Froyo and more

I had somewhat of a fruitful day with Amylatte yesterday. :)

We planned on going shopping on Union street for a while now, and we finally made the trip yesterday. But before we went to Union street, we made a stop at our local mall for a Valentine's day gift.

I shopped around Target and bought necessary necessities that I've been needing for a while. Had my blue index card and everything! Yes, it's that time of the year again. Allergy season, I have an awful case of hay fever which includes itchy eyes and congested sinuses. Included in my list was allergy eye drops for contact wearers. Unfortunately I had no luck in finding the aforementioned, but I did buy the allergy eye drops for my mom. For all you allergy sufferers, what are your allergy season cures?

After Target, I saw my friend Justin and stopped for a couple of seconds to chat with him. After we went to Daiso because I was looking for a screen protector for my new camera! :) While in Daiso, I bought a calendar and some hair rollers (velcro).

After Daiso, Amylatte and I left and went to go get some delicious froyo. I wish they had the lemon rice pudding again, but I tried it last time and I wanted to try something new. I picked the vanilla base with peach. I could feel the chunks of vanilla in my mouth as well as the peaches! It was really tart, the way that froyo is supposed to be, but I like mine a little sweeter. We stayed at Loving Cup for a while to chat and finish our froyo. I really wanted to drink a latte from La Boulange, but time wouldn't allow it. After finishing our froyo, we walked around for a bit to see if there was anywhere to go shopping, we didn't get lost, but no luck in finding any cute shops to shop in.

We decided finally to give up and re-do our shopping day. We made our way to Sally's beauty supply. I really wanted to check out OPI Katy Perry's Black Shatter, but no luck in finding it. I just read that China Glaze has the crackle polishes in different colors as well. I totally want it!!! I opted for buying two combs and a pair of falsies.

After going to Sally's, Amylatte decided we should have a mini double date and eat dessert, since we both hadn't eaten dessert in a while. We both went home at this point and said we'll meet up at 8:30pm.

At 8:30pm, we went to the dessert house and sat down for a bit. I ordered my delicious 芝麻汤圆. All of us talked for a bit, mostly looking at my new camera.

She's cute.

新年快乐, 恭喜发财

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEARS!!!

Just here to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Years! (Cue "恭喜, 恭喜, 恭喜你" song.) It's a new year, so out with the old! Don't hold onto grudges (they'll eat you alive and you'll turn into Ju-On), try something new, do things you want to do without others holding you back, be independent!

Well anyways, yesterday was Chinese New Years Eve! My family and I always celebrate on CNYE. Somewhat of a big thing for us. My mom works hard to clean the house and prepare a large dinner for all of us. ♥ And I must admit that CNYE is the MOST liveliest day of the new year for my family.

I actually ended up having 2 dinners. One with my mom's side of the family and one with my dad's side of the family. The first dinner was with my mom's side of the family. And because my mom's side is from Northern China, we are most famous for our 水饺. My grandma makes the best damn pot stickers and dumplings! (I remember I asked my mom how to cook the pot stickers and it took a while for me to get it. I still don't think I cook it well. Cooking the dumplings is an art as well as making them.)

Every CNYE, we have this dumpling tradition, my mom and grandma wrap the red dates into selected dumplings and cooks them. And whoever eats the red dates gets a 红包. First person to get the red date dumpling gets a larger amount in the 红包 than the rest. This year, my mom wrapped 5 red dates into the dumplings. Mom totally rigged it because she was the one who wrapped the dumpling and put money into the 红包. AND WHAT?! SHE GOT THE FIRST RED DATE DUMPLING! Daddy got the second one and I got the third one. My 红包 only got $2! We have no idea what happened to the 4th and 5th red date dumplings, maybe grandpa and uncle ate them and didn't know. (Reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!!!)

I ate a whole bunch of dumplings last night and I was damn full! Not too long after I had to eat another dinner with my dad's side of the family. Big tummy full of 水饺 still hadn't digested so I was basically screwed... CNYE with my dad's side is a really big deal. We bust out the candles and incense and set up the table for our ancestors and 拜神. After we're done 拜神-ing, the eating commences! I ate a heaping bowl of rice, black fungus, fish, and peanuts. So full at this moment @___@' After we eat our rice we have to drink soup. I swear I almost fell asleep at the dinner table from my food coma. Grandma and auntie started passing out the 红包 to everyone after we ate. I watched some Chinese television while eating the 黑瓜子. Another tradition is to watch the big CNYE show in Beijing on TV. I took a shower and washed my hair since we're not allowed to wash our hair in fear of washing our luck away. In Chinese, hair = tou fa, fa=luck. And then I fell asleep. I slept until 12:30pm today... maybe it was the food coma.

What did you guys do on Chinese New Years Eve? What are you guys' traditions for Chinese New Years Eve?

Have a great Chinese New Years everyone! ♥

LOL, this picture of me is so ugly (not fishing for compliments, so you need not put anything like "oh you look so cute", stfu. This pic is ugly to me at least). Hayyy, look issuh a rabbit! (Okay, okay doesn't look like a rabbit, but... it is! SO STFU! ♥)

P.S. TWITTER RETURNED MY 4,000+ TWEETS! ME SO HAPPY. (Okay, nothing really to be happy about but Idc!)

恭喜, 恭喜, 恭喜你

LOTS OF STUFF!

Okay so recently, I've been purchasing a lot of stuff over the internet. My latest obsession with makeup brushes and makeup in general and etc.

Starting off with Sheer Cover. I always see the infomercial for this product and I feel like it would be better than Bare Minerals. So I bought it! :) It comes in a super cool travel bag. My Sheer Cover order came with a ton of free stuff too! I got a lengthening mascara, two bottles of skin care, a mini kabuki brush for on-the-go, a concealer and powder compact for on-the-go, a little baggy for the on-the-go stuff, and a little compact with mirror with lip-glosses and highlighters. So exciting! I put it on today, but I did a really crappy job because I was rushing for school. A quick job doesn't do the makeup or my face any justice, but I'll try it when I have time to. If it still doesn't work out then I'll reconsider buying it again. Which reminds me that I should call customer service and tell them to cancel my monthly subscription.

Next up! I bought fake eyelashes. Fake eyelashes are my shit, forreals! :) Amylatte has seen my collection, so she knows wsup. When I went to Taiwan, the night markets sold falsies in boxes of at least 10 pairs, so I wondered to myself, why don't they do that in the US?! (Totally wishing I was back in Taiwan as of right now. So much cute stuff! @__@) So I amazoned packs of eyelashes and I ordered a couple of boxes! I really like the falsies that are extremely long at the ends, Idk, I just really like the ends of my eyelashes to be long and curly. Can't wait to use them!

Last! I made a purchase on E.L.F. These brushes are super cheap and super b0$$!~ The least expensive ones are like $1.00 and the most expensive are around $3.00! SUPER CHEAP LOR!~ Had to get them! Plus they were on sale! 50% off!!! What a steal!!!!!!!! 50% off means, $1.00 = $.50. 50 CENTS! SO DAMN CHEAP! Must get many. Sadly, the stippling brush and the kabuki brush was out of stock. :( Which is mad sad, but I already have a stippling brush from ecotools, so its alright I guess. I'm still lusting over the kabuki brush though. Also got a free gift from E.L.F for inviting people to E.L.F.

Also! Got one pair of wedges! :) I am totally in love with shoes that are 41/2 inches and up. I don't really consider them heels if their not. « Sound like bitch or what? Whatever, which is why you probably won't find me in heels all too often. Too much work and I like to walk fast.

Not sure if you guys noticed but I tried to change my username to flrlmnstr (floralmonster) Idk I just like the name. And if you try to take it, you're dumb because it's already taken by me! I don't feel like restarting all my hits and stuff so I wanted to move it to a different e-mail account and stuff. /Sigh. I don't really want to move it anymore, because that means I'll have to re-do all the names and stuff. :( I'll do it soon tho! What do you think about my new username?

Also need help on deciding on a new point and shoot camera. I want an ultra-slim, sleek and portable camera, with decent quality I suppose. I'm looking at the Canon Powershot SD1400IS, but its not a 2011 model (what I mean is that its already a couple of years old and I'm afraid they'll come out with a better one for the same price) and I'm looking forward to all you photography buffs to help me! A newer version of the Canon Powershot SD1400IS would be nice. Perhaps they are coming out with a new camera similar to it? Tell meee!

P.S. Do you guys notice something about my pictures? ;)

Winter break over. School starting

So I started school on Tuesday, which sucked. But I'm totally excited for yoga class! I had it this morning and I'm looking forward to the next sessions, and if all goes well. I think I'm going to join Bikram yoga, which is yoga done in 105 degrees! Sweat that fat out!

So school, has been whack and I don't enjoy people in my class asking all these dumb questions that are directed at me and the teacher. What a waste of time. Excuse me if I'm being a bitch, but too damn bad! I just hate when the teacher takes damn long at the beginning of school and then they rush the rest of the material at the end of the course! Which leaves me no time to ask questions or even to understand the materials.

I think I did a good job in choosing my teachers this semester. I went to ratemyprofessor.com to check each and every one of those teachers ratings. Some teachers definitely need to be blacklisted but some are good.

And since school was starting, I had to go on my search for a composition notebook. So honey and I went on a Target errand. Is it freaking me or does no one sell them anymore? I found an ad in the Target catalog that sold composition notebooks for $1! But they're not the original ones. These have different designs, but I bought 2 of them anyway. I decided to buy some lotion as well. I used Aquaphor for my tattoo and Aquaphor is manufactured by Eucerin, so I bought a large tube of Eucerin calming lotion and a small tube of lightly scented daily skin balance. So stupid of me to read the ingredients after I buy them, but they seem to have a lot of chemicals? Perhaps I should switch back to Aveeno lotion instead. I have super dry knees and elbows (not enough hydration). And when I was in Vegas, I felt my hands getting dry so I put on some hotel complementary lotion. It started itching and burning my hand!!! Little did I know, the top of my hand had micro splits, that could barely be seen with the naked eye, which is why the lotion burned my hand. My hand feels much better, but I have to remember to hydrate my skin every night with the large tube of lotion. (I forget which lotion brand advertised that you skin will get softer the more often you use it, some one care to tell me?)

I bought some new tubes of mascara because I'm long overdue for a new one. (I think I'm in love with lash blast.) I bought Maybelline One by One, Maybelline Great Lash, and Maybelline Falsies. Great lash is awful, the wand is too small, and doesn't even grab my lashes. I think the One by One is pretty good, it grabs my lashes pretty well, and I can continue to build up the lashes. I haven't tried the Falsies yet, but I heard it's pretty good. I still feel a tiny bit iffy about these and I'll go back to my lash blast later on in the future. What are you girls' favorite mascara?

Also took the liberty to buy some highlighters! I remember Yuko bought me a really nice pink highlighter from Japan and it was the frixon kind that you can erase, but it's all dried up now. :(

AND! If you guys have been following/reading my tweets, I've been super obsessed with blushes lately. I just don't think that using my bronzer as blush has been cutting it. Usually when I put on a full face of makeup, I use bronzer as blush, it looks alright IRL, but it just doesn't show up very well in photos. So I've been keen on the idea that I should go out and buy some blush! In addition, I turned obsessive with makeup brushes as well. I purchased some ecotools brushes and e.l.f. brushes (which have yet to come). AHH! So happy! :'D

And then... I ordered some sheercover! I haven't the slightest clue why I was so compelled to purchase sheercover over bare minerals, but I feel like bare minerals is too hyped up? Maybe it's the creamy concealer and all the free gifts in there, but I'm very excited to try it!

I'd also like to know from you gals, for those of you that use Maybelline's dream mousse concealer in the little glass container if you like it. Do you???

I also received a cute little chocolate covered marshmellow from honey's aunt! It looks and tastes so good! @___@ I hope I'll be able to do these things when I'm older, as in middle aged and making scrapbooks.

My Target loot!

No more composition books from MEAD?
