When I’m Bored

I have these moments (one too many of them I say) where I’m absolutely bored and don’t feel like doing anything. It’s not like I have nothing to do. Oh no, I have readings for class, homework, exams to study for, update my blog, all sorts of good things, but I just get into one of those moments where I don’t feel like doing anything except laugh at (mostly stupid) jokes and things.

F*** My Life (FML)
This is one of my favorite new sites to visit. Most of the things written are pretty funny (if you’re the mean type like me who like to laugh at other people’s miseries), but I also read them to remind myself that there are worse things happening to other people, that I’m not alone. Shit happens. Seriously.

Today, I saw my ex-girlfriend across the street. I was walking with a girl whom I’d been hooking up with and wanted to make my ex-girlfriend jealous. I kissed her and she immediately smacked me. I got a “ha-ha” text message from my ex. FML

Today, I was passing a building and saw a fat, ugly person inside. I started to laugh and noticed it was my reflection. FML

FAIL Blog
Just a collection of humorous pictures, from the same blog network as LOL cats (I can has cheezburger?). I guess looking at photos and videos of other people/things/places failing makes me feel better. Wow, I never realized how pessimistic I was. I need to find some new hobbies and hang around more chirpy people.

My Mom is a Fob
I don’t think you’ll understand this fully unless you have fobby Asian parents. But even if you don’t, I suppose the stuff they say (or rather, capable of messing up on) is unbelievable. Visit My Dad is a Fob for even more fobby humor.

Just after my parents got married and my  mom had only been in the states about 2 years, they went to dinner with my dad’s co-worker and his wife. The check came and there was talk of who would pay the bill. My mom had just recently learned a new term and proudly announced, “LET’S ALL DOUCHE!!!”

I had been single for quite sometime so my mom confronted me about my credit card statement.
Mom: I saw your credit card statement and one entry had “Fall Out Boy” for $80.
Me: Yeah, so?
Mom: Are you calling gay sex hotline?
Me: What is wrong with you?!!! They are tickets for a concert!

Stila Beauty Haul

I first fell in love with Stila Cosmetics when I saw the gorgeous packaging in a catalog at the age of 9. However, it wasn’t until 11 years later when I purchased my first products from them, and ever since then, I’ve tried the following products, and the ones in bold are my HG makeup items:

• smudge pots in black
• lip glaze in guava
• brush #4 (eyeliner)
• jade blossom hair refreshner
  
• all over shimmer powder in cream (flakes too easily)

I took advantage of BeautyCrunch‘s super Stila sale + free shipping, and I just got my package today. I purchased:

• it gloss in inviting
• it gloss in sweet
• all over glow in peachy keen
• eyes and shine smudge pot trio
• get fabulous for fall set in chocolate (3 shadows, 1 blush, a necklace, lip glaze in grapefruit, and major lash mascara)
• golden glow set (sheer tinted moisturizer spf 15 in bronze, sun spf 15 bronzing powder, eye shadow trio in golden glow, convertible eye color dual shadow and liner in port, lip glaze in spiced rum, and fiber optics mascara)

All the above for just $51.75.  Apparently that’s over than $120-something in discounts! Unfortunately, the stupid UPS guys had to be all rough, and the luminizing powder for my all over glow in peachy keen cracked, and being too lazy to return it, I fixed it myself. To repair your cracked eyeshadow, blush, or pressed powder, all you need to do is add a couple drops of alcohol until the powder turns to paste. Then simply spread the paste back into the compact and let the alcohol evaporate. The result might look a little ugly, but it sure beats having to throw your favorite makeup away.

I’m not sure what I’ll do with all the makeup, but I’m definitely keeping the first 4 for myself. As for the 2 sets, I might give them away or um, be stingy and hoard it even though I already have way too much makeup.

My Valentine’s Day

Since everyone is posting about their Valentine’s Day, I figure I may as well hop on the bandwagon and join everyone else. I almost had to spend the day sleeping away at home because Jon and I got into a fight just the day before. I blame it on Friday the 13th and it’s bad luck getting to me, but who am I kidding, we just have such different lifestyles and values that these fights are inevitable.

But luckily, we made up in time for the 14th, hence I didn’t need to spend the day with my stuffed animals. He showed up at my place at 5pm with a bouquet of flowers and we spent an hour or so playing Super Smash on the Wii before heading out. He said he had planned everything out, and we’ll be heading to the mall first and then going to Olive Garden. I was a little skeptical, since last year when he told me he had “planned everything out”, we ended up driving around looking for restaurants and finally waiting for an hour before we could get seated. Not fun.

But this year, he insisted that he made reservations…his own way. I was a little confused and skeptical at first, until I found out what he did: He had a friend who owed him $20 get to Olive Garden at around 5:30pm to wait in line, and when the friend finally got seated, he would call us to go over. Um… Should I be happy that I didn’t have to wait, or be upset that he couldn’t be arsed to call and reserve in advance? Well, at least the food was good and it was a nice night overall, minus the whole reservation fiasco.

Unfortunately, I left my camera at school, hence no pictures I really liked the card I made for him, too. I do believe my arts-and-crafts skills are improving.
