update on life, recent purchases..and the dog!

So I got my golden blue nudy lens from HoneyColor.com!! And the verdict? They look just like my fresh look turquoise contacts when I took that picture of them. It looks alil freaky in my opinion, but I like how it comes out in pictures!! The olive wing series blue and violet are also cool, but I love the olive wing "blue" the most!!! It really stands out and just looks great with my natural hair color (Dark brown/reddish tint in sunlight=burgandy) or when I wear my dark(1b/2) color wigs!! I might invest in two more other contacts too...(I know I know..wtf am I splurging again?!)

I was looking at the old Adult series from EOS, and...thinking about getting them in "Blue" "Green" and possibly "brown"
Then the Angel Series from Geo(specifically blue)
Nudy Blue and the dolleye series from EOS brown(looks like a more effective version of the Olive Wing "brown"

But since I'm going to Japan in 3 weeks, I want to see if I can try to find these on the ground instead of paying a lot of shipping at other sites. Its always a win or lose situation with register airmail parcels.

So update


Now...back to...THE DOG!!
So we meet him on Sunday, and it was love at first sight!!! My father actually said "lets take him"!! So the verdict? DENIED!! Since we never owned a dog before, we were not the ideal situation for Bandit, and as much as it sucked to hear that, we understood what they were telling us in the end. So.....
WE GOT A PUPPY INSTEAD!! So I'm proud to welcome the new edition to our family

Kirara(kiki for shortyeah..I got the name from Inuyasha, SO WHAT?!)
She's 75% husky and 25% wolf(I don't see it..but her dad who is supposedly half wolf was freakin huge)
She has one brown eye and a blue eye "sorta like Bandit..but she's black/gray/white in terms of her color coating".
It took us 2 hours to get there due to bad mapquest directions, but it was worth it to be in puppy heaven!!! We met the puppies parents, and the father seemed very friendly..NOT to mention "HUGE!!" but the mom was so tiny in comparison.
So when I started playing with the puppies, all of them were cute, and we were really gunning for a male, but all the males didn't like being held except for one who started to warm up and be more playful towards the endKirara however stood out the most to us. She was very shy at first, but had no qualms about being held. When we saw her with her siblings she would be like a wall flower, but when provoked she was able to hold her own. We weren't ready to take her home just yet since we figured she'd be okay to go home when she was 8 weeks old (she was currently 6 weeks old),even though it seemed Kiki was more than ready! She was following my mom to her car when it was time to go lol. So we just did a down payment and will go to pick her up this Friday!!

I just hope she gets along with her big brother felix =)

And I discovered Oatmeal MAKES ME LOOSE WEIGHT!
BIKINI BODY HERE I COME!!

good news and not so good news?

So I spoke to my boss and I can have July 29 & July 30 off prior to my departure to Japan!!
This has me even more excited since Im now considering if I should leave that Thursday instead and surprise my bf at his restaurant!! But..I might not do this...cause I work that Thursday..and would have to rush home then rush to the airport....and I wanna look pretty...soo...NOT HAPPENING! But...the issue right now is ticket prices..
my bf will transfer the money to my account on Friday, but its like
I don't want to spend so much on a ticket (flying to Japan is no fuckin joke!! I remember only having to pay around $1,300 back in the day) but I'am alil wary now of buying these cheap tickets from cheapoair & onetravel. They're the only two sites I see that show cheap tickets to Nagasaki for around $1,600 but people always warn that they are not reliable!! I never had an issue with them when I booked a ticket before for Hisao back in 2010, but I dunno...*sighs* So should I spend alil extra for security or stress myself out till I'm actually on the plane cause my ticket went through? And its not like travelocity is a saint. I remember my horrible experience when I purchased my ticket, only to find out two months before I went to Japan, that it never went through! So I booked another flight(a couple of dollars extra) and what happens when I get to Haneda airport, taking my time to the check out lane at 6:15pm, cause my *new connecting flight didn't depart till 7:30pm? The ticket lady tells me my plane is to leave at 6:30 PM!! WHICH WAS MY OLD TICKET TIME!!! ARGH!! So yeah...just sorta weighing my options till Friday..

And now for the biggest stress of all....
Since I will be moving, I was talking to my mom about getting a dog for my dad since my cat will also be going with me. I don't want to talk about my family business on this blog...but lets just say, having a pet helps my dad, and with felix gone..I'm afraid it can throw him off. So I think a dog would be wonderful!! I was browsing online trying to get to this site, when I found this dog on this rescue animal website!!!


He's really beautiful,my friends say he looks evil, and his story made me really want to adopt him!When I read up on him , I found out he was saved after he was set to be euthanized at the animal shelter! I also read that he was due to undergo hiptransplant surgery yesterday, and he was up for adoption for over a year, so I really wanted to get him a home with my folks!! So far his profile said he was great with dogs and people, he's loveable, and very affectionate!! I already put in my application..and after impatiently waiting for a call, I called his foster care home and found out they were going to call me later tonight=/. I feel alil bad for going behind the rescue dog site, but he did have that extre info up...and said to contact him too sooOoo...not my fault?
Sadly the person's accent was too thick so I had a hard time understanding him over the phone so I had no idea what he was saying half the time....
All I could get from him was that

A)the dog would have to take medication for 3 months and that would cost $60
B)His owners abandonned him.
...I think he siad it was house damage related. But when I asked if that was the reason his nails were removed, he said no..so this leads me to the confusion of what did they disown him for??!
C)something else about costs which would cost $6,000
D)He's never lived with a cat before, so he's not sure how he'd act...

So yeah...not being able to understand his foster care dad was really pissing me off and stressing me out..so to me it felt like I came off as not caring or comprehending the responsibilities at hand. Its true I didn't comprehend the responsibilities, cause I couldn't understand what he was saying, but yeah..overwhelming!!
Regardless of how I came across, he agreed to meet with me on Sunday(I forgot if its this weekend or next weekend..but I feel it will be next weekend),sometime after 2:30pm...
Where?! I DON'T KNOW! THANKS AGAIN TO WONDERFUL ACCENT!! But he said I could e-mail him, and I will get the name of the place again....
My mom feels we can get the dog since she feels he's ready to get rid of him=/.
And then I feel bad for my mom..
at first she was like "sure" but now she's like "NOO!!..I DUNNO!?!"
Since I'll be gone for a year,or two..but now a days I wanna push it to a year, I admit thats a lot of responsibility or her...and I don't want to stress her out...so I plan to talk to her more tonight about her true feelings....
I just hope he can also bring the dog to my house so I can see if he growls and goes crazy if he sees felix or is nice and lovey dovey (okay I know lovey dovey is never gonna happen..but I would like to see how docile he is...with small animals)
The perfect scenario is the dog gets along with felix and vice versa, we leave for a year, come back, get a job in houston, live close to my parents, and take the dog back but let him sleep over with my folks every now and than for my dad..Or I move back in with my parents!! XD (my parents and I get along very well..so the need for my own space was never an issue)
And now im wondering if I should just get a puppy?That way Felix can whoop his ass into shape in terms of (IM THE BOSS)...but I really want to give this dog a home =(
Well we'll see what happens Sunday...



And weight update?...I hate my body...I gained back all the fat I lost in terms of muscle...LE SIGH!!!

Mother's day follow up + funny animal story & facial stuff

So for mother's day I got my mama some Shea Moisture and Curls products since she is now natural + some body soap and lotion!! It cost me $109.00 in total for her, but I also bought some shea moisture body soap + lotion for m'self...and that flat iron I spoke about before from conair...and facial lotions/cleansers...
Ugh! I just want my skin to be more smoother/clearer!! I hate how I still have this blemish from 4 weeks ago!!! And that I have dark circles under my eyes and mini lines T_____T. I know I should sleep better..but ugh, I want them gone!!
So I purchased the Yes to Blueberries:Eye Firming Treatment
As well as most of the entire line of products:The cleasner,Facial Towelettes,Overnight Hydrating Cream , and Daily Moisturizer.
I have noticed improvement with my nose and the blackheads they accumulate. They have went down significantly since I started using the St'Ive's Apricot scrub. I still get lil pimples around my jawline here and there though -_-.
Also since I purchased the B&C Skin Tight In-Growth Hair & Razor Bump Creme, my ingrown hairs on my neck have vanished!! I mean, I still get them, but they're easier to pull out and I don't get horrible pimple infected ingrown hairs!! So now I'm not afraid to get rid of my neck hair!! I was also debating if I should invest in the No!No! hair removal
that I saw advertised on Tv. They have a 60-day risk free trial, and if I like it, I have to pay two installments of $89.95. I have until tonight to decide since thats when the trial ends...ugh...I blew so much money already...I feel I shouldn't look at anything else!!


And I'm eyeing this new wig at LHbotique!! THE COLORS THE STYLE!! MUST HAVE IT!!!

Now for the funny animal story!! For staff development day, we went to the Safari Resort Ranch in Richmond, TX that had some peacocks walking around. My natural affinity for animals was determined to have one of them eat from my hand! So during our break, I went back out with my co-workers with some cookies&chips (RELAX!! THE COOKIES WERE RAISIN FLAVORED WITH NO CHOCOLATE IN IT!) and started feeding one of the males. He successfully ate from my hand when I noticed another male around the corner. So I started feeding him when I heard a "CA CCAAWWW", and out of nowhere I saw the other peacock male I fed before come storming over toward him. Lol, this startled the new male making him fly into my face and my co-workers running away screaming. Lol, apparently the old male didn't want to share me with anyone..how sweet?

p.s: Pissed my trainer cancelled on me today!! I was starting to see results, but our days are always fuckin off!! MY mother and I plan to confront him on whats going on
>(. He pretty much taught us how to workout, so at this point we should get a refund!!But he pushes us so well..ARGH!

Good news!!

First,I have to give a shout out to my one of my dear friends, Glo, who will be stuyding abroad in Seoul, Korea for a year!!I don't want to get into my friends whole life story, but long story short:It has always been her dream to go to Korea...so I'm happy that she finally gets a chance to do so, and I hope this experience for her is rewarding in many ways possible towards her future. Hopefully I can visit her before she leaves as well as see her in Korea!! Now if only we can develop a youtube channel when we bitch about life ...thats my ultimate dream for my friend and I

Now...second good news!!
My boyfriend said *Onechan wants to visit America in September with him =)
Onechan is what my boyfriend's mom told me to call her lol
I really hope she comes! I miss her so much!!!! I haven't seen her since the summer of 2008=(. Sadly I can't really communicate with her due to a language barrier, but she would still talk to me in Japanese regardless, and it did help my comprehension greatly. She also reminded me somewhat of my mom..they're both funny and don't give a damn about what other people think. I'am truly grateful that my boyfriend's mother accepts me even though we can't communicate much. I told my mother about this and she said she'd be more than happy to let Hisao's mother stay with us...which has me debating my trip to Japan in August.

Lately I've been thinking...why go visit Nagasaki in August when I'm Japan bound in October(2 months later...). True,my bf planned to pay for my ticket so it wouldn't cost me a thing, but since I really want to see onechan and want her to meet my family, I feel its best my boyfriend use that money to purchase a ticket for his mother instead..and we just wait to see one another in September. This would also enable me to travel to Nyc in time to see Gloria before she leaves. I know, how horrible of a person I am to ditch my bf in hopes I can go to Nyc for a vacation to see my family and friends XD...but it does make more sense to me, and I yet to find a way to explain that to him. *sighs* I don't want him to feel bad, but it is time we start acted like adults and make wise decisions...
Yes, I want to see my boyfriend....
the last time we saw each other was last September of 2010...
but the way I see it....we're going to see each other for a month, and than we leave together for Japan to finally be together in the same damn country/city...
I won't see my friends or family for a long time, hell I haven't seen them since I left nyc...
So I think in the end, its all fair for me to just forget my trip to Japan for the summer, go to nyc, and get ready for my bf to spend time with me for a month.
It sucks, but I really want to see onechan and let her have a nice vacation in America. I think she would be very happy if her son paid for her to go to travel...so guess we're going to have an adult talk very soon =X

In other news with my workout...My trainer really knows how to abuse me, but alas!!
MY JIGGLY LEGS AREN'T JIGGLING MUCH ANYMORE!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Sadly I am now walking like an old lady...*sighs* I don't know how I can face him on Saturday, but I'll do my best!!!
BIKINI BODY!! I FEEL YOU!!

Goodbye Vivienne Westwood shoes

Size 10 my ass, they fit like a 9.5!!
These shoes were so comfy and cute, but I could not stand my heels hanging over the bloody thing!! I really debated if I should return them, but I decided I don't want to wear shoes that make me feel self-conscious or hurt my ankles!!(Oddly enough, this only happened on the left side of my feet)
So I plan to purchase a different heel that will correspond with my dress more due to the ribbon like style. They also come in a 10.5-11 so I'll buy both to see which one fits better.

MY uncle is currently staying with my fam and I
*sighs* stress....
I just like my current lifestyle and don't like changing it when its out of the ordinary. When it comes to my family and I, it was always set up like..they never stayed with us! We all lived in the same state, so when it was time to go home..everyone went home! So its really uncomfortable for me to have family stay with me for more than 6-8 hours!!! No more walking around in my undewear, and periodically weighing myself on the scale a la nude!! >(.I just hopes he finds a job soon and moves out before April!!

My diet on the other hand? Yesterday was my last pigout day, I am just going to eat salad, spinach, chicken or fish when possible. I have been working out on the treadmill (I can jog for 20minutes straight now) and I plan to do it everyother day so my body doesn't get used to it. I really need to loose some pounds, when I put on my old jeans they felt tight!! (T___T)
