aha moment

i have a moth trapped underneath my clinique lotion bottle.
and I am afraid to pick it up.

Six things after a tiring day

1. I have huuugee headache :[ so I feel really crappy right now because I looked forward all day to playing L4D2 with my friend tonight... but now I'm wayyy too exhausted.

2. I love this song right now! Far East Movement Ft. Keri Hilson- Don't Look Now

3. My Body Shop Haul came! I'll do a review of the stuff I got later.

3. Today was hella fog during my drive home. In my eighteen years of living here, this was by far the worst fog I had to drive through.

5. The following is a cloying amount of sweets I discovered in my room.... usually within arms reach. Something tells me I should resume my "junk-food" free diet again....

6. Alrighty, off to shower.. perhaps that will help alleviate my current fatigue-induced delirium.

Happy 雙十節!

Shoe bondanza

Jukebox:  Floating on the Moon- Michelle Shaprow

I will never be able to escape from the money-sucking wrath of westwood. My two recent guilty-purchases were all done there.  Last week, I went and bought an unnecessarily amount of underwear from VS.  And this time, I got some shoes.  Drove to Westwood again two days ago.. and I knew I was on a tight schedule so I forced myself to finish my necessary tasks first.... then I was debating on calling up some friends.... or.... shopping. Looked at my watch, had 30 minutes to spare before my free parking jumped the meter... "ahhh" hard decision, but I decided to I'd take that time to go shoe shoppin'!I don't think I've ever left  Top Shoes empty handed. They are like a little gem in Westwood with the best shoe deals for money-stricken college students... or I guess, newly grads, in my case.  Anyway, these are are my official new pumps for winter 2010-2011! I was debating between a dressy strappy pair or this, but in the end the leather and the zipper design stole my heart (and feet). As my friend humorously describes "It's like ooo a zipper, and then psychs you out when you realize it's the whole darn thing."  hahhahaa. my friends never cease to amaze me!    Too bad it is slightly too big for my feet. boo. Anyone know how to shrink shoes? lol. Nevertheless I hope I wear these well throughout the next few months.  However a sad news is.. that watch I was wearing 3 posts down? I lost it! Somewhere at UCLA :(((

get yo blogging on!

one of my ultimate favorite things to see each morning as I  turn on the computer or at night after a tedious day out:

Last night, I got a pleasant surprise after my tiring journey back from LA... checked my email and found my friend had got me Left for Dead and Left For Dead2!

 I've heard soo much about this game , and is now in major anticipation (and need) to start playing after I finish all my silly works.  Why a need? Zombie killing can relieve stress...doy. Indeed this was suppose to be a motivational gift as well... I think it has done it's purpose :D

I'm off to cramabam!

I'm starting to like the 5AM peacefulness.
Probably the only times at my house when you can hear the clock ticking.

LA dessert adventures!

LA traffic is extremely crazayyy... although I've driven there before... yesterday was the first time I braved the journey to the concrete jungle alone.  Lost a few gut cells in Westwood and on the 405, but that was definitely worth it. Why? I had soo much fun catching up.  Wish I had more time to spend with more people however. Note to self: don't drive home around 6:30PM next time I visit LA.

At Emil's Swiss Pastry on Santa Monica Blvd!

I got the Chocolate Tower Mousse.... it was amazingly rich and delicious.. mmmm... but after eating half, I felt really stuffed.

michelle got a delicate fruit tart, amy got a delectable pear (cobbler?) 

Then as we were leaving, the owners of the Churros Calientes next door welcomed us to try out their coca drink.  It was their grand opening day so they treated us each with three dainty teacups of cocoa! mmmm

I ordered a CHurros Largo with their strawberry dip (They recommended dipping the churros in the cocoa as well. The churros there aren't regular ones u find at costco or disneyland. They are thinner, and definitly more crispy. There is a really distinct flavor and it was made right on the spot. SOOO Delicious.. I want some more! Although... after eating that, the chocolate mousse AND hot cocoa, I felt I had a lava of chocolate in my stomach. :P
