Happy New Year!

WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY AND LOTS OF READING!!!

I'm doing this post because I might not be able to post an entry on New Year's Day because I'm gonna be at work! *Sigh* I'm still on probation so I can't really do much! :( So, I wanna greet everyone..

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

2009 Here We Come!!!!

So much things happened in 2008 that I will surely cherish.. All those memories..

January - New Year's last year was fun! I just graduated from College, and was so happy that finally I was done with books (for now). I also got engaged, and eventually got married :) It was also my 21st birthday :D My hair was freaking long! :) I miss it! :D

February - Took my board exam, got hired for my very first job ever, got my first paycheck too! Sweeet!! Money! Shopping starts this month...

March - Started watching Youtube tutorials. Got addicted to it, make up collecting started this month. Whew. I started with so little, then I noticed it growing each month. lol! Back then, I only have the basics. The only eyeshadows I have was Carbon e/s and a Bronzy one. I forgot the name. I also used to use foundation - from Studio fix to all those very thick coverage one. I only need the small steralite clear drawer back then :P

April, May, June, July, and August - lots of working, partying, and hoarding make up happened these months :) Co-workers and I drinking greygoose! Yum! and some pictures of me with full make up. I used to dig nude lips and smokey eyes a lot! hahah!

September - It was the husband's 22nd birthday! I surprised him with a party. :D I also dyed my hair dark brown :D I also bought my very 1st car :D

October - I only remember working 16 hours almost everyday. LOL! Getting ready for the holidays that's why! and lots of bills.. shopping.. make up hoarding!

November - Thanksgiving Day! Gone crazy at Cabazon. Here's the link (click) to some of the things I bought at Cabazon. :) Went there at around 12am. Shoot never again maybe next year! haha!

December - I got my MACBOOK! Hooray! :) Merry Christmas Everyone! I'm really thankful for everything I have now. I had a blast on 2008! Hoping to have a better year this 2009! :) Looking forward to it. I don't want to do a New Year's Resolution because I just can't guarantee that I'll do it. Haha. PS: Here's what my skin looks like now after my breakthrough with LY-Na. I still have little blemishes on my forehead which I think will never go away! lol! I dunno if they are pimples but they are these fleshy bumps, really small. I guess I need to go see a derma? :/

Happy Holidays Everyone! :) I hope you all do a year long post also :D

My birthday is coming up (next week), should I still make a wishlist? Hmmm....

Christmas Presents :)

WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY!

How was everyone's Christmas?? Well.. I went to 3 different Christmas Party. Lots of relatives that's why :) Here's the husband and I wearing our Santa's hat. :) I look so bloated! Haha! Yiii :/


Then the next day, another party and I took pictures of course :) After the LYNA thing, my skin got worse. I got pimples on my forehead and I hated it. :( Good thing I found Laneige. I tried their samples and I fell in love with it. The bottles were too expensive, but the husband was kind enough to let me get the full size bottles. Christmas gift! Yay! My skin is getting better each day..

Then the last party I went to, I was too tired to even put make up on. I know! :( I worked 16 hours that day, put on some eyeliner and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish/Natural Powder. That was it. My eyeliner smudged on me, and I looked ridiculously tired. I woke up at around 5am, and this picture was taken past midnight already. Horrible ! :(

So... Here are some of the gifts I received this Christmas. Thanks to all who greeted me and to those who gave me presents. I love everything I got :) There's more.. but I was too lazy to take pictures. maybe next time :)

NARS Palette! :) Yay Thanks to the husband! I loooovvveee it! :) It also came with the red pouch thingy. :)

Converse Jack Purcell matching shoes for the husband and I :) Mine's so small compare to his!

Here's my plate cover. I dunno how you call this. LOL! Sorry I don't wanna take a picture of my whole license plate. Haha!

Here's my Sunshade which I can't use it since its cold outside. LOL! I'll use it over the summer maybe :)

I'm so happy for all the things I got! Thank You Everyone!! I love you all! Will update again soon. I had to sleep now since I have to wake up early tomorrow! Ugh I'm not a morning person.. :(

Happy Holidays! :)

Just wanna wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :) I know I haven't been updating.. I was busy working! Yes Working even if its a holiday. Gotta suck it up since I'm still on probation and can't really do much.

I will be updating soon along with the gifts I received :) Thank you so much for your patience. Haha. :)

My Hello Kitty Make Up Organizer

It makes me sad that I wasn't able to join Pink's Powwow! I had to work, and on top of that, its like an hour and half to get there. :( Well maybe next time. Hope you ladies enjoyed the party and don't forget to show me pictures! Yay! :)

My Birthday is coming up.. I'm turning 22! :P I feel so old now! Haha. I don't have any plans for my birthday. I'm too broke to even consider making a wishlist for myself. So I guess the husband and I will just have a quiet dinner. I'm too tired from work. :( I'm glad tomorrow's my Day Off! We will be at Glendale because we have a family dinner. Then on Monday, I will hit those Japanese stores and we'll see what I'll get. :p Hopefully the husband will let me get the Japanese magazines this time :p I'm also thinking of buying an outfit for the Christmas party that were having at Green Rivers. I still don't know what to wear, make up, etc.

I painted my nails and I think it suits the holiday. I got compliments from work wearing this nail polish :P I painted my nails at work! Haha!  I did this like 4 in the morning. My patients were asleep so I got bored. Haha. Oh I used Milani in Disco Lights in case you wanna know :P My nails are too long :P

Also when I got home, I Changed the decorations of my make up organizer. I decided to hello kitty-fied by organizer and my 88 CS palette. Haha. They look like kiddy make up now. LOL! But I'm loving it. I'm so excited for the MAC+Hello Kitty! I'm starting to save up! :P How much will you spend? :P

Ok, beauty chicas! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!! :)
