Do Re Mi

I really shouldn't be writing in here this late.. ugh, I am so torn between using my other blog vs this blog.. I guess I'll just use the other blog for drama reviews or whatever since I really have no idea.. Anyway, I'm almost finished with this semester and I am so happy! ^^ Just two more days of school and I'm free for winter break! It's really too bad because I still have zero urge to shop and that's pretty much the only thing I can really do here. I've been wanting to go to this H-Mart downtown but it's a REALLY long drive down there and I don't wanna drive. I'm pretty sure that taking the bus there would take half a day considering all the transfers but I'll have to look into it. I am so procrastinating on my paintings too. They're really graphicy.. If that makes any sense. Maybe I'll post them on here but I don't really want to. I'll have to make a watermark on them.. So, that's about it for now. I ...

Haha, It's been a while since I've been on this blog. I guess it's because I "thought" that I forgot the password to get into here and didn't believe I could retrieve it because my email for this account was deleted. It turns out that I didn't forget my password and ended up making an entirely new blog. o_O Anyway, life's been pretty boring for the past few months. I finally ended the dreadful summer art class with the annoying teacher (... maybe 'annoying' isn't the word I'm really looking for. Think of it this way: she's one of those teachers that you just can't stand and it's very difficult to explain why because the problem runs so deep. It's almost like we were enemies or didn't like each other in a past life. It's that kind of feeling so I'm gonna go along with it). I also ended that history class and sadly, I got a B when I think I should have gotten an A with all the effort I put into the wor...

The background is changed to black yet again. I have a fairly short interest span so I can never really keep a background for long. Some of the songs are emo too so bear with me. They're good songs though. Sometimes I like listening to rock/emo music and sometimes I'm into the direct opposite with happy pop/rock music. I guess it all depends on how I feel and right now, I'm sort of tired with thinking of ideas for my art class. That class is a good 3 hours of brainstorming at once. -___- Our history teacher also kinda had to bail out on us and our new history teacher has more workload, adding a book report and group presentations. Ick... Okaaay, I'll stop complaining now since my life really isn't that difficult. That always makes me wonder though, does that really give other people the right to say that we people who don't live on our own have NO right to complain about ANYTHING at all? Personally, I think that's kind of unfair but there still...

I don't know why, but Davey Havoc (the lead singer of AFI ) is pretty attractive... in a weird way. lol Jade Puget is also the hottest American guitarist I've ever seen. *__* I came across this MV some time ago and now I'm an instant fan. I never thought I'd ever see an American band that looks like visual kei (note: visual kei is this unique, punk/goth kind of look to a band and the music ranges from emo/gothic to super upbeat and hyper/happy sounding.

This is a really interesting yet inevitable change that the band went through. I mean, here's one of their older and more commonplace MV's below: A lot more lighthearted ne? I still like the change though since goth visual kei is always sexy.

My next favorite drama that I just began watching on mysoju. I highly recommend this one. I've never actually gotten so close to laughing out loud before. The girl in this drama is REALLY funny. A must watch if you like lighthearted/feel-good dramas that are also romantic (in a cute/funny way) and sexy. The basic storyline is that there is this woman, Dang Ja, that has a successful career as a fashion editor but wants to have a child. Only problem is that she is against the idea of getting married. She seeks out a man with the 'perfect genes' and eventually comes across this guy named Gi Chan who is said to be perfect in every way by a matchmaker lady she comes across. He is a botanist that seems to have no interest in women. Dang Ja is persistent though and does everything in her power to seduce him into making him sleep with her to get his 'genes'. Gi Chan is against the idea of having a child without marriage and commitment while Dang Ja is the exact o...

I recently had a strawberry daiquiri to celebrate and it was super sweet! I shared it with my sis and parents so I didn't get any effects from it. I've never, ever been drunk before if that's believable.... Well, there was this one time I was sort of 'drunk' after I got drugged for my wisdom tooth removal and was heavily sedated but that's about it. I'm always afraid of what I might say when I'm drunk whether it's something hurtful or if it's something super embarrassing about myself that I don't want others to know. >_> Today, my manager was actually so nice! I did write a kinda mean entry about him earlier about his faults but sometimes, he can be sweet. He bought me a breakfast strawberry jamba juice thing and it was pretty good. You can say that the cup of that was considered my meal for the day and I didn't have to eat my lunch I packed. It was that filling. I'll say that I agree with my last coworker's metaphor ...

Babykins enjoying the sun after the unexpected frost. Sooo cuuuute! >.< Isn't this just cozy? lol I'll probably do a compare picture with this one. Now it's all green and sunny so wouldn't it be cool if there was this same picture except a summer scene? x3 Frosty tulips~. Sad thing is that out of the 10 tulips, only these two bloomed... T.T Pink really is a strong color after all. May 14th, 2009: --I find it so hard to organize my thoughts these days. It's very frustrating at times. I'll bet it's because I'm having this internal debate on whether I should attempt enrolling into one of two colleges. I finally got the transfer class guide for one but also the other. I'm telling myself that I'll try going for whichever one is cheaper. One of the colleges also wants me to add in 12 or so computer designs with all layers intact for them to look over to see what I can do on computer design programs (i.e. photoshop, photoshop il...

I want to go outside sooo badly today!!!! But I can't. It's so sad. I'm working right now and on break time. -__- It's always like this. Every time the weather is super nice, I'm either stuck at work indoors or having to work on some project for my classes. Grrrrr... So unfair.. And when it gets to later summer, the weather will be too hot. Right now, it's Spring so the temperature is perfect for just sitting out in the sun enjoying the atmosphere. It's really very therapeutic. I recommend people sit out in the sun to relieve stress. Wear sunscreen though. Don't wanna get premature wrinklies.

After reading Twilight, this is the next best thing that's ever happened to me. I know that in the beginning, there's the main character that's a stereotypical, spoiled, blond girl who's super popular and gets whatever she wants and of course first impressions would make the average person immediately have distaste for this character. I gave it a chance though and I didn't regret my decision. She's actually quite a strong character that's deeper than she seems. She also has two great friends that are quite amusing, especially the psychic one. The male lead of the story is this brooding vampire named Stefan and he's very similar to Edward with his "I'm a monster" self-hate attitude towards himself and his dark, sexy, and mysterious outward appearance. The love rival is none other than Stefan's older brother Damon and he's the direct opposite of his brother. He's arrogant, selfish, and can be very cruel. He does whateve...

I'd just like to state to myself and whoever reads that I'm so happy that I've discovered blogger. It's not necessarily that I want a ton of people to read it and have it become this huge popular thing. I just see it as an 'internet diary' where I can sort out my thoughts and let out my frustrations (if I have any). But it's kind of sad in a way because it's making me lazy to hand write things. Typing is just so much easier for me because it's quick and fast with just a tap of my fingers. Hand writing is dying out. How sad.. That reminds me, I'll have to practice my script.

I seriously can't think of any good ideas for creative art right now. It really sucks. I believe that it's because I'm all caught up in college class planning. I recently visited the MGD counselor of our college and of course, that led me to having to see yet another counselor. The whole problem was that I wanted to make sure the classes I took at this college would be able to transfer to the other college. It turns out that only ' academic ' courses are guaranteed transfer and all other MGD courses are questionable.... shit. I also have to make an appointment for my re-badging because where I work, we're required to have badges renewed every year... Okay, so back to my artist block. It's so weird. Sometimes, I'm full of ideas and others, I have no idea of what to create. I'm hoping that it won't be this bad if I actually do get a career job in a creative art field where I have to be coming up with ideas constantly. Such pressure... l...

I just love onigiri (riceballs). We have this hello kitty onigiri shaper and I really recommend that people buy it because it is so much easier than shaping these things yourself.... that is, unless you're just making onigiri balls. o_O My sister is the one who actually made the cake part of this with cake mix but I frosted and decorated it with the strawberries/sprinkles. ^^

I planted these tulips around November of 2008... Well, sometime last fall. And they grew! Only two of them have bloomed so far but I am so proud lol. I've never grown tulips before so this is exciting. I'm thinking about planting more tulips in the front of our house since they seem to be so easy to grow. I only remember watering them a few times too!

I thought I'd make a list to organize my thoughts and also to vent. 1. He makes me feel stupid and unintelligent by comparing me to others. 2. He compares me to my mom, making me feel inferior (as he seemingly has such a friendly relationship with her) which is completely unfair as she has a good 25 years of more life experience than me. 3. He always claims to be "just joking" with me but still his jokes make me feel really bad about myself. To give an example, today, he make a joke that sounded like this: "I just met this guy, he's a really nice guy, very intelligent! I always thought Japanese people were intelligent, what happened to you?" 3. He always nags about me not answering my phone. When I miss one of his calls, he goes ballistic and tells me that I NEVER answer my phone and bitches about it constantly. 4. He never really listens to me. This includes arguments. He just walks out the shop before I have a chance to say anything. Also,...

This month, I've seen Coraline, Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Reader, and Into the Wild. Coraline is probably one of the best I've seen out of all of these but that's my personal bias since I love animated things. The animation is stop motion so it must have taken some time to get all the scenes right. It makes me appreciate all the work and detail the animators put into this film. The story is quite dark. Some people might initially compare it with Tim Burton's work but the feel is very different when you watch it, especially after you hear the music. It's interesting because the music has a very lovely, lighthearted, wispy touch yet the underlying story and meaning is so sinister. I think it's this contrast that makes the movie so memorable and fun to watch. The Reader was an intense movie and a must see if you like deep movies that make you think. I recall Kate Winslet won an academy award for that movie and she rightfully deserves it. I wou...

We've had this mouse problem in our house for about half a month and I'm pretty disgusted. And it's not that I hate the mouse animal, it's just the diseases that they may carry such as hanta virus. Yuck!!! @#$#%@!!!! It's airborn so I'm being so careful for mouse poop or whatever and not having it in my room. Anyway, I'm at work today and I get a call from my sister and she tells me that she has baaaaad news and she's not sure if she should tell me lest I get paranoid. I'm already guessing of what's coming. Yes, the horrid mouse. o____O It happens to be that the cursed thing got into my makeup drawer! AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it did make my paranoia reach about a maximum of 100%, but it's a good thing that I found out right? I don't wanna be putting on makeup onto my eyes when the mouse was crawling all over it! I had s...

I am so addicted to this show right now. I first watched it a couple nights ago with my mom and it is sooooo goood (lol, good thing my lil sis wasn't watching)! My brother works for this broadcasting company and all the workers there got a free preview DVD CD of the new HBO series, True Blood based on the Southern Vampire novels. I didn't watch it until months later because me and my closed minded ways didn't want to believe that an American drama series could be all that great. That show proved me so wrong! It's pretty trashy and raw with all the swearing, sex, and racism stuff but I don't know, I just like it a LOT! I think it's because of the vampire theme which I love and the characters were so well played. In my opinion, the actors in this drama series are very talented, especially the girl who plays Tera. They're just so into their characters. It's really entertaining to watch. I'm only on episode two right now and I have to watc...

Recently, I've been ordering stuff online because I can't find them anywhere in stores where I live. They're all Japanese products. lol, Yeah, I love Japan. First product, An Cafe Gokutama Rock Cafe CD. Fun songs. ^^ There's a lot of keyboard in this one. Second product, An Cafe Magnya Carta CD. This is probably my favorite one out of all the CD's I've got from them. I think it's because I prefer the electric keyboard not mixed in with the rock music. Sometimes it's okay though. ^_- Last CD I got from An Cafe, Ko Akuma Usagi no Koibumi to Machine Gun. I can never remember the name of this CD. It's waaaaay to long. lol I don't know kanji either so that doesn't help me much. xP There's only four songs on this and the CD costs just as much as a CD with 11 songs on it! Crazy isn't it?! I bought it mostly for the first song, My Heart Leaps for "C" but the other three aren't half bad. I don't t...

So, here's a few of my eyeshadows. They're all shadow books except for some NYX and MAC shadows that I bought recently. :) I'll also give my reviews on a few. And sorry again! The pictures come out super huge so I don't really recommend anyone clicking on them unless you want to see the pictures in super closeup detail. >.< These are the single NYX eyeshadows I've bought. From left to right, there's: Silver, Frosted Flakes, and Baby Pink. I don't really recommend you getting any of these shadows because they're so common. The only one that seems to be good in my opinion is the silver which would work great with black matte eyeshadow for a smokey eye look. I've experimented with the silver and other colors but with anything other than black it just seems to make my eyes look washed out. xP The frosted flakes shadow is alright for a highlight but that's about it. And it's a fairly common color that's really not all that popula...

I just got through my first week of school a few days ago. It was great! For those who don't know, I recently changed my major to multimedia graphic design (MGD), everything art and my original passion. ^__^ I was just kidding myself these past two years taking random classes... I know, kind of a waste of time but I won't call it that because nothing educational is a waste. I'd like to call it me finding my true passions in life. So these past two years, I've been taking all these science-based classes trying to get into some kind of medical degree but I really didn't do well. I also had NO plan so I wasn't really aiming for anything. Other than that, I was taking the basic prerequisite classes like college algebra, sociology, psychology, etc. This semester, I'm taking classes that are actually applied to a plan for me to transfer. Exciting~! >_< The classes are drawing I., 2-D graphic design, and adobe photoshop I. They're all very f...

Anyway, these pics looks pretty blurry/bad quality on here but if you click on them, they come out really big so uh, beware. So this is my little makeup workstation. I put it right next to my computer so I guess when I start making vids of something, it'll be easy to access everything. You can see that I've only got a few brushes. I don't use too many. I'm fairly particular. There's also that big Sephora bag there. It's got all the eyeshadows. I'll post more pics later with the colors. The tokidoki bag my aunty got for me. It's so cute! Thanks aunty DD! \(^o^)/ Here's the inside of the bag.. This is my baby! (">_<") .... lol, awww, the socks in the background ruin the picture! Here's the baby givin' some attitude!

Yay! I finally got myself a camera! It's as the title implies, a Nikon Coolpix model S210 with 8.0 Megapixels. Such a pretty plum color.. And I'm not being sarcastic. (>_<) While I happened to be at Walmart, I saw it was $119 so I went ahead and bought it since it was the last one and the price was good. The thing is, I actually saw it first at Target for $139.99 but they were sold out since Christmas. And THANK GOD they were! I would've gotten ripped off by a good $20! (Okay, it's not THAT much but I could get a lot of stuff with $20 you know......) Now I know not to trust electronic prices at Target since they apparently overcharge their cameras (even if it's only slight)! >:( I used it while I was at the zoo to give it a test run and it didn't disappoint. The pictures were very clear, mind the ones where I was moving and then taking pictures. I've also tried taking videos with this camera and they come out pretty clear. I'...

at last, I have finally found a camera!!! it's this maroon-ish colored nikon. i went to target the other day and of course they were all out of that type of camera.. (-___-) just my luck... they also told me that they've been out of stock of that camera since christmas! that's like... 2 weeks already! (T.T) now i'll have to wait for who knows how long. other than that, i really did get everything else i saved up for. :) i went to old navy and got this white, i repeat, white winter jacket. i can't believe myself either. i usually NEVER buy white clothing, especially a jacket. it was just sooooo nice and it was on sale for 60% off! it was on boxing day and i didn't think that it could get any better than that. i ended up paying around $35 for the jacket which isn't too bad considering it's a feather down jacket that used to be at least $90. annnd.. i went to ulta again. xP that store is becoming a drug addiction. i went there and bought a couple...
