Palty hair dye.

Something I forgot to update everyone on! I dyed my hair! Happy happy. However, I' m only partially satisfied with the results.

I used a popular brand among Asian females, I presume? It's called Palty! I like it! My friend has used it twice, she told me it smelled like chemicals. I didn't think it smelled like chemicals at all.

Palty Juicy Peach from Ichiban Kan! US$7.99

One problem that occurred when I opened the box was that the instructions were in FULL Japanese, however it had Chinese characters in them because Japanese use Chinese characters as well. So reading the instructions weren't that much of a bother, but for the people who can't decipher the Japanese language may have a hard time. It wasn't hard to read the picture steps either.

And btw, the dye turns purple when you mix both of the dyes. And supposedly, you're not supposed to keep the bottle for long, or it'll blow up.

It came out to a color that was alright looking to me. I recently dyed my hair (or attempted to at least) to a lighter brown than my natural color. Not much color. So I used Palty. (My first time using Palty.) It turned my hair color a great amount lighter, but I could go for an even lighter brown.

I looked on the SOOMPI forums about Palty hair dye and everyone seemed to agree that it was a good product for Asian hair rather than the American brands.

If I plan on going lighter, I'll see which color product I want to use. There's also a new Japanese hair dye brand, it's called FreshLight. It's got baby dolls on the boxes. I haven't used it, but the colors look vibrant enough.

I don't suggest using ANY type of hair dye if you're a first time user. Every instruction manual suggests you to try a small portion on your skin the night before to see if you have any allergic reactions to the dye, which of course is a good idea. Not a good idea to dye your hair too much and on the roots. I don't have my roots and of course it looks damn ugly, but just trying to keep safe and away from the harmful chemicals in the hair dye. If only organic hair dye would be so effective to change my hair color, permanently.

So tired plus updates!

Ugh, I've been trying to make a decent banner for this shitty blog I have... since about 4:30PM.

The above banner is the one that has wasted my efforts for such a long time. So I'm tired.

NOT TO WORRY! I'm still working on fixing up this blog. Now if I had a nice CSS style sheet already in my hands.. GR!

I love ending my projects, but I'm having no luck here. I'm trying to put other stinking modules on the page too, if it'll work out for me.

I've got so much to update and so little time. I guess I'll just start off with things I remember most.

I think I'll have to start back to about the month of March.
February 2009: Met my S.O. :)

March 2009: My birthday! Didn't do much. Went to Lori's to eat. :)

April 2009: Not much, finals coming up soon. Almost time to say goodbye to everyone.

May 2009: Summertime feels too good!

June 2009: My most apprehensive day came and passed, I passed all my classes! Finally graduated from high school! So happy! Got my diploma on stage. Had my family watching me on stage. Significant other and I's beginning of the rest of our lives.

July 2009: Road trip to SAN DIEGO! Too bad we got caught in the shitty part of San Diego. Overall, was a beautiful experience, went to the beach a lot. Saw the fireworks for the first time with my babes! There was a carnival going n and we went on the rides a bunch of times! Finally got my driving permit! Started and finished my driving lessons. 12 damn hours, with a stupid lady! 2 hours with a 15 minute break half way?! WTH I DIDN'T PAY YOU TO TAKE A 15 MINUTE BREAK. And another thing, she totally took control of the wheel and pedals on her passenger side! It was ridiculous! I also didn't pay you to take control of the wheel! You might as well have been driving and I didn't have to pay up for not learning jack squat! Thank goodness that's over! Trying to get my driver's license finally, but I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

STUPID DMV!

August 2009: Oh man, WORK WORK WORK! First day of college! What a bore, only taking like.. 3 classes.

September 2009: Got contacts finally! Still waiting for those circle lenses of course. Avery's 2nd birthday! Whole family was here. Can't wait for the holidays! Now only taking 2 classes in college. That sucks.

Basically, shopping for the whole summer and going to work was my thing.

I'm trying to save up for a new laptop! Sony VAIO in pink please! Plus, I'm trying to save up for a tattoo and a couple of other things.

I'm working pretty hard in school right now, probably because I only have 2 classes. I guess I had the idea of majoring in English and moving to China and teaching students English there. I'll see if it works out.

I know I blogged about going vegetarian? Ugh, so not working out. I'm going to try to work something out with my babes and see if we an go vegetarian together. And then, going vegan may be a little easier. I don't know exactly how I'm going to go cold turkey and omit meat out of my diet. I guess I'll be more healthy. I really need to get in shape. I've been so out of shape lately. I went jogging ONCE my whole summer, which isn't too good. I haven't been eating too healthy either. I've been eating out too much, spending too much money on food, that could be found at home.

I've started a new blog home at tumblr.com. I'm trying to see which blog is easiest to use. Tumblr has a lot of features, which I like, but my blog home for now is going to be blogspot. So far, I've only posted one blog on tumblr about pseudonyms, and no more than that. I may even post that post on here sometime later.

I'm working on the final installment of the Twilight series. Breaking Dawn, very good so far. Very different things that are going on. I'm going to keep quiet about what happens, everyone has to go support Stephenie Meyer and read all the books! I'm really hoping she comes out the Edward's side of the story, seems interesting!

Movies to watch: The Ugly Truth (2009), Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past (2009), Inglorious Basterds (2009)
Movies I want to watch: Sorority Row (2009), Jennifer's Body (2009), New Moon (2009) « I know it's going to suck, but... I just want to check it out! Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Movies NOT to watch: The Strangers (2008), Twilight (2008) « READ THE BOOK! Way better. The Final Destination 3-D(2009)

I'm really interested in the Sarah Dessen books and Nicholas Sparks books. I want to read them all! The books jackets make them sound so nice. So I'll see if I have money to buy the books and we'll see how that goes!

I'm sure there's more stuff to blog about, but I'm not sure what it is and I can't pinpoint everything like these four people with OCD and can remember every little detail of their lives since they could remember.

I've spent so much money since I've gotten a job, mostly investing in shoes. I've stopped shopping since then to save up money, but I really want to go shopping, there's a couple pieces of clothing I think that every woman should have. I'll post up pictures sometime in the future.

I've got school tomorrow and I'm not excited about getting up at 6AM for school. But that's life. I've got to edit this later and talk about my plans for next semester of college!

EDIT: September 25 2009
So I had to finish posting and updating EVERYTHING that has went on in the last couple of months. Time flies by. My baby cousin turning 2 years old. Etc, etc.

But I really wanted to talk about my plans for college next semester. I'm taking a day at a time and trying to concentrate. I really wanna do well, you know! I know I'm sharing this with everyone and all, but it's mostly for myself, like a little note-to-self kind of thing.

Freshmen year:
Semester 1: English 93, Psychology 1
Semester 2: English 96, Biology 1, Math 840, Asian American Studies, Graphic Communications
Summer 2009: English 1A, Math ___.

I think that's my plan for now. Depending on how packed the classes are, can I get in, financial aid, and those sorts of things.

I really hope to take my education to the next level. I didn't do well in high school and I hope I'll make up for lost time.

I'm not sure where I'll be transferring to either, like I said I'll be taking it a day at a time.

MY LIFE IS SO BORING!

Booooohoooo. Every single day is the same old same old! I'm sick of it! School, work, nothing to do, nowhere to go. Will someone please spice up my life?! I need my Degrassi: The Next Generation and my Fushigi Yugi! I haven't even finished my Fushigi Yugi.. ITS SO GOOD! After I'm finished with Fushigi Yugi, I'm going to continue to season 8 of Degrassi. I need to find something interesting! And not to mention.. FREE!

I'm trying to save up my money, for school, etc. What a bore, huh? Yuck, maybe going to San Diego wasn't a very good idea. Nevertheless, I already went. And spent so much money to say the least!

But whatever, I'm so bored. And I need a nice, beautiful layout! Ugh, so much to think about...

Retards at Costco

OMG SO MUCH TO UPDATE. No time to keep this up, though.

I will however tell you about today.

I went to Costco with my family. We went for about 10-20 minutes. My mom was still at the Deli roaming for more samples. My dad and I started walking to the lanes. We weren't pushing any carts, since we didn't buy too much stuff anyway.

My dad happened to walk in front of this BALD idiot pulling on his cart, probably with his mother.

His "mother", "accidentally" rammed into my dad's heel.

My dad said, "HEY!" Since they didn't apologize at all.

This stupid BALD bitch, has the balls to say, "Well you shouldn't have been walking in front of us."

I retaliated with, "AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RUDE."

This stupid idiot then shuts up.

His mother, or whatever that ugly bitch was, said sorry. Was it a sincere apology? HELL NO.

She said it not in a rude manner, but in a way that was like, "why do you care if I rammed into you, get over it." or a "shut up" sorry. And to say sorry AFTER your stupid, poor, pathetic excuse for a man said, "you didn't have to walk in front of us."

ARE YOU STUPID?! That's an INSULT to stupid people. Stupid people would have manners to say sorry after they've done something wrong.

My dad says, "God damn it, FUCK YOU."

WHO IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD SAYS, "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WALKING IN FRONT OF US." That's like driving and you just ram into the car ahead of you and say, "you shouldn't have been driving in front of me."

WHAT. THE. FUCK? I previously had an experience at Costco as well. It was the weekend of my birthday.

This stupid lady. She bought a TON of stuff to the register. She even had a coupon book of hers. She was at the register for at least 20 minutes flipping through her coupon book. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?! Why can't you rip all your coupons before you get to the register. This bitch had the audacity to walk away like nothing happened as well.

NO SHAME. AT. ALL.

Why are people that shop at Costco so DAMN stupid?! Piss me off. Today's altercation was the stupidest thing I've ever heard someone say. I just cannot fathom what HELL HOLE he crawled out from. Pathetic, pathetic. No wonder you're 25+ and balding. You deserve it.

WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING INTO STUPID IDIOTS AT COSTCO?!

I say they should be banned!

I am so damn pissed.

SO PISSED!

I converted banks a few months ago. I am now under New Bank*. (Let's just call it New Bank, I'm not trying to embarrass the bank.) I'm not trying to bad mouth this particular bank as a whole. But one damn stupid fuck bank teller.

I had a sum of money (a rather large amount accumulated over the years) to deposit under New Bank*, now that it was my main bank. I deposited the sum of money into what I thought was my account. I gave them my SSN instead of my savings book, since I didn't have it with me.

Apparently, I guess he didn't hear a damn number and put it under someone else's bank account. Of course I didn't learn of this until 2-3 months after I deposited my money.

I used my credit card a few times to build up my credit score. My uncle didn't let me get any checking because it wasn't free. -___-'

So I had online bill pay. I went online to pay my credit card bill. Lo and behold, I only had US$100 in the savings and checking accounts. The $100 was from opening an account, just to have money in it.

Prior to knowing I only had $200, I went on a splurging spree and bought some shoes. I then got overdrafted-$10 and then I now have $50 something in the accounts.

My uncle noticed that my rather large sum of money wasn't in my accounts. So we called the bank and raised hell.

It was rather ridiculous having to wait for such a long time for the money to be returned to my bank account. We gave the last four digits of the account that the money actually went to, the transaction number, the date, etc. It should have been returned to me at ONCE.

I know that some people have bad intentions try to gip money out of the banks, however, I stood there without knowledge of having my money in someone else's account.

It was horrendous to know that someone ELSE had my money in there account, like money had fallen into their account from the sky. The person didn't even come up and say, "Why do I have this money in my account, I didn't deposit it."

What I want to know is that if the money was taken OUT of his account as well. Ugh, I was so pissed when I found out. How could this stupid ass bank teller just put MY money into other people's accounts!

You may argue, "HE'S HUMAN. LEAVE HIM ALONE." I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! YOU MESS UP YOU PAY. I hope he got fired. I gave him my most personal information to access my account and you still mess up, ugh.

He could have put MY money into HIS OWN account! What a bitch.

Good thing I got EVERY PENNY back. I got the overdraft thing back too. But I've overdrafted a few times since then. I really need to start saving money and all.

But everyone, you have to be careful, you should always bring your account book, as proof of account #'s and all. Don't let this happen to you!
