Christmas Celebration & Presents ♥

Note: Picture Heavy

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas ❉ Are you all staying warm? It started raining this evening. It was so cold. Brrr.. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you guys our Christmas celebration and of course the presents ☃ ♥

The best Christmas present I got? Adrian able to walk again. He still uses the crutches but he can now put weight on his foot, that means he can cook again for me! Hahah! The best present ever! ♥

Half of our day, we spent it at Adrian's aunt's house. It was so much fun!

Yay for presents! Grey blouses ♥ I love it!

Then after that, we went to my parents' house. This picture was taken by my point & shoot camera, and I love it!! :) Reminds me of the picture of a front card. :D

We were watching Toy Story 3 because my siblings hasn't watched it yet :)

Adrian, my brother, and my sister :)

My sister wearing one of her gifts :)

Dad opening his gift!

My brother opening his gift! Converse shoes! :D

My mom with her gift. I put some goodies inside *wink*

My love opening his gift. I gave him Nike basketball shorts so when he's better, he can play basketball again! ♥

The parents gave us knife set for our apartment! Yay for sharp knives! LOL!

Opening my gift :)

Parents gave me this Hello Kitty wreath. So cute!!!

& then this Wine bottle stopper :) Now I need more wine! Hahaha!

A surprise from Adrian, a hot topic box came 2 nights before Christmas and I asked Adrian if he ordered anything from online and he said no, then I found out on Christmas day what it is! Hahaha! So sneaky! I didn't know he was able to order this, as it is sold out online! 

I'm happy & warm!! :P I love it beyb!! Thank you!!! ♥

Then another surprise from him! ♥ He was the one that woke me up when the Sephora x Hello Kitty came out for two days. He said, "look, the hello kitty is on sephora website  now!" I was excited of course but it was so expensive so I told him, I'd pass & would wait til January comes. He was like, "you sure? Get it if you want to" I said it's fine. But I have been talking to my blogger friends and twitter about the brush set (and mind you he reads my blog too!) so he probably got the idea that I WANT THE HELLO KITTY BRUSH SET! Hahaha :) I'm so thankful for having a kind and observant husband :P

Beheaded Hello Kitty! hahaha!

Such a cute set, but I don't wanna use it! Hahaha! :P It's actually soft & so much better than the MAC Travel brush set.

& He is very good because he got me the free TOKIDOKI bag too!! YAY!!! :D

He also got me HK blush in "Cherry Blossom"

 ...and HK lipstick in "Peachy"

I was drowning with HK goodness! ♥ I'm not really sure how he picked the colors. lol. :P I love you Adrian! Thanks for always making me smile :)

Then my co-worker also surprised me with these HK nail polish and sticker! I totally didn't expect her to send me this because when I woke up that day, the first thing I noticed was these nail polish were SOLD OUT! I was freaking out and told her how thankful I was that she got me this. ♥ Love you Celia! Thanks for being so sweet (my co workers know about my blog! lol!)

Adrian's aunt gave me this coach wrislet. So pretty!

She also got me this MAC palette! I guess this is the holiday palette this year! So pretty!!!

My other co-worker gave me this perfume. Funny story. I told her, "what's that smell? is that your perfume? Smells really good!" She said, "yeah its the Burberry Sport for women" Then lo and behold, she got me one! hahaha! :) She said I'm like a daughter to her. How sweet! I have the best co workers ever!! :)

Sis & bro in law gave me more make up to play! Nymphette l/g and Kitchmas pigment. Such nice colors :) So excited to play with them!

Now my other co worker who thinks I'm nuts for having all of these hello kitty items gave me a hello kitty pillow. He said I am always yawning at work! Hahaha! Well, I feel tired all the time :( But thank you for the pillow! I love it very much!! It's very cute!

See how long this HK pillow is? *hugs it tight*

More Hello Kitty stuff given by my family and friends! ♥

Such a lovely watch! I have to take it to a shop to adjust the size. Too big for my wrist.

My favorite!! ♥ I love it! It matches the coin purse Rina gave me! :D

That's all :) But let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas. (of course I have few friends who don't celebrate Christmas and I respect that) It's not about the gift we receive, but its also about giving, sharing, forgiving, and the birth of Jesus Christ. Thank You everyone & I hope you all have great holidays! Merry Christmas once again & I hope you all have a great New Year as well! 

Merry Christmas To All!

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone is staying warm and I pray that you are with your love ones celebrating this very special day.

'tis the time to be happy

'tis the time to give

'tis the time to forgive

'tis the time to spread the love

Merry Christmas!!!

Adrian and I wishes you Happy Holidays! ♥

Blogger Meet Up ♥ & Haul

Last December 11 (I know, I'm a bit late already☹) I met up with May http://maysbeautyobession.blogspot.com/ whom I've known (through blogger) for quite some time now. We have been talking through blogger, email, twitter and even text. She is very sweet, caring and nice. We have never lost communication even though both of us have been busy outside blogger. There's only few that always keep in touch with me and I'm thankful for those girls who has been really thoughtful ☺ May is one of them. She's the first one who got me hooked on sheet mask. It all started with "Whitia Mask" hahaha.. Since then we've become blogger friends and as the months, years went by, I have consider her now one of my girl-friends whom I know I can trust.

We went to Guppy's of course. We also met up with Diana http://paperdollrevenge.blogspot.com/ who offered to drive us around ☺

I was starving. They probably got tired of me already saying "I'm hungry" "I'm really starving" like every 10 seconds. Hahaha!

Of course we gotta get some brick toast! I missed it so much!!!

It was hot enough that day that we decided to order shaved ice. It was so good also!

Before going to Guppy's May and I went to Mitsuwa also to see what they have. Of course I had to buy some candies there! LOL! May is so sweet that she gave me a coupon for $5 off ♥

I got some Milk Tea Kitkats and one of my favorite milk chocolates: Meiji

We went to Imperial Beauty Supply and met up with Sarah http://motosays.blogspot.com/. You can never get out of Imperial Beauty Supply without buying anything! Haha!

I managed to get out with a few polishes as a gift for my friend and also got myself 2 nail polish.

Can You Tapaz This? and The Show Must  Go On.

Both are really pretty colors don't you think?

After all the crazy nail polish shopping, we went to Irvine Spectrum and walked around. It was so much fun being with these ladies because all we did was talk, laugh, and share stories ♥ Girl bonding is the best stress reliever for me :)

May and I bought a Hello Kitty pouch *yay for matching pouches* It was so cute and we didn't even know they were 20% off! Woohoo!! We got it for only $13! I saw a black and pink one at Sanrio and they were selling it for $20! Boo! LOL!

We got hungry so we went to Yard House to eat. Nah, we didn't drink! Hahah! :) We just had dinner and had a really great time.

May is very sweet that she gifted me with these goodies!!! Hello Kitty plushy slippers. OMG So soft on my feet. And she gifted me with more masks! Ahhhh!! ♥ I can't wait to try them! Thank You so much May! You are just so sweet!!!! I hope to see you again! Keep in touch! You know I'm just a text or phone call away (and of course twitter, facebook and blogger :P)

Also over that weekend, I got me some shirts at Hollister and they were only $4! Great for just jeans and tees kind of day :)

 Upcoming Beauty Review: Skin79 Oriental Cream! Stay Tuned for that ♥

See you guys again soon! ♥

*Squeals* and *Squeals* once again! Hahaha :) So a lot of you probably saw this on your email this morning right? Well, I was sleeping soundly when Adrian woke me up and showed me this email. I was still dreaming when I opened my eyes and unconsciously said "oh, that's nice (w/o even realizing what it was) and went back to my bed. I was half asleep but it only took me minutes to realize its hello kitty so I got up right away and took my laptop to look at this collection. Sad to say I have not really been saving up for this collection as I have more important stuff to pay. :(
