The W Clothing Swap.

I saw on yelp that there is a Summer Clothing Swap going on at the W in Westwood. The Concept seems really fun and really interesting

http://www.yelp.com/events/los-angeles-summer-clothing-swap-at-w-los-angeles---westwood?wy_s=$&wy_r=zsopMi41P1T8SXbukF6zbw

Now IF i had a car definitely I would go. I have too much like-new clothes that I don't wear.  I'm always looking for new mixes.  I wonder how the swapping system will work however... As the thought of 20 ladies diving towards this one dress another girl doesn't want anymore seems slightly unruly.


Lately, a lot has been on my mind.  I mean, I'm always questioning and wondering about certain things, but I've also been thinking about whether I am doing the right thing that I want in life.  Is this the career I WANT to go in? I have my interests and I'm definitely up for challenges.  But... I don't know.  The thing that worries me is that I cannot place what I'm scared about. I think I'm just at the rate determining step of my life for like chemical reactions... and I need to go over this silly but imperative "bump" in my life.

Nail Color and What's In My Purse

Had a bit of a nervous breakdown today right after I took my practice exam... but not too bad though. I went on aim put "FML." as my status and then proceeded to shower away my worries.  nothing a warm, refreshing shower can't cure.

So yesterday I found out how much of a nailpolish addict I was to the point that I recognized my friends nailpolish from her... get this... FACEBOOK PICTURE. lol.. oh gosh.

Mixed a bit of the Milani Blue (Cyberspace) with a Rosy Pink nailpolish as undertone.  Result is gorgeous, take a look.  I guess it can kind of substitute for the Digital-Pink Milani Holographic that I ended up not buying.


I honestly don't know the brand of the pink nailpolish I used underneath, its a matte dark rose color. The bottle is absolutely brandless... I think I got it in a set. But once I figure it out I'll post it up. The middle finger has 2 layers of Milani as topcoat, whereas the rest all just have one. What is cool about this mix is that the color looks different depending on your lighting... savvy for those of you that change fav colors based on moods.

now for an updated what's in my purse...



1. Purse, I like it because it stands up right... purses that slouch to a side gets me really frustrated beacause it's SO HARD to see what you have in it.
2. Wallet (I like mine thin and coin free! See 3)
3. I think this is THE cutest coinholder Because It has a little analog clock on it!  I can't stand loose change in my wallet because I feel it is really unsanitary and makes the wallet unnecessarily fat. This coin purse solves my problems!
4. Bus Schedule... no car... bus... no more needed to be said.
5. Contact drops for contact wearers!! I wanna reward myself with lasik once I get into school.
6. Mini Mirror/ Brown Shadow Pallet
7. The makeup bag that came with the TBS Tea Tree Oil Mini Set.  I don't carry much makeup so this size is perfect for me.
8. Portable Purse Hook! Soo useful for resturants.. I think I'll blog about this in another entry
9. Cheap $8 Oversized Sunglasses from Charlottes Russe.  I have this thing with Oversize sunglasses. I think mini frames are really taky.  and I totally don't know if this is medically true but I feel that the sunglasses provide spf for the skin that it covers as well?  Lol I might be completely wrong.
10. Sephora Lipgloss M bought me :) Shade: Rosy tint. It smells soo yummy. A bit sticky, but I still love it.
12. Victoria Secret Hand sanitizer.. "Pure Seduction". I use this EVERY SINGLE DAY.. it smells amazing and makes the germaphobic me happy. It's also really hilarious when guys need to use it.
13. heaphones for my ipod! 'nuff said
14. Flashcards to study -___- le sigh
15.  Pouch to put my random stuff. I love organizing my stuff... and I can't stand purses that have it's contents littered throughout the bottom.. I need an organizer bag and this one (where I got as a GWP at Clinique) is perfect because it's super light and cute.... also in my fav color too.
16/17. Cellphone and cellphone sock. Samsung U900. This is my love and hate.  I'll explain in a future entry.
20. Cute sparkly purple utility knife from Claires. SOO useful for when I need to use scissors or a knife to cut something.  Theres a useless toothpick as well.. Although the tweezers come in handy too. I left these in my purse one time by accident while going through airport security and I was so said they made me throw it away.  (well... obviously though :P) So I bought several the next time I saw them. I looked like such a teeny bopper.
21. My planner
22. Notebook
23. Key's and USB cord.  Now I live at home.. I don't have my own apartments keys anymore :(

Wow I didn't even notice I had so many things, in my purse.... 23?!!  And that's not counting the random candies an Junk I put in.  Although I'm pretty proud that I don't keep a lot of makeup in it though.. just necessities. Oh.. I forgot I usually would have Mac Blot or some blotting papers. :)  But really, the organizational bags makes everything so much more compact. See:

im bored, so i'll play highbrow.

Hrmm.. bored.  what to do?
aha I know,

overdramatic metaphors are fun!

A century's worth of notes makes it the longest goodbye ever.  But as new happenings emerge each day, it can can fade away slowly. further and further down until it is swallowed into the past pages of my life.   Just like titrations in chemistry lab.  Too little acid, you are too distant from the equilibrium point, but overshoot the acid, and the solution  changes color, ruining all that time it took to get yourself to the current position.

hahaha did this sound overly dramatic? If so, then I weeen!

Just for kicks!

REVIEW: DiorSnow Pure UV


Got this about 6 months ago on the airplane to taiwan. Pretty expensive, but my friend had recommended it saying it was a good base/primer as well as a sunscreen all in one. My friend has a lighter skin then me, and it gives a nice sheen to her skin tone. To me however, it gives an obvious whitish cast that is very apparent in flash photography.  It doesn't feel very oily, however for me I need to put a setting powder over it or it will give my skin a shiny finish... which I hate. Texture is on the creamy side and the smell is pretty nice.  Tubing is really slick so those with paler skin could probably keep it in their purses and apply based on need throughout the day.  Personally, I just couldn't take the white cast.  A bit too expensive for my taste as well although it didn't break me out.



Slight Sheen

all about music...

shameless plug of my fav song at this moment

Empty Streets - Late Night Alumni



The city feels clean this time of night
Just empty streets and me walking home
To clear my head
And though it came as no surprise-
I'm affected more than I had guessed
By what was said


the lyrics are quite transcending... 


On the topic of music, I found that you can download an album of songs from Starbucks Music Here: http://www.frappuccino.com/itunes

Offer ends August 31. It's an eclectic mix of indie alternative and chillout. hehe if it's free ... might as well check it out?  I like the song Rocket.. :)

day 22: starbucks ladies nice? yes. genuine? uncertain.

sleep 2 wake 9

mf: TTOW TTOT, 123/TTOL MIX, E, AVNSPF
EB10AM

My life these days can be summarized in 2 words

SUPER REPETITIVE.

I stare at a blank cubicle at the library trying to cram my brain every afternoon… and usually, I am also reminded of 1. the sound of babies crying and 2. how hard library chairs are.

Bliss comes around 6-7pm each day when I trudge over to the nearby Starbucks and recieve a daily verbal compliment from the barista as they make my tea latte. They train their workers well.


At first I thought they were fairly genuine.. which I'm sure they SOMEWHAT are.. but then I realized it's more catered towards customer service.  Which is fine. I love compliments, and it's a daily dosage of confidence.. NOMNOMNOM. (ok that sounds gross.. and it was ment to be a joke.)   Anyway. I think I'll start listing them down for kicks because some of them don't make sense. [B: barista]

Thursday's Compliment: B: I like your bag a lot. G: Uh.. Thanks! (referring to my old atlas bag)

Tuesday's Compliment: B: Your earrings are so cute! (they are hello kitty) G: Gee, thanks! I just got them yesterday. B: My boyfriend wears those too! G:huh? ohh.. your boyfriend? B:Ya, my boyfriend! G: Oh that's cool..

-_____-.

Today's Compliment: I like your shirt..... a lot. (the ... denotating around 3 seconds later... awkward.)

Tiny things

What is it exactly about tiny things that make it so cute?
So I was studying yesterday when my sister poked me on my shoulder.  Not knowing what was up, I simply flicked away her am.  A few minutes later, I noticed I had a little sticker stuck on my arm.   

Immediately I thought "OMG SOO CUTEEE".  Now that got me thinking.  If she had stuck one of those huge "Hi my name is" stickies on my arm with the same words, I might have just thought she was strange, and the present situation as annoying.  Same thing with paper cranes. Fold me a regular sized one, ohh okay. Humongous sized, omg.. huge, what a waste of space.  Tiny sized, "omggg sooo cuteee." ::keep::  Same with sandwiches. Huge ones, "nom nom!?" Regular sized ones "wuteva". Mini Sandwiches "Omgg so cutee".  Same with laptops.  Has anyone ever described someone's 17inch laptop as really cute?  Probably not, unless it was completely pink and blinged out with hello kitty and unicorns... then maybe. But in that case, another comparison would probably suffice.  Anyway,  I just wonder.  What is this obsession with linking  adjective "cute" to small things?  We humans are uniformly weird.  But I love it.

Oh, and I kept the sticker on for about another hour.  Cuz... I mean,  since I'm already cool, why not just emphasize it more.  (joking:P)

day 20

My mom is going to have such an awesome summer :)
I'm really excited for her :)

morning fix: tto wash, tto ton, 123, sunscreen , powder.

proof that my attention span needs work:

alb  2:58 am  smirking is a very strange expression
me 2:58 am  ppl stare at me
alb 2:59 am  you shoudl just show ur teeth
    and smile
    smirking is creepy
me 2:59 am  LOLLL
alb  2:59 am  it can indicate that you're plotting something against someone
    or you're a facebook creeper
    or you're a pedophile watching child porn

alb 2:59 am  please rescind that question
Keep in mind that my friend LOOKS and IS completely asian.  No but really,  to back myself up.  I was listening to my mother and sister talk about our grandpa. Basically, I have a bit of dutch in me ... therefore my question to alb was catered more as in ancestor-wise.  Nevertheless, when I reread the convo, I sounded extremely ADD and off-topic. "thanks for listening friend" :P jk.
