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! 

I wonder about the UPS Guy

I was heating up leftover pizza in a pan, over the stove 10 minutes ago when the doorbell rang. My first thought was, Shit, what do I do? because I had always been warned about getting kidnapped/raped/murdered, especially when it's so dark outside, like it was 10 minutes ago. At first I didn't do anything, but then I thought, What if it's a bunch of robbers who are seeing if there's anyone home before coming in? Because then I would be in big trouble. I don't even have my water gun filled with vinegar yet! So I ran upstairs to look through the window and see if there was a vehicle, or a gang, or something.

There was a big, brown UPS truck. Why is UPS working so late? I wondered Do UPS people usually work this late?. I ran down stairs, just in case it was an emergency package that needed my signature, but as I was running, I grew suspicious, What if it's a trap?! What if it's a bunch of smart robbers who are using a UPS truck to lure little girls to open the door, and then kidnap them! But I went down stairs anyway, and I turned on the porch light, to find no one there. I opened the door, and there was a package from Amazon waiting for me on the ground.

I immediately felt foolish. I wondered if the UPS delivery man (or woman, I don't know, but usually they're men because they can lift heavy packages) was tired. It's about dinner time now, and he's probably not home yet. I wonder if he had a good day. Did his boss yell at him for being slow and make him work extra? Did he feel guilty about working too slow today and therefore disciplined himself to finish delivering all his packages? Or maybe my package a special one and absolutely had to get delivered today, and he's still muttering to himself about what snobs we are, making him deliver so late. Did he cuss at me under his breath when I didn't open the door fast enough, and made him stand in the cold for an extra 15 seconds before leaving? Is he going home now, or does he have 23 more packages? Does he not want to go home? Maybe he and his wife have been fighting, and he'd rather work. Is he getting paid for overtime? Does he like his job? Did he always want to become a UPS delivery man, wearing a brown uniform with brown shorts everyday? Was he a shame to his family for not becoming a doctor? Or was his family proud of him for doing what he wanted? Is he happy with his life?

These are all the questions that rolled in my head as I stood over the stove, eating leftover pizza, which I burned because I left the stove on during this whole time.

WHY DO I THINK SO MUCH?

Skate Canada 2010

I just finished watching the Men's Freeskate part of Skate Canada, and I am inspired all over again my Patrick Chan, and several others. I get that tingly feeling that washes over my entire body whenever I see really good performances. I miss skating. More than a year ago, when I officially decided to stop skating, I knew that, in the future, I would realize whether or not that was a good decision. And now, I know that it wasn't. I regret it not continuing.

G2G LADIES FREESKATE COMIN' UP!

wow. + Day 2

I can't remember the last time I felt excited for something instead of dreadful. That's a little sad.

so I realize I haven't been keeping up with my 30-Day challenge. huge fail, actually but that's okay!

Day 2: A famous person you've been compared to.

Mulan. Yes, the Disney one. The last time someone said I looked like her was just a month ago, while I was looking down at a poster I was painting for yearbook. I used to get compared to her more often when I was little, around 2nd grade. I had long, straight hair parted down in the middle, and that made my face appear longer; thus looking like Mulan Hua.
