Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011.

It is almost the end of the year 2010, and it is about time to ring in the new year 2011. And I have good news and bad news...

The bad news is... This will be my last blogging post of 2010. The good news?... I have many fucking more blog posts for 2011! YOU GUYS AREN'T READYYY!!!

One more year to live when the world ends in 2012.

Just kidding, and all jokes aside... Never in a million years would I imagine this year was going to be so eventful in ways both good and bad.

I've made friends and lost friends. I went halfway around the world to see something new. Taiwan night markets. Visited the fatherland. Experienced the speed of the Maglev. Angel Island. I played pool for the first time! More family drama. Happy tears, sad tears, angry tears. Maturing. Giving up. Holding onto hope. Got another tattoo for my birthday. Got my tragus pierced. Finally decided my major. Upgrading a lot of stuff. Went clubbing. Dressed up as a gyaru for Halloween. Carved pumpkins for Halloween. Spending time with my boyfriend. Formed 4MUL2. Letting others into my life. I fucking met Xiaxue. Obtained more readers on my blog, I'm up to 6,000+ hits. Became more active on Tumblr. Built gingerbread houses. Lost 4,000+ of my tweets on Twitter. Didn't die on the plane for 12+ hours. Ate airplane food. Had the worst case of anxiety before getting on the plane. Went back to black hair ♥__♥.

Merry Christmas

I know I'm behind on wishing you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Year, but I'm here now. :)

I've been occupied with other things and beyond lazy to blog, my life has been boring so whatever.

I had 2 parties consecutively so you can tell that I've been exhausted. I planned a party for my friends and myself and I thought it was a nice get together, then I had a party with my co-workers, which was nice as well.

I planned a party at Jon's house for all of us to get together for Christmas and Secret Santa, I thought it was somewhat successful. Most of us brought over some food to eat and board games to play. I played Taboo and Clue the Simpson's edition. WHAAA, so fun! I especially liked Taboo. :) Then we ate sanitary family style - meat lasagna, mashed potatoes and gravy and garlic bread.
Shortly after, we opened our Secret Santa gifts. Linda was my Santa and she got me the One Day tattoo eyeliner. Sad to say it doesn't live up to it's name. :(

After Secret Santa we ate some really delicious, moist cake that Jon baked for all of us. Most people left after that and the people left ended up making gingerbread houses. :) Jenny and I teamed up to make "Ho Haus", hahahaha. I was too tired, so I left a bit early.

The next evening after was my party at work. It was a nice celebration with even better food! Mom made some potstickers for my to bring to work. I got there early so I helped the bosses set up the tables. We all talked and made funnehs and stuff. We got started with dinner (which of course was delish) then we started the Secret Santa gift opening! I got another gift card this year (no one likes me ;[). Tom also gave me coal as a gag gift. T__T'

I left the party shortly after all the Secret Santa presents were opened and I went to go play pool. Must be like my 4th time playing pool, but I was pretty damn good at it, if I may toot my own horn. Must have been the 5 inch heels and half a glass of wine.

I finally got my teeth cleaned! I'm happy. :) ~Random~~~~~

Baby got me a gift for Christmas. :) A new necklace! He bought me a necklace for my birthday for my 18th, but the chain kept breaking. Pretty fed up with the chain so he bought me a new one! I like it and I can finally wear the pendant.

I didn't do anything for Christmas with my family because we never do anything. :'( I ended up eating dessert with 4MUL2 plus Lillian, lawlz. It was a short but nice get together, I talked with Jonathan a bit before going home.

Worked with Amy last night and I waited for her to get off, we ended up going to play pool again! I sucked at pool last night, hahahahaha. I did get in one shot that was pretty nice. :) Went home after Andy and I got owned at pool, haha.

BACK!!!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

It's been a long time since you've seen me with a new post, but here I am. I'm still alive and doing well! I hope you all are too. :)

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was swell and I hope your Christmas holiday is even better!

Let's start with Thanksgiving!

I hung out with honey for a bit on Thanksgiving day and I went home to have dinner with my family. Lackluster as always, but I'm still thankful for them.

On Black Friday, mom and I woke up around 7:30AM to go shopping which is pretty late compared to those that camped out all night outside of Bestbuy and what not to buy their super duper electronics. Mom and I ended up at Macy's first, but I didn't really have any interest there since their make up isn't on sale, like ever. I told mom that I'll shop around myself and meet her back at Macy's. I walked to Sephora and got the Tarina Tarintino Sparklicity Shimmer and made my way to The Northface store. I came here about a month ago looking for a windproof jacket and I found the one I was looking for. I came back on Black Friday so I could purchase it! It's so awesome, and a great investment. It's been raining lately and what better to pair up with my pink rain boots that everyone is jealous of! HAHAHA. Then I went to Old Navy in search for some clothes for honeybee. I got him a pair of jeans for $15 only!!! Regular price was $40!!! What a steal! And I bought a fleece jacket for his brother. Of course I had to wait in line for like an hour before I got to the register. I met up with mom and left. Then I went online to do some more shopping, got an 8GB iTouch 4th gen for honey, circle lens, and some shoes. :) Also got my Daiso loot! Then went home to chill for a little bit then I went over to Jon's to hang out with the crew. 4MUL2 that is. :) HEHE. I don't recall what we did, but I'm assuming it was eating dessert.

The next morning I went to yum cha with honey around the neighborhood. It was nice to feel so Asian just him and I eating dim sum. :) I think we should do it more often. I'm thinking of taking a day off of work to just relax and eat breakfast at a nice restaurant somewhere.

Day after day I finally got my packages in the mail. I got my first pair of circle lens in Geo Angel! They're my favorite so far. :) I got the 8GB iTouch 4th gen in the mail too(it's honey's Thanksgiving gift) and my shoes!

Essentially, I was going to buy honey an iTouch case with nothing in it. Then he'll ask me why I bought it because he doesn't even own an iTouch, so then I bust out the present and he opens it and he'll be a happy camper! HAHA, too bad I didn't have enough time to go find a nice case for his new iTouch. :/ Oh well, he's a happy camper regardless!

I absolutely love my new circle lens! And I'm prepared to purchase more! Yes, I am conforming! /)___(\ What are you guys and gals' favorite circle lens? Color? Type?

Anyways, if you guys are reading my tweets, yes I am slowly weening myself off of the dependency of makeup. :(

I usually don't wear too much make up anyways, unless it's a super special occasion. My basic makeup routine is eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and filling in the brows. Nothing too special. I don't do the whole prime my face, foundation, and setting powder, so essentially my flaws are open to everyone. Anyways, I remember when I used to look alright with just a line of eyeliner and that was my routine! I feel like I've been piling on the makeup lately, so I'm trying to change it. Lately I've only been wearing eyeliner and mascara. I've been doing so for about a week already. The first day was awful, I felt super ugly, but now it feels a bit empowering. I'm starting to feel like I look okay without so much makeup! Yay me! ♥

Anyways, today was the last official day of class! I'm so happy, but here comes finals, which I should be studying for. Damn I hate essay questions. :( Do you guys have finals too? :(

I'm going to be busy for winter break!!! So much stuff to do. Hehe. Moreover, my winter break will definitely be eventful.
