Quotes from Tumblr that I like

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
A man who truly loves a girl doesn't need to unbutton her shirt to have a better view of her heart.

1. Money can’t buy happiness but

somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle…

2. Forgive your enemy, but

remember the motherfucker’s name.

3. Help a man when he is trouble & he will remember you

when he is in trouble again.

4. Many people are alive only because

it’s illegal to shoot them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then,

neither does milk.

You can't change someone; either accept who they are or start living life without them.

If you’re comfortable with yourself, then it’s sexy. Maybe people think I look sexy because I feel sexy. I am a very liberated person that way. I’m very comfortable with my sexuality, my body, my face - well, sometimes I’m not comfortable with my face, but it’s stuck there and there’s nothing I can do about it.

My life improved dramatically when I decided to break the rules and find beauty where I'd been told there was none.

EXCITING NEWS!

Well for me at least! I haven’t been updating my shop recently because I just had no time or I was working on my blogs and other things. To keep my shop updated, I am looking for a partner to help me out. There is going to be an application process and it’s going to be 100% fair. I’m not going to pick a person just because I know them or I’ve talked to them before. I want someone that is somewhat experienced, can promote, is going to be determined and motivated, has skills that is required, creative ideas and just someone easy to work with. I really want my shop to grow and serve customers and get good feedback. 

If you’re someone who lives far away, it’s going to be hard to separate our jobs and responsibilities but as long as you live in the United States, I’m sure we can work things out. 

On my site, I’m planning on adding a lot more merchandise. I’m still going to sell things I don’t want but less of that and more of first hand items. I promise it won’t be pricey and it’ll be affordable. I’m a cheap person myself and I’m going to make sure these prices are reasonable. I’m thinking about selling stuff like:
- Eyelashes
- Contact cases (DIY)
- Phone cases
- Handmade items
- Accessories
- Make up
And just necessities that most girls need. I’m super excited for this and I hope you guys are too!

+ I edited my tumblr layout but I think I'm gonna stick to this for my blogspot. Maybe I'll change the "about me" picture but that's mainly it.
+ I filmed my 2011 summer lookbook today so I'm gonna edit it as soon as I do the voice-over! I also did a mini haul because I bought some stuff today but I hope you guys will enjoy the video as much as I do. I spent 2 hours recording it and it'll take a lot of time to edit it as well.
+ Things have been up and down with my boyfriend lately so my mood hasn't been so good.
+ Still stressing over my college acceptance. Yup..
+ I think I'm gonna get my mom some skin care products for Mother's day! I usually don't get her anything but recently she's been super supportive and I really wanna thank her for once.
+ I need to save my money ahh. I planned out my boyfriend's birthday already and I really wanna eat at the River's edge or somewhere with a nice view.
+ I'm going to the talent show in Fort Lee on Friday like I do every year! I'm gonna sleep over at Diana's then hang out with Brenda the next day. Yay, bestie-filled weekend!

Mint

I'm in love with the color mint this year! I think everyone is haha. All the pastels for spring and summer. I got this really cute shirt from Forever 21 a while ago and it came in 3 colors but I just had to choose this minty green color. I love it! Especially with the ruffles on the front.

I also got mint colored flower hair clips from H&M for only $3.95. It came in a pack of two and it's mini. Then last week, I saw the mint colored dangly earrings I saw on F21's site and I just had to have it. I saw it in the shop in Soho and I got it on the spot because it was just too pretty.

Here's a picture I took with my boyfriend ^_^

DIY earring holder

I really needed an earring holder because I've been getting some larger earrings. I didn't want them to get messed up so I searched up DIY earring holders on google and I found one that was easy. I already had everything I needed to make it so I made it on the spot. It's super cheap and easy to make! I also think it's a really great decoration for my table. All the colors and everything match so well and the earrings look so pretty too. They're all from Forever 21. 

I might make a video on youtube teaching how you can make this!

Pageant update: I'm in the top 40!

My picture is finally up on their website! Go to misschinesepageant.com and click on "contestants". I'm #18! It's so exciting to see my picture up there and actually feel like I'm a part of the top 40. Hopefully I'll go further and get into the top 14! Congrats to my friends whom I met at the interview (Mercedes, Yi Yao and Mei Fang!) I got the CD of my photoshoot pictures but I still need to tweek them a bit.

Here's a photo of the girls that were at the same interview with me and 2010's pageant winners. I just put them into a collage for people that were curious on tumblr haha. But might as well add it here too, right?

Here's the eye make up I had on for my interview day! I love how long my lower lashes looked

No circle lenses cause I lost them.. Somehow

Six Flags, Samurai sushi, and Ling (My past week)

On Saturday I went to Six Flags with my cousins Weisi & Ivan. My cousin picked me up first and I have to admit, I looked so shitty that day but whatever. We went to Brooklyn to pick Weisi up then we started driving off. Ivan got us lost twice! But we finally got there and it was only around 11. Plus we stopped somewhere to grab breakfast. The weather seemed perfect for Six Flags though. The first thing we went on was Superman I believe and the line was super long already! Weisi kept asking Ivan to buy her food hahah and Dippin' dots was like $6 for a small. We went on El toro which was like the best ride ever. Then we went on Kingda Ka but Weisi sat out for that one. We waited on line for a really long time and I was getting so annoyed. The damn kid in front of me was annoying cause he wouldn't stop talking. After that we were gonna go on Nitro but we hated the long wait and decided to walk around and then leave. Ivan had to pick up his dad from work anyways. They rode the Merry-go-around but I didn't want to then Weisi got a henna tattoo. The lady was so rude and it was ugly haha. We played the boardwalk games for a while. Weisi got so lucky and won a huge Octopus. Then we got an Octopus hat to match. Weisi got the guy's facebook that worked there hahah. Then we played like 4 times to get my Mister Banana. We drove back and I was drooling cause I was super tired going back. Ivan dropped us off in Brooklyn then my mom picked me up from my aunt's restaurant.

LOL our prizes. We look dumb but cute.

Mr. Octopus! Or is it a squid

We went to eat sushi at Samurai Sushi which is my fave. They were so nice and gave us free sushi that was shaped in a heart! Now I know why they're my favorite sushi restaurant hehe. And we got dessert after which was like heaven.

I bet you're drooling over this right now!

Yesterday I met up with Ling because she's in the city for a school trip. We planned this last week and I'm glad I got to see her after a year of not seeing her. We only got to see each other and hang out for an hour because she had to meet up with her class and it went by super fast. We met up in EC and shopped around. Then she got a boba and we took a few pictures. I don't like some of the pictures but here are the ones I like!
