darling dear, you're welcome here.
made like ice cream topped with honey
but we got no money
BANG BANG ;; we're beautiful & dirty richhh.
I have DBSK on repeat. What? [wknd]
★F R I D A Y _ Eye appointment @ 2:00 which ended up being largely pointless since I didn't need glasses, or contacts, or anything... so... I feel like I just wasted $30 -____-. The stupid ophtamologist tricked me! Last time I was there for a follow-up on my cornea swelling, he was like "okay I want to schedule a regular exam with you" so I was like "okay" but I DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING DONE, DAMMIT. -___-; Oh well, I made up for it by going to get some yummy korean food @ HanKang with Lei! She brought her friend... wow, I'm terrible at names... Patty? with her. I got way too much food (but NOT Ojinguh Bokum because I'm stupid) : Bulgogi Beef AND Yukkaejang, and I ate like... a third of it because the portions are FUCKING HUGE. The lady was nice and boxed all our leftovers up for us, but she ended up accidentally switching my and Lei's soups, so I didn't get to finish the yukkaejang :'(. Then Dad got us Korean for dinner too cuz he didn't know I'd just had it for lunch, LOL, so I got my Ojinguh Bokum, mwahaha. :d★S A T U R D A Y _ I woke up really, really late. By the time Tivo were leaving for Amy's BBQ, I wasn't even close to ready (my hair wasn't even washed) so I just told them to go ahead without me, and then I really took my time getting ready, haha. I think I finally left at around 7:45, and then OMG THE DRIVE TO LONGMONT. @_@ I was in the car for probably an hour and 15 minutes. Some of it was my fault, I turned left instead of right after exiting US-36 and then drove in the wrong direction for probably 15 minutes before I called Ivo and sorted it out. And then I missed, like, every turn ever. And yea. But still, the drive even without all of my mistakes would've been basically an hour. Ugh. Never doing that again unless it's Big Bang. Anyways, I got there at around 9:30, and everybody was playing Trump so I joined in of course. I think I got 3rd to last, ahaha >_< But Mike won, which shows the accuracy of that game..... after that we made shaved ice and UM. My friends thought it'd be funny to cut a strawberry in half, hollow it out and fill it with wasabi, and then cover it back up and drizzle chocolate all over AND THEN TRAP SOMEBODY INTO EATING IT WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ME BECAUSE I'M A DOOMAS AND DIDN'T SEE THEM DOING IT. And Mike chronicled and put it on youtube -___-;.
LOL. Afterwards we just chilled out, joked around, called Allen, etc. I left at around 11:50 to head for Daren's house which meant 15 minutes of driving again back to Boulder. The roads are creepy out there ._." At Daren's house, Megan and Yvonne and Daren and I went to Wendy's because Megan and I were starving (I only ate two brats and the shaved ice at Amy's) andddd yea. I got nuggets and chiliiiiiii. And then Megan and Yvonne had to drive back again to Wendy's because they basically forgot Megan's whole order. Then I showed them the Big Show Concert DVD >D Everybody agreed that Asia just does concerts better, from everything from the show to the dvd packaging. Then Daren and I went into her room, talked for a while, looked at ugly boys we've hooked up with :/, and then I showered and we went to bed at like, 5.
★S U N D A Y _ So the plan was for me to wake up at 10 with enough time to get ready and make it to church in time for service, but of course that didn't happen and I didn't get up till like, 10:45. I had a really weird morning dream about Zach o_o probably because we'd been looking at his pictures yesterday. Daren decided he's Ben & Josh's love child because there's a picture where he looks like a version of the two of them combined o_O and then he has Lissa's boyfriend's name, LOL, so he's just a culmination of all my friend's boyfriends/lovers/ex's. Anywhoo I drove down (in yesterday's clothes because I'm stupid and didn't pack a change of clothes. Yes, I remembered PJ's but not a 2nd outfit) to Aurora in time for the tail-end of service. Ning Ning came! I haven't seen her in so long X3. She's really pretty now (she was before, so I guess I should say prettier). We had a whole big reunion, during which I had a really odd side convo with my busybody mother. She pulled me aside and was like;
MOM: I'm gonna introduce Ning2 to ANDY. >:D *evil conspiratory grin*
ME: ....what.
MOM: YES. AND DON'T YOU DARE TELL ANYBODY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WORKED OUT HOW TO DO IT YET.
ME: Okay... o_o"
MOM: Will you sit with them at lunch so they can get to know each other?
ME: Waht!? NO!
But then after pointing her out to TIVO, they wanted to introduce her to Xiao, so I guess my mom's plan was foiled before it started, lucky for Andy and Ning2 (unless they're supposed to be soulmates or something, in which case, oops). So since we wanted to give Xiao some time with her (XD), we took her to Pho, and then I called Wayne and Mike, and then Kevin and Jeremy were also there, so yea, good times. I can barely finish a small at pho now o___O. After we ate and were loitering in the parking lot, TIVO acted out what I'm going to do when I meet Xiao Gui and it was hilarious;
TEDDY (as me): EEEEEEEE XIAO GUIIIIIIII *runs and tackles*
IVO (as Xiaogui): *extracts self from pile* AHHHHHH GUIIII AHHHHHHHH
XD. We then went to Lollicup (again, geez, I feel like I live there these past few days ._.) and then played Trump, AGAIN, and watched the boys play intense Foosball, andddduhhhhhhh then I went home. I feel like Xiao is already crushing on her even though she's 2 years older than him.
And now I have a DBSK song, the only one I like, on repeat. What?
& I've also just realized I have a total of one week left in Denver, or in the USA, really. Excitement < fear. D':

what have i been doing!?
- CHINA: Read my CHINA BLOG. It turns out that BLOGSPOT is a shit and is blocked in China, and so I just made another LJ for that. But basically, it was stupendous like always, I love my family through all the drama, I bought a ton of shit, and my aunt and other uncle are fucking rich.- HANGIN': Just chilln' with my homies and my family. It's hard for us to get our schedules all to align because my friends all worked this summer at DIFFERENT TIMES, so we'd have really weird hang-out times. It's pretty much nearing the end of summer, and I hate this time of year when the vacation is wrapping up and people are leaving and I have to say bye to my friends all over again. :'( Alex and Claire already left. I miss them already. I'm also leaving for Taiwan in a grand total of 8 days, and can I just say my initial excitement ahs just been completely overshadowed by FEAR!?!?!?! I'm so scared of being in another continent by myself, of exercising my Mandarin (even though that's my first language, what?), of making friends, of EVERYTHING DX.
- BIG BANG: I GOT SO MUCH OF THEIR MERCHANDISE both in China and in America XDD. I love them. GD's solo album comes out basically tomorrow, WAHHHHHH. I fucking love his blond hair.
- CAMP XROADS: Every year is awesome, that goes without saying. I do however feel significantly old now; I barely knew 1/4 of the kids who went this year, mostly because of our age difference. After being a counselor for one year before this, I feel like it's another routine I can easily fall into and sometimes I get so caught up in the technicalities and everything, but I did get my own time for God, which was great. I was also put in charge of the counselor skit AGAIN this year, but unlike last year, had no awesome template so I had to WRITE IT. With a huge amount of Teddy's help actually (which one point being which we almost killed each other over an argument about a character choice), and I don't know if it was that good... but it was so long, we spent like 14 hours writing it (not straight @_@) and a lot of people said they liked it. So.
Counselors! Minus... Andrew. We have like 304958039586 of this picture, but each one gets progressively more ridiculous because we all have the attention span of a fly and started joking around. Makes for a lot of blurry mess.
- WRITING/SHOPPING/EATING/SPENDING TOO MUCH.
That's it in a nutshell. IDK. I don't want to go into too much detail, lol.

keel me ded.
Every once in awhile I chance upon a writer like butterflyweb or rawthornewrites in some sort of obscure fandom (like gtop in this case) and the magic running through their fingertips kind of make me want to give up and die and at the same time work myself to death all the more harder. I freaking need to start putting out good shit again. *contemplates own writing and burning everything I've written in the past six months*Labels: ficwriting

total eff my life morning. [ may 28 2009 ]
I look so fobby it's ridiculous. Also, my friends say I definitely do not look 20. Bitches plz.
This is @ Pajama Baking Co. earlier today! Cherry granola ice cream<3.
So I woke up this morning with my grandma screaming at me from my doorway. It's not as serious as it sounds; she can be really chill and she can also get really worked up, especially if it concerns my sister. My parents, sister, and I don't let it bother us anymore. Anyway, I was still half-asleep and disoriented so I'm not exactly sure what she was yelling at me (she is a 5-foot-tall scrawny old Chinese lady with a typical old lady voice) except something about me spending too much time on the phone and on the computer, and "you do noshing, noshing all day! And you go out too mach!" (thanks angrylittleasiangirl.com) and something about being sick. Wtf. So I slurred, "what time is it?" and she yells "ALMOST ELEVEN" which means I went to bed almost five hours ago. I sleep really late and sleep in during the summers so I had no idea why the heck she was yelling at me, or if she wanted me to wake up earlier, why she chose today of all days to start, so I just rolled over and fell back asleep. Proceed her stomping down the stairs, ranting all the way, and I hear her on the phone, still shouting (at one point my mom calls and she picks up and when my mom says hi, she shrieks, "WHO IS THIS!!!!!" XD). So I gauge that something's wrong by now and stumble over to the phone to call my dad four times, who doesn't pick up, then my sister because I hear her name come up a few times in the conversation.
QQ: Hello?
Me: WTF IS GOING ON
QQ: ? I'm sick and I've been waiting in the office for 20 minutes and you're supposed to come get me. Didn't grandma tell you?
Me: Ohhhhh. ... Not really, -___-;
So I drive the five minutes looking like utter shit to pick the sister up from school, and when I tell her what happened she, the security guard at the front desk, and I all start to laugh hysterically. I swear tears were coming out of my eyes I was laughing so hard, the situation was just that ridiculous. I mean, what did being on the phone and going out too much have to do with anything that was going on? I don't understand why she couldn't have shaken me awake (I'm a heavy sleeper), told me QQ was sick and needed picking up from school, and gone about her day without causing herself unnecessary stress. Anyways, I brought her home, gave her medicine, ate lunch, tried to stay awake, and then ended up sleeping on the couch till four. I told my parents later and my mom laughed her ass off for like, 10 minutes and my dad was like "omglol". I feel bad because I don't want to laugh at grandma, but, it was just too funny not to repeat. My grandma needless to say was pissed off at us all the rest of the day and yelled at everybody at random times about random things. Oh wai po.
Going with the FML thing, this is small but should be mentioned. Somebody called, I picked up, and:
Me: Hello?
Other end: *silence*
Me: Helloooo?
Other end: Let me put you on hold.
Me: o_O *stares at receiver* what? I don't even know who you are! You called ME!
Later on I was supposed to go with my sister to her winner's recital (she won 1st in a statewide piano competition two weeks ago, oh I do not miss those days of piano competitions) but she really didn't want me to hear her play since she was afraid she'd sound like crap (she hasn't practiced in a few days because of her sickness) so I went over to Claire's house instead with Alex and Daren, and after I spammed them all with more Big Bangness, who Claire by the way didn't think were attractive at all until I showed her a live-in-concert vid (that's what I THOUGHT), we walked down to Pajama Baking CO. for gelato and talked until it was dark. I wanted to get food but nobody wanted to spend money so I just got Jambalaya Rice at the cafe, and we continued talking. Daren forgot her keys there so we drove back to get it in Alex's shiny new Honda but none of us minded cuz the boy behind the counter was so adorable.
Cherry Granola ice cream. Sounds gross but I liked it. Nobody else did though, LOL.
Claire & Alex.
Me & Daren.
I went home and camerawhored because for once, I remembered to wear my straw hat with an outfit.
I wear my zebraprint leggings too much. There's a big hole in the seam as a result. I'll stitch it up tomorrow.
Also, what the heck is normal about this conversation I ask you:
Claire: Summer do you have a pleated skirt? Like, Catholic-schoolgirl style?
Me: ....no, because I didn't go to Catholic School? Why do you need it?
Alex: Please don't make me listen to this again.
Claire: Erin (her boyfriend who btw looks like her FATHER) wants me to be in it.
Me: Oh. ....Awesomeeeee....
Alex: You can probably find it at Fascinations if you really want one.
Claire: Isn't that too sexy?
Me: And what exactly are you trying to achieve with this whole my boyfriend wants me in a schoolgirl skirt to fulfill his fantasy thingie?
Claire: Oh also we bought handcuffs, did I tell you guys?
Me & Alex: O____O NO.
Claire: See, I still have chafe marks on my wrists.
Fantasies and kink are perfectly fine if you're into those things, but please do not share every intimate detail of your sex life with your friends. Especially if they have told you thousands of times that they do not want to hear it, and especially not if your boyfriend looks like your dad. This is just the tip of the iceberg by the way; I can tell you many, many NC-17 rated things about Claire's sexcapades but I don't think you want to know.
Big Bang's Until Whenever is LOVE. GD is an amazing composer. I'm sad it was never released :(.
China countdown: 4 days!!!!

mood ; drugged & disoriented
music ; until whenever - big bang

kou ke de wang zi. [ memorial day wknd ]
I'm tempted to start out the post with something about Big Bang because I am living, breathing, and rolling in everything Big Bang these days... but I will restrain myself for once and talk about Memorial Day weekend. First though!
Baby! She's really cute most of the time but whenever she sees me on the computer she always wants to sit on the chair with me so she can mess with my keyboard and steal my food. And I like my Macbook to myself, esp. free of baby-grease hands. :/
Anyway, Memorial weekend. Saturday I just chilled at home with waipo, but on Sunday I hung out with Lei, finally, who I haven't seen since like... last summer. Us and her boyfriend Tsai were all craving DOMO but for some reason they're closed on Sundays so we ended up going to Lao Wang's Noodle House (Lao Wang Niurou Mien) instead. I wasn't that excited at first because I get most of it at home, but it was soo good. It's run by an old couple and that's it, they have no more employees. The restaurant is about as big as our living room, and the menu is printed old-style Chinese on little wooden boards tacked up on the walls. I had to have Lei translate XD
The outside of the restaurant.
Guotie (kind of like fried dumplings) in the front, and mala dusi (spicy cow... tendon?) in the back. The guo tie were soo good :d.
My dandan mien (egg noodles). The flash washed out most of the color; it had a little peanuty flavor and I added a bunch of la you (hot oil) and it was really good. Soo much food. Lei got za jiang mien (sort of like Chinese bbq style noodles) and Tsai got wonton noodles because I guess Sunday is the day before they stock up again for the week and they were all out of niurou (beef) everything, which is their specialty. So that was kind of sad, but we can always go back. On the left is a guotie in brown rice vinegar and hot oil. Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it xD.
Hongyou chaosou (red-oil cooked with a sort of wonton, except more wrapping than meat). & Bok choy lol. Ahh so good.
Tsai finishing my dandan mien cuz I was so full and couldn't xD. He ate all of his, plus Lei's leftovers, plus my leftovers. What a guy.
Tsai and Lei. I feel so ultra white compared to them lol.
Lei and me. I'm already in food coma state, can you tell?
Afterwards we went to visit one of their friends, Long, at his work which was right across the street. I definitely displayed Asian woman driving skillz and drove up onto the curb ><. And this hispanic guy who was chillin on the sidewalk laughed at me, LOL. At the store Long let us have free candy and drinks and Lei bought like $15 worth of Lotto and scratch tickets, but every single time was epic fail. She won a total of $3. LOL.
After that we drove up to Boulder to Lei and Tsai's house and then picked up a case of beer for pong later, then went to see Wolverine at 10:35 with Long. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE OMG *_*. I wouldn't mind seeing it again because I'm sure I missed half the action cuz I was drooling the whole time over the fight scenes and there was so much to see. It was a really satisfying revenge movie. And Cyclops wasn't a tool in this one. And Gambit was soo attractive and awesome. He's up there with my favorite Xmen along with Mystique.
Then we went back to Lei & Tsai's to play some pong despite the fact that I suck bad.
Lei's doggie, Snowball, in his raincoat Lei got for him at the dollar store LOL. The whole time he had it on he was so incredibly glum and pouty. We were like "Snowball, pose for the picture!" and he just sat there looking sad. Tsai was like "it's cuz he looks stupid and he knows it". The minute we took it off him he started bouncing around again. He's a Pomeranian & Maltese mix O_O. I thought he was a Bishone or however you spell it.
Lei and me camwhoring. We started out on a team vs. Tsai and Long (guys vs girls) but we lost like 3 consecutive times (and I'm not even gonna lie, I take full responsibility for that because I made a total of like 3 cups LOL) so then we switched.
Long & Lei. Awkwarddd.
Tsai and me fobbing it. Awkwarddd. We didn't win any with this team either :( that's how bad I suck. But by now I was heating up; in one game I made more cups than Tsai did! So this time it wasn't wholly my fault XD. Long sucks too, btw. (My body looks so fat in this picture O_O Actually the shirt I was wearing is really loose on me and in all the pictures ended up making me look 3 sizes bigger than I actually am. Not picture-flattering).
The pong table. It got sooo dirty and reeked of beer by the end of the night. Lei called two of her other friends, Charlotte and her korean bf that I never learned the name of, to come over to and while waiting for them Long and I discovered we have the exact same taste in music o_o. He likes Big Bang and knows like, all their lyrics. Plus, he is the first male Fahrenheit fan I have ever met in my life. He knows all of Jiro's poses and the rest of FLH's poses for that matter, and he used to have Aaron's old haircut O_O, and he knows all their lyrics and his ringtone is Dong Mai XD (mine is YueLaiYueAi, so when I heard his I was like OMFG). We were quizzing each other on music for a while and both of us knew the answers to the other's questions of course. Too bad I'm not attracted to him. Ha. Although, when he laughs he has Jiro's face which is, odd.
While waiting for Charlotte and Korean Boyf to get here, we made a McDonald's run cuz all of us had the munchies.
More camwhoring in the car.
Result: 5 cheeseburgers, 5 hot&spicy chicken sandwiches, 10 5-piece nuggets, & 10 small fries. HOLY SHIT. I ate a hot&spicy and a nugget set, and then half a cheeseburger in the morning ><.
And Charlotte and Korean Boyf weren't here yet, so I made Long do Jiro's poses and HE WAS SO GOOD. At first he was like no, I have to be drunk to do it but I am queen of nagging (and Lei isn't bad either) so he finally gave in and did so many. It was so weird to see, he did it exactly like Jiro does, the look back-look forward-POSE-move in slo-mo. It was pretty amazing. So then I made Lei and Tsai get up and do it with me, except all of us EPIC-FAILED. It's not even funny.
Long and Tsai doing gangster pose (not Jiro).
Kouke Wangzi (thirsty prince) pose. LOL. This is attempt #3; the other ones apparently I looked creepy 8D.
Re de wangzi (hot [as in sweating] prince). Attempt #4 for this one. I think by this point I had given up. Long was like "you need to do Jiro's pouty lip thing" so we were trying to push our lips out and... yea.
Jiro's classic pose, with the ya ji rou (pushing on the muscle). Haha Tsai xD. Yea, i gave up. (I have no muscle anyway.)
Me and Lei are trying to do Jiro's cute-kitty pose. Lei kind of succeeded. I did not. Meanwhile, Tsai is still attempting to do Jiro's other classic pose. XDD
After Charlotte and Korean Boyf came by, we played more pong AND THIS TIME LEI AND I WONNNN!!!! We won so many times - twice against Charlotte and Korean Boyf (ugh, I'll just call him KB) who is really good and once against KB and Long! The best parts were when we made the same last cup or the last two remaining cups in a row, or the once Lei was like "get the middle cup! I just shot that one in" and I was like "okay" and shot not expecting to make it but I DID MWAHAH. Heating upppp. Tsai was cheering for us, woot. Then we played flip cup, girls vs. guys, and we TOTALLY CREAMED THEM. Five times. But I've always been awesome at that game. After that the guys went out for a smoke and we joined them.
Guys doing it Chinese/TW squatter style. I have a picture with me doing it too but I don't think I want to put it online in case people I don't want seeing it find it... Lei and I split a Marlboro and I freaking cannot do those. I choked so bad. I can only do Newports. Whatever though, smoking is not my thing. I just like how they smell X3.
It was already about 4 AM so we went back in and chilled and contemplated playing truth or dare and Lei brought out this really grody and totally NC-17 rated truth or dare game she got as a gift from a friend who had bought it from Urban Outfitters (and that store has some weiiird books and games and shit, so you know it was truly adult). Some of the cards read "Go into the kitchen and take out whipped cream or some other tasty thing, and then make bulls eyes on your partner's nipples and then see if you can drip water right into the middle of the target. If you can, lick the whipped cream off" and "Reenact your favorite position with a piece of furniture and make noises" O_O. So uh, definitely not playing that. So we played this Korean game KB taught us with a board and four sticks until like 5. I was really not into it at all and Lei and and Charlotte (girls vs. guys again) kept arguing about strategy and where to put our pieces, so I was just like la la la *zone out* the whole time. Plus I kept having to run to the bathroom because I had drunk so much beer AND WATER. But then it turns out I was like their silent weapon, even though it wasn't like I was good at it since the whole thing was based on chance; either way, I ended up getting everything they wanted and then winning the last game single-handedly for us. Whatevs, man. LoL.
Then Charlotte and KB and Long went home, and Lei, Tsai, and I went to bed. I slept till 4 PM when Snowball woke me up xD and then I drove the 40 minutes back home, and by the time I made it back the parents and QQ were already back from the mountains! And then I went online and discovered Dadong's MOMOLOVE HAIR XC >_____< T_______T.
But I think I'm getting used to it already. It just came as an utter shock to see him with straight bangs @_@. Also I watched TANK's new MV Ruguo Wo Bian Cheng Huiyi (If I Become A Memory) with Jiro and Selina's younger sister and once again Jiro had SUCH EPICFAIL HAIR O_o. But the MV was so depressingly cute :( and the song is awesome. And then I saw Big Bang's new Japanese single of My Heaven's MV and in that one, GD'S HOBO HAIRZ O_O. OMFG, what was with EVERYBODY totally FAILING AT THEIR HAIR UGH. However, TOP looked effing delicious. His hair was total success. But there was sooo not enough of him in the MV, so that was not cool. So that was my weekend.
Tomorrow, I am going to Alex's house to watch the Champions League Final (BARCA VS MANU! MANUUUUUUUUU FTW) at noon plus lunch, then maybe going to see Star Trek with Erin. I better not come home and find any other surprises about any of my boys' hair.
But yes, I am utterly addicted to Big Bang. ESP Top and GD, zomg.
I'm a total GTOP shipper (even though they don't even come close to my love for Donglun, though the fans make crazygood photoshopped images for gtop x3) but I just love them in general.
I looked up a few more of their songs and then got hooked on Everything (!!!) and Always and Crazy Dog and Remember (funny, because when I started out on this fandom I only liked and wanted to listen to their dancy/electronica-y tunes. And all of the ones I just listed are more R&B [ except Crazy Dog, which is just a hilarious song ]). And then Kim got me freaking hooked on their Stand Up concert and I've watched, like, all of it plus some of their Big Show concert and I SO WANT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AHHH. If you gave me a choice between FLH and BB I would choose BB in a heartbeat. I still love my FLH boys and they will always be first, but I would only go to their concert to see them and their attractiveness whereas with BB I get that, plus a guaranteed awesome show that is worth my $100+. I have been listening to nothing but Big Bang for the past 4 days. It's driving my sister nuts.
OH, I have to blog about the total TW-series-like dream I had about Jiro when I slept at Lei's house, LOL. It was so cute *_*. I think I'll do that after I shower.
China countdown: 8 days [SINGLE DIGITS!!!!!!!].

perfume and things [ smell splurge ]
My godmother works at a Macy's and gets all sorts of free stuff so she is always bringing by toiletries and clothes and accessories for me to choose from. Today it was a huuuge pile of sample sale perfumes! Some makeup too but mostly scents. I love smelling good so as of today, I have newly acquired:
+ Chrome Legend by Azzaro
+ One by Calvin Klein (used to have it, ran out)
+ Allure by Chanel
+ Chance by Chanel
+ Coco Madamoiselle by Chanel
+ Sensuous by Estee Lauder
+ Gucci by Gucci
+ Deseo by Jennifer Lopez
+ Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture
+ #1 Couture by Juicy Couture
+ Always and Forever by Jessica McClintock [ shimmer lotion perfume, 1 oz ]
+ Attraction by Lancome
+ Magnifique by Lancome [ 0.16 oz ]
+ Miracle by Lancome
+ Nina by Nina Ricci [ lotion perfume, 1.7 oz ]
+ Paris Hilton
+ Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger
+ Rock 'n' Rose Pret a Porter by Valentino
+ Princess by Vera Wang
+ Versace for Women by Versace [ plus body lotion ]
+ Bright Crystal by Versace [ plus body lotion ]
+ L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent [ 0.33 oz ]
(+ Estee Lauder metallic black & bronze eyeshadow)
AND, Nina Ricci silver makeup bag with apple zipper decor to keep it all in :]
I have enough to last me for the next, like, ten years XD. My favorite is by far the Nina Ricci. It smells delicious, like apples and lip gloss and pie :d and I can't believe it smells so good. I also like Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger and Bright Crystal by Versace a lot and L'Homme by YSL makes me feel klassy :P. Surprisingly, Paris Hilton isn't bad, while Always & Forever by Jessica McClintock, Miracle by Lancome, and Gucci by Gucci smell like shit. Gucci really disappointed me, I for sure thought I'd like that one :(. But maybe it was just the paper that I sprayed it on that gave it a bit of a weird smell. Also, Princess by Vera Wang and Allure by Chanel smell wayyyy too sweet for me. But again, maybe it's just the paper I sprayed it on. I'm going to be experimenting with scents for a while, that's for sure. My godmother says next time she'll bring me back the two that I've always wanted: CK Pure Poison and Daisy by Marc Jacobs.
I was looking through my scent collection after that and realized I was running low on one of my favorite perfumes that I absolutely love and has become somewhat of a signature scent since 10th grade: Aura by American Eagle. It smells like fresh laundry and daisies and summer and I'm kicking myself for not buying it in bulk when they still sold it. Anyway, I looked for it on eBay and found three sample sizes for sale for a total of 7.50 so I bought them XD. STOP SPENDING MONEY, SUMMER, HOLY CRAP.
Still, though, the best thing I have ever smelled in this life and I am not kidding either, is my Bath with Sake by Fresh, inspired by Memoirs of a Geisha. I got it as a gift from Maggie's mom a few years ago, and I haven't used it at ALL because I'm afraid it will run out and I will never find another one again. I have no idea what the fuck it smells like other than a hint of sake and paradise, but every time I smell it I feel automatically better. I wish Fresh made it in a perfume. :d
A whole post on perfumes o_o. I promise that I WILL unpack and organize my room tomorrow (er, technically later today) before I pick dad up from the airport @ 4. Not sure how that's going to work since I'm probably going to sleep in and then at some point Daren, Alex and I are hanging out again and probably eating and seeing UP (soo excited XD) but I'll make it happen.......
[ quick update ; Daren, Aleja and I were supposed to hang out on Monday but Daren was lame and wanted to get Lollicup. After I said I'd had it 3 days in a row prior, she said she'd see us on Wednesday -_-; and left for Boulder again so Aleja just came over at around 6, we went to Redbox and rented Seven Pounds and Bolt, picked up Chipotle, and watched them at my house. Bolt<3. Seven Pounds was good but I felt like I was waiting for the movie to start, the whole entire movie. I know a lot of it was supposed to be him falling in love with this Emily Posa girl but the title is called Seven Pounds, it's supposed to focus on the six other people he helped too and it didn't. I felt like we didn't get to see enough of his good deeds with the other six, since even Ezra was only in it for maybe 10 minutes. The whole time we were like "when's he going to help the other six?" So mixed feelings about the structure of the movie, though the message was good. Also, Alex and I called the ending about halfway through it 8D ]

the girl.
I'm Meichen Yu. I'm Summer Yu. I'm Chen. I'm Winter.I'm a 20 year old Chinese (fan)girl from Denver, Colorado, who goes to New York for university. I'm a broadcast journalism major hoping to work in Taiwan as a variety show host after graduation. I love my family of 100+. I've played piano since I was 5 (had it beat into me, more like) and guitar, I charcoal and sketch, and I write fiction. I Photoshop too much. I keep up with fashion, use shopping as cardio, love experimenting with makeup, and go dancing a lot. I am attached to my iPod, love and breathe music, and own too many faded concert tshirts. I dress eclectically; I have polos, suspenders, bright dresses, African print, and Converse lace-up boots in my closet. I'm a walking oxymoron. I can be chill and laid-back and go-with-the-flow and I can also be very passionate and headstrong. I'm girly but emotionally I'm a bit like a man. I'm rather blunt and oblivious and incredibly insensitive. I have a low man-voice and I use it to tell it like it is. I'm a huuuuge EPL (English Premiere League) fan and World Cup fanatic. I can't understand why America is the only country who doesn't see soccer (FOOTBALL) for the beautiful game it is. It's pretty much the only sport I keep up with. Also, I'm a huuuge Asian celebrity fangirl. Fahrenheit, in particular Jiro and Aaron, are my weak spot, though Big Bang ranks as a close second by sheer force of talent. I love Donglun slash. (I also love Reno/Cloud slash.) Often times when I'm walking around listening to my iPod I will daydream a whole music video (with me in them most of the time) in my head as a song plays. Other times I will imagine whole Taiwanese Dramas and cast all the characters. I believe my whole life thus far can be accurately summed up by The Googoo Doll's Dizzy Up the Girl album, hence the blog title. I also hope my future life (with Jiro) will be able to be summed up by Cheer Chen's discography. I eat too much, sleep erratically and usually during the day, party hard, and work my ass off. I have a short attention span and am pretty good at wasting time. Sometimes I get worried that nobody understands my strange self but most of the time I'm not concerned with working too hard at making friends because if it's meant to be, it will stick. I dream big and believe my life will follow as such. If you box your possibilities into a small space, your life will only be mediocre. God gave us dreams and the means to make them come true; use them. I love my good and fearful God. I'm excited to see where life takes me. I'm excited to be alive. :).
I'm terrible at summing myself up in these things.
