This weekend I:

    Asian Snacks & Stuff

  • 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
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! ♥

This weekend I…

Friends & Family, Shopping, Weekends

  • 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 shizz).
  • Sat on a tiny piece of my dog’s shit :o … 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. Hahaha.
  • Began reading 2012 by Whitney Strieber. I totally anticipated this book and pre-ordered it but it sat on my bookshelf for a whole year before I got to it.

@ Pop Opera

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.

I will reply to comments sometime tomorrow. :) I also need to fix my Library page which I’ve been putting off for a while.

Teenyboppers at Heart

Friends & Family, Visual Media

Backstreet Boys

THE BACKSTREET BOYS CONCERT WAS SOOOOOO AWESOME!!! N and I got 7th row floor tickets (don’t remember where the other girls were sitting though) and we were gushing the whole time how close we were to the guys. I nearly teared up when they started singing I’ll Never Break Your Heart and got so excited when they started singing Larger Than Life. Talk about teenybopper moment! Once a BSB fan, always a BSB fan. GM Place was packed and the screaming was incredible; it’s amazing how they’ve been together for 15+ years (well minus Kevin) yet their fans are still so extremely loyal. I wish I got more pictures but this time I decided to enjoy it rather than spend my time snapping and recording away which I did in their 2005 concert. I got one picture though where Brian looked straight into my camera and waved (probably because my camera took so long to stabilize and the flash was right in his face) but the picture turned out all blurry!! :( Oh well. They’ll be back.

Girlicious

Girlicious opened for them which was another reason why I really wanted to go to the concert. I LOVE those girls because they’re hot and I actually enjoyed their album although the reality TV show really annoyed me (until the last couple episodes). My favorite songs of theirs are Still in Love and Already Gone. Hehehe. We went to Pop Opera right after the concert where they were partying it up in the VIP area, drinking Gray Goose and eating pizza but they swarmed by fans and cameras… it felt like a zoo; I felt bad for the but I guess they’re use to this treatment. I got separate pictures of Chrystina and Nichole smiling into my camera again because of my annoying flash (didn’t even bother trying to get a picture with them) but only the one with Nichole turned out.

The Girls

I swear N and I didn’t plan our outfits! We were almost wearing the exact same thing; black shorts, suede boots and both our outfits had gold in it (belts, zippers, etc). We just didn’t know whether to dress for clubbing or for a concert. LOL.

This weekend I…

  • lost my eyeliner AGAIN
  • lost my press powder AGAIN
  • lost my favorite lip gloss AGAIN (I was so depressed)
  • bought a new camera (Canon SD1100 in pink) and almost lost it too
  • almost left my Blackberry in the cab
  • got someone’s puke all over my favorite jacket
  • got kicked out of ATL and Aubar two nights in a row (well my girlfriend did)

… t’was one hell of a weekend.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but the last couple of weeks, I’ve been having trouble putting on my fake eyelashes (it use to take only 2 minutes!!) … and I ripped a lot of it out when taking it off so I’m semi-eyelash-less right now. Gross? Yep. I also ruined my last two sets of my favorite Ardell lashes so I had to order more (got 4 new sets). I know I have a billion others but those were my favorite. :(

I started using this hair treatment that Boyfriend’s sister-in-law got for me from a beauty supplier because my hair was so fried and I’ve used it twice and it’s already made such a HUGE difference! I don’t remember the name of it but I’ll post it when I get home tomorrow evening; I think you need a salon license to actually buy it though. I’m excited because I want to nurse my hair back to health since I don’t plan on getting it professionally done until I go back to Asia [to do it] next year…. I’m thinking of dying it a dark espresso brown and let it grow out (but that also means I’ll need a new set of extensions for those special nights).

Haven’t been shopping in a while (aside from a camera and fake lashes), so next week I’ll be on a look-out for new boots and tunic sweaters.

I’ve been in such a bad mood all weekend (that is, until the drinks started hitting) and it’s funny because my cousins are here and they’re always here when I’m moody. I think it’s the lack of sleep and maybe because I’ve been in TOO good of a mood the last couple of weeks …being the bitter and pessimistic person that I am. It’s tiring man. I don’t know how you guys do it all the time.

GOOGLE CHROME (beta) WILL BE RELEASED TODAY! I’ll be installing it on my computer at work when I get to the office in a couple of hours if the download is released by then. Can’t wait to test it out!
