A few weeks late…

I’m SO excited! No school on Monday, yay! I have two weeks to do my final, thank goodness. And the community college will be over on Thursday. YES. FINALLY. Now if only I were going to Disneyland like I planned…. boo! I’m hoping to escape to So Cal and Vegas with my best and my husband this weekend, I need a vacation!

This post is a little late… not that anyone would had even noticed :).

This is what I got my mom for Mother’s Day this year; Orchid scented stuff from Bath & Body Works (since she loves Orchid’s), a Nora Roberts book set and I also included a copy of The Clearing since it’s my favorite book of the year (so far).

All wrapped up and ready for her to find!

I got a new webcam (thanks to my buddy JD who gave me a $100 Visa gift card and told me to splurge it… so splurge it, I did!) and it’s amaaaazing. I love it! And it was cool cause it was $80 at Fry’s Electronics but $50 on Amazon. Oh the reasons why I love Amazon are endless!

As you can see, the focus on this is amazing! It’s like having macro on your webcam!

I’m obsessed with eating Panera Bread (BBQ Chicken Salad with diced egg and Wild Rice soup) and Chipotle. I blame my husband for the Chipotle obsession. But I can’t eat it unless he soaks my rice with lemon juice, which he usually gladly does :).

Another obsession? Bokchoy Boys! They’re $.50 vending machine Ninja toys. Every time I eat at Fry’s Electronics (their Cafe has the BEST Club sandwich I’ve ever had) I have to get one… or three of these! Drives my husband crazy haha! But look at him, isn’t he cute? I’m missing 4 out of the 12 right now! Oh and this picture was taken on my new webcam :).

Finally got to dine at Olive Garden after a very very long break. I’m not much of a drinker (anymore) and I definitely don’t like wine or beer. But I love Moscato! Maybe because it doesn’t really taste like wine…

I’ve stopped buying makeup and started buying books. Goin back to my roots! But seriously, this is getting dangerous lol. I’ve been going on crazy book buying spree’s.

This isn’t even half of the books I’ve bought in the last two months! I have books everywhere! I just finished Perfect Chemistry this morning and I have to say, it’s right up there with The Clearing. Amazing story, suspenseful, real, raw and intoxicating! I’m excited to read The Faerie Path but I can’t start any more series! I didn’t know Perfect Chemistry was a series, grrr. I have this thing where if I’m reading a series, it takes priority. So I’m hoping to finish the Wings series (or what’s out of it so far) so I don’t feel this lingering obligation lol. Also excited to read Merlin’s Harp because it has a super pretty cover and Graceling because I hear so many good things about it… but again, it’s part of a series!

Oh, more books! I know what I said about series earlier but I’m kinda holding off on reading Fragile Eternity because I have a soft spot for Seth and Ash and I’m not really ready for their story to be over just yet… but I am curious to know about what happens in RadiantĀ  Shadows because it’s been talked about lately. The thing about the Wicked Lovely series is you get those first 80-100 pages where you’re kinda confused because of all the back story and details (not that its a bad thing, it actually helps you understand the rest of the book so much more easier) and I always feel so hazy in that area lol. My good friend suggested Lock & Key to me and I gave in and got it, its over 400 pages. Goodness lol! I’m kinda reading The Iron King, it’s kinda creeping me out a bit, just because someones stalking her and I mean its a bit obvious who and why but it’s just… kinda creepy you know?!

I decided… I’m going to give up on Eyes Like Stars. At least for right now. I don’t know, it’s just really confusing to me and I find myself saying “uhhh what?” every other page. It has fantastic reviews everywhere and I feel like there’s something wrong with me because I’m just not getting it lol. Ugh, I don’t know!

My typical school lunch :D except I’m missing my Turkey Melt lol. I’m so glad this class is almost over, the teacher irritates me. He talks to me like I’m stupid and every time he’s saying something about what you’re not suppose to be doing, he stares at me. Not only that, but every freakin comment he gives me back on my homework makes me sound like I lack the ability to write a complete sentence. I don’t know what the hell his problem is but even my husband notices that he pays more attention to me than anyone else, and not in a nice way either. Like yesterday, in class. He was going through a power point and I was commenting to Martin on the things on the slide and he was talking to another one of my classmates about a personal matter so I quietly commented to Martin about the slide and he turns to us and goes “can you guys stop talking to each other over there? You’re making it very hard for me to not separate you two” and it was just irritating. Everyone else whispers to each other and we get in trouble?! And separate us?! What are we, in high school? I’m paying for this class, don’t talk to me like I’m a fuckin child. UGH. Can’t WAIT for this stupid class to be OVER!

I thought this was kinda cool, they had Mario on all the monitors on the back wall in Fry’s. The little girl kept looking back at me cause I was wearing my raccoon Mario hoodie that day lol! As soon as they left, I jumped on the controllers! IĀ  <3 that game :)!

Mother’s Day.

Life has been hectic and emotional and stressful and ughhhh!!! Holidays this year are going to be a little different. And because of that, I worry about my mom. Even though I shouldnt worry too much about her, she’s one of the strongest people I know. But still, I cant help it.

For Mother’s Day this year, I wanted to get her something nice. And I noticed how out of date her makeup collection was so I bought her some new make up.

moms_haul copy

  • LA Colors palette
  • NYX Blushes
  • Flirt! Stippling brush
  • MAC quad (that I made myself)
  • ELF Translucent Matifying Powder (not pictured)
  • MAC Dubonnet lipstick (not pictured)
  • ELF eyeshadow brush (not pictured)

Martin actually picked out the LA Colors thing for her. I love how much he helps me all the time. He hates all this make up stuff, but he’s always there to be my swatch board! Hehe. I also wrote my mom a letter. It was suppose to be a really short letter but it ended up being two pages long! My bad haha. And of course, like I do ALL the time. I waited til she fell asleep and put it in her room.

I woke up this morning with a huge letter back from my mom. I mean, of course, every time I write her a letter she writes me back. I brought this up with my bestie and she was saying how awesome it was that me & my mom actually do that. I never really thought anything of it, but now that I DO think of it… it is kinda cool.

Other than the whole Mother’s Day thing, I’ve got a lot to get done today. I felt kinda bad that I couldnt take my mom out, but of course she’s going the casino today anyway lol. I’m glad she found something that relaxes her though, that’s all that should really matter. And right now, my mom needs ALL the relaxing she can get…

As for me, Martin forgot to buy me a Mother’s Day gift and card this year. But its fine, I didnt want anything… really. I mean, I wanted make up but, thats out of the question lol. He has a rule, he wont buy me clothes and he wont buy me make up. Cause to him those are disposeable. He’s got a point!

We did have a nice day out in Walnut Creek yesterday though. Nice weather, gelato, walking around and watching a movie. It was nice =).

Best idea ever!

A few days ago, I was waiting for my parents to come home and I was looking through my mom’s makeup. I noticed that her eyeshadow covers were cracked off, her sponge applicators were literally falling apart. Her beauty powder was worn out and the sponge applicator for that was all flimsy… it was just, depressing. My mom’s been using her makeup for years. I guess Filipino parents don’t spend much time updating their makeup til they literally run out. So since Mother’s Day is coming up, and I’m such a makeup junkie these days, I decided to make her a MAC palette. I was gonna make her two, but the blues/green’s idea I had wasn’t going to work. So I just made her a browns/whites & the boyfriend picked out an LA Colors palette that caught my eye. I also bought her some NYX blush ($.99 at Amuse!) and Flirt! brushes. I’m also gonna include an ELF brush. Kinda like giving her something of all of my favorite brands. I’m thinking of making her a MAC palette of all of my favorite colors too. I was thinking of getting her follow-up gifts for her birthday too. I was gonna get her a new beauty powder & lipstick but I don’t know if I should wait til her birthday to do that.

Martin came up with the idea to get my dad an ipod for Father’s Day, I thought that was a pretty cool idea. So yeah, I hope he likes that too. Gonna put all his favorite bands on there and some of my favorite songs since he always talks about how he likes my songs and stuff… follow-up gifts for him too would be a speaker or something.

So I just called Disneyland to apply for Club 33, and apparently the waiting list is FULL and so is the member list. FML lol. I’ll check again in September, I suppose. The wait time is 2-3 years. Hm.
