Revlon: Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Oooh Finally talking about these!

I bought the lipstains back in November from Target (for $8.39) and I'm finally getting around to writing this damn post! o.O lol I guess this was my first time in many years having colored lips. I remember a few months ago I saw a youtube video of Taiwanese girls with make up on and then it showed what they looked like without it on and its like WTF!!

I showed Steve and he told me "I'm glad you don't wear makeup because its a scam" lol and then he changed his mind and was like "You would probably look really good with makeup on! you should try it" I was like ... what the hell lol.

Small steps people... small steps...

Romantic

I really like this color. I don't know if its just the ones that I bought but they have a weird minty smell to them lol and they taste a little minty too lol.

Man I need a new camera... But I think you can see how red it is.
I would buy this one but I want to try real Lipsticks! o..O

More grainy photos to come lol.

 Cherish

Generally I like either dark lips or something neutral. The pink one doesn't really work for me, this one isn't really pigmented that much so its barely pink and I have to put lots on for it to look pink lol.

I think Ashley bought the Precious color one and when I tried it, it didn't do anything lol.

 Don't forget this isn't a real lipstick so it isn't highly pigmented.

Rendezvous

If you have dry/cracked lips I would suggest putting on a moisturizing chapstick or something and then put it on top because if you don't, people can see lines when you put the color on top but don't put on too much chapstick cause your lips will look gooey LOL.

 I seriously need a new camera LOL.

Steve's sister left not that long ago so now I can blog freeeely! and not at coffee shops LOL. Steve's mom finally leaves on the 13th :D :D :D OMG I CAN'T WAIT lol. But... she's coming back like in a few months NOO WTF lol to do some classes.

Anyways I think the only one I would buy is the Romantic color one but I think I'll move on to real lipsticks lol. Time to invest! This is a good first step for girls starting to wear makeup because its affordable plus its not very flashy if you know what I mean so its more like a more pigmented chapstick.

Outfit Post

Holy! I haven't done one of these in SOOOO LONG!

I've been meaning to show you guys what I ordered from Mexyshop from a long time ago lol but I didn't get the chance >.< cause I forgot LOL. I did gift one of the sweaters I ordered to Steve's sister because my boobs were too big for it and it basically became a belly sweater LOL.

 The red hat I ordered from Mexy, I wish I ordered more in a different color
I LOVE this hat!

I think this outfit is very meh.. Plus the shirt needs to be ironed >.<

I haven't really gotten any clothes other than the color block shirt in a LONG time. If you've read my previous post on lifestyle changes you guys will know that I'm trying to lose some weight. So I'm going to wait till I get the results I want then I'll start buying clothes.
 
I don't have a proper scale so I don't really know if I'm achieving results but I have been going to the gym quite often. My friend said to me "wow you're actually trying" I was like fuck you wtf are you doing? (he keeps telling me he wants to lose weight and get super hot and yet he doesn't want to exercise when I ask him to go to the gym with me -__-' bastard! lol)

So its going to be an even longer wait till the next outfit post! >.< I will show you what I ordered from mexy soon though! I think when spring rolls around I'll have to get some clothes though or look like a homeless person lol.

Also if anybody knows what I can get my cousin that lives in the US that's strictly Canadian and he can't get there let me know! besides ketchup chips cause that's all I got.. lol.

Haircare!

 SUPER SPLIT END!

As I mentioned before in a previous post, I haven't had my hair cut or trimmed in almost a year. Right now I have TONS of split ends even on certain strands there's multiple splits. I kind of just take a pair of scissors and trim them myself o.O lol which is not a good idea. But since I switched up my haircare routine the health of my hair has gotten so much better!

A year ago I was using this:

Nisim's Fast Growing Shampoo and Conditioner

I actually don't know if it works or not LOL I used it a lot but after a few months I did notice that my hair was getting really thin and I was like wtf so I stopped using it. The product is quite drying and it smells alright.. I had to use tons of product to get it to lather up, maybe my hair is messed up? I started using the Kao Essential Shampoo and Conditioner after it arrived in the mail.

I ordered four bottles off of Sasa

I actually really like this shampoo and conditioner, it smells so good. But I did notice that it wasn't moisturizing enough for my hair and by the time that happened most of the product was gone and I was way too lazy to order shampoo off of Sasa again because I didn't just want to buy fucking shampoo and spend $18 on shipping when its like $6 per bottle of shampoo >.< So I switched it up again!

I actually bought all of these

I was quite hesitant in buying this because I've never had good experiences with drugstore shampoos/conditioners because my hair would fall out o.O I bought this because it was cheap lol like $3 for a big bottle of shampoo. I was actually surprised on how well it works! it actually thickened up my hair quite a bit (I have fine hair) so I was pretty amazed after a few washes that it had the results that it did. I used it for many months until it started drying out my hair again LOL but I was also using the Biosilk silk therapy serum so it wasn't so bad.

A little goes a long way

Stupid Canada sells this for SO MUCH. This is the 5.64 fl. oz bottle and I got it for $20. Ashley gifted me the 12 fl. oz bottle (so more than double the size of this) and she told me it was $20 -___-' wtf! After I blow dry my hair I use this and only a small amount on my ends, if I put too much on I'll run it through my whole head but by tomorrow my hair will be super duper greasy >.< I only wash my hair every other day. But this makes my hair smoother, and really moisturized.

What I'm using now!

What I hate about long hair is that you use TONS OF PRODUCT. I told Ashley I wanted a more moisturizing shampoo/conditioner and she gave me these which is super awesome! They make my hair so moisturized! (for now lol) The consistency of the shampoo is kind of weird, maybe it's my bottle but its kind of gelatinous >.< lol but it lathers in my hair quite well and the conditioner makes my hair so smooth.

I've read reviews of the Organix line about how it doesn't do shit but everyone is different. This works well for me so I'm gonna continue to use it until it fucks my hair up LOL the bottles are quite small so I think I'll have to buy tons of this but I really like it a lot so far and I wanna try their hair oils, serums and sprays! They're pretty affordable too! ^__^

It's gonna be a while until I write another post because Steve's sister is visiting for the next 4-5 days >.<

Car Salesmen

No I'm not getting a car, I don't even have my fucking license lol. I should really get on that... but I have been looking at driving schools.

Steve has been looking for a car for a while now, mainly because his mom can't drive a manual car and she's been nagging him non-stop for him to give her rides to wherever and its interrupting his school/work schedule as well as stressing the shit out of him. Plus we can't really go out without her calling us and telling us to get her something and bring her somewhere >.< "where are you?" "Are you coming home soon?" "eat dinner at home, don't eat out" STFU lah!

 Me and Steve always take walks around the automall just to look and spend some time with each other, we used to walk Athena (our German shepherd T_T) there. A few times Steve would find something both him and his mom would like, he would take a photo and show it to his mom and she would say ok lets go see it. We would go see it and then she would change her mind because the car salesman would be too aggressive.

Last night we went to Destination Mazda in Vancouver because according to their website they had a car that Steve liked and he's been looking for, for a while now. We casually walked their used car lot and as soon as we headed near the front a salesman comes out and says "is there anything I can help you with?" which is quite typical I would think. We just said "we are just looking" and he starts following us... Steve got weirded out and just asked if they had what he was looking for. The gentleman took us inside and flipped through some book and told us that it was gone (which we already assumed since it wasn't in the used car lot) so we were like "ok that's fine we were just looking anyways" and we headed out.

As soon as we headed out the guy runs after us and asks "why are you looking for that car? we have this other car you can see" Steve said "no that's fine, we came to see this car" and the guy got super pissy and said "Are you looking to buy a car or what?" Steve says "Eventually but we wanted to see if you had this" he says back "why did you even come if you are not going to look at other cars" Anyways long story short... Steve got mad at the guy for being rude and pushy and the guy got mad at Steve for not looking at other cars, lol.

Ok, I've worked in retail (which I HATED lol) and if I could buy a car online with no sales pressure, I would. I understand this guy is on commission but the experience with this guy made it so I never want to set foot on that lot ever again. I hate that as soon as a salesman see you "you are their customer" automatically like come on. I think I am entitled to pick who gets my commission.

When you set out to look for a car I would generally think that you would do a little research on what kind of car you want, what price range it's in, designs, etc etc. I mean if I'm gonna spend over $10,000 I would want to do the research unless I was a millionaire. But really if you decide you want to buy a car would you do online research? or would you just randomly go down to any dealership and roam around? Personally I would do my research first and then go down there.

When the time comes and I find a car that I want to purchase I'm going to have to filter the salesmen really really good lol.

How was your experience purchasing your car? Did you feel pressured?

Our Mom

I don’t think I’ve ever written a whole post about my mom. I’ve mentioned her in the past but I haven’t dedicated a full post on her.

Many of my close friends know the hatred I have for her and my dad. People that meet them for the first time always think “oh your mom is so nice, I have no idea what you are talking about” or “you’re wrong your parents are such nice people” and it always pisses me off. I mean you meet them what a few times? And you think that you already know the person? Come on seriously, you are talking to their children, people who have lived with them for a majority of their lives and people aren’t going to tell you straight up that they’re crazy.

Think of it this way a pervert isn’t going to fucking tell you they want to touch your goodies right? You shouldn’t expect a crazy person to do the same. My mom likes to manipulate people, why? Sympathy. I have no idea why she wants sympathy, I guess so she can do whatever she wants and they’ll be like “oh just let her do whatever she feels like, she’s had a hard life” -___- really? no fuck off Lol.

The other night I had some wine with Steve and his mom and she says to me “Your parents told me about when she was in a car accident and that she was in a coma for three years” WTF SERIOUSLY. That’s a big fucking lie, my mom was in a car accident that’s it, no injuries sustained only the car was damaged, that’s it. Why the hell do they have to tell people this bullshit? I would’ve told Steve that my mom had been in a coma and that would explain her craziness and he knows that, or at least I hope he does. I seriously can’t believe that Steve’s mom would believe all of her fucking lies, she’s so dumb.

I think Ashley’s mother in law used to think she was normal, at least when they first met but that quickly changed after she took her for a visit at the doctors office. I think they had planned to go have lunch or a coffee together but my mom had to go to the optometrist first.

**********

Ok before I go on I have to explain. My mom likes to pretend to be super retarded when she goes to the doctor. I always knew this, I think Ashley’s always known this but not other people. She will pretend not to know a word of English and pretend that we (her daughters) are her care aides, wtf. Plus for some reason she has a cane and she uses it only at the doctors, she thinks that if she has enough disabilities then the government will give her more money that she can use at the casino instead of medicine -___-' She also does this thing with her hands where she pretends she can’t open them. The doctor told us he did a x-ray and had specialists look at her hand and found nothing wrong and they couldn’t figure out why her hand couldn’t open -___-‘ wtf.

**********

At the end of her appointment she walked out and the office assistant says to my mom “you have to pay the bill” she looks at Ashley’s mother in law and says “me no speak English” like she wanted her to pay and she says “lily, you know English perfectly fine, pay the bill” and she responds “me no know” and starts drooling… and every second that they are there she gets more and more messed up! WTF! Now it seems they only talk when she needs a dog sitter and asks my mom to take care of him.

My parents seem to think that Ashley’s husband and his mom owe them a huge favor because she’s getting re-married and they met because of them. -____-' they’re probably going to expect money.


**********

Let’s begin with our childhood LOL. I swear I need my own Dr. Phil episode. Ahh memories.

I am utterly surprised that we were never taken away by the government when we were kids. I don’t know how many times I thought about running away but I always knew I wouldn’t get really far until I got caught.

Our mom used to like locking us outside when we did bad things
and not let us in until night time
(Ashley's the older one and I'm the baby... still have a big forehead... lol)

At school I never ate anything, the teachers would have to bring Ashley down from her class during lunch to watch me eat because I refused to eat. Why? Our mom would pack our lunch and what was in it usually was two pieces of bread with butter in it… or moldy sandwiches, yum. I remember confiding into my grade 1 & 2 teacher about how my parents would hit usand they just stuck me with a counselor who didn’t do shit. The good days were when our dad would cook us food, I guess he is less evil than our mom lol.

There were a few times when our mom was supposed to pick us up from school but totally forgot and after a few hours of waiting we just ended up walking home, who lets their 8 year old daughters walk home from school?

In Kindergarten I cut my stomach open on a sharp corner of a desk we had in our bedroom because I was trying to climb it lol. Instead of taking me to get stitches or proper bandages, my mom finds some napkins and tape -___-‘ wtf. When I went to school the next day I kept holding my stomach because it hurt and I didn’t want it to fall out. Eventually there came a time when they took us to the gym to let us run around and they noticed that I kept holding onto my stomach and they asked me to move my hand and this huge bloody taped up napkin fell out of my dress LOL. They freaked out but I guess they thought I did it at school, they went to put proper bandages on me, I still have a scar.

My favorite story of our childhood was when our mom got arrested at Wal-mart. She took me and Ashley “shopping” after school one night and Ashley had her backpack. We went into Wal-mart and my mom put on a pair of jeans over her pants and told us to look out and stuffed a whole bunch of shirts/sweaters into Ashley’s backpack. We walked out of the store and there was a store not that far away and my mom was like “oh, look at these sweaters” Ashley took one out to compare and two people approached us and asked her to go with them. I kept telling my mom to just give back the stuff. Eventually they took us to some interrogation room in the Wal-Mart and called the cops.

The cops came, they asked my mom some questions and then eventually they took us to the police station. I was like 8? or younger and I was so embarrassed walking out of that store with the cops and then getting into the back of their car. Then they took us to go talk to our dad which probably was really embarrassing for him too because he was working and his co-workers were probably like wtf is happening?

Then we went to the station and I think they took a photo but I remember seeing them fingerprint her. Then they let us go home. That night I remember my mom sitting on my bed when we were trying to go to sleep and she said “your mom is going to go to jail and its Ashley’s fault because she took the sweater out of the bag and they saw” and I was like what the hell? when you think about it its like WTF YOU BLAMED YOUR LITTLE CHILD ON THE ACTIONS THAT YOU DID? REALLY?! WHAT GOOD PARENTING SKILLS!

**********

Now our relationship with our mom is basically non-existent, I personally don’t care. I only care when she tries to manipulate Steve or my friends. I don’t bring anyone over anymore. I have one friend that’s a pretty big guy and whenever he used to come over my mom would tell me to make him move furniture around for her and I’m like fuck off, he’s not here to help you move shit, you can pay him and do it or fucking hire someone leave my fucking friends alone. Then she’ll just try to move the crap herself and then start screaming “HELP ME, OH MY GOD SO HEAVY! OW OW OW OW” and my friend knows she’s being like this on purpose so he’ll end up doing it because she’s a fucking bitch and won’t stop screaming.

Ashley doesn’t talk to our parents anymore, she’s lucky she can do that. If I were out of school and financially stable I would leave right now and never look back.

She’s still verbally abusive. She always tells people how I’m really dumb, how I’m ugly and how I’m useless and says that “____ kid is so smart and talented, you don’t know how to do anything” So I basically hate all of her friends because they always talk down to me so I have no fucking respect for them.

People always say there’s two sides to every story but I don’t really think there is an excuse for anyone to treat their children like this. If you can't love them or support them THEN DON'T HAVE THEM!

I told Steve if we got married my parents aren’t aloud to come to our wedding and he says he’s ok with it but I have a feeling his mom will object and I’ll tell him that either my mom goes and I don’t or I go and she doesn’t lol, I think it’s a pretty fair trade.

I wrote something on Facebook like last year about how my mom stole money off my table by breaking into my room and my aunt called to yell at her and what my mom did was freak out and smash dishes -___-' so I am going to assume the same would happen if anyone in my family read my blog.

There are tons of other stories, which I may or may not post we will see.

How do your parents compare to mine?

Hair Plans!

I have no idea what it is but lately my arm has been freaking killing me for the past few days. It could be that we were moving boxes from the shed but they weren't really heavy though and its only on the right side.

Being off track is my specialty lol I've been wanting to change up my hairstyle for a while. The last time I got a haircut was about a year ago approximately like 10 months :S lol and the ends are quite split and dryish >.< but I switched shampoos so now its a lot healthier, so its grown out A LOT lol. I used to have side bangs but they've totally grown out passed my chin and the whole length of my hair is past my boobs.

You can kind of see how long it is lol,
its a bit longer than that and the bangs have grown out a lot >.<
Should get my angry eyebrows done soon O.O

What I want to do with it is:

Cheesie's cut and color! (she's my new idol in terms of style lol)

I definitely want to keep my length but I know that my hair definitely needs a trim so it will be shorter than what it is now maybe boob length? I haven't dyed my hair in a few years so its all my natural color now and I rarely dyed my hair before anyways. I like her color but I'm thinking of going even lighter than her maybe like Qiuting's hair color before she dyed it recently. But I think I'll go for her color first and see how that goes.

So what I'm going to ask for is her type of cut (the bangs and see how it goes with the length probably cut it off where it curves in on the bottom) I don't know if the bangs will work for me since I don't really have thick Asian hair >.< and I do not want layers.

I've been to a few Asian hair salons here in Vancouver that are quite popular but every time I got a cut I felt super ripped off such as Zeal. I tell them what I want and they just did whatever the fuck they want, and I hate that they don't listen to me so now whenever I get a haircut I'm in super bitch mode LOL. I will save a photo of what I want on my phone and show them what I want and say "I want my hair like this I will not pay you if you do whatever you want, if you want to cut it shorter let me know first" LOL seriously it shouldn't resort to this, why pay for a haircut if you don't get what you want? also a "master cut" isn't $45 from them, I always get charged $65 when I get a cut PLUS! I have to tip >.< I only went twice and gave up on them. 
My friend likes to get his hair cuts there but I think he's wasting his money because they don't really style it or anything. He just asks them to cut it short and he pays $55 each time. 
Don't get me wrong not everyone will have the same experience as me but I feel like there is somewhere for everyone and that place is not for me and I'm not the only one among my friends that feel that way.
I'm gonna get my hair done in 2 weeks! so lets see what happens to my hair then! How much do you usually tip for a cut and color? O.O I really don't know...

JuJu Cosmetics Aquamoist

O.O A post about Japanese products!

I ordered these products like last year from Sasa and used them for quite a while (like 5 months) Juju is SO AFFORDABLE! I was hoping to find some Juju cosmetic products while I was in Hawaii but T_T no luck and there is a place that sells these products in Vancouver but its like seriously double the price -__-' wtf.

Aquamoist Vitamin C Toner

When I first bought this I thought it was just a moisturizing toner then when I actually got it I noticed at the bottom it said whitening lotion and was like wtf? lol.


 The toner is quite watery which I like. I used a hadalabo toner before I switched to this one and I didn't like that it was thicker plus it made my skin oily. This toner I only use at night because I use the Skinfood Peach Sake line during the day so my skin is matte and not oily.

The toner isn't really scented which is nice, I hate it when you use different products and they're scented so it smells weird in the end lol. Anyways it absorbs really well, I haven't really noticed a whitening effect. It doesn't make my skin oily and it keeps my skin moisturized at night. Plus it doesn't make me break out.

I hesitantly bought this product because I wasn't blown away by the quality of the bottle that the hadalabo essence I used had but I thought I would give it a try anyways.

Right off the bat when I received this product I was surprised how well the quality of the bottle was. So much better than the hadalabo one -__-' and for the same price! lol the pump on this bottle is so much better, it doesn't drag the essence out all over the pump so I was super happy with that. Plus the bottle is glass and not plastic.

The consistency of this product is like ... semen LOL! maybe Steve is tricking me haha, but no seriously its sticky its thick lol its not scented and it absorbs really well. I use this only at night too and did notice some dark spots on my face did fade so I would buy this product again but I still want to see what is out there.

Oh.. This cleanser... lol, I bought this because I had heard good things about it and was super excited when I bought this. I've never used a foam cleanser before so I was a little skeptical in using it.

What I like about this product is the packaging, Juju does packaging really well for its affordable prices ^__^


BUT I didn't like this product lol. If you aren't using a something that will help exfoliate your skin when you cleanse then you will think it doesn't do anything which I thought lol and I'm using a silicone wash pad. It does clean well but I thought that it didn't work well for me. My skin got super oily really fast after using this too >.< so I stopped using it after a few washes.

Overall I would buy the toner and the essence again but I really want to try some other products that they also have ^__^

Where Can You Get These Products?

I bought all of these products on Sasa, I know its available here in Vancouver (specifically aberdeen mall in Richmond) but expect to pay double for what you can pay for on Sasa.

Don't forget you can get these products on Ebay but if you are planning on buying a whole bunch of stuff I would suggest buying it all from sasa because you're gonna get tons of random boxes from ebay sellers lol.

Retail Sucks


This is for all of you who shop (who doesn't?) and for those who potentially want to work in retail.

I ran into an old co-worker of mine that I haven’t seen in a few months. We chatted a bit and I asked him if he quit Future Shop (equivalent of Best Buy and owned by Best Buy) he said hell yes lol he quit a few months ago and he’s so glad he did.

He told me how pissed off the customer service girls were at me and how I “betrayed their trust” because I left and I was like wtf? I told them I was leaving. Right before I left for Korea I told them that my last shift was that one and that I wasn’t going to come back and work, I guess they thought I was being sarcastic... wtf.

Even before I left, everyone knew how much I hated working there, seriously, I don’t know how many times I wanted to quit. When the temporary store opened during the renovations I HATED WORKING THERE SO MUCH. There was nothing to do, ever! even before the renovations too. They made me read SOP’s everyday about the same crap everyday and I don’t know how obvious I made it but I made it clear that I did not have an interest whatsoever in learning about the company and its policies. A lot of the girls weren't comfortable giving out their names over the phone to random customers and I was one of them, some people would say its "good customer service" but to me I seriously just don't want to give my name over the phone to strangers plus some random customer can come in and say that I gave them some false promises wtf.

When I worked there I really think the management was really shitty. I honestly think the management is made up of people who had no life goals or failed school and had no other options because of their lack of leadership skills and logic when it comes to handling employees and customers. Which most of it is true because most people who have a bachelor's degree don't think to themselves "I wanna work at future shop after I finish school" wtf lol. The management is made up of people who used to work as sales associates and customer service reps and from what I hear its quite easy to move up in the company. Basically if you are a high school student you can become management one day because having a college degree doesn't matter.

**********

My heart really goes out for those people who work in retail, people who have never worked in retail just think that they can get away with anything (late returns/ridiculous exchanges) because "the customer is always right" that just pisses me off. I don't go to your business and freak out about your policies.

Plus I love the "I'm better than you" attitude customers give you and the "I spend lots of money here all the time!" its like well fuck I'm not forcing you to buy from here and its your choice where you spend your money. I really think people are fucking lazy assholes lol, seriously most places will be ok with you returning things a few days after the 14/30 day policy but not more than a week if your really nice enough (its still irritating though) but if you are a super big asshole then what do you expect? everyone has the same amount of time to return shit, its just ridiculous.

Also when your laptop breaks after a year of having it do you really fucking think ANY store will exchange it for you? or fix it for free? NO! even if you dropped/dented your laptop after a day of having it. Unless you get a extended warranty but even then they don't even cover everything.

I remember my first shift at Future Shop (in Vancouver), someone comes up to me and asks me where a hauppauge (a computer video recorder thing?) is and I have never heard of this thing before and didn't know this thing existed lol and I asked the customer (who is an older gentleman with like a 13 year old son) what it does and the guys son tells me what it does (he said he wanted to use it to record himself playing video games and then put it on youtube) so I figured it would be in the computer section but the salesman didn't know wtf it was either so he brought him back to me WTF didn't even try >.< and I try to search it on the computer and didn't know how the fuck to spell it and asked him and the guy freaks out and says "I DON'T LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW I'LL FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOES" and I'm like WTF, I'm trying to fucking help you and you're not even putting any effort to help me help you! fucking asshole! GRARRRGH!! I hope karma got him and he's homeless now with his hauppauge lol.

Work in retail? whats the most ridiculous thing someone has said to you?

PS. what is with the font on this? o_O wtf lol

Blog Changes 2013

Ok so I wanted to make changes to this blog before the New Year and that totally did not happen. Now that school has started again its going to be delayed again! >.<

Plus! I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like now that Steve's mom is hanging around the house, obviously I don't want her to find out about the blog since I am (in the words of Spencer Rice) "besmirching her character" lol and he'll probably be super pissy about me writing about him too which I don't really care about, its not like I'm plastering their photos all over the blog anyways and giving out their full names.

So now whenever I am alone or get the chance to go to a coffee shop where there's wifi, I write posts. The self-righteous parent post was written when I was in a Tim Hortons with Steve while he was studying across from me lol and it took me an hour or two to write it, he didn't notice at all.

Sometimes I think Steve knows but I'm pretty sure he doesn't since he hasn't asked about it lol. Basically the only person that knows about this blog is Ashley and her husband LOL, I didn't want to tell my friends because if they read it they would know I'm talking about them lol and plus it seems some of their emotions are out of wack at the moment so I'm not sure how they would comprehend what I write.

Plus I don't think you people are actually reading the crap I write here lol. "Oh its a crap blog, don't want to read it" *presses the back button* sounds right yes? lol

**********

I guess this year I really want to focus more on beauty/makeup brands that aren't Korean (I've been featuring them a lot) but still affordable, feature some local stores and restaurants here in Vancouver, get in shape unless I get super lazy about it which I think I will lol, post more outfits and I will obviously vent like mad here.

Tony Moly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream

Steve thinks it looks like a boob

Description (from Sasa): Tony Moly Peach Anti-aging Hand Cream contains extracts of peach and apricot, which makes it a whitening product. Besides, it contains adenosine, an anti-wrinkle ingredient. It gives hands sufficient nutrients, diminishes wrinkles of hands and makes hands elastic again. 

**********

Before I went to Korea, I really wanted to get this hand cream mainly because it looks like a peach, says anti-aging in the title and its super cheap. I do notice other peoples hands and some of my friends have wrinkly/blotchy skin and I'm like wtf? YOU ARE MY AGE! I have no idea what they are doing... so that basically set me on the path to find a cheap hand cream lol.

I really don't think this actually does anything though lol. I put it on morning (after showering) and night time (before I go to sleep) but I don't think my hands are that wrinkly anyways so I think that's why its not really affecting my hands in any way (or is it...?)



What Do I Think Of This Product?
The cream is not too thick and not too thin (like greek yogurt? lol) and it does smell like peaches.. it doesn't translate that well onto the skin though (the scent) it does smell kind of off, maybe I'm not washing my hands enough? LOL. It moisturizes quite a bit but my hands aren't that dry these days (maybe because of this?) and sometimes I feel like it leaves some residue on my hands...

Where Can You Get This Product?

I was going to buy this online at Sasa (for about $7) but then I decided to buy it when I went to Korea. When I was in Korea I bought a 5 pack that was $20 at the Lotte duty free, I gave a few away as gifts mainly because they looked like peaches and people weren't sure what they were lol, it's more of a novelty item it seems.

You can buy it on Ebay for cheaper and free shipping but it might take longer to get to you (from my experience if you are buying from a South Korean seller they tend to ship things really quick)

I would probably buy it again but I want to see what else is out there but I might come back to this eventually. Plus it's kind of awkward walking around with this in your purse lol.

The Self Righteous Parent

Everyone deals with people like this
There's no reasoning with that person because they just either don't believe you or they have such strong beliefs of their own that their perception of the situation is so warped that their way of thinking is not straight on and doesn't make sense

Steve's mom has been here since the 26th of December (as I've mentioned before) and she's caused so many fucking problems already. I don't know if she has a mental issue or she's just fucking inconsiderate (probably both) but something is definitely not right there.

For two days now she's been freaking out at him for failing his cbsa exam (border services) and not getting a job (this was like a year ago) and he is still going to school. She keeps ridiculing him for not staying in university and said to him if he doesn't get the job he's going for in February then he has to quit school in Canada and live in Korea, wtf.


"Everyone else has kids who have finished university and are looking for jobs what are you doing? wasting your time with your friends"

Its not like he isn't trying to get a job I mean he's a student at JIBC, he's also applying for jobs and works part-time. Its not that he's fucking lazy I think he is entitled a few days off, especially on his birthday (it was his birthday on new years day).

I have to say, if you don't get a job it doesn't mean you have to move halfway across the world to study english (he's fucking fluent lol) and compared to Canada, Korea is probably not the best place to study english, probably engrish.

Plus you don't move someone halfway across the world because they didn't get a job, maybe if they were addicted to drugs and you want them to go to rehab and not have access to the environment they were in wtf lol.

"I'm your parent and you should do what I say"

Every time a friend of mine tells me that their parent has said this I get angry. Just because you are a parent doesn't mean you are a good one. Anybody can be a parent (for example a 12 year old girl that got accidentally pregnant) but not everyone is a good parent.

To me Steve's mom has the maturity of a 15 year old girl, and if she doesn't get what she wants she calls daddy (aka Steve's dad lol) She was never ready to have kids and still isn't.

I have to be honest, Steve isn't the best human in the world lol, his parents have warped his mind a little bit but he is slowly adapting to the culture here but I know some things in his mind will never change or will slowly change. If you don't adapt to the world then you will be the outcast

"I'm your parent so you have to give me money and I have to live with you when I am old"

I'm serious about this: If your parent ever tells you that you owe them something (money, making you let them live with you) then they are pieces of shit. I'm fucking serious, you don't owe them ANYTHING. If your parent only had you to take care of them when they're older what does that say? basically they had you for their own selfish needs. Its not a right/obligation to have kids, just because you can it doesn't always mean you should.

Somebody told me: In Korea, before you get married you have to live with your husbands parents for a month or two so their mom can teach you how to be a good housewife. Because the man has to take care of the family by providing the money.

So I blame his mom for his faults LOL

I told Steve if his mom continues to say these things then I'm going to have to ask her to leave and not come back to the house and if she refuses then I'll call the cops. At this point and time Steve is ok with that.

Opinions?
