• Boyfriend doesn’t always let me sleep in. He makes me wake up sooo early (at 11am!!) when I want to sleep until 3… but then what is a hungry man suppose to do. I guess it’s not his fault I make him go for late lunches all the time.
  • I’m lazy, but I’m especially lazy on Sundays…
  • Korean Seafood Pancake …and Sundays are one of the days I always force myself to go work out when I’d rather be stuffing myself with mac and cheese and Korean seafood pancakes.
  • I always feel so bloated because we always go out for a huge and filling dinner on Saturdays nights; this time it was all-you-can-eat hot pot with lots of sliced fish, mussels and oysters… mmm.
  • Ferrero Rochers are on sale which doesn’t help the diet at all (and that mango/peach smoothie I made for myself).

  • Worse of all, you know you have to go back to work the next day and there is no good breakfast special I look forward to on Mondays… breakfast quesadillas? How uninteresting. I want my breakfast wrap!!

Kids
“Nooo this is how a cowboy looks like!!” … featuring their HSM hat.

Speaking of Highschool Musical, we took the kids to see HSM on Ice last weekend and I seriously got so bored I had to whip my iPod (and I felt bad afterwards). I wish I was young again so those things could actually keep me entertained. :( I guess it didn’t help much that we missed the first half hour of it due to that horrible accident on the highway that morning. When we were driving out to Maple Ridge at around 10am to pick up the kids, the traffic was crawling through slowly and when we were going back at around 3, there was still traffic. It makes me sooo angry when idiots drive on the HOV lane when they’re not suppose to; that’s karma for them which they totally deserve but not the other vehicles involved and everyone else who gets stuck in traffic. It also doesn’t make sense why HOV lanes aren’t opened up to everybody when it’s not rush hour because it’s obvious they don’t help much when it’s not.

Black Sheep There’s been something that’s been irritating me lately. It’s when people get so use to seeing certain things the way they are but when something suddenly appears differently, they refuse to accept it and welcome it with an open mind.

Lately, I’ve been thinking of what makes me different in the way I think and the things I do in relation to everyone else I know. If there’s something that I’m afraid of, it’s losing my identity and just being a clone of everyone else. Of course, I would never deliberately change my opinions just to be different but if I do think or do something differently than others, then I definitely won’t be ashamed to admit it and I’ll tell the world, not like anyone would care but still! I use to be really judgmental when it comes to these things when I was younger but I’ve become a better person now due to being more accepting.

People like to make fun of me for reading so much and what do I do in response to that? I’ll whip out my 1300 paged book and start reading right in front of them. If people ask me why the hell I’m listening to so and so while driving, I’ll just blast the music even louder (besides, you’re in MY car). I know they’re joking but my point is that there’s nothing wrong in doing something you love even if other people like to criticize it.

I remember when Facebook officially switched to their new look, I changed my status to “I LOVE the new FB!” because I was getting 20 invitations a day to groups hating on the new look. A friend asked me if I only did it because everyone else was being a hater and to tell you the truth, I did. Don’t get me wrong, I actually liked the new look A LOT but the only reason I did it was to differentiate myself from everyone else and hopefully piss some people off in the process because their non-stop whining was getting unbearable. I bet most of them are those who would stick animated GIFS and backgrounds and other atrocities on pages if they could anyway. :o

Another example is when I changed my font size to something overwhelmingly big last week. There was generally positive feedback but a lot of people also thought it was way too big… of course I totally respect their opinions but it just goes to show how change isn’t easily accepted. I realized that the huge font doesn’t work with my particular theme but I still think the huge font DOES work. Check out diaua.com for example, It’s an image-less layout and I think the huge font looks awesome and appealing; but not surprisingly, she some lost points for the overwhelming font size (like I did) on rev.iew.me. Apparently, if it doesn’t look like your standard blog, then it’s not up to par. The whole topic is a little controversial though because you’re suppose to design a website for the visitor in mind but still, it’s a shame. :( And just for the record, my next theme will have a 14pt size, like it or not. Hehehe. Luckily, all you have to do it a CTRL + or – if you don’t like it! ;)

^ I know the above paragraph is a teeny-bit irrelevant but I just had to add it in there to justify my thoughts on my huge-ass font! :P

Sorry that was a lot of rambling up there (something I’m good at) but if you didn’t read the whole thing, the point I was trying to get across is: DON’T BE AFRAID TO THINK DIFFERENTLY DESPITE OTHER PEOPLE’S CRITICISMS. In the end, you’re the winner because you’ve made yourself stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Warning: Annoying girly/whiny rant.

Mac Chromeglass in Show Coral

Did I mention I lost my second-last tube of Mac Chromeglass in Show Coral (again)?!?!? :@ I had an annoying little voice inside my head telling me not to bring it that night because I knew I’d lose it and little did I know, everything was in my bag at the end of the night EXCEPT for my precious Show Coral. I was hammered out of my mind but I remember seeing my purse dangling on Boyfriend’s arm WIDE OPEN and I was worrying about my damn lipgloss— I didn’t even give a crap about my credit card and drivers’ license that was probably sticking out but I was too wasted to do anything about it. Now I’m only down to one more tube of this wonderful, limited-edition, retired lipgloss. Thankfully I just ordered one off eBay so I don’t have to face the fear of running out (yet) but I swear I’m gonna lose it again next time I decide to take it out with me… but how can I NOT bring my favorite lip gloss with me?

I’ve got to start looking for a look-a-like but it’ll be hard to find that “chrome-y” pink-coral shimmery shade with the same non-sticky, thickly-whipped texture and vanilla scent. Sigh.

Oh and the swatch above doesn’t do justice, it’s a pinker and lighter.

This makes me sad… I’ll have to go to the Mac store sometime this week so I can stock up on some Lipglass to cure this depression.

MAC’s Chromeglass lip gloss is ultra thick, ultra luscious. This formula layers lips with incredible shine and depth, with a rich, plumping effect. Show Coral is a tied and true peach with pearl and the slightest hint of pink undertone. The intense pearlized chrome finish creates an amazing depth and lusciousness for your lips. A great classic peach shade with a special kick only MAC can deliver!

Must. Resist.

Books, Boyfriend, Food, Rants, Shopping, Weekends

This weekend I—

    Monty Mushroom Burger & Chicken Feet
  • Craved like crazy for a Monty Mushroom Burger from White Spot (best burger ever). So crazy that I couldn’t concentrate on anything else— unfortunately I never got it because Boyfriend hates eating at White Spot. :( P.S. The image was stolen from hoyummy.com.
  • Was about to see a movie after dinner but forgot to buy movie tickets at work (why pay $12 and we can get it for $6?) so we went home to start another Korean drama instead. ♥
  • Went for dim sum with the family and boyfriend (haven’t done that in sooo long). Totally not satisfying because my black bean chicken feet never came— never going to a dim sum place where they push carts around again. Boo. P.S. The image was stolen from savagexi.com.
  • Bummed around Boyfriend’s house like the good old days (a.k.a. last month).
  • Tried Jackfruit for the first time in my life because they brought home this huge one from Vietnam. It tasted like shit and made the house smell like alcohol. Um.
  • Got so stressed out while looking for a gift for a 2-year-old. Him: “Why are you so hot and stressed out? I’m not.” Me: “Because you’re not thinking hard enough!!!” And he really wasn’t— he was just kicking a soccer ball around Toys R’ Us.
  • Went to his niece’s birthday party and almost fell into a swarm of kids scrambling to pick up candy from the broken piñata.
  • Wore new eyelashes that were less than $2CDN for 10 pairs (from Vietnam) from L*— they were soo much better than my $5 (per pair) Ardell lashes. This is why I always stock up when I know people going overseas. My sister brought back 2 boxes for me in 2006 and I’ve only used half of one box.
  • Got lots of good deals including a $30 Tweezerman tweezer for only $17.50!
  • Spent $30 on cereal and granola bars. :|
  • Fell asleep at 10pm on Sunday night— can you believe it? I haven’t slept before 2am for almost a year! But then it was a shitty sleep and ended up waking up at 6:30 this morning, contemplated whether to go to gym or not, lied there and fell asleep again until it was time for work. I hate sleeping early.

Someone should lock me up and not let me go anywhere. I somehow spent $250+ this weekend and have nothing to show for it except for cereal and granola bars. :S So now the question is— to buy or not to buy?

So since I had a couple days off, I figured I should go get my pink hair touched up so it could be bright and beautiful red again. GUESS WHAT COLOR IT IS NOW?! A DARK burgundy / brown / red color. AHHHH. I’ve honestly never been so upset in my life!!! I feel so normal and boring now. :grumpy: I’m such a big baby, I know, but now my hair is SO dark now and my extensions don’t match anymore and those weren’t cheap! If you’ve ever gotten a bad hair cut/dye job, you would know how I feel. But then what the hell WAS I thinking getting such bright red extensions because it’s so hard to keep up anyway?! Thankfully, I got some helpful advice from a Mallvibes member so hopefully I can go around and find a solution tomorrow (that’s why I love MV so much… the people there are so nice). If worse comes to worse, I’ll just dye my extensions a more natural and easy to match red (boring but will have to do).

Anyway, I tried to shop my troubles away online but didn’t succeed because I’m still upset. Maybe it was because I didn’t buy enough (since I was in a rush and the internet was so slow today for some reason). :irritated:

Terrible day (not to mention I was behind some idiotic Richmond drivers and then got stuck behind a train crossing on the way home). Sigh.
