New Years Eve dress!

.... I wish I could find the dresses online but I can't, so no pics! -.- And I'm not modeling them right now, my stick on tits (bra) are in the car! 

Here's the story, I needed a dress for New Years eve.. ended up going to 2 malls, came out with 3 super sexy slap my knee hoe-tastic dresses! I'm trying to decide between a black one and a white one, the third is saved for something else in the future (not sure what, but it's cute). 

HELP! 

what I was thinking is.. black is slimming.. not to mention my flat ass looks ASSERIFFIC in it (surprisingly).. but the white one is just DIFFERENT! White for snow.. for winter.. ok. LOL. 

*sigh*

MY XMAS PRESENTS ENTRY IS UP! CHECK THE POST BELOW THIS ONE!

-END-

:) DID YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT XMAS?!?! Ok, so this would've normally been the part where I blog about what I did on xmas and share my presents with you all, and believe me I started blogging about it yesterday, but then I got distracted so now it's a half finished saved entry! :) You guys have to wait! 

So what can I be blogging about at 10:42 Am? Well.. nothing really, except I logged onto facebook and noticed my interesting cousin.. posted yet.. another one of his interesting notes. Yes, Eddy, the same cousin I live with, who wore the penguin costume I posted a while back, along with the Alice in Wonderland costume the year before. You might think.. what type of man is he, what goes on in the mind of someone who can fit into a size 10 women's pump? Well....enjoy!

Church Retreats: Gatherings of Dumbassery
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 4:57am
True story. A long time ago, when my mom used to make me waste my Sundays, I went on this church retreat. We were all sent to this "ranch" to do "activities" whereby they divided the boys into one group and the girls into another.

Does this sound familiar? It should if you've ever looked at the MO of a cult. But anyways, I remember this one pastor/otherwise-jobless-and-useless-individual trying to convince us that masturbating was a sin, you should hate yourself if you do it, and that he never did it. He only had sex with his wife and even then he was trying to convince us that he was sexually attracted to her.

He then told us all to close our eyes and if we masturbated, raise our hands so he could pray for us. HA! I knew what this self-hating, closeted homosexual was up to. He was going to rub one out at the thought of all these little boys raising their hands and telling him they touched themselves. What a fruitcake.

So what did I do? I called him on his game."Hells ya I masturbate! Profusely." Hold a black light in my room and that place is going to glow like Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Combined. So what's the moral of this story? Don't touch anything when you walk into my room.

He posts many like these, which usually warrant a *sigh* comment from his gf.

my xmas day story and presents

A picture my cousin sent me. She got married in August in the Bahamas!! I think she looks beautiful :) Ahh.. first it was Petty and now Vicky!! Hehehehe.. I feel bad for the groom, his pants are all sandy!

:) HAPPY FEW DAYs AFTER XMAS!! I hope you were all happy and filled with joy! 

Alrightyyyy, sadly, I did NOT bring my digi cam with me to any of my xmas family get togethers, so to those who need visuals to keep concentrated on this entry.. sorry!! I have pics of my presents at the end though. 

LET'S GET ON WID ITTTTTTT!! 

umm.. I have a confession to make.. I'm guilty of taking peeks and tossing my presents around every year. Think of a cat playing with their favorite toy. I did a pretty good job this year refraining from opening any early.. but on xmas eve, my little sister hops into the kitchen while I'm eating lunch and says something or another about the gifts. Jokingly, I asked her if she wanted to open the I gave her early and she said yes (... and zoomed away to the presents before I could finish talking). She LOOOOOOOOOVED the booties!! I think my little sister is on a boot high this season as well. She now owns a grey colored classic tall Uggs, a sand colored classic tall Uggs, those Steve Madden boots I posted back in Grey Suede, the same Steve Madden flat slouch Bonanza grey boots that I have (... COPY CAT!!), plus she just put in another order for black boots, straight calved leather ones. Anyways, she made me open her presents as well! She got me sleep PJs from Victoria's Secret.. which surprise surprise.. say UCLA on them. She said the little bears and dogs on the shirt made her want to buy them! I opened the second box and she got me a shirt with a peace sign on it plus a necklace from me and Christian's favorite jap store down at the Lab in costa mesa.

No.. I didn't stop there. I opened the present from my mom too and she got me a dress from Guess! -.- I think she meant to leave the gift receipt in there but accidently left the real one. 

Anyways, on the day of xmas, it rained!! :( YIKES! It's ok, I woke up to the sound of my dad laughing his ass off, and I'm like... wth? Turns out he opened the gift I had given him before I woke up and couldn't believe I got him the family guy pj bottoms! :) HEHEHEHE HE LOVES IT! Mom loved her pjs too!! She admitted she was getting cold sleeping in her usual silk ones! 

So after the whole opening gifts and such, my dad took my mom to go get her hair cut and done (wtf.. on xmas? I know!!) Anyways.. me and my sister get ready and off we go to meet up with the rest of my family for dim sum. We only had 11 people this time because Mimi and David couldn't come and we didn't invite extended family.. that's saved for Chinese New year.. which is scary. -.- My spawning family takes up 2 round tables usually. 

We ate, we laughed, woohoo! :) I don't have a pic but I was wearing a grey knit pancho, dark wash jeans, black uggs, and my white knit slouch beanie. 

Afterwards, we all split up, so me, jessica, eddy, diana went to get lollicup. Eddy ordered an uncommon drink and it almost looked like there was tofu in it (it's actually pudding).. so when Jessica pointed it out, he said he and his friends refer to it as ..... well I'd rather not say. Floating globs of white.. men.. perves.. you get the idea of what he was saying I suppose. 

Me and Jess (my little sister) drove back to YL, but dropped by my old babysitter's house to deliver her present! I mentioned this in my presents blog!! :) She loooooooved it!! Then we went back home and I proceeded to waste time and shower. Ok, here's a fact about me. I'm very anal about smell. If I just ate from a restaurant.. I won't go back into the car without cracking a window. Chips and water are allowed in my car, but not take-out and other hot foods because I can't stand my car smelling like food. Same goes for a small room. If I eat in a small room, I have to open the door or a window. I can't explain it.. I just feel so.. *shudders*.. yea this sounds strange but my cousin thinks it might be a form of OCD. I can't control it, therefore I freak out. Anyways I shower because I don't feel right if I don't, go figure, then I went out to deliver the xmas presents to my bf's fam bam! UGGGHHHH!! It started raining again right when I stepped out of my house and to top it off, I chose to go on the 91 freeway towards riverside at 4 PM on Xmas. Smaaaaaaaaaaaart. I hate traffic. I hate it almost as much as I hate the 60 East. I dropped off the presents for my bf's fam bam, then went back home to freshen up for to go to my uncle's new mansion for his BBQ turned indoor BBQ party. 

Ok, let me introduce my uncle Steve. You're probably thinking.. mansion? Don't you mean big house? Nope, he actually purchased quite a few acres up in the mountain area and had 2 mansions built from scratch, one next to the other but obviously with a big gap in between. He rented out the smaller one to some rich family who's obviously paying him more than they should. Ok, so now you're probably wondering what does he do? He owns a printing company. If you go to asian supermarkets, such as 99 Ranch Market, you'll occasionally pick up bags of whatever from the freezers or whatever right? He prints what's on those bags. A majority of the stuff you find in 99 ranch market were printed by his company. Anyways, back to describing his house. I liked the older one better, it had a more homey feel to it. This.. I guess because it's so new that it's kind of uncomfortable.. but it's nice. He has LOTS of windows because he's not a very private person and he loves natural lighting, it has 3 stories, plus an attic. He has a wooden elevator built into the house, purely for the purposes that when he and his wife get older and get too week to walk up all the stairs, they can use the elevator. Bailey (a pug) has FULL REIGN of the house. Nothing is off limits! 25 pounds and only a few months old... it's HUGE! I like the kitchen, it's my dream kitchen. Everything a real chef would want because my aunt LOVES to cook, so he gave her a dream domain. While uncle can be humble.. he likes to enjoy things a little too much.. so he had 3 sets of built in island bbqs in the backyard, which slopes down into the mountain terrain.  Katie loves the the garage. Not only does it fit 8 cars, the driveway fits exactly 15 cars. How do I know this? That xmas party was an invitation to family plus country club friends so I counted. 

I know I called this a bbq party but in reality, it was family time for food.... and.....

.......

MAH JONG.

Oh please, just shoot me now. I was bored to TEARS just chilling with cousins and old family friends' teens. 

Anyways, I know, you guys can't stand all these words and typing. I like reading ppl's stories but I know some only come for the pictures. I don't have many!

Guess watch from friends!!

lol.. the money I received, sorry no pics of the crisp bills! Coin purse that hid one of the money envelopes!! =P Tricky tricky. I like the hello kitto and the koi ones. They were the fattest :)

Guess dress/sweater my mom bought me!

My eyes for the BBQ day, excuse the hair, it wasn't done, hence the cropping. Couldn't do any holiday type of look because I'm with dad, which means less make up or else he gets mad. HMPH. obviously my neutral look but a little darker in the crease.. although you can't see it in the pic. 

Pre-paid credit card gift card from Uncle Steve!

Peace sign with LOVE necklace from my Sister

Peace shirt from my sister

UCLA Victoria's Secret pj set from my sister

Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance primer from BF

100 mL of Daisy by Marc Jacobs from BF

:) I loved the stuff I got this year! OH SPEAKING OF STUFF!!  

I got my Mushroom BB cream the day before Xmas! Bought from Phyllis at Makeupforlife! I'll review soon.

My Cherry Culture haul came in REALLLLLY fast! I ordered it and it arrived in 4 days I think!

Complimentary lipgloss from them, NYX Single eyeshadow in Black Sparkle, Kleancolor trio in Brown Sugar, (x3) L.A. colors liquid liners (review soon).  

That Cherry culture small haul only cost me like.. 10 bucks total.. because I used the 20% off discount. Hmm.. not thrilled with any of them. Love the BB cream though! 

I have something to say about Mac Black Tied eyeshadow.. but I'll save it for next time when I have it near me. 

:D BTW.. I'm straying away from Mandom and trying something else out as of 2 days ago. So far so good, I'll give it a few more days before I review it along with my new night cream!

Katie

XMAS PRESENTS REVEALED!

:) Ok, it's Christmas eve right now and I'm pretty sure nobody that I'm giving presents to will read this, so I'm going to show you all what my bank account has been crying about!! :D HACHAAAA!! 

AHHH!! TAI NAN GUO!!! :(

For my daddy.. I got him 2 PJ bottoms because.. he only has one pair he likes.. which he repeatedly wears.. every day.. until we force him to wash it.. which is gross.. 

Plaid Flannel cotton print in XL, $16

Family Guy cotton print in XXL, $16

For my mom, she only has silk PJs, but since it's gotten so cold lately, I wanted her to wear something warmer!! 

Striped Flannel cotten pj set, $14 

AHHH.. to my little sister. The fashionista of the house who has the most expensive tastes in the world.. who likes to send me Dear Santa wishlists. LOL!! Sadly.. I couldn't find what she wanted at the store.. I got her what has become all the rage in So Cal fashion..

Steve Madden Atlantta bootie in black, WAS $149, but got it for $79.99

What she actually wanted was..

Steve Madden Loletta bootie in black, WAS $199.99, now $179.99

What the eff? I went to the Steve Madden store in Brea PLUS two different Nordstroms but couldn't find the Loletta!!! It's not a clearance item or anything too.. which is really weird. I'm pretty positive she'll like the bootie I got her anyway because in MY OPINION, it's a lot cuter. Plus, she can stuff her skinnies into the top runched part. The Loletta looks retarded. 

Ok I couldn't find a pic because I forgot which model we got her.. but for my old babysitter who raised me and my sis since we were born until we were in Junior High.. 

Doony $ Bourke handbag, $265

(my sis and I slit the cost, so I put in half)

Now For The bf's FAM BAM!! 

For Christian's dad, I've only seen him wear one or two jackets and since it's cold lately.. ok I couldn't find an actual pic but this was the closest one on the website

Zip Up Wool Cardigan in Dark Grey, $80 I think.. 

I don't even remember the brand, it's already wrapped up.

For his mom, since she she's born in the year of the pig..

Swarovski piggy figurine, $55

For the second oldest brother Alan, since he's in the year of the Rabbit..

Swarovski bunny figurine, $75

For the oldest Russell he's been wanting..

Poseidon collectable figurine, $70

For Alex, Christian's twin.. Ok, I couldn't find a picture because I'm not sure what I bought, so this is a substitute pic again. Christian pointed it out so I got it. LOL. 

Gundam something something collectable figurine, $28 I think

For P (penpal26) Alex's gf, I got her a nice hot pink cute ass g-string! There's little bows in back where the butt is ;) EHEEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!! 

Victoria's Secret "v"string, $14

Lastly, for the bf, because his old tower was ancient beyond belief.. ok it wasn't that bad.. but it was pretty bad. 

Customized Gaming tower, $380

LOL YES I realize I spent more on my bf's family than my own but my dad doesn't want (or even use) anything unnecessary and my mom.. well if it's not something needed, it'll come with a huge ass price tag in the 4 digits, which I can't afford. I was going to buy my little sister black uggs or her loletta booties but obviously, they didn't have them or didn't have her size, so I chose something else :)

AHHHHHH!! My stupid boyfriend always rubs my legs when I'm wearing leggings.. and he flippin ripped a small hole in my black ones!! Probably from his yucky nails or hang nail.. I DON'T KNOW. Asshole.. time to buy new ones. I love them so much more than pants.. I think they keep you warmer, hands down than jeans. Just my opinion anyway. I have.. grey, black, and brown.. now I'm off to find another black and then a denim print one. :) mmm... Shopping..

My sister's watching a movie under my room so I keep feeling the vibrations.

Now, for those who live in different states and countries or cities.. I'm going to list what you should wear to fit into the norm here in So Cal.. where winter's don't last more than 2-3 months and you can't avoid getting sandal tans year round. I see lots of blogs out there where ppl are coming down to visit and they're all.. WHAT TO WEAR WHAT TO BUY.. TANK TOP AND SHORTS? NOOOOOOOO not now. We ain't THAT sunny!! 

Things that will never ever go away down here for women (my observation)..

1. bomber jackets, whether they be leather (more popular now) or puffy (more popular a year ago). 

(trend been goin on since.. sophmore year of my high school years)

2. fur trimmed jackets or bombers

(since junior year of hs, going strong since)

3. peacoats, both short and long

(a necessity to own if you're in college, short waist length is generally seen among h.s. kids, trend's been going strong here since my cousin's grad, so 2001 or 2002) Very commonly found within universities. I have a dark grey one :)

4. tunic length sweaters/knit panchos

(sweaters very popular among those anti-pant wearers, like me)

5. tunic length ANYTHING

(over jeans, no jeans, over shorts, no shorts, long shit is the shit. Call it the fall/winter version of babydoll tops)

6. long scarf known as mufflers

(veeeeeeery popular in the urban trend since last year, only looks good when worn the right way, popular in diff colored plaids, houndstooth, skulls and crossbones)

7. Leggings

(around since.. oh.. sophomore year of my hs years. Started off with ppl wearing them the wrong way but grew eventually into the staple in everyone's closet that they are now.. damn.. a 6 year old trend that hasn't died yet!!!)

8. rainbow sandals, target sandals, sandals from pacsun (summer time obviously)

(.... I HATE rainbows. So I disagree with this trend)

9. UGGs, leather/suede slouchy boots both heeled or flat, short booties (fall/winter time obviously)

(actually, you see UGGS in summer too, very strange. But down here in So Cal.. boots are the shit. You can't NOT own a pair of boots unless you give some excuse like.. your calves can't fit into them) FYI.. I own at least 2 from each category of boots above. LOL. Except booties.. I can't find a pair I just HAVE to have. I might go back for the atlantta I got my sis though.

10. Slouchy barrets

(verrrrrrrrrry common. I have 4 myself. Great to top off a look or to keep your head warm)

11. Skinny Jeans

(... not something I'm thrilled about. If you have the legs and body for it then I'm all for it, but some ppl are just NAAAAAASTY with these. No offense. I guess it's a few years old so it's probably here to stay. Ehh. I only like to wear them with my long boots.. never with flats, sandals, or chucks. Makes ppl look all short and stubby in my opinion.)

12. Oversized bags, Hobos

(soooooo common since 2006. The bigger the better. Going long and strong)

13. Oversized sunglasses OR Aviators (cop shades)

Skinny jean lovers tend to love the aviators with their looks, oversized bag wearers can often be seen with oversized thick sunglasses (i fall in the second category). Aviators can look fierce, the whole emotionless cop look can be very effective! Been around obviously since Nicole Richie sported them.

14. Layering

We love to layer. Layering is a must, at least for me. I can't wear a shirt without layering something UNDER it. Layering provides color among other shit that we layer for. LOL!!! 

Those are just the top  things I can think of for the So Cal norm as of now. So if you're coming to visit, now you know!! It's a TOTALLY different list though when it comes to summer time. 

Although I don't agree with all the trends, a lot of you californian readers can't deny that you see these eeeeeeeverywhere. 

:( Don't hate me for hating rainbow sandals. COME ON!!! THEY SUCK!!!! Lol.. my little sister has like... 3 pairs of those. I think I only disagree with 2 of the trends up there. 

Ok I'm hungry.. time to go eat!! I should've put pictures up there.. OH well!! :) Ok Izu, you like clothes, how do you think my list is? Spot on accurate?

mmmmmm.. I want this bright red peacoat I saw in the mall.. I harassed my bf about it a while back but it obviously never stuck in his mind. 

Ok, time to chow down!

Katie

*sigh* so in loveeee

DEAR SANTA;

I'm so in looooove with these Steve Madden Legion boots. THESE are the ones I mentioned in my twitter.. the perfect pair to replace my Cathy Jeans. 

Ok, I'll confess, I didn't discover these by myself. My sister actually bought a pair in Brown Leather and I fell in LOOOOOOOOVE!! 

In Cognac

In Brown Leather

I WANT THOSE TWO COLORSSSSSSSSSS!!! I'm never one to buy just one of something... lol.. poor bank account. But alas, my bank account lives another day because there's only sizes 7.5 and up for the brown leather both at nordstroms AND at Steve Madden.. there's still a 5.5 in the cognac at steve madden.. and the original price fell from $159.95 down to $139.95... PLUS I have a coupon for 20% off.. so it goes down to about $111.. but I don't know.. should I wait for them to both be in stock again or just buy.. cognac is a little out there for me, I usually prefer dark brown or black boots. I'll do some thinking on this now..

but while I'm talking about boots.. let's talk about what I've owned.. 

Classic Tall Black UGGs $159, 

LOVE them to death, I've been wearing these so much lately

Classic Tall UGGs in Chocolate Brown, $159

Fornarina italian Brown suede boots, $279

they look retarded in the pic, it's more slouchy in person and WAYYY cute

Cathy Jean Slouch boot in black leather, $89

the ones that broke. Cathy Jean has 2 types of slouch boots, one is all slouchy, and mine which is slouchy at the ankle but fitted up top. :( RIP.

Steve Madden Bonanza boot in Grey suede, $89

You can never have too many boots.. but I don't know if I should get more Steve maddens.. I can't generally wear heels around my bf because he gets butt hurt.. not that I think it matters much ANYWAY.. with or without the heals I'm still a lot taller than him but he gets upset when I even mention heels.. -.- ARGHHH! 

.....

just ordered the boots. LOL!!!!
