My first drink after turning 21!

5/23

This is the “Big Bass” and was supposed to taste like the Swedish Fish candy…didn’t really taste like it at all..alcohol content and smell was strong….;X not my type of drink…..I got to try around 5 drinks not including mine….the strongest one would have to be ____ honey cause I can’t remember the name of it right now :) some hard liquor a friend ordered o;

went for some dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory….also got some type of chicken cutlet but its not worth mentioning taste and visual wise….but was a great catching up and getting together with two of my good friends.

Random Picture Extravaganza…

5/21

Went to a sushi buffet with my family…delicious…love sushi! ;)

I’M 21!

Here I am, sitting on my computer chair typing on tumblr…about how I’m officially 21 as of 6 mins ago. Time definitely passes by so fast and I can’t believe I’m 21, im officially legal, I’m supposed to act and be an adult now…ohh the pressure. I obviously don’t feel any different than from a couple mins ago :) lol but hoping that the older I get, the wiser I get!

My wish this birthday is to be able to make more wishes!! :) i cant be that gready, I’m just hoping for good health throughout all my future birthdays!

hmm….tomorrows just gonna be a spontaneous day in general, nothing is exactly planned..ok that’s partially a lie…some of my good friends and I are going out to sing some karaoke and get some dinner……look forward to some picture to mark this special day in my life!

i’m particularly happy about this birthday because I don’t have a final to take unlike my previous 3 years in college.

to be continued….:) bed time.

It’s been a while…..

I haven’t posted a written post (except reviews and pics not too long ago) since like last month or something but i’m back. I haven’t been in a blogging mood lately and nothing all that interesting has happened.

The month of March and April have definitely been life changing. the good, the bad, they both happened. The good was me finally deciding on my major and having a designated path to walk through, my educational goal for the future. But, the bad involved loosing someone I loved and cared about dearly. Its already been a month and three days and I’m still getting used to the change. They say it takes time but it’ll get better.

The past two months have been emotionally and physically draining. with everything that’s happened and dealing with school„„it all makes me speechless.

Luckily, I got an early enrollment date to choose classes for this summer and the coming fall semester. Took awhile to choose my classes but in the end they kinda worked in my favor. I have random pictures I’ve taken throughout my ‘hiatus,’ so im gonna post them tomorrow cause Im too lazy to post them now ;)

sometimes I look through my old posts and I realize all my grammar and spelling mistakes but I also noticed how I always continue to change my writing style. Its either straight forward, crazy, emotional, meaningful, serious„„its a mixture of everything. I don’t pre-type these posts, I just type out what on my mind and what been going on in my life lately. this is all totally me. i’ve mentioned this before and i will mention it for the 500th time LOL :D I always seem to have so many thoughts about what I can type but I always forget them once I do start typing.

Music wise (korean music of course.), I’ve been really into the six member group, Shinhwa. They are the longest running boyband in South Korea and made their comeback four years later in March. The word shinhwa means legend in korean and these guys really live up to their name. They were popular before and they continue to be popular today. They have their own tv show called ‘Shinhwa Broadcast’ and I’ve been trying to keep up and I find them to be hilarious and so handsome :) I’d like to say that the members seriously age like fine wine!! LOL!

and the solo artists consist of Se7en, whose been in the industry for awhile too and he released a mini album in Japan and oddly I like all the songs on it. I was never really into his korean and japanese releases but His current mini album definitely caught my attention. The female solo artist would definitely be Ailee. She recently debuted but her music and her voice makes it seem as if she was experienced and been in the industry for a while. Her voice is super strong and she can definitely hold those high notes. The emotions portrayed through the lyrics and the song blow me away even though I don’t know what the lyrics mean. This is one of the main things as to why I’m so attached to ballads because to me it seems as if you can see through those emotions just my using you ears to listen and the feel that’s given off.

its been really low key and I hope things pick up a bit. I’ve been in the ehh down mood for quite some time so I hope something exciting happens and picks me right back up.

Since the start of this year, its been a wild roller coaster and I feel like this is one of those moments in my life where I’m trying to truly figure out my own identity. I’m trying to figure out who I am as a person or simply just who I am. I want to understand me. I’m trying to pave the path to my future……iono but I do know that its a crucial time in my life where it seems like I have to decide on everything when it comes to my future…….its been stressful and I can’t think of any other word to describe it any better.

my first final is rolling in really soon, as early as this coming wed. finals aren’t going to be too bad but i just feel anxious about my grades -.-;;

I’ll do well!!!

nothing else..that comes to mind that I could mention here…..

good night~

p.s. my birthday is coming up really soon and I’ve got nothing planned out yet. For the first time ever, Its not gonna be during finals week, i don’t think..im not too sure but if it isn’t then its definitely a day to celebrate and chill. The day I become a real adult….im really not looking forward to that date all all, turning a year older and i continue to feel like I haven’t accomplished anything useful in my life……I need a purpose in life just like those in the matrix movies...maybe im trying to find my purpose in life too…..perhaps it was something lost and needs to be retrieved…….we’ll soon find out.

April showers bring May flowers….

April is a life changing month………

Product Review: Kiss Nail Dress

I received a Kiss Nail Dress from Influenster inside the Love Voxbox early last March. :P

Here is some info I referenced from the influenester website Kiss Nail Dress review page:

Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Where to Buy

Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

I personally loved these because It didn’t involve having to paint on nail polish, something I dread doing because I can never paint a even layer on and also waiting for it to dry requires too much time for my limited amount of patience especially when I try to multitask while polishing my nails. These were really easy to put on and take off. They have a huge variety of colors and designs available at stores because I’ve seen them sold on their official website and also in person. You just need to file down your finger nails or toe nails with the file included, clean them off with the pad included, match the right sizes, take the back off, stick onto the nails, file or cut them with scissors so that they fit your nails/toes and your done. They are very quick to put on and also look like you’ve gotten a professional manicure. For me, I work on the weekends so I had to take them off after 7 days. I’m not sure how long they would last after the 7 days but they still seemed quite nice and in a good condition even when I had to take it off. Taking them off didn’t require too much time or patience because I didn’t have to soak them like some artificial nails and it didn’t hurt, I just peeled them off like stickers. Simple, Easy, and painless.

I definitely recommend this item to those who are interested in a quick,easy,painless, and very affordable manicure all in the comfort of your own home.

I forgot the design I got and also don’t have the picture of the item but I will comeback to update this info later on when I get a chance to.

I got it in the design shrug black and white crackle.

Thanks to Influenster and Kiss Nail Dress for such an awesome opportunity to try this product out!

Review: Venus & Olay Razor

I received this razor and just couldn’t wait to try this new razor out before it hit stores!
I am definitely not a new user of Venus razors, I’ve been a loyal customer for quite some time and I knew this razor wouldn’t disappoint just like the previous ones!

After reading the description and looking at the packaging, I had somewhat high expectations for it since their razors never had a moisturizing bar on them and teaming up with Olay just made it even better.

This razor was extremely convenient and also efficient. With its 5 blades it gets the job done quickly while the moisturizing bar helps prevent razor burns and also getting a as-close-as-possible shave the first time.

it smelled good and made shaving NOT a chore :D

Product Details

• Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
• Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
• As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment

Product Details referenced from Influenster website.

Thanks to both Influenster and Gillette Venus & Olay for providing us with a preview before they hit the stores officially! It made us members feel super special!

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

It is a Zero calorie, all-natural sweetener!

I rarely ever use sweeteners so having an opportunity to try something different was great.

You can use it in replace of sugar in things where sugar is usually used for that specific individual. It could be someone diabetic, someone watching their calorie intake, etc. 

This didn’t have that after-taste most sweeteners have. But overall I just thought it was ok because I personally love my real sugar! Its something I’m used to eating so I just thought it was a great opportunity to try something out of my comfort zone.

Thank you to Truvia and Influenster!

Review: Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash

Received this in the mail not too long ago, I must say, I was very excited!!

According to the sheet above, this product;

• Cleanses and nourishes skin
• 100% soap free
• with added vitamins: Pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E
• Contains skin-loving ingredients: Bisabolo

The information is also mentioned very similarly on the back of the product I was sent.

I personally thought that by looking at the product packaging, it would be all natural and possibly organic but not quite. This product is more of on the partly natural side where they contain no soap and no perfume or dyes. It is good for people of any skin type and great for those that have sensitive skin. It didn’t dry my skin out but it didn’t feel like it was moisturized either. I have oily skin. It did make my skin feel refreshed though.

Scent: scent was very light to the point where it didn’t smell like anything to me

Texture: felt a bit gooey, thick, sticky

Packaging: looked bright and simple, cap was a neutral green and tube was soft looking with a loft feel

It is known as “UK’s #1 Facial Skincare line!”

Thanks to SheSpeaks, Walgreens, and Simple for giving me the opportunity to review this brand new product.

Simple was very generous for sending a Full size product to review!

a good day.

I had a super duper good day today!! I’m feeling so much better than on sat and sunday! Saturday after work, I came home and ate lunch then took nap since I was so tired. woke up and had this throbbing headache, didn’t know if it was from sleeping too soon after lunch or frm my not fully recovered cold talking over again -.-;; took some dayquil (yuckkkkk!!) during dinner time. woke up sunday and headed for work and felt a lot better. then came home for lunch and had some more dayquil, not sure if the meds fixed my headache since I only took it 2 times…….but w.e. Today, Monday I’m feeling almost fully recovered from that nasty nasty cold I got like a week and a half ago!! hoping im not gonna jinx this -.- anyways, it was sunny for once within like the past week since its been pretty gloomy out and filled with lots of rain. some sunshine just made my day even better! got grades back in one of my classes and I have an average of 87% so far….oh the disappointment„, im shooting for an A here….i am no over achiever and never really was in school but I gotta shoot for higher achievements or I’ll never get the motivation to improve! iono, overall just feeling like it was a good day in general. nothing out of the ordinary happened so, nothing really special but it just felt like one of those GREAT DAYS todayyyy! mayb it was mainly the bright weather and my cold going away which highlighted it, but im not sure…………

don’t really have pix to share„ only a couple from this weekend but I’m too lazy to post them now so mayb tmrw.

since I’ve pretty much..kinda…caught up with my pics„ I don’t have many new ones to post on here….don’t worry…i’m sure I’ll b taking a lot of pics since I’m meeting a group of my close friends together tmrw for lunch! its pretty much all of them at one time so i’m excited about that….we rarely get a chance to get together because of schedule conflicts, rides, etc so tmrws the special day! its always good to see friends you haven’t seen in awhile along with those that I see very often„ I have this obsession with calling it bonding time lol! I just enjoy spending time with those that I care about, sharing stories, thoughts, about lives, jokes, getting to know each other even more„„reminiscing on the past……and the whole enchilada ;) I REALLY REALLY can’t wait for my spring break bcuz my parents said that they’d play a tennis match with me at an outdoor tennis court„,LOL! thinking about it just makes me laugh……family outdoors sports day„„ got my running shoes on and i’m ready to sweat a whole lot! exercise for this lazy piggyyyy, FTW!!! oh„ i’m also really looking forward to it being sunny outside so i’d be able to go to the pond by the park and feed the geese,ducks, and ducklings„, its so sad when i get a chance to go and feed them and they all rush over like they’ve been starved since forever (they probably have been…) so we have lots of bread at my house and i’d love to walk over and show them some love by filling up their tummies ;)

in general, i’ve been feeling a lot better since I finally know my sense of direction for school now„ although i’m kinda starting out from scratch, I’m gonna keep going until I’ve finally reached my goals! I like all theses positive thoughts that I’m getting about all this ‘school’ stuff so its just helping out with motivation even if all of this still feels kinda like its still jumbled up in my mind„„

and thats my very brief post today„,

Good night to TUMBLR!! ^.-
