US Thanksgiving

So its going to be a while after this post before I post anything, probably some random posts here and there. I'm changing up the layout of this blog so it'll be a little more eye pleasing and fun :D

Yep Yep so I was in the states for almost 2 weeks and spent thanksgiving with Ashley. I usually don't really drink when I'm here in Canada because its so expensive, I think I had at least one alcoholic drink every day while I was there, we finished a bottle of wine between three people lol.

I hope this post makes you hungry!

 Breakfast at the Tomahawk in North Vancouver
I can't resist Eggs Benedict 

 Steve's Breakfast at the Tomahawk

 I don't know what this place is called but it was SO GOOOOOOOD

 Sausage and fennel flat bread

 Pulled Pork Tacos

 Clams O_O SO GOOD

 The waiter kept bringing us so much bread.. lol

 Pan seared scallops with cauliflower puree

 Fresh Calamari 
 We even got complimentary sweet crackers

Steve got a burger

Its no wonder I've gained weight... lol I'll probably gain even more! graargh.

Anyways what am I changing on this blog? I'll probably get an appropriate header, I don't like how the layout for the photos are so I'll see what I can do to fix it so its easier to read, so much scrolling...

Back Home

Oh god that was the longest car ride of my whole entire life.
My mom is so fucking psycho, I have no idea what the fuck is going on in that mind of hers but I think its happening in my dad's as well.

I haven't been home in almost like two weeks and my mom is going on about how my cousin Tiffany is so much better than me and how she's so good to her mother. I'm like she's only good to her mother because her mother doesn't shit talk about her daughter behind her back nor does she belittle her in front of other people. Plus she has had a way better upbringing unlike mine, I'm sure if our home situations switched I would actually love my parents.

If my mom was home all day to cook and clean for me and help me do homework and teach me things I would probably love her. Unlike mine who would leave me and Ashley in the car for a few hours in a parking lot casino to gamble, steal my lucky red pocket money I would get during Chinese New Year or start calling me a slut at 10 years old for going to my friends birthday/slumber party because she didn't want to waste money buying them a birthday gift. My dad thinks she's still a good mom, I said no and he got mad at me and said I don't know what I'm talking about, if your adult child tells you your mom is fucked up maybe you should listen to them instead of doing whatever is convenient for you.

I really do resent my cousins. They were just given so much compared to me and my sister I find it really unfair, I really do not believe in god if he would give children to such despicable people. My dad is not much better I guess they do rub off on each other, he should've divorced my mom years ago but he said to me "if we had divorced you guys would be messed up because you wouldn't have two parents" O_O BLARGHARGHGHHGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It pisses me off when people say to me "you should be nice to your mom/treat your mom better" and I'm like yeah yeah... but I feel like they have no fucking right to say that. Its easy to tell people to do that because you don't have to fucking deal with it. Your not the one living with someone who would break into your room and steal money or stuff and destroy your expensive clothes. Its easier just to say shit but if you don't have experience first hand about what I'm talking about then I'm not going to fucking listen to you.

**********

In other news I have to go back to the states again soon because me and Ashley are going to Hawaii :D I'm excited to go but not excited to at the same time because I'm so body conscious I have low self esteem because I've gained weight >.< *sigh* have to start to work out, no bikini photos! LOL

Black Friday Haul

By now I bet tons of you have seen a billion posts on black friday, here's mine. I didn't really buy much clothes this past Black Friday, The stores I went to were so packed I didn't really want to try on clothes which I regret because I bought a top that doesn't fit >.<

I did go crazy at Target though but most of it is stuff I need to replace at home.

Lets get this started:

Finally got some Nail Polish :D
Sally Hansen $2.64 Each

 Stocked up on some Flats
The Brown and Zebra pair were $14.99 and the Black plastic capped ones were $19.99

 I need to get a new hair dryer because when Steve moves out 
he has to take it because its his mom's O_O

But I got a waaaaaaay better one, I wanted an Ionic one so it reduces frizz plus this one has a better motor :D

Conair $29.99

 A comparison on the two
what a difference! I'm already happy with the purchase even before I used it based on the quality lol

 Finally got my hands on some hot rollers :D
I'll have to play around with them a bit to get the look I want
I chose these because the clips also get hot too

Conair Hot rollers with Hot Clips $24.99

Bought this top at Aritzia for $75 I think it was orignally around $150???
I'll have to find the tag and see, will update

Silky tank top from Aritzia $35 it was only 10% off the original price.

This is the top that doesn't fit, I have a top that looks exactly the same and in a medium size the only difference is its pink. So I figured it was the exact same so I got this in a medium and didn't try it on.

SO SMALL!! WTF, ITS THE SAME BRAND TOO. Why would they fucking make it smaller? when it says on the tag that it says medium? wtf!!!

I'll have to lose like 15 pounds to fit in it >.<

I also got Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains
 in three different shades: Romantic, Rendezvous and Cherish
$8.39 Each

Stupid London Drugs sells them for fucking 10.99 O_O

I kind of wish I bought more clothes but I think I'll just order stuff online anyways instead of going to the damn store and usually I'll look online before I buy clothes anyways, I don't know why I'm so anti-social about it lol. I don't think most of this was on sale anyways LOL but I don't care I was going to buy all this stuff regardless anyways.

Before I go back up to Canada I still have to buy some shampoo and conditioner and probably a hair mask. I think I'll order a nice haul from Sasa soon :D I need to change up my routine.

Preview: Online Shopping Haul

WOO I'm at Ashley's place, I've had such good sleeps since I've been here :D

I had totally forgot that it was black friday this week so I'm probably going to go crazy lol.
I've already done some online shopping :D :D I haven't gotten the stuff yet (which I will do another post on) so I'm not sure how the quality is.

I've gotten some stuff at Asos before and the quality was good so I'm not worried about that. I haven't gotten anything from Mexyshop before but I have a feeling its like H & M quality and I can't put anything in the dryer lol.

ASOS:

I loved cheesie's outfit when she went to Emoda's Spring/Summer runway show and this outfit was close to what she was wearing sort of.. lol but this dress is cute anyways

Me and Ashley are going to Hawaii in a few weeks and I needed a bathing suit and I wanted a one piece.

I also got a bikini but I think I'll look super fat in it lol
I got an email after I ordered about getting an extra 25% off O_O fuck lol

I discovered this website on facebook because my friend Liked it. Sorry I couldn't save the photos properly so they're kind of weird lol.

I had a choice of the black one or the white one and I liked the white one waay better :D
I really like the oversized/dress sweater tops
There's also a red version of this but I thought the dark one would match more things and I don't want to stand out that much

Got this oversized stripe sweater too


 Another knit sweater/dress

 I kind of regret getting this pom pom hat but I'll see how it looks when I put it on

I got this long and thin cardigan, I have a grey one that looks similar to this so I was excited to get it plus it was like $13 :D
When I receive the products I'll do another post about the quality and how accurate it looks to the photo :D

Funeral

The funeral was yesterday.

I woke up at fucking 5AM because my mom's an inconsiderate bitch and fucking turned on all the lights. My aunt was like "why are you up so early?" and then I pointed to my mom and was like WTF lol.

My mom kept ridiculing my aunts outfit saying "You look like an insane person everyone is going to think you are stupid and that you can't dress yourself" Everyone was like what the hell its her husbands funeral, she can wear whatever she feels like. My aunt is wearing a dark pant suit, its not black but she can wear whatever she wants. My mom on the other hand is wearing black yoga pants with a black dress and bright brown/yellow winter boots O_O

I've been given the task by my aunt to remove my mom from the funeral if she goes ape shit lol. I'm like oh fuck she's going to cause a bigger scene. I have my older cousin Andrew to help me with that, he said to me "don't worry I'll knock her out if anything happens" LOL

This is apparently going to be a catholic/military/hawaiin style funeral. So it should be interesting to say the least. I think the last time I went to a funeral was probably more than 10 years ago as far as I can remember, could be sooner but I really can't remember.

My mom's cousins arrived from San Francisco 10 minutes before we left for the church. I've only met the one and he's really nice, he likes Steve a lot. I think my mom was trying to get them to give her money because she was clinging on to them hardcore.

**********

At the church I helped a little to set up. I cried when they wheeled in my uncles body. It was kind of weird, I haven't seen him in 20 years and I hardly remember him but I still cried.

Beautiful church

It was quite long the ceremony, my cousin Stephen did the rosary prayer thing (I'm not catholic so I'm not sure what the actual term for this is) my other cousin did the second reading and then this guy sang and the priest performed the ceremony. There was one uncle that kept taking photos with flash on and we all thought it was inappropriate lol.

My stupid mom talked the whole time and I had to whisper yell at her lol. When they moved him outside there were two air force people there, why is my english so bad? they folded up the flag in a cool way and gave it to my aunt and there was a random guy in the distance in uniform playing a horn.

They are awesome

There were two rows of seating at the outdoor part of the ceremony for immediate family and my mom decides to take a seat there (it was for my aunt and her two kids and the brothers and sisters of my uncle who passed away) which left one person standing and I was so pissed off, I said to her that seat is not for you its for his family to which I received a reply "My leg hurts, I have cancer, I'm going to die soon) *rolls eyes* I could tell my aunt was pissed at her. But overall it was a really nice ceremony.

**********

Yaaay! I leave today and I don't have to share a room with my psycho mom! I hate her with a passion.

Soon to Seattle

I know I haven't been posting up stuff regarding skincare/clothes and stuff but I'll probably be buying tons of random stuff from the States so I should be doing a huge post on it soon. I haven't bought anything yet, if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them, I'll probably just go to Target and find stuff that I can't buy in Canada.

**********

The funeral is tomorrow and I leave on Tuesday and I can't wait. The first few days were ok.. my mom was being psycho and shit talking about me to my aunt who was like wtf... and she told her she wanted to see her husbands dead body which we were all like WTF you have no right, so inappropriate.

My cousins all mentioned someone called dai dai, apparently its a ghost spirit that lives in my mom's body... wtf lol. Later on my aunt pulled me aside and said to me "I know a lot of people don't believe in dai dai because it sounds really retarded but you know a lot of people who "meet" dai dai will believe" I don't know man, I'm really skeptical about this lol I do believe in ghosts and spirits and stuff but this just sounds so farfetched. My mom lies and manipulates people all the time so why should I believe this?

My two cousins from Denmark arrived yesterday and my oldest cousin brought his wife and baby. His brother is really really weird, I hope in a sarcastic way or he's totally into incest... O_O LOL. He told me he hates his brothers wife but I actually think she's funny and their baby is sooo cute!!!

ADORABLE!!

All of my aunts neighbors keep bringing food over as well as my cousins friends. I can tell their family is quite loved by the community. My mom was like "wow people here are so nice, why would they bring food here? they're so nice" I was kind of like really? wtf lol I told her not to expect that when she dies because many people know her as the psychotic Chinese woman lol plus she just terrorizes people instead of being nice to them. My aunt hasn't been eating much or sleeping much, she keeps saying she's not eating because she has to watch her diabetes and that she's taking sleeping pills.

They freaking made me share a room with my mom and I was so pissed off because I don't want her touching my shit and she fucking snores so loud. I actually made a video lol I'll post it later but here's a photo of her sleeping in the car.

She wore so much padding and a fanny pack to the airport >.<

I think out of all my cousins I'm the outcast because none of my aunts talk to my mom. I have them on facebook and stuff but we don't really talk. We even witnessed my mom beating up a pomegranate yesterday. We all agreed my mom is the craziest out of all the sisters and then the one in France LOL.

She stabbed a straw into it after she beat it up to drink the juice lol

 I haven't really done much since I've been here. I think my dad fucking tricked me into going with my stupid mom. I'm going to freak out at him when I get home and be like you douchebag!!

I think if I want to see my cousins again I'd rather see them one on one than with my mom because she is too insane. Colorado is a nice state, when it sunny its quite warm. I just don't like it when its windy and things are just too spread out for me. It reminds me of Edmonton here lol because its so flat and dry. I really need to get my hair cut, the ends are soooo dry and I have so many split ends. I think I'll get a hair cut in Seattle, probably nothing fancy just a trim.

*sigh* I'm really tired and I have to shower because there are 15 people in the house and I don't want to rush tomorrow. My mom's having a weird conversation about when people die they go into their/their spouses wombs and get reborn -___-' wtf lol

Off to Seattle in two days, I can't wait :D

Arrived in Colorado

What a long day holy smokes.

This morning I woke up at 9AM, I wanted to sleep in longer but then my friend decided to call me for some reason, I can't recall what it was about but we had a 48 minute conversation lol but it was good I had to get up and run some errands anyways.

So I went to the bank today, got some shampoo and bought some travel sized toothpaste as well as some travel insurance. I also had a short lunch with my two friends to catch up, I really wish I didn't have to go but fuck my freaking dad was making me.

So I went home, finished packing and then we headed down to the Seattle airport. At the border my mom airily says to me "I came to this border crossing last month" I was like wtf? because she didn't have a passport and she says "they detained me for 3 hours because I didn't have a passport or ID" and then starts laughing....

Along the way my mom kept bitching about how I shouldn't talk to Steve when we were driving down, I was like wtf we chat all the time he's not a shitty driver that's easily distracted. Speaking about shitty drivers OMG Americans! if you want to drive faster change fucking lanes. This douchebag was tailgating us for 10 minutes and Steve's like "I'm driving the speed limit, if you want to speed change fucking lanes" There was no one else in the other lanes so he wouldn't even have to signal or anything if he wanted to. The asshole then changes lanes and starts flippin out at us. I think I can get a video of this guy because Steve has a black box LOL. I hope he gets murdered.

The traffic was horrendous! we almost missed our flight we arrived 45 minutes before the plane took off. I was glad we were able to make it but my stupid mom got us in trouble with airport security because she fucking wanted to skip the line WTF and I was like no come here and line up and she's like no! WTF baaaaahhh! and the guy was like WTF are you doing? >.< NEVER TRAVELING WITH HER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

Then on the plane.. we got to sit separately (hurray!) she sat in the row in front of me and then the whole time she decides to pretend not to know how to speak a word of english and tells the flight attendant:

Flight attendant: Hi, you are seated at a emergency exit seat, if we have an emergency I'll have to ask you for assistance.

Mom: I no speak english but my daughter is sitting right behind me

Flight attendant: Ok.. your going to have to move because if we have a situation you will probably cause more problems

O_O wtf and then when they came around to offer us coffee she freaking tells the flight attendant to ask me if she wants cream and sugar in her fucking coffee I'm like how the hell do I know? (at this point she's now sitting 2 rows in front of me)

but now we're here in Denver to be specific Laffayette (I have no idea how to spell it and I am dead tired) my aunt seems to be holding up ok but she keeps mentioning that she wants to just end her life T_T and my girl cousin speaks to my mom all funny lol like "your good at stuff" "your really good at doing these things" nei hai ho lek ah LOL she speaks to her like she would with a child. My older cousin is kind of quiet but nice. Let's see how the rest of the weekend goes.

I want to leave already not because of my family its just I don't really know anyone here and I just like the comfort of home.

I think I should start a crazy chinese mom diary on this blog lol

Pre-Vacation Prep

Meeeoooow

Preparations are under way for my unexpected visit to the US tomorrow.

I really did not want to meet my cousins as adults this way but I am going to their father's funeral T_T it was a really unexpected tragedy and happened sudden so I want to be there at least to say hello and offer my support. But I would've preferred to have went by myself than with my mom.

**********

I don't think I've mentioned this before but my mom is a psychopath... lol. She doesn't think like a normal person. She's really manipulative and a compulsive liar. Plus she has gambling issues and dementia but we'll get into that later LOL (true story).

We had to get my mom a new passport to go to the funeral (in Colorado) My stupid parents don't know how to fill out the freaking form so I had to do it and it turns out my dad gave me the wrong form. Its that time of year where everyone is traveling so they decide to renew or get their passport last minute >.< so there's a huge line up.

I had to wait about 40 minutes for the pre-screening passport form line three times! because my dad gave me the wrong form. Then I got Steve to fill out the right form at home and get my mom's ID's and signature and bring it back because I didn't want to go home and then come back. You know when you sign a government document and there's a box for you to sign and there's a grey space that says "void if written in grey area" my mom had to sign that fucking paper like 10 times because she's fucking stupid and kept signing in there!

Anyways I waited in the line the second time for 40 minutes (again) and then they told me for express pick up my mom would have to be there. I was so pissed off they could've told me that the first time and when I told my mom that we'd have to go on the Tuesday to the passport office she was all pissed off "you did it wrong on purpose because you don't want me to be happy" so stupid wtf!! You think I wanted to wait 2 hours in the fucking line and waste my time on purpose just to make you unhappy? ridiculous!

Then on Tuesday we went downtown to the passport office. I told her which direction to drive and when we got close I told her to look out for a parking space. What does she do? drive as slow as possible downtown with traffic behind her and when we were supposed to stop at a red light she keeps driving and almost kills 5 people until I yelled for her to stop. It went like this:

Me: STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!
Mom: Shut your mouth, you want me to fucking get into a car accident?
Me: You will get into a car accident if you don't fucking stop at a red light!
Mom: You don't fucking know anything

Good job Canadian Government for giving back her drivers license you really did a huge favor to the public instead of giving her a fucking memory test maybe you should've given her a standard driving test wtf.

Anyways we found a parkade downtown to park in. My mom likes to pretend that she's handicapped when she goes to the doctor and acts super retarded because she thinks the government will give her money, instead they gave her a handicapped parking thing. So we were looking for a space and then she goes "Oh there's a space" and points to the only handicapped space that can only fit a small sedan (we have a fucking venza) I told her no because the car is way too big and if she did park there it would block anyone that wants to park in the parkade or anyone that wants to leave it, then she freaked out. Bleh.

At the passport office she tried to budge the line and told the security officer "my leg hurts, I can't stand for very long" *rolls eyes* then she starts bitching to me about how I should've gotten her passport done earlier. I told her "this is the last time I'm helping you with anything" fuck.

We finally get to the counter and the guy asks me the general questions like when are your travel dates, who is this for, etc etc... I'm answering them and my mom goes "my sister just die I need go US very fast" and then I told the guy we would prefer express service if she qualifies and then my mom goes "Shut your mouth, don't fucking say anything" the guy then is like WTF because he totally understood her (she said it in chinese) lol, bipolar much?

Anyways we got everything done and on the way out of the parking lot we had to pay and then my mom freaked out because she thought it was too expensive. It was $13, its expensive because its downtown (I paid).  She freaked out at the guy and said that because the parking lot attendant was of Indian decent he purposely overcharged us... blah and then she started swearing at him and she demanded that I give her the receipt so she can sue him. DA FUCK. I am not looking forward with traveling with her.

I wished that instead of my uncle passing my mom would've went instead. But as my friend says "evil never dies"

**********

Well I've never been to Colorado before so it will be an interesting experience, I think I will purposely make it so I don't sit with my mom on the plane LOL.

In about 3 weeks (give or take?) I will have a real vacation to Hawaii with Ashley :D Should be interesting since I've never actually traveled anywhere with my sister lol. I was trying to lose weight for the past few months and then I abruptly got off the pill and then gained tons back, WTF!!
I really didn't expect this trip either, I feel really bad about it.

Bleh this post is really lacking any photos, I'm just going to put random photos of food up. hahaha.

 Me and my friend found this place randomly downtown.
I think its called the noodle bar? or something..
we were heading to Japadog and walked past this place and was like
"oh we haven't been there before, and there's lots of people"

This is their seafood curry noodle in soup LOL I have no idea what its called but I know it had the word seafood in it. It has fish cakes in it, 
was pretty good but I was so full already so I couldn't finish it.

 I think from now on I'm just going to order two sides because that's what my friend did.
This is eggplant with soy sauce and peanut butter sauce.
I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, this was alright but I wouldn't order it because of the eggplant lol.

Spicy wontons! so gooood

Deep fried chicken balls with sugar cane.
THESE WERE SO GOOOOOOOOD!!! lol they were surprisingly light
and they had huge flavor O_O

 so much food for two people, I thought we would share the noodles and then my friend goes
"oh yeah I forgot to tell you I hate curry" da fuck lol

 The wait staff brought him the wrong dessert lol

 Random shots of the restaurant

The front had tons of people, I guess cause lunch time was ending people started to leave

Sigh there's still much to do at home >.<

I have to:
- Do the dishes Steve sucks and won't clean
- Do the laundry
- Go to the bank
- Pack
