"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.

Photobucket
Adubbs with her Honeydew and Fruity Pebbles haha

Photobucket
Cbreez does not look happy being attacked by the paparazzi.

Photobucket
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.

Photobucket
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!

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

Photobucket

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


Photobucket
Candid.

Photobucket
The three of us are texting junkies.

Photobucket
I was showing my frequent customer card to Amorface.

Photobucket
Indulge!

Photobucket
YAYAYYA! Fire Hazard & Big Bro.

Photobucket
So cute! Big Bro && Amorface!

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

Photobucket
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.



Photobucket

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.

Photobucket
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.

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

Photobucket
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.

Photobucket
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.

Add me on twitter!

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!

OMG It's an Obession

This is my new blog about... everything. mostly food and make up though.
I've discovered a love for Sephora and completely over-priced make up, but my love for food has always existed.

The first thing I wanted to review for my blog is:

1) Maeda-En Mochi Green Tea Ice Cream
Any lovers of Green Tea and Mochi will ADORE this marriage between the two. I got a box of 6 from H-Mart for 4.99 and I think it's worth EVERY penny. One thing though, make sure you check that it's not melted immediately after you buy it. My parents got a box of vanilla perviously and they were melted before we got to sink our teeth into them. I wouldn't recommend buying them if your commute from the Market is more then 20 minutes on a hot day.
It's got a perfect green tea and matcha taste and the mochi is perfectly soft but gummy even after being frozen! You can leave the box out for a little bit to make the mochi softer but it gets a bit sticky. If served frozen you can even cut it into fourths and it'll make a perfect treat at a party!
I will definitely be buying more.
Additional flavors: Vanilla, Mango, Strawberry, Sweet Red Bean, and Chocolate!
