Merry Christmas & Happy Boxing day!



I worked this Xmas...but 1.5 pay. so it's okay. i would work all the holidays if i could. keke.

so this morning (yesterday morning now) i opened my one and only gift from my brother& sis-in-law (my family doesn't really celebrate Xmas and this year, since i have a job it was my turn to get my family gifts.)

here's the gift:
Bold colors! perfect for work and bummy casual days.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas...and all are welcoming the 2010!

on a side note, my current obsession:

CREATING DESTINY
it's so cute and romantic. i'm really enjoying this drama!~
this is the MV for one of the songs in the OST. i know whoever is watching this drama is anticipating for these Australia scenes! i think it's soon!

a promise is a promise

so i promised to hotaru that i'll blog once i get my hands on the sorels boots that i need for the winter.

i spent this weekend at my brother's place since it was my niece one month old celebration...although we didn't have a big banquet or anything. we had a really nice family dinner. nonetheless, i had a very lazy weekend that consist of going to walmart, T&T and Grant's supermarket for random things and ice cream.

here are some of the things i bought since i last blogged...and of course more to come but that's for the next blog. (Xmas is in 5 days...i'm working...so not exactly celebrating...but it's the most festive season of the year!)


here are the Randy flats i got from Coach...they were marked incorrectly for 99 dollars...so i got them for that price!


so the other day...my computer was attacked by viruses...so i thought better to be safe than sorry...i got myself this portable mini harddrive...it's super cute!

and here they are! i finally got my hands on these. i ordered them through the BROWNS/B2 website cuz every store i've been to were out of sizes. they arrived on friday when i was at my brother's...they'll be good for the cold bitter winter...now i dont have to worry about getting my shoes wet...cuz usually i wear uggs and those stress me out every winter cuz they get ruined.

NEXT: to be continued...

Gmarket

ok. so i've had two orders in the past month and a half...or so.

this one i am going to post about came in a gynormous box, i didn't expect it to be this big either...
it was an order combine with stuff for myself, hotaru and another friend of ours. there wasn't many items but i guess they were just big...

i don't have pictures of them taken by my camera since i lent my camera to a friend at that point. so images are taken from Gmarket...

my red beanie! i love this beanie to bits...more than the other ones i bought from Gmarket...reason why is that this one seem to hold onto my head a bit more than the other ones.

boots...i love these~ i've gotten really cute fake uggs from this seller...too bad they don't ship internationally anymore...they're really comfy and light weight.

my brown cardigan...it looks pretty much like the wilfred one i was eyeing at Aritzia. just a whole lot cheaper.my jacket in black...i was hoping something a little thinner but this is nice too...good for the fall weather. nice quality for its price! i guess i'll get a thinner one when spring rolls around...!


SNP spot cream! it came with a lot of samples and cotton and a little scrub thing. this spot cream is some good stuff. it makes my pimples shrink the next day! it was a good deal...i got two of everything for less than 20US...compare to buying it here...it's 25CAD for just the tube. gave the other set of stuff to hotaru...i hope she makes good use of it. although she doesn't even have pimples!
this anticipated item! (inspired by Go Mi Nam in You're Beautiful) circular scarf. i didn't get it in grey tho. mine is this purple-ish lavender color. it's like grey and purple combined...something like that. and i absolutely love it. it's soft and thick enough to keep me warm and most importantly it's not heavy. LOVE IT. BUY ONE! i am going to get more...i just need to restrain myself from gmarketing for December. can't afford it...at the moment.
my reversible vest! love this item too! although it's hard for me to wear vests cuz i always think it's not warm enough but i love this! i will wear it more often...but now that it's cold...hmmmm. i wore it once tho! and another reason for my red beanie. keke. <3
Etude house lip tint! love this item too. i got the orange (2nd from the left) and the pink (last from the left) i haven't tried the orange yet but the pink makes my lips a little lighter which i like cuz i find my lips are a bit too red. i find that you have to use a lip concealer to really bring out the color. that's my opinion anyways. you can't see it if you just put it on your lip.
the gloss for the pink one is very sparkly. it's very cute. i'll update on the orange one next time.

so only eight items. i wish i got more. but for some reason this order was more satisfying than the last.

i know i will make another order soon...(as soon as i recover from this one) and my Xmas shopping. haha.

it's been awhile...

it's been awhile...goodness...I don't know if i should say I've been busy or lazy but anyways...I've been working a lot and during my days off, I've been catching up with friends and family.

anyways...there's been purchases in the last two weeks or so...there's quite a few images so I will probably make a separate post for it.

let's just start out with some old stuff.
This is my winter jacket for the next few years (although doesn't mean I won't buy more jackets keke)
The Community brand jacket from Aritzia which I already see a million other girls wear it. but heck, I owned a TNA jacket...which even more girls have. I really like this jacket and the fur on the hood attracted me...i dont know why.

This is actually my latest purchase...PJ pants from Bluenotes, it was their buy one get one free! so i just had to buy them! i love the quilted pattern ones....i've been eyeing them for awhile, just didn't buy them til there was a deal. In fact, i am wearing them now!

Underwear from Aeries, the forest green one is just adorable with the little frills! and the other stars one just reminds me of the kdrama "you're beautiful". Now i can associate stars with that drama. TOO CUTE!

Dinner I had with Hotaru the other day...at Sunrise Restaurant at downtown Ktown...it is a new restaurant (newly owned, i suppose) and we decided to give it a try...

the appetitzers! it was yummy! jap-chae, spicy cucumber, bean sprouts, seaweed, kimchi, and potatoes.


my dish: kimchi fried rice with beef in a stone pot. it was good except it was too hot (temperature-wise) took me forever to eat it.

the seafood pancake with rice cake. this was okay...maybe i would've prefered if it had more kimchi...did it have kimchi at all? maybe i'll try the kimchi one next time...
Lastly, hotaru's dish: Kimchi stew with pork and dumplings. i think this was probably the best out of everything we ordered (i loved the appetitzers too). the stew is very tasty.

In conclusion, would I go back to this restaurant? YES! next time, i'll get the stew for myself and my hair and clothes didn't smell after...which is GREAT! it's a very cute restaurant!

on a side note: one thing about table-cooking restaurants is that my clothes and hair will smell after...and i dont like that...Sunrise restaurant isn't a table cooking restaurant like Seoul Restaurant...i dont think...

maybe it'll be our new place to go to...at least we'll have another option! keke.

another outing...

did some Xmas shopping today! (with my mom)

i got the Boscia eye cream! encouraged by Hotaru...(i picked one up for her too since it was the Sephora's VIB 20% off deal)

i hope it does what it says it does!
i also picked up some armwarmers from Ardene's...3 for $10 dollars! good deal! (inspired by kdrama: You're Beautiful. My latest obssession!)

and my navy blue TNA hoodie! what i've been waiting for!!! except this one is a little lighter than the navy i originally wanted...but good enough!

sorry no pics cuz i lent my camera to my friend...

the Xmas shopping: i picked up some clothes from Children's Place for joshy and joely, sweats from Old Navy for Dad and my uncle...which they liked! Thank God!

on a side note: tried the Tonymoly Triple Expert BB cream. kinda like it...damn these sample tactics work!

money well spent...

i just placed another order on Gmarket...although i wanted to recover from the last order but the last order just wasn't satisfying!

i'm actually really excited for this order...a lot of winter fashion! i love!

hopefully pics will be up soon...when i get the order.
or maybe hotaru will do a collage for me?

counting the days til i get the order...

just watched episode 11 of "You're Beautiful" after placing the order. haha.

it's so gooooooood. i wonder what will happen next!

There's more...

Birthday Eve

I wanted to make a separate post for this just because it is my last day being 23.

I celebrated with Hotaru...we went to Yorkdale Mall

Watched "Where the Wild Things Are" the movie....was okaaaaay. There wasn't a plot so i don't even know what to say about it.

We went to Holt Renfrew to check out the Tsumori Chisato x Shu Uemura limited edition makeup pouch but it wasn't on sale! you have to buy $165 dollars worth of products at the counter. BOOO!

Then we went for dinner! at Sorabol Sushi...one of my favourite places. too bad they didn't have black bean noodles!

Spicy Tuna Salad (it was soooo yummy):

Our Sashimi/Sushi platter:

We head to Cafe Princess after. I absolutely love the atmosphere there!!Menu Cover:
Our order "Snow White" it was lacking a "biscuit" but it's massive!My birthday gift! A Fossil watch and lotsa candy/chocolates! Thanks Hotaru!


Thanks for everything! 23 ended perfectly~

Celebration~~~

I got my results on the 16th of October...it's happy news! Some of us went to Congee Wong that night to celebrate and then Destiny for drinks after. We were all so relieved!

so there were some things I needed to get cuz now I'm officially full-time.

soooo...the next day (October 17) some of us girls decided to go to Fairview Mall to shop for some clothes for convocation...it was an absolute failure. In the end, we came out empty handed...I bought shoes for convocation but today (which was convocation day: October 24) I decided to not wear them and return them...so I'm not going to bother posting a picture of those shoes.

Dinner we had that night at Gal Sushi!


Dessert...Deep fried milk custard! My love...and it makes me happy whenever I eat it. The place is somewhere at FMP...

The next day (October 18) I went shopping with my mom...since it was such a failure yesterday...

Shoes I got for work...they're totally not my type of shoes but if you're on your feet all day and sprinting to get your job done...these will have to do. I bought them from SportsChek...for buy 1 get 2nd 50% off...

My mavi jeans! i absolutely love these and they're on sale too...the once in a blue moon sale at Jean Machine. it was 25% off. i was going to get another pair but the guy at the cash made me mad...so i just picked up one pair.

Dinner with Hotaru (October 21) at Seoul restaurant at Ktown...and I got a haircut at Maya...it was a little shorter than what I intended to get...but it'll grow back...slowly.
The ELF mini haul I got from her: cuticle pen, blush brush, under eye concealer & highlighter, eye palette: Drama & Matte Mauve, nail polish: plum

Some snacks I bought:

the 2% drink has Big Bang on it...so i just had to get oneeeeeee! yes I'm a loserrrrrr. I got the one with Daesung! <3

October 22: Pickle Barrel after a tough day at work...we went there, ate and vented about work and everything else...jumbo club sandwich for me and we shared the 6 sampler dessert...delicious!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

I am thankful for everything up to now...although I may not show it, I am thankful for every minute and everyone around me.

THANK YOU!

Last night, went to Ray's house for a friends get together! Fun fun fun! aka. Our Thanksgiving dinner!

Ray and Janis made food...it was great!
main course: chicken leg, carrots + potato on the side...plus lasagna which i don't have a pic...
veggies! janis got them at her school? it's organic! the squash is super yummy!
janis' cranberry sauce from scratch! so good with the chicken + veggies!

There was also crepes at the end...made by the cooking crew...with strawberries, bananas, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and cookies n' cream ice cream. pic will be up as soon as i can connect my other memory card to the computer...

it was a very fun night playing UNO and of course watching scary movies, it never fails...we watched the Grudge: Kuroi Shoujo...(then i found there's another Grudge movie Shiroi Roujo) well, we watched it in simplied chinese subtitles...which most of us can't read...(movie in japanese) and it was lagging at all the scary parts...very funny! (the movie didn't make any sense in the end to us...not that those movies make a lot of sense in the first place...)
then we watched APT, a korean scary movie...scarrrrrry. 9:56pm will forever have a new meaning.

Friday (that just passed...) went to Demetres with tw, jp, xl, and karen. my treat since i got paid.
i made my own...with nutello chip ice cream, bananas, caramello sauce, brownies with a waffle! so goooood. no pic tho...i should've taken one! next time...
went to FMP and picked up a Laneige set...cuz i don't like the etude house toner...i only meant to pick up toner...but since there was this set...

the basic care set...with power essential toner and waterbank essence and some little samples of pretty much the same stuff...

First weekend off. feels so good but so tired at the same time...don't wanna go back...

tomomi's day

Day 4 - (no Day 3...)

Day 2's outing. Journey it was! (with hotaru) started out with lunch at Rahier cafe/bakery place. sandwich was so delicious! the bread is definitely really yummy which made the sandwich really good. the cake we got for dessert...Gauguin(?) i think it's called something like that. it's light and not as sweet...not artificial either. really good~~~!

very pretty~~~

then onto fairview mall...didn't get much...

i was kinda upset at Forever21's service there...bought two things on the F21 website...i wanted to know if i can exchange it at the store even though i probably wouldn't...but no one knew the answer...and when i finally asked someone...they said they probably won't do it for me "today" cuz it was too busy...it's ALWAYS busy there...so they'll never do it for me. TERRIBLE service. i wonder if the downtown location would be better...(aerie didn't have their thursday gift there either! this never happened at the eaton centre...conclusion: fairview sucks!)

the tshirt, i love very much. it has some random words printed on the front. the dress is the heritage 1981 line of theirs...it's a little thin...strapless but it's really cute...i don't know what to wear over it though...since it is strapless...i wanted to see if exchanging for something else is possible...but it seems f21's service isn't the greatest...and i do like it. i guess i'll keep it.

then to jtown...new century plaza...pacific mall...

the pimple cream i got from new century plaza and blush from pacific mall...coffret d'or (OR-22)
i tried the blush...i really like it!
although i kinda wish it wasn't as shimmery...and more matte...

had some yummy sushi for dinner at Sapporo Sushi at yonge/finch...but no pics. i devoured the food before i had a chance to take pics of it...oops...next time!

that's all for today!
