rain rain go away!

the weather is total crapppppppp. weekend ruined...not that i had plans, i did want to get my haircut but my friend told me the wait for her...so i guess i can endure my bad hair days a little longer. i did go downtown yesterday (when it stopped raining) to purchase some ingredients for making sushi rolls...since Hotaru mentioned she was making them this weekend too.

so my plan is to start to eat less...i have exactly 6 months to lose some weight...my first goal is 5lbs. (i do wanna lose another 5lbs (total 10lbs) but let's work with 5lbs first)
i would say my so-called diet is just eating lighter and less...it's not much of a change.
this was my creation last night:before it was cut...
and after:my side dish: edamame!

so all that to the side...wanted to share a bit of my haul when i went to Buffalo with my sis-in-law, her sister (my age) and two of her other friends.

My Day Trip haul: We went to the Outlet there (which i wasn't too impressed but i did get my converse there) and Walden Galleria (where i got most of my haul from)~

black uggs: these are $235CAD here...i got them for $160US (CAD and USD are pretty much on par) had to wear them back...just in case of customs...so no box for these babies.


Converse from the Converse store! in purple...a seasonal color apparently...i hope i'll wear them...!

Jeans from Delia's (teenager store...but heck...i wanted to buy more (tshirts) but i already spent way too much time in this store trying on jeans while everyone waited for me...

the style is Morgan in the NYC (left) and Boston (right) wash. They fit quite nicely...for the fact that my calves are HUGE...so i think it helps straighten my legs a little bit. (just a little).

hmmm...unable to upload anymore images...will continue...on next post?

DRAMA 101

My NEW current obsession: Personal Taste/Preference


It's very cute! I see a little bit of her in myself. (just a little) haha.

Also, currently watching Oh! My Lady


Love this poster of the drama! it's so cute!

anyways, I never got around to posting my gmarket haul...and it's kinda late...now that i put a lot of my winter stuff away cuz it's getting warmer. I did buy stuff from other stores but didn't take any pics cuz I got busy and lost track of blogging.

Will start over better...hopefully.

*sigh

"a mistake is only a mistake if it cannot be fixed"
"the greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one"
"mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience"
"making mistakes simply means you are learning faster"

just some quotes from various people to make myself feel better and inspire me a little. i had a really crappy week at work and made mistakes. i promise myself that i will try not to ever let it happen again.

DRAMA CRAZY!

my current craze: Stars Falling from the Sky/Wish Upon the Stars/Pick the Stars



this drama is too cute. just a random rant. got a few more gmarket items...will post pics soon!

long time no blog...

ok. i promised to blog...it's been too long. but life has been somewhat busy and i've been lazy...i'm being totally honest. i had the last 3 days off...cuz i did 12hr shifts over the weekend and it was hell. thank god i worked with a friend/coworker which made life a little better.

so on to my gmarket...like i promised! i did a little more gmarketing after this one...

ok. let's start!


one of my favourite items in this order. this navy handbag. it's very good quality! the lining inside is very nice...i did pay a bit more for this bag...$30-35US but it's all worth it and it is quite large in size.


armwarmers...these ones are like the one GoMiNam wore in the kdrama "You're Beautiful"

the same one as the red one i got previously in purple. LOVE IT. but i think i still like my red one better

Etude House eyeliner...i'm quite disappointed...it's quite very light black when put on...i guess if you're going for a lighter makeup look...

PK008 pink...pretty...it reminded me of the lip colors worn by Eugene from kdrama: Creating Destiny...so i got this color.


haven't tried this yet...maybe i'll get back to it.


ok. this mascara, i tried and i love it. it makes my lashes appear very thick and long...it's a very good price and i think it's a good alternative to the high def Lancome one i use...


second day using this body wash. LOVE it. makes my skin sooooooo smooth after. looking forward to using the lotions after i'm done my lotion...these Happy Bath lotions are recommended by Lotuspalace.

will get back to these...haven't used them yet...

Jacket i got in Khaki...love it as well. this one is actually one of nicer jackets i got from gmarket...the other ones i got...they're nice but either too big or lose a lot of fur.

can't forget my Tonymoly pore clear range! update you guys about the essence after!

cute slippers eh? i love cats!

top i got..i wanted it in blue but they were out of stock...so i got the grey. i want strut this look! i wish i was tall with long legs like that though!

trench coat in navy LOVE IT. can't wait to wear it when it gets warmer.

actual pictures...credit to Hotaru. this order is the biggest order i made with Hotaru and some of friends. it's HUGE. thanks to Hotaru for putting it all together!


EVERYTHING. i also got two pairs of black leggings. they're thick and perfect for this cold weather...and some loose tank tops for layering...

closer look...at the smaller things...samples/freebies and whatnot

will be back soon...

thanks for reading!

Random Rant

so...i'm on my night shift at work so i thought i drop by and saying something...my random rant.

i've ordered a few things off ebay and they haven't gotten around to coming yet! i also ordered a bra from aerie by american eagle...and it's nowhere in sight. i've yet to pick my gmarket haul from Hotaru...(thanks to work...this 8 day stretch is longer than i thought).

looking forward to resting and going out watching a movie and dinner with Hotaru and maybe one or two gathering with friends. really wanna see my nephew and niece. my nephew probably forgot who i am...maybe i can bribe him with ice cream and he'll remember...maybe...

i really need some "me" time. i need to take care of myself (ie. my skin) after these horrid night shifts. this is my 6th one. one more to go! then i'm doing one more evening shift and get two days of rest! gotta do a lot of masks and scrubs and everything to save myself...at least look more human again.

so today (well yesterday) i finished watching Creating Destiny...i actually smiled at the end of the drama. usually i feel sad when a drama is over even if it's a happy ending. but to me, this drama ended at ep23 and whatever came later was just more "drama"

i was happy with the ending. one situation did make me cry but i know it was for the best of the situation. i love this drama. it was so full of fun and cuteness.

i'm a little skeptical on the drama though. the respect they show for the elderly in the family may seem too overexaggerate? or maybe i'm in the western culture and it's WAY different. yes we respect the old people in our family but the whole permission to do this and that...maybe carrying it too far...at least for present day. nonetheless it was such a good drama. in the back of my mind i wish our culture was somewhat like that...so i can get a little more respect for being older...at least something good comes out of being older.

but in family outing...they emphasize respect for the elderly as well. i guess it's big in Korean culture which is nice.

anyways, that's it for now.

to be continue: gmarket haul...

Tonymoly's Pore Clear Cream

i wanted to blog about this last time...i won't say i'm doing a review on this product...but i just want to share that i'm loving it and what i love about it.

and that is...PORE CLEAR CREAM by Tonymoly!


i love it to bits...
before i got this cream...i had lotsa problems with clogged pores on my cheeks...whether it was makeup residue or just acne...i couldn't get rid of it. i normally do a double cleansing using Laneige multicleanser and Erkena's Pore tightening foam cleanser but still i have clogged pores...

after using this cream...my skin has been clear...and doing a lot better from scars.

This is what the cream looks like...

it's water-based-like and it spreads really nicely. it's very light on the skin.

you can purchase it on Gmarket for a mere 8000 won (about 7US dollars) for 50ml...not bad for such a good cream! i bought another one recently along with the essence from this line...

thanks for reading...
will soon blog more about my Gmarket order!
