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!

Spring is almost here!

HELLO, HELLO!
I’m quite sorry that I have been away from the blogging world for far too long. Watch me say this for every post from now on.

Industrial design has been getting more and more intense. The want I have to succeed has become greater and greater. PLUS, my instructors know what I’m capable of now, and I have to keep that up. FML, I should have just bull shitted my first few projects. Oh well. I have fun doing the shit that I do, and that includes the all nighters I pull in the industrial design building.

This semester has been the most interesting one yet, although I am only taking 3 classes. The two introductory I.D. ones and an art history class have been consuming most of my time… plus work, of course. I apologize to all my friends who miss me and have wanted to meet up with me… but I couldn’t find time. Time management is a huge learning process, and it’s taking me a really long time to understand that I NEED to get shit done every second of the day, rather than blogging and doing shit all. /sigh I have met new people in my classes, and it’s a lot of fun talking to each one individually. I hope that my relationships with everyone in the class continue to grow. J It makes me happy. Hehe.

I have been doing some shopping here and there, but not so much as I did a couple months ago. LOL It was the holiday season then, and I could justify my purchases! HAHA I just paid for my flight ticket to Los Angeles in the summer. I can’t wait to go back there for the sun and the beaches. The shopping is pretty good too. I wonder if I will always be a city type of person. I’ve lived in Edmonton my entire life, and I don’t travel very much. I’ve never been camping, white water rafting, and mountain biking, or hiking… I hope that some of my friends will come with me on an adventure this summer as well. It could possibly our yearly trip we take together? We’ll see.

Damn, I miss high school so effing much. I had all the time in the world… I remember taking the bus to ikea right after school and getting home at 11pm. HAHA… or going to West Edmonton Mall for the arcade… and playing racing games all night. Fuck, those were good times. I don’t think I would take back those experiences for the world.

Okay, enough with the rambling. I’m sure a lot of people would rather look at pictures… Well, I know some people who don’t read the shit I say and just look at pictures. LOL

SO SORRY~

I've been away for far too long, but exams came and the Christmas was right behind it! I've been way too busy to do any posts. I said that I would do a mini haul post in the last entry, but I haven't gotten around to taking pictures of the things I got, and what not! I will definitely do a collective haul post along with some things I got for Christmas... tomorrow. LOL.

I actually work full time hours this holiday. I have actually never worked full time... Not even at Save Ons, I never had 40 hours in one single week. Pretty Crazy. I'm getting tired of it, but it's okay. I really need the money to fund these hauls  (lol). I think that one day, after I stop reading blogs, and watching youtube, I will finally have a full bank account.Yeah, right... I do enjoy the time I spend on the internet though.

This is basically a filler post, because I haven't said much in over a week. Not to worry, because my next post will be better. I have a few things that I got from my manager at work (YAY! I LOVE FREE THINGS, and everyone at work knows it... I blame it in the Asian genes). I also went boxing day shopping yesterday, and I picked up a few things at Sephora, and LUSH. I didnt have a lot of time, because I worked at 3:30pm, and I left the house to go to West Ed at 11. Haha. Parking was pretty crazy when we ot there, but even more so when we were leaving! The parking lots were so full of cars trying to look for parking, that it was as crowded outside the mall as it was inside with everyone pushing each other.

Okay, I'm off to whyte now, since I didn't have time yesterday. I'll have to be home by 3, because I work at 4.

Talk to you all tomorrow,

That's so Vanilla.

I'm so addicted to this song right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hfw2Ov7Nto

Haha, not really into the MV though... /sigh

I'm currently in Cameron library 2nd floor if you're looking for a study buddy!
This is my little slice of study break.
