• Was all the planning-stress worth it? I guess so.
• Do it again next year? After 3 years of it, NO. We’re getting a travel agent next time.
• Like always, unfair share of housework.
• But hot tub and sun made up for it (although it sounds a bit ironic together).
• Beach: Saturday was hot and sunny. Sunday was a lot more windy so we chilled on the patio instead.
• Went horseback-riding along the beach. Loved it.
• Purchased and finished The Other Boleyn Girl (since I was so obsessed with the movie)! Five stars.
• Lots of eating and breaking of diets (you cannot escape the food and candy!!).
• Lots of shopping (although this wasn’t suppose to be a shopping trip). Totally successful.
• Lots and lots of gossiping.
• Hilarious car rides.
• Favorite purchase was a Marilyn Monroe wall clock.
• Found lots of nice jeans. ♥
• Got stuck in rush hour traffic to the Coast AND back home (we obviously don’t learn).
• Got home really late and still haven’t finished unpacking yet.
• Don’t have to go back to work until Friday! :cheer:

Being lazy on a hot day.

Everybody been’s asking about eyelid glue. Here’s a video of how it works and I SWEAR it’s not as gross as it looks and it’s not painful at all! I’ve heard stories that if you use it daily, you’ll eventually get double eyelids but I’ve also heard of stories of sagging skin because you stretch it out everytime you pull the glue off. Unfortunately for me, I’m so fricking lazy that I only use this stuff like once a month. LOL.

Anyway, Oregon trip plans are good (for now, just waiting for something to mess up a day of two before we leave) after a week of wanting to kill myself.

Boyfriend is going to Vegas with his friends in September but I decided not to go because it’s one month before my 21st birthday and I don’t want to take any time off work. I told him he can do WHATEVER HE WANTS there (gamble, go to strip clubs/clubbing, look at girls, etc.) as long as there is no touching of other girls (and guys) involved— and maybe not eat as much since I hear he’s training himself for the buffets (he is the king of buffets) which is totally gross. Lol. But anyway I’m encouraging him to have fun and forget about me that week because when he comes home, he’ll have to face my constant nagging and mood swings for the rest of his life (and because I have 120% trust in him). ? God help him. Plus I don’t want him to be like certain guys who are obliged to be with their naggy girlfriends 24/7. Hah.

Speaking of Vegas, I never really understood the hype about it and why EVERYONE wants to go when they turn 21. I considered it for fun but never seriously; I’d rather waste my money on a trip where I can mingle with a wealth of cultural and historical experiences. Vacation spots like Hawaii, the Caribbean, Florida, etc. sparks like a 10% interest in me; it’s not like I won’t go but I’d rather go visit places like Egypt, Rome, North Korea, Afghanistan and/or anywhere in the Middle East, etc. because they either have a rich history that fascinates me or because the place touches me with the current events happening there.

Where would you guys like to go on vacation?

Since we’re on the topic of vacations, I’m so excited for our plans to Asia next year! I think we are going to leave either in late January or on Christmas Day with his family to Vietnam and stay there for a week of two and then hopefully go to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, Seoul, Phnom Penh, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Bali, Singapore, Phuket and a bunch of other places but I doubt we would have enough time. Boyfriend wants to stay a couple days in each so we don’t get sick of it and would still have stuff to see when we go to Asia again which totally makes sense (and is something that I would’ve never though of). I’m the most excited about Phnom Penh (Angkor Wat is one of my top places to see which is about 5 hours away), Vietnam (I just discovered this awesome designer in Saigon) and Seoul (home of the Korean dramas and plastic surgery!). I told Boyfriend I’m gonna get my eyelids done in Korea and that he couldn’t do anything to stop me and he believed me (I think), but are you kidding me? I don’t want to recover during my vacation.

Next year, hopefully I can convince Boyfriend to visit Africa with me if he decides not to go to Europe. For me, Europe can wait another 5 years but Africa needs to come now!! We chose Asia this year because Boyfriend wanted to go see his grandpa in Vietnam. Aww. :blush:

Smashing Magazine has an amazing post on beautiful and feminine illustrations. I love looking at girly illustrations and art work! Here are my favorites:

Would you wear these contact lens attachments?

Just this morning before starting work, I was swirling around in my chair thinking how proud I was of myself for not shopping for a whole 5 days then TONIGHT came.

Koji Eyetalk Eyelid glue is for us girls with NO EYELIDS. Yes, I’m vain but what are you gonna do about it? I’ve looked around everywhere for Koji Eyetalk locally but never found it and wasted $20 on this crappy brand but I finally decided to buy Koji online (don’t ask me why I didn’t do that in the first place) so I hope it works for me since stuff that works for everybody else usually never works for me. And of course, Epicare. At least I only got 2 things and the total for both only came to about $20.

My MAC pigment samples finally arrived! I was never really into pigments because I’ve always thought of them as messy and too much work but I recently got into them and BOY AM I GLAD. I guess you really can’t go wrong with $1.50 pigment samples but I’m driving myself into hell because I think I’ll be spending A LOT on fullsized pigments in the future. It’s such a waste because I only wear make up on weekends (I just don’t see the point in getting all prettied up for work). I can’t help it either. Ah!

The pigments include: Fuchsia, Golden Lemon, Lovely Lily, Melon, Mutiny, Nocturnal Plum, Pink Bronze, Teal, Steel Blue, Vanilla, Violet, 3D Silver, Blue, Golden Olive, Emerald Green, Pink Pearl, Chartreuse, Cornflower, Deep Blue Green and Gray Glitter which was included as a gift.
