I’m sick which means I have a valid excuse to fill out a survey stolen from Lisa and not publish a proper blog entry (whatever that means). :P I changed the title because I don’t like to consider myself a “fashionista.” You should see me on some of my lazy days… you’ll totally want to stick fashion-faux-pas stickers all over me.

Who is your favorite designer?
Coco Chanel, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Wang.

If you could come back as a dress, what would it be?

Dior

This haute couture dress was wayy back from Dior's Fall 2007 collection but I just love the color (and the head-piece)!

If you could come back as a model, who would it be?

Gwen Lu

Gwen Lu

Hyun Yi Lee

I also love Hyun Yi Lee's look (these are two of my favorite editorials).

Junk food?

POUTINE GOODNESS.

POUTINE GOODNESS. Great minds think alike! And here's a giant picture of it to make you drool.

What are you most vain about?
Just presenting myself in general …unless I’m lazy and would rather sleep in.

What are you most shy about?
My feet? I hate feet and I have ugly feet.

Who are your fantasy dinner-party guests?

Marie and Georgiana

Marie Antoinette and Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. I consider both of them the queens of fashion in their time yet they both had such a tragic life.

Fantasy celebrity one-night stand?

<strong/>Jaebeom from 2PM” class=”size-full wp-image-5198″ /><p class=Jaebeom from 2PM. Those guys can't really sing but they sure can dance!

Favorite place to have a drink?
I don’t like sipping on drinks… so maybe at a club taking hard shots. Fruity drinks are for FRUITS!

Underwear?
Anything that doesn’t show an ugly line!

What can’t you travel without?
My purse … WITH EVERYTHING IN IT (wallet, camera, iPod, BB, lip gloss, etc.).

Last book you read?
Last book I finished (finally) was On the Beach by Nevil Shute.

They are the last generation, the innocent victims of an accidental war, living out their last days, making do with what they have, hoping for a miracle. As the deadly rain moves ever closer, the world as we know it winds toward an inevitable end…

At age seven, you wanted to be…
I think I wanted to either be a pediatrician or a surgeon but then late in my senior year at high school, I realized that academics isn’t my thing.

What’s the thing you find easiest to forgive?
Anything.

What’s the thing you find impossible to forgive?
Nothing, I never linger on the past… just forget about it and move on. Well, unless someone borrowed my books and ripped the pages then that’s a different story.

Biggest self-indulgence?
FOOD. :P

Favorite place to shop [brick and mortar]?
Zara, American Apparel, Mimi McQueen, Bebe, Forever 21, H&M, etc.. I shop anywhere and everywhere.

Favorite place to shop online?
Depends for what. I’m always browsing for books on Amazon, also love Asos, Top Shop, Patricia Field Online, Charlotte Russe and TONS more.

Whose diary would you most like to read?
My puppy’s (assuming she could write) because I always wonder what the hell she’s thinking.

Mochi sleeping and in need of a hair cut.

Mochi sleeping (or pretending to because she doesn't want to listen to my annoying nonsense) and in need of a hair cut.

Least favorite food?
Can’t think of anything specific but I’m not a huge fan of spicy foods … boyfriend threw a pepper into my rice bowl once and I ate it and was on the ground for like 2 hours dying. I can’t take the heat!!

If you were an inventor, what would you invent?
Something that would automatically wash and condition my make up brushes. Washing brushes is the biggest chore in the world when you have so many yet you can’t not do it.

Who are your favorite furniture designers?
My dream home would consist of Clive Christian’s furniture but I’d mix it up and modernize it a little more with Roberto Ventura’s designs.

By Roberto Ventura

Car?
I just want a nice SUV… nothing fancy. I love the Lexus RX400H.

What was your childhood nickname?
Chi-chi (I think it was derived from my Chinese name) but pronounced Gi-gi.

When and where are you happiest?
In my bed sleeping in and not having to wake up early.

What piece of art would you most like to own?
An original Alfons Mucha.

What are your favorite vacation spots?
I haven’t taken many vacations but my ideal vacation hot spots aren’t your typical beachy places but it’d be places where you can totally experience culture and has tons of history. I’d be sight-seeing and visiting old temples— not lying on a beach.

Most treasured possession?
My computer hard drive (total nerd answer).

Favorite fictional character?

Legolas

Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Come here you hot, white-haired elf.

Favorite musicians?
SS501, Big Bang, 2PM, Epik High, Wonder Girls, Jinusean, etc. I remember I was obsessed with Korean hip hop back in my preteen days (the YG Family were my gods) and now the obsession is back but this time it has also spread to K-Pop— I have shamefully turned into what they call a “fan girl” once again. I also love Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Cold Play and Lady Gaga but Asian music I can’t understand FTW (did I just say FTW?)!

KOREAN MUSIC ARTISTS

If you had another profession beside your own, what would it be?
Either a hair stylist or something to do with fashion. I’d consider a professional blogger but I have a feeling I won’t enjoy it as much if it were to become a “job.”

What current trends would you like to see disappear?
Skinny jeans and converse and the most obvious … dun dun dun … ED HARDY. Don’t worry, I don’t judge people who wear Ed Hardy (haha) but I would just never wear it myself. Well, unless Boyfriend wears it then I’ll TOTALLY judge his ass because he should know better. Anyway, I came across another nasty trend that will be added to my list of hatred:

Skinny Harem Jeans

Skinny Harem Jeans. Ah.

Favorite trend of all time?
Jeans tucked into boots and statement jewelry.

Always…
…eat without feeling guilty. Good food means a good life. Mmm. ;) *waits for all the health-nuts to beat me up*

Never…
…let what other people think or say get to you.

Professional bloggers don’t fill out surveys … thank god I’m not one. ;)
*Stolen from the oh-so-sexy-Pinkilicious-Pam!

Boys Over Flowers What is your current obsession?
Korean culture!! Actually, I’ve always loved Korean culture but my obsession just got another kick after finishing Boys Over Flowers.

What is your weirdest obsession?
There was a [very early] point in my life when I was OBSESSED with the WWE (when it was still called WWF)… so obsessed I would tape every WWE episode on TV. Can you imagine how high my stack of VHS tapes were? *hangs head in shame*

What are you wearing today?
Black boots, True Religion jeans, black tank (Mimi McQueen), white v-neck tee (Zara), gray short-sleeved cardigan (Mantique) and chains and necklaces.

What’s your favorite comfort food?
POUTINES that goes right to my ass. YUM.

What would you like to learn to do?
Learn how to cut/dye hair … and how to sew but haven’t been able to get my lazy arse to start that yet. Boyfriend keeps on nagging me because he wants me to hem his jeans but I’m like WHY DON’T YOU LEARN?! He’s so lazy! *shifty eyes*

GO CANUCKS GO!! What’s the last thing you bought?
Got “ko0ty” stitched onto my Canucks jersey. Most places only do caps and NO lowercase nor numbers which is all I wanted and they actually did it for me so I think I’m the only one around without caps on their jersey. :cheer: I was totally against all caps because “KOOTY” looks too much like “cutie.” Yuck.

What are you listening to right now?
Drunken Tiger – Stairs from Heaven

What is your favorite kind of weather?
Sunny but kinda cool outside— looks nice out yet I can still bundle up.

What is your most challenging goal right now?
Learning Korean. I’m only at “no” (anio). :|

If you could have three houses totally paid for and fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Only three?! That’s hard. New York, somewhere in the English country side where I can raise horses and somewhere in Asia.

What would you like to have in your hands at right now?
A huge juicy poutine. Haven’t had one in months… I think I deserve one! :P

If you could swap lives with anyone for one day who would it be and why?
Someone extremely skinny so I’d eat the entire day and not have to feel guilty [for all the poutines, black bean chicken feet, carne asada fries, green mango popsicles and all that stuff I just consumed into his/her body]. But then it’s not my body… hmmm.

If you would go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
I want to be in Korean on a Korean game show because they’re too freaking hilarious (but then any Asian game show is). I’m soo bored of North American culture. Zzzz. I’ve decided I want to move back to Asia sometime in my life but then I’d have to fully learn an Asian language first… I’m Chinese and can’t even speak it properly. *head is still down in shame*

Which language do you wanna learn?
Annyeong-haseyo! I want to watch Korean dramas without subtitles! If I do succeed (AHAHA), I wanna take a stab at Japanese too (AHAHA).

What do you look for in a friend?
Someone who will go out of the way for you, is trustworthy and doesn’t cause drama and hold grudges.

Who do you want to meet in person?
KIM HYUN JOONG. ♥ Sigh. I’ll have to make plans with my sexy Korean friend, *J, to go to Korea to stalk him. My only complaint is that Asian guys are too feminine and most of them are prettier me but then it’s accepted in their culture so I can get use to it. It’d benefit a lot of guys here too; GUYS, IT’S OKAY TO WEAR MAKE UP!

What’s your favorite type of music?
Old rock, K-Pop, R&B and country … and anything with a good beat.

backinskinnyjeans.com Any favorite blogger?
My favorites blogs at the moment are Pam’s, Cindy’s, Elena’s Tea at Trianon and Stephanie’s Back in the Skinny Jeans.

Things you wish you could change in the past?
I say don’t live with regrets… but that’s a lie because I do have ONE regret. When I was little, I had a loose tooth and was too scared to pull it out so a new one started growing behind it. If I wasn’t such a chickenshit when I was little, I would’ve had PERFECTLY straight teeth right now! You can’t really notice that one crooked tooth but still… I should go back to the past and beat myself up for being an idiot. :@

Fashion Pet Peeve?
Skinny jeans with converse shoes and Ed Hardy.

Do you admire anyone’s stye?
Nicole Ricchie, Victoria Beckham, Kat Von D and Michelle.

Describe your personal style?
I don’t have one defined style… I dress depending on how I feel AND how lazy I am that day. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with arm warmers and fingerless gloves after I found an old pair at the back of my closet so I’m going to work it until the weather gets too hot. THEN I’m going to try start a fan trend (idea stolen from Becca). LOL. BECCA, PLEASE JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON so we don’t have to suffer in the summer and in clubs when it gets soo hot. We may look like prissy bitches but they’re pretty and versatile so screw what everyone thinks. ;)

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
I’m boring so I can’t decide between chocolate and vanilla.

What’s your favorite makeup brand?
Mac for eyes and lips and Clinique/Dior for face.

Do you get enough beauty sleep? Yes or no? why?
No, I’ve probably been getting less than 6 hours of sleep every night for the past 9 years. Sleep is a waste of time (which is a hypocritical comment since I’ve just shortened my life span by a couple of years).

Why did you start your blog?
I’ve been blogging since I was 12! Wonder what I use to write about back in the day? Getting “high” (off-sugar) with my girlfriends after drinking Volt and stocking up on 5-cent candy at the corner store. And stuff like that.

1 love

Couch Potato’ing

Personal, Visual Media

What are your top 5 TV shows?

TV Shows

 

  1. Lost
  2. Grey’s Anatomy
  3. Jon and Kate Plus 8
  4. The Real Housewives of Orange County
  5. Girls Next Door

I also love 24 (but waiting for season to be over to start watching) and Gossip Girl (but usually catch that online). I don’t use to watch a lot of TV but I’m turning into a TV nut!

Anyway, today is Wednesday. HAPPY LOST DAY!! :blush:
Sigh. I love Wednesdays.

  1. I use to write letters to Santa when I was little and I got a letter back from the “North Pole” every year. A couple of years ago when I was thinking about it, I realized it was my dad who wrote all those letters but I was too young then to recognize the fobbed out Chinglish. ♥ Now I can’t wait to play Santa for my kids (minus the oversized belly)!
  2. I’m addicted to working out and am constantly planning on when I’m going to go next. If I lived closer to the gym, I’d probably go every day. The funny thing is that I could care less about being thin or eating healthy… so I’m not one of those anorexic-bitches who go to the gym because they’re so self-conscious about their weight! I’ll joke about it but I really could care less so with that being said, I can’t stand it when grossly skinny people complain about their weight. It’s like [as quoted from *J]… hello, you already have no curves!!
  3. I want to own a beautiful mansion in New Orleans’ St. Charles Avenue.

    Mansion on St. Charles Avenue

    Mansions on St. Charles Avenue.

  4. My daughter(s’) names will be Kaila (not Kay-la but Kai-la), Kimora and Khloe; in that order but I doubt I’d have that many kids. If I have boys, their names would start with the first letter of my husband’s name. I know, I’m lame like that.
  5. I’m brutally honest. If you ask, I’ll tell you straight-up what I think and I know it’s mean, but I usually won’t care if I hurt any feelings …unless it’s a good friend.

If you’re on my blogrollI tag you!!

  1. My Bookshelf

    A glimpse into a part of my bookshelf. ♥

    If you ever need to buy me a gift, don’t get me clothes or make up… buy me books (or a gift certificate to Amazon.ca or Chapters)!
  2. My boyfriend never gets sick even when I’m deathly sick and sharing food and sleeping beside him. The reason? He never takes medicine so he has a super strong immune system unlike us weakasses who depend on our meds to keep us sane. He also has perfect eye sight and NO ALLERGIES; when it’s hay fever season, he just stares and me what wonders how a runny nose and congested sinus be so bad. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, BOYFRIEND!!
  3. I use to kiss my Brian Littrell poster before I go to bed at night when I was 11. That’s what you call a teenybopper at her best.
  4. I’m a pro at falling asleep anywhere (just not at home). Example: I fell asleep at karaoke last weekend because I was sooo tired (even WITH the alcohol around) but when I got home at 4am, I had so much energy I almost went to workout.
  5. I’m a SUV-girl (and so is mine and boyfriend’s family). I don’t like driving small cars and driving behind an SUV/van/truck if I’m driving one so I’d rather be one those people in the bigger cars pissing other people off.
