Playoffs 2012 Clippers vs Grizzlies

Personal Post :D Yay!!! Last May 07, we went to Staples Center to watch Clippers vs Grizzlies. Now, I'm not much of a basketball fan but the hubby is so being the sport that I am, I went ahead and bought a jersey of my own. Haha! I like Clippers more than Grizzlies. I love Blake Griffin <3 Haha!

They were giving away Extra Large T-shirts upon entrance. Nearly swallowed me! Hahaa!

We got great seats! Was so close I could hug Griffin. Lol joke! But it was pretty good seats :D

Friends also came with us. The more the merrier!

Didn't know watching a game can be so nerve racking! OMG I was so nervous! But was glad Clippers won in the end. Hooray! :D

Then we camwhored outside the Staples Center. By the way it was my first time. Haha! I enjoyed it too much! Definitely not my last time here :)

Pose Pose Pose.. hahaha! :D

I miss doing personal posts. Hope you guys don't mind :) My month of May is much better than my other months this year. I have been feeling under the weather since February. I'm just glad I was able to have fun this month. Hoping that the upcoming week is a lot more fun.

Nails of the Week!

I have painted my nails twice this week! =) Yay for using my nail polishes! Hahaha!! Seriously though, some of the nail polish I have in my drawer have not been used once or twice :(

Here is my new Essie "too too hot" from the Brazilliant Collection. It's such a pretty red! I love the formula and how creamy essies' are.

I used Essie Turquoise and Caios on my pinky and dotted a white nail polish dots to make it look like a strawberry. It's so much fun and so easy to do =) This nail polish color is attention grabber! I've been asked so many times what color is it ♥

Next nail color is the OPI "Swimsuit... Nailed it!" Can you believe that this is just ONE COAT? Yes, just one coat! So creamy! So easy to work with!

I added the hello kitty sticker from bornprettystore.com to make it look cute p(*＾-＾*)q

I'm back to work again tomorrow.. my days off go by quick. I love being home though. Some other times, I like being alone. The "ME" time. I like being able to shop around, do my nails, get a pedicure or sometimes just walk around alone. :)

When I'm off, I don't like wearing make up. Lipgloss is enough. Like the picture  below which was taken 07.18.11 (yesterday). I feel light and carefree.

Quick Hello!

Hi everyone!! =) Just a quick hello to say that I have missed blogging.. I have so many pending beauty reviews coming!!! and OMG July is almost done!! I hope August would be more fruitful than my July.. hahaha :]

It's already 2:27am and I'm about to sleep. I worked 16 hours last night and went home at around 7:30am but instead of sleeping like I should, hubby and I went out. He brought me to Cabazon Outlets and we went to Converse --  they were having FF Sale 30% off! Woohoo!! Will show you guys what we both (yes, matching again!!) on the next post :)

So here's me this morning, NO SLEEP. My eyes look so tired. Thank goodness for h20 eye mender cream! That's still my holy grail eye cream. For the past year, I've gone thru 3 jars of that already! Hahaha! I just love it :)

Oh, and I was craving for some Ramen but Santouka Ramen is too far from my place so I settled for Cha-siu Ramen at Kabuki Restaurant by Victoria Gardens. It's pretty good!! took my Ramen cravings!! They have more meat servings than Santouka for sure.

and OMG have you guys seen the Sephora Graffiti Collection? The palette is so gorgeous, that I want one!! But knowing me, I know I won't use it.. It's just going to be in my drawer and I will probably take it out from time to time to stare at it.. That's how crazy I am. I still want it though. C'mon Sephora FF Sale! LOL!

I have some lashes to review.. hope I'll be able to do that soon! =) Oh, I also removed DISQUS again! Gah, I can't make up my mind! As much as the comment interaction is nice and convenient, I was getting too much SPAM on it. I hate itttt.. so yeah, back to normal comment box! And I'll try to comment back as soon as I can =) Thanks again for reading my blog!!

Another random update ♥

I have been thinking about sonicare toothbrush for the longest time. Not because I have braces, but because of course I want to better care for my teeth also. So finally, I got it! YAY!! They are having $20 off at Costco. Two Sonicare brushes with 3 sonicare brush heads and travel pack for $80 is not bad! I'm so excited to use this :D

Another update, I moved in to our new 3 weeks ago but since a lot of stuff has been happening, we haven't really settled in yet :( I wanted Christmas decorations but I can't just yet. *sigh*

I have been feeling sad lately.. A lot of stuff has been happening.. and I am in need of faith, strength, and encouragement.

Hope you guys had a nice Thanksgiving weekend ♥

For the people *waves at new subscribers hello** that are new on my blog, my random updates usually consist of no topic posts. It's like a mind vomit. LOL.

I. cant. sleep. :(

I am probably stressed about us moving again next month. Yep. Moving to another apartment. We finally found a new apartment. I'm kind of excited but its stressing because its so hard to pack, unpack and settle to a new place. It's also farther from where I work.

We will be moving at the end of the month to my Parents house and stay there for 10 days because the apartment we are moving to won't be ready til October 11th.

It will be weird living again with my parents :| My mom was going to live with us when we move to our apartment but she changed her mind for some personal reasons so I will just visit her from time to time.

Hello Everyone =) I have been in a good mood since Monday.. weird eh? LOL! It's the time of the month so my mood swings usually gets crazy.. ☺ My Monday doesn't seem that busy, it actually went by fast.. and now its Wednesday and I'm off.. Thursday is my "Monday" but I don't really care that much.. 

I'm really loving my LV artsy MM. I've read mixed reviews regarding about it. Some people L♥ve it.. Some people don't.. We have different opinions, but one comment made me laugh, it was that he/she thinks that only "kid's arm" can fit into the handle of the Artsy MM bag. Hahahah! I may be skinny, but I do not have a "kid's arm".. so whatever :P  Probably that person has hippopotamus arms :P

Shots are from the Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign..

Skin Update: I have some new skin care products that I am trying right now.. Its only been a few days so I can't review them yet but I will soon :) I won't reveal them yet.. :P Some of you commented that my skin seems to be getting better. Hmmmm.. a little bit, but not a lot! It seems like I have flawless skin in pictures, that's because the L'egere BB cream is doing its job covering the nasty pimples and acne scars. Amazing coverage isn't?

Here is a photo with a flash using the L'egere BB cream :)

Here is my review for the L'egere BB cream: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2009/01/beauty-review-legere-white-multi-bb.html

Hey guys! I'm still alive.. lol. I've been away from Blogger for like a week now :( It saddens me but you can still reach me from Facebook and Twitter - and now Formspring.me. Haha! I didn't know you guys have lots of questions and even my sex life became a topic. lol. :P I can't say much because Adrian reads my answers! Hahaha! :P Anyway, I'm so happy to be connected with you all.. it's like an addiction that if I don't post on my twitter, I become uneasy, sad.. lol crazy huh!

Anyway, as I've said, been so busy at work. I am their new medroom person and has limited contact with patient. I should feel safe right? but its super stressful! Knowing all these freaking medications, taking orders, going to the pharmacy to pick up things, transcribing, etc, makes me damn cray-cray! OMG like its insane! So when I get home, all I wanna do is relax and watch TV. Sorry guys if it seemed like I haven't updated or blogged hop. Once I become stable at my new position, I will surely get back to blogging.. I have lots to blog! Hahaha! ^^

I have too much plans this coming February! I want to enroll in a Yoga class to de-stress myself and of course strengthen my body too.. I also want to talk to my school counselor about my plans of going back to school in the Fall. Agh! Thinking about it already stresses me.

I need retail therapy but I'm avoiding that right now. It's not  healthy for the pocket and not healthy for me because it means I need to work more.. :(

Here are the things I'm eyeing:

➠ Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows

➠ Lychee Rhoto V

➠ My Beauty Diary Mask *especially the White Truffles*

➠ Benefit You Rebel Lite

➠ More Korres Shower Gel and Body Butter (because they're awesome!!!)

➠ Anastacia Eyebrow Kit (so I can groom my eyebrow at home)

➠ Hello Kitty Watch (need a watch that has seconds - for my duty)

That's it for now..

Miss you all ♥

Paperdollrevenge's Surprise - Christmas Gift 2

My 1st Part of my Christmas gifts was the "Eff Me" Boots Post". That gift came from Adrian. ^_^ Then a day before Christmas, a surprise gift came from the mail. She is just too sweet!

Who could it be? No other than my sweet friend, Diana - Paperdollrevenge ^_^ She surprised me with a Christmas pack, she is just too sneaky! :)

Visit her bloggie: http://paperdollrevenge.blogspot.com/

She is also having a blog sale: http://paperdollrevenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/end-of-year-blog-sale.html

I totally didn't expect she's going to surprise me, so it made my Christmas eve/day sweeter when I opened the parcel. :)

One day at Twitter, she asked which is prettier, the China Glaze Ruby Pumps n/p or the O.P.I. Dear Santa. I told her that the Dear Santa is very pretty! I didn't know she's going to surprise me with one! ^_^ and then One day I posted on Facebook "somebody gift me with the Ginger Bells n/p" then she also surprised me with one. OMG I can't believe it! She is just very generous..and sneaky :P (like the quality of the pictures? they're from my new camera)

She also gifted me with different face masks. I cannot wait to try them! :)

I love her! She is just too nice to me. She's always there.. always cheering me up, keeping in touch, she's a true friend - a friend whom I can trust. :)

More updates to come.. I'm trying to finish everything before the year ends - which I don't think I'll be able to. Haha! ^_^ More gifts to post. I love you all! Thank you for everything. For being a part of my Year 2009 :)

Hello ladies! Do not ever think that I have abandoned you all.. I have been so busy with so many stuff lately :[ I can't handle it. I'm asking God to give me more patience. I'm the type of person who gets really impatient and sometimes I think of giving up!


Work - so busy.. too many paperworks. Not enough salary. 3 days of Furlough. Stupid Governor took all of our Holiday pay.


Apartment Hunting - I saw this nice apartment complex nestled in a nice place. It's a gated community with so many amenities. Gym on site and all of the stuff you can dream of in an apartment. I was excited because they have a walk in closet. I mean c'mon who doesn't want a walk in closet right? So, we went there and talked to the manager and let me tell you what! She is rude! So many people complained how lazy she is, how rude she talks to the tenants and how she milks money outta them. I was appalled! I told myself, I cannot live in a place managed by a person like that. She is the manager from hell! She said we can only have 2 parking space so whenever there's guest coming, after 9pm they need to park OUTSIDE THE GATE or else she'll tow it. So yeah, I lost my walk in closet :( Our contract is almost over and I need to find an apartment ASAP.

Health - been so tired lately. Stressed and all. I'm trying to finish my San Francisco Posts. I'll do it one of these days. Can't wait to get another vacation. This time, I wanna go to Catalina Islands and just relax there.. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY!!!

Look at Macho! He's gotten so big! So cute! :)

I'll see you guys next time. I just really made this short and simple to tell you guys I MISS YOU ALL!!! and yes I'm busy tweaking my blog page as well. This is just temporary. This is not the layout I have in mind. I want simple.

It has been so long since I did my "Random Updates" so I'll leave you guys another one..

This is taken just now. I am in desperate need of something to fade my acne scars (pink arrows). It has been 1.5 months and the scars has not faded yet. :( Any suggestions on any collagen boosters/scar faders?

Also since I worked lots of NOC shift, I don't get to sleep til the morning so I have acquired dark circles (black arrow) :( I need something that really works. My eyes are so puffy in the mornings, I look like I've cried the whole night. :( So I need an eye cream that can fade dark circles and helps with the puffiness.

My skin is whack!

Comment me your suggestions guys! Thank You in advance! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ADRIAN! (Sept 05)

Will post our Day 1 in SF soon ^^ and of course b-day pics :)
