actually just tomorrow and saturday. and i am not looking forward to it. why? because i will be working with a bunch of curazyyy asian ladies who will probably bite my head off. and yes, that includes the customers. why? because i will be working at westminster mall and there is supposedly a big event going on. another reason why i'm dreading work this weekend is because my boss (or supervisor?) will be there to make sure i know the products and techniques well enough. *sigh* i don't like being under stress. i mean, it IS just a part time job but i can't help but want to perform well. yet i really can't because i've really only worked 25 hours. wow. here's hoping for the best!
and i will try a new look tomorrow. hopefully it makes up for the bangs that i butchered this morning. or it might not. i should probably go to bed so i can wake up early enough to not freak up and mess up my face tomorrow. *crossing fingers!*

the miracles of makeup
so ever since i started working for shiseido, makeup has suddenly become my passion. well, not passion but i'm definitely more interested in it now. i actually want to BUY some makeup rather than use my single eyeliner forever. and all the samples i get from my sisters. well, i have powder and blush etc. now and i really want to learn new looks and stuff. so i go to youtube and watch michellephan and ahanhbarbie (i guess they're makeup gurus) to learn. it's really fun to watch and imagine how i would apply it. but when i try it on myself, i have to be honest, i HATE the feeling of makeup on my face. i feel like i can't touch my face at all, let alone scratch my eyes which i ALWAYS do. i just prefer my solitary eyeliner. well, i don't mind so much for work because i know i have to wear full makeup. and it's for money. i mean, i make money by wearing makeup to work so it's okay in my mind. but on a regular basis, i don't know how people do it. i don't even like to wear all that junk on my eyes to go out. i tried the whole eyes look and i hated it. yesterday i just did liner and mascara but i still hated it. so alas, i'm back to the solitary eyeliner. oh well. i think i'll save my makeup money for the usual stuff i aways buy: SKINCARE. hahaha i LOVEEE skincare products. and i think they're much more worth it. and of course i love to shop for clothing :) which reminds me that i just made a purchase on UrbanOutfitters. i'm super excited for it. i hope they fit right...wish me luck!

i'm sorry
i hate that i'm critical and condescending. i shouldn't look at things that i don't understand through those eyes. the harshness of life is ever changing for each and every one of us. i'm sorry. i hope that you peacefully rest. i will remember the artist.

it's raining
and i'm loving it. spent all day curled up on the couch watching dramas :)
i love to do this on rainy days because it reminds me of the time i used to spend with my mom and dad in their bed watching chinese dramas together for hours. on cold days and especially on rainy days. i love that feeling and today, i felt it close by.
there's a word that i can't think of right now and it's on the tip of my tongue but...arrggg!!! -____-'''
Update:
I GOT IT! COMPROMISE!
okay, so what i was trying to write but couldn't because i couldn't find that word was...
if i ever compromise my principles or values for self-benefit (i.e. love), i will really hate myself. so i'll try to live my life in a way where that won't happen. okay. toodles.

reading
i want to be a well-read person. my dad is one. he's read almost all the books i've ever heard of and some. but i can't. well, i won't (i guess). of all the literary works that my dad has introduced me to, i haven't found one that has captivated me enough.
english majors at berkeley are amazing. because they really are well-read. i promised myself i would use this year to catch up on my leisure reading. i guess that could be a new year's resolution.
and i always forget to put tags in.

splurged...so now i have to save???
so my xmas 09 wishlist included: boyfriend blazer, ankle boots, leggings, and some other stuff that i don't quite remember...-___-
oh yes! i remember now: a crossbody leather bag!
okay so...because i was in VN during xmas, i didn't get anything nor did i buy anything. i was thinking "yay! perhaps i can save money this year!" but alas, it was not meant to be. because i went to get my car's oil changed at sears. while we were waiting, i was "window shopping" at nordstrom and macy's where my eyes fell upon these gorgeous (at the time) ankle boots! i tried them on, almost danced to and from the mirror and lifted them up to see the price. $ 110 -----> :(
i listed to ry and stayed away. i didn't even asked if they were on sale (because there were signs that said all boots were on sale). i went home and did my normal routine. remembering they were nine west, i went to the homepage to just look at the pair again to satiate my cravings. to my surprise, they were 30% off on the site with free shipping! i couldn't resist. after another $ 83 on my already HUGE credit card bill, i now have my boots.
they were so cute. even when i received them, they were gorgeous. i tried them on again and i was soo satisfied. but then today, i wore tights and tried them on. to my dismay, my tiny ankles made the booties look huge on my feet. -____-''' they're still decent looking and i still have the look i was going for...but...gorgeous they are not. *SIGH* well i can't return them because i wore them out already thinking my eyes were tricking me. i could be obnoxious and try to return them. but i don't think i'll find another decent pair and i did get a pretty good deal for them? i will keep them.
so for some, i might have splurged on the booties. and now, i can't spend without feeling guilt. i did spend a bunch of moniess on grad school applications. oh what to do....especially since i didn't get a taste of the after christmas sales. oh the pityyyy!
