Hey all! I'm updating at 3am again... Anyways this is actually a late post because technically this is about April 10. So I have come up with a definite wishlist. When my iPod dies I want the Samsung P3 in White with 32GB. It is $299 so that's like $1oo cheaper than the 32GB iPod touch. The P3 doesn't have wi-fi but you can bluetooth it to your cell phone and it has "widgets" (similar to apps). I am definitely excieted for its release. As much as I want all the items in my past post, I feel like I should save up for other things like Steph's jewelry. Definetly gonna get a necklace and some earrings after paycheck. I'm also planning on investing in skin whitening products because I am tired my middleish, not silky pale yet not glowing tan complexion. Any suggestions on good products? So today I went in for my final appointing of allergy testing and it turns out I am allergic to mercaptobenzothiazole and propylene glycol. Mercaptobenzothiazole is an ingredient in some rubbers and propylene glycol is found in my many beauty products such as shampoos and foundations. Propylene glycol is know to irritate many people but I am particularly sensitive to it so when I got home, I spent over three hours going through everything I own and reading labels. I ended up throwing away about a brown grocery bag full and give about another bag full to my mom. Turns out the Cetaphil cleanser and Vanicream products my dermatologist made me swear by for 3 months had propylene glycol in them. SO for three months I've been going backwards. Anyways after that I went to Walgreens which is across the street to restock on cleanser and such from a master list (57pages worth) of everything that is safe for me to use which was given to me by my doctor. I ended up having to replace my shampoo, conditioner, shaving gel, hairspray, facial cleanser, and morning moisturizer. On the bright side I found 1.5liter bottles of Kirin Afternoon Tea for about $4 and bought 4 bottles.
For my YouTube subscribers that make the effort to click that link and make it here, I have pictures of an upcoming makeup and hair tutorial for you all! They are inspired by Yoon Eun Hye.

So today both my bestie Brianna and I didn't have to work so we decided to chill for the day. She came over around 1pm and we kind of facebook stalked people's pictures for an hour. Then we started doing pointless things like roll around on the floor. But then we decided to get productive and go out to get something to eat. At first we wanted to go to Quickly's but that was too far and we ended up finding a place on Yelp called Double Decker that was pretty close. It sells burgers, salads, fries, and ice cream. We shared a large order of fries, she got an Original Chicken Burger and I got a Buffalo Chicken Burger. I'm still stuffed. After that we headed back to the Walgreens near my house and stalked up on some snacks and makeup. (: Well what do we do after we get a bunch of make up and food? Well first we ate the food then I did her makeup. Between the two of us, I am much more subtle so when I gave her control of my face and hers to me, we ended up looking like each other. Well today was a nice break from the boring work day. I'll include the haul video after it uploads on YouTube.

Haha I'm here again...I guess this is to make up for my probable lack of updates once Spring Break ends and AP testing comes. Right now I don't even want to think about that. So today I woke up at 9am and checked my email. I am definitely going to order from DSK Jewelry. Her stuff is so cute, its hard to choose! Well after that I went to work, oh right if you guys didn't know, I work at UCSF. Well it was boring, filed somethings, moved a few food trays up and down stairs, and joke with Kevin (my co-worker). Its kinda of funny actually that I ended up working with him, we've known each other since kindergarten. Well after that I decided to drop by Japantown and get some food. At the Ninja Market I bought California Rolls and two bottles of Kirin Afternoon Tea. Unfortunately I ate the rolls before I took a picture for you all. I also got a Nutella and Strawberry crepe at Sophie's Crepes but I also finished that before taking a picture ): Well after that food spluge I decide to walk about 2miles home and ended up playing NBA 2k9 with my brother for a while. Not much happened today, now I'm just waiting for the Warriors game at 7:30pm PST.

How could I resist showing you guys my boring and undecorated desk? Can't help it though, hospital regulations. Notice I'm wearing shades inside? I wear glasses at work but I put them on for this picture. Fluorescent lighting is not forgiving.

I was winning! But only for a while (:

Alrighty so here is my first update at about 4am. I really can't sleep because this week, during my spring break, I'm going through an allergy test. Currently there are about 85 chemical samples taped (literally) to my back and about three of them have changed color and irritated me. But the most irritating part is the tape! It itches like crazy! These patches got put on on Monday and I get them off in a few hours (at 11am). Then on Friday I come back for a final reading. UGH
On a happier note I am lusting after a few products at the moment, one of which is MAC's Cool Eyes Palette from their Trip II collection. Apparently this collection will be out from April-Auguest09 at Duty Free Shops only. These are usually only in Airports but there is one in downtown so I think I'll pick it up there. I love like every color in the palette but its $38. So hmm... I might also pick up the Spring Bean Lustreglass but thats permanent so no rush. Enough MAC talk! The Body Shop's Moroccan Rose frangrance and Benefit's Benetint (darn you Ling!) are also appealing.
The Asian drama series I'm current watching is Fated to Love You. It is SO cute and makes me cry a lot! There are English subs if you guys want to check it out. (I dont' understand Taiwanese either) The link is here.
My favorite foods change a lot but I'm currently in love with Ninja Market's (in SF Japantown) California Rolls, Rasberry Brown Cow Yogurt, and Kirin Afternoon Tea. Nice is light (:
I'll try and update more often. Pictures below relate to what I talked about.

Another tag! I was tagged by DeydrasDeffinition to list my top five beauty resolutions so here we go!

1. I will take better care of my hair. (hey that rhymed) As in I will use a deep conditioner especially since I now swim six days a week.

2. I will use sunblock on my face. It is recommended by dermatologists and I already bought some but I've been too lazy. :/

3. I will work on my winged eyeliner. It looks much better on me compared to a level liner but it takes so much effort for me to get both eyes even than I never do it. PRACTICE!

4. I will drink more water, I hardly drink any because I hate it but I really should.

5. I will try wearing more hairstyles to school besides just leaving it down because I'm lazy.

2. AnchorBlue
3. Wet Seal
4. Forever 21
