Figured while I'm sitting here washing laundry and grandad-sitting, I would at least give some life updates, so are great, some, not so great at all. *takes a deep breath* let's get the bad crap over with first shall we? You're more than welcome to scroll down the the green section if you don't wanna read my venting, I got a Christmas theme going on!!
- About that date...
- So yeah, the guy I had gone on the date with a few weeks ago has successfully managed to drop off the planet lol. He does say he's busy a lot but I would think it only takes a few seconds to send a text. It doesn't really bother me anymore surprisingly, I've learned to keep my guard up!
- Stress Weight Gain...
- I've managed to pack on a few pounds in about 2 weeks so now my clothes are more snug than ever! I've been really stressing out because I'm changing my college course from Business Admin to Information Tech, at quite literally the last moment. I was set to graduate next semester because I only had two more business core classes to take, but I had a change of heart and have been worried ever since. Fingers crossed guys!
- How embarrassing...
- So I went out to Annandale with my coworkers last night (aka little Korea, lol :)) but I hadn't put on any makeup aside from gloss and foundation, I was really tired after work an d fell asleep without giving it another thought. I felt so... out of place! Granted, half of the girls had no makeup on either, but while everyone looked like they were still in their twenties, I felt like a 40 year old!! It didn't help that this super cute guys came to sit at our table and took with us, it was awful. I guess this also ties into the weight thing... I need to get my butt in gear, I really do.
- My J-mags arrived!!
- I literally wanted to explode into a puff of rainbow smoke! An American working in Japan who I spoke to agreed to post Soul Sister Magazines in his eBay shop!! I bought the only two he had posted, plus a couple more! I'll have more info on them once I read them, I'm really excited! I really need the motivation!
- A New Weight Loss Partners
- On one of my more depressing days I took a completely different route to my work place, then I saw a church friend of mine who works in another department at the hospital. I happily offered a ride and somehow we got on the topic of weight. I spilled how Muffin lives 45 minutes away and my coworker, Dee, always stood me up when we agreed to meet at the gym. This woman used to be much bigger than me, and now, after getting married, moving away, and having a baby, is much smaller than me! She said she would my support system, and is willing to help me try again ^^ coincidentally, another old church friend invited me to Zumba! So we'll see what happens, this may become a health blog too!
- Making Amends
- I think I've ranted a few times how my bestest friend, Muffin, has made some choices that I'll never agree with, nor understand. For the longest time, I prayed to God that she would turn her life around, or at least give her some rude awakening. Something strange happened, now I can deal with her... ahem, 'adventures' without getting annoyed or being judgmental. I wouldn't say it's how I wanted things to turn out, but I accept the fact that she's her own person, and there's really no one as understanding of me than she is, losing such a close friend just isn't worth it.
- New Tradition!!
- Muffin and I have agreed: Every Summer we're gonna prepare a Japanese themed lunch and head over to Wolf Trap for the Video Game Concert they hold. We're really excited >O< so far we've discussed packing tonkatsu (she makes AMAZING food), onigiri, soy sauce hard boiled eggs, and a few other yummy items. We'll be sitting on the lawn (because you can't eat under the roof), feeling like a pair of bosses. Plus since we don't see each other as much as we'd like, we think it's a great idea.
- Prepping for Otakon and Anime USA
- 'Nuff said, I'm going to Otakon on my own unless I find someone to meet up with, then I'm taking my little sister Kimmy to Anime USA! Now that she's been exposed, she can't wait for September to come around!!!
- Becoming Productive Again.
- I've made a pact with myself: do more aside from playing video games. My room is always such a mess because all my old crafting/sewing stuff is filling in where ever there is space. I want to start up origami again, and I have a few circle skirts that are unfinished, and the fabric is so pretty too! They're all light weight so I need to finish them in time for the summer!!
- Gyaru Motivation: The Lovely Ify
- I read Crystal's blog post for another giveaway contest!! The catch - a make/outfit tutorial...... I'm terrified and excited all at the same time, I mean, there are WAY more people in to world who are better at makeup than me, so I'm afraid. But, I really want that damn Domo bag!! *0* I think I had this problem before for her first giveaway with a Domo notebook >< This is tearing me apart!!! But I think I'll go for it, I don't have much to lose lol here's the link to the youtube promotion she made, check it out!!

Ummmmmmmmm..... here's the most recent pic of my playing with makeup:
Seriously, where was this chick when I needed her in Annandale?! Lol I'm waving because I thought it was a video, not a picture!! Ah well, whatever.
I think that's all for now!! I think all my posts are going to end this way now lol
