Work and Birthday makeup

2012-01-14T18:42:00.001-08:00

Hello my loves!

So it was my birthday (1.12.2012), I am officially twentythree. Another year another day another age, ya feel me? So here is the look I rocked for my birthday and what I've been wearing for work as well.

Since I've always had the issue with watering up in the outter corner of my eyes, I try NOT to apply any black liner on my lower lash line (especially in the corners); to prevent smudging. So I've been rocking all types of color liners NOT connecting to my top lash line as well. It helps me from watering and it gives my look a KICKER.

Products Used:

Mac - Luna

Kat Von D - True Romance Palette

Mac Eye Khol - Black

Urban Decay 24/7 - Eldorado

YSL - 104 Stellur Pink

YSL - 10 Golden Peony

Urban Decay - All Nighter Spray

Hope you guys enjoy the tutorial! I will speak to you guys soon!

[ Watching: Monster-in-law ]

Went for a visit to the zoo on a freebie day, first wednesday of the month. It is Illiana's first trip to the Zoo, since she still isn't aware of EVERYTHING yet; she didn't have much of an interest on it. But she did have some wandering eyes, I can't wait until we come back again when she's bigger and know what is going on! haha...

Had to take a picture with Cesar mang! lol

Halloween 2011

2011-10-31T22:50:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween 2011! From my familia to you.

It was Illiana's very FIRST halloween, as you know halloween is my favoritest holiday; so we HAD to get her in her very first ever costume. She was our little cow and we were the boring farmers.

I manage to grow Juls some scruff to go with the costume. Since he can't grow any scruff on his own within a day or EVER, lol. Of course had to make him dirty as if he were in the fields hard at work with his little cow.

Don't mind my makeup, at work was Fairy inspired; I didn't have enough time to take off my makeup because I had just gotten off work and threw on a farmer plad shirt I had and we headed out the door to trick-or-treat with Illi.

Hope everyone had a great halloween this year. Time is FLYING before my eyes, Illiana is already 9 months! It's unbelievable! (:

Bumble Bee inspired

2011-10-30T21:46:00.000-07:00

Here was my look I wore to work, it was a FREE FOR ALL (so whatever we like for halloween); I kept it simple but FUN. cuz I wanted to be able to wear it out after work.

I did the black brows, just simple yellow shadow on the lid and outter corners. Black liquid liner on top, black pencil liner on the lower lash line and water line on the outter corners as well. Threw on some Sephora 'Elegant' lashes on top, and Daiso #4 lashes cut in half on the bottom. Nyx - Hestia Lipstick I originally wanted to do black lips, but I didn't have any black lip products at hand; so I just threw on whatever I had. Oh ya and a hint of Mac Solar Riche bronzer.

So tomorrow is officially halloween and at work we are going for a FAIRY WONDERLAND type feel. I'm still unsure of what I'm going to do exactly. But theres definitely going to be glitter involved. I'm never good with glitter, since I've always been the clumsy type; be spillin all over the place. I'll try to get some pics in for tomorrow's look as well. And what my costume is going to be for tomorrow night. Have a good one.

[ Samantha James - Breathe You In ]

Went on a small lunch date with Juls today at Savor, Latin infusion brunch place in Noe Valley. It was good and the service was excellent! Very consistent and NOT HOVERING!

On with the outfit of the day! Btw, the weather is really nice today; warm and sunny in the INLANDS but cold near Daly City.

:: Ross lace back cardigan, Forever21 dress/top, Old Navy shorts, Vernier Rose gold watch, Hautelook bouquet studs, Forever21 necklace, Blowfish wedges ::

I really like this dress/top, the fabric is thin and lightweight yet soft at the same time where it does NOT scratch my skin like some of Forever21's tops do. It can be worn as a top OR a dress. I wore shorts under because when I sit the top does tend to rise up a little, don't want my COOCKA (Jerseyshore term) to show. lol. Hope you guys have a great MONDAY!

DIY: From old to new

2011-08-03T18:37:00.000-07:00

[ Wynter Gordon - Til Death ]

Before

After

So yesterday Juls and I had to do our every monthly ritual and clean the bathroom, it was startin to get nastyyy up in there. We stopped by Lowes real quick because he needed a spray paint for his new punching bag he recently purchased (he wanted to paint the latches and pole with a setting coat to prevent rust). And since we were there already I mentioned to Juls how I've been wanting to refurbish our old ass bathroom cabinet that looks so tacky. Whenever I go into the bathroom I don't even wanna be in there because the cabinets are that hideous. haha.. Juls agreed and so we searched for a right color, took us a while; but I manage to choose a nice dark purple. Our bathroom walls and tiles are shades of nudes, I didn't want too bright of a color; to balance out the boring nudes I felt a nice cool dark tone would do.

Here is how it went down, the process begins...

2 Cans of Primer (because our cabinet is longer)

Next is your choice in color (2 cans to be exact), I chose the quick drying one so I don't have to wait for days to air out our bathroom. Btw, be sure to use 3M tape to tape off any areas you don't want painted; also for crisp lining.

Lastly, a quick dry clear sealing paint ( like a top coat); we chose a Satin finish. We're tired of the matte deal.

Voila!

Hope you guys enjoy, have an awesome day! Toodles

Gilroy Garlic Festival 2011

2011-07-31T21:40:00.000-07:00

[ Watching: George Lopez ]

So this pass weekend was the Gilroy Garlic Festival, it's a festival consisting of all food with the star ingredient garlic, music, events, and prizes. The weather was hot and it was PACKED with people. It's like an hr & 10 minutes drive from the city, but we we're stuck in jam packed traffic for an extra hour! So that sucked.

I started to daydream off because I was hungry and tired...

Illiana had fallen asleep half way there which was a relief for us, but she ended up waking up once we had hit traffic jam.

Juls concentrating on the road, there were plenty of idiot drivers out that day.

Since it was so packed and freakin scorching out under the sun we found ourselves a nice shaded spot to chill and enjoy our food. Illiana hella caught me snapping photos of her (with broccoli stuck on her mouth still).

Daddy enjoying the Special Plate of the day from the hawaiian/asian booth.

Special Plate consist of 1 skewer of teriyaki chicken, 1 skewer of beef teriyaki, 1 veggie egg roll, fried rice, and chow mein. The chicken teriyaki was really good! And the veggie egg roll was on point.

We also decided to try the Tamale booth, it was pretty good; and I'm not that huge of a fan for tamales because it's so similar to the chinese Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice that I can't get pass the fact it's not. haha... Juls liked it tho.

Oh yea, I failed to mention I fell and scraped the shit outta my leg; there were so many hidden pot holes under the grassy harsh hay that my wedge caught into one and I fell knee forward. And it happened while we were walking TO the festival from the parking lot, so it was burning through out my whole day. Sucked balls and it still hurts like a bitch.

On a brighter note, I will leave you guys with Illi's 'MOB' face look.

Happy Weekend!

Good luck surviving the incoming week loves. You're not alone.

And the more and more I see it, I notice it look like a combination of jordans. Like seriously take a look... If you were to add...

Where have I been

[ Watching: E! Exclusive - Nicki Minaj ]

Hello,

I know I've been kind of missing these pass couple of days, Illiana got sick somehow; and it turned into a very bad fever, then into a very bad viral infection. We visited the ER like 3 nights in a row and by the 3rd time the hospital decided to hospitalize her so they can take care of her. Juls and I stayed by her side the entire time. Here is the ER where we been in multiple early mornings.

By the time we got admitted to our room it was like 6 in the morning, very dark. Here is the crib they had set up for Illiana. Looks like a jungle cage don't it? There must be some aggressive babies.

When we finally got admitted to our room we have a little television set to keep us sane.

Parents' wrist band tags to make sure we are the only ones and there aren't any impostors trying to steal our baby. You'll be surprise the crimes of people.

Finally a photo Illiana with daddy (Juls), this is when she has gotten A LOT better; she looked so much worst before. We were so worried. The feeling of feeling helpless when seeing your child suffering is the most horrible feeling ever.

But I'm so glad she is okay now, she's all playful and happy again! So that is the update on me, but don't worry! I will keep up with my postings! I hope you guys had a great weekend! Stay up and make it through another fresh week everyone! Take Care.

Sheer top for warmer days

[ Watching: True Life ]

Hello hello,

The weather has really been picking up lately, it's a lot warmer! 80's for SF is definitely not common. But I'm enjoying it, since the weather has been beaming; I try to stay as natural on the face as possible. Less is MORE. Here I am wearing...

:: H&M top, Forever21 leggings, Blowfish wedges (Piperlime.com), Charlotte Russe bow earrings, Guess watch ::

I really like the sheer lightweight top, it's great for warmer weather, and that it has a lace detailing on the back as well. And the asymmetrical front and back to cover up that butt because I need to get back in shape first. haha... After a baby sometimes you just want to cover up your booty. Just sayin. The wedges I'm rockin are extremely comfortable, the material is nice and soft on the skin; the only thing I have to complain about is that the zipper in the back may irritate the back of your foot area. If you wear pants your good to go, but I don't know how I feel about wearing it with a skirt, shorts, or dress of some sort. Then again nothing a bandage can't fix eh.

Anywho, I hope you guys all have a great and safe 4TH OF JULY!

Breakfast + Diet? Kind of

2011-06-28T11:00:00.000-07:00

So if you didn't know by now, BREAKFAST (yea the meal in the morning) is the most important meal of the DAY. That is because it gets your day started and keeps you full throughout MAJORITY of your day. Hint: for the kids who are trying to lose some weight, many people eat breakfast as if its dinner so they are full to function for the rest of the day; hence no over eating. And since you had just woken up your stomach hasn't expanded to it's full capacity therefore you won't be inhaling the food in the morning. I admit, I don't eat breakfast all the time; hell, most of the time (I know, hella bad). But I am really trying to start eating in the morning and not late night, that's my biggest enemy; eating at night. Everyone has their weakness rather it's sweets, starchy food, carbs; eating when bored. ITS NORMAL, shit happens; don't whack yourself over the head with a frying pan over it.

Just try to change the bad habits, if you eat late like me - eat early from here on. You love sweets, switch up the fatty sweets to good sweets (fruits, low fat yogurts, no calorie candy, splenda!, NO FRUIT JUICES - THEY ARE FATTENING). Cut down carbs and starchy food, if you CAN NOT cut down; PORTIONIZE! Portioning is your best friend, I tend to portion my food now and just have many small healthier in between snacks. I'm the type that HATES working out, I mean carrying a 13.9lb baby girl around all day is enough of a workout to me. So I portion my food consumption, it's not really a diet per say; but it helps. I mean I might not be losing weight (a lot), but I am maintaining the same weight and I am fine with that. But yea, I just felt like rambling. In case some of you lovelies wonder what I do about my weight and what I eat. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

These booties are extremely comfortable, I love the rubber sole under the wooden platform; easy to take on and off with the zipper entrance. PLUS, with the rubber sole it's more casual to wear practically everyday because it doesn't give you that 'CLICKITY CLACK' noise, that causes everyone to stare or glare at you expecting you to be all dressy. Shake your head if you feel me on that one, how you don't want people to GOCK the crap out of you when you are just trying to check your daughter in for a doctor's check up. hahah... since I wore these to her doctor's appointment today. Hey just because your a mom doesn't mean you can't dress girly to feel better! Am I right or am I right? Until next time! Take care loves!

[ Dash Berlin - Disarm Yourself ]

So I recently picked these up. Lately I am really liking the wooden platform THICK heel look. And may I add that with the rubbering sole under the platform makes the bootie THAT MUCH more comfortable to wear. So I got these in a size 8W, I know pretty huge feet I have ): I was always a 7 1/2 but ever since I gave birth my shoe size went up 1/2. Pooey. At least now there's more of a selection for us size 8 girls. haha... So these shoes are by Qupid.

I bought them HERE

It's my first time ordering from them; I really like their shipping. Super Quick and prompt. If you spend over $60 its free shipping with the code: AMISHIPPED ! Right now they are currently having a 35% off entire site sale w/ the code: All35 until monday 6/13! So if you want shoes, hop on it now; what better time than the present! They sell many other things as well! I got these shoes for a whopping $7.99! If you KNOW ME, you know I'm all about savings; whenever I shop I usually go straight to the sale racks and see whats the deal of the day! I get that great feeling knowing I saved couple bucks than not even trying. If you are anything like me with savings, this is the site to purchase cute shoes; for a very reasonable price. It doesn't have to cost you an arm & leg just to look good. Enjoy!

Weddings

[ Jay Chou - Tui Hou ]

Yellow!

Alright so last night I had attended my friend's wedding with the hubs (Juls), we dropped off Illiana at my mom's since babies weren't invited. The wedding took place at the Fairmont hotel and it was very extravagant and gorgeous, food, could've been better in my personal taste. I barely ate anything really, the first course was raw Tuna; I never really liked tuna but I gave it a shot. It tasted alright in the beginning, then it made me sick about a quarter into the banquet :/ I knew I shouldn't have eaten it. Reception started at 6pm and by now it is 9:10pm and I am definitely not feelin good, I was cold and felt like yackin. My appetite was definitely lost. Eugh. So I went to the bathroom and shoot my mom a call to check up on Illi and see how she's behaving (since she STILL not willing to take the bottle), my mom tells me she had just woken up from her nap and started to scream & cry for bloody murder. She asks me to come back immediately and feed her, because she would NOT take the bottle at all. I think that also added onto my nausea, I was feelin nervous and worried of her all night from the start because I knew she wouldnt take the bottle and I was afraid this will happen. So Juls and I had to leave early and headed out to pick up Illi from my moms. But overall the setting and set up of the wedding is very classy and nice.

Gold Room; Ballahhhh (:

Juls and I with

Andrey and Jenya
Groom/Bride

I really dig the chandeliers, nice touch

Table 6 = The non russians table. lol

Both Juls & I really like the center pieces

All the appetizers already set up and waiting to be eaten.

Why I gotta sit next to this guy? ew.

Juls & His favorite man Kevinito (they've always been like that).

Mr. Omar drinkin like a camel over here.

Dude the 'Dj's' suit was pretty BOSS, it was like shiny foil white.

The set up

Large mirrors reminded me of Titanic

Sorry for the blur, I'm allergic to alcohol; and I couldn't keep my hand steady :(

Lastly my OOTN, btw; I hate wearing dresses.

Dress: Papaya

Cardigan: Ross

Shoes: Ross

Purse: Marshalls

My FOTD: Smokey Black/Brown (Juls like the typical asian girl smokey eye look, gotta listen to the boss man).

Once again, Congrats to Andrey & Jenya on their lovely marriage!! They both looked gorgeous. I wish them a lifetime of happiness. . . And many many kids! haha... Alrighty, hope everyone have a safe weekend. Toodles.

What is up, I'm on a roll with the blog posts for these pass couple days aren't I? LOL. Any who, so about a month ago my lovely fam and I made a small trip down to LA to chill for a day and pick up some Rims for Juls. Just thought I'd share my outfit of the day, since the weather is so much nicer down there than up here in SF.

:: Some small boutique (forgot name sorry!) flowy top, Old Navy shorts, Charlotte Russe sling backs ::

Nude Sling Back Pumps: Charlotte Russe

And these shoes are actually quite comfortable, sucks that I'm 5'4 and wearing these I'm like 5'7 -_-* I'd be taller than Juls. He doesn't like me being taller. hahha... But any who, let me know if you guys like these OOTD blog posts. I'm not very fashionable now a days since I'm busy taking care of Illiana; I'd just wear whatever really. But if I do dress up, I'll be sure to share with y'all! Just LMK if you guys want more of these. Toodles!

Photoshoot FAMILIA Edition

2011-05-22T22:24:00.000-07:00

[ Karl Wolf - Superstar ]

Yello!

So recently Juls & I dragged my entire fam bam to a family photoshoot. That's because my parents BIG 60th birthday is coming up! And our gift to them is a nice family photo, throughout all these years we NEVER taken ANY professional family photos at all. So this is quite the sentimental gift from us. Knowing my mom she'll definitely hang this proudly in her living room to show off her lovely, beautiful GROWING FAMILY :) So here is a glimpse of my parents with their grand children waiting for our photographer to set everything up.

It just amazes me how our family started as 5 of us...

And now looky! There's 10 of us here in the photo and ONE MORE in my sister's oven! So we narrowed it down to the this photo as our final choice to be blown up and Juls and I will find a great frame to go with it.

I am just so happy that my family is so open and loving to Juls as well, they welcomed him with open arms throughout the years; I practically think they love Juls more than me! lol... For us to be blessed with such a beautiful baby girl, Illiana, in our lives; her grandparents (my parents) could not be more happier for us. Took a photo of just us three siblings, even tho we may argue and bicker with one another; in the end we love each other unconditionally.

Our pops always taught us to always love each other even if we fight and argue, as long as we remember in the end family is the most important. My pops never really had a close family, so he wants the best of what he never had for us; we all always kept him in mind. And you know what, IT JUST STUCK. always. It's just so cute, because our photographer kept saying "the husbands" referring to Juls and my sister's hubby, Sam, LOL. It just made me smile every time. *sighs happily* DAMN, Family... how they're the best people in our lives, most definitely. Hope ya'll enjoy! Until next time! Toodles!

Liese Bubble Hair Dye

2011-05-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

[ Jay Park (박재범) - Tonight ]

So I dyed my hair the other day, its not what I was expecting but I like it in the end. This is only my 2nd time ever dying MY OWN hair by myself with no help. Also my first time using Liese Bubble Hair formula :) I really like it. I bought it off ebay.com for about $18 including shipping. It's pretty pricey for a home DIY product. But in the end it turned out good and it's money well spent. First off, my hair is very dark, dark brown, almost black; for the color to actually show and latch onto my hair is pretty darn good!!

Here is my hair BEFORE:

After:

Not only that, my hair is EXTREMELY THICK and its pretty darn LONG now. I managed to use only ONE box for my whole head and it turned out pretty good (then again I did kind of comb it thoroughly so it coats my whole head). Its visible in the sun and vaguely without real sunlight, has a chocolate undertone to it.

I like it very much. I think I will be re-purchasing this product most def! Since my hair always been very difficult to dye and I really don't want to BLEACH my hair for the color to show any results. Hope this helps some of you gals who have hair like me, long, thick, difficult to dye; this is a great Bubble dye. Evenly coats and barely any mess! Highly recommend! Until next time! Toodles!

Tonight I am having dinner at my mom's place with thee familia, we are having Abalone :) If you guys dont know what abalone is... it is a sea urchin that is really valuable and great for health. Its one of the most expensive dishes in Chinese culture, if you ever get a chance you must try! For all my Mom-To-Be's, it also helps with LACTATING breast milk as well!!! ^_^ Here are a couple photos of how it looks like, my pops is slicing it up to eat after it being cooked.

It's yummier when they are a bit more tender than rough and stiff. Hope you guys like! Just wanted to share a little bit of my culture with y'all! Enjoy! Take care!

Haul

2011-03-06T19:26:00.000-08:00

[ Watching: Kourtney & Kim take New York ]

Hello hello!

I got a haul for y'all! Just a few things. Look out for TUTORIALS! :)

So Juls & I went OUTLET shopping at Vacaville on Monday (i think) and I've been meaning to get a perfume for the longest time now because I ran out about over a year ago (all I have left are body sprays). The only perfume I wear is Paris Hilton, I've always stuck with all her perfumes and never branched out; its like why change if you found what you love right?? But since I haven't gotten a chance to come across a good deal for any of Paris Hilton's perfumeries I checked out one of the perfume outlets. Then I found this...

YSL Perfume - Parisienne

This has a feminine floral scent to it, I enjoy the smell a lot. And Juls likes it on me too (of course I tried it out before purchasing, duh!). So juls decided to get this for me since it was only around $58 from its original retail price of $90 almost! Great deal! So as for the following, I was on Hautelook.com (which I am hooked on now btw!); was having a sale for Jane Cosmetics. I've always wanted to try their products but didnt feel like overpaying, they gave me a DRUG STORE feel to them and for them to be around $10-$18 for certain products... I just felt like it wasn't worth it, but on Hautelook all the products were $5 or LESS! so I hopped on the band wagon and chose some stuff! hehe.

Eye pencil - 03 Blue Lagoon

Eyeshadow Palette - 03 Nirvana

Blush - Blushing Wine

Single shadow - Sage

Eye Quad - 15 Milan

Jane Lippy - 07 Montego Bay, 02 Oasis

Eyeshadow Quad - 03 Reef

Tinted Moisturizer - Light Warm

I've been wanting Urban Decay's 24/7 eye pencils foreverrr now, well maybe not forever. But after hearing so many great reviews and seeing so many tutorials of these babies being used, I just HAD to get my hands on some! lol. So I saw that they had their version of all 10 24/7 eye pencils for half the size at $39 instead of the FULL SIZED set for a whopping $99! O_O! that was insane, knowing I will definitely not use up all these pencils I stuck with the Jackpot Edition (half sizes). Smart thing about Urban Decay is that they made the Black Eye Pencil in ZERO full sized, since black eyeliners are a stable they WILL be used the most.

Urban Decay - Jackpot edition of eyeliners

Mac - Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2

Oh ya, I had to get the Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2; can never go wrong with NUDES (: I'm not a fan of Mac's Lipglasses but hey its for a GOOD CAUSE! And I love nudes! Might as well. But any who, I'll let y'all know how everything goes! until the next blog, take care!

Evan had his very first Birthday Party with his daddy, Samson, it was fun! i attended the great out door BBQ Party with Illiana. Juls had work :( but i did make him a to-go plate of food. hehe. here is a glimpse of what i was eating, awesome homemade chicken + grilled pineapples!

the food was yummy! there was A LOT of food! freakin awesome! but that pineapple was so sweet and juicy! oh my lord, i want some more. the chicken was nice and moist (very flavorful too!). here we have Evan & my broham a.k.a Evan's Kao Fu (Uncle) giving him a nice big fat smoochy kiss for his birthday!

they both wanted to say 'HI' to Illi, but she was sleeping; so they just take a looksy at her. lol. Evan hella wanted to wake her up to play and say hi. super adorable. you can tell it was really chilly since Evan was so bundled up with his beanie and vest, as well as Illiana in her little car seat :P

Kao Fu and Evan peeking at Illi while she sleeping =]

Evan has the most LONGEST eyelashes ever! i am SO jealous! it is gorgeous!! he must've got it from his daddy, since my sister, Milly, have stubby asian lashes like me too. haha... so much going on we gotta remember to feed the babies!

Illiana's Signs

2011-02-06T22:58:00.000-08:00

Chinese Astrology: Tiger

Source Link: http://www.astrology.com/chinese-sign-tiger/2-d-d-49578

"Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in following its ambitions -- and maintaining control. Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom. Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that's extremely attractive to other Signs. They're not just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline. A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. This Sign's bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover. A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is moderation in all things. Once these cats can find their center and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposed to racing through life), they will accomplish much."

Horoscope : Capricorn

Source Link : http://www.astrology.com/horoscopes/details/2011-01-01/capricorn-yearly-overview?play_horoscope=1#video-horoscope

"'Change' is your middle name at this point, Capricorn. You've been through more personal transformation in the past two years than perhaps in your entire life. The upside is that you're getting used to the intensity of it all. It helps that you're realizing the futility in holding on to people and possessions that only stunt your growth. So many layers continue to be shed on a daily basis but this also gives way to unquestionable personal power. Pluto in Capricorn will carry on for another 14 years; so if this is just the tip of the iceberg, imagine who you will be on the other side of your metamorphosis.

This year the focus shifts from a lifestyle focused on gadgets, information and social networking to introspection, home and family. You are about to encounter your most uncensored raw self on levels as of yet unprecedented. Ready yourself, Goat, because this spring an explosion of fiery planets in Aries sweeps the very base of your horoscope getting you back in touch with some of your most primal instincts. Competition, aggression and the need for plenty of physical outlets ensue.

Some long-standing money issues are finally coming to a finish as the planet of illusion and delusion gets ready to move on to your communication sector. You've learned to use your discrimination in choosing where to invest and where to spend. For the next 14 years, instead of worrying about money leakages you'll be working on mindfulness to avoid spacing out. In any case, your way with words is apt to become poetic and inspired, which can only make the world appear infinitely more beautiful."

I was just curious and wanted to keep record. How interesting. . . =]

MAC Wonder Woman Collection!

2011-02-01T13:50:00.000-08:00

[ Bryan J - One More Chance ]

hello loves!

So I was invited to the unveiling of Mac's recent collection, Wonder Woman, but since I am not allowed to leave the house; Juls offered to take my spot and go for me and get me what I want. This is his PUSH PRESENT to me for having Illi. How sweet huh? I know there has been a lot of conspiracy about loving or hating this collection. I PERSONALLY love Wonder Woman, so ya'll already know I had to copp' some of the items, no doubt. Since I have yet to use the products just yet I can't really judge the product itself, so I'mma just base this off the packaging and how they SEEM. The only thing I have to say is that I wish they included WW herself on the ACTUAL PACKAGING and not just on the outter boxing. But I do like the packaging itself as well, the colors flow; and comon! WW is retro, i'm glad they incorporated the RETRO look to it; as if I am carrying a OG lunchbox again, namean? I like it. Yea maybe it ain't all girly and shit, but it aint as bad as some people put it out as. But anywho, here is my stash:

The boxing, looks almost like fireworks or gum packs huh? like back in the days... haha. i like it.

Over view of the ACTUAL packaging itself

Eyeshadow Palette - Defiance, Valiant

Lipstick - Marquis'd, Spitfire

Blush - Amazon Princess, Mighty Aphrodite

Nail Lacquer - Spirit of truth, Obey Me

Lipglass - Emancipation

Everythang else I felt it'll for sure end up at the CCO cuz it aint very appealing to purchase at it's full price, I wanted their PINK POWER MSF but supposedly they ran out of their MSF's within the first half hour of the event. I have yet to use ANY of these products, since I feel so icky and dirty what not; I'mma wait it out til we go back home and when I am allowed to shower!! THEN I'mma use them definitely, be sure I will do looks with them! But for now I'm holding off. Let me know what'chall got! And ya'll input! I know the collection isn't released until the 10th and even tho they are free for your purchase online it still takes several days to ship out. So when ya'll receive it, LMK. But for now enjoy and take care of ya'll selves.

Meet Illiana Eva Gomez

2011-01-30T18:17:00.000-08:00

[ Se7en - One More Time ]

hello my loves!

It has definitely been a long time! I know... I went MIA, but if you guys follow me on twitter; you already know whats been going on. Yes! I had Illiana already. She was:

Name: Illiana Eva Gomez

(Due Date: 1/18/2011)

Born: 1/19/2011

Time: 12:25 pm

Weight: 7.2 lbs

Length: 19 3/4 in.

Ethnicity: Chinese/Guatemalan

Here is me at 40 Weeks! on my birthday to be exact 1/12/2011 Just 7 days before she came to meet us! C:

She's beautiful, I can see her features coming in day by day (: I couldn't have asked for more, she IS perfect, she is everything I ever wanted. But then again who doesn't say that about their baby? lol. Ya'll prolly heard that a bajillion times before, but it's true; they ARE perfect through their mama's eyes even down to the last crinkle on their nose :D Yanno, after this blessing experience it really opens up my eyes to what MATTERS MOST in life. How you may think oh you got a new whip u're HAPPY, but really you wont experience TRUE REAL happiness until you see you had brought another life to this world; it's a beautiful thang man. GAWD, I LOVE HER! Even tho it is hard, but what isn't in life?? I'd do anything for her. Me & Juls are extremely happy and sometimes we just take a moment and take it all in again. That, THIS, is REAL; how much we are in love with each other and from that we had created a beautiful baby girl. I can see both our features in her, she has my eyes (asian almond shaped eyes), my dimples, has her father's nose, my cupid's bow, and BOTH OUR LIPS. *sighs happily*... So any who, besides that; I am currently back at my mother's for the 1st month of Illi. Because it is a Chinese tradition that the first month of any child, the mother has to rest and gain all her energy and nutrients back. It's what we call "Chaw Yooht", where the mom (my mom) makes me this Alcohol-Ginger/Chicken soup to help me produce more breast milk for the baby; and this Ginger/Chicken & Rice dish to gain my nutrients back that I had lost after giving birth. You might wonder, "IS THIS ALL THAT YOU CAN EAT EVA???" and the answer is "YES"... sadly, yes ): this is all that I am allowed to eat for this ENTIRE month! I know, torture; the first week was okay. Not too bad, but now I am going crazy eating the same crap over and over. eugh... so tiring. NOT ONLY that, but I am NOT allowed to shower for the ENTIRE MONTH. You may be thinking "EWWW", I know right; imagine having to go thru that. The longest I ever been without a shower was 5 days and that was when I was a naive little child who was just damn lazy. But not its like eugh... torture! We are not allowed to get wet (including our hair) nor have any sort of wind hit us. Iono whatsup with that, I guess its so we wont get sick? We gotta drench in our soil for a month..."yay -_-" But thank god there is DRY SHAMPOO! Hallelujah! So that helped a little, good thing I dont 'stank' that easily. lol. Juls said surprisingly I don't stink yet. GEE HONEY, THANKS! I guess... lol. And ON TOP of all of that, I am NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE PREMISES; but people CAN visit tho. I can't leave because there's "WIND" out and "TOO MUCH LIGHT", iono... People and their traditions. But if it's good for the baby I'll do it. And I AM producing a little more milk at least =] so I guess it is working. So yea, that is the update with me; I am a prisoner with a baby. It gets pretty boring, so I think I'mma start blogging more on here for this month. So much spare time! Yippeeeee! Alright I g2g loves! Illi is waking up from her nap, gotta go feed and change her! Hope all of you are doing well! Toodles for now! *deuces*

The Show Goes On

[ Lupe Fiasco - Show Goes On ] song dedicated to 2010 SF Giants Champions!!!

Hello my loves!

I just had to come on and post up this memorable day. Im in bed and I could not fall asleep for the life of me, ever since this far along my pregnancy I've been having a difficult time falling asleep. Guess Baby Illi is just like mommy-->Insomniac<--- that's not good. lol. So I was lying in bed and I went on my phone to google up how to fall asleep while pregnant. I got a few things that kinna helped me understand and have a reference for future nights like this (which will happen). In case there are some upcoming mommies out there like me who are having trouble sleeping like me can use some of these tricks and tips. Here ya go!

1. Go to bed drowsy.

Sometimes the issue is that you are going to bed wound up and not able to sleep because you are not physically or mentally ready to sleep. By entering your bed, only when truly ready to sleep, you increase the likelihood of actually succeeding. To help with this avoid caffeine after early afternoon, don't exercise vigorously past late afternoon, and don't have heavy discussion before bed or in bed. Doing relaxation alone or with your partner can be helpful.

2. Try a sleep inducing snack.

Comfort food isn't always bad. There are some snacks that might actually be helpful in promoting sleep. The warm milk or turkey can do the trick. The key when pregnant is to not overdo it and wind up giving yourself heartburn which keeps you awake.

3. Warm water.

A bath or shower can not only relax you and soothe soreness that accompanies pregnancy, but it can also help you prepare for sleep. This works before bedtime as well as in the middle of the night. For a double dose, trying reading in the tub to help clear your mind.

4. Reading or other mindless work.

Reading, doing small craft projects or even a tiny bit of mindless television can help you shut down your brain. In pregnancy you may feel like your mind is racing with all you need to do and think about. By giving yourself a chance to shut it off you can help prepare yourself for sleep. Avoid reading tense novels, mysteries or scary books if that upsets you in anyway. I also do not recommend pregnancy books for this time period, though baby name books seem to do well.

5. Get up.

When all else fails, don't lay in bed. Get up, do something, even if it's just changing locations. Set a time limit of 30 or 60 minutes that you'll stay in bed trying to fall asleep or back to sleep. Fighting it can only be more frustrating. And sometimes you can be very productive in the middle of the night alone. Some say that this helps you prepare for the sleepless nights in parenting ahead.

But anywho, shall I say YESTERDAY technically was the official day of San Francisco Giants day! Champions of the 2010 World Series baby!!! Ain't that some shit, so far this year is ending pretty well! :) Even though we may have been shit talked left and right bout us making it to the World Series and what not; we showed them fcukers!!! Riiiight! We proved them wrong and what makes it SO MUCH FRESHER THAN FRRRESH KICKS is the fact that WE LEFT THE MARK at THEIR HOME. hahaha!!! bitches. WE OWN IT boyyyyyyyy! Stomped on them 4-1 hell fcuk yess. shut them shit talkers up! Ain't got nothin to say now do they after we took over! I'm so glad to be alive to witness such a mark in History of Sports. Alright enough of that, Halloween has came and passed with a blink of an eye! This year I went over to thee sister's place to help her pass out candy to her trick-or-treaters since I'm preggo it's best for me to stay in doors and plus her hubby havent gotten to go trick-or-treating with her and her babies at all. Its about time for him to take a break from passing out candies every year and to go out and enjoy a night with his familia on Halloween (= Since I don't have any costume I just came up with a last minute costume with the things I had at home.

Our Pumpkin Family.

Me, Illi, and Juls

You like the little bow I did on Illi? hahha... to make her look more cute and baby-ish with her two teeth :P

And I had came up with Minnie Mouse, lol. A very cheap costume, but hey! It's better than nothing. I finally applied makeup, been a hot minute since I wore any shadows and what not. I just threw on my Disney Land mickey mittens and ears and I was set, applied some rosey ass cheeks and a mouse nose and I was set. Oh! I also taped on my Velcro hair bow onto the ears so it looked more Minnie! hahha... Ironically my bow was red and polk-a-dotted! So it all worked out in the end ^_^V I had a overall great Halloween, very chill and relaxing. Next year I will have Illiana dressed up for Halloween for sure! :D hehe. I hope you guys had an awesome Halloween this year! Let me know what'chall costumes were!! I would love to know and hear about it! Take Care loves! Have a great one! *Deuce deuce*

I'm going crazy. . .

2010-09-29T14:29:00.001-07:00

[ Se7en - I'm going crazy ]

I’m a person who never start to apologize
I’ll shout even louder at you every time
There is no way to stop our madness

I don’t know what to do
I don’t even know why we started this
No matter what I say now,
You won’t listen
You don’t believe me
The love in our hearts when we first met,
Where has it gone to?
Have we got rid of it?

(Chorus)
I dislike how our love has changed
I’m tired of repeating our arguments every day
Much worse than when we we’re alone,
Being stuck in an endless time
I don’t want to blame you for that
I guess we are going crazy
I’m going crazy crazy

In our love, we just going crazy

I said, we are over
But that’s not what my heart wants to say
Sitting and hesitating for what I did
For a moment, I was like an idiot regretting
(that I did you wrong)

We are both going to hurt, every day
I don’t know what to do
I don’t even know why we started this relationship
No matter what I say now,
You won’t listen
You don’t believe me
The love in our hearts when we first met,
Where has it gone to?
Have we got rid of it?

(Chorus)

In our love, we just going crazy
I can do it
There is nothing that can drive me insane
I’m still loving you
My tears are still not enough
Even when it’s hurting a lot
I’ll try finding myself back,
Good bye

(Chorus)
I'm going crazy crazy...

Good Bye Summer

2010-08-28T19:03:00.000-07:00

[ Shin Seung Hun - I Believe (ft. in My Sassy Girl) ]

hello hello,

I know its been a while since i've blogged. So what right? nothing new in that with me. hah. just a short update, school has started for a good two weeks now. I must say for once summer felt like summer, it wasn't as short as i usually felt like it was; but instead it lasted about the time i thought it would. Any who no point on reminiscing over summer, but to recap. Recently it was my older sis's Milly's 28th birthday, she invited me to go out with her and the girls to celebrate since she can drink alcohol again (cuz she just had a baby, EVAN my nephew of 5 and 1/2 months)we had to for sure go all out. Since my sister missed MY 21st BIRTHDAY cuz she had promised me she would take me out bar hopping for my 21st but who knew she gets knocked up couple months before my birthday! lol.

but i wasn't tripping because my NEPHEW is extremelyyyyy cute and chill as fcuk too! so it was kind of a double party then. we originally planned to go to Infusion Lounge, but we got there late and they were packed; couldnt get in. So then we took our high heel rockin legs over to Bubble Lounge and just stayed there for the rest of the night, danced, dranked, and got a little tipsy. here are a couple photos of us.

Here is the first photo of the night, on the lower floor gettin our shots before heading to the dance floor. Now from Left to right Top to bottom:

Me, Christine, Dawnee, BIRTHDAY GIRL Milly, Nancy

Lisa, Tina, and Liana

(check out the dude on the right hella scoping out, haha)

On the crowded stuffy dance floor with Liana.

Back up stairs since they closed downstairs bar early. Boooo, we needed more alcohol so of course we headed on up! you can see how my sister is just glowing right?! :D

Sisterly Love (:

do we look alike? some say yes, some says no. what was funny was that we both rocked the same color combo and it wasnt intentional! haha...great minds think alike eh. LOVE HER to death.

Last round girls! before we end the night! ): awww... i had a great time, can you tell? i'm all towed up by the end of the night. haha...

Got to take a quick pic with the hostess of the night, one of thee sister's RIDE OR DIE chicks Nancy a.k.a Ms. Hotty! the hottest bartender i know =] she still sees me as Milly's younger BABY sister, all night she was like "ITS CRAZY YOU'RE 21 NOW EVA!! OMYGOSH, I STILL REMEMBER COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE AND YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE GIRL!". must say, love Nancy. she always been very kind and sweet to me even since i was little. hehe. love you too hot stuff!

Until next time i hope you guys have a great weekend! love you all! toodles.

Sometimes... waiting can be my biggest enemy. i can be happy one second but once i start to wait i turn into a monster. especially when the wait is longer than 15 minutes. so people, don't make others wait if you dont REALLY NEED to. try to be considerate motherfcukers.

Shoot shoot shoot!

2010-05-11T23:39:00.000-07:00

[ F4 - Jue Bu Neng Shi Qu Ni ]

hello hello,
so for the pass month i've been feeling... hrmmm... how can i say this 'artsy'. im actually INSPIRED to go out and capture what i can. so i offered to do a shoot on Juls semi-new whip (iLLiana). of course he was stoked right-a-way thats cuz WHEN I 'feel' like shooting, he knows its not half-assing and that i'm going to experiment. so what great way to practice for myself and he gain in photos of his car. lol. its a win win situation. so there were a couple different locations i shot at. lets start in order shall we.

1) Target parking lot at Tanforan
whiles Juls was wiping down his car i copp'd a couple photos for fun. he havent got a chance to wash his car, busy busy bee he is. now of course i had to get one of his EMBLEM so no one will mistaken its a 350 or even worse a 250. it's a Lexus ISF people!!!! gawddd.FRONT HEAD LIGHT and oh yea our homeboy Kevin was with us at the time, so i thot i throw a photo in with him. HAH. not a very CLEAR one of him, but then again the shoot isnt for him (sorry kev! maybe next time). lastly a quick one of Juls GROUP 'SFMODS' + Juls. i don't think he even notice i captured him along with the photo. can you see the CUPS? and i dont mean my titty cups nigga. but they do make a great home for my OWL dont they? haha...

2) Costco at El Camino
so Juls BEEN wanting to shoot here cuz their lighting is hella bright. i personally wasnt feelin it, but i guess it turned out not that bad. just the fcuking carts were all piled up right next to the car which made the photo kinna whackkk. BUT i guess it'll do. here is a side far shot with a bit of the surroundings.follow up a close up without the surroundings.SIDE ANGLE (i really dont know what thee bf was doing with his wheels, he kept goin in and out of the car turning the wheels. i think it would've been fine just straight with the car) gotta give the boyfriend what he wants. lolREVERSE side angle (btw, his front windshield was startin to FOG up -_-* cuz he kept goin in-out of his car)

3) Alemany street Pacific Super parking lot
HONESTLY there was only ONE photo that i am satisfied with here at this location. i think i need to go back there again. but yea, i did a shot of my ride here one time and Juls really liked it; so he wanted to come to my location for a shot of his whip. which we did. here was mine.and this is his. his was way better than mine.

4) Vanness under the highway right by Bmw San Francisco
i've BEEN wanting to come to this spot for the LONGEST of long time because it has the PERFECT one spot lighting for ONE RIDE. it is PERFECT, the ONLY thing is that bright fcukin yellow Cash&Carry banner in the back. i had to photoshop most of it out, but a couple of photos i left it as is for the 'STREET' feel. because the city streets DONT HAVE perfect lighting and perfect spots, always some shit around rather it be pot holes, bums, bright fcukin yellow banners, cops, and etc. OUTTER RANGED Semi-Angle viewCLOSER up view, no head lights onREAR endclose up of rear, BREAK LIGHTS off.VERTICAL cut view, less surroundingsHORIZONTAL width view with headlights on, closer.
plus it gives it a GANGSTA feel. hah. instead of GRAFFITI backgrounds like EVERY OTHER freakin car does, i like this better. because when there is A LOT going on in the background it disturbs the MAIN subject in the photo. too much color makes the photo down graded from the CLASH of confusion to the eyes (trust me i did take many photo classes), because the USUAL viewer(s) don't have THAT sense of separation; so when you have a photo and the subject is the car you can't have hella SHIT around or else viewers WONT TAKE notice of the car SPECIFICALLY (prolly a good 98% looks at the other bullshit in the photo than the main subject to the photo and that other 2% looks at the car is because 1 they are car fanatics 2 they have a sense of ART at heart). i.e. try to notice BILLBOARD ADS, most of them have either a BLANK canvas with the subject straight up POPPING out to catch your eye OR they just USE PLAIN WORDS cuz they're lazy fcuks who don't want to bother thinking and coming up with a CATCHY ad. but dont get me wrong SOME word ads are the shit. but others are just BULLSHIT. but even tho they are bullshit TAKE NOTICE the background to the word ads are still either ONE SOLID COLOR or just blank backing! THAT IS BECAUSE while you are driving or biking or however the fcuk you are getting around town, they know they're at a time limit to CATCH YOUR EYES with the quickness. what other way to capture you and have you remember their ad than to GO STRAIGHT TO THE MAIN POINT, no other disturbances. ya feel me? alright alright. i think thats it for the lesson today people. hope it makes sense and helps you out in the future somehow someway whether you in advertising, photography, art; doesn't hurt to gain more knowledge (:

The way to a man's heart...

2010-05-01T20:15:00.000-07:00

[ Above & Beyond Pres. OceanLab - Lonely Girl ]

hello kids,
my fault if my last blog was hella weird and awkward for some of ya'll. but n e hu, if ya'll don't know by now Juls 21st bday has just passed recently on the 25th of April. nigga is finally 21 and don't need me to copp the alcohol anymore. haha.... he's pretty siked! (: so on his birthday he had planned to go Go-Karting with just his boys, as i 'pretty up' for him for dinner. i had made reservations at this Thai Restaurant - Rin's Thai Restaurant in Noe Valley for his bday with everyone else. so i wasn't bout to sit around home all day and wait til dinner, i thot i bake him a birthday cake and some cupcakes for his friends just a THANK YOU for comin thru to celebrate Jul's birthday. so here is the process of the baking. nothing means more than cooking for your love on the reals. its the way to a man's heart mang, thru their tum tums :D Now I aint no chef or cook, so i used the pre-mixed batters for the cake & cupcakes (lol). I made a devils food chocolate cake with strawberries (his favorite) and Red Velvet cupcakes.

First off I copp'd some fresher than freshhhh strawberries then rinsed under cold water. Now it's time to slice them Vertically down the membrane. When the strawberries look as if its almost a HEART its perfect. I had already baked the cake in a 9inch round pan that's non-stick (best to use nonstick to prevent any breaking to the cake plus less of the pain having to scrub yo shit afterwards). Now get a piece of wax paper pop that baby upside down onto the wax paper and let cool in fridge (if you're in a rush like me) for a good 15 minutes. Now take it out and leave it upside down, get a cake knife and slice it in half horizontally across so you have two layers and cream the middle (bottom layer only). Now with those Heart shaped strawberries slice them into semi-thin slices and place them on that layer. Btw, i just used canned frosting; but i use the EXTRA FLUFFY so its lighter and easier to spread, ya feel me? oh yes, the white chocolate chips are used for the red velvet cupcakes to give it a sweeter kick, if ya'll never had red velvet;its originally not that sweet by itself. so i thot i popped some white chocolate chips into each cupcake for a little BOOST of sweetness. i didn't end up using the sprinkles for the cupcakes, i thot its too kiddy and not as yummy when theres a crunch to the cupcakes, PERSONALLY i didn't want them on it this time. lol. oh yes, make sure u have cupcake cups in handy, cuz this occasion is individual cupcakes to each person to have; it's much more convenient when its in a paper cup. Alright as i was saying, put the top layer back on; layered on top of the spread like so... then be sure to spread the frosting all over the cake. as i was doing all this Gizmo was chillin in the dining room just lying there wondering wtf i was doing running around the kitchen left and right. haha.... now back to frosting. so i finished frosting the rest of the cake. then the best part for me personally is DECORATING this bitch with TLC mang.so i placed a couple strawberries around the rim of the cake and i had melted some Ghiradelli chocolate chips and drizzled some designs over the cake by doing so i just used a regular fork. as you can see, i had many left over strawberries there in the corner because i originally WANTED to place one sliced heart strawberry on top of each cupcake.but i thot about it, it wont make sense to do so cuz the tastes dont mix. strawberries, the berry flavor on a red velvet cake mix. no no. so i had left over strawberries for thee familia to munch on. hahha... Now... on to the cupcakes.so with the batter i fit 12 at a time to bake. oh yes! be sure to have TOOTH PICKS in hand so u can poke in the center of the cup cakes or cakes to check if its ready.usually they are ready when barely any slobber from the mix stain the pick. now they are ready to be baked! after they're done, take them out and place on top of a wax paper (so its a easy clean-up) and let cool BEFORE YOU START FROSTING kids!be sure to wear oven mitts while handling the non-stick cupcake pan that just hopped out of the oven, PLEASE DONT BURN YOURSELF!after they're cooled off you can feel free and frost them, but u can also skip this step if you don't prefer frosting on your cupcakers.when i had ran out to copp them strawberries at Safeway for the cake, i also grabbed myself two GIANT PINK DONUT boxes in the bakery section, they should be right by the donuts. THEY'RE FREE! so ya'll know where to get them if ya'll need'em! (:so after baking i had to wrap his gifts real quick before i started to get ready. yea he likes Hennessy as you can tell. lol, so i grabbed a smaller bottle for HIMSELF to drink; but of course his nice self shared with his boys.

now on to dinner, we ate at Rin's Thai Food Restaurant; i had yelped this place. the food here is pretty good and the service was not bad either. feel free to check out their YELP review by clicking on the name link.so on to opening gifts. here he is opening a gift from our homegirl Griselda. now my gifts. i got him a 2 set of Yoshi Blade, if you guys don't know what it is. please go look at their infomercial. lol. he seemed to really like his gift. he was like 'oooh! i cant wait to try these out!'then perfect timing they bring out his birthday cake and we all sang him happy birthday :D after dinner we decided to go bar hopping down on Broadway street. we went to our first TITTY BAR at Condor on broadway. the girls werent all that hot, but this one chick was CHEEKIN' (aka she has booty), so my homegirl manda&i bought him a PRIVATE VIP LAPDANCE from her. her name was Isas, i'm pretty sure it's her stripper name. she was like a punk rocker type chick, tatted up and everythang; she was really friendly. she was the prettiest one there. lol. then we went over to next door to our first STRIP CLUB. lol. then went back to homie Omar's place and just kicked it and made thee bf drink some more til he was GONNNNNNNE. hahha....i think he had a GREAT time. what'chall think? heh. alright, until the next blog guys & girls. i hope ya'll have a great weekend! toodles! *deuce deuce*

2010-04-22T19:19:00.000-07:00

[ Brandy ft. Neyo - Decisions ]

Some days I just wish life were a bit simpler. You remember how when you were a kid, everything seemed extra amp’d? Colors seem more vibrant, days lasted longer, happiness was fuller through your eyes, and you were just unstoppable. But now, you see your world crumbling little by little; people struggling left and right of you. Now you and your family seem to be stuck in this world for survival. Everyone has his or her baggage, problems, issues, situations; that’s what’s been keeping us together as one. That is one huge thing we all have in common no matter what color, shape, shade, religion, beliefs; it don't matter because in the end we’re all at a struggle. I just felt like I had to vent a little, my bad if this blog seem a bit downing for some of ya’ll; some times you just need to vent and spill out your heart and guts. Take a breather from your every day life yanno? It’s as if we are programmed to do the same thing every single day for the rest of our last breathing life. Maybe I’m not making sense or maybe I am. Depends how you see this, if ya’ll know me, ya’ll know I’m definitely a daydreamer; these things do cross paths into my daily dreams. You just can’t help but think how much longer can everyone hold on? How much longer can your family hold on? Can you hold on for the sake of the ones you love most? Or is love just an overrated myth? Maybe our brains were shot up with an IV – dose of love before we we’re even able to have one underestimation thought of it. Whatever it is, Love is what keeping us going like an energizer bunny which been charged and wired up. Why do people do things that are considered ‘wrong’ or ‘right’? Why is it that every single aspect of our lives is being judged? Or has a rule, restriction, or tamer? I really don’t know, these are questions that not any human mind sum up on the daily basis. Why am I the unusual one from the rest? Just because I think about this and they don’t? Does that mean I don’t belong in this world? The other day my sister had asked me when did grandma (my mom’s mom) die while she was in the living room with my mom and aunts (from my dad’s side) talking. For a quick recap, I am extremely close with my grandmother; she basically took care of me as I grew up. Took me to elementary school there and back home, fed me after school and what not. Because my parents had to work, siblings had school; so I was hanging out with my grandmother a lot when she was here. It still hurts to this very day to hear about my grandmother, so when she asked when she had passed; I looked at my left hand (where my tat of her rip date is) and my eyes just filled up in tears. I didn’t cry, but it’s amazing how a human heart can be filled with so much pain still over the years. I overheard my mom mention to my aunts, explaining why they had asked me for the exact date and why I would know because I loved my grandmother very much and how close to her I was, so I had her tatted on my left hand. So for the rest of my life and the days I live I can see her every morning as I wake up. My aunts were surprised how close I was, to see that my mom couldn’t even remember the exact date and had to ask me. And I know every one still has wounds from their past, but it’s okay because you’re not alone; just remember how you are feeling, someone out there is having it 10x worse than what you’re going through. You know how that goes, when something is old news, such as a old cut on your skin; it doesn’t matter any more to others after that ‘moment’ has passed, but what if you’re alone and that wound had opened up again? You don’t want to be a pain in the ass and mention/show it again to them, so you stay quiet and keep it to yourself; even if it is the closest person to your heart. Because YOU DON’T WANT TO BE A BOTHER. That is why I write, since I was twelve; journals, diaries, now blogs. Rather if you care of not, I don't care, this is for my own personal reference; it is MY journal. SOMEWHERE I can put my feelings to, black and white ink; many people don’t understand what’s with blogging, why write your shit out to the open public? Well for me personally I feel that when I post my perspectives out to the open view, that maybe someone out there in the other side of the world can come across it and can relate because they are going through something similar and don't have to feel all alone. Yanno? Some times what's wrong can feel so right. Someone once told me YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE in the life you are in now. So why NOT make the best of it? Thank You if you had read to this point in my blog. That you finished reading my whole random vent blog. Until the next blog, you guys try to appreciate the smaller things in life and not worry about the bigger things so much because 95% of an average person's time goes to stressing over the BIGGER USELESS THINGS that are mainly MATERIALISTIC in life, what's left is that 5% of you. That last 5% of you is YOURS, try to make the most of it and savor.

Goodbye MY BELOVED SpringBreak 2010!

2010-04-04T22:13:00.000-07:00

[ Watching : Charmed ]

hello my loves,
this Spring Break was ONE of the best ones i ever had yet :) it all started on Thursday 04/01/10 morning at round 2am-ish, Juls and I had to run couple errands, he needed to stop by Walmart to exchange some stuff. So we headed out to Union City (which is the only 24hr Walmart) but unfortunately their customer service was closed and we couldn't exchange it. So that was a bummer and Juls had a surprise for me; he threw in a destination into his Navi. And I'm thinkin whats goin on, he tells me we're heading out to LOS ANGELES afterall (b/c we planned to go already this Spring Break but decided not to go in the end), so then we rushed home to pack a small luggage for the trip. Also booked a room at the Kyoto Hotel which was located Downtown La and tickets to 6 Flags Magic Mountain. headed out from SF at 4ish am with the whackk ass weather of rain and cold wind and arrived to LA to a sunny ass day at round 9ish., since we're early and our room wasn't ready yet we decided to go Grab some brunch since we haden't eaten. Yelped around a place that's close to the hotel that was open so early, and i had found Thai City right near Downtown. Juls smart ass used his Navi and went to the wrong City Thai restaurant and ended out in Pasadena instead. but its koo, it was still good. After that we headed back to our room so we can freshen up and have a day of fun at Six Flags Magic Mountain! here are some of the views around our hotel. i was being a straight up tourist :D hahah... Juls was siked that they had a big ass screen outside with the current live games. he was like "WOW, YOU CAN HELLA JUST SIT OUT HERE ON A NICE DAY WITH SOME POPCORN AND WATCH THE GAME". hah. he so wish we had that in the city. i LOVE LA weather and all but i hate the fact that where ever you're going, you HAVE to hit the highway to get anywhere! its ridiculous even if places are close u still have to use to freeway therefore traffic all the time. whackkk. my look of the day, no shadows; simple look w/ heavy bronzer.Juls look of the day, his GLUED on D&G sunglasses and his HUF shirt of the AT&T Giants Stadium. he loves reppin our city. is it obvious? -_-can you tell Juls was quite concentrating on the road? hah. thats because we're not use to the CRAZY LA driving, everyone smashin at fcukin 50-60's on the street and 80-90's on highways. and the roads are always clustered, felt like you got no room to breathe up in this bitch. here are some quick snap shots of the downtown scenes i manage to get. its pretty crazy. Juls and i think its more of the Mission side like in the city. they got crackheads, dealers, side shows, jewelry stores out in the open. felt almost like home. hah. even got Palatero mans selling them creamsicles. alright, here we are lining up for the X2; never rode on it yet. the ride was fun, iono if it was worth the wait; but it was a good ride tho. after a few rides, we had to take a break; or at least i did. to give my head a break from all the spinnings and loops. got a drink, a brownie, and blueberry muffin. the brownie wasn't overly sweet even tho it looks like it is surprisingly. cuz i can't handle shit thats over sweet, like chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and shit. thats waaay too much for me. the brownie brought back old child hood memories when they sold the individual small packaged brownies with walnuts at corner stores (if any of ya'll know what i'm talkin bout), so i really liked it. but that shit was pretty crackin. yummmmy. nice and sweet in my mouth. if only they were some special brownies, the rides would've been a trip! as for that blueberry muffin it was wayy to cold and got harden from being in the fridge too long. booooo. after a long day of fun, headed back to the hotel for a nap then off to dinner. we planned to go to a sushi bar restaurant near by after our quick nap since the restaurant doesn't close til 11pm. but UNFORTUNATELY, we overslept til like 1am!! so we missed the restaurant ): and had to yelp around for another sushi place. cuz we really wanted some sushi. we found another sushi place that was like couple miles away that closes at 2am, so decided to go there. so with my bare face and all, we rushed out to get there before they close; cuz we were starved! we got there and they were closed!! because they were closed that day... which was SUPER PLAYYYYYYED. there was a place opened right by the restaurant that was 24hours, so we just settled for this place called Tomy's which you can see my Yelp review on it. i ordered their Chilly Cheese Hot Dog with a side of Onion Rings. i thot it was weird that they had tomatoes and relish on a chilly cheese dog?? after that ridiculous late night bite we headed back to the hotel to rest cuz we had to leave early the next day. Because we we're goin to go outlet shopping before heading back home to our city. i took a few quick photos of Jul's car, since i never showed ya'll the rear which MAKES THE CAR unique :D the next morning we got up around 12pm to grab some brunch, yelped some places and found this little breakfast place called Nat's Early Bite Coffee Shoppe; which was thee best little brunch place you can find. everything was home-made and yummy! super quick service, awesome food; and home-made. what else can you ask for man. after breakfast we headed out to outlets that were on the way home. did i mention they served breakfast all day long too! so we went to the Camarillo's 160 Outlet Stores. babe checks out the directory to find the stores we want to shop at. i was shopping in this one store and i let Juls pick out some tops for me that he liked me to try on. here is one of them, preferably its not my typical style. he liked it tho. to our surprise while we was shopping babe's pops tells us to stay another night and enjoy LA and that he was down to cover one night of hotel for us to stay longer. we we're like FASHOOOOOOO! haha.... so we definitely had to upgrade from the last hotel.so we booked a different hotel this time in the heart of Hollywood Roosevelt's Hotel. which was a 4star hotel, and damn its pretty nice here. check out our room we got. hehe. it was definitely a UPGRADE from our room at Kyoto's. the best part to me of this room was the BED. King size, more space to roll around and comforters. felt like i was on a cloud. we settled down with our luggage and shit, freshened up once more. headed on out to dinner & a movie. Juls had found a little italian place called Osteria LA BUCA cuz he knows i love italian. i must say this place had the BEST TIRAMISU i had EVER HAD in my life. no joke! it was nice and fluffy, perfectly sweetened. i loved it. the food was good, service was great, dessert was just the icing on top of a cake. after that we made it to the perfect show time for my well waited movie CLASH OF THE TITANS that i've been waiting to watch! btw, this shit was good! i liked it very much. as we were lookin for parking in the lot, guess who we bump into?!?! yes. it is Dorian Gregory a.k.a Darrell Morris from Charmed! which is one of my favoritest tv series besides Friends. i grew up watching this show. so i had to take a photo with this fella. nigga is superrr tall man (we're matching almost), how ironic. hah. but he was really nice about me coming up and asking for a photo with him. damn, he gotten older. hah. but so have i, i was like 11-12 when i watched the show! hahah... that was pretty cool. the next day we headed over to Universal Studios because Juls haven't been there since he was like 7 and i never been there. i'mma leave this blog with this photo. surprisingly this shit was pretty good. the Simpson's ride was hella fun too, but i must say the best ride was THE MUMMY. shit was a trip!! definitely ride that one if ya'll go to US! this was a perfect get-a-way trip that was in need for both me and juls. we had a blast. feel very rejuvenated now. i hope ya'll enjoyed reading my trip as much as i did being there! toodles!

that didnt last... faded to a nasty orangey red. blahhh. shit had to go! this is before i chopped off all my hair!!! btw, no foundation!!! the good old days.

Outter corner smokes w/ bright lips.

surprisingly the color stayed pigmented for a long time. i say approximately 4-5months! crazy i know right.

Lunar Valentines

2010-02-22T01:50:00.000-08:00

[ Emil Chau - Qi Shi Bu Xiang Zou ]

hello hello,
its that time of year again; no not christmas. i mean Lunar New Year & the holiday we all dread the most; Valentines. even tho i have someone to celebrate with this Vday, i still feel like its a useless holiday; cuz i KNOW how it feels to be alone...And to have an OFFICIAL day to remind you that oh yea... you're alone is whack as fcukk. its just a day to drench out the men's wallets, which is kind of fcuked up in my opinion. so i never expect anything for Vday from thee bf :) cuz i dont like him spending on me, i rather he spend on some shit for himself namean? it'll make me happiER actually. on the reals. sooo... this year Lunar New Year's has landed on the same day as Valentines day. but i managed to get that day exempt from my parentals cuz they understand its also 'LOVERS DAY', so i had my family dinner the night before (02/13/10) which we call in chinese 'CHUEN NEEN FAHN'. early celebration dinner in other words. i did a look inspired by the Lunar New Years colors, and boyyyy did i get many comments from my parentals (cuz i wore it while we was eating dinner, i had just done it for a video tutorial)...wait, scratch that; not comments. more like BASHes. hahaha... my parents were like 'O_O! whats with the eyes eva. so colorful and bright, looks like firecrackers on your face.' (of course this was all in toisan, im just translating for ya'll). i replied with 'well mom/dad i wanted to do a festive look for the chinese new years, so this is for you guys :D' and they go 'oh...i guess.... its kind of much' (mom says), my dad was more open minded type of dude 'oh... haha... its nice'. but yea, dinner was nice; i had a good dinner even tho my sister has her own familia to celebrate the holidays now. we're doing good just us 4+thee bf joined us on the dinner. my parentals was honored and glad to have him in the familia dinner (really, its a BIG DEAL when it comes to FAMILY CELEBRATING A NEW YEAR DINNER in the chinese families). i was really happy for him (:

but anywho, here are a few photos of my look. enjoy. if interested in how i achieved this look me up on Youtube: Beezyfree ; im lazy to list all the items i used.

alright... as for Valentines Day, thee bf had already booked a hotel for one night at TAJ CAMPTON PLACE in the Downtown area. check in was at 3pm, but we didnt get to check in til 5ish cuz we over slept and babe had to run a quick errand, he had placed an order for a bouquet of flowers for me from Frank's Floral (my favorite flower shop in the city btw, we had our prom flowers from there as well, its on Irving street) in the sunset. then after that we rushed to thee hotel to get ready for dinner that night. apparently he had RSVP'D for a place called 'BELLA' on Geary Street, they had that Valentines Set Share Menu; so he chose there to try for the first time. you can see my review on that shit on YELP. one word 'WHACKKKK'. but as i was saying... so The hotel was amazing, i loved it; the lobby had Red Roses out for Valentines, they were gorgeousss. even tho im not a rose type of chick, its nice to see once in a while. here is a quick tour of our room. when you walk in the bathroom is to yo left, it had the japanese style sliding doors (i liked it). heres our bathroom, its quite big; i love that the mirror is huge :D btw, the tub was huuuge! u can definitely sit on the Ledge and just chill with a full tub of water. hehe. first thing babe does is takes off his outter wear and turns on that tv... hahah.... PRICELE$$. so this is the room, and there we have a vanity area for me! awesome! then here is the ledge couch u can lie on as u look outside the window for the view. heh. a big mirror for your conceited self + a chair to have SEX on! (which i didn't! dont trip!) hahaha.... oh yess... the look i had on for Vday dinner was a regular simple Smokey Brown; your typical asian girl colors. thats what the bf says, he likes my toned down regular neutral colors. he has seen enuff of all my colorful looks. so i kept him in mind when i picked out the colors 8) lastly, the flowers babe got me; he know me SO WELL. he surprised me with LILLIES!!! oh how my heart just melted when he brought them out of the flower shop. i was thinkin he prolly got roses like every other guy, but he KNOWS i love lillies [= and he remembered. even though its been hella long since he gotten me flowers. now THATS a keeper girls!

thank you babe!!! i love'em! i'm glad they are still alive in my hallway right now, every time i walk up my steps and reach up to the lillies and i can smell it in the hallway it makes me all WARM AND FUZZY inside. he has always been the type to get me flowers since the beginning of the relationship, i was NEVER use to accepting flowers from him; i told him right off the bat when we first started dating to not spend money on flowers for me cuz they die within 2 weeks and its a waste and its sad ): so i havent gotten flowers from him in a WHILE; unless its a SPECIAL occasion only. this was well worth it!!! hehe. alright. until next blog guys! hope ya'll had a great Lunar New Year + Valentines day! *deuce deuce*
