Do Re Mi

Starting off with a beautiful shot of the sunset. It's really hot these days and this has been going on since April.  I'm seriously considering that maybe global warming isn't total bs after all.  :/ The temperature has been in the 80's and it only backs down into the high 70's on cooler days.  I find it a bit sad because my tulips really took a beating this year.  There were rarely any days with mild spring weather and instead, we were met with either super cold snowy days or scorching hot days... wtf. It's like it's getting hotter and dryer each year.  Here's proof: http://mikun-revenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/spring-2011.html The spring from a couple years ago was so much more flowery with much, much cooler weather.  Now look at it...  My tulips are dry and deader than ever and flowers were pretty much nonexistent save for a few blossoms here and there. This year, it's like we jumped straight into summer without having the chance to enjo

This "Beauty Tips" post is a new idea I came up with for myself and anyone else who's interested in how to apply makeup effectively. I always end up with questions while using makeup like how I can make my foundation last longer, how to keep my eyeliner from smudging, and so on. I've decided to make note of helpful makeup tips I've come across while experimenting different techniques. Hopefully others will find this helpful. :D How to keep eyeliner from smudging: What I do is apply ONLY Waterproof Cover Girl mascara on my bottom and top lashes.  I've found that Cover Girl mascara has the ultimate waterproof formula; I can tight-line my eyes, draw in eyeliner, and it still doesn't smear. I discourage applying another type of waterproof mascara as a first layer because after testing this method, it led to the mascara smudging.  If you must apply a first layer of some other mascara, use a white or clear colored lash primer.   How to

Have you ever been around this person who always seems to ask favors of you?  Do you feel like you're a sap who's being taken advantage of?  And do you have a difficult time just telling them "NO?" Well today is your lucky day because this post is just for you guys! :D I thought about this issue today because I recently encountered a person that tried to take advantage of my kindness at work this afternoon; I now realize how important it is for us nice folks to be prepared. I can completely relate to this situation because I'm the type of person who wants to please everyone and I usually don't refuse if someone asks something of me (except for money & car rides, lol). First lets talk about my experience at work. ************************************************************************************ The area I was in generally needs keys to open locked items and it's kind of annoying because there's so many workers but only two pairs of key

Yesssss!  I'm finally finished with spring semester!!!! (ﾉ〃^▽^〃)ﾉ｡･:*:･ﾟ★，｡･:*:･ﾟｵﾒﾃﾞﾄｰ♪ I'm so happy because for the last few days I was really wanting to move on with my life already.  xD All you people who've been through finals know what I'm talking about! I (sort of) tried my best to study really hard for the last couple of days and I think it paid off since I got a B on my last exam.  YaY!  Right now I'm very cozy in my bedroom watching a good K-drama after a day's hard work.   Can you guess the K-drama?  Hint: The name in the subtitles I'm quite ecstatic because I accomplished everything I planned such as buying my mom roses for Mother's Day , making a test batch of chocolate strawberries, baking her shortbread cookies, and getting all my ingredients ready for the chapchae dish I'll be making her either tomorrow or on Sunday.  It feels good to get everything done on a checklist. Here's the strawberries. This is my first

WARNING : This is a rant and has a lot of bad language.  Read at your own discretion. I'm sorry but I just had to put up this rant.  It's still been annoying the hell out of me every time I think about it. I think I mentioned before but one of the things I hate most in this world is light glaring in my face.  It doesn't matter if it's sunlight, flashlights, car lights............  you get the picture. Back to my story. I had a short shift at work last night so I ended up coming home fairly late, around 9:30pm.  I was unfortunate enough to have the worst timing ever because as I was getting towards my house to park in the driveway, there was this car in front of the house facing me with super bright lights.  At first I thought, "what an asshole, why are they just parked there?"  But then as I got closer, I found that it was not a stranger, but worse.  It was my sister's friend who was blaring her f*cking car's high beams right IN MY FACE .  I wa

Yesterday was a perfect day with perfect weather... (´-ω-｀) It was slightly breezy with overcast skies.  The temperature was in the high 60's.  I don't know about other people but I L-O-V-E overcast weather; It protects us from the sun's heat and creates awesome lighting for photography.  I also like how it just cools everything down and makes the foliage appear so much more lush.  I'm glad the plants got a break because it was so freaking hot for the past couple of days. ಠ_ಠ After pathophys class, I went with my mom to this dog park that had a swimming pond.  Pretty cool~! Scruffy wasn't really into the dog pond and he steered clear of the water.  I wasn't too bummed though since I'm sure that pond is infested with who knows what .  People say it's pretty clean as long as the water is flowing but I'm still wary. (¬_¬) I was chatting with a few park-goers and they were telling me about how their dog had diarrhea for 3 weeks after swimming in
