RANT: DUMB BOYFRIEND

-edit-

to the boyfriend.

Uh no, I'm not only writing things to make myself look good. I'm writing down the FACTS. Sorry if you don't like to see everything in print and to the public. And FYI, I didn't say it was YOUR FAULT that I don't hang out with my friends anymore, i CHOSE not to, simply because you obviously hate my friends and hate it when I'm out with them. Get your facts straight before you leave me dumb messages. This is how it is. "You're just making stuff up" ? YEA SURE. You're going to say how none of what I wrote was true? WHO DO I HAVE TO IMPRESS ON THIS BLOG? This is my blog Christian, I don't make shit up. I'd rather lie about the size of my breasts than about YOU.

-end edit-

WARNING: RANT

UGH!! My boyfriend angrifies me so much!!

Every single week I'm ALWAYS with him if I'm not at school, literally. I have a class that is more or less posted completely online on Tues so I usually ditch with no problems once classes end Monday so I go down, spend the night at the bf's all of Tues, then head back to school Tues night for the rest of the week. This is ridiculous. MY FREAKING BOYFRIEND ALWAYS, 24/7 ACCUSES ME OF CHEATING ON HIM, talking to other ppl behind his back, being out, blah blah blah, even though you can obviously hear the tv on behind me and me eating shit like popcorn. I always tell him I'm NOT doing any of those above and that I'm so sick of always hearing his stupid accusations, when HE'S the one who always goes out with his friends and fails to call me when it's obvious he should. I'm always either at my apartment turning into a vegetable, shopping for groceries, going to school, or seeing him. Never always in that order of course.

It's so irritating! All I ever hear is how I assumably go out, talk to other ppl, blah blah blah when I show him that I'm NOT. I don't even hang out with my friends anymore, both from my old work, high school, or previous college anymore because whenever I'm out, I'm "cheating on him". Yea it's THAT bad. I can't even talk to HIS friends too openly or show one more attention than another because then "I like him" or it's always "why are you talking to him so much huh?"

How would it make YOU girls feel if everyday, you're being accused of basically being a slut when in reality, you're a book worm who sacrifices everything for your MENTAL CASE of a boyfriend?

I was online looking for his stupid xmas gift these past few days and I showed him a few options yesterday. Today I was looking at more and called him to tell him to go online so I could send him links to see what he thought of the stupid junk. I signed on, opted to go INVISIBLE so nobody could bother me. I still have a paper to finish and I wanted to just quickly show him the shit. He got all paranoid that I was invisible, CLAIMED I BLOCKED HIM, and is now currently calling me shady, even though I TOLD HIM CLEARLY WHY I WAS INVISIBLE. Nope. It's not considered sweet that I only want to talk to him online, it's considered "fucking shady".

I've told him before that if he doesn't have any proof, then don't accuse me of stupid shit because obviously it shows how insecure he is and it's IRRITATING to always be accused of being a WHORE. Yup. Everyday. If not everyday, then at least 3-4 times a week.

I'm sick of being the only one putting in effort here!! I know you're reading this Christian Giang.

OH AND I decided to calculate how much I drive every week due to school and my constant visits to the bf's house plus how we use MY car to drive down to see his friends and you know, go wherever right? Minimum of 420 miles a week. Maybe more if we go down to the OC more than once in a week. That's almost 1,000 miles in TWO WEEKS. Gas Guzzlers say WHUHHH? Yea. I fill my tank up every 3 days. Nice. Very nice.

Stupid no-effort-exerting boyfriend. He'll drive to HIS friends' house to hang out and whatever when they call him but he won't even drive to my house when we fight to say SORRY TO MY FACE, even though I CLEARLY STATED I was home the whole day. Na. He'd rather just wash his car, let it sit all sedentary and decided to only put in enough energy to dial the phone.

Whatever.

You know what else I hate? People who borrow money from you but don't pay you back for DAYS, MONTHS! Come on. How irresponsible can you be. You get the money back to pay me back but spend it on other shit.

*sigh* End rant.

Men. Seriously.. how retarded can they be?

No, don't answer that. I know a lot of you girls can probably make long ass lists.

.... Um.. I should really start on that paper that's kinda sorta due tomorrow.

Product Review: Matte powder

WUDDUP my lil chick-a-dees? 

I've been DYING to do a review on my new HG powder but I wanted to wait it out to make absolute sure that it's something I should share, don't want any surprise break outs now do we? I'm addicted to this stuff like a crack whore on coke!!!! I present to you..

Quick Blurb:

I can't rave enough about MUFE's Super Loose Matte powder.. but let's face it.. at $24 for a 0.35 oz sifter, it's enough to burn a crater through your wallet, save the hole for some lipgloss ladies. 

COST:
ONLY $8 for 0.34 oz!!!! That's not just HALF the price for MUFE.. but A THIRD OF THE PRICE!! 

ITEM:
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
I'm using Cream right now and for reference, I use MUFE 14 Sand in the loose powder, I think I'm an NC20 now that that summer's gone, maybe NC15 even, haven't been color matched since I lost my tan. Obviously, it's a compact powder as opposed to MUFE's loose powder form. I actually prefer pressed powders because it's a lot less messier than using loose powders. No weird smells, no weird feelings. Goes on smooth as a baby powder, even more fine than that. No cakey look either.

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!! I only have to touch up maybe twice a day, but that's only because I touch my face a lot and I have a pretty oily face, despite my skin being combo. Not only does it give me the same matte look that my MUFE does, it doesn't get all over the place! (I'm a messy applier) This shit really keeps my shiny-ness at bay and it sets my TM or foundation like no other! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! HG HG HG!! 

PROS:
- CLEAN AS FUCK TO USE
- .. AT LIKE.. 8 bucks? CHEAP!
- no break outs at all!! HELL YA

- has a swivelly mirror attached, good shit good shit

CONS:
- the puff it comes with sucks my nonexisting balls
- nothing!

IN LOVE WITH THIS!! Totally in love. Yup, we're getting married. I've already decided. You're all invited to my wedding. :) I'm going to keep buying this shit until it gets discontinued. Even after that, I'll stock up. I love my MUFE but I'll only use it on special occasions cuz you know.... the big caching caching is something to consider. 

:) I hope this is useful to someone! I swear, you'll love it. 

Katie

ps- Dear boyfriend, you suck.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Do you remember those old pictures that you made with your hands way back in the day? I DO!! We still have them.. man.. I was a shitty tracer.. judging by the picture you'd swear my hand had some massive defects or warts. 

Just popped in to say EAT UPPPPPPP LADIES! No need to worry about squeezin in those jeans today. Umm, unfortunately for me, my family has taken the different route this thanksgiving. We normally have the massive turkey feast or go on vacation to have a feast but we since it was raining lately, we decided to have a massive good ole chinese style hot pot with a side of fresh korean bbq. My house officially smells like a restaurant but it's alllllll gravy... mmmmm.. gravy... stuffing... MMMMMMM! 

HEHEHEHE I see many of you noticed my nice last line in my last post :)

You see.. my boyfriend loves to whip it out and scare the crap out of me. Take a few days ago for instance. I'm just layin on the bed playing with my ds.. when I see my boyfriend lurking over my head. Now.. I'm upside down so all I see is his head. Suddenly.. I feel this weird WARM feeling on my forehead.. yes.. the little fucker whipped out his dick and placed it on my head. 

"Hehehe it looks like a slug" he says.

Mmmm hmm. To sarah's comment. Yes.. it's enough to make you go -_____-. 

What color shall I paint my nails next? HMMM!! To be announced!  

:( I'm losing readers because of my slow posting. That's ok. To those who stick with me, I LOVE YO ASSES!! ..... I was going to review something but I forgot which item I was thinking of. 

:) My badddd!

Katie

I AM ALIIIIIIIIIVE!

:) Hello out there! I know, it seems like I'm blogging less and less, but I'm back for now! No pictures yet because I left my cable back at my apartment, but I did pick up two Cocomotion piggies from the Mac Metal Urge collection. Not diggin their cream shadow colors this year.. less impressive than last year. Nothing from the Holiday collections either, surprisingly. The palettes didn't reach out to me even though the packaging is WAY cute. I'm holdin out for the Hello Kitty collection (released Feb 12 in North America btw) and the Brunette, Blonde, Redhead collection coming out Jan 8th. Dame Edna's collection looks cute but it reminds me of products that have already been launched (Heatherette anyone?).

My flu has thankfully gone away and I'm 80% back to normal! :) A big thank you to the readers who've stuck with me!

I know I don't do fotds and eotds very much but you know.. school doesn't care much for makeup! But I will start doing some once winter rolls around! :)

O-M-G. MAKEUP REVIEW TO COME ON MY NEW HG DUPE. Did I say dupe? I FUCKING DID! Of what? :) Ehehehehe wouldn't you like to know? Stay tuned! It's worth it I swear, and it's saving me big bucks.

My boyfriend and I were having an argument about whips. Yes, whips. Not cars, but like.. WAPISHHHH whips. He says because Jesus was whipped, that's what killed him. I told him I was going to blog and tell everyone he said that. He said NOO it'll make him sound stupid. So I asked if he was willing to rethink what he said. He thought about it and said ok, maybe whips doesn't kill people, but only hurts them.

He still thinks it contributed to the death of Jesus.

...... Yes. That's it.

BTW. I am by no means religious. I'm agnostic.

Katie

-edit-
OMFG MY BOYFRIEND JUST ACCIDENTALLY POKED ME IN THE EYE TWICE WITH HIS STUPID DICK!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WE WEREN'T HAVING SEX EITHER. HE'S JUST GROSS!!

flu?

.... I think I was attacked by the flu bug yesterday, but I'm not sure what the flu is supposed to be like since I've never gotten the flu. Ok ok, I admit it.. I didn't get my flu shot this year..... :( I just hate needles!! I still feel like shit. Tell me if this sounds like the flu to you guys.

As of yesterday..

- stomach was all.. queasy and nauseous

- kept feeling like I had to barf but didn't

- some coughing but I think that's from me being sick last week (and not totally better yet)

- eyes felt so tired and watery

- my whole damn body hurts/is sore, like I was hit by a truck

- MASSIVE throbbing headaches that STILL haven't gone away
- chest... not pain but like.. something's squeezing it, trouble breathing at times

- sore throat

- sniffly nose

- no fever but it was 61 degrees in my room last night and I was COVERED and SOAKED in sweat (gross)

- legs felt like jello.. still do.
- tired as hell. Just flat out EXHAUSTED

- ears and hearing got extremely sensitive, slight ringing

- head hurts from just BRUSHING my hair.

:( ..... don't tell me that's the flu. I don't want to go back to my doctor's to hear him say "told you so!"

My bf and I thought maybe I ate something bad the night before yesterday.. because of the stomach thing you know? I couldn't even stomach down my small french fries last night.

Maybe I'll take some dayquil just in case.......

Who's had the flu? Help me! I'm feeling 10% better today, so hopefully it's one of those 24 hr or 72 hr ones.. and not those week long ones.. that'd suck.

Katie

ps- I'll do a review on that organic moisturizer I was talking about soon, why so soon? Because I feel like it!

The boyfriend.. annoying piece of turd

As promised.. the video of my annoying bf. 

YEEEEP.. he's a special one alright. Please excuse his suggestive comment within the first few seconds of the vid.

OH! I JUST received my new Earthen minerals! We'll see how much I love that later. I also got this moisturizer that's made strictly from organic stuff!! It smells like MASSIVE HERBY SHIT! Mm.. delicious. Taste the rainbow. You best believe you can expect some product reviews coming your way!

Katie

ps- I love your comments! :) You all help keep me procrastinate!! YESS!!!! 

wuddup gangsters?

THANK YOU ALL for your kind words and concern about the fires and my staple and finger story! MAN.. if you thought that was dangerous.. don't let me get started on my firecracker incident. Actually.. I'll save that post for another day. But I just wanted to pop in a let you all know that my house STANDS! My precious home of 20 years is alive and as beautiful as ever. I'll post pics from the fire up tomorrow and ALSO.. :) be on the look out for a video I'll post up, introducing to you.. the "thing" that is my boyfriend. Why do I call him a THING? Oh.. you'll see. You have to watch the WHOLLLE thing and i SWEAR you'll laugh your ass off. I did. He said it was ok for me to post it up too! It does get annoying towards the end because.. oh I don't want to ruin it! It's only about a minute long so no worries! 

:) Ciao loves!

Katie

ps- My hair is black now! ..... kind of. I'll post about that too.

ok, staple and finger story

I was about done with blogging when I put up those last two product reviews but then I was on facebook and re-read the message Sarah sent me about my old list of upcoming topics that I only finished half of. This was the easiest topic and the dumbest LOL.

I printed out a few papers back in my apartment weeks ago and went to staple it with my awesome stapler that can pinch 50 pages at once. Being the retarded aimer that I am.. I stapled it so that half the staple was pinching the paper while the other curled end was off the paper. So.. not wanting my professor to think I was a complete staple-impaired idiot, I tried taking it off with my fingers which NORMALLY would've been quick, easy, painless. Nope. I don't know how, but I managed to pierce the curved end into my thumb AND half of the straight middle part.. How? I DON'T KNOW. That was so painful. There was blood everywhere and yes, I had to reprint the paper. I got the staple out eventually but I remember my finger was throbbing the rest of the day. No seriously.. I can't even imagine how I got that much of the staple into my finger. I just remember fiddling with it while looking at the comp monitor.. and WABAMM.. cue gushing blood scene.

Product Review: Face Peel

Product Review number 2! Don't you guys just love it.

Quick Blurb:
I saw this on Pink's site and thought well.. my pores are looking mighty nasty lately, why the hell not? As much as I love my biore strips, I want something that'll do my WHOLE face.. not just my nose.



COST:
$5.99 at the mitsuwa that I went to but I see it going for $6.99 in other ones.. so I don't know which one's right. It comes in a plastic box so don't look around for just the tube.

ITEM:
Naris Up Egg Shell and Collagen Face Peel

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
Smells like............ glue. Texture is like glue. Feels like glue. Goes on like glue. Spreads like glue. This isn't the creamiest stuff out there but it works. If you can stand the smell then YAY! It comes out white, spreads on clear, dries clear.. almost in a high shine plastic way. Peels off easily but be CAREFUL AND SLOW.. come on now, you're not waxing yourself. LOL.

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
LOVE IT. It took out a lot of stuff that my biore strips seem to always miss. I want to use it on the bf but I'm scared at what I'll see.. the biore strip already looks so NASTY coming off of him. I wish the smell was a little..... nicer.. but I'll deal with it. So you spread it on, let it dry for 10-13 minutes, peel your ass off, stare at your peel, laugh at your blackheads for thinking they could win!

PROS:
- pretty easy to use
- at 6-7 bucks, it's pretty cheap
- takes the shit out of my pores!

CONS:
- smells like glue. YUCK.
- wish it was more spreadable

I'd probably recommend using this only once a week.. maybe twice if you have really nasty blackheads that pop up out of nowhere. Buy buy buy! I know a few people did reviews for this already and I know yummiebitez did one on the Naris Up package with two tubes. Go check them out too!

Product Review: TONER

Product Review!!

Quick Blurb:
I've mentioned this product before in my daily routine post way back then but I've finished a bottle of this stuff plus a half so now I can officially give you my views on this shit!


COST:
$9.99 at any health food stores, I usually get mine at GNC because it's the closest ya know?

ITEM:
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera formula

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
Smells DEVINE! I love the scent of roses and it's not overpowering! At least not to me. Doesn't sting at all because it's ALCOHOL FREE which is always a plus.. but it also has aloe vera formula in it so it actually makes your face feel so REFRESHED!

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
LOVE THIS SHIT!! It's been a staple in my daily skin care routine since like.. last year. That's how long this shit lasts! I always tone my face with this after I give it a good scrub and I just feel so clean and awake! I've used this on the bf on a few occasions and he didn't seem to mind it. HASN'T BROKEN ME OUT AT ALL!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOve this. Hate the bottle though. High leak risk. It's not packaged well so if you're traveling, I recommend that you store this in a diff container unless you want everything leaking out.

PROS:
- smells DEVINE
- Easy to use
- DOESN'T STING LIKE A BITCH
- REFRESHED FEELING FROM THE ALOE VERA
- ALCOHOL FREE
- No break outs yet!
- Will last forever!
- 10 BUCKS for a whole year? WORTH IT. CHEAP.

CONS:
- packaging sucks monkey balls
- nothing else!

TOTAL HG STATUS FOR ME. Check it out if you get the chance! If you're a total makeupalley fiend.. it has above a 4.0 rating from MANY users!

day 2 of Yorba Linda fires..

Hey everyone! 

Just a quick update about what's going on as I know many of you have heard about the fires here.. right after I put up that last post.. the police actually came to our street and told us to get the fuck outta there. It was insane.. we packed up (my sis took 5 suitcases).. we were throwing stuff into our cars outside and it was SO hard to breath.. the air was so thick and you can taste the ash in the air. The sky was officially black and brown.. in fact, when I looked up again last night at the sky, the moon was red, so you know what that means. You know how sometimes in the morning, there's that foggy haze that you have to drive through to get to school? Yea.. it was like that.. but brown and ashy.. ridiculous.. I had to turn on my headlights and fog beams but even then I had to drive slowly. My family decided to split up 3 ways, it's easier and less stressful and we wouldn't inconvenience people too much you know? My mom and dad got a hotel in Rowland Heights, my sis went to her bf's house in Cerritos, I went to my apartment here in LA even though i'm only 30 minutes away from the Sylmar fires.

Is my house gone? I don't know yet.. all I know is.. Sarah lives a block away from me. She texted me and told me a house 2 houses up from her was burning down. So.. that's how close it was when I left. Last I heard.. it swept over my residential area and down over to my old elementary school. I don't know.. all I can do is wait. 

My aunt owns two houses up in the hills, one she actually lives in, the other she left open for rental that wasn't currently occupied. When she left because of the mandatory evac to come to our house, her first house was on fire and her current house's backyard was in flames. Sarah lives only a block away from me.. and when I was leaving, she texted me and told me a house 2 houses up from hers was burning down.. so that's how close it was before I left. Sarah also told me that two of our old high school friends Pierre and Mark basically just lost their homes as well to the fire. 

All I could do last night was watch the news, check the comp for updates and play comp games to easy my mind. I'm checking now and it looks like the fire has gotten worse overnight. 

Cross your fingers and pray for my city.. I've never been so scared in my life.. I cried when I first met up with my boyfriend in Garden Grove. 

I'll keep you guys updated.

Katie

Yorba Linda Fires....

Right now I'm on my sister's comp in my hometown Yorba Linda.. if you live anywhere nearby you might see the smoke. I have pictures but that won't be up until a while later.. the sky is black and brown.. no blue. The sun almost blends in with the color of the sky right now. I just came back from the doctor's because I'm getting sick and just that trip alone made my hair smell like an ash tray. You can hear and see sirens going off and on. I know the fires are near Gypsum Canyon, which is the PV of Yorba Linda and also at the Black Gold Golf course which is in YL but closer towards Brea mall. I doubt my family will need to evacuate but I'm crossing my fingers for my uncles and aunts up in the hill area.

Damn allergies. I feel like somebody just punched me right in the middle of my face.

Love to you all. Stay safe

Katie

PRODUCT REVIEW: MUFE CONCEALER

Product review!! LOVE THIS SHIT

Before I begin...

I was looking for a new concealer because I just wasn't happy with any of the ones I was using.. nothing was HG status for me yaknow?

COST:
$30.. I know.. it's PRICEY. Double the price of MAC's studiofinish concealer.

ITEM:
Make Up Forever Full Coverage Concealer

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
Doesn't smell at all. I'm shade 4. It's not too liquidy or thick at all! Spreads on easily and hasn't been too cakey at all either!!

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
LOVE THIS SHIT!! COVERS LIKE NO OTHER! Best of all.. it's oil free and it claims to be waterproof but I find it does slip off if I splash water on it a few times and rub a little. Stays perfect when I sweat though! I've been using it for like.. 2 months now.. and I STILL have a long way to go! This thing is going to last me.. hmm.. I'd really estimate until March. I love how it's a tube too, more hygienic that way in my opinion. You don't even need a lot to get good coverage!

PROS:
- No bad smell
- Easy to use

- Not cakey

- Covers like a dream
- oil free!

- No break outs yet!

- Will last forever!

- Packaging is simple, easy to carry and hygienic!

CONS:
- pricey
- nothing else!

TOTALLY buying again, it's officially HG for me now. The price sucks balls but it's worth it to me. 

HELLO OUT THERE! Grocery shopping!

Hello all!! 

:) That was a long hiatus.. at least for me. I just can't keep away from blogging, even though it's about nothing! About that midterm.. I would've gotten an EXCELLENT score on it.. if it hadn't been for my negligence.. and I missed something completely obvious. It's ok though.. my paper should make up for it! 

So me and the boyfriend went to Mitsuwa to do my weekly grocery shopping.. plus snack-picker-upper.. I just wanted to share with you guys some of my favorite snacks!

Roasted green peas and hot rice crackers are a staple in my cabinet. I hate the wasabi green peas.

UMMMM.. anything by Calbee is DELICIOUS, nuff said! MMM.. those Onion Garlic chips are delicious too.

DELICIOUS SHIT RIGHT HERE! I love eating instant noodle dry and out of the bag.. this is like.. pre seasoned shit :)

Pre-made bentos are the best! Our fav has always been the Chicken Karaage.

The boyfriend playing Naruto

Like his hair? I dyed it for him!

HEH.. I'm steppin on him!

... lil nigga is TINY AS HELL! :)

So what have I been up to lately? After midterms I went to visit my manfriend! We went to hang out with Jason and Matt as usual. Alex and Phuong came later, surprise! They played games while I lost.. many times. Phuong was bored so he started drinking some J&B.. he started out with like.. 3 shots but then kept goin until 5. Safe to say he kinda passed out. Lol, first time Alex tried to wake him up, he sat up, said 5 more minutes, then knocked out again. Same thing happened for another 5-6 times. I tried Oxy for the first time and it was ok at first. However.. later on I started feeling sick so I had to lie down. We decided to leave and throughout the whole car ride, I was barfing like mad!! 8 times to be exact! I haven't barfed since 7th grade! SHOCKING! Never touched Oxy after that.

This past monday, the boyfriend and I were bored so we thought HEY! ROLL! I know, so bad! Blue fuck you will really.. fuck you! Jason had one and we stayed up like the troopers we are! MARCH! LEFT RIGHT LEFT! ok, half/most readers probably won't understand what most of this blog is about. :) No worries! 

Who's going to TAO (Together As One) ???? Can't wait till EDC next summer.

OH!

So my boyfriend.. hehe.. I want to put his dick in a blender! I was laying down in his bed last friday and he came up to me and wrapped me up in his blanket burrito style and just SAT on top of me. I was like.. wth are you doing? He said "I'm wrapping you up like a tortilla."

.... Tortilla? I said "You mean.. like a burrito.. tortilla's are flat.."

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE LIL FUCKER SAID? "ehehehe.. like YOU!"

Then he proceeded to jump off, run out the door, slam the door.. and left me like a the mad burrito that i was.

Revenge? Yes. I sat on top of him and tweezed his facial hair. HEHEHEHEH. The end!

Recipe for starving college students

WUDDUP CHANGALINS? 

Today's a blog catch up day! This one will be a recipe I kinda.. formed. My apt fridge was empty so I went out and got random stuff to make. :( A starved Katie is not a happy Katie. 

I call it.. ok.. I couldn't think of anything so I just asked the boyfriend while he's playing Naruto.. and he calls it..

Lonely Friday Night Pasta in one pot!

Ingredients:

- your choice of pasta, mine's Anthony's Small Shells

- tomato sauce

- pepper and salt

- Worcestershire Sauce

- Basil

- Oregano

- 4 cloves garlic, chopped (i love garlic)

- half yellow onion, chopped

- Aji Mirin (optional)

- Lawry's Spaghetti sauce season mix

- half pound ground beef

Open your pasta and put in as much as you need, I did about a cup

I think you all know how to boil pasta. I like to salt my water when I'm boiling, I just like it like that. A palm full should do, depends on your pot.

Wait for water to boil, then toss in pasta

Strain pasta, dump all the water out. (i lost my strainer so.. yeaaaa..)

Put pot back on stove, pour in some oil. Dump in your chopped garlic! MMMM!

Chop up your onions and toss those in too! Cook until soft.. who wants hard onions right?

Once onions and garlic are well cooked, toss in your ground beef, cook cook cook!

I actually put in some Aji Mirin here to cook the meat, it gives it a nice taste, COMPLETELY optional though. Up to you and whether or not you even use it!

Good time to toss in a little salt and pepper

Open your can of tomato sauce and pour that shit in there! I hate this brand, don't get it. It was a last resort thing.

Pour in HALF this packet and a TABLESPOON OF OIL plus ONE CUP OF WATER (only cookin for myself!) If you don't.. it'll be too thick.

Season as you like. I only did one dash of oregano (strong!) and two dashes of basil (mmmm)

Pour in 1 and a half tablespoon of worcestershire sauce.. could be done when you're cooking meat or when you're making the sauce.

pepper and salt as you like again.. serve!

The end. Easy, people probably know how to do this already but this is for people who are starving and want to try something easy.

FUNNY STORY. 

My mom gave me a new can opener.. which works like shit. How do i know it works like shit? Well.. I used it for the first time on that can of tomato sauce, and it cut a centimeter.. stopped cutting.. cut some more.. stopped cutting.. very uneven and YES i know how to use a can opener.. it was WEIRD. In the end, I got half the can cut open while the meat was cooking.. so being desperate.. I used a fork to push up the lid but it wasn't cut enough so I was like.. FUCK IT.. I pushed the lid down, hoping it would bend.. well it bended faster than I thought and the can ended up exploding in my face. YUP. Tomato sauce on my face, shirt, glasses.. you name it. 

:) Adios! Next blog!

I totally lied, PRODUCT REVIEW

Yea I totally lied when I said I was going to be MIA, not here, studying, you know you know.. what can I say? When it comes to school.. my attention span just seems to shrink! ;D You guys know what I'm talking about.......... ok no really I hope I'm not the only one. LOL!! 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Before I begin..

Bought this at Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa like.. MONTHS ago but never did a review on it (or mentioned it lol).. and I found it in my drawer when I was looking for my lotion. Figured.. HEY, I should tell people about this before they go out and pick it up!

COST:
about $5-6 bucks, can't remember, I just remember it was cheap. The concept fascinated me.

ITEM:
Kose Softymo Super Black Pore Cleansing Gel

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
When you squeeze out the gel, it's a light charcoal color but when you smear it on your clogged pore areas, it will almost appear clear and you'll think wtf? It's ok, let it dry, it will start turning a lighter grey from the clear so you know where to rub it off. Smells a LOT like citrus/oranges, very pleasant! 

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
Wash your face FIRST, then squeeze a good amount onto your fingers and smear over your nose, whatever, etc. Message/foam it for a few seconds on your skin. Leave it alone for 2-3 minutes so it can dry. Scrub it off with your fingers, then wash the rest off with warm water. The gel can only be put on DRY SKIN. Ok.. the whole scrub it off with your fingers.. do it as close to the sink or whatever as you can.. because believe me, it's going to get MESSY. I have bad eyes so I get really close to the mirror to see and I totally missed the sink when I was scrubbing it off.. so all this black ashy stuff littered my countertop. It was gross looking. Even if you're careful, it'll still make a mess, the scrubbed off parts don't stay on your face, they WILL fall no matter what. After washing, my face felt clean but nothing special. I looked at my pores after a few uses and nothing's changed, so I'm very EHHH about it. It was cheap so I'm not too heartbroken.

PROS:
- Smells yummy!!

- Easy to use, doesn't take a lot of time

- Ch-ch-CHEAP

CONS:
- Didn't do shit for my pores
- Messy.

I wouldn't buy it again, on a point scale, I'd give it a 2 out of 5 just because it smelled good. 

I'm hungry, time to make a sandwich!

Oh, remember my PSP? Since I was stuck on a game on my DS light.. my bf stole it and won't give it back. HMPH. Just because the only game I've played on it was the Sims Island one.. well I guess he can break in the buttons for me. Oh so lately I've had the urge to play SF Third Strike.. like REAL playing. I know the concept but bf never plays with me much. Caved in, bought my own ps2 plus anni version of the game. I know.. I have a lot of tech stuff around my house and apartment, it's ridiculous. 

Ok, my stomach is like.. RAWR BITCH RAWR right now. Ta ta again!

Katie

yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Ok, I'll be MIA for a lil bit. Midterm this Friday! With that, I'll leave you with a short youtube vid that i found hilarious. It's for an Antiboredom campaign. HEHEHEHE

My late halloween post chiyaa

WARNING. LOTS OF PIC WHORING AND REALLY LONG POST

I was thinking.. what ever happened to those chi-chi-chia pet commercials? It's like.. they just completely disappeared a few years ago, never to be seen again. Have you noticed those fanta commercials are starting to simmer down too? What about those hooked on phonics commercials? :( Does this mean America doesn't care whether or not I learn my engrish well anymore? *sniffle* All they care about is trying to brainwash me into CLEANING.. like.. wtf am I going to do with all those different air freshners.. should I stick in the duo light one in one room, while sticking the duo OIL one in another and then sticking the duo fan one outside? Why make so many yucky smelling dishwashing soaps? STOP TRYING TO SELL ME SOAP! That stuff lasts me forever!! I'm very happy with the apple smelling one thank you very much.

On the way to Avalon, pic whoring it up

Ok no really, my halloween post now.

-OH HALLOWEEN-

This was when i was getting ready in my apt. Pre-lashes as you can tell.

OMG MY LASHES GAVE ME SUCH A HARD TIME! I've never had so much trouble with my lashes before. I put the glue on them, waited for it to get tacky.. but then stupid me, I accidently squeezed extra glue onto my fingers earlier but forgot to wipe it off, so when I grabbed my lashes to stick them on, the glue got on them and clumped together my left lashes!! You can see it in the other pics later on sorta. 

But yea..

I. Got. So. Fucked. Up.

LOL!!!!!! 

Ok I'll spin my tale now with the occasional input of pictures. I took my sweet time getting ready and ate some dinner too. Funny story about dinner. I wanted to make some pasta. Me and Eddy cut up our onions, garlic, defrosted the beef, boiled the water, everything was ready to go. Then.. we realize we didn't have a can opener for the tomato paste. AHHHH!!! You'd think we would've thought of that first but nope. :) The end of that story.

Playing with camera settings. SEE? ONE LASH IS MORE CLUMPED THAN THE OTHER!!

So I'm all ready, costume put on, just waiting for my darling to come pick me up with his friends. I was walking around in my heels to break them in some more before actually going, you know, just in case, when I sit down to put on my fishnets. I finished, crossed my leg, and KICKED my own thigh with my damn heels. I got a bruise the size of a quarter and a long blood clotted scratch the length of my pointing finger. OI VEY!! Of course I didn't realize this until I sat down at dinner Sunday night at my parents' house. LOL.

Matt's car in front of mine on the way to Avalon

So when Christian gets here in Matt's car, I toss my keys to open the garage gate to Christian to let Matt in because I forgot the tickets in my room, so clomp clomp clatter, I ran to the other side to get back in the apt complex, but I forgot I had given Christian my keys!! So clomp clomp clatter, I run back to show them where to park and get the keys. I had enough of my heels by then so I just took them off, put them in my trunk, and walked around barefoot. LOL. They came up to my apartment to use the bathroom while I got the tickets and off we went! We took local because you know.. Avalon and Vanguard are only 15 minutes away from my apartment.. it took us a while to find parking though. The ticket line wasn't too bad but I was the last to get in. That's when the trouble started.

On the way to Avalon

You can see my makeup here

Ok, I'm only 20, soon to be 21 in 5 months. I never wanted to spring for a fake ID before so I ended up using the expired ID that Diana gave me, who's 23 I think. Our height and weight are the same but we look nothing alike unless you're totally vision impaired. We tried our luck anyway but I got so busted. LOL. The bouncer (douche) looked at it, looked at me, let some other people in, then started testing me on all the info on Diana's card. Well.. you know I SHOULD know this, but obviously he knew it wasn't me so I didn't even try remembering. He's all.. "so tell me why this look nothing like you?" I'm all.. "I had eye surgery" .. he believed me about that because I could show him the scars but he still knew it wasn't me. So what I was wondering was why the FUCK didn't he just take my card away and tell me to leave? He just seemed to be loitering and keeping me there for entertaining purposes! Christian came up from behind him and asked "could she just tip you?" and the bouncer said "you should have done that in the FIRST place!" .... we were like.. wtf....

Matt said that I got lucky because I was pretty. That bouncer doesn't like ugly people and one time, he had a friend who used a fake ID but the bouncer wouldn't let her through and told her to get in back of the line. Then she said "if I go to the back of the line THEN can I get in?" and the bouncer said "You can wait in line all you want but you're still not getting in." WOWWWW.. :) cool. I'm pretty. Nice to know now.

I look old here but do you see my dewy cheek? :D

So the general rule was to tip 10 bucks according to matt.. the thing is.. I only had a 20, a 5, and three 1's on me. Not wanting to risk getting rejected, I gave him the 20. RAWR!! Doesn't matter, as long as I'm in right? So we get in and matt, christian and I drop our first ones for the night! The club was PACKED. You could NOT get anywhere without being shoved, pocked, rubbed, anything!! I gotta say though.. the first music appearance was HORRIBLE. A lot of people hated that coke addict. When he was done, people on the second floor were boo-ing and telling him he's a fag and that he doesn't belong on stage. LOL!! I don't feel bad for him because he did sincerely suck. As it started to get near about 12-1 AM, they booted him off and a DJ appeared that started bumpin HOUSE for the rest of the night which was pretty bomb! I wish I could've taken a picture of this couple's costumes. They were wearing robot suits made from those big ass boxes, you know, the kind you see two people carrying most of the time? It was pretty funny, they tried to dance with each other and kinda sumo-wrestled body slammed most of the time while doing the robot. Props for creativity!

On the first floor. Not sure why my hair looks so short.

We wandered around from room to room checking out the diff music they had playing. TEEHEE Christian and Matt kept going outside for smoke breaks but that didn't last very belong because BOTH OF THEM ran out of cigarettes. They each had 2 to be exact. I was ROFLing my ass off because they looked so sincerely depressed. 

Since it was so crowded on the dance floor, we decided to meander up to the second floor where it was kind of a bleacher format but with carpet so yo ass doesn't hurt. That's when me, Christian and matt dropped our second for the night. That club was REALLY nice, but you know, I'm just comparing it to those tiny clubs like Friction and whatnot. I never liked Friction. It was always just BLAH to me. 

When you look up from the second floor

When you look straight across from the second floor

Ok so Matt went as a ........ uh.. I THINK it was a disco dude.. but i can't really tell anymore. He had this massive afro on but that thing didn't stay on his head for more than an hour because it got way too hot for him. Sooo.. Christian put it on.

Long hair doesn't suit my little darling. OH LOOK! MATT'S BEHIND HIM!

We walked around and went back up to chill and it was starting to get crowded up on the second floor too. If you looked down at the dance floor, it was INFESTED with people! Walking became a little difficult by this time. I dropped my third by this time while matt and christian only dropped halves. I was taking pics of me and christian you know.. being as cam-whorish as I could be, when this guy next to us was like "want me to do it?" So sure why not?

Only pic of my outfit. My face looks retarded. I look like a schoolgirl!

Kissy kissy!

By about 2-3 AM we were rollin balls. It was amazing!! I also met Randy, one of Matt's friends. He was dressed as.. umm.. I don't remember, but he had a mask and gloves, so maybe a jabba. He was soooo funny!! I forgot who else I met but you know.. my memory sucks anyways. On the way out of the club, when we were crossing the street, Matt saw some money on the floor and picked it up. He thought at first it was only 5 bucks but when he uncrumpled it, there was a 20 in there too!!!! LUCKY!!!!

We ended up leavin the club at like.. 4:30 in the morning and when we got back to my apartment, I knocked out while Christian snored his ass off (waking me up sporadically).

OMG!! SO my pillow cases are like.. PURE white not that dirty yellowish creme ones. I keep it very spick and span-y. I wake up and notice that Christian left little blood marks from his chapped lips on one of my pillows!! I was like.. AHHHHHH!! And he was all.. EHEHEHEH!! He continued to rub and molest my pillow like there was no tomorrow. Needless to say I took it home and bleached it. We spent most of the day at my apartment since it started to rain here in LA. Lame. Not that we wanted to go out anyway. I made a sandwich for both of us and he declared it the bombest sandwich he's ever tasted but you know, you can't really say much about HIS sandwiches.. as he only cuts open a loaf of bread, slaps in meet like no other, and that's about it. EWWWW!!!! 

We acted like the lazy bums that we were until 5 PM.. then I packed up, got ready and off we went to play with Matt and Jason again. We were all pretty hungry when we met up so we went to eat some Pho at a place where they kept speaking viet to us even though it was very obvious none of us understood a WORD they were saying. 

o.0 me

@.@ christian

0.o matt and jason

=D waiter

lol, our facial expressions. We went back to their house, those three Oxy'd themselves, what's up with that word anyway lol, then when 10 PM rolled around, I took Christian back to his house in Corona and went back to my hometown. Sister wasn't back from partying in Davis yet with her bf and friend. That's ok, the next day mom made hot pot for dinner and jess brought me back some snacks! 

We were both dressed as sailors but mine was a vixen two piece while my sister's was more blue and white one piece. LOL!! She showed me her pics and said she stuffed her boobs like no other and guys were all WOAHHHH!! 

Ok, I'll end this horribly long blog so it doesn't bore you all. To all those that actually read this and made it this far down, CONGRATS!! 

OH SHIT, i forgot to talk about my new mineral samples.. umm.. Ok, next time.

:) If you want to know what I used for my halloween look, ask! I don't remember EVERYTHING but I know the major pieces that made my face. 

HOPE YOU ALL HAD FUN!! I know I did!! 

Katie

PS- I know nobody but girls and Christian read this but wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to Matt! :) So sweet and nice! He brought me all my blue ladies just because!! I didn't expect it nor did I ask for them!! AND A BIG THANK YOU to Christian, who was only at my apartment for less than a few hours and caused some serious destruction! Jerk. If I had a penis, it'd be all up on your face and in your nose right now with all it's pubic glory tickling your pores!!!!

HAPPY 2 DAYS AFTER HALLOWEEN!

What's crackin SON? 

:) Ok.. I WAS planning on working on my paper all of today and then eat some delicious hot pot here at home (american food is almost never cooked at my parents' home, i cry for the cholesterol and fatty oils!) buuuut.. I got distracted and here I am. 

Pictures will be up soon of my halloween makeup but sadly.. I didn't get a whole body shot of my costume!! We were rushin around and didn't have time for me to even think of taking it and by the time I did, I was pretty fucked up LOL! VERY fun and new experience. The only pic I have is a semi half body cut off my ass shot that a person took when I was taking pics of myself and christian and he offered to take one for me.. I might post it but my head looks HUUUUGE at the angle. Ok so I'll blog more in depth about that night tomorrow when I get back to my apt at night (camera was left there) but I WILL leave you with a funny story/incident that we all saw. 

Story:

Ok, imagine being on a narrow four lane road, two lanes going the opposite direction but it's narrow because come on, it's Hollywood and people park big cars on the side of the street where you're technically NOT supposed to. We're sitting in the far right lane (thank god) and Matt's car was in front of us (will introduce him in next blog). The lane to our left was pretty congested too and this green civic pulled up next to us, bumpin cracked out PLAYED OUT old school something or another, couldn't identify the genre. The driver and people were puttin on makeup, talking loud and taking pics of themselves.. like everyone. Driver was holdin up a camera too and not really paying attention to the road. The road was going up hill and the cars in front of them cleared up so they should go right? Nawwww, they were too busy takin pics and doin their makeup that the driver didn't step on her breaks all the way, started rolling allllllll the way down hill. You could see this happen in slow motion. The car at the bottom of the hill was honkin it's horn off but no, that didn't do shit because WABAMM the civic crashed into the car behind it. The girls were like OMG WTF? But they didn't get out, they sped  up and left the other car behind at a red light. As we also pulled up (made the light) we saw them put on hazard lights, and some cholo girl came out with earrings as big as her FEET. She looked at the back of her car and was said really loudly "Damn, she BETTER not have scratched my baby!" ..... DUDE. She thought the people behind her HIT HER!! LOL DUMBEST SHIT EVER!! I'd be so pissed if that happened to me. 

:) That's all for today!

Katie

ps- I almost didn't get in teh club! A little more about that later. Matt said I was lucky that I was pretty and told me a story about his friend. More about that later too! 

-edit-

ALSO! I received my Joppa samples and more EDM. Waiting on my Buff'd now!
