Ok.. the update of the century

:) This is.. going to be one big ass entry. I don't think it, I KNOW it.

Don't let my poo snakes and scat pictures fool you, lots of things have been happening so I keep laggin on updating this blog! Just by seeing my views and stuff.. I can see I've lost OVER half of my frequent readers *sniffle* but that's ok. Less people to please!

Let's jump back to last week since you know.. that's about how long I've been lagging. HEEEEEhehe.

LAST (not this past) Saturday

Woke up late...er. BF wanted to go home early that day so since we had nothing planned, it was fine by me! We got to his house at likeee.. I want to say 1 PM.. I was pretty sleep because my shoulders were KILLING me for some reason that week.. so that kept me up most of the nights. I tried to nap in hubby's room but hubby kept buggin me and playing his music on his comp so loud that I couldn't nap. HMPH!! So since my car was covered in a nasty film of dirt and bird crap, I told him to wash it! In a speedo!

.... He didn't own a speedo.. and I won't accept tighty-whities as an alternative, so that promise has been postponed for now. I went outside to watch him and count how many minutes it would take for him to rip off his shirt because hubby has a tendency to like to be half naked sometimes out in public. Weird... yea.. anyways he was filling the bucket up with water and I wanted to hose my car down first! So.. I did. Then I tried to hose my hubby down but that didn't work. Hose only goes so far.. hubby can run *sad*. I was originally NOT going to help.. but he missed so many spots that I HAD to jump in there and do it myself!! MEN.. they never pay attention to details!! It's really weird.. maybe the heat from that day (HOT AS HELL) got to my head or something but I got REALLY into cleaning my car.. like not only did I wash it, dry it, vacuum the inside, polish the seats, dash, center console, trimmings, sides, etc etc.. but I actually took the time.. 1.5 hours, to hand WAX my hood, headlights, rear lights, all things chrome on my car, front bumper, rear bumper, trunk, pillars, and all my doors. Have you girls waxed your cars to perfection before? It's killer, but sooooo worth it in the end. I refused to let the MAN wax for me.. I mean.. look at HIS car.. as clean as it is, you can TELL he's a lazy ass waxer from all the swirlies you can see on his!! *tear* ... my car was so beautiful that day.. I was soooooo proud!! It took me.. 3.5 hours total!!! YEAAAA!! hahahah.. I was sweating.. a lot. Oh.. BTW.. the NEXT day.. bf was driving my car.. and drove near sprinklers.. which got the right side of my car by a little bit. All my work.. down the tubes. YOU DICK!!

So anyway, after washing my car, Pen and Alex invited us to go see the Fast and the Furious part 4 with them and Alfonso (mutual friend of both bf and his twin aka.. alex!) It was mostly to get Alfonso's mind off his relationship... problems/trauma/issues/etc. SADLY.. since it was a Saturday.. that means I have to go home to my parents' house.. which means.. I can't stay out that late. Yea I know.. it's sad. My mom's fine with me coming home late.. it's my tyrant-scary-mountain bear of a dad that is really anal about it. LOL, he still refuses to think I'm 21.

SOOO, we decided to go out to eat at a buffet in Chino Hills!! OMG.. the food there was BOMB!! Buffets are usually ehh ok to me, but this was one actually pretty good!! HEHEHE Pen had a little to drink before we got there and I joined in a little as well (had to drive home yo!) AHHHH.. lots of laughing.. lots of inside jokes. Day 24. Mountain dew. LOL!!!!!

Last (not past Sunday)

grocery shopped with mom, studied while she was at the hair salon, studied at home, went to pick up hubby, back to apartment!

This past Monday

First off.. Happy 4 20!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! No I didn't do anything, but I did take this cute picture though! First midterm of the quarter! UMM.. as much as I studied.. I know it wasn't enough. I had this professor for different class last quarter and his tests are a BITCH. He's one of those types who tests on the weirdest details and.... ugh!!!

This past Wednesday (recipe!)

So schooling as always. Christian wanted me to cook something but I didn't feel like making anything too hard or time consuming you know? SOOO.. I decided to make a steak recipe that my mom had taught me before but to change it up and make it more juicy, flavorful and filling. Her version was more light and stuff.. her "healthy" friend taught it to her but it's so easy that I actually remembered it.

Steak Strips and Veggies Recipe! Serves two

One Yellow Bell Pepper, One Red Bell Pepper, One Yellow Onion, Two Rib Eye steaks

Wash the vegetables thoroughly, then thinly slice the bell peppers and chop the onions in a chunky fashion, not too small but good bite sized pieces. Too small and they'll burn later.

Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper, toss on some tenderizer if you have it too.

I don't have it pictured but toss the steaks on the skillet first with some oil, browning both sides to a nice seared brown. This should only take maybe.. 6-7 minutes, they should still be red and bloody on the inside. Then toss them on the cutting board and slice them into decent sized strips. Keep them on the cutting board for now. Pour in some oil again and toss in the vegetables. You want to brown the onions but still have them kind of firm since you'll be cooking them with the steak some more later. Try to saute them enough so that the bell peppers soften as well. Aren't the colors just beautiful?

Toss in your steak strips now and maybe 4 dashes of Oyster Sauce.. uhh.. I guess that'd be like.. 3.5 Tablespoons the way I do it.. HAHAHA!! Don't forget to toss in a little salt and pepper for more flavor! Yumm Yumm YUmm!!! Cook to how you like your steaks!

Easy peasy no?!?! It's VERY filling too!

This past Thursday

The usual schooling.. but Christian got a call from his old friend Anson who was throwing a game night in honor of two birthdays, Chris (not christian) and himself plus HIS twin Jesse! Despite the fact I have school on Friday.. we decided to go! Why not you know? I haven't seen that crowd in a while! Met old friends, made some new ones, got home a little past 12 AM, nothing too exciting.

This past Saturday

WOOO.. fun day of the week! Christian has been moaning and groaning to go to this car meet during this entire week so I got up at 8:30 AM (usually sleep in on weekends) got ready, packed up, left the apartment at around 9:30 AM.. got to his house at 10:40 AM to pick up his car and wait for his older brother so that we could go to the meet together.... but then Russell (the older brother) didn't want to go till later, so Christian wanted to go later... WTF!!! I COULD'VE gotten more beauty sleep!!! GRRRRRRRR!! He was rushing me like crazy in the morning too!! Bitch! Anyways.. so I took a nap in his room until the time came for us to go.. which was like.. 1PM. We got there.. there was a lot of people.. nothing too impressive.. the import model Lisa Flemming was there signing stuff.. wow.. she's ridiculously short and petite! Anywhos.. I don't know what it is about car meets.. but my hair always gets nasty, oily, and matted down.. which again.. happened here. Which SUCKED because I was meeting up with the bloggers ladies later on in the day!! Oh well.. what can I do right?

Me walking at the meet.. bf was using my camera to take pics of his car.. guess he caught me in this one. I look like I'm floating!

I pimped MY RIDE!!!! hahahah jk.. jap import version of my car. I kept saying 5 Zigen with an accent for a good 2-3 minutes after this picture.

We ended up leaving at 2:30 PM because I had to go meet up with my ladies! BF was all bummed because we missed the first raffle at 2 PM.. and the next one was at 3 PM. He totally wanted something free. HAHAHAH! We ended up being 10 minutes late at our first meeting spot, Dot Com Beauty Supply Store, but that's ok.. I wasn't LAST!! HEHEHE! Angie and Kristine (Aquaracer) had already gotten there (supposed to meet at 3 PM)! We waited for Sarah to get there and then we left to our second spot, Ce Fiore in Rowland Heights! My fav is Ces Fiore in Montery Park but I'm pretty sure nobody wanted to drive that far. LOL!

My Eyes.. same as always, I'm so boring. LOL. I'm actually in a make up funk lately.

babe says I look cute here.

So we all went to Ce Fiore to get some yogurt!! YUMMY!! Me and Christian basically inhaled ours pretty fast.. and I stole some of Sarah's mocchi because she couldn't finish hers anyway!! :) Awww, Angie, Kristine, and Sarah all got me something!! I can't wait to post picture of them up later!! I'd spoil the surprise if I told you all what they got me individually!! You'll have to wait for the next entry but THANK YOU GIRLS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I feel so bad for not getting anyone anything!! :( You guys would've loved life sized cardboard cut-outs of me right?? HEHEHEHEH!!!!

So after we chilled there for a while, we went to shop at The Amore store in 99 Ranch Market. I wanted to get the spot treatment that Pink was raaaaaving about but they don't make it anymore!! OH NO!!!! I didn't want to splurge on anything there because I go there almost every weekend with my mom and have what I need already LOL!!!! Sarah picked up some falsies though, Angie got some skin products, and Kristine got some nail polish I believe! Then we went INSIDE 99 (I was back in there the next day lol) because Angie wanted to pick up some bamboo for her momma back home! LOL.. sooo funny.. we're at the register waiting for our turn and Angie comes up carring two bags filled with HUGE bamboos!! ahhahahah!!! And she THOUGHT she was going to fit them in her PURSE earlier!! :) You silly silly girl!!!

(sarah can you see your earrings in this pic??)

Earrings that Sarah made!!! She's SOOOOO TALENTED!!! Aren't they beautiful?? Just my style!! I love dangly earrings!! I love them so much, I'm going to actually take modeling pics with them and send them to you or just advertise your site on my page later on in the future when I'm not busy!! I requested Eggplant I believe, a mix of greys and light purples! GO ORDER FROM HER BITCHES!

So after the Amore Store, we went to Puente Hills Mall to shop at Ohayo but I think they closed down!! There's like.. nothing in that store anymore! But right next to it is a place called Cosmeland.. which looks IDENTICAL on the inside as Ohayo.. so I think they basically just downsized themselves due to our failing economy. Angie went crazy in there, Sarah ALMOST made it out with nothing but I trapped her and tempted her with this delicious smelling lotion, which she caved in and bought, plus some masks for her face! Kristine bought another GORGEOUS GORGEOUS nail polish.. I can't even describe the color! It was BEAUTIFUL!! I bought a new face wash to try out, pictured at the end. LOL! So.. this mall got really hot and un-ventilated.. so we decided after walking around a bit to leave, but not before passing by Beard Pa Pa and getting some cream puffs! Then it was off to Brea Mall to kill some time before dinner.

Once at Brea Mall, we basically stayed at Nordstroms. We hovered over the Dior counter first, where we chatted and swatched. I noticed my lipgloss was eaten away (a bad habit of mine), so I picked up a nice peach/coral colored sheer gloss, the tube squeeze it ones that I have like.. 5 of.. but this is the ONE color I hadn't gotten before, Mango Soda! I tried it on and it was BEAUTIFULLLLLL!! HEHEHEH being the crazy tempter that I am.. I wanted Sarah to SMELL IT. She can't resist things that smell good or yummy, so I KNEW she'd try it on. I WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY BABY!!! I knew it'd look good on her too because like me, she has very pigmented lips so since it looked good on me, it would most DEF look good on her pouty pout pout! ;D SCORE!!! She ended up loving and buying it. We checked out RR's new cosmetic line, their eyeshadows were VERY pigmented, at least the matte shades were! But.. we were really too tired to do anything else.. I guess you can say we were SHOPPED OUT.. pooped.. dead. LOL! So we decided to head over to our dinner spot, hoping the drive over and maybe the wait would make us hungry!

OK since I forgot my camera in the car.. I'm stealing pictures off of Sarah's blog to share with you guys. When Angie and Kristine post up theirs, you can bet yo sweet arses that I'm going to steal them from them too!!! EHEHEHEHE!!!

christian and I walking.. Sarah's stupid paparazzi shot!!!! My legs look so thick!! EWWW!!

So I don't look conceited with all pics of me in my blog, Sarah and Kristine!! OH HO HO! Kristine looks like the younger one!!!!

I had to put this in here, Angie looked TOO CUTE. Sarah blames me for the reaction.. and she might be right, but I don't remember.

Sarah dubbed this paler and pale. I call us, delicious and awesome ;D

ewww my bad side sarah!! lol at my baby hairs.

So I didn't believe that I was THAT pale when I saw the pictures.. I thought it was just the flash that was washing me out.. so.............. I did what any sane person would do, I took a picture of my arm to see what my skin color was. Ah...ha...ha... ha.. I guess I am that pale. I had a little bear, so you'll notice my face get lighter and lighter while my neck gets pinker. And I get happier. LOL.

My Spicy Jambalaya!!

Christian's Steak!

me and christian's mini chocolate Souffle!!

ENOUGH PAPARAZZI SHOTS SARAH!! Katie-secret-ninja-technique to avoid those shots.. *turn, blend in with surroundings*

HO HO HO!! BFF since HS, still going strong I say! Look Sarah! You're earrings! The light above me makes me look kinda.. sweet but evil at the same time. EHEHEHEHE! LOL I know Sarah, I can never take a normal picture with you, you bring out the devil in me ;) rawr! Face pale from alchy and neck is red!

me and angie!! and the bag I wanted!!!!!!!!! *steal* ... red neck.

OK since I talk about my bf and the car and crap a lot.. here's a pic of his car.... that he took with my camera... that I left in his car that night so he could upload pics from the meet on his computer.. but today when I got it back.. it had like... 40 + pictures of his goddamn car in it!!! YOU FRUIT CAKE CAMERA WHORE!!

My daddy's back from Taiwan like I said. He got me some perfume!! LOL!! He said he chose the scent out himself, just like the previous year he had gotten me the apple shaped perfume.. I Nina by Nina Ricci.. I don't use it very much.. it's just pretty to look at. It's too musky for my taste really. But THIS one.. omg....... it smells SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. Good job daddy!!!! You bought perfume from one of my fav brands! YAY!

Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet

It smells SOOOOOO DELICIOUS!! I looked it up online because it looks a little different from the ones I've seen at the Dior counter.. and it turns out it's an Asia exclusive version of the Miss Dior Cherie!! More subtle and light! Aww.. so if I run out, I'll just have to call my relatives!! EHEHEHE!! It has such a refreshing scent to it!!

Ok so for dinner tonight I made some Udon, another easy dish I frequently make because it's fast.

Fish cakes, Fish balls, Pork balls, I love my balls! LOL!! MM MMMM MMMMMM. Babe said it looks like something he'd see on a menu. HAHAHHAA awwww, how sweet!!

I'm going to cry later for posting this.. and I know anal people will maximize this picture to the fullest.. but here's me sans makeup. I took my second midterm today that I completely underestimated the difficulty of.. so now I'm tired.. without my face on. taaaadaaaa! ... oh man.. i wish i had at least penciled in my brows.. they look uneven... :(

OK that picture looks kinda awkward.. probably because I'm tilting my head. DON'T ACCIDENTLY USE YOUR MOTHER'S WHITENING FACE WASH IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOURS DURING THE WEEKENDS PEOPLE.. my face is now officially whiter than my neck... arghhh!

Paparazzi shot of my bf when he came back in from throwing the trash away! WHAT'S UP BABY? LOL!!

Someone tell me why he looks so feminine... just by walking.... ?

Ok so I was looking through my low end/drug store makeup stash today and was swatching some of the NYX shadows I had bought a while ago but never used.. (ha.. as with a lot of things).. and my NYX single in Aqua reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what, SOOO I popped open my high end makeup stash and looked through everything and FINALLY find it...

AMAZING DUPE NO????? One's just SLIGHLY lighter right?? With Flash

No Flash

NYX in Aqua versus Mac Tilt eyeshadow (right), no flash

with flash

Amazing isn't it? And in fact, I had to pack on Tilt to get that rich color that you see in the pan! I only swiped twice to reach that gorgeous blue from Aqua! Aqua is definitely more vibrant and while they aren't EXACT dupes, they are PRETTY DAMN CLOSE! Another one for you Sarah ehehehehe!

Ok my new face wash! I can't say much about it yet since I've only used it two times. It smells nice though, like a creamy-ish apple smell!

I hope it gets along with my face!! My face has been acting up due to my dumb trust in drug store foundation.. bad idea. I need to slap myself. I keep trying drug store foundations, keep getting reactions, keep trying again. When will I learn my lesson?!?!?!?!?! Yikes!! Anyway, hopefully this face wash will do SOMETHING for my face, unlike my old one which basically.. took off what little makeup my makeup remover missed (yup.. nothing else.. which is a safe bet I suppose?)

Much looooove!

Katie

EHEHEHEHEH

I bet you're wondering where this picture of poo that I stole off the internet has a place in this entry? Oh you will see.. soon enough.

Ok.. this isn't really an entry because I'm mucho busy right now but I WILL blog soon about our blogger meet up with Angie, Aquaracer, and Sarah! Too lazy to link to their sites right now.. oi vey! We discovered there IS a thing as too much shopping! :D but it was AMAZING to see the girls in person! By girls, I don't mean you Sarah, I see you in my dreams every night so it didn't seem like too long ago since I last saw you. ;D ho ho ho! Bet you girls never thought I'd be as loud and obnoxious as my posts suggest ehhhhh? .... EL... OH... EL... bf just looked over and saw what I typed and was all "loud? ALL THE TIME!! ALLLLL THEEEEEE TIMEEEEEEEE!!" with his vocal impression of how I sound.. which.. coming from him.. sounds like a mix of a gerbal and a turkey.. WTH???!?!?!?!

Ok so I just took a crap in the bathroom and came out with an exaggerated sigh of relief to signify that I... indeed.. took a crap to the boyfriend. I guess he didn't catch that and went straight for the bathroom to get some toilet paper.. and ran out saying "OMG IT STINKS IN HERE!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?? OMG.. YOU TOOK A CRAP DIDN'T YOU?!"

Yes, this is where that scat picture came into play. EHEHEHEHEHEH.

Later gators!

Katie

-edit-

due to the request from my honey.. I'm going to post up a picture.. of a poo snake.

oh god...

surfin the red tide

HAHAHAHA!! I know I know.. my title is REALLY gross.



I wanted to post up a picture of just a bottle of Aleve, my savior (next to dark chocolate) during my time of the month, when I came across THIS picture, which clearly represents me and my boyfriend. I prefer Aleve, he prefers Advil. Aleve PWNS Advil, therefore, I am greater than my boyfriend. Case closed. He's probably reading this right now and thinking I am retarded. Ohh... touche my friend.... touche.

In other news.. I, Katie Tsai, have once again become ill. Yes.. it's ok.. don't worry about me.. the doctors say it's ONLY fatal.. and perhaps.. there really is no cure..

for my LAZY-CRAPATITIS.

;( Fo' reallllllll.. I need to stop procrastinating so much, I'm going to send myself to an early grave!! So on Wednesday.. there were 5 projects due (papers that involve stupid crap you have to do to be more hands on and crapityy-crap-crap) and I've known this sinnnnnce.. the start of this quarter but do I get a head start on it? Nope! The day that it's due (it was due by 9 PM online submit)... that's when I started it. Man I had such a cramp in my wrists after working at it for so long... T.T but I deserve it. No shame.. I have no shame! LOL! Ok.. I'm going to buckle down for the midterm I have on Monday though. Must succeed! Ahem.. if anyone cares.. I just checked my grades online for the assignments and I only got docked half a point for god knows what reason.. good enough for me though! :) HEEEEEEEEEEHEHE... bf is usually amazed at how I go through college life.

I made some DELICIOUS udon on.. either Monday or Sunday.. and it LOOKED good too.. sadly.. I was sooo hungry, I ate all of mine before I remembered to take a picture. POOPS.

So yesterday bf was complaining about how he missed me REALLY cooking.. like he loves my soba, curry, udon, noodle soups, pastas and all.. but he loves it when I really cook meats and other dishes you know? POOR HIM, I don't stock the fridge up with lots of supplies that are usually needed for those dishes.. but he looked so cute when he was taking a nap that I decided to surprise him with some fried rice!

Fish cake, corn, spam, onions (mm MM MMMMM)
My un-conventional fried rice but oh so delicious and fast.


This is how college people live. You cook with what you got. LOL. Who the fuck wants to drive out in LA to the grocery store around dinner time? HELLS NO unless you have a death wish or some obscene love of TRAFFIC. The closest place to me is Ralphs, which is like.. two streets over.. and just GOING THERE usually takes me like 5 minutes.. but any time past 5 PM.. it's hell. I'd probably get there in 20 minutes.. spend 15 minutes looking for parking.. then take another 20 minutes just to get back to my apartment. I could walk.. but that's considered Culver City which is.. very unsafe at night.

Anywhos I had to go to CVS for some Q-tips and to check out some eyeliner. I went for the eyeliner first and they were completely sold out of Black! *sob* so BF offered to drive to Walgreens... awww!!! Usually he's against going to multiple stores but he was being strangely cooperative today. So we went to Walgreens, where I picked up Q-tips, another Dream Matte compact as a back up since it was Maybelline's buy one get one half off! So I also got the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind compact foundie to try... it's too light.. I'm exchanging it tomorrow. Then I got Revlon Colorstay auto-eyeliner pencil and Revlon Colorstay liquid liner. I'm on a mission to find better eyeliners!! Also got maybelline mineral concealer... I love my instant age rewind concealer one as a quick touch up one when I accidently leave my MUFE concealer at home.. so I'm hoping this one lives up the instant age rewind.. since the whole two in one thing kinda sucks because you don't get much product there.. runs out pretty fast you know? MUFE is lasting me FO-EVAAAAAA though! YAY!! I walked by the Wet N Wild section and was just skimming through when I saw this GORGEOUS PURPLE COLORED EYESHADOW THAT I'VE NEEEEVER SEEN BEFORE!! It's called Goddess if you guys want to check it out, apparently it's a new color since there was a "new" sticker on it.. lol. Then I was walking up to the register when I saw these SALE stickers all over the Jane products. All their shit was half off!! OOOOOOO.. that caught my eye. I wasn't really going to buy anything but then I saw this palette and it was only $4.50 or something like that because of the discount!! It's supposed to be like $11 or something normally. *snatch*

Can you guys tell I'm VERY into drug store make up as much as I am into high end make up? I like drug store make up because if I don't like it, I just toss it and won't cry over the price tag.

Anywhos.. I was still bummed that I didn't find the eyeliner I was looking for.. so BF offered to take me to another CVS... yay!!!! We went.. no eyeliner.. but I was like.. WHAT THE FRUIT CAKE? HERE.. for maybelline.. it was buy one get one FREE. HUH?? Jerks.. and I had already bought maybelline shit earlier.. oh well. I grabbed a lippie called In the Nude and the free one, Sand. Thennn I strolled over to Revlon for a color that I wanted to check out.. which of course is sold out as is everything I ever want to check out.. but I see Champaigne on Ice.. which looked pretty so I snatched that. Walked over to NYC to check out their eyeliners.. snatched Pink Ice lipgloss instead.

OMG! I have a story. As always. Ha.

While at the last CVS store.. bf didn't want to watch me browse through make up so he said he was going to head over to the magazines, which was fineeee by me. Nobody to rush me you know? So while I was looking through Maybelline.. this thuggish mexican guy appears in my field of vision towards the right. No biggie. So when I finish with Maybelline, I strolled on down to Revlon towards the left right? He's slinkering towards my way. I still didn't think it was a big deal.. even though he appeared to be checking out... yes.. make.. up.. anyways. So I finished with that, and retraced my steps to go towards NYC right? He makes a U-turn and disappears. Strange no? So after NYC.. I went towards the back of the store again to the lotion isle since my cousin stole my bottle of lotion from my apartment a while back and I've had dry skin lately! While I'm looking at the bottles I notice the mexican guy coming back towards me but I just thought I was being paranoid so I squat down to look at the lotion on the bottom shelf. While squatting, I saw the mexican guy's feet appear towards my left when he turned into my isle. He was there for a while and when I finally decided on my lotion and got up he left the same way he came pretty fast. I was watching him from the corner of my eyes so I know he wasn't even LOOKING at anything on the shelves.. you fucking sick bastard. I went over towards the front of the store to the facial cleansers part to find some pore strips for my nose and once again, squat down because they just had to put them all on the bottom shelf with so many selections and I couldn't find the Ultra strength biore strips at first (some idiot put the a regular one in front of the row of ultras)!! So while I was trying to find it before I squatted down, I noticed the mexican guy walking around the place that I USED to be at, looking around, and I guess he saw me and looked away. I was like.. WHATEVER.. so then I squatted down, looked for my strips, got up, turned around and THERE'S THE MEXICAN DUDE. ummm... I just walked away REALLY quickly to find my bf so we could get out of there. He wanted some chips though so we went to the other side of the store, chose some, then went to the registers and these two guys each carrying a case of beer got in line before us. They set the beer cases on top of each other and the bigger one sat down. Guess who. YEA STALKER CREEPY GUY. He turns around, sees me standing there and turned away really fast, said something in spanish to his smaller friend, who then just decides to STARE AT ME while I'm standing there. HOW FUCKING CREEPY CAN YOU GET?!?!?!?!??!? I didn't say a word to the bf just to see if he noticed anything weird because I didn't wanna sound all paranoid and shit you know? I've been pretty tired lately so I could just be overly sensitive.

Obviously, not the case here because when we were leaving, the bf asked if I noticed the two mexicans in front of us kept staring at me. THEN I told him how the one sitting down seemed like he was stalking me when I was looking for my make up. *shudders*

Total haul.


Maybelline In The Nude, Maybelline Sand, Revlon Champaigne on Ice


NYC Pink Ice (doesn't show up well on hand lol, pretty on lips!)


Wet N Wild in Goddess.... dude.. totally Mac Parfait Amour DUPE.. a lot more pigmented than Mac actually.. and this is WITHOUT A BASE because I was too lazy to spread it just for one eyeshadow. AMAZING RIGHT? I love dupes. Too bad I already have Parfait Amour... AHAHAHAHAH!! Sarah Izumi Sakamoto! Treasure this information! Go get it! :)


The Jane Palette.. a good deal I say!


With Painterly Paint Pot as base. I used to use Brownie Points way back when to shade in my brows. Beautiful brown I tell you.


Ok that's all I got for now!

Daddy's back from his trip to China and Taiwan!! That means ....... LOTS AND LOTS OF FENG LI SU FOR MEEEEEEE!!!! I'm very picky about the types of feng li su that I eat.. my favorite comes from a certain bakery in Taiwan. hubba hubba!!!!!!

Katie

ps- I'll do a review on the two revlon eyeliners when I get a chance. I've tested them on my hand and WOAHHHH new favorites, especially the auto-pencil.

oh friggin jizz nuggets

So I get an email alert from Sarah about how she left me a comment.

Then I get an email alert from Angie about how she left me a comment.

Tick tick.. tick.. tick.. PING!!!!! TAI HAO LE!!! It totally reminded me of what I THOUGHT was missing from my entry(s...)!!!!!

Ok, so as some might know, Angie is coming to LA in 2 weeks! Me and Sarah are going to hang out with her so we were thinking about what we might want to do. I'd already decided to take Angie to Red Mango (if not, then Ces Fiore, fuck Pinkberry and their mocchi-less menu) and to the Amore store in Rowland! Umm.. people tell me Pinkberry has mocchi but I've been to 4 different Pinkberries and none have had mocchi as far as I know.

ANyways! We were trying to figure out what else to do.. when sarah wonders about dinner. Sadly.. I lost half the texts when my phone froze (a shitty defect of blackberries apparently).. so I'll tell you BASICALLY what we said. Correct me if I'm wrong Izu!! I have a love/hate relationship with my phone!

(Sarah asks me what I think we should do for dinner)
Me: How about... we take Angie fishing in the lake at Yorba Linda! We can start a campfire, cook the fish, and pretend that we're camping!!!

(Sarah totally ignores my suggestion and says something else, can't remember what)
Me: ....... :( you have something against my fishes don't you.

Sarah: Ewww I'm not eating those fish. I don't even want to know what's in that lake.

Me: I hear radioactive sewage raised fish does wonders for our skin complexion tho!

Sarah: Ya right. Angie said she likes Italian

Me: I like Italian too!! Ok, we can toss some Oregano and Basil with the fish. Tadaaa! Italian fish.

Sarah: .... why don't you ask Angie if she likes your idea

Me: :) As dedicated beauty bloggers, it is our duty to try new things!! For the sake of beauty!!!! On guard!!!

Sarah: Touche? (then something else I forgot.. lost text)

Me: Shepherds pie!!

Sarah: ... shepherds pie?

:) Well Angie? What do you think? This is what you emailed me about!! Am I brilliant or what? HEHEHEHE!!!!

Katie

Ok so I'm halfway through the tub now and it's been aboutttttttt.. a month? I don't remember but close to that! Safe for me to talk about now!


COST:
$30 from a rep, but you can find it for more than half that on Ebay or other googled beauty site! I got mine for $10!

ITEM:
Mary Kay Oil-Free Hydrating Gel (Normal/Oily Skin)

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
It's a light purple gel but once on your fingers or on your face, it's completely clear. It's not sticky at all and smooths on very nicely! It feels VERY light and YES it's hydrating enough because I've noticed some dry/red spots I got from my old moisturizer have gone away!! My skin feels soooo fresh after using this!! There isn't really a smell except a little plasticy from the container I guess but no REAL destinctive smell.

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
ME LOOOOOOVE. I'm not switching moisturizers after this. HG for me... for now. LOL!! I moisturize in the morning before school and at night before bed!

PROS:
- cute tub! Light purple!!
- very hydrating without being too heavy!!
- no break outs at all!!
- not sticky, no fuss!

CONS:
- no spf
- doesn't add to or take away from oil control (wish it dealt with that)

Alriiiiiiiighty then.. I think this is from last Friday. I wanted to do a light purple look.. it didn't come out as purpley as I wanted it to be but good enough for me.

Eyes closed. You can see my eyeliner booboo on the left eye.. remember to let your eyeliner dry FIRST! l...o...l...

I am a picture-swiper!

Sarah recently posted up some pics and while I was scrolling through them.. I found THIS one.. it's just sooo pretty that I had to swipe it and put it on my phone!



It's SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE!! I'm no photographer so I can't tell you what constitutes as a good picture but I know my eyes LOVVVVVVED it!

MmMMMMM my fav ice cream in a carton.


Funny story about this ice cream. Stephen Colbert talked about it on his show (if you don't watch it, you suck) as he does with many of his random ideas (most made up... such as personalized ketchup bottles) and Ben and Jerry's actually decided to USE his idea and create his dream ice cream!! I remember walking by it the first time at Ralphs and going... WAHHHHHHT???

:) me love chocolate covered waffle cone pieces. Actually.. I love waffle cones in general, especially the chocolate covered ones with sprinkles. I have no shame. I usually go into Baskin Robins or Cold Stones and just buy the waffle cone (or in cold stone's case, the waffle cup).. yup. That's it. By itself. :) YUMMMMMMM!!!!! I'm not weird. I'm just picky.

Went grocery shopping with my mom and lil sister this past weekend, since it was Easter my lil sis had the day off from work. We were browsing a little beauty shop at 99 in Rowland and my lil sis found this headband on the wall. I found this other one that i FORGOT to take a picture of.. so yaaa.. you'll have to picture my pictureless headband. I thought her headband was so cute I decided to get the same one! LOL, matching headbands! Actually.. we have a lot of things that are similar, just in different sizings. Remember my cognac colored Steve madden boots? She just ordered them in her size. Remember how I had wanted the dark brown suede color in my boots because she had first bought them but they were out of my size so I bought the cognac instead? Ya I just ordered them. LOL!!!!!!!! If only we were the same size.. we would share and save money. Althoughhhhhhh.... I've never liked sharing.


Oh happy day when you go check the mail and find a package!! It's my small haul from Wet Seal, they were having a buy one item, get the second 50% off.... plus I had my membership card which gave me another 10% off the total.. plus I found a code online that gave me $10 off my over $50 purchase! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!! The total came to $79 for everything.

Ok.. I think I promised a review for my moisturizer, so that's up next!

-update-

Ok just looked at my previous entry and HEY! I did pretty well!! LOL! Umm.. I completely forgot where my babe's new sleeping spot is.. so I can't give you that.

Besides this haul I'm still waiting on the boots.

Umm.. OH story about my car. I took my car in for it's oil change.. and decided to just do the whole 60,000 mile maintance shit.. so all in all it cost me $500 basically.. 429 for the servicing and 100 something for "parts" aka.. the fluids they replaced and all that stupid shit.. UGHHH RIP OFF MUCH. I told them my car's making weird noises too... like... when I'm driving, it's all.. METAL ON METAL GRINDING sound.. but when I brake, it goes away. So they check my car and JUST SAY that my rear brakes have worn through and the metal is showing. I'm like.. ok that's it? Are you sure? They say ya.. that's it.. and wanted to charge me $200 JUUUUUST for the brake PADS.. not including the service charge they were gonna add to that. So I'm like.. fuck it, my car brakes just fine for now since it's front-wheel drive, so I told them I'd hold off on it. They said it was fine.

The next day, me and bubby go to Pep Boys in West Covina to get brake pads (they install them too).. and guess what.. only $36 per pad which includes installation! Fuck you dealership.

Oh and I told them about the noises too and they're like wth? So they said they'd check my rotors too.. so off me and babe go to explore our surroundings because they were backed up and it would take a while (so they said).. and about less than an hour later, they call my cell, tell me my rotors were worn SO THIN that they wouldn't be able to take them off without breaking them. What... the.... I said fine. $106 total for them both which is a LOT cheaper than what I'd get them for at the dealership. PLUS.. WTF DEALERSHIP???? Shouldn't they have told me about that? I just paid them $500 to do a 360 look at my car to make sure everything was ok and they didn't tell me about my rotors??? Bubby thinks they were just waiting for them to break so I'd have to pay a huuuuge amount of money for a much larger repair. UGH. So in the end, I paid about $211 at Pep boys for both brake pads, both rotors, plus the free service.

Oh and the guy said that since they were backed up, it my car would be out of there by closing time. We got there at 3:30 pm.. and closing was 7 PM.. AHHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!! Talked to him some more and he said he'd put it up next in line then. My car was actually done in an hour and 35 minutes!!! YAYYYYY!!! Thank god I didn't have to wait that long.

My convo with him was really funny too. He got a text from his gf and he was all "ahh.. trippin" and I asked if it was a customer who was trippin and he said, no, his gf, that he's been dating for like.. 2 weeks. Their age diff is the same as me and bubby's but this is where it's funny. His gf is one of his oldest best friend's LITTLE sister.. and her family loves him and knows about THEM.. but his best friend doesn't. But he reasoned that it was OK since a few years ago, his best friend had went out with HIS little sister, except HE did know about it.

ehehehe.. good luck with that one buddy.
