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. 

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.

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F1V4Hyr_LM&feature=youtu.be

Wrong order, lol...

I made my first video yesterday, about how I made onigiri (successfully) for the first time, but I’m still not sure I want to put it up online, first of all: The lighting still wasn’t enough (I might be able to take care of that before it goes up, like, edit it on my lappy), but then I got all exasperated ‘cuz on the second try, I actually got my onigiri on the camera 

Looks nummy, huh? 

Huh, that is a bit bright though.

(I misjudged how far I needed to aim it the first time)…there was a somewhat awkward delay where I have to start talking about seaweed, so I think I’m just going to try and make vids of other things first, and also…I’m going to use makeup, ‘cuz I didn’t have any on today, lol. All day long, which isn’t terribly unusual for me, but I like putting makeup on.

Anyway, I don’t know what I’m going to vlog about first, but now that I know my camera’s quality doesn’t suck the ass of majorness, I can confidently say that I don’t need to go out and buy a special one just for vlogging.

 I’m just gonna play with my …whatever a mac comes with for editing software, and see what I like about it, or what I don’t, then go from there. But I seriously need to cut down on the amount of crap I have in my camera. So many old pics when I need to be putting new ones in here, lol Most are from when I just began trying ulzzang style makeup.

Eh…That’s about it for now, I guess. I’m just trying to transfer the pics from my camera to my computer. Last I checked, there were like four more minutes of transferring left…started with eight, but it might be over.  I just deleted like 200 pics. There were far the hell too many.

So, back to vlogging: I know everyone starts somewhere, and I’ve wanted some of my blogs to be vlogs, (don’t worry, I won’t make you sit through what you’ve already read), and I thought a reaction vid would be great, ‘cuz I swear, me on the internet…I always find things that make my face look funny. Like I was looking at someone I’m subscribed to’s feed (about to see their uploads, ‘cuz I hadn’t watched in a while), and instead I saw the “bands make Minnie mouse twerk” vid…

Nuff said.

But then I think, maybe I shouldn’t vlog until I know what I want to vlog about, right? I’ve found people’s vlogs where they thought “Ooh, I”ll start vlogging on the tube of you, and all will be grand”, so I check out their vid, and find it’s the only one they’ve uploaded in half a year. …Among the things I find to be not cool; that definitely is. I mean, at least they gave it a shot, but I'm just saying -  I don’t want to be one of those. 

I also know that once you upload something, you’re not getting it back, so you have to make sure that you aren’t going to say -or do - anything you might eventually regret. That’s for anywhere in the internet, but especially vlogs because once people see it come out of your mouth, well, you already know.

There’s so much to consider, and yeah, I want to do it, ‘cuz I think it’d be fn, but…oh, I just have to go ahead and do it is all. But first, I want to have a solid idea of what I’m going to be uploading. Lots of people do makeup, makeup is nice. Others cook. I enjoy cooking. Others just talk. I like to talk. And vlogs are perfect, because unless there’s someone with you, it’s unlikely that you’ll get interrupted.

I’m gonna stop rambling now…

Kbye  ^________________________________________________________^

Cherry Smoothies

Today was so nice out that I had to try something new at one of my local coffee shops, so I got a cherry  smoothie (they had mango, and I wanted to mix them, but I figured, try it regular first, and then mix them).

I'm really happy that it's going to be warm for the weekend, 'cuz I work outside and I don't feel like freezing all day (again), and I know my coworkers won't want to freeze, either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i-y0G8nNA8
I was watching this video today because of another one (isn't that how it always goes with me, lol), and he mentioned "a bugaboo, like they used to call it". Not only was the video a fun blast from the past, but it was full of references that are no longer relevant, like, there's someone who always points out that you know a movie's old if the twin towers are still in it, but AOL? I never did know what MCI was, maybe it was regional? Idk, but pagers! XD

Anyway, I had a weird dream that I knew had something to do with Fringe, so I had to watch it again, this time while eating red vines. We tried to find the episode last night, but to no avail. It was the Marionette episode. Well, anyway, my question was answered.

So, back to Bugaboo, yesterday, I was looking around on the internet for B-gal style coords, and it was probably harder than it should have been, but I ran across baby shoop, and found out that apparently they've got black models, which is awesome! I think I learned things, but watching Destiny's child videos, and I'm also noticing (again) that I haven't got the makeup for it. Speaking of which, I found my  eye shadows, and two more of the colors got busteed...I seriously need to invest in some master palettes, but I don't know where to get them. I'd like to find palettes that don't have paraben (it's been hard, I found a nice coco butter lotion that I thought didn't have any until I read the label a second time, as I was checking it against another that had maybe one or two more...Idk. I just don't want to end up allergic like mom, so I figure avoid it if I can.)

But yes, I need a contouring powder, too. I think they come with highlighting powders, right? I really don't know, ulzzang style got me into makeup (elsewise, I'd still have pretty much never touched the stuff except for high school performances and maybe some clubbing), and after seeing the less extreme gyaru makeups, I like it, but if I look at the b-gal makeup I can't tell if it's contoured, even if I put a picture of it next to another...I think they don't, and I'm not sure one should have to, but that's mostly because I'm not heavy into gyaru...yet...I think...I'm not sure how far I'd dip into it, but I do know that I like the b-gal style, but I also like the cute style of amekaji (yes, I think it's a cute style).

I don't know, when I get things more figured out, I'll be able to tell better, I think. Meantime, I"m prepped up for a warm, busy weekend, and looking forward to ALL OF THE THINGS!!!!

<3 Hope you all have a nice weekend, too. ^_~ Buhbyez!

Silent laughing and serious debates small update I forgot about!

Well, I'm again watching some youtube, I searched for the tag #notaboutthatlife because of Scooter Magruder, who I'm subscribed to on youtube, 'cuz my boyfriend, *Aiden and I find him hilarious.

Having mentioned Aiden, I was watching this video when the vlogger said something about how videogames take the boyfriend's attenion away from her, and that's what prompted my post today. Technology does that to Aiden.

What I mean by that is, if I'm in front of technology and he's present but not participating with me, I'm sorry, I'm like a guy with a videogame. It would likely be worse if I actually were playing a videogame.  I do genuinely like to share my internet finds with him, but I guess that's just how I am. We have played a videogame together before, that was very fun. I hooked up the xbox and we played one of the Harry Potter games. If we could get more controllers and games, I think that would be fun for us to do at least once a week.

Well, on to the serious debates, Some of these youtubers make vlogging look like fun, I would do that, but I'm not terribly creative.I guess you don't have to be terribly creative, but I also don't have a decent webcam, well not for vlogging purposes, anyway. Not that I'd know what to vlog about, really. Well, It's not something I want to do in the immediate future, 'cuz I like typing, so this suits me well.

But I had another silent laughing attack at the bar last night. If you're friends with me on facebook or a twitter follower (since I've linked both of those accounts to my tumblr), you'll know why. I got stuck on the "lol-sotrue" tumblr page. The gifs are so funny! Anysnooch, I must've looked insane, but I don't care that much. I had fun.

But having mentioned facebook. I've seen some things on there related to politics, and since I'm normally on youtube, I like to watch soundly awake, who did this video this video, which I think was a good way to put it. The way I see voting is pretty similar: You don't like who's running, research things each side says that you agree with, vote for who you agree with more, if you truly don't know what's going on, just try to get involved in some way. If you don't think your vote will count, realize this: you are one of MANY who feel the same way, the whole lot of you not voting does NO good. If even half of you would vote, that would make a big diference.

On a lighter note, I'm glad I didn't use makeup today, 'cuz I always get a little itchy when I do, so it smudges. :(

I'm excited for bike shop work tomorrow, even if it's right afer we tear down at my morning job. It's good to have things you look forward to. I really like the small things, what about you lot?

Take some time to consider that, if you don't already, the little things you enjoy that make you happy every day. It adds up.

'Til next time ^_____^ <3

Oh, but one last thing I forgot to mention, since I just did it today: I found a crafty way of waving my hair up, kind of like beach waves. I didn't wear it out of the house, because it was just a trial - it worked, for sure, but also because I wanted to wear my piggy tails.
