Annoyance and Pretty People

I know I am easily irritable, and I know I have a short temper. I try not to blame it on PMS, and I try not to be mad, but sometimes it's just too darn hard. Why are people so annoying? What's worse is that they don't know they're annoying me, and I feel bad for being annoyed since they're not doing it on purpose.

I don't want to start naming people because things did not turn out well when I was all too honest back in 6th grade. Let's just say that Winter Formal plans are making me annoyed.

Maybe it's because I have that strange need to always be right, and to always have things go my way. If you haven't noticed, I'd say about 80% of the time, I always have people agree with me, and end up doing things my way. Perhaps it's because I'm the youngest in the family, and everyone spoils me, etc etc etc. And to be blatantly honest, people tend to like people who are pretty. It's quite unfair. That's why most pretty people are bitches. I'm not trying to say that I think I am pretty, but I know that some people think I am. And it's weird, because once one person thinks a certain way, people around them just start agreeing, and before you know it, a majority of the population will all think like that. (did that make any sense?) For example, there's this horridly ugly (inside and out) boy in our grade, who everyone thinks is attractive. He's not nice, he's not cute, but at the beginning of 7th grade, some girl probably started crushing on him, and so everyone else started noticing him, and pretty soon, A LOT of girls started liking him. And they still like him. It's quite disgusting.

SO ANYWAY, my point? I shouldn't be annoyed, but I am.

Self Examination and Inkpop

Sometimes I feel guilty about being friends with people. Maybe not for actually being friends with them, but my reasons for being friends with them. Sometimes I feel like I'm friends with people, or show displays of friendship in public just for attention, or because I want something from that friendship. I hate to think of myself that way, but I can't deny some truth in it. =/

Anyway, I just finished reading a very cute story from inkpop.com, a site where aspiring writers (who are mostly teens) publish their completed or uncompleted novels, short stories, poems, etc. The novel I just read is here: http://inkpop.com/projects/8473/what-friends-are-for/read-project/?chapterid=13872#chapter I don't really agree with the ending, but it is a cute story.

PS. Jimmy and I decided that we're going to marry each other if we're both single at 40. I know that sounds odd, and maybe even unlikely (because I'm pretty sure he's gonna be married before then), but I might not be married by then. Whatever; I still have Jasmine and Maria, along with our 127 dogs and chickens. )=

To Joy

Hi Joy. You wanted a blogpost of something I wanted from the mall.

I can't think of anything I want that you could get for me. LOL SORRY!

Tumblr Challenge Day 3

In case you've been wondering, yes, I know it's probably been past 30 days already, but, no, I haven't given up yet.

Day 3:
5 Things that irritate you about the opposite sex/ same sex.

I guess I'll do both.

Opposite sex:
1. When boys act differently with their guy friends. You think you know someone and then you see them with their friends. It's so weird.
2. When they get ugly hair cuts. I know this sounds shallow, but sometimes I stop talking to people because of their hair. UGLY HAIR IS JUST SO DISTRACTING that I can't talk to them anymore! ):
3. When they try to act like gangsters, especially at school. Seriously, we're all nerds.
4. When they show off how rich they are. Well, I would hate that about anyone.
5. When they try to sing to you (especially in public!!) but they're really bad at singing. (Just kidding, I can't really think of anymore...)

Same sex:
1. When girls gossip. Boys tend to gossip less (not saying that they don't), but girls are just so mean! You think they're sweet and nice little girls, and then you sit in a bus with them in Washington DC when they're not with their "friends", and they start talking shit about everyone!
2. When girls do things to promote their popularity.
3. When girls tell other girls from different schools that they are popular at their school. especially when they're not. I remember in the beginning of 7th grade, my friend from Carmenita asked me if my friend from Whitney (we all came from the same elementary school) was really popular. It turned out the Whitney girl was telling everyone at Carmenita that she became popular. Please.
4. When you go shopping with them and they purposely say expensive things are cheap, to show off that they're rich. We're Asian. We're cheap. Stop that. If you honestly think that a $50 shirt from A&F is cheap, then I won't accept you as a true Asian anymore! (Just kidding, but seriously -__-)
5. When they act dumb, but they're really not. So many girls at school purposely present themselves as stupid people, just to get attention/ be funny/ attract guys?!

That's it for now. Don't take anything I said seriously.

Money, Happiness, and My Winter Formal Dress

We've all heard that saying, "Money can't buy you happiness". That's bull. Maybe whoever said that didn't finish their sentence, because money CAN buy you happiness, but only parts of happiness. I agree that the richest person in the world isn't guaranteed total happiness and satisfaction of life just because they're the richest person in the world. However, they're a little happier than the poorest person in the world, who is probably dying of malaria right now. Money won't make your life complete, but it'll give you something. I become happier when I buy something I really like, or when I receive a gift from someone who I know spent their own money to buy it for me. It might sound shallow of me, but material goods do make me feel better, and puts me into higher spirits, which thus promotes me to think positively. I feel prettier when I put on that Formal dress I bought yesterday. On the other hand, I could have all the pretty dresses Macy's has to offer, but that won't make all my problems better, my parents stop fighting, or my fish from dying.

On the side note, I bought my Winter Formal dress yesterday! It took me a long time to find it, but I'm glad I didn't find it until the end, because that made me feel even more accomplished at the end of the day. Afterward, Vivian, Erin, Olivia, and I went to Yogurtland. Mmmm I love fro-yo. See? Without money, I wouldn't have been able to buy that frozen yogurt, and would not have been able to enjoy those 20-something blissful bites.

Christmas Wishlist 2010

I posted one of these on Facebook last year, but this year I am only putting my wishlist here so that only my REAL FRIENDS can see it (=. jk. but seriously.


I'm not expecting to get these things for Christmas, and I don't want people to feel obliged to get me only these things, but I just don't want someone to go searching frantically on Black Friday for hours, and have me not liking it that much. because then your time and effort will go to waste. But a card is always nice! I love cards! I keep them forever (somewhere in my room) and I remember them always!

okay so anyway, if you DO wanna get me something, then here goes: (In no particular order):

• NARS Turkish Delight Lipgloss (it's kinda pricey, I know.........)
• ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (only $1 at Target!)
• ELF Liner Brush
• Maybelline Full 'n' Soft Mascara
• Maybelline Falsies Mascara
• A good makeup remover (I heard the Sonia Kashuk one from target is really good!)
• ( did you notice that all of the above are make up products?! because I wrote them while watching Youtube videos... Oh the joys of no homework. (= )
• anything from LUSH
• a good book
• a spy book ( but first ask me which ones i've read already (; )
• a jewelry box that can hold a lot of earrings and necklaces/ earring holder / necklace holder
• something that doesn't take up much space; my room is v. messy



cool earring holder!

• a good smelling body splash/ perfume that's not too sweet and not too flowery (ask me what I have already!)
• BIG SIZED (LONG) bobby pins 
• a hair tutorial request

That's it for now, but I'll most likely be adding more!
