Colorful Makeup and Update

I haven't posted anything in so long. I haven't been going out for anything other than driving class and when I have gone out I didn't really do my makeup or come up with a cute outfit. Actually, on Saturday I went shopping with my mom to get some stuff for the house from Christmas Tree Shop and a gift for her friend for mother's day. We actually ended up going to JC Penney and were so surprised!

I have seen the new commercials for JC Penney but I didn't really take much notice since they have gotten a reputation of having cheap, no brand, or just plain ugly clothes and products. After getting my mom some new bed sheets, we went to the second floor where all the women's clothes were. It was so beautiful!

They had that giant red square from the commercials, sleek white tiles and walls, a Sephora booth under construction and mannequins front and center with very beautiful maxi dresses. I basically would've taken the dresses off the mannequins if I could. When we got to look around we say that there was a display for MNG by Mango!

There was this beautiful print for a top, maxi dress, and sundress. It was the first thing I saw and I was able to get the shirt. There was also this red dress that was very conservetive from the front but once you turned it around you could see it had a diamond shaped opening on the lower back and was kept closed by buttons. The material was so soft too! My mom agree that it was very pretty. She bought herself a coral colored shirt made of the same soft material.

I haven't taken pictures of either of the pieces because I have yet to wear them and I didn't think I would be doing a blog post. I think I'm going to be doing these more often since this is the third day I have hit the post limit on my tumblr account.

I do text posts there now, but I don't see how they're useful on here. They're just little blurbs of annoyances. I would rather not keep bad comments on here (except for that post about my ex boyfriend). I like this to be soft and pretty.

There really isn't much to talk about though. I've been trying to get back into gyaru more. I still have my EGG magazine subscription (I've had it for almost 3 years) and I still wear circle lenses when I'm actually going out. However, my makeup isn't very gyaru. I don't like doing a very natural eye or doing something of a panda shape either.

I very much enjoy colors, even though there are times that I hold back depending where I'm going. Today I went to driving school and decided to try out a look that I had seen prettylilmzgrace do. The video can be found here.

I am once again subscribed to her channel because I absolutely love her makeup looks. They are exactly what I like to do and she's an inspiration. However, I did unsunscribe after what I heard about BitchSlap Cosmetics and found that she still promotes their products. I will never personally buy them but her creativity is hard to find.

Usually, all I see on youtube is everyday/natural/simple makeup looks. They're basically the same thing recreated over and over again. I already know how to do a super natural eye on myself and how to pump it up. I don't need that. So I will subscribe to her even if I don't fully understand why she puts herself in such danger.

Anyway, here's the makeup look. I only used shadows from the BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Color Palette, Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous eyeliner in the darkest black, Decolog Who's in Dolly, NYX blush in Pinky, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer, Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Creme Brulee, and MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC40.




I really need to get my hair done at the salon again. I want to finally go all blonde and get my hair super layered because it is very heavy. Straightening it leaves my hair looking like a lion's mane. I have so much root growth too that it's awful. -___-

I just realized that the last picture looks like something in a year book! LOL. I don't smile like that in school pictures though. I just look like that HBC that if she smiles she'll just make all the other girls look ugly. HAHAHA. I wonder how it feels to be like Regina George. Must be something like how Kyary Pamyu Pamyu feels.


Goodnight, though! I can post on tumblr again and that's what I'll be wasting my time on for the night!


3 YEARS WITH 2NE1! And current anthem thanks to my ex.

Makeup that I recently bought and liked

I don't even know how to start this post. I've been procrastinating to write on here and I'm not even sure why. I could've written this yesterday but by the time I was ready (all the pictures from my phone had loaded onto my computer) it was 2 am and I wasn't going to sit here until 4 am typing away.

Anyway. Since my life is basically at a stand still when it comes to excitement, I'll talk about shopping, music and some personal crap that is REALLY boring, even to me.

I just noticed earlier that I haven't been shopping for clothes in months and that made me a little sad. Maybe before the summer officially starts my mom will be willing to go out and splurge a bit with me.

Aside from that I have been shopping for other people and for makeup (which has also been neglected wtf). My package from honeycolor finally came it. I got the Dolly Wink No. 2 Sweet Girly and Decolog Who's in Dolly.


Neither of those are natural looking, which is a good thing. I have yet to actually wear them out so I think I'll try them out tonight when I go to driving school.

I also picked up some much needed makeup products:
I love these setting sprays by Urban Decay! I had the original all-nighter but decided to try this one since I do get oily on my t-zone during the day. So far I've noticed that it leaves a weird film on my forehead if I just spritz it on and don't put on foundation. However, it takes longer for my nose to become oily. I haven't tried this with my MAC foundation though so yeah.
This is my absolute favorite bronzer EVER. It is matte and dark. It is a bit pricey but it lasts forever, smells like chocolate, and gives me nice color without making me look orange or like I sprayed gold glitter on my face. I do like shimmery bronzer but only during the summer. Which reminds me, I'll be needing to find one pretty soon. Maybe I'll try MAC's mineralize skinfinish in gold deposit. I don't know. I'll see what people are raving about before I go out and spend $30 on any other bronzer.
Since so many people swear this is a great concealer for a low price I decided to pick it up. I think it's a bit too light for me but if I put it over foundation it covers the darkness leftover and adds a nice light that doesn't highlight the circles. I really like it after playing around with it for a while. I'll go pick up a color up and see how well that works alone. Maybe.
Now this stuff is beautiful. I got in Tiki since it was the only one there and it would be a nice highlighter. It is SO PRETTY and SO PIGMENTED that I can't believe how cheap it was. If I can pick up the darker shades I will definitely use them as bronzer on top of my Chocolate Soleil for that extra dewy shimmer. I've used it all over and it is beautiful.
Also, since I needed a new eyeliner, I picked up this last Hard Candy product. It's called Stroke of Gorgeous and it lives up to its name. It's basically a felt pen and it is very easy to control. The liner comes off matte and dark. It is so perfect. I would have picked up the new Maybelline eyeliner but I couldn't find it in very black (which is the only color I will ever pick up basic eyeliner).

There are so many makeup products that I want to try. I've already picked up all the Revlon lip butters that I wanted, and I have two out of the 4 or 5 color tattoo 24 hour cream shadow. And yesterday I picked up the Illegal Lengths mascara. I'm excited to try it because of the "fiber extensions".

I would love to try the Maybelline master precise ink pen, Volum' Express turbo boost mascara, and the tattoo cream shadow in the shades pomegranate punk, audacious asphalt, and edgy emerald.

Also I'm super excited to get my hands on the new Too Faced Summer Eye Summertime Sexy Eyeshadow palette. The color are so pretty and perfect. This is the first time I have actually really wanted a Too Faced eyeshadow palette. I mean, I already have the Naked palette and they do so many palettes with neutral or natural colors. There's the smokey eyeshadow one that I really have been wanting but I could get a deal on one of those on eBay for sure.

I honestly have nothing going on socially. I'm not going to tell the story about the guy I met because that turned into a bust. I think it was just one of those things that came my way to help me ease out of the break up and transition into a better mood.

It's not like I didn't feel like shit after the break up and while that situation with the new boy was fading. If anyone follows my tumblr they'll see my depressed days and then my recovery.

But I am in a much better mood than I could ever have been otherwise. I have to thank my cousin for that because she really wanted me to stay away from secluding myself for a couple of days. I don't know where my mind would be if she hadn't occupied my time.

I'm also trying to get in touch with some people I haven't talked to in a while. It's funny that people say that you shouldn't stop talking to your friends because you're in a relationship but I feel like some friends make that hard to do. Most of my guy friends backed off once they saw I was in a relationship. It really makes no sense to me.

I love all my boys but only in a platonic way so I have no idea why they would feel the need to get away from me. Most of them even knew Steven personally so it made even less sense.

Anyway I'm back to talking to a few people that I've been missing, such as my unicorn Kyle and my old texting buddy Andrew. It's funny. I actually confessed to Andrew that I was super depressed when I came back home from college and how I was probably never going to be friends with Steven again.

Me and Andrew have a weird friendship. During junior year and the beginning of senior year I wanted to grab his intestines, rip them out, and wrap them around his mouth to keep him quiet. He thought so highly of himself and never knew how to be quiet.

He was part of ROTC with me and while we were hosting a week-long "camp" for the incoming ROTC freshmen the week before school started he would go on tangents in front of the groups, especially the first day. We had to cut him off. I almost threw a chair at him.

I think after a few talks he got the hint that being a pompous ass to new recruits was not the way to get them to listen to you. He improved over the year but I was never close with him. It wasn't until after he finished boot camp and while I was at school that we started texting him.

He's just easy to talk to because I think he's always thought highly and kindly of me even when I wanted to kill him. I'm pretty sure he was aware of the times I wanted him dead because I was very vocal about it. I cursed him out once. Ah, life. So full of surprises.

Here's a picture of me in my AFJROTC uniform:

Medals and ribbons galore! While I was looking for one of these pictures I stumbled across all the pictures I took senior year. They all make me so pumped to go back to blonde! I loved how nice my skin looked with the honeyed color.
 Here's a recent picture of me. Out of all the pictures I took that day this is the only one that is even slightly passable so here it is.

LOL @ this guy

I'm probably going to write a post later tonight or sometime over the weekend about my shopping and some happy stuff but for right now I need to write this down to remind myself that I still have something I can call a back bone.

This adventure started on March 22nd, 2012 and ended on April 16th, 2012.

Let me first begin by explaining that I understand that breakups are common and this is not going to be a sob fest. Instead, this will be a dissection of a section of the male population that seems to be missing parts of their brain or must be missing the point of relationships all together.

I'm not going to pretend that I was not sad at the time of the breakup. I actually have not felt as shitty as I usually would, even though I have been fairing much better than I could ever have expected  thanks to such wonderful friends and family members. But I am proud to say that I have yet to actually cry because of the end of this relationship. I do believe that is commendable.

Now, I believe I have explained how Steven has been my friend since last year and I actually did consider him a very good friend, if not a best friend. So, since everyone seems to rave about how relationships are so much better when you're friends for a while with the person before dating them, I didn't believe that if me and Steven broke up it would be such a shitty, disastrous mess as it was.

The funny part is that it wasn't messy. As far as I know, he didn't cheat on me and I didn't cheat on him. But who knows if his ex had some influence on this? That boy is still emotionally unstable and I really do blame myself for jumping into the murky waters of relationships with recently single people again just to end up hitting my head at the bottom.

Anyway, I will recount a different story that happened during these days later on this blog entry or maybe later on today after driving school.

After my shopping trip with my cousin on Saturday, we decided to plan a sleep over for Sunday night. I had turned my phone off that night before going to sleep since I had forgotten my charger and both my cousin's were charging their phones. When I woke up and turned on my phone in the morning, I had one text waiting for me from Steven.

My phone previews a line or two of the message for me when I receive them. From the top line I could say that he didn't say "good morning" but just "hi" and some sentence afterwards. I won't lie. I have been expecting a text like that since we decided to start dating again. And on a Monday! How iconic!

So I read the message and I did feel that cold feeling through my veins, in my chest and in my stomach. I was truly disappointed to read such a shitty breakup text. Wait. It was a text.




WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

This is really what I believe to be the worst part about the breakup. I have broken up with people over the phone if I could not reach them any time soon, but I prefer to do it face to face (even though that really does kill me inside. I mean who the hell wants to see someone's heart break right there?!) BUT COME ON. Are you really that much of a chicken shit that you can't at least CALL me or wait until I get home that afternoon/night and buy me a coffee and break up with me.

I swear. Guys need to understand that you are not sparing anyone any feelings. And then he added in the text to not text him back. BOY. IF I TEXTED YOU BACK AFTER THAT ATROCITY I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF. I HAVE GIVEN ENOUGH OF MY DIGNITY BEFORE FUCKING BEGGING YOU TO NOT GIVE UP. I. AM. DONE.

Honestly I have never stooped so low as I did for that guy. I will admit that I really did beg him to reconsider the TWO times he broke things off with me. I truly regret that shit because I should never have to beg a MAN to grow some balls and deal with the hardships that are getting over someone and being with someone who is willing to treat you much better than you deserve.

Piece of shit.

I don't believe in second chances and this has truly proven my reasons why. Shit doesn't change. If anyone in the future asks me why I am so against giving people more than one chance to be in my life I will point in his direction. Why are you so special? I truly believed you were my friend and would care how I felt about things and that I could open up to you.

Funny how when I started to open up even more he decided he couldn't take it.

Well, I deleted the message and his conversation off my phone for obvious reasons. But I will honestly remember what he told me for a very long time because it unnecessary and uncalled for. I'm one of those people that actually likes knowing why people break up with me. I don't feel insulted because I don't believe I'm some perfect being that doesn't need to learn to hold back or pull some things out.

However, Steven decided not to actually tell me why. He told me something that he believed justified the break up but didn't explain it. He said:
"I don't love you and I can never love you and I don't want to waste your time."

 Waste my time?! Do you not know how long it has been?! A month and a half since we found that we liked each other as more than friends. A month and a half since you have been flip flopping on me. A month and a half since I have sat here and given you all my attention when other dudes were CLEARLY interested. Waste my time? Oh no, honey. You've already wasted enough of my time.

I hate when guys use that "I don't want to waste your time" line. Listen, bub, I know you mean YOUR time because I doubt you care much about what I'm doing since we clearly can't have a conversation about this.

He had supposedly not been able to sleep that night thinking about "the situation". This kid couldn't even call it a relationship! We were a situation, not a relationship. Clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Oh but, listen, I'm so glad that you will no longer be losing sleep on whatever is that we had. I could never forgive myself if you lost a wink of sleep to thoughts of me. It's so very unhealthy to not sleep before a hard day of working at a bakery and going to work out. Definitely.

After telling my cousins, my best friend, and my mom, the consensus was the same: he is a dick and doesn't deserve an ounce of acknowledgement from me. I could be sad for a little bit be he truly doesn't deserve a damn tear. My mom had the best response:
"Hold on... he did it over txt msg??? So he doesn't have the cojones [balls] to talk face to face?? Sad, really not worth being sad for long. A man that can't say what he thinks or wants in your face is not worth the time.."

I love my mom.

Anyway he texted me Tuesday night around 10 pm saying "hey". Ok, can we talk about the point that he broke up with me Monday morning and he decided it was alright to text me not that night, but the night after? Why??
(La puta que te pario = the whore that birthed you. Basically cursing a person's mother, even though Steven's mom was quite nice I still dislike her son enough to insult her)

^That's a pretty accurate depiction of my reaction. So I didn't answer and texted my bbfl this hilariously frantic message:
"OMFG HE DID IT. HE JUST TEXTED ME AFTER ONE GODFORSAKEN DAY. HE KNOWS I MET A BOY. FUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING  LIFE. WHY IS THERE NO BIGGER FONT THAN CAPS?!?!?! THIS IS NOT EXPRESSING HOW INSANE I FEEL. FUCK."
Not my best. But I literally saw that "hey" and pressed the back button to my messages and wrote that. She called me a few minutes later and I had the only blow out. I also told her about the boy I met but that's for another post.

So then he texted me some long ass paragraph about how he didn't want me to hate him and that if I want he can delete my number and that he'll stop "bothering" me. All with "..." in between sentences to express sadness. I just wanted to punch him in the face. All I said was:
"I don't hate you. I just need you to leave me alone."
Then he sent one sentence to text him when I was ready to talk. MOTHERFUCKER.




I know this post is gif overload but nothing is better than moving pictures to simulate how I feel. Because I mean really?! How are you going to get pissy with me when YOU BROKE UP WITH ME YESTERDAY MORNING. Don't tell me you have the balls to text me the next day like we're ok but not the balls to see my face when you tell me that YOU DON'T LOVE AND NEVER WILL.

Someone needs to explain to me what goes through his head that he thinks any of that is logical.


 So yeah. I will have a good feeling and shopping post up later. Most likely after tomorrow since tonight's plans are subject to change.

I’m a Loser

I haven’t posted on here in such a long time! Mainly because I don’t do much except go out with my boyfriend once a week and spend the weekends either doing projects in the house or running errands with my mom.

I’ve done some shopping (and I’m still waiting on my Dolly Wink lashes) so I guess I’ll talk about that and maybe anything else that I go on a tangent about.

I was able to get my hands on the Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lipstick and the Ricky Martin lip conditioner (for my mom) from the MAC counter at Macy’s. Okay, usually I have a pretty good experience with MAC employees when I go into an actual STORE. But for some reasons, these people that work at the counters believe themselves to be some kinds of special snowflakes.

The first time I went there to try out their foundation (yes, I just recently started using MAC foundation and I am undeniably in love with it). I was actually assisted by a perfectly nice woman. I believe she was around my age and since I had actually done my makeup that day she didn’t treat me like a 5 year-old playing with mommy’s makeup.

I told her about my hunt for a new foundation since the one I was using was pretty pricey and did not have the finish I would have liked. She found the perfect shade for me (for the record, my cousin had been shopping with me that day and had picked the same shade; she credits her few months of cosmetology school, since she didn’t end up finishing).

After she took off my original foundation, blush and bronzer, she put the foundation all over my face and even replaced my blush. Now, I don’t know why my cousin did this because I do believe that this woman, like any other makeup artist with certification (in my state you NEED certification if you want to touch a person’s face with product), takes pride in her work, even if it just picking a foundation shade, but my cousin decided to announce, quite proudly, that was the same shade she had picked for me.

I smiled at my cousin but the woman seemed a bit insulted. I guess it was in the way my cousin had said it, but I don’t recall the words at this point. Anyway, I don’t have to mention that the woman did not make eye contact with me after (she had been joking around with us and everything).

This time when I went in to pick up the lipstick and lip conditioner I just got indifferent service. There wasn’t even a display for these products. They were just by the register and the place was pretty jammed. When I asked one of the ladies if they even had any in stock (I couldn’t see the cash register counter since there were about 4 women crowding around for some reason), the lady pointed over to the group and I said I would like both. She just turned and walked to the register.

I think the dumbest part was that even though there were two registers she waited for the register that was currently in use to be available. I have no idea what those 4 women were crowding about but it took a good 10 minutes for them to move along.

I don’t get this aloofness from these people! If I had done my makeup and didn’t just have a lip stain on I’m sure I would’ve gotten a parade. It’s such a pain.

2012-04-06 20.07.32

The MAC counter is right in front of the shoe department at Macy’s. So after I bought my little nuggets of beauty me and my mom made a trip around the shoes. We had to stop at the Carlos Santana display. His shoes are usually always beautiful and unbelievably comfortable. I was able to buy a pair but I had to have it shipped from inventory because I wasn’t going to bring home the raggedy looking displays.

2012-04-10 15.08.04

I wore them this Tuesday when I went out with Steven. I hate how I haven’t been taking pictures of my makeup or anything. I had just gotten back into it and now here I am being lazy all over again.

2012-04-06 16.53.14

We also bought a pretty cherry tree from Lowe’s. Me and my mom wanted to buy a tree that would have pretty flowers. This is also the same kind of tree that was in front of our condo before it had to be cut down because of damage from a tornado. I remember how I would walk home from the bus stop when the weather started getting warm and the pink flowers of the tree would flutter. It made me feel like I was in a movie or something.

2012-04-09 20.49.50

These are two out of the three belly rings I was supposed to get. They sent me the wrong third belly ring so I have to contact the store. That kind of sucks since the third one had pearls and pink Swarovski crystals.

2012-04-09 20.47.06

This picture makes me so sad! The big container on the right contains my diamond stud that I managed to drop down the drain! And after an hour and a half I couldn’t change my nose ring. So now I probably have to go back to get it re-pierced or something because I have no jewelry in the piercing. This really was a waste of money. That diamond cost me $45 and getting my nose pierced again will be $25 if I go to the same place.

Steven said he would take me to get my nose pierced again so I’ll have to remind him and see when he’s willing to actually take me. He said he would pay for it too but I’ll take out my cash before he does. He’s too much of a gentleman sometimes and I love it.

Talking about wasting money, I bought the Prince Royce CD digitally and also ordered it off of Amazon to be sent to my house. I also bought two books and the most recent Bobby V. CD so I could get super saver free shipping.

Something else that is super exciting is that I’m going to see my favorite cousin on Saturday and we are going shopping! I will be going to Sephora and maybe back to that horrid MAC counter to pick up some things. I also have to buy my boyfriend his birthday present since his birthday is on the 22nd. My cousin enjoys shopping for boys just as much as I do so this will be a team effort to get him a nice gift.

The weekend and some purchases

I've decided not to post every day since I don't do interesting things every single day. But anyways, today wasn't eventful either. I just feel like I haven't updated in a bit so I'm going to post up pictures and talk about stuff that has been going on. So exciting.

Well, aside from getting my boyfriend back, I haven't done much over the past week and weekend. Friday I went to go see a musical at a local high school with my mom. I'm no longer in high school but my mom works as a VP so she likes being part of school functions. The school was showcasing Legally Blonde.

It was actually a really funny musical! The girl who played Elle was not much of an actress but she had a very beautiful voice. She's only a sophomore though so I'm sure that with experience she'll be quite talented in both areas. The guy who played Emmett was a really good actor and singer. His voice was smooth and genuine. But the guy playing Warner was not good at all. His singing voice was shaking and all over the place. At first I thought he was just nervous, but as the play went on he did not get better. I was glad that he only sang in two songs.

Friday was probably one of the last days that was actually nice out. I wore a coral off the shoulder sweater from Delia's, some dark wash jeggings from Pacsun, and some dark blue beaded sandals. I honestly believe that I can't wear any pants that aren't jeggings. I'm so short that they bunch up(even if I get them short) but I still love them.
 Serious, far-away model look. Kind of a fail.
Smiling because my baby makes me so happy.

My eyes aren't naturally green. I'm wearing the Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Green circle lenses. I got these with a few others from Honeycolor. I actually really like wearing these, even though I have to make sure to use eye drops right after putting them on or I'll have to use them every hour or so.

On Saturday, my best friend came over and she brought over a few presents for me, two elephant charm necklaces and a Captain America shield belly ring. I got my belly button pierced almost two months ago and I hadn't changed my jewelry yet.

It was such a mission to change that stupid barbel for a new one! We were there for 20 minutes until my belly button was sore and the piercing was bleeding. She actually came up with the idea to use pliers to move the ball on the jewelry. It was truly stuck! I found these flat, thick pliers that I use for when I make jewelry. After a little elbow grease the ball was super easy to remove!

She slept over and we spent our time talking about boys and baseball.

On Thursday and Saturday I bought some stuff online. So much for trying to save money. After some help from my man I was able to purchase the nose rings from Freshtrends.com! He liked the larger pearl and I liked the 2mm diamond so those were my purchases!

I also bought some false lashes from Honeycolor since I was still able to get free shipping. I got the Dolly Wink Sweet Girly and Decolog Who's in Dolly. Honeycolor usually ships pretty quick so I hope I get them in time for my date with my man on Thursday.

On Saturday, with the help of my best friend, I was also able to buy three dangling belly rings. She gave me the Captain America shield one and two other ones that she got in a variety pack. I just really wanted some pretty and sexy belly rings. Steven says he likes dangling ones better too so why not?

This super blurry picture was taken on his phone.

I have no makeup on and I was laying down on his back so he took this picture from below. He's smiling for real too =,] I was in mid-laugh. This was taken the night that I slept over his house and we weren't officially together yet. That was such a wonderful night.

I really liked my makeup that night but that was probably one of the worst nights in a while.

Urban Decay's Dashiki in the inner corner and Lounge on the rest of the lid. I'm also wearing the Super Pinky Blue circle lenses. My hair was super flat that day too.

The Night Before the Date

I'm so excited to see Steven tomorrow (well, later, really)!! I swear he saw me all senior year looking beautiful or a straight up bum in school but now I make so much effort so that my face looks amazing.

After my shower I decided to use Freeman's Pineapple Facial Enzyme Mask again this time. I couldn't tell a difference the last time I used it so I decided to wash it off with a wash cloth so I could at least get some exfoliation from it. It says it "restores radiant skin" but I don't know how.

I actually really like the little sample of Premier's Cinderella Mask I got from my February Glam Bag. It made my skin super soft, hydrated, and free of oil for a few hours. The only problem was that when I got home I noticed a zit on my forehead. Nothing major since it was making its first appearance. I'm not sure whether it was from the Pineapple Mask or the Cinderella Mask.

Anyway, aside from the mask I didn't do anything else special with my face. Since we are going out and I'll be doing something Saturday too I decided to straighten my hair. I love having my hair straight but it really takes a long time! And because of that I like to know that I will get the full benefit of having pretty hair by having people see it on the two days that it looks nice.

I don't know what it is but when my hair is straight it gets greasier faster. I really try not to touch the roots and brush it whenever I can but it still gets nasty by the end of the second day. I could still go out with it on the third day but I feel icky.

Not to mention that no matter what I do to my hair nothing will actually keep it as beautifully straight as when I first straighten it! I do use John Frieda's Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight which keeps all the major kinks out of my hair but I still do need to iron the ends straight if I sleep without a dubee.

Sigh. I work so hard to make it look effortless.

What did I do today? Nothing, really. All the paint was bought late but my mom still wanted to paint her room like the loca that she is. I'm not that impulsive so I just waited for my fried bacalao and kept finding more cute blogs to follow.

That is something I did today! I began following lots of blogs that are interested in Japanese fashion. And I also started wondering why I keep a Facebook and a Twitter when it pains me to look at either of the feeds. I feel physically ill every time. I just got my Facebook in August and I just can't.


Also, is it possible to hire a woman to live in my house and thread my eyebrows? Threading makes it so my hairs don't grow back for a week (unlike plucking and waxing). Plus, it is nowhere near as painful.

I have nothing to talk about. =/ Steven was being super cute today when I talked to him. Oh! Since his birthday is during baseball season I have decided to get us tickets to a Red Sox v. Yankees game! So exciting. We're both Red Sox fans and we both love Dustin Pedroia so I can't imagine doing anything more fun with him. Plus, it is a Sunday game so if we could be there for the weekend just to chill in Boston it would be perfect.

I'm really just excited to see him tomorrow. And to come up with a nice makeup look. I have no false lashes anymore (I threw them away when I was moving) so I'll have to pack on the mascara. Maybe I'll do a very sultry golden goddess type of thing. That sounds so weird. We're not going anywhere fancy but I still want to look nice for him.

Isn't that so weird? This is a guy that was basically my best guy friend my senior year of high school (and who simultaneously had a crush on me) and now we're talking about being in a relationship. Isn't that almost every girl's dream? For her to date her best friend?

I do admit it is a bit bittersweet. I mean, I know about his past and his last girlfriend. I actually met her and thought she was very nice. I gave Steven advice as how to make his relationship with her work. So now whenever I'm with him I have a stupid bug in the back of my mind that wonders if he still thinks about her. Does anything that I do remind him of her?

It's just something that no one tells you about this kind of relationship. But I'm still happy. He seems to really be into me and has something new to tell me that he likes about me. So I guess unless either one of those change I don't have anything to worry about.
