Created it not too long ago. I wanted a side blog to keep track of my reviews, my stories, and my summary/two cents on dramas. Probably not going to update that one as often, not that I update this one often haha.
Can't tell you how hard it was for me to edit the layout LOL It's really simple right now and noob... but I'll live with it.. it's hard for me to learn how to code wordpress stuff x_x. So anyway, some photos to start off the post:
1) Saw that outside Shopper Drug Mart hahaha XD. I wonder who wrote it and if they know we're thinking about it this way. Either way, here's Fei's butt.
2) "Love Asian Girls > For their flat chests" HAHA =_=!!! Fei found that at a study carrel XD
I was trying to pretend to be making jajangmyun o_o hahaha. If only it was a video -starts whipping it-. That's a scarf at Urban Outfitters, btw HAHA. And... I don't know why my hand in the picture look like a mutant's hand o_O. I keep staring at it each time.. it's bugging me XD.
Sea Island Cotton Body Cream. Bought it cuz the hand cream at work ran out. People at work were trying to squeeze the last little drops of Victoria's Secret body lotion on their hands XD. A lot of people liked it. Some said it makes them nauseous. That made me sad haha. I thought this scent was pretty clean if you put just enough. I wonder if it's cuz they like to squeeze a whole bunch. Then again, B&BW's products are highly scented soooo :(
B&BW's Aromatherapy line - Mental Clarity/Clairvoyance & Stress Relief. I actually wanted to try this a long time ago but I was kinda broke but Felicia bought the one you use when you have a cold (?). At least I think that was the one. She used it and liked it so I wanted to try it out. Too bad B&BW has discontinued this. They still have aromatherapy items but these little roll-on sticks are no longer available. At least for us Canadians. Are they still available in US? Anywho, since they're no longer available it was lowered from $10 to $5. Saw these two left, which were exactly what I was looking for!! I actually like using the stress relief one before I sleep because I sometimes get stressed out about school and I like to smell it to calm down and actually be able to sleep :B. Do these things actually work? Maybe. Is it all just psychological? Maybe. But does it matter? As long as you feel like stress is disappearing, it's all good. Helps me sleep at night, is all I know :B So if you have a chance, maybe you might want to give it a try?


Went to Coach to get my hands on the new Tartan Poppy print wristlet but fell in love with this one instead. Next time, I have to go back for the new print's sneakers though BAHAHAHAHA <3<3<3

I just noticed the last time I updated a real entry that wasn't on friends-only was on October 20th o_o haha. (Wrote this before last entry :B) So I'm back with really old pictures. I've been lazy and used up my free time on watching dramas (1 more episode of My Fair Lady to go!!) and also playing La Tale.
Don't remember if I posted this up, but I didn't see it uploaded on my flickr so I'm taking it as a no haha. This is from a while ago now but yes. I did another group order with my friends (5 people in total, including me) and we had like 50-60 items in total hahaha. Yep. And of course, the mailman was way too lazy to do door delivery and just shoved the piece of "failed delivery" paper in my mailbox. -shakes fist at douchebag-. I'll post up a review for it some time. I haven't gotten the chance to try everything out because I bought 2 more cleansers, and I have like 3-4 I'm using right now lol XD. Although I might have to do another order soon because I'm out of my mask sheets and I want more :(

Went to the mall and bought a couple of things. We went to Aldo Accessories and we saw those geeky glasses that are in. We were supposed to do a dorky pose and Eileen just smiled =_=. Didn't know till Felicia showed it to me after we took it. Geez haha.
Bought a jacket and beanie from H&M. Jacket was pretty thin though so I didn't really get to wear it for long and now I have to put it away since the temperature took a dive haha. I really heart the beanies from H&M. It's so soft and it sits on my head just right. I bought one from zipia back then but it was really thick o_o. Looked rather weird on me.
Bought some hand soap 3/$15 (Leen bought the other one). Leen didn't really like the kitchen collection one =\ I think it smells awesome HAHA. It reminds me of how kitchens smell after baking or holiday stuff x_X mmmm.
Bought this with Leen too (3/$15 tooo). I heart minty lip glosses. And I like how this one is tinted. Haven't really tried it yet because I'm trying to finish off my Benefit one and my Lise Watier lip gloss :B.

Went into L'Occitane (which I didn't even know was in our mall haha!!) and the girl working there was so nice : ) Luckily, when we were there they had this special going on. They had Discovery Kits so we got to try them out for like $12.
L'Occitane's Immortelle Discovery Kit.
Includes: Immortelle Brightening Cleaning Foam. Immortelle Very Precious Cream, and Very Precious Eye Serum.
I cannot give this a real good review because of one thing. I bought this for my mom since it's geared towards people that are looking for anti-aging and brightening. My mom tried it.. POW allergic reaction. So I guess I'll give a warning to people who might have sensitive skin because neither my mom or I are allergic to anything in particular. I am not quite sure what's in the ingredients but my mom used everything in the kit and the next day she woke up with a bunch of red dots on her face. She had to quickly wash her face and put medication on it x_x. BIG NO NO!! Who wants to wake up with red dots all over their face?

L'Occitane's Almond-Apple Discovery Kit.
Includes: Almond Apple Cleansing Oil, Almond Apple Toning Cider, Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate.
Straight off the bat I have to say, I love this line XD. Every single thing.. that it included LOL! Okay, so I guess my face is combo because it's not exactly set on one. When I wake up in the morning my face feels like a layer of oil. When you actually look after I wash my face, it's actually rather dry (flaky skin =_=). If I wear makeup, not too long after my face is oily. Combo? I guess so. However, I think this line does a great job at keeping my face happy. I've never used a cleansing oil before because I thought it might clog up my skin even more. It's actually kept my face pretty clear in the duration that I used it. Since I don't wear that much makeup (I also wipe my face off with a cleansing cloth before washing my face of makeup) so I can't be a great judge at that, but it definitely makes my skin feel baby soft ♥ while cleaning off the grease and other dirties. I loveee the smell of this line. Apple scented things are awesome. I can't say the almond really affects the smell. I only notice apple haha. The cream is great too. Fat enough to keep your face just as soft as when you first wash of the oil, even softer <3. This line was recommended to Eileen and I since we have combo skin. DEFINITELY try it if your skin is also bipolar like mine :B

Note: the L'Occitane brand isn't exactly cheap. If you can afford the whole line I would go for it. But if you're looking for specific items I would totally recommend the cleansing oil. I would to get my hands on the cream too but at $58 (?) a jar.. I'll just stick to my SkinFood and Innisfree face cream for now x_x haha.

My grandma's cracking me up these days. Like yesterday she wanted help going on msn for video call. My uncle taught her but she said she forgot. It wasn't really her fault. She actually had everything opened. 'cept my family in China doesn't know how to press the damn accept button.. LOL. They always do that!! Every time we press it first and wait for them to press accept they leave it there. Only works when they send it and we press accept. They were doing that yesterday. My uncle only taught her how to send invitation too so both sides were just sending the invitation but neither of them accepted so you hear two sounds going on at the same time. The sound where it rings and you wait for them to accept and the one where they're waiting for us to accept.

When I came to help I pressed accept and before it was down loading they're on the phone like "It's not working! We don't see you!!" ...No duh!! Let it load!!! RAWR!! We did it like 5 times because wouldn't let it friggen load.

Finally it loaded so I left to go back upstairs and then you hear my grandma going like "... I don't see anything" On laptop's the webcam is attached so my uncle stuck a piece of folded paper on it so he doesn't have to always show his face. I was like -rolls eyes- .. had to run back down and move the piece of paper HAHA. I wanted faceplam myself right there.

Today she came up asking for eggs because she's making soup and wanted to add in two hard-boiled eggs and was looking for them in our fridge. She forgot where most things go in our kitchen because she's been in China for half a year. I was like "It's on your right hand side." I said it like 3 times and I thought her hearing was getting worse or something. Then after 3 times she finally turned around and started laughing... apparently she had a brain fart and kept thinking left hand is right hand.. I was wondering wth she was doing staring at the left hand side the whole time I was spazzing =_= HAHA. Oh grandma.. you kill me.

I was helping a friend out with her computer over MSN because she had a virus/malware/spyware situation. Seriously.. last time I helped Felicia with her uncle's computer over MSN and all I did was give her the site with the instructions and VIOLA! DONE!! I took 3 friggen hours helping my friend this time. Wanted to friggen bang my head into the wall. I told her to d/l AVG to do a virus scan and see how it goes. She had to argue with me because she said she had a Telus virus scanner.. dude.. did it work on helping you defend your computer before?! No, obviously not, that's why you're asking for help!! =_=!! Anyway finally after running the Telus virus scan (which did nothing, ha!!!) she asked me about AVG. She was like "...Do they have a website?" ..Go google it!! What day and age is this!? We google everything!!

But I was like okay, fine, whatever. Sometimes I have friends asking me for website, just in case, so they don't download the wrong thing. I went through all the steps. Go to the page, press download, press free. I sent her the page which was as straightforward as it could be. 2 minutes later she msged back asking if she should press the (and this is a direct quote) "Do I press the big, blue button that says Download Now?" ........................ No you press the button that looks like an X and go get professional help instead because I'm scared you'll ruin the computer... LOL jkjk.

Anyway.. It was then I remembered Connie saying that she has to help her with everything all the time (downloading music, yadda yadda) and I was like NOO What did I get myself intoooo. 3 hours later.. I had enough HAHA. Even Connie, her best friend, left to go take a shower.. I was left alone helping her HAHA. I couldn't take it no more so I stopped replying but she still kept asking me questions.. I had told her to download Spybot and do a scan.

You know when you download a program all you do is press 'next, next, next, okay..." she asked me about it... "What folder do I put it in?" ... Don't we all just press next.. unless you really want it to put it into a specific folder? =_=. "It asks to set a system restore point.. Do I click yes?" D: !!! Is this why you couldn't do a system restore like Connie asked?! Because you don't let it T_T!? Lastly.. "Do I click 'click to scan'?" LOL! I Was like Oh dear God..

Anyway, I think she gave up herself after those 3 hours. She asked me where she could go for professional help. I said "Maybe Geek Squad at Best Buy thought it's quite expensive though, I heard." "How expensive though?" .. I don't know! I never used it before!! I fix my computer/laptop myself!! LEARN WOMAN!! T_T Google it if you really want to know! Call them!! "Ughh it's already 1AM" Tell me about it.. Btw, this ended 5 hours later. You know why her computer messed up in the first place? She downloaded those stupid virus scanners from those ads that say you're infected. Ironic, isn't it?

My life right now is so full of facepalm/headdesk moments right now.

Note: I actually had another entry planned cuz I haven't blogged a public entry for a while. But this will do. I got lazy putting pics in the other entry HAHA.
