On Saturday






(in no order of preference)

Joanne, Julie.H, Kathy, Mandy - Thanks for making the trip all the from Toronto to Loo. I love the eyeshadows. Haven't seen you for so long! I missed you guys so much, and had a good amount of catching up! Kathy, you're awesome at "blowing", if you know what I mean ; ).

Andrea, Steph - Going out of your way to come up to Waterloo to see me during the day, even though you can't make it to the party at night. You guys even lied to your parents and stole the car to get to Loo! Thanks for the dinner and the anti-eyebag gel. I really needed it! LOL

Annabelle, Liying - You are the best bitches ever lol. haha, forcing that random guy to buy me a drink on my birthday LMAO. And protecting me from randoms. Thanks for coming out and keeping it live. And also for the cake hahaha...
Ben, Christian, Jaja - You guys are so jokes... I'm assuming it's your idea, to put "gangstar gangstar" on the cake -_-. I know you guys especially Jaja and Ben have a lot of work to do this weekend and you still came to both days! Much love! And Christian for coming out both nights even though he had a big hang over from the previous night from challenging me and Annabelle in a drinking match. LOL you've learned your lesson.

Nelson - Thanks for coming both nights! And all the drinks and pizzas you got me and my bitches... You didn't have to! You spent way too much that night. I owe you big time!

Jackie, Julie.Q, Sarah.C, Shirley, Nayema - Yeah my party girls! Thanks for coming on Friday night Nayema, Sarah, and Jackie. I feel so bad that Shirley couldn't come in because those stupid bouncers wouldn't take health card as an I.D.! I wish you were there that night. But hey, Shirley you came out on Sat night! Julie my homie, my roomie of course you gotta come both nights and thanks for arranging your fitness plan just for me : ).

Andrew.Z, Jeff.B, Kai, Michael, Ray - You guys are amazing! I can't believe you guys walked all the way from Conestoga mall to Keatsway and Fisherhall-man to make it to my party! That's freaking crazy! I would've died!! Thank you Andrew and Jeff for the song! I am speechless... although I don't agree about the Korean boys, and hating on Dan. You guys have done your research and found it from an unreliable source -JAJA PAN!



Richard - Thanks for making it to my party, and giving everyone a lift home. I really honestly appreciate it! I hope you had fun at the party.

Sammy, Garon - Last but certainly NOT LEAST. Thanks for hosting on Saturday and making the crazy-ass event description. The decorations were hilarious! I'm disapointed that you couldn't make it in the end Garon, but thanks for planning.



Part of Sammy's decoration... That didn't happen at all, neither of two nights. Trust me.

I break everything : (

  • Cd player - back when Cd players were popular. I used my expensive $200 ultra thin Sony cd player for 3 months and it broke. It just wouldn't turn on one day... I still don't know why!
  • 1st Cell phone - I had the Samsung P207, I lost it within the first month. Well technically some bitch stole it from my locker at work. Well it's my fault that I lost my lock and didn't bother to replace one on time. I didn't wanna tell my mom so I bought the same model for around $350, without contract. Nowadays this phone is worthless. I drop it at least 3 times a day but it was such a durable phone! I even dropped it in the toilet (unused) once and it still survived!
  • Cameras - No camera has lasted longer than 2 years with me. I broke 2 of my Canon cameras already. One time because I dropped it and the lense won't contract anymore. The 2nd time I was taking pictures while tipsy and a friend knocked my hand and then I dropped it, so technically not my fault.
  • iPod nano - 1st time I think I washed in the washing machine accidently, by the way the earphones worked so they are waterproof. It was still in warranty so I replaced it. The 2nd time it just wouldn't turn on one day and it was after the warrantee *shrugs. My dog also bit my earphones, though they still work you can see the wiring and the buds have teeth marks all over.
  • iPhone - I drop my iPhone around 2 times a week. That's why I buy expensive protective cases for it. I don't know why but since yesterday my phone batteries dies in 4hrs and it's mostly left on idle that time, with a few texts and a couple of short calls.
  • External hard drive ='( - I have my whole life more than 20gb of photos and everything on my computer in there. I reformatted my computer and while transferring files back to my computer the usb cable was too short and when I leaned back with my laptop, the external dropped 2 ft off the ground from the desk and ended its life. FML!! I'm pretty sure I lost my receipt for the warrantee
  • Laptop - The arrow key fell off, the fan broke, the charger wire has slit marks from getting sliced by the edges of my lamp in rez, plus my screen has a slight almost unnoticeable desaturation of colour in one small spot on the screen. This was all within first year of use. I guess I was pretty rough with my laptop. Send it in repairs and just got back now, only to find that the factory broke my SD card reader, while fixing the laptop. It doesn't read SD cards anymore. I guess I'll send it back in there again after exams.

I know there's more but I'll update later. I feel like crying now because I just broke my external hard drive with EVERYTHING on there! Somethings money just can't buy back, like those photos since 2003 - my prom moments, my sister's baby pictures, my vacation times, my highschool life. I learn to be more careful with my things, the hard way.

Sometimes...

I realize that sometimes I tend to say things with out thinking. For most part I don't mean to say it to be offensive and I'm just joking but I realize that it may hurt people. I can be quite straightforward and I don't tend to go around a circle to get to the point, I'm still trying to improve. Please don't be offended if you are.

Just a little sorry in advance and sorry for before.

Shopaholic much?: Haul and Mini Review

I've been so poor the last couple months, I was down to like $30 in my bank account! I couldn't help it, once I got my OSAP, I went crazy shopping! Gosh I spend so much money on make up, and I just know it... I probably wouldn't use it too. bleh couldn't control myself! I'm such a bargain hunter.... all the sales just couldn't help it.. plus I was shopping deprived for a couple months!

Here's my $180 make up haul in the last month and a mini review!:

*From left to right*:

The Body Shop: Great sale in their roseflower collection 3 items for $15! I'm such a sucker for packaging! I love it. I bought from Toronto Eatons and Kitchener Fairview Mall.

Lipsticks: shade 02: honey, roseflower shades 02: true pink and 01: soft pink.

Roseflower blush shade: pink - beads of powder on top, when I swirl my brush on, not exactly great quality.

Roseflower Radiance stick shade: 01 - I was going to use it as a cheek highlight but it smells bad and it has next to no pigment and random glitter bits, it's a no.
Sparkle eyeliner: silver

Drugstore: Random white eyeliner from Rimmel... Lost mine had to replace it. The pencil is kind of hard and not that pigmented. So sometimes I light the tip over a lighter for 3 seconds to soften it before I apply on my eyes.

Adorned with Grace Minerals: Free shipping to all Canadian orders!! How great is that? I got 2 stippling brushes from there, since I heard some good reviews. I got a big and a small one together for close to $20. What a deal! At Mac, similar brushes would be $45 and $50! It did shed with the first wash, after that, it didn't seem to shed anymore, and it's so soft! They also packaged it really nice. Most likely ordering again for their samples. 2 thumbs up!

Mac: They had 25% off everything on their online store plus free shipping for orders over $75! I almost never buy things from Mac because it's so expensive, so this sale was my opportunity to splurge on the things I've been eyeing for a while!

Penultimate Eye liner: It fades a bit in 5hrs or so, not really water proof as it claims. I like it that it's good for travel compared to my Mac fluidline. It's not a harsh dark black and it creates a very fine line, which is more natural than the fluidline.

Powder Blush
shade: Style - Nice coral colour with slight gold frost. I love the colour only to realize I have a similar blush colour! It's similar to All Smilse from Everyday Minerals but EM is matte not frosty.

Studio Finish Concealer
shade: NC30 - I haven't used it yet. Heard many great reviews, and I needed a new replacement, since my Vincent Longo concealer is almost finished.

Fix+Rose
: Pretty disapointed. I heard many raves about this mineralize water. But at the end of the day I spent $20 on a small bottle of water to spray on my face. It didn't really do anything for me, might as well spray normal water over my face. The scent was okay, didn't love it or hate it. I didn't notice it prolonging my make up. But then again, I don't wear much make up.

Grand Duo Mineralize Blush
shade: Earth to Earth. I was really torn about getting this or the shade Hot Planet, but settle for this hoping to get a nice summer glow and the great reviews from Makeupalley, but was slightly disapointed. It wasn't pigmented enough for me. The highlight side didn't show up when used alone on my NC30 skin. I guess you can mix the two shades but still I wish it was a bit darker and pigmented. Maybe I should've got Light over Dark instead.

Smashbox: I got a double sided liner and eyebrow brush and gel liner online from ebay for I think it was $25usd. What a great deal I thought since the brush alone retails for $30 around, and then the gel liner retails for around $20. But then when I got my package, I think I've been scammed! I think it might be fake! It didn't come with a box because it was from a set that included the brush and eyeliner. The brush looks okay, but the jar of gel liner feels like cheap packaging. Can someone confirm if it's real? I guess I'll update when I go to a Smashbox counter to compare.

Here is a size comparison to a quarter and my Mac Fluidline on the left.

That's just the make up, I've also spent around $350 on clothes -_-. Gonna go back to my shopping drought now!
