All Things Pink...

So I'm kind of on a pink high now. Everything I buy nowadays is pink. If the product itself 'aint pink, the packaging is....I wonder if it means anything...do single girls tend to buy a lot of pink sh*t? What the fff is wrong with me? Hehehehe.

It's Laaaaaaaaaav!



L to R: Marie Claire Glamorous Rich Rouge, Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect, Orbis Moist Lip Essence, Lancome Juicy Tube, DHC Lip Cream, NYC Ultra Last Lip Wear, NARS Lip Lacquer

Swatches:

Left
top: NYC Ultra Last Lip Wear in Fragile Pink
bottom: NARS Lip Lacquer in 1903 (they use four-digit codes here, not names. WTF!)

Right
top: Marie Claire Glamorous Rich Rouge in BE64
middle: Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in Satin Pink
bottom: Lancome Juicy Tubes in Frozen Punch

Last but not least, Kose Moisture Mild Lotion-L (toner) and Moisture Mild Cream. They can be found at most drugstores in Tokyo for a thousand yen each (about USD $10). Both are alcohol-free and make my skin unbelievably SOFT! If you want a nice moisturizing base underneath your makeup, try this. It works on my combination/oily skin. It helped get rid of the dry patches yet didn't turn my face into an oil slick.

The cream is not really a cream per se....more like a lightweight gel. It sinks right in and doesn't leave a filmy residue like other moisturizers do. I've been using both for the last three weeks, and my skin is noticeably softer to the touch...and it stays that way the entire day after putting it on!


I hope y'all are having a great weekend...I'm actually staying in...on a Saturday night!!!!!!! I've been partying non-stop almost every weekend since Valentine's....I got off work this morning(freakin' two consecutive night shifts!), so I need some rest. I am itching for some ah-ah-ah-ah -ah-alcohooooool though....maybe I'll make a run to the convenience store by my station for some beer and chu-hi's.....alkie! LOL. I'll be back soon :)

Swap with Neeyuh-chan

Neeyuh is one awesome b*tch. We did a swap and she sent me hand-made hair flowers. No one ever gives me hand-made things anymore...I was touched :)
I received her box a few days ago, after a night of debauchery out in town. I came home hungover....thought I was going to pass out from alcohol poisoning (grow up, I know, I know...).
My day got so much better after I opened the box....PACKED with goodies...and love! These hair flowers are like nothing I've seen before....girl went out of her way to make me FIVE of them! How sweet is she? Mahalo, Neeyuh chan!



Byoootiful!

Neeyuh sent me snacks too...the pixie sticks and trail mix were gone in a few hours.....

Hi peepers! I have ONE question...

HOW DO YOU UPLOAD PICS TO BLOGGER SO THAT THEY'RE NOT SIDEWAYS???

All help appreciated! I have two posts in the making but my images keep uploading sideways. I don't want ya'll to have to turn your head to view my damn posts!!!!!

Aritgato~

Mucho luv,

Aya

Back to Bloggin'

OooooWeeeeeOooooWeeeeeeOooooooo!!!! I paid for my tickets today...I will be actin' an ASS in Cali and Texas in May! Wahoooo! My friend is gonna take me around, he has some fun stuff planned....of COURSE I'm meeting up with cutie pie Amanda.....so excited to meet hurrrrr.

I bouught a HP Mini 1000 yesterday. So far....it's alright. I can't edit pictures or open too many browsers at once....the CPU is Intel Atom, which I've read is by far less crapulous then it's predeccessor, Via C7-M....but it still needs a few tweaks here and there. There are only two USB ports....good enough for most. Sucky part? There's only one shared audio jack...So I would have to switch between headphones and mic...HP should have kept the mic and headphone jacks separate...dunno what they were thinking.

So what do I like so far? I do like the keyboard...it's ALMOST the size of a regular keyboard. Have you tried to type on the smaller netbooks? Like the one Sony makes? The keys are like f*cking tic-tacs...I'm not kidding. You'd need your baby cousin to type for you on them things. The touchpad is pretty cool, it's wide enough where you're not feeling crammed. The right and left click buttons are on the sides, which makes it very simple to use...basically I can use BOTH my thumbs effectively.

I can't wait to take this thing with me on my travels next month! Battery life is 2 to 3 hours at most. Ah well......hey...It's not a friggin laptop, ya know? I'm keeping my expectations veeerrryy modest...for now.

This is the one I got....
(all images taken from http://www.shopping.hp.com/mini/#)


...for about $480 USD. The candy-apple red Vivienne Tam one was HAAAWTTNESS but it was about $550 so being the cheapskate that I am, I opted for the uggo black swirly design. I dunno, maybe I should have gotten it.....eeeeps!Siiiiiigh...I dunno about you ladies and gents, but my gadgets don't need to drip in designer...I am NOT that vain....it's cool if YOU are though......which is why someone reading this post is gonna run out today and buy this beautiful toy and blog all about it and make me wanna deco-art my plain thing with plastic strawberries and rhinestones.....*snorts*

Anyway, I shall be back with a REVIEW soon.....on my true-blue choices of tinted moisturizers and foundation.

やったね☆

I'd like to thank Niya-chan and Penelope-chan for awarding me with the Kreativ Blogger Award...I'll post my response to the questions soon. I just wanted to let ya'll know that.....

I'm going to CALI in May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be near L.A. for a week from May 13, then hopefully Texas for a few days to visit my homegirl from HS. I went to the travel agency near work today, and my round-trip tickets will cost about $1200 including surcharge and tax. Not too bad!

Ffff me I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope I get meet some of you guys....
Aaaaaaaaah I'm so excited....I'm already making shopping lists in my head....and thinking of what I want to eat while I'm there...LOL.

TMI again?

Hi guys. I'm stuck at work. It's 5:37 a.m. I've been sitting here staring at my lappie and 5 monitors since 9-ish last night. I probably smell since I'm not wearing cotton socks. I did remember to wear deodorant though. Not interested? Told ya anyway.

So for those of you who still read me, here is another TMI post. I'm really thinking about buying a new Sony digicam because I'm itching to take awful close-ups of my left eye and post ten of them at once like I used to.

Who's ass did I kiss today?

No one. But I woke up at 4:30-ish p.m. so I didn't have enough daylight to find any butts to kiss.

What am I wearing? (From bottom --> up)

• Black ankle-length Minnetonkas
• Gray furry socks
• Dark Blue jeans from a brand called 26...or 27. Not sure, don't want to check the butt tag.
• The coolest white T-Shirt from Urban Outfitters that my middle sister got me for Christmas. It's got this cool design from the collar-area, it looks like light blue, purple, gray and black paint is dripping down to my belly.
• Black cardigan from Forever 21
• Black hoodie from Muji

What did I eat today?

• Lemon-y muffin made by my Mom
• Chinese Chin Jar La Su (I know I just f*cked up the spelling, but that's how it sounds when I pronounce it, okay. Sorr-ow, don't speak Mandarin/Cantonese.)
• Cup Noodle (so gross yet so yummy)

Who did I listen to on my iPod today?

• Alicia Keys - 'It's Alright'
• Jill Scott - 'Bedda at Home'
• Little Brother feat. Elzhi - 'Hiding Place' <-- Whatchu know about REAL Hip Hop? Not the sh*t playin' at the clubs...buy the Minstrel Show, you'll love it!!!!
  

What did I watch on YouTube today?

• More Jake & Amir!!!!!!!
• Ahanhbarbie babbling about Aveeno skin products. She has a very twangy accent, is that a Chi-town thing??? It's cool though...she's such a natural beauty!
• A whole bunch of Mos Def music videos. Trying to find songs off his next album, 'Estatic'.

Soooooo I'm thinking about taking a MUCH needed vacayshun to Califor-ni-yay in early or mid-May....I need the sun...I need the beach...I need cheap Mexican food. I need more tattoos...LOL.

I hope I'll get to meet some of you West Coast bloggers....Amanda, Kimberly Tia, Diana and Chiara (I know you live up north though...).

Ummmm.....and anyone and everyone else who would want to hang out :) I'm a pretty chill person who likes to crack politically incorrect jokes in inappropriate places....get drunk off martinis at lunch...and shop till I drop!

Laterooos :)

TMI?

Hi world.

I don't think too many people read my blog anymore. I keep telling myself I should just delete it so I won't feel guilty about not updating. Those of you who know me will know how to get a hold of me...

Noooo I'm not depressed or anything, I'm just B-U-S-Y...Like I barely have time to breathe/think/eat/sleep/poo/read/pick my nose/bite my nails/write stupid posts like this.
A few teams at work split and some merged...I remained on the team that ended up merging with another. I don't mind this at all. I do mind having to supervise 4~5 new FOB's every time I go to work though. On top of regular work like sorting through 500-plus e-mails, talking to managers, yelling at carriers and not eating lunch at a normal hour, I have to teach the ropes to new people. I am a horrible teacher, I would rather have someone else teach them the basic stuff, so I don't have to patiently hold everyone's hands while they make phone calls, open tickets, send e-mails. I tell myself in my head 'Be patient, smile, be patient, smile'.....

Any-effing-way, since I don't have any new pictures of myself to entertain you with, here is my TMI post....the who, what and WEAR...

Who's ass did I kiss today?

What did I eat today?

• Chinese soup with rice crackers.
• 2 Morinaga Choco Pies
• 2 Chocolate vanilla cookies
