Shady Business.

This weekend I will be going down to San Diego and I'm pretty stoked! I anticipate to have oodles of fun, as a friend native to the area will be showing me around to all of the hot spots. Hopefully I can come across some stellar thrift shops.

Almost, But Not Quite.

(Shirt + Jeans: Hellz Bellz, Shoes: Vans, Watch: G-Shock)

Hmm, I really like these jeans because they're moderately baggy and make me feel like a boy. Additionally, I love the zippers on the pockets and other detailing put into the making of these jeans (such as that on the front thigh area); Makes me feel like my money was well spent.
(p.s. I promise I don't wear Hellz Bellz every day. ^_-)


Anywho, so last night I went to a roller-rink and attempted to roller-skate. Never again.

Haha.

Shopping Comfortably.

I think one of my favorite things ever has to be online shopping. I buy something via the internet atleast twice a month. Being able to get the best deals available while remaining in the comfort of my home is quite impressive. I also love being able to track the current location of my package wherever it is in the nation (or ever so often, the world) as I anticipate its arrival.

I suppose even better than online shopping is receiving a knock on the door and being greeted by Mr. (sometimes Ms.) FedEx/DHL/UPS/US Postal service man with package in hand awaiting my retrieval. That seriously makes my day. It's like a bi-monthly Christmas.

Latest package to receive brought me these babies:










Cheap Monday Bondage V Fit Jeans.

PRETTTTY badass.

Infomercial Gone Right.

As I strolled through Target today, shopping for unnecessary things that will inevitably further complicate my life, I spotted this:




Usually, I'm rather skeptical of infomercial products that I've seen on TV because either they are poorly made, deceptive, or simply do not work at all. However, the product above was merely $10 dollars, so I decided to take a chance and purchase it.

Let's just say I'm a happy camper; it ACTUALLY works. This product appeals to practically every woman alive. Bra straps peaking (or should I say hanging) out of tanks and other sleeveless tops is simply sloppy and unacceptable. This product works to pull the straps in the back of your bra together creating a bra-strapless illusion.
(Just make sure you loosen the straps prior to applying the clip thingy as instructed)


Whoo! Now we can wear all those racerback tops without worrying about straps slutifying the top.

Tranformers 2.

Don't you just hate when your mates over hype something
that doesn't even need that much hyping in the first place?

______________________

Anywho, after all of the rave reviews I had received from a load of
people regarding this movie, I went with my friend and saw it for myself.

The synopsis:

1. Way too long.
2. Way too much computer graphics and not enough acting.
It must be kind of awkward filming the majority of a movie with imaginary objects.

3. Megan Fox looked gorgeous of course, practically barbie-ish.
As did that other crazy blonde-haired chick.

4. Why am I just now realizing that Shia Labeouf is ridiculously goodlooking?
I'm so late it's gross.
Age has really done wonders for him.

Overall it was a good movie. Go see it if you haven't yet.

Blue Bellz.

As summer school continues, this math class of mine does not seem to be getting any easier.

I need a bloody tutor.

p.s. My sister auditioned and got into the UC Berkeley Summer Symphony!

In other news, I have begun learning German!
My sister is helping me, as she herself is already familiar with the language. As of now, I am just trying to grasp the fundamentals of the language. Though not an easy task, I cannot wait until I can at least speak basic German.

Go me!

Shit Luck.

When feeling down in the dumps, rest assured that there is someone worse off than you.



"Today, I took the bus to work and a sweet old lady got on after me and sat next to me. Halfway to work, she fell asleep and her head was on my shoulder. Trying to be nice, I gently tried to wake her up before my stop came. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML"

“Today, I got my drivers license suspended until I am 18 for driving without a license. Where was I driving to? My last day of Drivers Ed. The high school where I take Drivers Ed. classes at is across the street from my house. I gave up 3 years of driving to drive 100 feet. FML”

"Today, I was helping a couple come up with a name for the baby they just had. I suggested "Joshua" thinking that it was an okay name. All sudden, the room got quiet. Turns out I had forgotten that Joshua was the name of their 3 year old son who had died a couple months before. FML"

"Today, I went on a date with a guy for the first time. We went to Starbucks and got coffee. We talked for awhile, and we were joking and having a good time. Suddenly, he put his hand on my stomach and said, "soon, this will be plump with my seed." FML"

"Today, my first girlfriend of over 3 years left me for another guy. She said she's looking for someone who can financially provide for her in the future. The dude owns a T-Mobile kiosk. I'm going to medical school. FML"

"Today, my daughter asked me when was the first time I had sex. After I told her 22 she quickly shouted, "Beat ya!" She's thirteen. FML"




You're not alone.

Indecisiveness.

I have this problem where I cannot decide for the life of me whether I like my hair straight or curly.

Now see, each style has its own positives and negatives.

With straight hair, I appear sophisticated, more "womanly." However, this style requires me to re-straighten my hair nearly every morning because it must be bone straight. This can be quite a strenuous process in addition to being very time consuming.

On the other hand, curly hair is more fun and immediately sets me apart from other people where ever I go. It is in a sense a physical display of my uniqueness. Despite this, with this style I feel as though some people assume I'm some "I'm black and I'm proud" chick, which I find very annoying (though there is nothing wrong with this if it is your personal style).

An aside on my curly hair:

With my hair currently being curly, my mother has been hounding me in regards to this. What's wrong with my hair I ask? It's stylin' (lol), is it not? To this she replied that its current state is "unfitting," "a bloody mess," and that she "does not want me to be seen at work like this."

Hmm, what lovely comments to profess to your daughter. –_–

In all honesty, I don't see what the big fuss is all about. I mean sure, it's a bit wild and untamed (okay, alot) but that's the style I was going for. Frequently, people speak kind words in regards to my hair (awkwardly, a lot of people just stare also). I've yet to hear anyone tell me that they hated it, that is except my own mother!

–––––––––––––––––––

But anywho, with that being said, what shall it be?

Straight and sophisticated, or Curly and wild?

Social Etiquette.

(Follow Haute & TRASHED with bloglovin´)

Not too long ago, a good friend of mine informed me of a recent incident that had occured at a party she attended. While conversing with a male friend of hers, a very angered, jealous female saw them together, stormed past and with great fury proceeded to yell, "LET'S GO! WE'RE LEAVING!" at the man my friend was talking to (the crazy female just so happened to be his means of transportation. But mind you, the two are not a couple).

To be honest, from how my friend went about acting out the scene via video iCHAT, to say this woman was "yelling" does not even begin to accurately describe her emotional outburst. More of, a scream, cry, and shout, all impressively combined into one crazed outburst. Her voice was even heard by many OVER THE LOUD music being played at the party.

Now I understand that most of us are no where near famous (at least on a large scale), nor do we possess a high social position or stature, but I believe that it is necessary at all times to uphold your public image regardless of who you are, your background, etc. How this woman proceeded to act out in a public setting was completely unacceptable. To address a situation in that manner is reserved only for emergency affairs, such as when your life and existence depend on your next decision, or––––well that's it, only in life and death situations.

Acting out as this deranged woman did that evening has profoundly tainted her public reputation. To restore her image seems improbable as the damage done will prove to be beyond repair. In a sense, she has committed the worst of all crimes–––social suicide.



The video shown below is a great example of bad social etiquette, how not to act in public.




Although I haven't the slighest clue as to what she is yelling, one of the comments posted on this video from youtube explain that she is "demanding shark-fin soup." She cannot comprehend how it is possible to run out of fish given the close proximity of the ocean. Because of this, she feels as though the owner is deceiving her.


Now why on earth would you throw a temper tantrum for such a trivial item? This woman even went as far as to fall to the ground and flail her limbs about like a 5 year old child. If not for the language barrier, I'd tell her myself how foolish she looks.

Pull yourself together woman.
