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

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

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

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

Junk food?

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 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?

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.

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 (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.

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 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?)!

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. 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.

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*

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!

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.

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.

My favorite photo: Marie Antoinette in Vogue (by Annie Leibovitz)

One poem

At the Mid Hour of Night

At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved, when life shone warm in thine eye;
And I think oft, if spirits can steal from the regions of air,
To revisit past scenes of delight, thou wilt come to me there,
And tell me our love is remember’d, even in the sky.

Then I sing the wild song ’twas once such pleasure to hear!
When our voices commingling breathed, like one, on the ear;
And, as Echo far off through the vale my said orison rolls,
I think, oh my love! ’tis thy voice from the Kingdom of Souls,
Faintly answering still the notes that once were so dear.

-Thomas Moore

One item of clothing

One quote

Outside of a dog, a man’s best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read. - Groucho Marx

Name the item of clothing that has been with you the longest:
I have lots that that I keep but don’t wear anymore but I think my oldest article of clothing that I still wear would only be from 2006 which were my very first pair of Lululemon yoga pants with the pink band at the hip. I sweat in them and wash them a lot and they’re still in near-perfect condition with no pilling whatsoever. Now that’s good quality! I own more now but that pair is still my favorite (probably because it’s the only pair I bothered to hem while the rest are dragging at my feet— fashion faux-pas?).

Other than jeans, what’s an article of clothing that you can’t live without?
Black leggings of course.

What was the last item of clothing you bought?
DKNY t-shirt, $50. I didn’t really want this shirt… I just bought it because we were in the store and boyfriend was buying something and I felt left out.

Describe your perfect winter & summer footwear:
Winter: Any type of boots! Flats, heeled, ankle, mid-calf, slouchy, etc. etc. Summer: Gladiator sandals, flip flops or ballet flats.

And what’s a brand you wouldn’t recommend?
Clothing from stores like Urban Behaviour, Sirens, Stitches, Urban Planet, Mariposa, etc. Most of the clothing are made from cheap fabric that feels nasty against your skin (eg. acrylic) and they fall apart easily. Their clothes also smell funny. I guess you could say they are equivalent to Forever 21 in the states but then we don’t have F21 here so it’s different!

What’s the ugliest trend of all time?
That’s easy, Ed Hardy. When I walk into stores like Bootlegger, they have a wall of Ed Hardy, CA, Affliction, etc. and it makes me cringe every time I see it.

And the best?
Jeans tucked into boots!!

What was your biggest fashion faux-pas?
I had bright pink track pants when I was a kid which I wore them with a yellow Power Rangers sweater. I also had a bright green wind breaker.

What colors predominate in your wardrobe?
Black and purple.

What are your vintage shopping strategies?
I’m a newbie vintage shopper and still learning. Advice anyone?

What’s the most insane piece of clothing that you have ever owned?
Bright pink leggings. Don’t worry. I don’t wear them.

If you could describe the majority of the clothes you own in one word, what would it be?
Diversified …because I don’t have a definite style. I’m a floater.

1. Make up bag
2. Random eye palette (depends what eye shadow I’m wearing that day, if any)
3. Random lipglosses, make up brushes, mascara, eye lash curler, etc. I don’t use a lot of this most days but I always have them in my purse anyway
4. UDPP! ♥
5. Mineral Foundation + Kabuki brush
6. Bronzer
7. CG Trublend Translucent Press Powder
8. Eyeliner + brow pencil = must-haves
9. Extra hair-ties
10. Wallet
11. Hand cream
12. Coin Purse
13. Eye drops + hand sanitizer
14. Pills! (Vitamins, Flaxseed Oil Capsules, anti-PMS pills (!!), Reactin)
15. Work pass
16. Blackberry
17. Camera
18. Book (that’s why I have to have big bags!)
19. Nintendo DS (mostly for BF when he gets bored… LOL)
20. USB Pen

Forgot to photograph: packet of tissue, cutips (very handy in case of make up emergencies), water bottle and my Dentyne Ice Intense. Us girls get a good workout carrying all that shit around everyday.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Obsessing over the Backstreet Boys. N and I are currently devising our plan on how to get awesome tickets to the BSB concert on 09/04 in Vancouver. Of course, being a member of the fan club (LMAO), we get access to presale tickets but of course, I’m uptight so we always have to have a Plan B. And we’re also contemplating whether to waste our money and upgrade to VIP. I may get embarrassed when I act like a drunken idiot but I will never be embarrassed to admitting to the world that I’m STILL a BSB fan!! Woot! I was talking to a friend today and she was like… what the hell is KTBPA?! And I was thinking in my head… she was probably at Hanson fan back then.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
NO TO-DO LIST TODAY! Boy am I happy and relaxed before I have to start pulling late-nights again tomorrow. I have to admit though, I’m a little bored.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Watermelon, cheese and crackers, Girl Guide cookies, jello, Goldfish crackers, breaded zucchini sticks .. and um, leftover dim sum. I can go on and on. Like N said today, it doesn’t take much to impress us when it comes to food.

4. Places I’ve lived:
Middle-of-nowhere (Regina, Saskatchewan), Vancouver, Richmond.

5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:
You mean gazillionare? Buy a ranch, raise horses and live like a cowboygirl. And buy a castle in Europe and live like a Marie Antoinette. And buy a house in New Orleans’ French Quarter and live like Stella Mayfair. And buy a penthouse in Manhattan and live like Blair Waldorf. I’ll find time to fly around to all those places in my private jet.

6. People I want to know more about:
Various historical figures (wouldn’t it be awesome if we can meet them in person?).

Appetizer
When you drink soda/pop/coke, do you prefer to drink it from the bottle, a can, or after pouring it into a cup?
I drink out of a can with a straw because I’m too lazy to wash cups. The only exception is that when it’s warm so I’d pour it in a cup with exactly two ice cubes and a straw.

Soup
What television show are you willing to stay up late to watch?
I LOVE LUCY! Well I don’t see it on TV anymore, but it doesn’t matter because I have the complete DVD set. If you don’t know Lucy, you’re totally missing out.

Salad
Name one person, place, or thing you think of as brilliant.
Whoever created keyboard shortcuts. I had to work for a day without short cuts in Photoshop and Illustrator (because the program was effed up) and I almost died/I wanted to die. I swear, it took me like half an hour to create a simple shape because I’m so dependent on them.

Main Course
Would you be willing to work 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour days in order to save gas?
This topic has been popping up a lot lately and of course, I’d be glad to work four 10-hour days than five days a week. You’re already at work so why not stay there? Two more hours isn’t going to do anything but make my arse flatter while sitting in front of a computer— besides my job isn’t physically tiring. My commute to work is only 20 minutes each way, but I still find that long and annoying so I’d rather do that as less as possible. Although, I guess if you work in retail or a [fast food] restaurant, then you’d probably choose the latter because time passes by soo slowly in those jobs.

Dessert
If you were a superhero, what would you call yourself?
Last week at work, we had a group activity where we had to create a concept for a new video game and ours was about super heroes. In our demonstration, I was one and because of my red hair, they called me “Phoenix” which no one confirmed with me, so my paper cape had a giant “K” on the back of it. But anyway, I STILL DON’T’ KNOW WHO THE HELL PHOENIX IS!! Back to the topic, a name is too important to pick just like that, but all I know is that my super power will be invisibility.

My Mascara:
Lancome L’Extreme is the only mascara that works for me. It’s pricey at $32 a tube but it’s worth it and besides, I don’t use it often. In fact, I usually either don’t wear it or I forget to put on mascara most of the time and on nights when I go out, I wear false lashes). I just like having mascara as a back up because I know it’s there. I’ve given up on my short, stick-straight Asian lashes.

My Blush:
Why spend a billion dollars on department store blush when it’s the one drugstore product that works better? I’ve only tried Mac, Dior, Lancome and Estee Lauder blushes but I always prefer my Annabelle blushes way more. Plus they are like $20 cheapers. Bronzers are a different story though.

My Eye Shadow:
I’m a total Mac whore when it comes to eye shadows! I have a bunch from other brands as well but I barely use them.

My Day Cream:
Dove Energy Glow and Dove Day Cream.

My Lipstick:
My favorite lipstick is Sandy B by Mac but other than that I prefer lipgloss. My favorite l/g is the sadly discontinued Mac’s Chromeglass in Show Coral ? ? ?. I’m almost done my last tube so I have to find a look-a-like. Any suggestions?

My Beauty Product Brand:
Um, can I say the entire Sephora store? Just kidding. I’ll have to say Mac because I love everything from there EXCEPT their skin products which makes me break out; and maybe their mascaras because they don’t work on short Asian lashes (damnit).

My Essential Beauty Product:
Primers primers primers! Urban Decay Potion Primer and Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer.

My Favorite Makeup Product:
Eyeshadows. I just can’t get enough.

My Perfume:
My current obsession is Escada’s Pacific Paradise.

My Nails:
I like to get my nails done occasionally but I try not to too much because I HATE the phase after I take them off because I have to wear bandaids on each finger since my nails are so weak. It’s so hard though because I get my nails done for free. Teeheehee. Otherwise, I’m usually wearing OPI black or white nail polish.

My Feet & My Hands:
H2O products.

Three Products to bring on a deserted island:
Hair conditioner, a razor and lipbalm deodorant just to be pratical. If I was really shallow, I’d bring my foundation, eye shadows and my brushes so that my make up can melt on my face under the presumably hot weather.

Woman I admire for beauty:
Halle Berry, Gisele Bundchen, also Natalie Mejia and Chrystina Sayers from Girlicious! No matter how embarrassing their group name is and how no talent they really have, they are freaking hot!

Woman with the Best Sense of Style:
Kat Von D, Nicole Richie, Audrey Hepburn, Victoria Beckham.

My Ultimate Dream:
To have a successful home business (Freelancing? Blogging? Selling Shit? Buying Shit?) and be a richass mofo; and then eventually retiring somewhere in Egypt with a stable and lots of horses. Maybe I’ll become the next Perez Hilton except instead of celebrity gossip, I’ll be blogging about Crest White Strips. Haha just kidding.

How Do I Define Womanhood:
Should I define it the shallow way? HAVING CURVES! Otherwise Womanhood is being strong and independent and not a clingy, dependant bitch. Sorry I didn’t bother to be nice.

My Favorite Fashion Publication(s):
I don’t even have time to read anymore (total :bawl: ) so when I do, there is no way in hell I’m reading magazines… I’ll be reading books. Duh! But seriously, although I don’t actually read magazines that much, when I do, I read design magazines like Computer Arts and HOW. Okay, well I admit do occasionally pick up my copy of Vogue a couple times a year but that’s about it. I love fashion and everything girly but design is my real passion.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
Of course not. I’m lazy. The only local blogger I can see myself bumping into is Becca and I don’t think she’d care.

2. Are the photos you post photoshopped or otherwise altered?
I color correct my pictures and increase the contrast a little to make pictures look brighter and better (I do this for all photos I upload online). Quality needs to be perfect in my opinion. P.S. “Photoshopped should always be capitalized!!! Don’t ever type down on Photoshop!! Haterzzz.

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
No why would I? I like creeps.

4. Do you lie in your blog?
I don’t lie but I tend to exaggerate things (although I make it obvious) otherwise my blog would be so boring due to my uneventful life of reading blogs and playing with my new puppy (Rockband got old, fast).

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Okay I actually had to look this up because I haven’t learned much of this stuff since
elementary school (Social Studies, hell ya!). According to Wiki, these are signs of Passive-Aggressive disorder that are present in my blog: stubbornness, sarcasm, procrastination and maybe “avoiding responsibility by claiming forgetfulness.” But other than that, no, I don’t think I am passive-aggressive. Passive-aggressive people are kind of depressing to be around. NO OFFENSE though!

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
No. People who do that are just lonely.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?
Hmmm now that you mention it…

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
I don’t fake nice comments because that’s sad and knowing myself, I’d feel guilty when I see my own IP address beside a fake name. About meanies, if you put yourself out on the internet, there are bound to be people who will hate you or get annoyed and if you can’t deal with it, then don’t blog!! But then if your blog does have haters, that means you’ve made it big so CONGRATS! Mine doesn’t have opinionated haters yet although I know there are a lot of lurkers who hate me but can’t resist coming here. Teehee.

9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
No (I just wrote that because I didn’t understand this question… it sounded sexual but I don’t think it was intended to be).

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
Probably less. My blog personality is a lot differently than my real-life personality. In real life, I’m bitchy, moody, anti-social and prefer not to talk (unless I’m with people I know quite well, then I get annoying). But yeah.

11. Do you have a job?
I do but sometimes I wish I was unemployed so I have the freedom a lot of my friends have that I don’t (well most of them have school AND a part-time job so that’s not really considered freedom but at least they get free time in between 10-6). Maybe it would be better if I got a corner cube with a window like I did last summer then it wouldn’t be so sad being stuck inside as summer rolls around.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
Hells ya! WAIT… maybe not. Once you start getting paid to do something you love, you’ll start resenting it. But how much is “decent?” I guess that together with freelancing (another instance of getting paid for a hobby) can totally make ends meet.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
I’m not THAT much into the blogging world.. so nobody. Actually scratch that, I’d love to meet Helga because she’s the funniest and most interesting blog personality (SUCK UP!!! — no I’m not, really).

14. Which bloggers have you made out with?
I wish I could write someone’s name here but I haven’t got that much experience.

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
I shop a lot so it may SEEM like I have an excessive amount of money to spend on useless and materialistic things but of course I don’t and I counter that by blogging about how broke I am all the time. I just don’t have to pay rent or have my own car. HEEHEEHEE.

16. Does your family read your blog?
I sure hope not (or else my mom might find out that Mochi is really ours).

17. How old is your blog?
This blog was opened in December 2004 but I’ve been blogging since 2000. What did I blog about back then you may ask? Well, about how my friends and I got “high” drinking Jolt Cola from the corner store and sat the park for 6 hours and how we named a complex “Speed Bump City” for its freakishly large speed bumps in which we flew over on our bikes. Yeah… we were sad.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?
I never pay attention to my page views, only unique visitors but then I don’t really care. I still wrote when my visitor count was as low as 20 per day to 200+ per day. I haven’t made it up to 1000 per day but I don’t know if I have the patience to stick around for that long

19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being slutty, or a liar?
Yep, see if you can find it so you can read about my daily adventures about “being slutty” (LOLZ for whoever came up with that) and shooting up with random bums.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
No, but I want yours.

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
I wish I was earning and not reporting. Heh heh heh.

22. Is blogging narcissistic?
Hell yeah. Most bloggers like to deny it and just tell everyone they write just for fun, but in truth, we write to make ourselves feel better and feed our ego. It’s ok for those who are just coming to realization for the first time… the first step is acceptance (and then we can go on from there).

23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?
Yes.. it’s a weird but pathetic feeling. Sometimes you feel like you are letting everyone down when in reality, nobody really gives a crap!

24. Do you like John Mayer?
John WHO? If there is one thing that I DON’T do, is following and goggling over celebrities or whatever this guy is.

25. Do you have enemies?
I can imagine!

26. Are you lonely?
I can assure you (and myself) that I definitely am not.. although no one will probably believe me because it seems like I’m married to my blog.

27. Why bother?
I don’t really have a legit answer to that question.

Here’s how to play:

Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself and at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re It!” and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you.

1. I’m all about rice and home-cooked Chinese food.
2. I just bought a puppy and my parents don’t even know yet (I think mother is scared of dogs).
3. My favorite colors are black and white. Yes I know, you”d think for a Graphic Designer, I would be more colorful and creative.
4. Like Crystal, I love swiffing my room with my Swiffer Duster.
5. I’m a late night rat and my boyfriend is a morning person so those are the only times we don”t see each other since one of us is usually sleeping.
6. Boyfriend and I have no life. We watched all 6 seasons of 24 in less than 2 months, all 4.5 seasons of Lost in 2 weeks and I read the entire Sword of Truth series (Terry Goodkind) in less than 2 months (almost 10,000 pages). Well, we somehow manage to squeeze all that into our spare time. Hmm, what’s next?
7. I met my current boyfriend of 4.5 years in a parking lot.
8. I prefer to work out in the mornings.
9. I have an advanced diploma in Graphic Design. I was thinking of going for a degree but I can”t bear the thought of going back to school (if I do, I would be pursuing this somewhere in the states).
10. I love going out for Japanese Tapas!

The only thing is that I don”t do tags… but feel free to do this if you want.

When there is a large sale on, would you share the sale date and location with other people? How many people are actually NOT sharing information they find about sales and just come lurking to find out about ones that others do share?

I don’t mind sharing sale information with other people and I usually do but the only exception are the more private, specialized sample sales that happens once in a blue moon (especially in Vancouver); THEN I’ll be a greedy bitch and keep this information to myself and maybe a couple close friends. I bet lots of girls do this too so I’m not ashamed to admit it. Why? For example, a designer denim private sample sale?!! If you are an obsessed freak like me, I wouldn’t be crazy enough to share this information with you especially if you are the same size as me and you know how crazy sample sales can get (for example, the Aritzia Warehouse Sale that happens every year although everyone knows about it). The only person I’d tell about these sales is my best friend because she is totally on the opposite end of the “size spectrum” as me. Just joking, I usually tell her anyway.

Have you ever had a premonition about something that came true?

Last night I had a feeling that I was going to max out my credit card again this month after I finish paying it off and today, I realized I’m totally going to. It’s sucks but it’s inevitable!!

How many times per day do you usually laugh?
Probably a dozen times an hour … I even laugh when I type. Lol.

What do your sunglasses look like?
I have a pair of classic Coach frames which are prescription for my blind, slanted eyes and a pair of Dior aviator sunglasses. A couple weeks ago while cleaning my room, I threw away a whole stash of those fake designer sunglasses I bought way back in high school at the night market. How embarrassing! INVEST IN GOOD SUNGLASSES PEOPLE. Why? Because my dad says so and he’s the cheapest person in the world (HE gets pissed at me when I buy cheap sunglasses). Oh yeah, and to protect your eyes from those evil UV rays.

You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?
Um, if I could travel by train to Egypt, I totally would but in reality, I’d probably only take the train as far as Seattle; anything further, I would fly (unless it’s Egypt).

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.
How it takes less than an hour to do something you want, whether it be kayaking, hiking, horseback-riding, snowboarding, shopping, etc. B.C. has everything (including ridiculous real estate prices)!!

If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best?
Sorry to burst your bubble but I’d leave it blue.

What is your favorite beverage?
Currently, I’m terribly addicted to… dun dun dun… Nutri-V Lemon Green Tea. It’s the shit.

Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.
A Wacom tablet, a bottle of vitamins and a roll of toilet paper.

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?
0. Just kidding, maybe a 7.

Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?
I don’t know, I’m too lazy to think of anything right now but maybe I’d rename the whole of the lower mainland the place of bad drivers. Ah. Lame I know so shut up.

Dessert
What stresses you out? What calms you down?
Stress: when things don’t work!!
Calm: my books.

This is still my favorite video though.

QOTD:

What do you work for: the love of success or the fear of failure?

Both. Success is better than sex (or is it?) but failure is my biggest fear.
