some time off of homework.

holy cow it is HOT. omg. it's not even summer yet and i'm here in my damn bra and panties sweating up a storm.

GLOBAL WARMING IS BAKING ME UP!!

anyone who knows me know that heat gets me crabby. i'll feel awfully bad for the people (busko) who will have to put up with my heat induced mood swings.

not only that, but when it's hot i get sleepy for some reason. like i missed my math class earlier and took a 3 hour nap instead. how weird is that?

ughhhh. summer is going to be realllll hot this year and ACK, i live in the desert land that is the av! it's okay. i'll burrow with the rabbits in the cool undergrounds of the hot dry sand and dirt.

oh god, those fucking toads are going to come out soon. what the hell is up with those? they're like stray cats in an alley way, but toads! you seriously will have like 10 of them on your walk way during the summer time and let me tell you, they are scary when you're not expecting them

wth are toads doing in the desert? crazy ass toads. go back to your swamps.

fresh prince of belair reruns..

keep me entertained when there is nothing else to watch.

i am so tired. have i been whining about that often? i feel like i have, but it's true. it's so true.

i don't think i'm going to do any homework tonight. although, i should.

UGH. i just guilted myself into doing some homework.

purple eyeshadow look from my wales palette. sidekick phone so didn't get much color. ditched the horizontal bangs too. i've just been pushing my bangs to the side and working my hair line that way as well. i never got to grow to love my other bangs.

ohhh yess, that is purple eyeshadow on my bottom lash line. i used a mixing medium to really get it to stick. i finally got to making my own. i don't know if i've mentioned that, but it was 3 parts water to 1 part glycerin. stored it in a water bottle, poured what i needed in the cap making sure to shake well before and went to town. makes everything look so much more pigmented.

p.s

since you are not using any preservatives, obviously, make your batches in teaspoon amounts and throw out left overs after 2 to 3 weeks.

Chyeahhh.

what a pleasant day today came out to be!

first, the in-laws took achilles out to a baptism so i had the whole morning and afternoon to myself. i was able to catch up on some school work and most importantly, rest! hahaha.

then, when they dropped achilles off he was all ready for a nap so i put him down and got to some much needed tidying up. nothing like a clean room to max and relax in.

when busko got home from work we decided to head on to the baptism after party. there was a jumping house and achilles had a ball! it reminded me of super mario everytime jumped. i swear i was there watching him while making super mario sound effects. HAHAHA.

now i'm home getting some laundry done. i've got a good 2 weeks worth of laundry. and between me, busko, and achilles, that is A LOT. i don't know how the two of them can go through so much clothes. well okay, i can understand achilles since it's me always changing his clothes. hahaha. but i can seriously wear the same pair of pants for a whole week. yeah, i'm NASTEH.

my dog has random bald spots that are beginning to worry me. end.

tomorrow will be a lazy sunday. that's how i like my sundays to be though, chilllll. i'm just going to go to the laundermat to get all these clothes dried and i'm going to pull a couch potato. eh, no shame in that.

dude. semester is almost over. can you believe that?? it's over on the 30th of may. wowwwzer. seriously went by with a quickness. i'll have a few weeks of vacation before i start my summer classes.

well, yeah i'm taking summer classes. do you want me to be in community college forever?

i know i know. how can i ever part with my beloved dr. rainbow?? but he'd understand. he'd probably like me to pursue higher education so as to have more axon terminals and nuerons in my brain and shit.

ahhhhh. now i'm jamming out to some mika. relaaxxxx take itttt easssyyyyyyyyy.

i'm thinking of switching from my harajuku lovers messenger tote bag to my backpack from highschool. totes freaking hurt my back! i don't think i want to sacrifice my posture for style!

...or would i?

AH SUKI SUKI, I LOVE YOU.

ahead of the game and i'm feeling it.

as far as homework goes, i am five steps ahead.

..but knowing me i will take advantage of that until i realize i am five steps behind. buahaha.

anyways, i recieved my package from cherry culture a few days ago.

the eyeshadow singles i had wanted to try out are superb to say the least! the color is nicely pigmented, application is smooth, and blending is a dream. they're called kissy wear eyeshadow singles and they cost a buck each!! you really can't beat that now, can you?

as for the lipsticks, they're GREAT quality. i'm just not feeling the shades i got. no, not even fire. i'm going to shy back to my pink and taupes.

anyhowwwww, i am so freaking bored. busko left to san felipe on friday until tuesday. they're camping at the beach....luckies.

oh well, school is kind of a priority....i guess....maybe....but the beach!?!? sigh.

i gave gordo a bath yesterday. he was looking brown! i don't know why, but he enjoys to lay in patches of dirt. keep in mind i live in the antelope valley so the dirt here is loose. ugh. tell me when the guy is going to quit shedding so much! i know it's getting warmer, but he's been shedding a puppy a day these past few weeks. ackk.

i think i might go back to my reading. i have nothing else better to do unless i eat, but you know, that's how people get fat.

don't eat out of boredom. learn from my mistakes.

toothache.

i need a root canal and gum surgery since the decay has seeped deep into my gums.

i'm sad.

my insurance only covers so much. 787 dollars out of my own pocket. really debating about just getting the sucker pulled out. it's just a molar after all, but gah, i don't want to look cracked out.

i got a B on my english midterm. i fucking hate Bs! too bad i got another B on my math exam today. motherfucker.

..potty mouth.

tomorrow is my bio midterm and i'm feeling preetty confident about it. i've dedicated a lot of memorization to it. i should do fine, probably another damn B.

ughh. my tooth hurts! i can't even chew on that side. so sad. so so sad.

busko is leaving to san felipe for four days on friday with his family. it just leaves me, achilles, busko's sister in law, neice and nefu here at the house. i really wish i could go, but i've got escuela and i'm afraid of not being let back into america being that i am a legal resident. lol

..paranoid..

I CUT MY BANGS. omg.

sigh. i asked for whispy bangs and i got this dense fringe. oh wells. hair grows back. i'm over it.

i purchased my first red lipstick earlier.

i ordered it online from cherryculture.

it's from the nyx round lipstick collection. it was like a dollar each, and i've heard some rave reviews on some of the shades.

so i was planning on going with my regular sheer pinks and taupe kind of shades, but then i came across the shade 'fire.' maybe it was just a momentary lapse, but i added it to my cart.

i want to have fun with it. it seems red lipstick is in the in now, but i've seen it in cases where it made the girl look like she had an std.

..i hope that's not the case for me, but damn, i've always wanted a red lipstick. my mom use to wear red lipsticks, my grandma too even. then why not me?? i use to wear my grandma's and make faces in the mirror when i was younger.

in a few weeks time i will have my very own red lippie! i will take the time to actually line my lips and fill in with the firreeeeee.

now take into consideration i've never really played up my lips makeup wise. it was always usually just my eyes. the reason being because your girl has got some full lips! my aunts always told me that the boys would like them, but i don't know, i was always so self concious about them. the most i'd wear on my lips was like a sheer lip gloss or something, otherwise it was lip balm all day everyday, baby.

so it was not until recently that i've really accepted my lips and realized that people line their lips all crazy and inject god knows what into their lips just to have lips like mine. :D

oh, i also ordered a few other things from cherryculture. just a few eyeshadow singles that i wanted to try out, another eyeshadow brush, and a few other lipsticks.

i'll blog about the haul and my lips of fire as soon as i get my package.

my eyebrows are so grown out, guys! i'm so excited at the possibilities when i pluck these babies! normally i'm the victim of overplucking and i swear i'll try and avoid that at all costs this next time around. i've always wanted full, shapely, natural looking brows, but because of my overplucking i always have thin aZn brows. thank goodness for brow powder.

i went to the dollar store today. i mosied on over to their makeup section. what the hell is this aziza brand? i looked up reviews and it got surprisingly good ones! i'd like to try some out just to do a review, but i don't think i can muster up the strength to be seen purchasing dollar store makeup.

no, i don't have the strength.

i also went to CVS. milani has a summer collection out. lots of shimmery bronze colors, nothing that really caught my eye though. i did see a shade of blush that looked like a good dupe of mac's frosted.

gah, i forgot to buy some glycerine! i'm really wanting to make my own mixing medium so i can foil my mineral eyeshadows. i have so much, but i hate loose pigments. it seems that foiling them is the way to go.

my poster project is almost done. it'll be done by tomorrow if i decide to labor a little bit more into it tonight. nahhhh.

OMG. monistat chafing cream as a face makeup primer!?!??!

so i wanted to play makeup..

but while washing my face i really got a good look at my skin.

holy crap is it bad. my skin has never been this bad, well maybe it has in like the 7th grade, but just on my forehead and around the sides, nowhere noticeable. but now, now it's on my cheeks! how sad. so sad.

i decided to take pictures of the sides of my face and it depressed me even more.

ugh. i still need to find that perfect skin regimen my skin will be happy about. my skin has never been so fickle. it seems to react someway to everything!

i don't want to go back to proactiv. yes, it worked, but only to a certain degree and then it just stopped showing improvement. i want my smooth clear skin again!

i realized my skin started lashing out on me around the same time i started school. could it be stress related?

or even hereditary? everybody in my family had bad skin in some point in their life, usually in their twenties. GASP. i'm going to be 20 this year. how SAD.

i'm probably going to return to using proactiv. even if it doesn't completely clear my skin, at least it does a little. sigh.

anywho.

i'm so tired, but i have been working on my stupid poster project since like 8. it's just so tedious. my biology professor has a schematic kind of thing that we need to follow right down to the last detail. so i'm not really using any creative juices in this project, just following what the Doctor ordered.

i need a haircut. my bangs and layers are totally grown out. i probably need to retouch my hair color too. yeah, i probably do. i don't know how i can justify spending 30 dollars on getting my dog groomed yet it hurts to shell out close to the same amount i spend on gordo to get a haircut for myself! it's clearly necessary now though. i've been rocking pony tails and buns. that is the red flag for a haircut!

thinking about dumping my side bangs and getting some cute wispy bangs. what do you think? i'm tired of side bangs.

you know what, i think i'll go for it. if i hate it...then darnit.

got back from san jose yesterday.

and i'm so sad.





i hate leaving. i really do. my heart will always be in the bay area. always.





i'll be back in a few years. count on it.





the curse of the antelope valley will not wrap its dry desert-y hands around me! i WILL get out of here!





anyways, let's re-cap san jose!





it was so fun! we went to the monterey bay aquarium with my cousin, his family, and my aunt and her family. achilles had a blast. we literally had to drag him away from the different exhibits. he especially loved the huge tank with the huge tuna fish! those things are scary looking, by the way! oh god, scarier looking than sharks even!





fish creep me out. seriously.





i took a bunch of pictures of the different species. i plan on sharing them with my biology professor. i even got a picture of a chiton, he'd really enjoy that. yeah, i'm a kiss ass. kiss asses get far in the world. don't you forget it.





i really wish dr. rainbow didn't just throw a poster project in my face to do during the vacation. that and i need to study for the biology lecture midterm for next week. otherwise i would have stayed in san jose for this whole week. boo boo.





speaking of my poster project, i got started on it a bit ago. i got a fair amount done and i'm so happy with it. i normally lack skills in drawing, but i surprised myself tonight. my plant cell looks pretty kick ass if you ask me. :D





let's see. i'm not going back to san jose until may for my cousin's baby's first birthday/ baptism. not to mention i am one of her god parents. yayyyyy! my name is on the invitation and everything. hahahah.





yawn. i'm tired.





i think i'll end this blog with a quick note. i'm always free to do anyones makeup for whatever ocassion. just check out my skills.





i call this an amy winehouse drag look.

true colors mineral powder stack in a burgundy-ish red on his cheeks. a revlon color stay lip color in knarly purple on his lips. just an all over gray color from my revlon smokey eye quad over entire lid. mac carbon lined his bottom lash line and very heavy eye liner on bottom lash line and top. i used avon in this look. i put it on heavy and brought it out into those wings, and in his inner corner for that cat eye look.

he was feeling it, obviously.
