merry christmas everyone!

beer and kbbq

so i had all-you-can-eat korean bbq with some friends for lunch. for some reason, i wasnt quite as satisfied as i usually would be. haha i feel like i can control my eating portions now. yay me! :) but kbbq is always good :)

now, i just back from a party at a friend`s house. two of my friends are studying abroad to Hong Kong! so it was kinda their going away, see ya later, kinda party. played beer pong, which i suck as always. my team lost obviously lol and i only drank one cup of beer before i was like, "FUCK THIS" and i sneaked outside and threw away my beer so i wouldnt have to drink it. KEKEKE

babysitting

these are my two silly, crazy little cousins.

dreams

<-- good hair + face day :)

last night i had two really weird and funny dreams.

1. my friend phieu and i were on our way to some random boba shop, in which i have never been before nor have i seen before so i basically made it up. as we were walking to the boba shop, i saw a REALLY REALLY cute Pikachu beetle. it was sooo cute. i was like "PHIEU!! take a picture of me and the Pikachu car!!" and shes like ok. so i take my DSLR out and gave it to her. she takes it, and i start posing for the picture. then shes goes "idono how to work this thing!!" and at that moment, a few of the guys that we were suppose to meet up with came and saw that she was struggling with the camera. one of the guys owns a DSLR so i was like hey! go help her!! and hes like, just press that button. and im like ARGGG JUST TAKE THE PICTURE! and i screamed so loud that apparently the police heard and the police car came. they were like "HEY what are you guys doing? put your hands on your heads and walk over here to this wall and take the camera with you." so we walked over to the wall and they made us sit on the ground like Kindergarten style. he was lecturing us that it`s illegal to take pictures with other people's cars... (lol i know weird) then the owner of the car comes out and she was like. "its ok, just let them go, i didnt even see them do anything." so the police let us go. lol so random.

2. i use to like this guy and i thought i had got over him, but last night, i had a dream that we were holding hands and i was hugging him.. then he was doing this really hilariously funny dance. hahaha like seriously the dance moves were ridiculous! haha but yeah that was my dream. apparently, i still kinda like him?? oie..

christmas shopping FINISHED

my christmas shopping is officially done. i spent a little over $200 in total for christmas presents... now im officially broke. its only the first week of winter break too!! i seriously didnt plan on spending that much.. but i guess 200 for 9 people isnt too bad... i wish it was chinese new year already.. haha. after i wrap all the gifts and clean my room, my mind will be less cluttered. yeah, thats all ive been thinking about. money, gifts, and re-arranging my room. honestly. why do people give gifts? why not save that money and just buy stuff for yourself. i dont get it haha i guess i never will.

today, i went to Fashion District to get stuff to make presents for my best friends. we decided to make presents this year to save money. i did save a little money. haha i originally thought that the stuff in the Fashion District was dirt cheap, but i was so so wrong. there is tax and you needa go store to store to compare prices. in the end, i was holding three large bags of stuff. i would tell you guys what im gonna make, but i think my friends might read this. so shh haha

im so mad at myself because i just saw the grade for one of my classes. i seriously need to step up my game next quarter.

on saturday, i went to f21 and bought a plain long sleeve shirt. i was planning on paying with the store credit that i had and when it was time for me to pay, i was looking all over my wallet and purse for that stupid card. but i couldnt find it and felt bad about having the cashier wait for me, so i just payed with my own money. i looked in my wallet a second time when joan and i were eating dinner. and still i couldnt find it. i was so sad for a couple of days cus i thought i lost it. cus its real money!! ya-know? i even tried to see if i could buy anything with just the card number, which, i found on the receipt, and it didnt work cus you need a pin for online order. arg but when i was cleaning out my wallet yesterday, i found it stuck in between two receipts.. -____-;; haha im so dumb.

these people need to go to hell!!

http://www.driftsurfing.eu/index.php/archives/3351

the pictures totally disgust me!

anyways. i just dropped off lucy at LAX. shes going to phoenix, AZ to visit her sister. my friend peter went to NY yesterday and my boyfriend went to London on a business trip.. why is everyone going on vacation and leaving me?!?! :(

some goals for this winter break:
-trim my bangs
-clean my room / reorganize

• donate unused clothes
• throw away useless things

winter break is 3 weeks. but i think for the first week, imma be pretty bored.. im looking forward to going to the Fashion District with Joan and Lucy because they have dirt cheap stuff there!! but i would have to wait till lucy is back.. :( and lucy wants to go to NorCal for a few days. yay. we`re staying at her friend's place. so basically, we`re gonna be living cheap because all we will need to do is pay for gas and eat junk food YAY hahahaha

lucy cassandra regina and i all decided that we will make presents for each other this year to save money :) but i really dont know what to make.. i shall hit up the arts and crafts store soon.

its raining again today.. my house is soo cold because we have hardwood floors.. my room especially, is really cold. im using the computer in my parent's restroom because its the only room in the house that has a heating fan in the ceiling.

some things i bought from morning glory :)

OMGosh i was late!!!! ive NEVER in my life been late for a final! so i was hurrying walking to school. when i stepped outside, i found out it was raining. and yeah, i didnt have a hood or umbrella!!! i was wearing my Uggs and it got soaked! arg. but i didnt care cus all i was thinking was my final. so i figured. okay, ill be there at 9am and that will give me 2 hours to do the final because the final is a total for 3 hours.. no one uses up the full 3 hours anyways.. im good! then i walk into the classroom and all these unfamiliar faces were looking at me. the teacher up in front wasnt my professor, it was some lady. she waved her hands to tell me to come to her and she was like whats your last name? and im like what?? what final is this? and she says This is English 04. i was like oh.. and i walked out. soo embarrassing!! i was thinking, this is my history class's classroom, why is there an English 04 class in here! so i went to look for a computer to double check. the computers didnt open till 9am! and it was then 8:45am. i was desperate, calling my friend and my sister. none of them picked up. i was so pissed. then i remembered that i had brought my planner and when i looked at my planner, it said my final was at 11:30am! OMG i was going crazy for no reason.. thats what i get for not double checking..

caution

had a long talk with my girl vicky. i love talks with her. i always find out so many things that opened my eyes. i will learn to not trust so many people from now on. it sucks when a friend whom you`ve known for so many years all of a sudden, changes. haha i can honestly say, i only have 4 people whom i completely trust. i need to be stronger because there are gonna be sooo many minipulative people out there in the world and i refuse to be eaten by them.

its sunday. i hate sundays because school is the next day. which means i gotta do hw and sleep in early... but when theres hw due the next day, i never get to sleep in early. blah

gobble gobble hehehe

thanksgiving is over. i had lots to eat yesterday. afternoon lunch turned into a late afternoon lunch because the plan was to have Hot Pot with the friends then dinner with family after. i ate way too much during hot pot haha but it was yummy. but when i went to family dinner, i was still really full from hot pot. Thanksgiving is when my family tries to be "White" haha we prepare non-asian food. macaroni, turkey, salad, corn, mashed potatoes, etc. all pretty good :) i was sooo full last night, i felt like i wanted to die (lol) but yeah. not gonna do any black friday shopping today.. i only did some online shopping.. not much but i saved a little. got the ifrogz dj headphones for the boyfriend. when i was looking at it a few days ago, it was $51ish and now amazon is having a sale so i got it for $31. whoo hoo. i also got some HD foundation from Coastalscents.com originally $16 and i got 25% off. so with shipping its $17ish.

imma watch new moon with joan today. even though i`ve watched it already.. i actually dont like new moon because i thought it was super boring. but im being a good friend.. haha

im in a good mood today because im listening to this :)

heavy women, not unhealthy

my Religious Studies professor made a very good point in lecture today.

he was talking about how men usually like thin females compared to bigger females and this is because there is an obsession with the pubescent (the age before or at puberty i.e. pre-teens).

Model agencies want their models to be a size 00 - 2. anything bigger than that, you are considered fat. agencies still, however, airbrush the photos of their already underweight models, making their bodies look the way a pre-teen would look. girls who are super skinny, enough so we can count their ribs, arent necessarily healthier compared to bigger girls with wide hips. actually, girls who are super skinny, tend to be the ones who are most unhealthy. when your body is unhealthy, it is coordinated to your mind. (or so my professor says). the unhealthy mind is easier to manipulate and this is why men tend to like the skinny girls. a guy may be at a bar, and see a skinny girl like the one i just described and say "hey lets go buy her a drink" because what may be going on inside that guy's head is that he can easily manipulate her into doing things he wants to do.

he also makes a point that clothing stores like victoria's secret make thongs with cherries and teddy bears on them. this makes one think; Who are they really try to market towards?? i really dont think pre teens really should be wearing thongs in the first place.. but hey, thats just my opinion.

so, thicker girls sometimes, are healthy if not healthier than skinny girls.
i hate media for making us women hate our bodies!! grrr

ps. i know this doesnt only happen to women, but since women is the majority, i will just talk about women's bodies, since i am a woman myself.

do you guys think this is true? what is your opinion?

laugh till you drop

Monday night, stayed up till 6am to do a 7 page paper. i finished it in 4 hours. i didnt think it was a big deal, but when i told a couple of my friends, they were amazed because i guess 4 hours for a 7 page paper is really fast. haha i got 2 hours of sleep. went to class, i had class till 7pm -_____- lucy came to riverside to visit me. we had dinner and she slept over. went to class while lucy went to the gym, then after i came back at 12, we went to eat Chipotle and then the mall so she can return some stuff. drove back to alhambra. met up with cassandra, went to costco and target. haha we tried on those one piece pajamas. lucy and cassandra ended up wearing those pjs throughout the store... i took mine off cus it was getting hot. people were staring at them. how embarassing hahaha then, went to yogurtland and then starbucks :)

i slept talk when i was sleeping last night lol i dont remember what i said now, but i think i said like two words. i caught myself sleep talk though haha and lucy woke up she was like

Lucy: what did you say? did you ask me if i was gonna put that picture up on the wall?
Lisa: WTF?? no i didnt! you`re dreaming!
Lucy: shut up! it was a good dream.

HAHAHAHA HALARIOUS :D~

i bought a one piece pjs! they`re soo warm lol a guy was passing by as we were putting them on and he was laughing at us and was nice enough to offer to help us take a picture :)

Yogurtland <3>

best friend cassandra

best friend lucy

chill time

it was a nice weekend. kinda haha um friday, i registered for classes for the upcoming winter quarter. i cant say im fully happy with my schedule but im okay with it and im glad i finally registered. originally wanted to take 5 classes, but because my university only allows a 20 unit max per quarter, i couldnt take the last class i wanted (creative writing) because i was gonna be 2 units over. arg.. yea.. went back home pretty late, and i hit super bad traffic on the way.. -____-;; i was taking pictures in the car haha yeah it was THAT bad. took me an hour and 45 min to get home. wtf?! got home, ate dinner and then went to hang out with joan at tiff`s house and played with tiff`s baby. hes only 2 months right now and hes changed so much! he got so much fatter ahahah. more fun to play with now, since he actually makes sounds and smiles.

saturday, went to the ortho -___-;; tightened my braces. it really hurts now, and its day 2.. got my radio fixed. dinner with friends afterwards for an early surprise-ish thing for david. my boys helped me install my HIDs :D yee-yee!! drank boba, and played cards. haha we played 13 with like 8 people, two deck of cards.

sunday, dad and i went to fill air in my tires cus my dad says its 10 pounds under what its suppose to be. the place that we pumped air in the pressure measurer sucked. we ended up over pumping the tires. went to buy one of those pressure measurer things at Kreagen. now my tires are at a perfect 30lbs :) car washed, radio fixed, tired perfect, HIDs. my car was happy. i can so feel the diff in my tires from before. feels so much better!

im gaining weight because i havent had time to go to the gym due to school.. arg time to go on a diet again.. argg!!!

veteran's day

no school today whoo hoo!! went to eat all you can eat sushi. the friends decided to go there before the place opened cus someone heard that it was packed and people actually wait outside till it opens O__O yea but when we got there, no one was waiting... wth haha so we went to walk around the market till it opened. omg we ate way too much. i hate creame cheese!!!! so gross. cream cheese and sushi should never be together. YUCK. haha ate till we were ready to puke. ew haha after that, we went to get yogurt. haha damn i shouldnt have gotten the yogurt because it made me even fuller!! i was suppose to have dinner with my best friend at night, but she bailed on me. lame. so i was super bored, and had nothing to do, no dramas to watch. -____-;; i decided to go to the mall by myself. i got some good buys! yay! i controled myself too! i was tempted to go into the sanrio store, but made myself keep walking pass it. yay me!

i was approved for a Victoria's Secret Credit Card! i get coupons and stuff like that in the mail. this card was given to me. it can contain from $10, $50, $100, or $500! off a purchase. but i dont get to see how much i have or use it until dec 01. whoo hoo! i prob will get the $10 cus im very unlucky. i never win anything big haha. actually, i never win raffles or anything! i remember in Chinese School, they would have raffles for like stuff and i would never win.. out of all the years i`ve been at that chinese school. so sad T_T

i wasnt even going to stop at victoria`s secret, but then i saw a sign that said 7 or $25 panty grabs! i was like OH HAIL YEAH! haha cus the usual sale is 5 for $25. i HAD to stop by! haha

Forever21! the one near my school is really small.. :( but i managed to find some good buys. i got this very cute little tank thingy for $12.80.

Sales rack! i saw this cool white jean jacket for only $9.99!! WHoo!! i love saving money :)

bong

hahaha :P this is pretty damn cool

weekend

The nightlife, consisted of Souplantation with zack, cassandra and bob. we loveee the Souplantation blueberry muffins. We love it so much we decided to bring a huge bag and ziplock bags in with us so we can steal them to take home >:] Our friend Ben just left today, to go to boot camp because he joined the Army National Guard. :( we went to knotts berry farm, which was alright, not much people in the lines because knotts is weak sauce compared to Six Flags hahaha, and then all-you-can-eat KBBQ afterwards!! :P Then, Boba is a must.

Day life, went to My Sweet Cupcake with Peter and Steph. Its a very cute cupcake parlor. i got the pink lemonade cupcake. the frosting tasted just like pink lemonade!! delicious!! :D

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.asp

hmmm.. all of this is true.

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

omg save your fuckn drama for your momma.

bunnies!!!!

ate at this one Italian place with steph phieu and jeffery for lunch today. the pizza was yummyy. but the food took soo long to come out. i guess its alright, since the food was pretty good. i didnt like the lasagna though. too much cheese. went to a pet store after. i saw soo many ads for selling dogs outside the store. there was a pamaranian for $500 i think. i was so tempted to call the owners because the pictures on the ad were so cute! and its considerably cheaper than if you`re gonna buy it from a petstore. i saw the cutest little bunny at the petstore today. ahhh i love bunnies! it was only $19.99 :( too bad i didnt get it. i had to quickly leave before i became even more attached to it. ahh i want a bunny soo bad! the white ones only. :D after that, phieu treated us all to ice cream at rite aid. hehehe yummy :D

im looking forward to the up coming veterans day. gonna go eat all-you-can-eat sushi!! :P my mouth is drooling already. it seems like soo long since i`ve had good sushi haha and then im looking forward to Thanksgiving!! yayayayay!

我想要一只兔子!! >__< <3

BOO!!!!

some pictures from this weekend. pretty fun weekend haha halloween is such a big thing in college for some reason. Thursday night, party. saturday night, went to a church fair in Chino, then trick or treated 5 houses because it was late. haha we cant pass up free candy!! :D~ some guy was like "so what are you guys? high schoolers?" and we all responded "YESSSS" HAHAHAH after, kick back at Nick`s house.

top: Saturday night, bottom: Thursday nightMariooo

this isnt from halloween haha but camera whored anyways.

i wish i could wear falsies everyday. if i wasnt so lazy and short on time all the time, i prob would. haha

hk decal

got my decal on friday that i ordered from ebay. added it on today haha i like it a lot :D

helloo

im learning to accept and like my haircut now because it has gotten longer hehe yesterday was the first day i went out of the house without clipping some of my hair up. after reading emily`s post on her eyes being uneven, i notice my eyes are like that too!! but then i always remembered that i had this talk with a friend of mine really really long time ago when i was in elementry school because when my friend looks in the mirror, and i look at her reflection, her face looks funny lol and we came to the conclusion that no human`s face is exactly proportional.

went to the mall today to apply for aero`s seasonal position. wow i didnt expect so many people to apply. but then again, it was on their website and they had a table with applications like in front of the store. :( i was kinda sad and scared that i might not get the job. damn if i had later classes, i would have a higher chance of getting the job because they really need people to open the store and most people who applied are closers. *sigh* anyways i got some really cute earrings. lol yea.

more purchases

drugstore.com purchase came today. i bought two lipsticks from maybelline because all the gurus have been raving about the color "pink please" i bought "pink please" and "born with it" im quite disappointed about these two lipsticks. they look kinda the same color except "born with it" is a little darker and has some shimmer in it. i dont think these colors flatter me very much. :( -sigh- i must find a way to make it work or else i`ll be wasting my money. i shall continue my search for a flattering lipstick color...

i did buy two OPI nail polishes also because it was buy one get the other 50% off. im content with them. i realized that i buy a lot of pink nail polish for some reason. no one is gonna tell the difference between them.. lol

left to right: Born with it, Pink Please

closer look

Left to right: My Chihuahua Bites!, Suzi Sells Sushi by the Seashore
(i love OPI`s names for their nail polish lol)

One thing i hate about living by myself is that if i want to eat, ill have to cook shiet for myself. if i dont, ill either starve or have to go out to eat. cooking is kinda time consuming too.. like preparing the food, cooking it, eat it, then washing the dishes.. damn man i totally appreciate my mom for cooking for me now. ya know what`s weird though? is that on the weekdays (thats when im living by myself and weekend i go back home to my momma lol) i dont really eat meat. i think its cus i hate cooking meat. and since im trying to save money, i tend to cook everyday and cooking meat gets so messy. first off, you needa defrost the meat, if you forget to defrost it earlier in the day, then you`re screwed. lol jk not really, but its gonna take a while for it to defrost under the tap water. so i just find it easier to cook vegetables and tofu or other stuff. im so lazy lol

yesterday, while i was eating Frosted Flakes, i found this HUGE frosted flake lol heres how big it is compared to my hair clip. when i told my friend about it, he yelled at me and told me that i should`ve taken a ruler to take a picture of it because that could be the smallest clip in the world. but i couldnt take a picture of it anymore because i ate it. LOL and he yelled at me even more. telling me that i should save stuff like that.. :( lol
