I'm back...again

Holy Molly. It's been 3 months since my last blog post. I wonder if I still have any followers left. Well for those who stuck around, I applaud. I am so happy that this semester is done. I think I bit off more than I can chew. I survived this semester finishing 18 units. And did a documentary for an internship which in the end, got no credit for but my name will be archived in the local library and historical society. The main thing was for the experience and it looks good on a resume.

 Anyways, over the past three months, lots has changed. For now, I'll talk about my new hair. I dyed it a bit darker (sort of a mushroom color). I think it'll fade to a lighter brown or dirty blonde color. Also no more mushroom bangs. I'm styling them to a side bang look.

V-Day + Long Weekend

Hey everyone! I haven't made a real post since January. I know I say this in every post but I'm really behind on posts. I need to get my shit together and get organized. Not sure if it's due to my busy schedule or I'm just lazy. I need to get back into blogging mode. I'm thinking about setting a blogging schedule. Maybe post at least once a week.

V-Day Look
I decided to wear my short, blonde wig. It seemed to match well with my Liz Lisa outfit. I wish my dorm had a full length mirror so I could show it off. I woke up at 6:30am, sleepy with dark undereye bags. I'm not smiling in these photos cause it makes my face appear smaller. It looks better to have a thinner face with a bob hairstyle than my round face. (T^T)

First photo: I applied foundation and concealer on face and brown shadow for eyebrows. I look super weird without eyeliner.


Second photo: Applied the rest of my make-up on. I turned on my super bright desk lamp. Hoping it would act like a ring light.


Third photo: This was taken with my smartphone. I can't edit out my dark circles with it so here you see my dark circles with a soft filter.


The big V-Day!
So Valentine's Day was this past Thursday. I didn't get to spend time with my boyfriend due to our busy schedules. I get out of class at 7:15pm and he's working in Irvine. We knew like a month in advance that we wouldn't be spending v-day together. Plus we've been together for 5 years already so missing one vday isn't going to hurt us.

Anyways, I spent v-day night with my college friends. We had a chocolate party at my dorm! I bought all the supplies from various places: Costco, Micheals, Mitsuwa, Daiso, and CVS.

  

Belated V-Day
After my friday class was done, I packed up my bags from the dorm, went home to unload, then packed up more clothes for my long 5 day weekend getaway to my bf's place in Irvine. He only stays in Irvine during the weekdays for work then comes back to Torrance to see me/his family on the weekends. This time I wanted to pay him a visit since I have no school monday and tuesday. I arrived at his place pretty late. I gave him the chocolate dipped goodies that I made the previous night. My boyfriend gave me brownies and Evangelion toys. Loved it!




Long Weekend
I'm so happy I got a 5 day weekend. I finally caught up on sleep. Everyday I slept for 10hours. It felt amazing! My boyfriend took me out every night. We checked out South Coast Plaza, Irvine Spectrum, Diamond Plaza. The usual fun stuff in Irvine. Hope I can upload the photos.

GOOD NEWS! My lost USB was found. Nice IT guy found it and returned it to me. Now I can blog about old events lol.

Okashi Yummy Valentine's Giveaway!

I hope I win :)

Forgotten USB + weekend

So ever since spring semester started, I've been becoming more forgetful. I think it's due to my classes and stress. I'm taking 6 classes - 18 units total. I don't get to eat breakfast or dinner anymore because well.. no time. I get about 4-6 hours of sleep a day and add stress with no food equals a scrambled mind. So friday, I wanted to hang out with friends Annabel & Yvette. Just have a girls' night out to release some stress. The plan was for my friends to met up in front of my Digital Illustration class which ended at 4:15pm. In class, I was running a little late- it was 4:20- I was quickly saving my files onto my USB. I packed my stuff and jetted out of class. They wanted to check out my dorm. They live on the north side while I lived on the west side. We are considering in rooming together next semester Fall 2013. Forms submitting for roommates start in March so we want to get this done fast. The faster we submit, the better chances of us getting good rooms. While on the way there, Annabel, gets a texts from this guy she's been texting all week. He asked her out on a date. She was super excited since it was her first time a guy ever asked her out. Awww ^v^ They checked out my dorm and they loved it. They liked how it's super quiet compared to their dorms. I later dropped Annabel back to her dorms so she can get ready for her first date. I took Yvette out for some Korean pizza and chicken at a place called Love Letter. The restaurant was near my friend Carlton's place. I gave him a call but he didn't answer. I wanted Yvette to meet him since they have similar interests. After dinner, we wanted something sweet so we went to Ten Rens for some boba. Right when we sat down, I got a text from Carlton saying to meet him at Oko. I started laughing because he was getting boba at the boba place right next door (it's weird how there's two boba places next to one another). We just hung out until 9pm. Fun night I came home around 10pm and KOed. I woke up at 5am in a cold sweat. WEIRD. For some reason, I had the need to check for my USB. HA! It was no where to be found in my backpack. I checked and double checked my car and backpack. I must have left it in the computer while I was saving my files. "Doh" moment. There's no class after mine on fridays so hopefully it'll still be there when I go to school tomorrow. I'm planning to arrive there once they open the doors to computer lab. EVERYTHING was on there. My blog photos and digital projects. I'm more worried for my digital projects because I can't replace last semesters work *fingers crossed*

 Pictures from friday night...

Back from Japan + new hair color

Happy 2013! I got back this week from Japan!

I'm still jetlag and I start school monday *_* I had a lovely time in Tokyo. It's been far too long. It was nice seeing the relatives again. The trip felt a bit short and rushed but great overall.

Before I post TONS of pics from the trip, I want to talk about my new hair color. I dyed it darker before heading to Japan. I just dyed the top darker. It looks like ombre hair. I was really happy with the results.



NOTE*
After combining my photos and bf's photos, I have a total of 1k pictures! wah! I have lots of organizing to do.  I hope to post the first day of japan sunday night but we'll see!
