HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HARROW CHILDREN, 




:) Im in a random mood today.. or right now at least, and I can't think of a good business plan thing for class tomorrow.. so I'm going to sit here and blog, because my last blog post was in November - 2 months ago. 
Whoops. I'm sorry. 


My cousin pointed it out to me during xmas that she misses my posts, and that my last few were very underwhelming. Well, that's how I interpreted what she said anyways, because I can relate. I hate it when my favorite bloggers haven't updated in a while. Not saying that I'm your favorite blogger, but you know what I'm getting at! haha! Honestly, I was going to go back to my previous posts and write a little about the things I bought, but I got lazy, and really busy with school. 


How's school? WELL, I kind of suck... I know my faults, but fixing them is a whole other story. I'm too stubborn to get help from anyone. That's my nature. I dislike when people ask me to help them, because I like helping people, but I don't realize how much of my own time I take to do it. Does that make sense? Sometimes I feel like I'm ranting too much, and I don't get to the point. Anyways, this paragraph is referring to the table I never finished making in my furniture class. I hope to get it done before April. That would be my new year's resolution, I think. Get shit things done. 


Darned. I didn't understand when people told me that I would miss high school. I was like, yeah right, high school was stupid and I hated it... but really... I miss the freedom and the naivety. Taking the bus to ikea from the northside was an adventure. Now, we either get someone to drive, or choose not to go because we (I) don't have 2 hours to waste sitting around on a bus full of "scary" people. Maybe I've become a wuss. 


Oh look, it's 2am. My usual posting time. Does anyone else have this problem? When the most productive time of day is always after midnight? I can't focus properly any other time of the day. :( I'm always happy to know that a few of my good friends are still using MSN. it's a nice way to communicate when you're not on facebook 24/7. -.- Shout out to Walter in Brazil, and Marinco in the Netherlands, and of course the regulars. :P


I should make a character list of all my friends. LOL OMG, that would be funny!! 


TODAY... I hung out with Teresa... IN THE MATH LOUNGE. hahahaha. Her friends are soooooo random/funny. Typical guys that are super smart, but always can relate everything to sex. Uguh. We have a wonderful conversation about cookie nipples. ROFL. Okay. TMI, I know. 


I'm secretly trying to find pictures I can insert into this post to make it interesting... If you want to see pictures of random things... follow my instagram. I like posting random stuff. 


Hmmm... what's new... OH, most of you know, but I cut myself in December with a utility/xacto knife. I had to get 7 stitches. It's healing now. it's starting to even out. :) my hand looks gross though. I wonder what customers think when I'm using that hand to put makeup on them. Hmm... no comments yet. 


That brings me to the video my friend posted on my wall the other day, called "Fotoshop by Adobé" If you haven't watched it yet, I urge you to. It makes me laugh. WHAT are your views of 
using photoshop to correct one's imperfections? Do you think it creates an irrational view of idealized beauty? I personally think it is relative to the viewer's knowledge, experiences, and wants. A beauty blogger who regularly uses photoshop to enhance her features is xiaxue. If you hadn't known this before, would you have thought she was beautiful?




OKAY, enough words for today...




I was going to do a blog post in October on the makeup look I did on one of my recent facebook pictures... but I didnt... that leaves me with lots of random self portraits where I'm wearing too much make up. :)

I really wanted to use pink eyeshadow, so I came up with this look. 

False eyelashes make a HUGE difference. Look at my poor asian skimpy lashes. haha

Circle lenses. 0__0

andddd what it looks like without flash. YEP. 

Im sorry I couldn't add anything more interesting to look at rather than my face... I have more pictures but I can't find my memory card reader. :/ I'm thinking that I should get a laptop soon, because then it would have a built in memory card reader. Well, it's not just for that. I've survived almost a whole year without a laptop. I remember crying when I dropped my pink one in the Industrial design building and shattered the screen. :/ oh well. shit happens. Damn. Hutchinson can talk really fast. haha

OKAY, I'm going to bed. Night!

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Wow, it's only Tuesday night, but it definitely feels like Thursday! I guess it's due to the amount of sleep I've been having... which is not as much as I used to! Not as much sleep makes days seem longer. Although I've just recently bought a memory foam mattress topper, I haven't had time to enjoy it. =[

I had a rough start this week. I had to work on Sunday, from 11 to 6, and I had no motivation to do anything. It keeps getting darker earlier in the evening, which makes me think it's closer to sleeping time and makes work drag on and on. When I got home at 6:30pm, I just passed out until 10pm... which I then proceeded to procrastinate and browse facebook for 4 hours. Haha. Crackbook... I wonder how I would live without it...

Because I went to bed so late (or so early in the morning, depending on how you see it), I was grumpy and exhausted at 7am when I left the house to catch the bus. I grabbed everything I needed, and told my mom I'd be home for lunch so she didn't have to pack me one (yes, she still packs my lunch everyday /heart).

Today went much better than yesterday... minus the -17c weather and snow. First of all, I was quite proud of my design 302 proposal that I finished up during the night. Secondly, I got an email from the one card office to tell me that my card was found and was at the lost and found in churchill. SCORE! I don't have to think of the things I will have to not buy this coming weekend with the $120 I would need to replace the card.

After today's art history class, Cindy went home to sleep because she had her head on her desk the entire class. LOL. I fell asleep today too... that class is just too brutally boring. Nguyen agreed to come with me to the one card office downtown at 2pm. After class (at 12:30), we went to Tim Horton's in C.A.B. Uguh. They are the worst! The line up was miles long, and we had to wait 10 minutes for this woman to scoop chili in a to-go container and forget to give it to us. We ate lunch and met up with her friend, Jordan. Before we knew it, it was 2, so we took the LRT to Churchill. I picked up my one pass... and then went shopping. LOL I can't suppress my urges these days! I ended up picking one thing up at Holt Renfrew because they had 10% off everything in the store. I laughed at how grungy and sketchy Nguyen and I looked, in the store with our backpacks on, coming straight from school. Nguyen didnt even know what Holt Renfrew was... or how it was a designer brand store. Haha. I showed her a whole new world! haha. We then proceeded to get bbt at Bubble T, and made our way back to the University so she could "study". Yeah, right... If you can call talking about Pokemon studying. :) :) :)

At 7, I rode the bus home with Jessica L, and that's how my day ended. I am so pooped out after showering, I think I'm going to retire early tonight. Not without a couple of pictures though! haha.

P.S. I will be having another haul post soon... LOL I know, I buy to many things. I have everything chosen out, and I just gotta buy everything this weekend. ;)

This would be my silly design concept I am working on. I took the pose from a Maybelline ad.

Hehe, and this is just a cute photograph of Nguyen and I courtesy of Cindy. She had to take some photographs for her class, and Nguyen and I were fooling around. Cindy's pretty good, hey? :)

Hope you didn't think I wrote too much! Lol

Cheers,
