trickery!!

Uhh.. title means nothing to me. I was going to put up a post today with PICTURES!! OOOOOH! 

but no time for that now.. studying for.. THE final.. the one I've actually been sweating about, is taking me a lot longer than I thought. Never get behind on your readings people.. that's a lesson I still haven't managed to learn yet. 

Why am I blogging? Well, BF is showering right now so he can't scold me for wandering away from my studies! TEEHEE!! 

yay 21 in an hour and 18 minutes. Thank you professor Groeling for giving me a lovely final on my bday. 

me and the bf were talking about things relating to my birthday last night.. plus about my past birthdays :) that's one of the things I love about him, he listens unconditionally to me if he senses there's something on my mind. He wouldn't let me go to sleep last night until he made sure I wasn't depressed about anything. 

shit, he's done with the shower. gotta go!

:D

did I mention...

For those who don't follow my twitter, I finally found my camera charger!! YEEEEEEEEESSS!! Of all the damn places.. in my glove compartment in my car.

Sarah said that at the time I must've had it on me and thought "Oh, if I keep it there, I'll know where to find it again later!"

yup.. yea.. totally agree. Ain't gonna lieeee.. that's how it went. I think it was from a trip back from Vegas and I had it in my hands. Ahh.. the memories.. they come back to me now! Little good it does me now, I'm at my parents' house right now without my camera (.... ha..... ha) so this is once again, a pictureless post (hurray for readers, boo for picture lovers)

:) I just finished my last 10 page paper! WOOOOO!

Umm.. so on Friday.. I only had to go to one class, and it's the ONLY class that I'm worried about grade-wise, so I've been putting in a lot of effort there (flubbed the first mid term), and just GOING to class is 1% of your damn grade for each day.. yes.. he does that whole stupid elementary school ROLL SHEET crap.. what a loser. So I was actually leaving my apartment EARLY.. by a few minutes anyway.. and when me and the boyfriend go to start up my car.. it makes this clicking sound.. and nothing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Of all days!! This was the day he reviews things and tells us what's going to be on the test!! I call roadside assistance.. they don't get to my apartment for a good.. 1.5 hours.. so by the time he actually jumped my car, I had only 20 mins of class left, and it would take me at least 30 mins to get there since it was past noon (fuck you LA traffic).

I asked if I needed to change my battery because I only changed it a year ago.. and he's all.. NOPE, things like this just HAPPEN for no reason sometimes out of nowhere, you should be good to go. WAHHHHHHHHHHHT?? So it was just a bad day?! *sigh* emo corner..

Could that day get worse? Oh hells YES. Since there was nothing else to do.. we decided to go down to Garden Grove to eat lunch, avoid traffic later and whatnot you know? So we eat at Lucky's Chinese Food. BF took two bites of the food and said his stomach started feeling weird so he didn't eat as much as he normally does. I on the other hand, didn't think anything of it and just ate what I could. We head over to Jason's house so the two lovers can play with their new found love.. Resident Evil.. I forget which number. I laid down because my stomach was like.. kicking me on the insides if that makes any sense and I just drifted off to sleep. I woke up completely drenched with sweat, my insides kickin, and my face was like.. the wall, not that it isn't naturally pale but it was like.. colorless when I saw it in the mirror. Achy, headache, nauseous.. the works. If you haven't guessed it by now..

FOOD POISONING..

thank god it's not the diarrhea type though, that would've sucked. HEHEHE did I totally gross you out?

But yea that day sucked like poo.

Oh and now I just got an invite to go celebrate my friend Qiao's 21st bday with my old college friends because they FORGOT her real bday and this is a belated party.. well guess what day it's on? March 18. Nice guys....... nice.

Besides the fact that's my actual birthday where I'm also turning 21, I have a final finishing around the time they plan to meet up, so who knows.

I'll be celebrating my bday with my family at Gyu Kaku next Saturday or Sunday, yaaaaaaaay, drinks on my parents! Note to self, stop inviting alcoholic cousins, they shoot up the bill. I remember for my mom's bday, we took her to this cool restaurant and invited all my alcoholic cousins, total of 13 people, food bill came out to be about $360 I think.. and the drink bill came out to be $340.. somewhere around there. Me and my sister paid for the bill since we invited everyone but DAMNNNN.. they didn't have to go all crazy on our asses just because we were paying. I mean come on.. think about it. My sister was 18 at the time and I was 20, how much can we possibly make compared to you guys?

I plan on getting carded, just so when I get asked, "May I see your ID?"
I can say "*BAMMMMM* YES YOU FINALLY CAN!"

Oh ho ho, you may think... "you're not going to do that"

Ya well for those few who actually know me in real life, you know I will and you're probably shaking your heads right now, and chances are, you will text me very soon abou this. ;) hur hur hur.

You know.. I've stopped wearing foundation for like.. a little less than a month now due to school time constraints.. and now when I even touch the stuff, I feel like I have too much shit on my face. I've seen people put on tinted moisturizer and then foundation and I'm like.. WTH? Are you TRYING to clog your pores? People ask me how I have good skin, well .... I don't slap things on my face willy nilly! Unless.. it is chocolate.. which I would gladly lick off. I may have trouble getting the part between my eyes though. Maybe my forehead too.

ta ta! I'll post pictures of my recent hauls and ... junk.. soon!

Katie

oh god, fumes.

A pictureless post because.. you know.. my camera died.

(x.x) *staggers around*

So this quarter has got me all wound up to the point where I've neglected to actually clean my apartment (except for the dishes, got those down all the time).. and that doesn't mix well with my OCD-like tendencies. Sooooo, since today is the first day in a while that I've got to relax, I cleaned! Bleached, scrubbed, sanitized evvvvverything!! Toilet, tub, floors, stove, sinks, mirrors, desks, tables, you name it, it's done. Towards the end I had to lie down because the smell of bleach and lysol made me dizzy *sigh*, then I did the dishes for today. 

:( oi!!! I still haven't found my camera battery charger! I turned my parents' house upside down looking for it (and my apartment too)!!! lost case I tell you.. I might actually have to buy one and the cheapest I found was from Amazon.. and it's $37?!?!?!?! FOR A CHARGER?? EGADS PEOPLE!! 

I think I'll borrow my sister's to charge my cam this weekend when I go back home just so I can at least use it to show you guys my purchases! My Sephora, Mark on Avon, and Liole BB cream haul came in (tiny as they are), waiting on my MAC still and my new moisturizer from Mary Kay. 

OMG the Liole is so nice and spreadable!! It doesn't smell all herby like the other BB creams I've tried!! It actually has a nice soapy kinda smell to it, like..... fresh linen almost! Sadly.. it's too pink for my skin tone. I might try Shill next, it's a Taiwanese BB cream yo! Or.. I could just wait until I go back to Taiwan.. or even better, ask my cousin's to buy it and give it to my dad when he goes at the end of March! :) OOOO.. the possibilities. I'm sure my cousin Xi Yu would know it.. if not then Fong Yi.. 

:) My aunt and uncle came back from Japan recently and got me my favorite riceballs (handheld it on the plane)!!! 

*shameless advertisement* 

My uncle owns a sushi restaurant in Yorba Linda called Yoshi's Sushi! Click the link to check out their website for their location if you're ever down near Brea or Placentia! -.- I'm aware most people don't know where the hell Yorba Linda is. 

Oh so I've finally done my speech, it ended up being about 14 minutes long, which is good! I still have to turn in a 10 page critic for that class though.. I should do that soon.

I finally finished the 10 page research analysis paper plus dictated the three interviews for my sociology class!! Soooo glad that's done... my final printed out version was 58 pages long since everything was double spaced. Ahahaha.. yea.. what? 58 pages? Yes. Being the procrastinator I was.. I finished the interviews a week before the paper was due.. and then did the actual data transferring/typing plus my paper writing the DAY BEFORE IT WAS DUE. 

I swear.. I'm just asking to be sent to an early grave. :)

Gotta study for my comm tech final.. need.. good.. grade.. 

Oh, so I find that cooking after a long day at school is actually really relaxing. 

Last week's menu:

- chili hot dogs (lazy that day)

- rice, taiwanese sausages

- rice, chicken curry made from scratch

- ate out

- rice, green string beans, carrots, mushrooms, grilled spam

This week's menu:

- rice and taiwanese sausage, sauteed spicy bean curd, garlic and green string beans

- ate out

- rice, green string beans, grilled marinated pork chops, a little spam

LOL.. my mom usually asks me what I eat and when I told what I've been making lately, she's all.. WHATTTT? YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE THOSE THINGS? I THOUGHT YOU WERE TOO LAZY AND WOULD JUST EAT DUMPLINGS AND INSTANT NOODLE!

-.- ahh.. yes you can see she has a lot of faith in my keeping myself fed. LOL. 

We argued about the pork chops. I like them tough and crisp, she likes them tender. Clash!! 

Baby likes my food, he says that usually after he eats food other people make, he gets hungry again after a while but my cooking fills him up all night.. ahhahaha.. fat ass! 

:) Time to plan out the rest of the week's menu! I mean.. study.. yes of course, study. 

:) Hello people who still read this! Ahh.. my last final lands on my birthday. Dude.. I don't want that kind of present! Refund on the final! :(

Loves and shicka shakes to you all!

Katie

:(

I can't find my digi cam battery charger!! But I did receive my sephora haul today! Hmm.. now waiting for my Mac and Mark on Avon haul to come in. :( Gosh darn my careless self for misplacing my charger!!

*sigh* at least I'm done with my 6 pg experiment.. now my one 10 pg paper critic, 15 pg research paper, and 10-15 minute speech is left to be finished. Then my finals in a little less than 2 weeks. 

Joy.. happy happy joy joy. 

Till then! 

Katie

because I can

*sighh* bored at home all day, it was too hot to go outside!!

I hauled almost $200 worth of stuff from Sephora and Mac a few days ago.

:) Reunited with Sarah and Kat!! Ahhhh some much needed GIRL time yup yup~! Will blog about that later.

Scientist from Great Britain speculates that this economic depression is going to last another 10 years. (by the way, this is worst than the great depression, simply because the rate at which we're declining is a lot steeper.. but you know.. I'm not going to get all technical and preachy on you guys)

Sarahhhhh I forgot what I said I was going to future-blog on :( remind me.

I should have spent this weekend productively, but instead I was online looking at clothes because my closet is outdated. I have one 10 page paper and one 15 page paper due in about 2 weeks, two experiment write ups due this week plus a 10 minute speech to give.

hmmm....

:) time to snack!

toots!

Katie

WHAAAAAAT? fotd

*gasp*

So, if you've been following my blog (or know me in real life).... you'll know I'm a pretty avid collector of makeup as opposed to the avid makeup USER. It's a SUCKY money consuming hobby that I can't shake off. I still have shit in it's original packaging from like.. 2-3 years ago *ahem.. mac* or stuff I use a few times.. then stop because it's so pretty but it was LE so if I run out, what would I do??

:) Well.. I used my Hello Kitty Lucky Tom palette!!!!!! *shiockkkk*

I know. Woah. So after debating with myself over whether or not I should actually use the palette (good 3 minutes right there), I did it! And I took pictures! The pictures do NOT do the colors justice.. the purple is so much more vibrant (and well blended in) in real life! :( And in the pictures, it looks like there's a darker crease in my right eye but that's only because the sun was shining on my left side, washing the colors out a little!!

the eyes open!


so you can see it better.. washed out i tell you!!


traffic blows. Notice the lighting diff compared to the top? 2 hr drive yo!


me and the not picture happy bubby.


Sorry for the BLAHHHHHSMIC hair, it was one of those days where I showered, left the apartment, let the open window and wind blow dry my hair (i know i know.. bad). =D

In case anyone even wants to know what I used...
(sometimes I get asked what I use for my face.. it changes because I try to use up the crap I buy) In my opinion, if you have fab skin, you can pull off any foundation or TM, cheap or high end. I don't like to use primer on my face either unless it's for like.. an EVENT because if I wear it, I feel like I have too much crap on my face.

Face
MUFE bronzer shade 2
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand
MUFE concealer
Skinfood Mushroom BB Cream shade 2 (the last bit of it.... sigh)

Eyessss
Mac HK Lucky Tom palette (all colors)
Mac brow crayon in either Spiked or Stud.. forgot which I grabbed that morning
Mac Painterly paint pot
L'Oreal liquid liner.. label/name is rubbed off :(
K-Palette pen liner (lower lash line)

Lips
Mac HK Cute-ster lipstick
Mac Heatherette Bonus Beat lipgloss

that's all for today!

Much love!

Katie

ps- :) Hi

pps- RAWRRRRR!! After placing my BB cream order last week, I find I'm not going to receive it for another 2-3 weeks because it's coming directly from Korea. -.- this better be good. *kung fu pose*

:( ran out of bb cream

Ok, I finally ran out of my Skinfood Mushroom BB Cream that I purchased from Phyllis. BOOOO!!! I actually really liked it more than my Hanskin BB Cream! Ok so I'll do a review on both eventually, be on the look out if you haven't tried them (just my opinions yo!) but when I was about to email Phyllis.. I decided that I wanted to give some other ones a try! Soooo, I went to Titty's blog and she has like.. the most doll-like face I've ever seen with amazing skin.. and she had put up a post of her collection of BB creams and I thought the shade of Liole BB Cream was very suitable for me! I can't say what it's like yet because I just placed an order for it yesterday but hopefully it'll work out! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE skinfood bb cream, but honestly, I don't like the smell OR the price tag.

:( The picture of the product looks kinda small but I'm hoping it's actually decently sized in real life and I'm hoping I like the texture and smell! The packaging is pretty damn cute no? I'm tempted to try Shill's BB Cream as well, as I heard it's a lot more yellow (and it's a Taiwanese BB Cream!), but I'll wait on that!



This by the way, is my HG bath wash from now till the end of time. It's Dove's Cream Oil Body wash and it's Cherry Blossom & Almond scented!! It smells SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO unbelievably good. I've tried Dove's original and cucumber melon one, but this one is by far, THE BEST! My skin feels pretty hydrated afterwords too which is nice. I suggest you girls try this if you like cherry blossoms. It makes me want to take a shower right now!!
