va va voom!

I feel really bad. A lot of you girls comment on my entries, and I do read them, but only through email notifications, so then when I go to log into blogger to comment back to your sweet faces, I suddenly get really lazy! :( sowwie sowwie! 

Soo I just popped in here to show you girls what I made for dinner last night! You're not going to believe this.. but uhh.. I remembered this cooking manga that I used to read and it had obscurely described what is called a Neopolitan pasta. I vaguely remembered what was pictured and decided HEY!!! Sounds delish, let's do this! Of course.. I didn't remember much so when I was at Ralph's buying groceries.. I kinda just grabbed whatever I thought would taste good. I've never had a neopolitan spaghetti before so I wasn't even sure what it was supposed to look like or taste like. HEHEHEHEHHE???? Inspired by a manga.. I sound so nerdy. 

It turned out so well though!! I googled neoplitan spaghetti just now and it looks NOTHING like what I made.. and the recipe is completely off compared to what I used so I guess I can't really call it a neopolitan pasta.. let's call it.. the KASTA!! :) Give you a penny if you can tell why.


YUMMMM it turned out soooo good. BF says he actually HATES regular spaghetti so when I told him I was making  this he was like.. oh.. eww.. uhh.. sure. LOL! He ended up INHALING it before I was done with half my plate!!!! To ensure meat loving men will like this, I put in chopped up bacon, sliced mini hot sausages, and tuscan style shrimp. To make sure he gets his veggies too, I made sure there was the same amount of veggies as meat in there as well, just more thinly chopped and cooked so well that it's soft and the flavors aren't too strong. I find it's easier to get my bf to eat what he CLAIMS he doesn't like by making sure it's harder for him to notice it's in there. What is said veggies? Red bell peppers and yellow onions, tons and tons of them. PUWAHAHAHAHHAHA! 

Dunno if anyone's going to even try their luck making this (i was lucky it turned out good!) so if you want the recipe just comment or email me! Nothing's definite so feel free to substitute and change things around! This is definitely a successful concoction of mine! 

:) BF made me smile when he kept going "mmmm.. oh.. man.. mmm.. this taste a lot better than stuff from the restaurants.. like Olive Garden and shit.. mmmmm"

Just yesterday I ordered THIS online!


:) I can't wait to get it! I think it's been discontinued.. since I couldn't find it on the Nordstroms or Sephora websites.. how sad..

OH! My skin has NOT been behaving lately so I completely scrapped my old day time and nightly skin care routine. It wasn't really doing much for me anyway. I've only been on my new routine for 2 days but so far, no adverse reactions! If it all works out, I'll let you girls know how, what, etc. 

HMM.. I'm wondering what foundation to bring to Japan. I know it's going to be hot and humid.. any ideas girls? I'm thinking I'll just bring my Revlon Colorstay in combo/oily formula as it might hold up in that weather.... or my Silk Naturals mineral foundie as it'll allow my skin to feel less makeup-y. Then again, I think SN breaks me out a little.. I don't remember!! 

Ok, time to make lunch. BF is getting whiney. 

Any of you girls know where exactly in Shibuya I can purchase cosmetics from Kate and the like? :) It'd be very helpful!

I'm not forgetful, I just like to waste time walking.

Ok.. let me tell you what's going to be in this entry because it's a mix of lots of things. HAHAHA my entries can never be short can they? To be honest.. you can blame that on my cousin. I have no cable here in my apartment because it cuts down costs and we wouldn't get distracted from our studies. RAWR! I miss my CSI Las Vegas! WTF is up with CSI New York? I'd pay NOT to have cable just to keep myself from watching that show. YUCK! 

Ok sorry, off topic no? This entry will be about what I use in my daily skin regimen! My recent haul from MAC's Suite Array collection (plus other stuff)! The story of how I get lost very easily! The recipe for the "quick college student not good for you but so good food".. ok when you see the picture it's a no brainer but I've just been too lazy to cook ANYTHING. I'll get up to do it.. but then I change my mind and opt for something quick. Alright bitches, let's get this thing goin! It's not going to be in any specific order.

Oh, and a big HELLO to my new frequent readers! I noticed I've been getting some page hits! I'm glad you guys like my stuff! 


-Skin Regimen-

1. Make up remover: Mandom Cleansing Lotion Moist

I love this thing SOOOOOOO much ever since I got it when I saw it on Anne's and Pink's blog. It's only 11 bucks and it really gets the job done. Smell nice and there's no oily residue which is one thing I HATE about make up removers. No break outs either!

2. Face wash: Softymo Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam
I've gone through one tube of this and I have another in my drawer. It's pretty good and does a good job of making my face feel squeaky clean. It's not that whole "super dry" feel but you KNOW your face is clean. It was only 6 bucks and I love cleansers that foam. I hate the oils and gel type. I had also gotten it because it was awarded the Taiwanese beauty award in 2006 from some magazine. No break outs yet! WOOHOO!! 

3. Toner: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel
I used to use Nivea and while that was ok, this was just better. I love the smell of roses too. This is 10 bucks and it even has aloe vera in it! So if I have a sun burned face, I suppose it wouldn't kill me to still tone it.. although I never get burned on my face. LOL. As you can see, I'll need to get a new bottle soon. Oh.. but the packaging kinda sucks. The cap on top doesn't hold the liquid in well and tends to leak if it's on it's side or something. I'm not sure if it's just THIS bottle.. or if they're all just poorly made.. but be careful as you'll lose a lot of the product.

4. Moisturizer: Chanel Precision Hydramax + Active Cream
LOVE THIS LITTLE BITCH TO DEATH! Ok, don't have a heart attack over the price.. of 65 bucks. I know I know, how could I spend so much on LOTION FOR MY FACE? I love the scent.. it's a fresh scent, nothing too strong. It hydrates my skin without making me oily or breaking me out. I used to use drug store moisturizers.. but I got so many blackheads and clogged pores from them! Break outs, you name it! I've tried a lotta things.. Cetaphil, Earth Science, Nivea, etc etc.. they just didn't agree with my face. This stuff is awesome and I'm sticking to it!

5. Acne fighter: Clean and Clear Invisible Blemish Treatment
My cousin introduced me to this like 2 years ago. On those rare occasions where I have a small bump or two, mostly from my period (ladies can agree!), this is the little darling that stays in my purse. It's like 6 bucks and lasts forever because you only need a little bit for your pimple! LOVE IT. Better than Origin's blemish fighter.. that shit stung too.

So there you have it. That's how I keep my face alivvvvvve.

-Haul-

My recent haul. PSP Lite with 8GB, Dior eyeshadow duo, more perfume, Mac eyeshadows, 227 Brush.

Top to bottom: Smoke & Ash, Shallow v. Deep, Counterparts, Blue Zone

my Felicia Blue psp imported from Japan

Ok I know I've mentioned the blue psp before, but I haven't really gotten a chance to play with it yet. I got it a week ago but my boyfriend had it for a few days to put games on it for me. Visually, it's a lot crazier than my DS light.. but I like my DS lite better right now. 

-The Food-

TADAAAAAA!!!

Ok ok before you get all "that's SO instant noodle!" on my ass, I'm going to say you're right. But the only thing I used was the actually dry noodle.. I threw everything else away. I'll show how I made it later because I'm making it again tonight (no food in apt, I'm too lazy to go grocery shopping)

Oh and my boyfriend is such a fag! He's just ASKING TO GET KICKED IN THE NUTS! Imagine trying to change so you can go out to dinner but he says OH LET ME SEE YOUR CAMERA.. sees the picture of my makeup junk (obviously) and then starts snapping pics of me CHANGING MY CLOTHES! WHAT A PERV! Little punk ass kept saying "oooo! That's going into the car forums!" or "ahhh! I feel artistic! Nudes!"..... friggin cum guzzler! 

When I snatched it away. I look like the girl from the ring when she comes out of the tv.. only with nicely dyed hair and no pants. 

oooooooh. ahhhhhhh! Don't you just hate it when you can't blog about something? It's killing me! I'll get in so much trouble if I keep typing. It sucks when there are people who snoop around just looking for trouble because they're BORED! :( hmph. They rob me of my blogging freedom. That's ok, I'll just gossip with my friends. It'll be great. ;]
