Japan awaits

2010-03-05T23:51:00.000-08:00

Hello all!

It's been a while again. Just a quick post before I sleep ! Finalllly, I'M GOING TO JAPAN!! :D Finished packing a few minutes ago. Are you guys like that too? Waiting till the last minute to pack, I mean. :) Hopefully, I can upload and update while I'm there.

Talk to y'all soon! Hope you guys have a good week !

<3

They got nothin' on you !

2010-02-23T20:28:00.000-08:00

Good day to you all!

It's truly been awhile. Life has been hectic as usual. Lots of projects and tests, finding out I'm doing poorly in mathematics ( being asian has failed me D: ), family problems, and whatnot. It's a rough ride right now, but I'm hanging onto the rails somehow. Ew I just opened my window and smell skunk. That was random, but annnywhoozle..

A bakery called Galaxy Bakery recently opened on a street near where I live, so being the food fiend I am, I decided to give it a go! The prices were out of this world! Sorry I just had to say it :)

I got mango mousse cake and sponge cake ! The bakery worker girl wouldn't put my mousse cake into a box because I needed to buy more cake for a box, so she just plopped it into a bag. Thankfully, it was not harmed. Both were quite deelish nonetheless!

Also got a new friend :

QUATCHI! First glance it looks like an ordinary stuffed animal, but...

It's actually a backpack! Olympic merchandise is kinda pricey for me, but I caved and bought it! Ooh my willpower is too weak for my own good.

Back to homework! Gotta rewrite my socials essay. We were supposed to write about the impact and perspectives of World War I and I wrote about weapons. o_o

Parting is such sweet sorrow

My jellyfish went missing on my way home .

2010-02-16T23:46:00.000-08:00

Good evening, all!

Just a quick post before I head off to bed! Today, I worked on a bio project with my friends worth 210 marks! I was in charge of putting the whole poster together. When I arrived at home, I unrolled the poster to finish it off and discovered this :

A jellyfish picture had fallen out while I was walking home! ): The blue square was where the picture resided before it fell to its fate. Sadly, I don't have a printer to replace the image so I tried to make a dupe..

I also couldn't find my pencil crayons, so I used old eyeshadow to colour it in! This poster looks so childish. Probably because of the bright colours :)

I'm out. Hope you all had a guuureat Tuesday!
<3

SHINJIRARENAI !

2010-02-14T23:42:00.000-08:00

.. means unbelievable in Japanese!

ANYWHOOZLE! I hope y'all have been awesome as usual this week! A lotta fortunate things have happened for me :) Very surprising since I'm like a black cat that roams and roams.

I'm sure you guys know that the Vancouver Olympics have started! Sometime last week, ( I'm gonna say Wednesday or Thursday ) the Olympic torch runner was scheduled to run on the main street near my school, so we were all released early to show off our Canadian spirit. Yeyeahhh!

As the torch runner approached, the crowd swarmed him down, asking to take pictures with him! I was amongst that swarm, but didn't get a shot with the torch runner. ): I got to touch the torch though when he wasn't looking so that made up for the photo. :D

Today, I celebrated Chinese New Year with my family!

a grand chinese feast!

taught my aunt the art of camwhoring. she still has a long way to go !

Amongst my lucky money, my aunt gave me Japan yen instead of Canadian currency for my upcoming trip!

19 more days till the Japan trip! Very very excited! I've also been looking into some homestay programs in Japan. I'm thinking about staying over in Japan after I grad for a little bit. Just a far fetched idea for now.

Hope you all had a wonderful week and HVD, HCNY!

Small purchases of my fancy

2010-02-09T23:56:00.001-08:00

Helllo all!

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's something quick before I scurry off to bed. :)

I recently bought 2 polishes and the book, The Looking Glass Wars. This book is top notch! I stayed up till 4 am yesterday reading it! Also scored this hardcover for $5.99! I definitely recommend this book, even though I'm only halfway through. :)

OPI's Russian Navy

OPI's Suzi Says Feng Shui

Sorry for the horrid pictures! Quickly swatched em 9:

On a different note, while I was walking to the bus stop, I passed this house with what I thought was a real dog in their front yard. I took a closer look to discover that it was a ceramic dog! Does anyone else but me find it kinda weird? It's probably there to scare off birds and such, but it scares me too. o__o

Hope you all had a wonderful day

An overdue post of yum yums

2010-01-27T23:09:00.001-08:00

Hello gals!

It's been a while since I've posted something, so here's a little something :)

Over the weekend, a couple of friends and I went to an asian mall. I was hoping to score some clothes or whatnot. Instead, I found the next best thing: FOOD!

I've always seen shaved ice and always thought, "I could easily shave my own ice cubes at home and add fruit on it!". Yeahhhh I'm glad I finally tried it out, because I could not create shaved ice to save my life! This one's called "Formosa Treasures". It had glutinous rice balls, taro, black rice, and red beans with condensed milk on top. I tried it with lychee flavoured shaved ice. It looks really gross, but tasted pretty good.

We later ate at some restaurant that I forgot the name of and found an ENGRISH mistake in the menu :

I ordered XO sauce seafood fried rice :

Craved another shaved ice, so this time, I tried a strawberry one :3

A new Japanese crepe place called Mazazu Crepe ( Mother's Crepe in Japanese ) opened and had to try that out too. I ate a crepe with red beans, glutinous rice balls, ice cream, and green tea powder on top. They jipped me by putting green tea powder instead of green tea ice cream like how it was shown on the menu..YAY! It was wrapped up nicely though :)

Some of the cream dripped onto my jeans. They all laughed because it resembles something else. My friends are a bit sick.

Anywho, I hauled some snacks and two of the new OPI Alice in Wonderland polishes!

Absolutely Alice, clear polish with blue and silver glitter! 2 coats

Mad as a Hatter, clear polish with multicolour glitter! 2 coats

I had a bit of trouble applying Mad as a Hatter. The brush kept on changing shape on me, becoming really flat if that makes sense. It's probably just my noobness with the lacquers. Removing these were a pain in the butt for me too. I use a cotton pad with polish remover on it and it took me about 2 minutes to remove one nail! The glitter really grips onto your nails. 3: But, that could also be my noobness at work .

Other than that, loovely colours! Very very glittery :D

All in all, I ate so much that day I felt like I was going to explode! Did my pain teach me a lesson? Yeah, but food tastes too good to pass off !

Hohoho that was how I spent my weekend! I hope your weekend was mighty dandy also!
I think it's too late to say that..oh well :)

Thanks everyone!
<3

I GOT A L FOR LOSER?

2010-01-20T22:33:00.000-08:00

Helllo gals!

I recently took a step into adulthood and took my Learner's test to start driving! The test consists of 50 multiple choice questions about driving, road safety, and such. You need 80% and over to pass the test ( max of 10 wrong ). I panicked so much in the beginning, which is what almost screwed me over. I'm the kind of person to read one multiple choice answer and assume it's right without even reading the rest of the choices when I'm panicked. Luckily, I passed with 80%!!

I proceeded to tell my friends that I got my L and most of them said :
"What?! They let you on the road?! They better watch out!"
Pshhh I'm sure my driving skills aren't that bad.. o__o I hope..
Now I have to dip into the Japan fund to pay for an instructor. woooo.
OR I'LL LEARN OUTSIDE THE LAW?! naw I'm too scared.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week :)

REST IN PEACE, MY DEAR EYELASHES & a lovely package!

2010-01-17T21:30:00.000-08:00

Good evening all!

It's been a while and I thought I'd get off my lazy bum and update!

Soo on Wednesday, I was curling my right lashes, minding my own business, when suddenly my eyelash curler slips out of my hand, pulling out basically half my lashes with it!! It hurt quite a bit, but not enough to cry. It felt really swollen too. I kept on touching my bald eyelid, which probably didn't help, but if anything, gave me an eye infection. :)

This is how my regular eye setup looks like (left eye)

Now THIS is the aftermath of the curler incident

Apparently, it takes about 10-12 weeks to grow back lashes. Yay for uneven lashes.

I also purchased some eyeshadows from Diana of Paper Doll Revenge! Looove the eyeshadows! Colours are lovely, and the best thing is that it's all very sparkly! She even threw in a mask and fake lashes! Such a coincidence! It's like she knew I was going to rip out my lashes!

VOV Castledew Diacut Eyes eyeshadow palette, Majolica Majorca Quad in Trick on Powder, Revlon lashes, Kuan Yuan Lian moisture mask :

Majolica swatches

Castledew swatches

My grandma also came back from her vacation to Hawaii and brought me back some macadamia nut goodies!

The chocolate macadamia nuts look like poopoo

I also noticed some new followers and a heap of comments! It might not seem like a big numero, but it's plenty for me! :) Thanks a bunch, gals!

WOOO 48 more days till my Japan trip! I can't believe the day's creeping up on me so quickly.

FAREWELL, LOVELIES! Until next time :D
<3

Guess I left my world in somebody's hands. !

2010-01-12T01:04:00.000-08:00

Goood evening all! It's been a while :)

A friend's seventeenth birthday lead me to a little dessert shop. They served parfaits, crepes, bubble tea, all the works. A little pricey for what it is, but it's pretty good stuff. :D

I ordered the matcha green tea parfait! For the note, only one of those is mine :3 It was quite the interesting parfait made with layers of green tea ice cream, corn flakes, a piece of cake, red beans, and glutinous rice balls. The rice balls were quite shock, but very tasty.

along with milk tea and pearls <3

Berries and cream parfait?

I also did a tiny haul :

origami paper, korres lip butters, 3d nail art pen, lacquers, mineralize skinfinish in by candlelight

a swatch of the skinfinish. it will work quite well as a highlight colour :)

korres lip butters. they're very moisturizing and also can be used as cheek tints! i probably won't use all three, so maybe i'll save one for a future giveaway? ;D

OPI's Tickle my France-y, a very pale, nude purple! I used my 3d nail art pen and failed horribly to create anything artistic. In case you can't tell, those are hearts on my nails ;_; I'll get more pro!

Sephora by OPI's Absinthe Makes the Heart, a deep green with sparkly glitter!

I also recieved the Alice in Wonderland keychain mirror I won from Anna of Much Love's giveaway! It's so cute! :D

I feel like I didn't have much input in this post. I stayed up till 6:30 am yesterday watching Desperate Housewives! Looove that show! Too bad one hour of sleep isn't enough to survive 6 hours of school :)

Farewell and thank you!
<3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2010-01-01T23:11:00.000-08:00

Helllo fellow bloggers!

2009 is finally finished and it's the year 2010 now! I hope you all had a lovely new years eye/new year! I honestly can't believe a decade has flashed before my eyes already! Even 2009 felt like it only lasted 6 seconds, but that's probably just me. :3 My new year's resolution is to stop spending so much moolah! I'm also saving up for my Japan trip in March, so spending as little moolah as possible is a must! What's your new year's resolution? :)

Today, I celebrated my friend's birthday! I made him a cake for his birthday, but being the smart little girl I am, I forgot to grease the cake pan TWICE. The cake stuck to the pan & I had to bang really hard on the bottom of the pan to get the cake out. Good news is that the cake did come out, but it split in half and some of it crumbled. SCORE! I fixed it with icing, but I ate the cake crumbles so I couldn't fill the holes with the original cake.

How did I fix this predicament? I used hot dog bun to fill in the holes and then covered the cake in frosting so you couldn't even tell I used hot dog bread. :)
Birthday boy didn't notice so we're goooood :D

I now leave you with a picture of the night:

drew on birthday boy's face with frosting !

I also want to thank everyone who has supported my blog! I started this blog not too long ago & was kinda iffy about it, but everyone here in the blogger community is aweeesome sauce! All your great comments and deciding to follow me really means a lot! Expect awesomeness in 2010 because there's more to come :)

TTFN!

Lip stoof haul!

2009-12-28T00:40:00.000-08:00

Helllo!

I just wanted to share a little little haul before I hit the mattress! I've been addicted to lipsticks lately!

3 Revlon lippies & 6 Pure lippies :) Pure is a popular brand of cosmetics in Europe and was brought here, but didn't really kick up on the popularity scale here, so it was buy one get one free! On top of that, all Pure cosmetics were 50% off! SCCCORE!

1~Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute
2~Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushing Mauve
3~Mauveglow
4~Mulberry Sparkle
5~Strawberry Ice
6~Sweet Orchid
7~Chili Pepper
8~Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Lipcolor in Nude

#3-7 are the Pure lipsticks :)
I'm really loving the Pure lipsticks! The formula reminds me of Nars and it's way cheaper too. I'm not sure if i like the Colorstay Lipcolor though. It has a weird smell to it, like nasteh frozen yogurt or something . . Also is a little stickyish when it dries. A couple of em look kinda similar on, but I think the colours are pretty nonetheless. LOVE BERRY HAUTE AND MULBERRY SPARKLE!!

also scored some nice earmuffs. so soft~

These are basically my boxing day buys, including a pair of mesh leggings and an adidas hoodie. The crowds were crazy and shovey. Did you guys brave the sales?! I especially LOVE how ladies shove you over to grab stoof. It's a lovely time of the year, yes? :DDDDDDD

Thank you guys for reading :)
<3

A lovely belated Christmas .

2009-12-26T23:37:00.000-08:00

Good day to you all!

It has been a while since I posted anything, mainly because my brain kicked into winter vacation mode & refused to do anything other than eat and sleep.

I recently tried out this new hot pot place called "Little Fatty Cow" that opened a couple blocks down from my pad. I made reservations even though I didn't think it would be busy. Good thing I did though, because it was PACKED! It sucked big time that there was a 2 hour limit that begins when the first person sits at the table, so if you ever decide to go eat there, make sure your whole group goes in together, unlike me. .

i love my fish eyes OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

love how there's a logo printed on the plates and utensils!

my meat harvest!

you need a good wrist for hot potting

Apparently, I was "out of control" by constantly putting food into the pot. Everyone kept saying "Lorelle, calm down just callllmmmm down!!". AIYAHH I was calm! It's called HUNGER! It was heelarious nonetheless :3

I also got a package from Mona of Le Petite Jewelry! They're lovely! The package consisted of the Snow Romance Bracelet and the Winter Blues Bracelet! The blues bracelet broke, so she helped me fix it up! She even shortened them to fit my freakishly small wrists! This photograph honestly does not do the pieces any justice. Definetly check out her creations!

I hope you all had a very, merry Christmas!

I'm loving Holiday Glow & Shim-merry Chic!

KIDS CLOTHING <3

2009-11-26T21:25:00.000-08:00

wooooooot! second post of this little blog :)

Since winter is coming up and the temperature has mass dropped here, it was time to buy an adequate coat for the season. Dragged some buddies downtown to go on the great search, but alas no gold.

We then decide to go into Gap and I drift over to the kid's section for fun. Look what I found :D

prettty good, no? It came to a total of 90 something, but since I signed up for something called the Sprize card, I got 30% off, so it came to around 60 ish? SCOOORE!

When I brought it home, me and my mother had a nice conversation ::

L: mommm! guess where i got my jacket!
M: obviously a kid's store. .
L: how'd you know?!
M: there's so many pockets on it, how can it not be from a kid's store?!

HOMEWORK TIME!
