I Came, I Saw, I Devoured and Conquered. (Picture Heavy)

The day started out with sheets of pouring down in Maryland, but my daddy ventured through it and drove me and Christine to Baltimore and to drop us off at the station for Bolt Bus. The ride was fairly smooth since there were only 15 passengers on the whole bus and I passed out for most of it. We were 15 minutes outside of New York when the bus's radiator decides to just give. We waited about an 45 minutes for another bus to come pick us up and we arrived an hour later then planned. But all that matters is that we made it here and we found our hotel no problem.
First thing I must mention about Bolt Bus. THEY OFFER $1 FARES! You read right. $1. The catch? They only have a limited amount of them and you have to book early (i'd say a about 2 weeks) to jump on this awesome deal. They offer $1 fare to start selling seats on a bus but after those seats are gone, the price goes to $10, then when it starts really filling it goes to $13 and so on. If anyone is from the Baltimore/DC area I definitely suggest taking Bolt Bus to NYC (despite the little breakdown problem we had). It is quick (takes about 3 to 3.5 hours) because they don't stop at any rest stops, cheap! (our tickets were 43 dollars round trip for two people! that's 7 dollars less then Greyhound's round trip for 1 person!).
The bus has wifi (dan cam along for the ride too haha) to keep you entertained! ( even if it's a bit sluggish), and there's extra leg room so you don't feel cramped! The hours are pretty good too. Considering Bolt Bus is owned by Greyhound I have no idea why it's not more popular. On both rides there were only about 15-20 people, but then again we were commuting between NYC and Baltimore. There was a DC bus before ours and the bus was PACKED. But I just suspect that the DC bus would be a little louder with all those people. The AC on the bus works fine and like I said, the seats are so spacious and have plenty of leg room. Not to mention it drops off about 1 DC block away from the metro so it's way convenient. It drops off on 10th and H street NW so you're right next to a Metro Center (Blue, Red, and Orange Line!!) They also go to Philly&Boston!!

Day 1: Times Square, Flatiron, Koreatown, Hell's Kitchen

When in NYC there has got to be food and lots of it. The first place we hit up was:

Rickshaw Dumpling Bar
61 west 23rd between 5th Ave and 6th Ave

I just realized I'm really short. Christine && Me in front of Rickshaw! We both got the Peaking Duck dumplings and they were DELISH!


Christine's Peaking Dumplings because I'm currently at a lost to where my camera is. As you can see their dumplings are thin skin and you can have them steamed or pan fried. We both got them pan fried and their lightly fried on the bottom so they're still a bit chewy on the sides. Each dumpling comes with a different dipping sauce. With the Peaking duck you get a Hoi Sin dipping sauce which I LOVE!
At Rickshaw you can order 6 or 9 dumplings individually or get dumplings in a combo with soup or salad. The price is pretty good. I got 6 duck dumplings and a Thai coffee (AMAZING! Anyone that loves that perfect balance between coffee and cream sweet with a hint of bitterness will love. Even better then Cafe Su Da in my opinion) for a little under $10. Well worth it.

Then it was off to Koreatown for unknown goodies. Arty and Jeff (Christine's Beau and Beau's friend) wanted to give Pinkberry a go so the closest one I knew was in Koreatown. Plus, I wanted to see if I could stock up on any cosmectic goodies. Well, there were no cosmetic goodies BUT! I did happen to find false eyelashes! (EEP!) I found them in two different places, both recommended by M. Morning Glory (i think it's called) had Shisem eyelashes (YAYAYA!) for $5 not including tax. BUT! Then there was a store next to Pinkberry that had Shisem eyelashes for $4 with tax! The selection is smaller at the store next to Pinkberry but it's a dollar less! I don't really know the differences between the two sets that i bought since I can't read korean but I will be asking my Korean friends.
After Koreatown, we headed up to Hearld Square for some H&M and Forever21. I ended up just buying a cute little dress and blue t-shirt at F21. Then it was to Times Square where we checked out Toys 'R' Us! They had so many cute little themed sections!
The Empire State Building... in LEGOS!
A knight... in LEGOS!
A mechanical moving T-Rex in the Jurrasic Park side of Toys R Us and it roars and everything

Then it was off to Bubba Gump in Times Square for dinner before the boys headed back to MD. It's a themed restaurant from Forrest Gump and it's really cute. Everything in the restaurant is Forrest Gump related right down to the food.

Bubba Gump Restaurant

They have signs that say, "Run Forrest Run" or "Stop Forrest Stop" to let any of the waiters know if you want anything.
The table.
Christine and I got the same thing; Shrimper's Heaven. Chilled Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp, Tempura Shrimp, and their yummy fries. It's kinda gross that I actually ate it all.

So after the boys left to go back to Maryland, Christine and I lingered in our hotel room for a bit. Then I remembered Kyotofu! A place I found thanks to New York Magazine! It didn't close until 1:30 am and served dessert so we decided to go!

Kyotofu
9th Ave (between 48th and 49th I believe)
There is only one word for this place: AMAZING! I got a chocolate molten mochi cake and it was the lightest, yet amazing thing EVER! It had little blue berry chips and the mochi on the inside was just delite! It also had a little green tea matcha cream and it was perfect to even out the sweetness. I have to admit, the soy chocolate milk was a bit much but it did calm down the chocolate taste from the cake.

Christine got this amazing soy sundae that looked AWESOME and tasted like amazingness. Everything was so pretty!

I'll defiantly be going back to this place and trying their sweet tofu which is what they're known for. They also serve dinner if you're interested in a full meal. There's a bar in the front where you can sit and enjoy your food and people watch or there's a dining room in the back that looked really cute. It's small so don't miss it!


We also got a few things to go. The guy actually only gave us one of each instead of two of each, but we called them when we got back and he brought us our yummy pastries in under 30 minutes and added a few macaroons. We got a Green Tea Cupcake and a Green Tea roll. I'd stick with the cupcakes if I were you. The roll was just a bit off and not very Green Tea tasting.
You can't see it but the green tea cupcake is so green on the inside! And they gave us mini green tea cupcakes too after we finished our dessert.

After being stuffed with food we went back to the hotel and decided to try on our new false lashes. Hahah to say the least it was an interesting time

Christine's looked fantabulous.

I, on the other hand, cannot take a decent picture ever. Side view of the falsies and my double chin.
Here's a close up picture of my eyes taken after I got home. One with falsies and one without.

Then it was bedtime! Hi Christine!!!

Day 2- Chinatown, SoHo, East Village, West Village

So the day started out in Chinatown to get the Family some yummy pastries they requested. My favorite bakery in Chinatown is Tai Pan on Mott St. My grandmother goes there everytime she goes to Chinatown to bring me and my brother back pastries.

Tai Pan Bakery

Pineapple Buns!! My brother's favorite so I had to get him a few.


These are my favorite. We call them Nai Yio Bao or translated to Buttermilk Buns. Their a soft airy bun with yummy buttercream smushed in between like a hot dog and sprinkled with coconut.
Last but not least, my Lao Po Cookie or Wife Cake or Sweetheart Cake as some people call it. I think Tai Pan sells the best Lao Po cookie in Chinatown. One order of it comes with 2 cookies and each "cookie" is HUGE. As you can see from the picture its like the half size of my face! And it's soft and flaky and the inside is nice and soft with sesame seeds. MMmm. I just had one for breakfast and it was awesome.

We dropped by 22 Pell St Salon to get Christine a haircut but the stylist she wanted wasn't there yet, but we went back to the room to drop off all our pastries and then we went back and got her hair cut. I found the salon from one of Fuz's videos and Christine got the same stylist she did, Nelson. I think he did a pretty good job and he seemed really into what he was doing. If I need a hair cut next time I'm in NY I'll probably go there. After Christine got her hair cut we went off to SoHo and then off to the Village.

SoHo

Uniqlo
I heard about Uniqlo from my friend Michelle. The prices are very similar to H&M and as Michelle said, "the style here is much more Japanese." Their pretty well known for their Jeans that are only around 30 bucks a pair. I tried on a few but my only beef with them is that their pretty high waisted, which I can't rock for the life of me. But on the bright side they offer free tailoring of their jeans so even if you're short but you find an awesome pair you're set! I bought a cute checkered scarf that was on sale for 10 dollars.

My new scarf!

We also dropped by Girl Props but didn't find anything and stopped in So Good Jewelry to look at some sparkly jewelry, but we were in a bit of a time crunch and hadn't even gone to the Village yet which was our big mission!

West Village

Marc Jacobs

I LOVE the Marc Jacobs store in the west Village. Last time I went there I found the cutest hats (my mushroom hat that I lost :( ) and wallets and little accessories. If you get lucky they tend to have some really good sales! My cousin went there once and she's a MJ addict like me. They were having a 60% off sale and she stocked up.


I only bought this little compact that I actually saw last time I was in NYC. It'd so cute!

Beard Papa's

Beard Papa's is another suggestion that my friend Michelle gave. It's a cream puff bakery chain that is based in Hong Kong. There's one in the West Village and another in the East Village. We only got one to start and see how it tasted and I must say, it is heavenly! The cream is filled into the puff when you order it and the cream itself is nice and cool and not too sugary like I was expecting it to be but still packed enough flavor to make it sweet. They have different flavors on differnt weeks of every month. When we went it was Earl Grey but I decided to stick with the original to start. Definatly a must try. It looks just like the picture.


Yogurtland
This place is AWESOME! It's self serve and has a bunch of flavors! They had Lychee!!!!! I had a little bit of lychee, green tea, and strawberry. Not as good as Pinkberry or Red Mango, but it's pretty yummy for .49 cents an ounce.


East Village

Chikalicious, Dessert Club
204 E 10th St

The prices for the cupcakes at this place is actually really good. I think it's 1.75 ish for the regular flavors and 2.75 or something for the premium flavors. They are pretty small but I think their perfect and not too sweet and still moist.Red Velvet, Mocha, and Carmel cupcakes! I haven't eaten them all yet, but I did have the red velvet today and it was yummy even though it's about 3 days old and were in the fridge since I've been home Thursday. ** If you ever refridgerate butter cream cupcakes please allow them to sit oustide for a few minutes to let the buttercream soften**

Dessert Truck
Location changes depending on time. Check their website/twitter for up to date location.

So after Ippudo we were still a bit hungry. Well, we were in New York and surrounded by food! We went to the Dessert Truck to get something to bring back to our hotel. I first heard about this place from Bobby Flay's Throwdown on Foodnetwork (where I found/heard half of the food places we go to in NYC) and wanted to give it a try because I thought their truck was so cute! And their bread pudding looked really yummy. Everything is under $8, I believe, and they only have about a 6 item menu. We both got the Bread Pudding, which is what they challenged Bobby Flay to. Their bread pudding comes with either a vanilla sauce or a bacon sauce. I wasn't adventerous enough to try the bacon sauce but everyone in the show seemed to like it a lot.

This is the Dessert Truck on St. Mark's and 3rd Ave in the East Village. You can't miss it!
The Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce. Even the bag is cute!
Christine digging into her bread pudding.
My bread pudding after it was half eaten. SO GOOD!

Shake Shack
23rd St between Madison and Broadway, in the Park.
hours: 11 am to 11pm

My single Shackburger! I don't know what they put in it (crystal meth!?) but it's so good... and addicting... and yummy.
Me chowing down... hahaha it's kinda gross how much I eat.Devoured. Fries, Burger, and hotdog.

Day 3

It was time to go home. We checked out of hour hotel, hung out at Dean and Deluca for half an hour and went down to Penn station. I was sad to leave but happy to come home. Daniel picked us up and we just hung out at mi casa for a while.

School starts on monday and I'm not happy about it but I gotta get it done. I'm gonna get ready and head out to VA with Christine and Manda!

So Tell Me Darling Do You Wish We'd Fall In Love?

My new obsession: Glee/Cory Monteith
Glee is a new series on Fox that is essentially High School Musical with a lot more comedy and a girl that doesn't sing through her nose that you can't help but hate. The pilot premiered and the actual show won't start until fall, but I already can't wait!
No RPattz, but he can sing and be hilarious. His eyes aren't too bad either. (Gush) Haha, Daniel always tells me that every guy I find attractive is always a brunette and he never understood why I am attracted to him. He's just special, I suppose.

Here's a clip of Glee singing one of my favorite songs of all time. (Journey's Don't Stop Believin')



And this clip here is the one that offically got me hooked to this show:



So I need a solution to my bad habit of wanting to go to the mall and this is what I have come up with: Make a Wish List. It helps me slowly cross off one thing at a time but should prevent hauls. Of course I'm making this list after I just got back from the mall and bought more Mac products. So as I jam out to Simon and Garfunkel you get this LIST of amazing little knick knacks. My friends may think that I rarely buy shit, but the main reason is because it'd be a slippery hill once I start. Plus, it's not just make-up I'm in love with, I'm a bag whore. I present you (in no particular order):

C.Tang's Wish- List

1. Mac Studio Fix - NC 40
So I recently went to MAC and got matched with a foundation color, but today I bought the Mineralized Natural Powder instead because the SA told me that it would be better for summer and I don't know if I'm ready to commit to a shade yet especially in the summer knowing that I'll get darker.

MAC - $26

2. Mac Powerpoint Liner
I kinda fell in love with this liner when I bought it the other day but I ended up returning it because I didn't like the color (Grey Utility). I haven't bought a new one in black yet because I bought the Fluid Line from MAC instead (part of my MAC haul), but I'll more then likely be buying this sometime soon because I loved how smooth it went on.

MAC - $14.50

3. Benefit Jing-A-Ling
I love PINKS. Jing-A-Ling is the perfect pink! I think the color is so delicate and feminine and simply irresistible. I haven't bought this mainly because I have so much lip stuff that I haven't finished using yet, but I haven't bought a lipstick before... This will definately have to also be an investment sometime soon.

Sephora - $18

4. Louis Vuitton Totally Monogram MM
Louis are to me as baseball cards are to little boys. I collect them. It's an unhealthy love for a bag but handbags and make up are generally my weakness. I adore the bag for the side pockets and the zip close and the long straps. I have a speedy 30 that I can throw on my arm, but every girl needs a good shoulder bag. This will be mine.

Louis Vuitton - $1,000

5. Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM Damier
Anyone that knows me knows that I love Louis Vuitton. It's something about the classic look that I can't get over. Christine wants the Monogram Neverfull and I have a thing about having the same bag as my friends so I decided I wanted the Damier print because I've always wanted a Louis Damier. It's perfect for going out or heading to work. It packs everything you need because it's so big and like it says... it's never full!

Louis Vuitton - $750

6. Ray Ban Wayfarers
These make me nostalgic. I remember being really little and seeing my Mommy wear them. She wore them religiously and the Ray Ban Wayfarers were the only sunglasses she wore because she didn't believe that any other pair would do. Well, my mom has moved on from the Wayfarers but she still lives by Ray Ban and sadly, like mother like daughter. I have a pair of Ray Bans but I've always wanted a pair of Wayfarers because I love the classic style and the pop culture icon it became in the 80s. Of course I have a pair from Chinatown that I got, but nothing beats the real thing. Honestly, if I had the money I'd buy a pair in every color imaginable.

Sunglasses Hut - $109-135

7. Forever 21 Print Dress
I randomly fell in love with this dress. I saw it on a rack at F21 and tried it on as a joke. (I remember telling Christine, "Who the fuck would wear this out?!") Took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to get into it, but once I put it on I had a really hard time letting it go. I wanted a size up but they didn't have it so I decided to put it down. A week later this dress was gone. I searched 2 f21 but nothing. I found it online but was (and still am) too frugal to pay for shipping. I'm waiting to go to NYC and see if I have any luck... but I'll probably buy it when I get back if I don't find it.

Forever 21 - $24.95

8. Robert Pattinson

Priceless.


That's it for now. =) 3 More days until NYC! Probably a post about my haul I did yesterday later on today.

M to the D

HAHAHAHA! So I was on my Yahoo! homepage and found this article. According to it, Maryland is tied with South Carolina as the 11th state where the worst drivers live. This somehow doesn't surprise me after my outing today. Not to mention we live right next to the nation's capitol (which is 8th worst). To prove that Maryland is the 11th worst, I will share a little story with you.

I am 19 years of age and turning 20 this year. I have been in a total of 2 accidents since I got my license, none of which were my fault (just to dispel the Female Asian driver myth). I've only had my license for almost 3 years this December. My first accident was on my graduation day (FAIL!). I wasn't driving, my dad was, and we were going out to the Cheesecake Factory for a celebratory dinner in my honor (YAYAYAY!). We were literally 40 feet away from the resturant when some guy decided to not stop and crash striaght into us. You'd think the prick would have stopped, but no. It was a hit and run and he hit us from my passenger side, but that's not even what I was worried about. My elderly grandmother ( my PoPo) was in the car too. Everyone turned out to be okay and the police were called and there were even witnesses who were nice enough to stay with us. Turns out the jerkward hit us so hard that his licenese plate fell off his car. Then literally 5 days after, I was rear-ended by a mini-van while I was fully stopped a traffic light. This happened 2 days before I went off with my clan of seniors to Ocean City for our traditional beach week. To say the least I drank myself numb so I couldn't feel pains for a week but then it was followed by a full summer of physical therapy. JOY. My most recent one was another rear-ending in November. My bumper was already hanging for dear life after the first accident but the second one totaled my car... keep in mind I drove a 15 year old car that's AC stopped working and driver door failed to open from the outside. This resulted in my parents coming to terms with buying another car for me and thus I recieved my BEST christmas present ever!

My Corolla! =) But yeah. I can't count how many times I've been in "almost" accidents and I live in the Suburbs... I can't even imagine living in Baltimore. Not to mention if the weather condition is anything other then Sunny, Maryland traffice comes to a screeching halt. Rain, fog, snow, drizzle, hail, etc. Don't bother going out. And don't even get me started on the Beltway. It always shocks me when I use that term and people look at me like I have a penis on my face. The Beltway is exactly what it sounds; a big circle that connects Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. TK once told me that he drove around the entire beltway in a single day to avoid traffic.

So enough of my boring Maryland life.

This is how beautiful it's been for the past few days:

Nothing but blue skies, green trees, and sun. And you can't see it but a nice breeze too. Apparently it's amazing down in Ocean City right now too (told courtesy of Daniel).






















It was so nice I went outside to take pics. I love hanging in the sun cause it lightens my hair. No dye (yet) au natrual. I just want to have long hair again.




























My lashes were working for me yesterday. Yay, Fresh Supernova!!

So I mentioned in a previous post that I tried to do the winged eyeliner look but failed to get both eyes to match, but I did managed to get one eye to look alright!! Here you go:

Like I said, the grey was a bit too light for me but I'll probably either get the darker gray or black.

That's all for this post. Expect another post later due to me being bored. =)

xoxoxctang

"Herro Pwease!"

So it's currently 1:40 am and I can't sleep worth shizzz because I had a can of coke about 20 minutes ago. It's so sad. Daniel and I gave up soda for the Spring semester and since the Spring semester ended on Saturday for me I started drinking soda again and today I had a 16 oz Dr. Pepper (my favorite) and I forgot how good it was. And now I just had a coke. So bad.

So, I'm going to the wonderful NYC in a week with Christine!! And I just can't wait!! We need to reserve bus tickets but I need to talk to Xtine first before I go ahead and do that.

I'm so excited for NYC. You can defiantly expect a nice long post of my trip.

So I've been carrying my camera with me a lot more now and days and I thought I'd just share some pictures in my blog. They're mostly at my favorite frozen yogurt place called CaliYo. They have the best yogurt in the state/my area and it's almost comparable to Pinkberry. It's totally self-serve and 45 cents a ounce! So goooood. And also keep in mind this place is about 40 minutes from where I live and I'm totally willing to jump in a car just to satisfy my craving.

I went last Wednesday with my best friend Adubbs && her boo Cbreezy.


Adubbs with her Honeydew and Fruity Pebbles haha


Cbreez does not look happy being attacked by the paparazzi.


The couple. I made them take this twice cause it kept coming out blurry. They're cutes and Adubbs is my bestie for life. Ain't got shit on our friendship since 7th grade.


Then I went to Caliyo again yesterday with my Big Bro and Amorface because we were bored and haven't hung out in such a long time.


This is m Big Bro who I feel like I haven't seen in AGES. Since summer is starting back up, we're definitely hanging out a lot more!


He's never had CaliYo before but Amoreface and I got him hooked on it!



Our trio of FroYo. Notice the lone gummy bear. He died in action/fell on the floor.



Candid.


The three of us are texting junkies.


I was showing my frequent customer card to Amorface.


Indulge!


YAYAYYA! Fire Hazard & Big Bro.


So cute! Big Bro && Amorface!


The trio! Thank goodness for self timer. Haha I have chinky eyes in pictures.


Devoured and conquered.

Frozen Yogurt is seriously an addiction and I've got everyone hooked on Caliyo. I don't know what they put in it (crystal meth), but it's so good and guilt free.

Haha, I also found these pictures that I took during finals week. My tornado of a room. This is basically the insight to my life.





This was the floor of my room for a week and a half. Each pile was a semester worth of notes/papers/exams for each class I was taking. Such a fail.


MY BED! Don't hate on my Ralph Lauren Teddy Bear sheets. They're the shit. And my Hello Kitty two sided pillow case courtesy of Adubbs from last Christmas. This is where I curled up into a ball everynight dreading school... with my essentials: TI 83, cell phone, math homework. With a view of James Dean.


My desk which I rarely sit at because I'd rather do homework in bed. Lo-Carb Monsters= Awesomeness!!


My ultimate distraction haha.

Thank god all the finals are done and now I can just kick back and relax before I start summer session until August, but I'm taking it with my Asian Sidekick so I'm sure you'll see many interesting pictures of us being retarded.

AHHH! I can't wait to go to NYC!!

XOXOXctang.

Nom Nom Nom!

So I finished my 4/5 exam today which was total hell...
But afterwords I gave Dear Daniel a call and we hung out for a bit and grabbed a bite to eat. It was my turn to decide what to food so we went through our usual bantering of making the other one pick and asking each other what we were in the mood to eat. After forgetting about food and Sporcling and then realizing that the meter on my car was up, running out of his dorm and across his community to find 1 minute left in my meter, I made the quick decision of going to get Vietnamese food.

Anyone that knows me, knows my Vietnamese side of the family and how I love embracing that side of me heritage simplely for the food. I swear, there isn't one Vietnamese thing that I don't like. I've been eating Pho (pronouced Fuh) since I could use a pair of chopsticks and my mom always made fun of me as a kid saying I was more Vietnamese then Chinese cause I would pick Pho over McDonalds or Dim Sum any day. But as I got older, I tried new Vietnamese things and I have to say my favorite is this meat dish that they serve at Vietnamese resturants that is cooked in a bowl of boiling water and viniger. So good.

About a year ago, I had pho 3 days in a row. To say that least, I actually grew sick of it that week and have not had Pho since. I stumbled upon a new favorite when I tried out this new Vietnamese place that opened up near me. Bún chả.

I remember my dad getting it when I was younger but I never really liked it, but now I'm totally in love with it and got Daniel hooked on it also. I only get it with grilled pork and just hand me my nước chấm and I'm ready to go! Nuoc Cham is the fish sauce/vingar combo that you pour on top and I love it. I really wish I brought my camera with me but it was a spur of the moment decision.

Short post, now time to shower, do some laundry, and study for like an hour for comm!

'Shrooms

So, I have 3 finals tomorrow and I should really be studying but a short post can never hurt right?

So as I jam out to one of my favorite bands, The Shins and lay in bed I had a sudden impluse to just haul the whole mall. (it's awful). But then I remembered some pictures I took of what I wore to school yesterday.

This is my usual face for school. No mascara, no liner, just a smidge of blush (Mac Springsheen from BFF). I'd usually wear mascara but that requires time that I rather sleep in during.
The sun was out and it was major sunny yesterday but we just had a crucial rain storm so it was a smidge chilly out, so I decided to wear my Marc Jacobs mushroom hat that I adore! I got it during my trip to NYC over Spring Break with my BFF. We were just walking around Greenwich completely lost but not minding because we were on an adventure that day and we loved the little shops on Bleecker so we just wandered and all of a sudden we walked by this store that didn't seem to have a name but we looked inside the window and it was decorated with flowers from wall to wall... and even ceiling! Then I looked down to see it was Marc Jacobs store! I of course freaked out and said we HAD to go in because I am a Marc Jacobs junkie. When we got inside everything was so amazingly cheap! I think it was their discount store 'cause everything was final sale, but I couldn't help myself but load up. I spent the most there during my entire trip (given that I didn't spend that much in general, stupid student budget!). I ended up getting this mushroom hat for $10! So I got it in blue and black. I have yet to wear my blue one but I find any excuse to break out the black one! My head is shaped weird so it's a little bit hard to fit it on my head but bobby pins fix that easily.

Slouchy, oversized, perfect.

Like I said, it was sunny out yesterday and whenever the sun comes out the clothes start getting shorter/nonexistent. Just rocked a shirt that I got from Heritage for like $7 ( green and stripped, my fave), Gap mini skirt (adore), and Blowfish black flats that I got at Feline's Basement near me right before they closed for under $30.


This is half my current life. Physics, Organic Chemistry II, Calculus, Communications. LAME. I wonder why I choose to be a Biological Science major some days. That's right, it's because I'm a total nerd/geekoid when it comes to cells.

You know I'm studying when I carry to backpacks out to my car. I love my Marc Jacobs backpack that I got during my Spring Break trip for $12. Roomy, comfy, and fits all my crap.
Don't hate on my Ralph Lauren Sheets. Anyone that knows me knows that I love teddy bears so when Build A Bear came to my local mall, my parents spent a shitious load of money.

----
Today is this gorgeous man's 23rd birthday. Many of you know him as "Edward Cullen" from Twilight or Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter. I just know him as hotness. I don't care if he smells/doesn't shower/shave. He's a boy; boys are supposed to be dirty. His jaw line is to die for, his smile is adorable, and his eyes BLERAGHH!. Some days I feel bad that he's got 12 year old girls wetting their pants when they see him, but I mean he's an actor, he pretty might signed up for it. But he's just so scruffy and manly... minus the whole sparkling business *fan girl sigh*

Sometimes I Make Videos

I made these videos a while ago. They're basically montages of my friends and I =)




and this one!



---
This is my newest video. It was randomly taken while I was hanging out with my friend Cori. Just randomly tapped play on my laptop and ended up with a 16 minute video but I was able to edit down to 4:30 =)

Greasy Head!

What do I do when I'm bored out of my mind and avoiding my Organic test grade and Calculus studies?

PLAY WITH MY HAIR!

I can never get my hair to curl but I found my holy grail... Aussie Aussome volume hair spray! Just curl and spray and take in the yummy smell of your hair spray. I started by separating my hair into parts, but it just wasn't working for me because guess what! I'm totally uncoordinated and I get too freaked out when it gets too close. So I just take different chunks and curl half of my head, spray, crunch a bit and do the other half. Looks kinda like a mess at first.

But stick it with a headband or pin parts back with bobby pins... it's kinda cute mess then!


Close up of the hair/my face. Prepare your eyes for the terror!


Ignore the bags... total lack of erase paste today (that shizzz is amazing!)
I'm currently totally in love with my duo mascara of:
-Fresh Supernova
-Fresh Firebird
Sephora has a package of both of the Fresh mascaras in travel sizes for $10!!
It was too tempting not to buy!
The eyeliner is Sephora brand waterproof retractable eyeliner for $12 bucks! It's definately waterproof... scrubbing didn't even get this stuff off. It comes with a litle sharpener cause you know you hate it when the tips get dull on the retractables. ANNNNDDD it comes with a smudger thinger-ma-bob.

I should totally be doing Calc right now... but I think a shower is needed.

OH BTDUBBS.

I watched Hannah Montana: the Movie with my lovers last night via internet and I have to admit it was a pretty banging movie!

Now if you ever quote me on saying that I'll deny it.

Also...
this week's episode of Sonny With A Chance was adorable!
