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

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! :)
