Most of the time, I like to appreciate all the little things in life. Those are usually the things that make my day..I find that the simple things in life keep my sanity in check.
- Waking up to sunlight shining in my face
- Playing with kittens with a piece of string
- Massaging Brian's temples and then watching him slowly fall asleep
- Driving with all the windows down rather than using the AC
- Seeing a brand new box of crayons lol
- Taking a nap in a comfortable bed after a long day at work
- Eating ice cream on a cone
- A brand new white chocolate Kit Kat bar
- The smell of newly cooked rice
- Finding a vibrant flower in the middle of no where
- Seeing the guys' reactions as they play Street Fighter IV
- Doing someone else's make-up/hair
- Blue skies with fluffy white clouds
- My car after it has been vacuumed, dusted, and washed
- Mayumi's artwork
- Brian's artwork
- Seeing people GLOW because they're happy
- Getting off work
- The view from on top of Mission Peak
- Laughing with Brian in the middle of the night, in the dark
- When the skies turn orangish/pinkish/purplish near sunset
- Saying "Choos-day" instead of Tuesday or "Shushi" instead of Sushi lol
ya'll get the picture.... :)
I want to buy a Nikon or Canon camera. You know, those big ones that you can adjust... I feel like if I had one, I can capture the simple things in life....I'm not really looking to get into "artistic" photography at all... I just wanna capture those meaningful moments..

New Makeup Part II
Top: Gold Rush, Espresso Lane, Plum Crazy
Bottom: Hot Ginger, Bronzinger, Crystal Ball
Today I went to Victoria's Secret during my lunch. I wanted to see if they had the "Starry Night" eyeshadow but had no luck.. Thankfully, they had other cute eyeshadows on sale... 6 for $20! That means they were $3.50 a piece! Victoria Secret eyeshadows are VERY pigmented (and I thought I was done buying eyeshadows-- I guess not!! LOL). These were too cute to pass on.
Another thing, I saw these two dumb girlies opening the packaging and trying on the eyeshadows like it were theirs...even though there were samples in front of them! AND they let 5 of them drop on the hardwood floor! I was getting soooo mad at their dumbasses. I was about to bitch slap them! I was thinking, where the hell is that "You break, you pay" sign?!

ART
My, OH MY. This photo is so beautiful! I found it online while trying to browse other makeup artsy stuff. I've been noticing art like this for a really long time now, and I know I can do this type of makeup. I figured, since I'm already into drawing/painting (I won't say I'm the best at it, but I consider myself GOOD at it), I could incorporate the two. I've been browsing and learning all these makeup techniques and for quality brands. Here's a few I want to buy but requires saving a few more extra bucks: Kryolan, Mehron, and Graftobian. I'm done buying eyeshadows...I think I've got every color, and if not, mixing eyeshadows into a new color works. I'm more interested in pigments, facepaint palettes, and airbrushing. Airbrushing is going to be exciting! I'll buy an airbrushing set soon...

Helloooo~ June!
Grades are in :) I took three classes this spring semester and this is what I got!
Spring '09 Semester:
Asian Roots & Culture - A
Music Appreciation - A
International Films - B
I'm proud of myself. I saw myself improve through the years. When I saw my unofficial transcript, I was able to see when my life was going down hill because it reflected through my grades. Last last semester (fall 08) I went back to school after taking two years off.
Fall '08 Semester:
Health and Lifestyle - A
Human Heredity & Disease - B
Seeing A's and B's are B-e-A-utiful! <-- LOL that was corny. John John also got good grades this semester! He went to school with me @ Mission and I really pushed him this semester...well, sorta.
Here's what John John got (I felt that this was worth posting):
Asian Roots & Culture - A
Human Sexuality - A
International Films - B
Human Heredity & Disease - C
He did a good job! I'm so proud of my younger brother!! Great job, John John!
Other news: My mother taught me and Mayumi how to crochet. Honestly, she's a bad teacher because she kept saying "okay, you do it like thiiiis" and then she'd show me hella fast. On top of that, she was explaining it to me in tagalog! Hahah... I mean, I could understand a few words but sigh... I still felt lost in translation. Mayumi gave up HAHA. In the end, I finally got the basics down - yay for me! I'm going to check youtube if they have any crochetting tutorials *crossing fingers!* I'm going to make scarves, and when I get that down, I'll make cute bags...and then when I get that down, I'll make beanies....then when I get that down, I'll make a sweater. Whoohoo! Well...that's just the plan for now though. I might just get frustrated along the way and give up. We'll see...
Me and my mom also signed up for a Costco membership today in Fremont. $50 bucks for two people for a whole year! I went there today and I couldnt believe my eyes... Cetaphil moisturizers are BIGGER ANnnnD CHEAPER than in drugstores! aklsjd;afioah JACKPOT! In drugstores they range from $12-13 bucks and they're in smaller containers. At Costco they sell them for $10 bucks in larger containers. I was truly, truly amazed. Seriously. And please take me seriously when I say that (hehehehehe).
Since it's going to be officially summer soon, I'm looking forward to Music in the Park this year. I'd like to be outdoors under the sun more... I need a tan!!
