Ear piercing

So today I went to the mall (the one i usually go to), but actually on Saturday I went to the mall in Escondido, my first time in a long long time. I was really big ,and had a lot more stores than the usual mall i go to. There was so many more stores, I will definitely go there in the future, I'm not sure why i didnt go there sooner, I always thought it was complicated to go there, but the directions are easy.
Anyways so today, I spent more money than I should have, I went to forever21 bought a pair of jeans, a grey tank (really soft and cottony), and black shorts (dressy material similar to my brown ones), I got all of these for just under $20 before tax. Then I went to VS and tried to use my $10 off card, but they didn't let me use it on sale items, I bought a body spray, sexy little thing (I think that's what it's called), but next time I want to get the Very sexy body mist (red ver.) I came home and it just smells very good on my skin, but it took a while for it to smell good. Then I went to piercing pagoda to get my ears pierced. There wasn't much option for earrings if i wanted the free ear piercing (can only chose from selected ear studs), plus I only had $26 dollars, so I got a 3mm stud, grayish stainless steel color with cz, it cost almost $20 before tax. It hurt for a split second, but after it didn't feel sore and wasnt that red. I did a seasalt soak and that actually made my ears feel a bit of the pain, cuz before it was like nothing. But now it feels fine, hopefully it doesn't get an infection. If i can get by the week with no problem, then i'm sure after that i a clear from getting an infection, unless it gets tugged on or something. But yeah, I have to keep it in for 4-6 weeks, then I can changed the earring. And later in the future, I hope to get a cartilage piecing on my right ear, and then a tragus piercing (and possible another cartilage) on my left ear, but i gotta save up money ;)
Oh and no one at home knows I got my piericng today, cuz in the past i asked if i could, but they said no, it makes u look like a bad girl. But they have to understand, most people have two ear lobe piercings, it's common nowadays, so yeah I hid it so far (have hair down, and not wearing my first lobe piercings, but i usually dont anyways cuz they never close up).
But yeah that's it. Oh and last week, I recived my admission package to Fudan, so for sure I am going to do there summer program. Today I found out I dont need a physical exam, so yay!

Summer Break!

Ok i'm finally done with school, my first year at University is complete! I've been officially done with school since this Tuesday, now i just need to focus on studying Chinese, since I'm gonna study at the same school Andy is at right now, in July. I cant wait to go to Shanghai and go to the Expo, i didnt know it would be a big deal, but lots of people really want to go. I've gotten a lot done this week, such as laundry, organizing my clothes, going to recycle, and that's about it lol. But after this weekend i'll start studying my Chinese. Right now, i'm focused on watching my kdramas (currently they are: Dong yi, Cinderella's sister, Prosecutor princess, Personal taste, and A man called god). Lots of things has happened, like going to KMF 2010, driving to LA and 99, boy crush, new kpop boy band interests, fav anime show etc. It'll take too much time to wrtie about each one, but when i ever do feel bored i will ;)
ok that's it, gonna go shower, i've been taking early showers this week too! then later i'll watch more dramas, and maybe talk on skype hehe, so good to have a long awaited break.

Mario Badescu

Since I am on here, I thought I could update about Mario Badescu products I received. So I got my silver powder order lastweek, and have only used it twice. it's pretty good, it clears my pores around my t-zone area, except my nose still has some blackheads, like the deep ones, so I have to continue using it to see if it'll fix that problem. I could only use it once a week, cuz it's a bit drying for the skin and I have dry skin. I also received the gwp travel size things. I got the orange face cleanser, which I really love, it really cleans my face, gets rid of all the makeup and residue in one wash. I have tried the glycolic foaming cleanser and the enzyme cleasing gel but the orange cleanser really makes my face feel different, up to the morning I wake up, since I do the mario badescu routine at night and estee lauder routine in the morning. I also got the grapfruit lotion (toner) and it is a bit sticky feeling for a toner, and I'm not used to that, but I think it works well. So if my face stays how it is when I finish those two, i will definitely order them! The last item I got in the gwp was a body lotion, i think it was orange too, don't remember cuz I don't use it much since it smells weird and work ok, just a regular body lotion. And I got my little samples, my favorite is the whitening mask, it smells so good and I think it works, it does seem to fade the blemishes on my face, even though i used it twice. I will probably order that too, if I don't fine a better whitening face thing. So yeah, mario badescu products I have get a 9/10!

I Won!

Ok so I have been playing for the Samsung Behold II for more than 2 weeks. And today I won!!! I couldn't beleive it, I just randomly was doing my own thing and was ready to enter for the next hour, and it said I won. I have been jumping up and down, literally. Plus I told everyone at home I won, I just can't believe it! I have been trying different techniques such as entering at 59:59 or 1:00 or 0:03 and I won by just clicking at it randomly, I think at 13:xx. But I'm so happy I don't have to do this anymore, clicking every hour, since I got one now! I have been wanting a new phone by Samsung cuz I love Samsung phones (past one was samsung and the one I have now is samsung) plus I have been wanting a touch phone since everyone has one. I can't beleive I get one for free, this for retails at $400 (that's what samsung says), but at t-mobile (the service provider I have and the provider hosting this contest) it's $230. I can't beleive this, I first was just wanting to look for a new phone and went to tmobile.com but didn't see much options under samsung, color and style wise. Then I just decided to got to samsung's site and saw the sweepstakes and just entered it. Wow what a coincidence, that me wanting a new phone and trying to go on samsung's site to explore, but stumbled upon the ad and finally won it!
Well I'll wait at least 14 days for it to get here, and I'll post pics up! ;) I'm so happy, and jumpy right now!!!

Another order!

This is bad! I think, because I know I won't do any black friday shopping, I decided to do all these orders today, I must be unconsciously doing this. So my sasa free gift code was about to expire (by the end of this month) and I wanted to use it, cuz it's a surprise gift. I also been wanting the Laneige suncare lotion with spf 50, so I finally ordered it. Plus I have been wanting the mini Flower by Kenzo perfume, and they've been out of stock until a couple weeks ago, so I wanted to order these things before they go out of stock. So with $6 shipping, my total was $31.xx plus international fee which may be close to $2. So it'll be a total of $33 spent. No more spending for me, well at least no more online. I have been meaning to make another order on sasa to redeem the free gift, which I am not sure what it is, so I knew I would need to spend, just didn't think I would make two orders in one day. Well, I just spent $50+ and now I am broke, hopefully I don't overdraft, if they put extra charges or anything. But yeah, no more purchases until 2010!...online that is ;p

So that's what I ordered. I covered up the code, just in case it :x keke

Well that's it. Hope to have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving break so far

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, and we're not doing much, just a small bbq cuz the day after we have a wedding to go to. Yes, on black friday, I was thinking of going to the mall but I changed my mind since I am broke and wouldn't be able to buy anything, plus I would have to wake up at 5 am and that is too early for me, so i won't go this year. I really just wanted to buy jeans, but I don't think I can with only $3, yep that's all the cash I have...
Anyways, yesterday I went to do grocery shopping with g-ma and decided to buy some things to make korean kimchi pancake (kimchi buchimgae). It's really simple, ingredients are: flour, water, egg, kimchi, green onion, and salt. I made about enough for 10 of these pancakes. Some ended up undercooked or overcooked. Only 2 ended up nice. I made half a batch yesterday and today I finished it up. Here's a few pics, too bad I didn't get a pic of the good one, but I took these yesterday and the good ones, I made today. G-ma loves it!

The batter.

On the fry pan, gotta cook one side for 10 minutes, then flip it a cook until brown. This one isn't flipped yet.

This one is a little undercooked, but is also overcooked on the vegetables.

Today I got a package. My Missha Deluxe Sampler came! It was in a cute packege, and I must admit, the lipgloss was really small, but other than that, it was what I expected. Here's some pics:

I ripped it out of the packaged box. But the Missha packaging is nice!

The back says what is included. 5 samples!

Tada! The samples! I took it relative to my hand, just to get an idea how big it is. And you can see the lipgloss is tiny. It actually is able to be a cellphone keychain, I tried it, it taste and smells like perfume or some sort of air freshener, you get the idea, it had a fragrance to it, but not one you would want to taste in your mouth, at least not me. The color is a nice baby pinks and is shimmery, it is sheer though, and since I have dark lips, all you can see is the glossiness and shimmer. Haven't tried the other 3, I say 3 cuz I already tried the BB cream before. Can't wait to use them!

Also, I made an order on Mario Badescu, love the stuff, well this is from using the samples for about a week. I can see my freckles have faded a bit, and my pores on my cheeks are much smaller. Still need help with my nose and forehead, pores/ pimples.
And since they had this offer, where it ends today at midnight eastern time, you get 3 travel sized products at random, but are the popular products, with a travel kit bag, with any purchase, for free! So I couldn't let this offer pass since I really wanted to try more of their products.
I decided to buy the silver powder, cuz you get a lot for a low price, it only cost $12. One of the lower prices on their products. This product reduces blackheads and make pores smaller, and I need help on my nose. I have had blackheads on my nose since I started high school (5+ years ago) and it has never disappeared, it may have reduced at some times, but never been cleared. And all I can do is extract them but them leaves bruising and darkening on my nose, which is ugly, so hopefully this silver powder will make my several years of struggle with blackheads on my nose be gone.
So always with every purchase you can choose 3 samples, like the free little sample size you get from consulting, so I chose/; whitening mask- was going to buy this instead but a bit too much money for something I haven't tried yet so got a sample to see if it works, glycolic foam cleanser, and glycolic acid toner- these said it would reduce discoloration on face, and seems like it would get all the dirt of my face as well as make pores clean and smaller, without drying out the face.
Total was $16.95 cuz shipping with $4.95 which is really good, since some places I bought from have $6.95-$8.99 shipping.
That's it! Can't wait for my Mario Badescu order. Can't believe I'm getting 1 oz. Silver Powder, 3 free samples, and 3 travel sized samples in a travel kit, all for $16.95 shipped. Such a good deal, now I hope these products will work great for me!

The Mall

Today I went to the mall with the g-parents, I drove. Once we entered, there was loud music playing and then I saw they were doing a runway type setup, and it said america mall model search, but I didn't see anyone walk just a video of people walking the runway, anyways lots of people were just watching and listening to the mc, it was almost 3. Then I went to VS to redeem my two free panties card, yay! they had cute bags and wrapping paper, and I didn't even buy anything, love it! Then i went to macy's and g-ma and me looked at the shoes cuz she was looking for comfortable leather shoes with a small heel, like 1 inch, but all of them were hard leather and she wanted soft. Then we looked at dresses cuz I wanted to, since I knew it would be on sale since it's winter time, and they had a 50% off deal for almost all the dresses, also a few 80% off. Me and spent 20 minutes looking and she finally found one, that is such a pretty teal color, and nice "silk" like material. The cut was almost the same as the cream color dress i wore to wun lun jie's wedding, where it the top was like spaghetti/tank, 1 inch straps, straight back but v-neck at the front, and not too revealing which is what i want, not a fan of too much cleavage exposure. And the length goes past my knees, the bottom is where the front is short and the back is a little long, which is exactly like my cream dress, but they're not the same brand. Anyways that was $37.xx for me, original price was $69, but since it was 50%, that made it worth buying. I would not spend more that $50 on that type of dress. Oh and g-ma found that in the 80% off rack, but then we looked at the 50% off rack and saw the same dress then thought "wait, so it's 50% off, someone must have put it in the wrong rack" then I did a price check at it said $34.50, so such a shame. But g-ma said I could get it cuz it looked nice and I could wear it to the upcoming wedding next week. She only had $35 so i had to pay the rest but I only had $5, so if it were more than $40, we would be in trouble and can't pay for it. But good thing the tax wasn't too much! I am happy with the dress and I'm gonna show mommy and then try to get $37 back to give to g-ma $35 and me $2 lol. If mommy likes the dress she'll probably give the money, and I bet she'll like it!!
