Firstly, I’m sure if you follow my blog, you’ll know how much I preach about my hatred for skinny jeans. I guess I should clarify something… I only can’t stand skinny jeans on unskinny people when they wear it with flats or Converse shoes!!! I think some people can pull it off but a lot of them can’t. Skinnies with boots are okay because they’re tucked in and skinnies with stilettos are sexy if you have the legs for it. SO I guess I don’t hate skinnies entirely… hopefully you guys don’t hate me that much!

This weekend I…

• Took the kids to EA’s Halloween party (for kids) at Stanley Park. I was thinking it was going to be lame (shh I’m just kidding) but t’was fun, the kids had a blast, the magician even made me laugh and the snacks were yummy… plus the best cupcakes in the world were present. *slurp
• Sat outside in the freezing cold with the niece and nephew to watch Boyfriend’s soccer game. Well the longest I concentrated on the game was about 20 seconds so I don’t know if you consider that “watching.” We went to the playground instead.
• Bummed around Boyfriend’s house and finished The Sword of Shannara trilogy (hrm, I need to get a life). It was very reminiscent of Lord of the Rings but I give it a 10/10: LOVED IT!! Niece: Guess what Auntie Katy, my book has 84 pages and I’m on chapter 2! How many pages does yours have? Me: 1200…
• The good thing was that Boyfriend willingly slaved away and cooked for me all weekend while I stayed in and enjoyed my book. I lover him. HEHEHE.
• Ordered some books online because you can’t go wrong with $2 books at Chapters! I hate it when I don’t have time to read, but I love it because I do (at the moment).

Hmmm… this is my kinda weekend.

*Figuring out what Boyfriend can be this Halloween…

Nephew: I know Chu-Loa, you can be a booger and then I can pick you out!”

*Later on after we told him he was funny so he tried another one but failed…

Nephew: You can be my butt and I can poop you out!
Boyfriend: How can you poop me out?

*After someone suggested he should be the Burger King king or a chicken or a tree…

Niece: Chu-Loa… if you’re a tree, dogs will pee on you…

*Out of nowhere…

Niece: Chu-Loa… boo!
Boyfriend: What?
Niece: *gets mad* You’re suppose to be scared!!!!
Boyfriend: Oh. Ahhhhhhhhh!

It’s so cute because they say it so matter-of-factly. Hehehe.

Anyway, Crystal suggested I do a post on bags since I’ve never written a post about them… but then I’m not a huge bag-person (yet) *gasp* so there wouldn’t be much to write about; maybe in a couple gazillion years when I can justify spending $1000+ on a purse. But here goes: I don’t care much for brands as long as it looks good but my bags have to be huge since I carry around a shizzload of stuff with me and usually has to fit a very thick and heavy book because of my geeky nature (which Boyfriend doesn’t seem to like much because I don’t listen to his babbling when I’m reading). When I DO get a new bag I usually end up carrying it around for like 2 months before switching because I’m too lazy to move my stuff. I don’t like Juicy Couture bags because the designs, colors and the fabric are too teenybopper-ish for my taste. I don’t like LV monogram bags because I prefer [their] leather bags that DON’T have their logo plastered all over although I’m guilty because I have Coach purses with their logo all over it, BUT all those purses were gifts; I wouldn’t waste my hard-earned dollaz on them myself although if you’d like to buy one for me, I’ll still use it… ahaha. So here’s my little post excerpt on bags, Crystal. :blush:

This is when you know you’ve run of out things to blog about…

Good night, Momo. ♥

Cholesterol + screaming filled night.

Trieu playing Rockband with the kids and getting his arse kicked.

Big bouncy castle fun.

Where’s Waldo?

Haha love *E’s expression!

A night I’d like to forget and never relive again.

This weekend I:

• Fell in love with the weather when it became cold and wet… time to pull out the jackets, scarves and boots!! Actually I already started weeks ago… when it was still sunny. I’m sorry but I couldn’t wait any longer. Anyway, I’m lucky I’m not in school anymore or else I’d be complaining 24/7 since I’d be bussing in the rain!
• Pigged out like crazy and gained back all the weight I lost (when Boyfriend went on vacation). This is what happens when you have a boyfriend… all you do is eat. Plus his mom’s home-cooked Vietnamese food is sooo good.
• Went for dim sum and FINALLY got my chicken feet. Mmm. Total satisfaction.
• Went to an Asian supermarket and went crazy with junkfood, green tea, snacks …and 2 chickens.
• Watched Traitor, Pulse (retarded but I was in a mood for a “scary” movie) and Nim’s Island. Nim’s Island has been on PPV for weeks and I can’t believe I never watched it until now… it’s one of those guilty pleasure kids’ movies that I love. :blush:
• Had the most satisfying bubble tea. Ever. At Bubble Queen in Richmond.
• Learned how to say “I don’t know how to speak Vietnamese” in Viet because some people in Boyfriend’s family keep on forgetting and I’m just standing there nodding awkwardly and pretend I know what’s going on while they babble away… then I run away when they turn around. Now my Viet vocabulary has expanded from “eat rice,” “go home,” “pussy-face” and “noodles.”
• Went on a hunt for Asian fashion magazines.
• Resisted the temptation to buy more books. It was hard because even Boyfriend was nice about it when I said I wanted to go to Chapters (since it IS my third home). He usually complains and acts as if it’s the end of the world.
• Worked, worked, worked and worked. Managed to roll out 4 mock ups.

Mochi a little frazzled after rolling around my bed and needing a hair cut (I was washing my sheets so that’s why my bed is bare).

Cutest little girl ever! ♥

• Came home Friday after work, fell asleep until 1am.
• Slept in till noon on both Saturday and Sunday.
• Finally got to talk to Boyfriend … yay he’s coming back tomorrow! ?
• Re-stocked my Bonne Bell Eye Definers in Black Ink.
• Read Chasing Daylight by Eugene O’Kelly
• Found my missing press powder (in my friend’s car)!
• Went to Pop Opera again— SECOND-WORST CLUB IN THE WORLD; it’s basically Fabric but with a Caucasian (instead of Asian) crowd… I don’t even remember 686′s ventilation system being that bad.
• Ate McDonalds for the first time in months at 3am (then woke up the next morning feeling like shit).
• Sat on a tiny piece of my dog’s shit … it was on the stairs and the lights were off and I sat right on it (I had my boots on and didn’t wanna take them off so I was crawling up the stairs to get something for a friend so my dad doesn’t bitch at me). Now there’s dog crap on a pair of my Rock and Republics… god, that was traumatizing (mostly because I ruined my jeans).
• Had a lot of good LOLs and ROFLS.
• Began reading 2012 by Whitney Strieber. I totally anticipated this book and even pre-ordered it, but it sat on my bookshelf for a whole year before I even opened it.

Totally looking forward to next weekend when things will return “back to normal” a.k.a. no more partying and Boyfriend and his family will all be back in town (he’s in Vegas and most of them are in Vietnam). Yay. I felt like we haven’t had our regular bumming/chilling/pigging-out weekends (at his house or his brother’s) in months and I’m so sick of going out.
