:) my new boyfriend/love

So anyways.. this post will NOT be makeup related at all. In fact, it's more of an announcement. I've been keeping it hush hush on my twitter/facebook for a few days, simply because it's one of those things that I don't want to jinx.. since you know.. it was so early in the game.. I mean it still is.. but I feel more comfortable with everything now. Yes I said he. I've actually recently started tweeting about him a lot and officially changed my facebook status. LOLS, because that's just how our generation is now right? Nothing's official until you change your facebook status.

If you break up it doesn't mean anything. But if you change your fb status to single/divorced, it's like.. OMFG earth shattering shit, as if that's IT, there's no more chance of getting back together! hahahahah! Silly I know. But that's just how society is now.

Anyways. I suppose I'll just start at the beginning?

:) His name is Eric. Obviously I won't put his last name down. He's 21, I'm 22. He's never dated someone older and I've never dated someone younger, so it all works out. HAHAHHHA! We met at a mutual friend of a friend's birthday party in Beverly Hills, oh shit. I just realized I haven't uploaded those pictures up yet as well. Damn I'm really bad at updating this blog. Anyways, I'll give you MY point of view on how we met and then HIS point of view, which I know because I asked him. :p

him and his bike

so proud of him! USC grad with honors this year!!

My POV

I was originally NOT going to go to the party. I was in my pajamas and ready to SLEEP. My sister kept insisting I go and trying to pressure me into it.. and finally when they were about to leave, I caved and told them to wait a few minutes while I got ready (was not looking my best hahahahaha) so we drove there, we saw some cops parked outside their house and were really close to just turning around and leaving.. but we called the bday boy and he said it was fine. SO.... Walked in the door, said HI to everyone, saw him going over to grab something from the fridge. I don't know why he stood out to me.. it could be because he's 6'1 and everyone else was 5'7-5'11. He disappeared and I didn't think much of it. After meeting and greeting me and my duo of girls went outside to hang out where it was less stuffy. We sat down at a porch round table with some other people, I recognized him as the guy I first saw when I came in. He didn't talk to me at all. LOLS. So after a while I wanted to go to the pool room to play billiards, he followed. My sis asked me if I saw anyone there I thought was hot. I MISHEARD HER and thought she said "do you see anyone who might be interested in you?" so I pointed to Eric and said "he is". mistake. lols. SOOOO... Multiple times my sister tried to play cupid. After a round I left the room, kind of creeped out by him. He persisted in trying to talk to me. Eventually his gentlemanly ways got me to give him my number. I wasn't planning on ever picking up his call.. but a few days later I was forced by my little sister to call him and invite him to go clubbing with us at Opera. Surprisingly he agreed and that was the mark of our first date. I was hesitant because our first encounter had like.. ZERO CHEMISTRY.. but right when I saw him at my door, I got mad butterflies and that was the start of the most explosive chemistry I've ever felt with anyone in my life.

when we first met

His POV

He said he was at home in his pajamas ready to sleep as well since his mom was visiting from Asia that week and he was tired from taking her around the city. His roommate kept begging him to go with her for emotional support due to ahem... certain man issues that would be present at the party... he kept refusing but in the end he didn't understand why but he magically changed his mind right when she was about to leave. He was there before I was, so he said he didn't notice me when I first noticed him when he was getting something from the fridge.. but when he was sitting outside with his friends at the porch round table, he was tempted to just leave. Then I came down through the sliding doors with my two friends and ACCORDING TO HIM, he turned to his roommate and said "WOW.. I know what I'm going to be doing the rest of tonight" his roommate was like "wth are you talking about?" and he said "I'm going to try and talk to her... she looks out of my league but it doesn't hurt to try." So.. he did. BUT.. my sister came up to him multiple times trying to play cupid because she's evil like that. He started feeling weirded out about it and was honestly about to NOT talk to me at all just to get back at her for making him uncomfortable. But according to him, the more he tried talking to me, the more he forgot about how weird my sis was being and just wanted to get to know me. At first he thought I'd be a snobby, stuck up, over confident person but was amazed I was so laidback and easy to talk to. THIS IS ALL ACCORDING TO HIM. Almost word for word.

so..

at the club

after our first date.. we spent all of the next day talking, from 7:30Am till the next night. In fact, we spent all 3 days together.. and after that it seemed as if we've known each other all our lives. it's strange, it's weird, it's unbelievable but I'm not being some weird psycho bitch, these are feelings I've kept inside that HE confirmed by voicing them out. After only knowing each other for 11 days.. he asked me to be his girlfriend. He had an amazing date planned out the day he asked me.. and he almost didn't ask me (he was scared I'd think we were moving too fast or that he'd scare me away) so I said YES on JUNE FIRST. LOLS!! Easiest date to remember~

at JJ Lin concert at AHMAP

We've only been dating.. umm.. 24 days today, and only official 13 days.. but he says I know more about him than his parents and when we're together, everything is so natural. Our conversations never trail off to silence, the topics never seem forced, our connection is just so smooth and alive. I was scared this would just be a small infatuation that will die after the first month or after he asks me to be his girlfriend.. and it really could still be that.. but judging by how things are going, this spark is waterproof. It's almost like.. every day we see each other our connection grows and grows, the intensity very constant.

I've NEVER felt this way before. EVER. It's like.. from those stories you read about people finding THE ONE and just knowing? Yea.. like that. We just.. know. As crazy as that sounds.

hahaha I sound like a cheesy idjit in love I suppose? That's not a bad thing. :) I'm just simply happy. Contentedly happy. Elated happy. The type of happy you can't just wipe away with little effort. The questionable happiness that comes with new relations that you think will die once the newness of it all fades, but doesn't, and your stuck thinking you're in a dream type of happiness. Yea, that.

:)

*sighhh* SERIOUS lemming, and a lil about myself

-edit-
*sigh* as much as I love this list.. I'm going to stick to my normal hobos, :) I'll just put these on my Xmas wish list TEEHEE!! I think I'll learn more towards the Jimmy Choos, the Miu Mius, or the Michael Kors because those bags are more WEAR-ABLE.. I've seen some people carrying around those monogram purses such as Gucci, and they don't always match what they're wearing.. which is a big no no for me. I like my shit to be able to go with EVERYTHING I got. *sigh again* .... I need to invest in some sleeping pills. I'm having such a hard time sleeping lately.. it's not that I'm stressed or doing anything, but I just CAN'T shut my brain off while in bed. It's getting annoying.. and I've been getting headaches too..
-end edit-


Being the little bored child that I am, I was surfing the net for a new purse because the one I use is starting to get sorta worn (it's been through so much!!).

I generally stay away from expensive purses because I'm always too afraid of getting them dirrrrty you know? I'm QUITE the opposite of my little sister, she owns a new designer handbag (anywhere from 400-1000 bucks) every 2 months. However, we do share the same tastes in bags which is a plus if I ever want to borrow one. My mom's just as bad as my sister, if not worse. She has so many Dior, Coach, Fendi, Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, and Miu Miu bags that my head spins whenever I see them. Seriously though, I only like Gucci, Dior, and Miu Miu out of all those brands. Well.. Miu Miu is actually a branched off version of Prada..

:) BUT.. I've got some money from my birthday and I've been thinking that maybe I should just splurge on one! I currently own 2 designer bags, one was a gift and the other I bought but mm.. I don't really use it (the juicy couture one from Vegas). I'm TOTALLY LEMMING for a new purse now!! To save.. to splurge.. that is the question. So far this is a list of purses that I want!

Ok you're obviously going to see that I'm an avid LOVER of Gucci, Miu Miu, Michael Kors, and Jimmy Choo!! The only things that I'm willing to shell out money for are shoes, makeup, and electronics. My mom would love if I got into purses (she doesn't know I already have an eye for them) but my dad would cry! EHHEHEHE!!

Ok so my most FAVORITE AND ULTIMATE LEMMING is the very last picture.. save the best for last no? ;)

Gucci classic $630, 2 of my aunts have this and it's SOOOOOOO cute!! A lot more room than what it looks like!

Gucci new spring $730, same as above but it's the new Spring print with hearts! Super fucking cute if you ask me!

Gucci classic $750, such a cute every day bag isn't it!?!


Gucci classic $2250 *drool* I WANT I WANT!!

Jimmy Choo $2195, I've been diggin patent leather lately



Jimmy Choo $2450, I've never owned a suede purse before!!


Miu Miu $1095 (old).... GOD I LOVE MIU MIU


Miu Miu $2000 *sigh*


Miu Miu under $1000, not sure of the price! But it's LOOOOOOOOVE!


Marc Jacobs $498, nice and plain!


Michael Kors $498 ISN'T IT SEXY???



Now the best...................

Gucci $1595


I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS BAG!! Ok, I did not discover this myself. My old co-worker Kristina Pham had gotten this as a gift from her (now ex) boyfriend and his family!! IT'S SOOOOOOOOO GORGEOUS LOOKING!! It can fit like... EVERYTHING in it and ... AHHH!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I could've sworn I had a picture of a Dior purse.. oh well.

--ABOUT ME--

Ok so for those who know me, you'll PROBABLY know this already. But it's a bigger explaination for those who don't. Let's talk about money.

I know for some who first see my blog, you're all like.. "OMG WTH where's all your money coming from?" because of my hauls (i think they're little but yea..) and maybe from the few trips I've posted up (more on myspace and my actual laptop not posted yet though). I'm not doing this to rub money in your face, that's not how I am, I just want you to get to know me more, to understand me more. If that leaves a bad impression then I'm sorry, I truly am.

Let's talk relatives. My grandfather, now deceased (rip), was someone I had always been closest to. He had always wished I was born a son, a "son of the dragon" as he'd always say, but he spoiled me ROTTEN nontheless. He taught me how to fly a kite and always used to carry me on his shoulders (he was a tall one I tell you!) and always took me on his motorcycle for fun rides no matter how busy he was with work. He owned a major part of the public transportation system in Taiwan, based in the Taichung and Taitung, but it runs to all the major cities in Taiwan, including the capital of Taipei. Chances are, if you've ever visited Taiwan or you're a native, you've ridden our buses. I don't think I need to post the name because I don't get much readers from Taiwan here anyway. He also owned quite a few acres of land and 2 houses, one in Taitung, and one near Sogo Mall, ahahaha, yes, I said Sogo! A lot of people fought for the house there after he died (seriously.. how rude) but he was pretty specific in his will that he was leaving it for my dad until me and my sister come of age.

OMG story about that. My dad's older sister was pissed because SHE wanted the house, because come on.. it's worth A LOT since it's located right across from Sogo. She tried to get my grandpa to change the will while he was DYING.. and was saying stuff like "oh, Stanley doesn't deserve it. He lives in the US and he's never here, I have 3 children while he only has 2, I deserve it, blah blah blah" but my grandpa wouldn't change it and so she went to my grandma and convinced her to let her and her children stay at that house for a short while. Well.. grandpa passed away, and my father told her she had to move out but she refused and demanded that he sign over the deed of the house to her. My father refused and she threw a HISSY FIT over the house!! My dad wanted to clean up the house and rent it out so that at least someone was using it and he'd be giving the rent money to his mom for her own personal uses now that she was widowed and because she doesn't work. Well.. his sister just became even more psycho and started spreading rumors that he was being selfish and this and that. My dad got so sick of how she was acting so he signed his part of the deed, and even said to her face that in his eyes, he doesn't have an older sister anymore (aka.. kinda disowned her if he could actually do that) and my mom had to co-sign it because she was his spouse.. HOWEVER.. my mom got so angry that my dad's sister was acting like such a fool, she refuses to sign it even to this day. She's leaving it up to me to deal with her.. great mom great. LOL. My grandpa also left the future of his company to my dad along with all his property but since my dad can't be in Taiwan 24/7 (he goes back for a month once every year), he runs it jointly with his second youngest brother (who looks like his twin, but shorter). Dad said to brush up on my Chinese because he's leaving all he inherited to me because he doesn't want the government to take over the business, along with it's stock holdings. I'll worry about that later on after a decade or so. LOL. My fathers side of the family are very stingy and advocate good education, so almost all the guys are doctors in Taiwan now and the girls (including my cousins) are nurses and secretaries.

My mom's side................... I'll have to dedicate a whole other post about that next time, it's not a happy story, especially lately. It's not a sob story either, it's just an eye opener that actually taught me something, and I want to spread that. It's the type of shit that you THINK only happens in the movies but no, it's real, as real as the fact that there are still members of the KKK in our modern day society.

People raise their eyebrows when I say that my parents own a golf store. They're involved in wholesale and retail. A majority of their money actually come from their international business, they constantly import and export shipments to lots of retail stores in Korea, China, Japan, and India. I grew up playing golf, obviously, which is a good thing I suppose, it's known as the sport of business. They said they'd leave it up to me and my little sister to decide whether or not we wanted to sell the business in the future, but obviously they want us to continue it. That's... a little difficult because my sis wants to become a dentist, she's obsessed with teeth! Me? As the oldest, I'm stuck with the family responsibilities.. so I'm forced to obtain an MBA.

My mom handles the actual business and the finances (VERY well might I add) and my dad is more the FACE of the business.. he draws in more customers and reps from companies. Daddy loves to play in golf tournaments, both for money and for fame. There isn't a single golfer around that doesn't know my father's name because he's actually considered a scratch player, his handicap is in the negative numbers, and for those who don't golf, the higher your handicap is, the worse you're considered at playing. It's hard be a negative. I'm so proud of my daddy!! Because of his tournaments, he's taken us to places like Mexico, Hawaii, etc! He went to Germany too but I couldn't go, I had school. :(

-.- Dad's main income is actually from bets and wagers among his customers and friends. On average, if he plays 2 times a week, he rakes in 3-4 thousand dollars a week. Sheesh. He never guys me anything!!

Ok I'm done with typing.

Sorry if it's so long!

Katie

ps- if you find it useless, oh well! My blog, not yours! I actually discovered it doesn't answer anything but whatevers, I wanted to share my family with you guys
