gone missing and tag

Sorry for not blogging lately. I've been trying to get as many hours at work as possible before school starts and when I'm not working I'm relaxing and reading or out--which leaves very little time for blogging. I find that when I don't consume myself with makeup blogs, I spend less and that's what my wallet needs right now. I'm starting to realize that it's quite ridiculous to have ten or more different shades of purples. I love it, but it's just not practical for a girl of my age who is buried in school loans.

Anyways, I was tagged by the very cute Puff [click here!!]

Cute award!! The Meme award :]


Rules of acceptance:
1. Acknowledge the person who sent you the award.
2. Nominate 7 other blogs.
3. Share your 7 personality traits so we can know you better.

I tag whoever because I'm just lazy right now :p

My SEVEN traits so you can know me better :] I tried to think of new ones aside from the other tags I've done :p
1. I am quite the jealous person. As much as I hate to admit, I get jealous--maybe not as easily as others, but it does happen. I may not show it easily at first but it will eat me away little by little, piece by piece, until I eventually complain about it to someone else :p I can't help it. I am self-conscience like others and jealousy is just one of the things I can't get rid of as much as I hate it.
2. I worry about my weight. I like being petite and being as skinny as a stick. I don't care if it may look unhealthy, because when I wear the skin hugging little dresses, it looks good to me. I'm almost 5'4 ft. and before going into high school I weighed about 95 pounds, maybe a little less. After I started playing sports I gained so much muscle weight and I developed really thick thighs. I hated it, because I had to buy jeans that fit my thighs moreso my waist, which made shopping for jeans a million times more harder than it already was. After high school I finally lost all that muscle weight and the dead fat that came from it and I weigh about 100 now. If I get past 105 I freak out and stop eating snacks after midnight.
3. I have amazing metabolism. It takes a lot of work to gain weight past 105, so eating a lot of snacks past midnight takes a lot for me to even get to that point. I get my metabolism from my mom--she's a junk food junkie and she stays up super late and snacks a lot. She's 5'7 ft. and she's really skinny. Before she had my sister and me, she weighed 102 pounds!! I envy her supermodel legs and skinny bod!
4. I am a night owl. I function better at late hours, I eat more in the wee hours of the night, and I just like staying up late and sleeping in late. I don't like the sun much, so night time is when I come out and play.
5. I am a hopeless romantic [even if my boyfriend is not]. I am a very affectionate person, and when I care about someone deeply, I am not afraid to show it. I believe in true love and soul mates and everything in between. I love random calls saying how much he misses me, or random texts wishing me a great day at work. It makes me feel loved and warm :]
6. I keep a written journal. I may not keep it up to date as much as this one, but I pour my feelings out into it, especially when things get crazy and I feel like jumping off a cliff.
7. I can't cook for the life of me. I'm scared of anything that involves frying or boiling; I don't know why. But I love to bake. I guess I will just have to live off of cupcakes and brownies for the rest of my life.

There's my tag, and I hope you enjoyed it!! I probably won't be updating as much, just because I'm trying to catch up on summer reading [yes, I am a nerd]. School will be starting in a little more than a month and I want to try to squeeze as many non-school books in there as much as possible!! If I haul [I think it might be a Laneige haul because I want to get the freebie bag at the Amore near me], I'll let you know. Until then, happy blogging!

j-town

On Saturday, Andy and I took a lil trip to downtown Lil Tokyo. The beauty of living 20 mins from l.a. tee hee :]

Me, being Andy's guinea pig. I was told to "sit there, stand there, look there." grrr.
Andy being a stalker with his huge, long lens.

I love me some salmon onigiri! Picked up a few mags from Kinokuniya too :]
Isn't Eki's bow cute? :]

My look:
I finally tested out Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mascara. I bought it purely because of the cute packaging, and wasn't expecting too much since it's not waterproof but my gosh...this is just as good as my Dior Iconic Mascara! It thickens AND lengthens quite nicely and for a DRUGSTORE brand too! What more could a girl want? It held my curl and this sits pretty high on my list now :]
On my eyes: Benefit Skinny Jeans, Dior light grey shadow and darker grey shimmer [holiday 2008 palette]. MAC blacktrack fluidline.
Lips: Paul & Joe summer 003 summer gloss
Cheeks: Milani Luminous and MAC Light Flush

I love this mascara!! My lashes look nice :]
