Dry skin Cured with Curel

My skin is typically a bit dry, so I signed on a buzzagent campaign for curel to try it out. It made my skin so soft and cured the dryness. It says it's great for people with diabetes, which I can't vouch for because I'm not diabetic, but I do love that it had no scent, and I don't believe there were any parabens, either.

I recieved six mini-tubs of them, and have offered a few to friends, who really enjoyed them.
here's a link to them. <img src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/curel.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=9837235127&Campaign=3266738375&Uid=1474658&token=97ee7db5226af806e0068bf6322e85bf" alt=""/>

"Cheese, Grommit! Cheese"

If you ever watched wallace and grommit, you'll remember this, if not, nevermind, or youtube it.
I got cheese from Influenster a while ago, and I've been meaning to blog about it for a while. I've been really busy. Anyway, I chose Sargento's light string cheese, and Aiden chose the colby sticks. I took a bite of his, and they weren't bad, but I'm terribly partial to string cheese. These things disappeared in no time, and I think I"ve found a new favorite brand. Before, I'd normally just pass Sargento, not even realizing they made string cheese.

I loved the richness of it, actually. most of the string cheeses I"ve had have been pretty weak, and mild in flavor (as one would expect), but I tasted more flavor in these, even though they were "light". This is a brand I'll be recommending many times over, of course, I'll be buying it, too.

My Hair is Softer Than That Thang.

... And "That thang" is a cloud...idk.

anyhousenwhosen, I'm sitting here watching one of these Weylie videos, and it reminded me that I have to write about my hair because it feels AMAZING!!!!!

Like I have this thick, relaxed hair, and it used to be drier than the desert, like I kid you not.

So, anysnooch, I was looking around online for things to do with tea tree oil, because I knew it was a great astringent and all that other stuff (there's literally so much info on that stuff it's not even funny, like, wikipedia or something), and I came across this blog where a woman had added some to her shampoo, and I followed a commenter's instructions, because she didn't know how much per oz she had been adding, and the commenter said to add about 1 tablespoon per 200ml. I had a 300ml bottle, so I probably added like ...2.5 or 3. The shampoo I got was a twofer, (shampcon) by Herbal Essences, the Unbreakable Seduction...SO amazing, and it smells great. Also, I really like the smell of tea tree oil, so the fact that it almost overpowers my shampoo smell (until I'm blowdrying), doesn't bother me.

Anyway, I was blowdrying my hair, and I noticed that it was softer than usual already. Then I flat ironed it (which I previously hadn't done for about two weeks or so...I was trying to cut down). It was softer than Aiden's hair. And his hair's pretty dang soft! I've shown you guys pics of him, right? Anyhousenwhosen, it also took care of the dandruff problem I was having ever since I started GHE'ing (which I had previously stopped doing because it caused the dandruff to begin with...I'm probably never going back to that mess). My hair stays soft for days. I still wash twice a week, but I feel like I might be able to cut down now that my hair feels taken care of.

kk, that's all.

psyche!

I forgot to mention that my hair suffers way less breakage. Nary a strand when I comb, and the sink stays pretty clean when I blowdry/iron. I used to have a terrible breakage problem.

"If you don't like it, give it back" Whaaa~~~~~?

Hey, guys. Recently, I switched jobs, and I've also not been feeling very hungry (as in, I'm not eating out of boredom or just to eat, I genuinely only eat when I'm hungry), so I don't finish much of the food I am given (usually by the cooks who make the food earlier in the day for the seniors, or they bring it from home). I try to take only what I think I can eat, but I invariably end up dumping it, anyway.

There's somewhat of a language barrier between me and the cooks, so when I was told to give the food back if I didn't want it, I was a little taken aback, like "what? I...I really like the food. What are you even...oh, yeah, I do dump a lot of food I guess", but I figured no one would want my sloppy remainders, because who really wants to eat after someone else?

Well, anyway, I'm glad they offer the food, because eating off of the menu everyday, sometimes I really can't decide, and some days, I just really don't want to because I know that what they made the seniors actually tastes really good, and what I would end up choosing from the menu would be calorie laden, and not too filling.

I'm not ready for next week to start, the weekend is too fun :D

Back to School - DormLife

Hey, everyone. Sorry I took such a long hiatus, but here we are and it's almost back to school time.

I decided that I'd share what I know about dorm life to hopefully help make your stay in the dorms a bit more enjoyable.

so first off, is friendmaking. It'll be easier if you're outgoing, but even if you aren't, people will likely approach you. You are almost guaranteed to make friends, unless you are hell-bent on making enemies, or not meeting people, I guess.

Dorms sometimes organize trips, and even if they don't, if you join a club, they likely will, so you can look forward to those things. Even if you don't particularly like the trip, you can just chill with your friends at the event. (Our dorm always had a trip to the mall. Everyone has been there several times, but we still made it fun.)

Since you'll be in a dorm, you will have an RA. At least one. Get to know them because if anything goes wrong, or you need to talk, that's what they're there for. In my video, I mentioned not doing this to manipulate them, I have a very long story that I don't want to get into, but over the course of a month, I ended up needing my RA and several other staff because of room mate issues gone terribly awry, they spilled over into school, and I was very lucky to have them on my side. Because I was alway talking to them, and very honest about what happened, and everything else going on with me, things ended up going very well for me, and I was made student of the month.

More later, I have to go right now. :P

Moving in a couple days

Hi, guys. As you see, I'll be moving in a couple of days. I really couldn't be more excited about this. This has been the longest 3.5months I have ever had in my life - including my worst time in the dorms that I never talk about. The past week hasn't been a jewel, either. I started a new job, thinking the convenience would be great for me, but as it turns out, the job is a bad fit, so here I am, looking again, packing when I'm at the house ( I refuse to call it home, because I hate to be there. Who would want to live with a racist cougar, anyway? - not that I knew she was one when I first moved in), and not doing much else.

I just can't wait to move - actual privacy, no tiptoeing around, finding my things broken, or finding our living conditions otherwise uninhabitable. There won't be a hostile environment, which is what I can't wait for.

As for posting regularly, I'll try. My first objective is to find a job I don't hate that allows me to live comfortably, and then I'll invest in home internet, so my postings would be more frequent.

That's about it, really.

New Blog

Hey, did I tell you guys that I made a new blog? 'cuz I can't remember, but I did, this one's just for my beauty related stuff, like reviews and stuff. Edible things reviews will still be here, but check me out, I"m gonna try and get a new one posted today.

Not sure if I can get these images on, this match art is so cool, you guys have to see it...it'll be on my instagram...promises, kk, here's the link , I got distracted, bye.

GHE progress

As some of you know, I have been doing the greenhouse effect on my hair. Well, I am pleased to report that I have seen progress. I started with about a half inch of new growth. Now I have almost two inches in a matter of a couple weeks.

I was skeptical at first, pretty dubious that it would even work, but after seeing this progress, I could not be happier. Of course, I plan to continue for at least a year. Probably indefinitely.

aparrently im not following any blogs?!?!?!

When did this happen?!?! I never unsubscribed to the blogs I had been following, sobi need to know what the literal shit toogle thinks it's pulling!  I want my goddamn blogs back! Fucking a....so pissed... 

challenge bandwagon

Hey, guys. I just joined another challenge. This one goes for 6 months, and yes, I kept up with the no cutting challenge. This one is the ghe, or greenhouse effect.
It works different ways depending I'd you are natural or relaxed. I'm debating if I even want to keep relaxing, so I figure this is a good way to find out. I'll be following the natural ladies method, which is plastic cap/bag, scarf, and winter hat. I typically sleep in my winter hat, anyway, but adding the kher two is a nice addition.
What you do is either spray your hair with a bit of water and then seal with oil, or just use the oil. I am finding that I must cut back on the water, and I use evoo. Never oil your scalp, or you'll block the sebum and defeat the purpose.
You also have to know your growth rate to see if this method actually helps. Mine us typically 1/4 inch a month. Some ladies are achieving half to a full inch. I'm hoping, obvs. for a full inch by this time next month.
But I'm looking for more protective styles. I lime Bantu knot outs, but my arms, yo. I just did bigger bantus last night, and I like the looser curls. Yesterday, someone asked if I nust let my hair go wild. I had to explain to the poor (Caucasian) girl that I have never seen my natural hair, and that I had to curl it to achieve the look I got yesterday.
Tafn :D

Tossing all my makeup!!!?!?!?!?

Yep. You read that right. I'll be tossing my makeup soon enough. But only to make rom for quality products, more lenses, and things like that. I want to improve my appearance, and while its possible to do that with cheap makeup/no lenses, the style I want requiresenses and I've always wanted to experiment with them anyway. Also, you get what you pay for in regards to makeup. While none of mine cause me to break out (my poor diet does that once in a while to remind me that I really shouldn't eat slvertain things, and at the very least, I should consume them in moderation.) Now, other aspects of my appearance can't be bought with mo et, and I did dedicate this year to a new beginning. I'm five months behind, so I need to kick it in gear.

That's all for now, lovies. I'll be more regular soon, hopefully. And no, I'm not just saying that...

Spa Sisters Pore Brush Review and Mini Face Care Routine

sorry it's been so long since I've posted here, but it's been a rough few weeks. I was going to post about that, but I figure it's better to not publicize too much, as that could aggravate the situation, so I found something I could do. A little bit of a review after a few weeks hiatus. I've really been wanting to do more, but aside from work, school finally ending, and a bunch of other stuff, I've just been really busy. Aside from not knowing what I want to do with my blog/vlog, really, my blog is the place I would come to for venting, as you guys well know, but maybe I can try and keep it down to a minimum. I figured out what I want to do now, at least with my vlog, and I would do some of those things here, but   I'll talk more about that later.
Some of the things I reviewed in this video, just so you know what you're getting, or in case you won't be able to watch it are the Spa Sisters Pore Brush, Skin Milk, Mary Kay's Timewise products (but only the night solution and the 3 in one cleanser, a clean and clear astringent (I forgot to mention it in the vlog, lol), and my homemade sugar scrub. I apologize for it being so dark, I thought with the sun and me turning the light on it would be brighter, but I had all of the light behind me, so...there you go.
Anysnooch, I hope you guys enjoy it. ^_^

hair care update ^_^

Hey, I know none of you are aware that I changed my hair care routine, I was seeing a lot of breakage and was of course displeased by this.

so I went no heat. the first time, I liked my results for the first day, then I went back to bunning (I think I was in a bunning challenge and forgot about it, but I typically bun my hair every day anyhow.)

I made these little mini buns by twisting my hair and they would curl up into spirals when my hair was dry (I also used ample conditioner and coconut oil to moisturize.) But it's happened again, and now it's worse. some of my hair dredded up, well, nearly, anyway.

so now, I'm gonna try something different. I'll only use one heat method, and that'll be my blow dryer. Idk about getting it super straight, but I don't care too much about that right now. puffy is good.

Now, I have to head in to class :P

moar updatez laterzzz.

ermahgerrrdddddzzzzz and junksss.

honestly, I still don't know where "ermagerd" came from, but that's irrelevant...I think...

Anyshooch, these workout classes and work ahve been killing my free time, well, obviously, but it's not like I've minded too much. I just wish I could have been blogging to you all more frequently. Also, it's hard to vlog when I dont' feel like I have anything to talk about. Nothing happens at work, really, school is ...school, except for that run, we all got lost and ended up having a longer run than we were supposed to . we guestimated that it was like 3-4 miles when it should have been "a little more than 2.2", since that's how long our last run was. It didn't hurt that much, or anything, and I surprised myself by completing it so fastly, and catching up with the rest of my class, but it got done, and I'm proud.

well, anyway, I've also been in a not so great mood because I found out that another family member went and died. aparrently, I don't get sad anymore. I just get mad...

but also, I think people have been getting too sensitive.
like, there's this new girl at work (I wish they would stop hiring new people and just give regulars more hours, but whatever), she told me that she didn't know how to do this one thing that I'm good at, but the manager guy sent her to do it anyway, and I sorted clothes. later, he comes back, we are extremely backed up because a of all) she's incredibly slow at this thing I do really fast, and b of all) she has these ridiculous nails on, and she keeps complaining about them. I ask him if I can have her room so I can do this thing because she even told me that she didn't know how to do it, and we're backed up, and he's all "no, I'll just help her", after shushing me because what I said might have hurt her feelings. I told him that she's the one who told me, and everyone is being too sensitive around here. - Once I've been somewhere too long, I stop caring about what comes out of my mouth to a point, but people really do need to grow a pair around that place, and by "people" I mean him...

so, anyway, that was the same day I found out. My mom has a magical habit of telling me these things RIGHT THE FUCK BEFORE I HEAD IN TO WORK. THANKS, MOM.

...see. angry, not sad.


thatisall.

The Goon(ie)s

I know, I'm terribly sporadic with my blogging, but I finally have something for you guys.
yesterday, after gym class, I was minding my own business, talking to my friend, and this woman comes up to us asking if we'll cuss someone out for her since we were both apparently "cussing pretty good".

Then she proceeds to tell us that she's not good at cussing people out, so she had her daughter do it, and one of her friends, even. Some woman has been texing her really long paragraphs since six in the morning (things I genuinely don't give .26ths of a rat's ass about), and that she'd have just gone over and beaten the woman up.

Then she asks again if we'll do it. we both say no, but she's no listening, oh no. she's already pulling the woman's number up in her phone, giving me a script of what she'd want to say (but can't), and now the phone is dialing "pig"...really? she doesn't even get a real name? so she puts the phone up to my ear, and all I hear is "hello...hello? ... hello?"

I start apologizing to the woman and tell her that it's the wrong number (meaning I've dialed the wrong number, not her, of course), and the original woman takes her phone back. Except now, she and my friend are making fun of me for saying "it's the wrong number"...
BITCH, you're the one who wanted to call her, not me. I even told you I wouldn't cuss her out.
1) I don't know the woman who bothers you,
2) she's never done anything to me
and 3) you are the same bitch who punched me in the back during this friend's dance class for absolutely no readon other than that you decided to stand directly behind me and don't know how to say "excuse me"...
FUCK NO I'm not helping you out. you can hide behind your goons all you want, I'm not one of them.
and Friend? I didn't exactly see you jump up to help this dumbass. You don't get to laugh. At all.

yup...that's about it. Now I"m off to work, but things have been getting really slow there, which makes me sad. I just hope they aren't sending people home early, but it's the weekday, and they generally do send people home early...so...good luck to me, I guess.

hair challenge results

I think the challenge is over, and I'm sorry for not posting more often, I keep forgetting to have comcast come over and fix my internet so I can have wifi...anyway, so, my results for the no cutting challenge are thus:

my hair ...basically looks the same, except since I was using ponytails (too high up, and almost daily in the same spot), I pulled some of my hair in certain spots...I need to find an alternate style, but I know that daily/semidaily heat isn't good for my hair, however, that makes it easy to manage, and I kind of have to wash my hair like two or three times a week. I have issues, I guess...

I dont' know what to do...I need my problems fixed, but I don't want to pay 60 bucks a month for weave that I know won't look all that great within a week considering how I sleep, move, etc. And especially since this dang cardio class started. ...I'll think of something.


anyway, s, those are my results. hair's about the same except where I've pulled the shit out...fml.

did you know

that unpacking is by far more unpleasant than packing? ...and I'm still not done because I literally don't know where to put ANYTHING. well, aside from that, I haven't been up to much of anything aside from the move, which you already knew. That and youtubing...youtubeing...however you spell it. but it's not easy, like I thought it would be. well, I didn't expect it to be THAT easy, but I was hoping it would be easy enough to know what I"m going to post in a week. and some people regularly post two or three times a week. ...I don't know, I"m not giving up though. I just have to think harder. maybe I should paint my ood. idk.

packing is the

Antonym of fun. I swear, I can't think of more things that are less fun than packing. And I still have so much stuff to get rid of, you wouldn't believe.
Sorry about my hiaitus, btw. Once we move into this new place, im gonna have tons of internet, so ill be much more frequent.
I finally got my next YouTube vid up, too. I need more sd cards..or to just clean my old one out...probably both.
Anyway, back to packing. I don't know what to do with most of my things, cuz I use all of the rest of them.
Oh, I also got an employee recognition at work yesterday, I'm so proud of it! Heee.

Well, that's all for now guys. Bubyezzz:D

Moving and results

We finally signed our lease for the new place last night, so everything's official, we're moving mid-month, and I'm super excited!

also: I'm seeing results from my gym class:

1) my arms actually have muscles! woot woot!

2) so do my legs. if I flex them, I can feel them more, it's awesome!

3) I can lift more!

next on my agenda, besides packing, is figuring out what to do with my youtube channel now that I've started doing stuff on it. I tried to make a video yesterday, then looked at it once I was ready to upload, and saw that my hair was freaking hideous, so...that failed...(yes, I care that much, it is that serious...to me...)

Eh, I'll figure things out later.

work is going ok, so far. school, obvz is going awesomely.

kk, eh, that's all for now!

snowy grocery shopping

kk, walking around in the snow = antonym of fun, but we went to get groceries this morning, and since grocery stores are within walking distance from our apartment, we decided to not be lazy bums about it, and we walked.

Everything went fine until we got to the sidewalk, and realized that no one had shoveled. We're not sure if it's apartment owners or the city that's supposed to take care of it, but they haven't all winter, so our boots were soaking by the time we got there and back. We got some awesome stuff - real food, this time! Only, I just got carrots for veggies since I didn't know what to do with cucumbers, onions, and the like, as I don't want to port soups around wherever I go. I'm notorious for spilling stuff (shhh!), and I can't have my technologies getting mucked up.

A couple of days ago, I put ...did I tell you guys this? well, I put kimchi in the dividers of my little lunchbox, or whatever, and I had honey powder in there already, so I thought "Oh, perfect, it keeps dry things separate, of COURSE it'll keep wet things out, too...I got to school and had wet honey powder. I got home and had kimchi flavored honey goo...

Well, workout class on wednesday was a BLAST. I was just sore thursday on my inner thighs and arms...and my boss said that's why I was walking funny (which I hadn't noticed until she said something, she calls it the "stank walk", she lifts, too, so she gets it sometimes, I guess). Actually, it still hurts to cross my legs, just using those muscles, but I LOVE it, well, k, that's a lie...I'm still a pain wuss, but I know it's for the greater good (if the greater good is me getting fit and looking bomb-diggity-awesome for the rest of my life)...aaanyway, back to bacon, which I need more of, we got home with enough time to do some cooking, eat, and hurry out, so now I'm at work in different boots, the ones my grandma bought me.

I've just been a busy li'l bee...well, now I"m off. I needed to wast time at the cafe before work because that relaxes me...

Have a great week, guys, and if you watch youtube, look out for my vids, I try and do at least one a week. 

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

Whoo, I'm back!

it has been so hard to find time for anything in the past week, other than work and eating. I'd say school, but I literally haven't had school for a week, so...nvm,
anyway, I do promise to put pics in my blog of the haul I did,

but I guess I'll just let you know how I"m doing for now, since my cam battery's about gone.

I'm doing much better, staying busy has helped a ton, also, vlogging has been fun. I mean, it only takes like 3-5 minutes to make it, but then I like to edit stuff, which so far only takes another couple of minutes, unless I decide to stitch clips together, which doesn't happen all that much, I guess.

I've been making bento boxes, too, for lunch. mostly I just put american foods in there, but I did a fusion one today...I ate it before  Icould take pics. all I know is that now, even with seperate compartments, the kimchi will ruin my honey powder, so I can't haz tea today. :( sadfaces

But I'm just doing the do, I even made a new work buddy, which was fun, I love making new buddies!

kk, that's all, bubyezzzzz^_^

mini haul pics later

Hey, guys. Since I started youtubeing, I haven't been blogging as much, well, there's been other reasons, but mainly youtubeing.

I don'twant to stop blogging just because I have a youtube. I used to follow a couple other bloggers who would instead of writing actual posts once they got a youtube channel, just post their videos onto their blogs as well, but not write anything. That was pretty annoying because either a) I didn't have enough internet on my phone to watch it, or b) I was expecting a written post and there was none.

So, I promise I'll be blogging more, and after next week, they won't be depressing (seriously, what's more depressing than losing two great grandma's in one week? That happened to me, and I don't want to revisit that, so we'll just be plowing along, k?). I'm just letting you all know that I won't stop blogging because I have an active youtube.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

boy am I ever awkward?

eyebrow scratch and all...

I made a vid and put it on youtube. Watch if you like onigiri, I guess.

Know who was awesome?

my gran. She was the flippin' bomb diggity, but I might've mentioned that in my last post. Well, it's true!

I remember walking to the stores with her all the time when I was little, as she was my main babysitter, and we always had a blast! When I was really little, I would pretend that I'd put my hand in the tv during g.i. joe, and she'd play along saying that she saw it in there. Those were some fun times.

As I grew up and she moved with my grandma, I'd always go to her room to hear her awesome stories, like how she ended up with a cute doctor after breaking her nose accidentally. Also fun times. I always had fun on my visits with her.

I wish there was room to post all of her stories in here, 'cuz I would. But time and space are limited.

rollercoaster of a week

This week has been such a rollercoaster for me. I mean, at first, it started out alright, I guess. I just felt like normal.
Then my mom called me first thing in the morning to tell me that my gran wasn't doing so hot, lost her will to live, and that she doesn't like my soon to be living arrangements. How many blows do you think I can take in five minutes? Someone's mastered low blows, and I don't know what the usage of that is...
anyway, then I go to work, kind of indifferent about life, but trying to play as though I'm actually having a lot of fun.

Then I'm at work, and I learn some disturbing things. Mainly, though, that one of my co workers, if she'd have seen me on the street in her neighborhood, she'd probably kill me in cold blood because of some black dude who held her up at gunpoint when she was twelve (another one held her mom up at the same time, I guess), so she grew up scared of black people, and she has a permit for her gun. All I've ever done is be black and understand spanish - all of this took place in English, though, right after she said "oh, no offense (to me)", and carried on with the story.

Well, the next day another co worker, after hearing me vent about it (I didn't use names) to another coworker, apologized to me on her behalf, and just that night, I was texting with another coworker who helped me not think much about it anymore. But it was really weird that I saw the girl who said that yesterday limping at work, so I asked if she was okay, I mean, I'm not the racist here, so I figure I can still be a decent person and ask, but she gave me a snotty look, so Idk...

well, I found out that my gran died hours ago, so...I'm not the happiest of campers, but Aiden has been entertaning me right well today. ^_^ So glad to have a great BF like him. :D

Why do you talk so funny?


I’m sure you’ve noticed how I say really weird stuff in my blogs like “a of all”, “hot to quite hot”, “insta____”, and a few other things, so I figured I’d explain them since reading my ghostpen post made me lolz and realize that yes, I really did say “lo and behold”.
The “a of all)” and “___to quite____” come from the radio station kdwb that I’ve listened to since elementary. Dave Ryan says these phrases frequently.
“instaanything” comes from a friend in school who mashes words together frequently. The rest, like any antiquated words/phrases are usually things I’ve been saying since forever ago. I also have a scholar cousin who keeps antiquated speech very much alive.
That’s really it lol.
(sorry, I typed this on wordpress's windows phone app (janky af).

ehh....might not be doing that again.

well, I learned an important lesson

I decided to hop the wordpress.org bandwagon officially - not leaving blogger, but having another place to blog, I suppose sort of as backup. I had thought of doing this a few months ago, but for some reason or another, I hadn't until recently (I have a wordpress.com now, but it's just where I'm importing my current posts.) - so I was all excited about making my own domain name when I found out that you could do it "free"...then I found out about their secure domain names through wordpress sponsored sites, so I looked into the three that wordpress offers, the first one, bluehost is the one I sided with.

Wrong move. I had to cancel my credit card because their "3.95/mo" ended up being a repeat 142.00 withdrawal from my account repeatedly.

Luckily, since this only happened yesterday, and I went to my bank first thing in the morning, they cancelled my card before anything could really happen, and they're shipping me a new one. Minor inconvenience, and I was late to class, but that's fine because now I know that my money is secure, and I'm probably never going to try and buy a domain name again...

So, I got to class, still sore from monday's session (I never really did my stretches that I meant to do on tuesday because of work...), and anything I had to do that involved my abs really hurt to do...I walked in, class was dark, and they were doing ab work...this was the antonym of fun for me (I do actually use that phrase a lot in real life..."antonym of fun", 'cuz I'm a nerd).

But I got to hang out with some friends, which was fun. I've been fiddling a lot with the internet, so I've got my about.me up now, I don't know why I didn't make one sooner. It was so simple. the only thing I don't like is that I've been trying to add my instagram and twitter for like 20 minutes, and I think it's not working... oh well.


that's all for now, guys. I hope we all have fun on superbowl Sunday. Anyone got plans?

Awesome class today!

I came in late, but worked hard, and that made up for it.

In other news, Aiden and I are getting ready to move within the next month, we of course have the place picked, we're just waiting for the date, and I couldn't be more excited!

I dragged him to school today so we could take care of some business later on, which we're gonna do in a few minutes, I'm just super excited about everything that's going on right now!

kk, I know it's a short post, but I'll post pics of things later. In the meantime, maybe you should check out my tumblr, 'cuz I normally do a bit more there, since I can be on it on my phone and not lose a post I just made lol. It's happened to me on blogger before, so i have to wait until I have a laptop with inernetz. :P

kk, bubyez guyz!

a funny thing happened on my way to work this morning

I tried eating fast food this morning, and my body was like "what is this filth you give me?! Take it away"... I don't mind much, since I changed my eating habits to like 60-70% healthy, but at this rate, if I were to go 90% and have a cheat day, I'd regret it. not going back though...iblike eating healthier foods, I feel great when I do. I just didn't expect to feel miserable eating fast food this morning. Its not like this is the first time I've had fast food in a long time, either, but I guess my body is finally saying that it wants better from me. Oh well. :D:D:D more good food from now on, I guess XD

weirdest encoutner EVERRRRR

Since my life's been pretty eventless, I found this to be strange to quite strange, indeed. But before I get to the randomness that was two nights ago, I have to tell you that I found a new way of applying my eyeliner, and it's completely fool proof! I love this new method SO much. Pics later (promise).

Sooo, anysnooch, couple days ago, i was working, and it was a stressful day anyway, the last day that I worked our outrageous sale (seriously, it was AMAZING). A co-worker who works in a different department than I do talked to me like I was an idiot instead of being civil (I saw her yesterday, and just the sight of me made her angry again, which is weird because a of all) I didn't do anything bad, b of all) I would have been civil to her if she had: a) stayed around (she literally came up to me, said things in a very rude voice and made sure to look all the way down her nose at me (neverminding that she's already like 6'5"....), turned around and walked off) , and b) not spoken to me like I was a complete buffoon, but karma, whatever, right?

So, I get off work, head to my bus, miss it by seconds, and wait for another. It's a sunday, so they're running slower than usual. I catch the next bus, and we have a bleeder. At first I thought nothing of it 'cuz people with nosebleeds tend to have tissues stuck up their noses to prevent their blood from getting all over. I half-noticed later that his tissues were out and there were splotches on his face and hands, but I was too busy playing videogames on my phone so I could forget about that rude girl at my job, and I was also contemplating how I'd interact with my coworkers later since they finally found out that I know spanish.

So, anyhousenwhosen, we're at the second stop - the airport, and the guy talks to the bus driver for a second, gets off the bus, and we wait. I figure he's getting more tissue, and go back to gaming. Then I realize we've been there for a while, and everyone who's getting on or off has already done so. Then I see the man heading back, so we pull up more to get him. I return to my phone, and realize that I'm going to miss the bus I wanted to catch, but no big, there's a bar, I can just head in and get like a sandwich or something.

So we get downtown, I've got an hour for the next bus, and I greet the bouncer, a random patron, and another random patron. I sit down, and the bartender asks what i want. I order a grilled cheese, and the dude I sit next to is all "put it on my tab" and I'm like extra confused at this point like who just pays for a random person's stuff at a bar? But anyway, the dude's like 45-50 or something, I thank him after making sure he's okay with paying for my food, and he also bought me a coke (but dont' take food or drinks from strangers, any of you lot. Hypocritical, I know.). I have an hour still (duh, this exchange took like seconds), so I decide there's no harm in talking to the guy. As it turns out, his son is my age, and a teacher in china, (he elected to teach abroad kind of like you can do in korea, if you teach english) his daughter has stolen is identity, he's infatuated with a lady from Louisiana, and he wants to go to the bahamas.

I've always enjoyed hearing other people's stories, so I pretty much just let him talk until it was time to catch my bus.

The next day, Aiden (don't think reading this is the first he heard of it, either. I told him as soon as he got home, and we had many laughs) and I walked around for an hour in -24 degree weather. I thought I lost my ID (only to find it today, funny story, one of my classmates who I met before class on the first day thinks I'm only in high school. You should have seen her face when I told her that I'm over 20.)

I have no desire to do that ever again.

I do, however have new goals:
1)Be the better person. In regards to that girl, next time I see her, flash a huge smile and just be polite. If she's rude to me, I'll politely let her know that I'm not to be walked over and treated like poop just because she hates her job (which is what it seems like for half of the people who have her job).
2) figure out when to/not to trust people. I've always had trouble with this one. Either I trust people and get hurt (around 85% of the time), or I trust no one, and seem like an angry introvert...I need to find the balance.
3) make more healthy meals
4) learn how to make a budget....yeah...never really learned...
5) eh...get more organized. I'm only organized on phones and computers. Don't give me paper or anything else...bad, I know.

Class was actually

 

awesome today!
we did a circuit training, and it included lifting! I’m so happy. we only have seven more sessions left, but I hope I can do more next week. if I don’t work next friday, I can come in and do a third day (my class is only mon/wed, but it’s better than nothing).
Also, I’ve been eating much better since my last wonderous trip to the grocery store.
I had the best ever yogurt parfait this morning (well, I was pretty full after the eggs I had. I tried to make a tostada with egg and salsa, but…that didn’t happen very well, so I had eggs and salsa.) My lunch was mediocre, but meat heavy, which I loved. I’ll finish my parfait when I get home, and then I get to make something with chicken for dinner. Oh, and maybe I’ll try to make a vinegrette for my salads, ‘cuz I have lettuce and cabbage now. I can toss in some carrots, celery and cucumber. Maybe hard boil an egg. ^_^

party pooping debbie downers

have you ever thought about the term party pooper? I'd rather not after typing that.


anyway, so many people are way the hell too negative, just last night I got talked down to at work for something that really wasn't too big of a deal, but that girl must have been having a bad day to begin with, but I left sooner than she did so it doesn't matter. But that's not what I wanna talk about.

I wanna talk about people who get sooooooooooooooooooo upset because something doesn't go their way. grow the hell up, no one gets what they want all of the time, oops, that's one new years resolution down...the swearing, well, I can fix that later, but anyway.

I'm seriously trying to stay positive, but there's always someone around who's talking about angry, upsetting things. They even turn holidays into poopfests because they can. Who gets joy out of that? No one. It's so much easier to be happy, at least, it's supposed to be, I think it's supposed to be, anyway. I'd like ti to be. one thing I really want is just somone who's always happy to just explode happy into my day, maybe not everyday, but most of them like, six days out of the week.

I'm just tired of feeling drianed by everyone's negative bullshit. I didn't ask for it, I don't want it, and I definitely don't need it. Especially when I've resolved to be happy. If you're pissed off because you feel like the world just shat on you (a of all) it probably didn't, b of all), find something else to do, like look at all the good shit you have going on. If you really can't find one thing...damn, dude...I dont' know what to tell you. but most people can find at least five things, and that really can be enough to make your day go by a bit better.) ...but don't bring that angsty crap around me. that shit should have died with your teenage years, but I guess some people never grow up.

anyway, if you even think about saying negative shit around me, just stfu because I'm sick of it. I hear it every day I cannot enunciate this enough EVERY DAY. Must I spell it? No, I dont' want to, that's too much work, I'm just gonna do some stretches, maybe a few sets of squats, and ...make my spongebob macaroni ^____________________________________________________^...or the madagascar lion one...it looked cooler hee heehee

anyway, sorry to down you all. I hope you all had a splendid mlk day, I had a great shopping trip, kk, tafn, bye bye til later. I wish I could post daily for y'all. maybe another time, but buhbyez for real, lovies. <3

I work out

well, it's a half week for school now.

I only get to use the gym on wednesday, but that's okay because holiday! WOOT WOOT!!!

I work on non-school days, which is great, 'cuz I like this schedule.

The only thing that really saddens me is that I don't get to work out more, also, we haven't been doing much in class, as I mentioned before. the first day was game day, after that, we just did testing to see where our bodies are at. we have another test in a month where we'll test our body fat again, but I don' tknow if much change can come by then. let's hope for the best though.

Another thing is that we're moving in march, I'm excited about it, really.

egh, I've hardly been posting and there's already not much news...but it's really weird to see customers so confused about the coffee shop. I'm sitting in here right now, and they don't know what to do with themselves, they just stared at it for a good half minute like "what? what's this? what do I do?" adorbz.

anyway, I guess that's all for now. I'll try to be more interesting in the future, and less sporadic....I hate not posting frequently...

As promised, albeit much delayed

Here's a picspam of my bday, someone voted for food pics, so here you go.

This is my baby sister, well, the youngest, anyway. ^_^ She made the pancakes. 

Remember the cake I mentioned in an earlier post? well, I meant to anyway. Here's the cake they took home from Grandma's. 

My other sister made the eggs. ^_^ Whoops, they were gone....

And they both helped with the hashbrowns (we remembered that day. they forgot them for a bit the day before)

Here's my other sister. I got it wrong before, she made the pancakes, youngster made the eggs. She made them special. ^_^

And let's not forget the bacon!
Birthday was fun. How could it not be when it started with a home-cooked meal? ^_^

pics n details up later

I promise pics and stuff up later. I've been so super busy lately with work and now school started.

I really like class so far, we haven't done any heavy lifting yet, which has me a little sad, but we have a good picture of where we are, and we'll be doing specific exercises now, which is good. I just hoep I can add squats and deadlifts.

but now I have to go 'cuz there's not that much time.

Birthday Trip!!!



Now that everyone’s awake, I’d like to type about my adventure so far. It’s been a really nice one, I even saw a really cute little red fox baby I think it was a baby, at least. I can’t tell. I’m in Mausden Wisconsin right now. It’s so warm here, not like in the forties or anything, but a helluva lot warmer than it was in mn.

It’s really peaceful out here on the road. I’ll post pics u soon. I’m on the megabus, and I’m in the front row on top. It almost looks like I’m the one driving, minus a steering wheel and stuff.

I finaly got a jumbo ass moon pie. They only  raised the price like 20 cents or something, I don’t even care. They’re like impossible to find back home. I just texted mom about that. You have no idea how awesome this feels. I thought I”d get nauseous being on top like I normally do, but that’s only when I sit on one of the side seats, I guess.
Unfortunately, there’s no working chargers, or I would have gotten to this sooner.
I got a visit from my stepdad recently, he drove me to the bus this morning. It as a nice visit, but very short, I had to wrork this weekend, otherwise I’d have hung out longer.
Well, anysnooch, there’s no outlets that work so I’m gonna shut’r down. That’s a bout it for part one, I’ll post a second one probably closer to Chicago or something. (Hopefully that bus inll have working outlets.)
My trip was pretty fun, really. Once I got home, we didn’t do much, but the next day was pretty full. I visited with my gran andgra dma (my gran is my great grandma, I normally call her gram, idky , just have since I was little I guess.) We got really good footage of her and our family history, I found out why I have my mom’s last name and not the same one as my grandma, which was c ool o learn, and last night (my birthday) I learned that once when I went to visit my cousin at school, I must’ve snuck off when I was supposed to be sitting in the back (I was three, do you really expect a three year old to sit still that long? ) Anyway, she found me sitting on some dude’s lap arguing abou the klingons and ferengis. Cool to know that my infoz were accurate, and she’s the one who started me and my mom on star trek, I always thought it was my mom.
For my birthday, my gramma let me choose whatever I wanted, so I got apair of comfy boots (that I can also wear to work, yay!), an underarmor-ish shirt for my classes next semester (four days! AAAGH!!!! I’m really excited though, I just didn’t realize how fast winter break went by!), and an arm band so I can work out with my ipod (which is basically new and doesn’t have the issues I always have with those freaking headphone jacks not working…I hate that!)
Anyway, before we went shopping, I was craving popeyes for the longest, so we went there, my other grandma bought me a cake and ice cream, funny story here, she had no idea that I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t eat the chocolate cake (always makes me feel sick after the first bite, where I can normally have a small piece of any other cake), and that I’m lactose intolerant. But my aunt who lives with her is too, so she gave me some dairy pills ^_^.
They felt bad about it, so I ate the chocolate flower on the cake at least, the kids took what they didn’t eat of the cake home with them, so it didn’t go to waste.
I set up skype for my gramma, and then we went homej. One of the nights we stayed up watching goodburger and fringe. Oh no! I left fringe!!!!! I hope Aiden isn’t too mad..I didn’t realize I left it, and I’m the one who wanted it so bad!!! Oh no…well, mom’s mailing me a book, maybe she can just throw it in, too. Poop, I wanted to watch the animated episode on the bus….Oh well.
Now I’m on my way back home, and I need to charge my lappy. The outlets are working now.  You have NO idea how happy I am about this. Well, earlier I posted that the outlets weren’t working on my last two busses, which was irritating, because instead of blogging and movie watching, I slept….and slept.

So much fun! Now, back to real life hee hee. ^_^

NewYearsandResolutiontime


I know it's late, but Happy New Years.
Let's jump right into it, eh?

Most people make resolutions every year, and I’ve never known if they’ve actually followed through all the time. I just know it’s generally assumed that we don’t see them through.
Recently, I was on tumblr, and I saw this pic that said “New years, The time when gym registration lines are longest” or something. It yielded one laugh in the comments, and a slew of hate, because I guess (this wasn’t’ my impression from it, but I’m a little slow on the uptake sometimes), it was to shame people who decide to have “getting fit” as their new years resolution, and join a gymto make it easier, since they generally don’t know where to start.
Then I realized that I don’t’ see a lot of noob shaming on tumblr or fitness blogs/fitblrs or wherever else, in all actuality, I typically see a lot of support, but everyone knows there’s a few bad apples everywhere who want to ruin it for the rest. They often forget that they started somewhere, too. Very few people go into a gym their first time knowing what to do, and even then, I’m sure pros have  been offered tips once in a while.

But that’s not what I’m on about today. I really just wanted to share some of my resolutions with you all before it’s actually time to post them. I guess there’s never really a “time” , as you can start resolving mid-year, but it’s just a thought.
My first: get fit the healthy way. Especially after reading how deadly shortcuts can be (or that after getting lipo your fat can just grow back in weird places, like you get it taken off your legs, but then it comes back on your arms…just…doesn’t sound pleasant to me…)
My second: build endurance. I’ve yet again surprised myself with how little I have.
Third: make my handwriting neater…I’ve made it better since last year, but there’s definitey room for improvement, especially at a faster pace. I often try to write as fast as I type. Not something I can do. I’ve been using computers since I was a tot.
4) improve my Korean and Spanish. I’m getting a head start on the Spanish.
5) Be more patient.  I often forget that just because I know something doesn’t mean others know it as well, so I’ll explain in English tha makes sense to me since I do it often and forget some details, then I invariably get exasperated when I’ve explained twice and the other party still doesn’t’ get it.  I’m not sure why this happens, but I am working o better myself with it, because this only results in two very frustrated individuals.
I also need to take better care of my insides. I’m lactose intolerant, there’s no reason that I shouldn’t be able to remember this next time I order a pizza. I’ve had pizza without cheese before, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I also can’t have pinapples, cooked or not. The irritation is less when they’re cooked, exponentially less, even. Doesn’t change the fact that my body rejects them in some way, so I should not partake in anything pineapple related.
Also, I’ve found out that when I’m just trying to be pleasantly helpful, I come off as sarcastic, or maybe those customers were just assholes, wait, no, those customers were just asswipes, nevermind. I know I’m damn pleasantly helpful when I’m trying to be helpful, but this brings me to my next resolution – cut the swearing. I know just about everyone does it, but I think I’m a bit excessive sometimes, which isn’t becoming.

Also, I'll stop complaining as much, there's a statistic out (they can be pretty bogus, but I"ll share anyway), well, it doen'st even really count by definition of statistics, but still, it's out there that people apparently complain 23 times a day. I don't count myself, but I know that I could complain less than I do. 

I think that’s all for now. There’s really so much going on again that I’ll be absent for a while. There’s literally two days a week where I don’t work, so they’re typically the days where I get my other necessary tasks done, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to blog on those days, either. Maybe I’ll be more regular when school starts up again. I’ll only have three classes, but I don’t know how many work hours yet. Hopefully a lot ^_^

busybee


 Egadz, have I ever been busy, guys. Running around with friends, also at work (I refuse to stand still, so it’s a good thing there’s a “no standing still” rule at my job.). It’s so big, buys. I wasn’t able to get pictures, ‘cuz I didn’t have anyone to take pics of me (sadface), but soon, you’ll see some stuff. I really want to get one of our hi-low skirts, they’re so cute, but Idk what I’d match it with, but I’m smRt, so I’ll figure it out.
I swear, with all the running around I do there ( I work roughly 6 hrs on work days, sometimes more, other times less, but the shifts are typically 6 hours, I think.) Well, anyway, I should have burned like a bazillion calories, lol. I hope so, anyway. But, I have other good news! I’m normally in one of the front sections, so even though I’m running around trying to find where clothes go in other sections, I’ve never not noticed that we do still have a sporty section! I can still have cute workout clothes next semester, guys! Hahahhahahhah
Oh, we also got a new housemate, somewhat temporarily, I think. Anyway, It’s been loads of fun having him around, did I tell you guys that I like videogames and that he brought some over? I swear, for the last few days, we’ve been playing tekken and sonic for many hours. I forgot how fun it was to be some of my favorite characters.

And some of our snow melted, making it easier to walk around (the ice is gone, too. I hate ice, unless iti’s in my drinks, otherwise, it can die. I don’t like cold things.

I’ve also used the sauna a few times. I like to deep condition my hair in there. It’s great, ‘cuz the heat gets all over evenly, instead of having to aim it a certain sections of my hair for a little while, then moving it. I’ve also noticed that my ends ahven’t been getting crispy. Ihaven’t ben using as much heat. I’ve noticed that cutting down definitely helps. I don’t flat iron as much, any more. In fact, I didn’t flat iron a couple times, and noticed that my hair was still holding up pretty well, and looking straight enough, even though I only ever wear buns, now.
But my semester is finally over. I’m so happy! No more stress for a while! Stress sucks booty! Hopefully your semesers are also almost over, too.
Now, I’m going to work on improving my fridge. I’ve bought celery, another pomegranate (they’re seriously SO tasty!), cucumber, ham, tortillas (the mini kind, I’m trying to ease carbs out of my diet, so I figure getting these, I won’t be eating actual bread, then I can cut these out…eventually. I know not all carbs are bad, but I want to see how well I can do without them for a while.)  I really do like fruits and veggies. I also really like meat. Mmm, meat! Oh, and I apparently still have some salmon, so I’ve got to figure out what I’m going to do with it.

One of my friends gave me insanity, I haven’t checked to see if they work, but I’ll see soon. I’ve wanted to try insanity for a while, so now that I have it, I can’t wait!

I guess that’s all for now. I’ll be apretty busy this week, so I’ll proably have more next week. You’ll probably get mini updates from my phone if I can, though.
