Whore ~ lol

Holy crap I am super pissed off.

Steve's mom is such a fucking bitch and so is Steve. We went to the states this past weekend because Steve's mom wanted to steal ideas from popular American restaurants so she can recreate them at her own when she has one. I asked Steve if it was ok to go meet Ashley for a bit since I probably won't see her in the next few months since I have to go to school and he doesn't want to go visit her at Christmas because he wants to spend time with his stupid family and he said ok we can go.

We get up early (wanted to leave by 6:30AM) and she takes forever to get ready (obviously cause she's a prissy bitch) but we end up leaving at 7:30AM because she was taking her sweet ass time. We beat the line up because we went into the duty free to buy water (who knew that worked?) and we got to the premium outlet by 10AM. I thought to myself wow we're making pretty good time! We'll probably get to Ashley's by 11:30AM or 12PM. It took her 4 HOURS to buy two pairs of pants and a shirt, she also bought a Burberry jacket for like $600 but returned it because they have no money. Hmm priorities lol at least she has enough sense to return it.

Apparently his mom thought that I was just going to go Ashley's just to say hi and hang out for like 30 minutes and that we'd be on our way. Umm no, I told you the day before that I wanted to spend time with my sister because I probably won't see her till after Christmas. Then she says "ok we're going to go out for lunch for one hour and when we come back we have to go home" I was like WTF and Steve was no help either, obviously he'd side with his mom because he's whipped and can't start an argument with mom or else the apocalypse will happen if she doesn't get her way. So when we actually got to her place she wasn't fucking home, I figured something like that would happen, I didn't really expect her to sit around and wait for us.

So naturally I was pissed off that they both ganged up on me when I told them in advance that I wanted to spend more than one hour of my time with my sister and because I was pissed off Steve got pissed off and was like "don't feel that way" I'm like fuck off how am I supposed to feel? You're the one who told me that we could go see her and when your stupid dumbass mom decides to spend 4 hours shopping for nothing then that's your fault and you should pay the price instead of someone else.

How the fuck can a family be like this? I am at the end of the rope, I can't fucking handle this drama anymore. They're going to say I'm insane because I want to break up with him for being a selfish narcissist with a Oedipus complex (well its more like his mom is in love with him than he is in love with her) Plus he got a date for his polygraph test with the RCMP. They both just can't understand the term "sharing" the original plan was for her to steal ideas from other restaurants not go shopping at the outlet. Obviously I have no choice in the decisions that they make (which are dumb selfish ones). I still can't believe in the "you must obey anyone older than you" rule, times have changed and its time you learned that the world doesn't revolve around you because your "older" I could wrap my head around the idea if she was you know, more humble and sweet instead of being spoiled and selfish.

I just hope the day will come where their family runs out of money and she has to learn how to live by herself instead of relying on someone else. It bugs me that she wants to go to school and then open a restaurant right after, seems so random and someone else can use that seat int he class. she can't stand the fact that she'll have a manager if she works as a care aide. Hope that she cuts the umbilical cord off of Steve too which probably won't happen because she's a bitch and would just freak the fuck out if he ever had his own life without her.

He always says that when he becomes a cop he won't live with his mom but GET REAL she's going to fucking make up a sob story about how the family is poor and not making money and that he's the bread winner in the family and has to take care of his mom that is aging and that she can't work for a very long time or her body will hurt and that his dad's business is failing or some shit. His sister is piece of work too, miniature version of his mom only with education, its only a matter of time before she gets on their moms level.

I know if he'll eventually become an RCMP officer but he'll eventually fuck it up by helping his mom (or Koreans) out in situations where he shouldn't or his rage/temper will get the best of him and he'll do something stupid without thinking it through that could jeopardize his job. You know what his parents said to him once? Basically its ok to arrest everyone else except Korean people because "they are our kind" its like fuck you, you really want a police officer with parents who instill this type of thought in their kids? ummm no.

Talk about a shitty wife too, his mom blew like $5000 on the dog and she tells her daughter to not tell her husband and she doesn't tell him at all that she blew that much. Obviously he'd be upset, I would be too if my wife spent $5000 and DIDN'T TELL ME, not only that she told Steve the same thing. They keep SO MANY secrets from his dad if I were Korean I would tell him EVERYTHING. I feel bad for his dad, has to be married to a bitch wife and sends her money and she lies to him what she's spending it on.

RANT OVER.
I hope Karma super gets this family.

August Updates 2013

Its near the end of the month and that means almost back to school time T_T

So far I've only got one class -___-' (I bitched about it in a previous post) but I might actually pick up one more hopefully another but I doubt it, I have one class where only 4 people are ahead of me on the waitlist and the other class has like 26 people ahead of me.. so I doubt I will get into that one but I really hope that I can get into another class. Come on people drop out of that class! LOL

*edit: I got into another class!! WOOHOOO!!

**********

Steve's sister came back to Vancouver in mid-August and she was only here for about three days, the original plan was for her to stay for like a month and help take care of the dog but she had to leave early for some assessment test for school and Steve was all like "she just doesn't to deal with mom" lol. Then they had an explosive argument at like 2AM. They literally screamed at each other, Steve had to bring Monet into our room (where I was) because she was getting scared from all the yelling, she was all shaky :( but calmed down eventually. Most of the argument was about his sister and how she spends lots of money and has no future goals or something...

Speaking of which apparently his mom changed her work plans. She really really wants to open a restaurant so she's going to take her care aide classes (which is one year) and when she graduates she's going to open a restaurant and his sister graduates next year and wants to take a year or two off to help out at the restaurant. One thing that bugs me is that they have no restaurant experience, neither of them has worked at one and they're just going to go eat at other restaurants and steal their ideas lol.

You know what's annoying? When there are tons of sales and you are totally broke lol Poop I am hoping they're still there when I get some moneys T_T but! when I did have $$$ I ordered a CC cream! O_O review coming soon!

Still having some trouble with eyeliner lol since I have monolids it just doesn't show up lol, people with monolids! help me hahahaha

Other than that there's not much I did this month besides go to a wedding and just hang out with my friends :P

Western Style Korean Wedding

Bazaam! Happy Sunday folks!

Did you see my most recent pic on Instagram? Its a peek into the super nice wedding reception we were at the other day.

We went to Steve's friends brothers wedding lol (there's probably some grammatical errors in there lol) I think about 100 people attended and it said on the invitation that it started at 5PM, which is probably the worst time to have it since it was downtown on a Friday.

 Where we found out which table we were at

So we got there at about 4:40PM (early of course) and we thought there would be tons of people there already... but no we were literally like the first people there.

 The wedding was at the Vancouver Club in the Georgian Room (I think..)
This is the lounge/ceremony area

 The ceremony area

 Pretty fancy right? (wasn't too fond of the carpet lol)

People didn't start showing up until like 6PM so the ceremony was late -____-' (started at 6:45PM) and I was one of like 4/5 non-Korean people and the whole ceremony was in Korean lol, so I was confused the whole time.

 Ceremony time

 The Bride

The bride had difficulty walking in that dress lol. I think it was a rental and it was too long for her plus she had high heels on too that didn't help her at all >.< so wherever she went someone had to hold it up or she would have to lift it.

 Pretty uneventful ceremony (cause I don't understand Korean lol)

This is all I care about LOL

I barely ate anything earlier so I was STARVING lol I got drunk off of that one drink (red wine with champagne) hahaha

Time for Hors D'oeuvres!
This one was a teeny tiny salmon thing.. lol I ate probably like 8 of these haha

Little shrimp tempura thing (I had a lot of these too)

Vegetarian Spring Roll
(probably the best thing I ate since it was hot and not luke warm)

Snuck into the reception hall before anyone else could get there to take a pic LOL

They even had a harp player (how fancy! lol)

We were the first people to sign the guest book lol
They put their pre-wedding photos there too 
Apparently its a Korean thing (Asian thing?) to take super nice editorial style wedding photos >.<

Very nice center pieces

I didn't get to eat any cake T_T lol

The wedding couple and party get to sit underneath that big canopy thing

I think at Ashley's wedding they gave jelly beans as wedding favors?
The macarons tasted funny.. lol

Crab cake appetizer! It was sooo good!
I generally like my crab cake a little crispier throughout, not too soft at the bottom

The Prime rib was eh.. lol
We didn't get a choice on what we got as an Entree
I thought the edges tasted really burnt and the vegetables were overcooked but whatever free meal lol

The Dessert was so good!
It was like a mango lavender panna cotta with a coconut cookie thing
Steve thought it was too sweet (he hates cakes in general but not candies >.< lol)

**********

A little background on the wedding couple (from what I heard from the grooms brother, juicy details! lol) the bride is about 5 years older than the groom and her parents were pressuring her to get married since she's 30+ so this was actually a rushed wedding (we got a last minute invite like a few weeks ago, plus looks damn nice for a rushed wedding!) I think she graduated with an arts degree and he told me that she doesn't really work. 

Apparently most friends were surprised to hear they were engaged since well they are very dependent on their parents (to the point where the grooms brother was frustrated at them). The groom was going to school for engineering (I think) but then he decided he didn't like it and quit and decided not to continue his education and now works at his moms restaurant. 

Their mom was paying rent for two places the grooms place and her place and so to save money they moved in with his mom and brother so now there's four of them in one apartment. What do they have planned now? Who knows the groom is still pretty young (like 26) so he doesn't want to have kids for a while plus they're not in a stable place to have them.

Something bugged me at the wedding. They're not really affectionate lol. I mean yeah they held hands but most of the time the groom was off chatting to friends and kind of ignoring his bride and when they kissed, the groom did it so quickly that it seemed like he was embarrassed. I told Steve "It doesn't really look like they love each other that much since they're not so affectionate" he said "its the Korean way, their parents are there so they're not going to be affectionate" I was like wtf I'm gonna be all over my husband on our wedding day lol and if I end up marrying Steve (probably not lol) if he rejects me then I'll get a divorce the next day lol.

I have to say when I first met the groom I thought he was gay, no joke I literally asked Steve if he was gay lol and then I asked his brother afterwards to confirm that Steve wasn't lying to me LOL. He's just so feminine and flamboyant... lol I guess not since he married a woman! ;)

So people who have attended other Korean weddings, is it common not to show affection?

Haircut August 2013

So! If you follow me on twitter you'll know that I went on a rampage about my recent haircut lol

**********

But before I go on, this morning some stupid asshole spider tried to kill me! LOL I was taking a shower in the morning and was shampooing my hair (my stupid short hair now) and looked up and there was a giant fucking spider crawling on the roof.

It started heading towards me and I got out and when I got out it headed back the other way towards me again. It went back and forth for a while and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back in the shower because it kept slipping so eventually I knew it would fall on my head and I would freak lol. So I stood outside of the shower (while it was still running and with shampoo still in my hair lol) until I went and got Steve to come in and kill it

LOL so random

**********

Now that that's over...

I went in to get a trim I literally asked for an inch off (two max) and I even showed him a photo of Claire Marshall
(I wanted long layers similar to her hairstyle) and my hair was past my boobs. He said "ok" pulled all my hair to my back so I couldn't see what he was doing and just started cutting -__-'

I HATE IT WHEN STYLISTS DO THAT!! SERIOUSLY! So I'm never going back there ever again. I've been there in the past and he never really did anything like that so that's why I went back but then BAM! He pulls this! Its like what the hell!

Before.. I want my hair back!

Look how freaking short! (no makeup >.< lol)
So PISSED!!

If you live in North Van and you're curious on what the place is called just send me an email lol. I wanted to keep it long for the wedding I'm going to on Friday but obviously that ain't going to happen.

I even got duck clips to try Anna Lee's pin curling technique but since its super short now I don't know how to style it -___-' suggestions?

So now I have to find a new hair salon/stylist that I can trust and I also have to wait another year or two for my hair to grow out >.<

The fuck!

Nature Republic Original Power: Lifting Ampoule

 You want firm skin ah? lol

According to the box: Helps to revive the skins natural health while strengthening skin elasticity with intensive collagen ampoule care.

So far this is the best ampoule I've used! I use it at night time in conjunction with my wrinkle toner and emulsion, I wish I bought more of these when I had the chance! T_T

I like the design of this bottle!

I actually really like the dropper for this product it gives you good control on how much product to use so you don't use too much. It still has that weird rubber smell though (not the actual serum inside) I use about two drops on my face and one for my neck. The serum has the consistency of a thick toner and it smells so goooood!

Right after you put the serum onto your face you can feel that your skin is firmer, tighter and smoother O_O I'm not actually sure how long the results last for but its definitely noticeable and my skin has been quite smoother since I've started using this.

Definitely will buy again when I get the chance! Hopefully they won't discontinue this product -___-'

Wedding Guest Outfit

The only wedding I've been to during my adulthood (I guess lol) is Ashley's wedding and I didn't get to pick what I wore (since I was part of the wedding party) but Steve and I were invited to one of his friends weddings and I've never been to a Korean Wedding! (its been westernized apparently -___-' lol)

I bought a dress the previous day with Steve on a whim but ended up returning it.
This one:

I got the black one

I got the dress from Aritzia but I ended up returning it because well it was $145 O_O and I just didn't like it that much, I can easily find a similar dress for a better price. So I returned it and got a different dress instead but this time I went with one of my girl friends.

I ended up getting this one instead

Steve says I have "grandma" taste which I don't think is a bad thing. Compared to Ashley I'm more conservative (mostly cause i want to hide my fat stomach LOL) but generally I like simple pieces.

I wanted a dress with a high neckline and a slightly poofy skirt which this has the only thing I'm worried about is the back LOL because its backless sort of..

I'm actually glad I found this dress, it was on sale (from $225 to $60 O_O) and it was the last one in my size ^__^ plus I didn't want a plain black dress so I'm glad I found one with a nice light color and the embroidering is nice too. I also got shoes to match the dress for $10 O_O! Yay for end of season sales! LOL

Now I have to figure out how to put the overall look together.

Our Anniversary

Enough of this dog! lol will update about her later, now to get your juices flowing! lol...

It was our anniversary on July 11th! Steve took the day off so we can go out and play but we didn't really do much we went out for lunch, went to the US to pick up a package, came home for dinner and saw a movie. We're boring people... lol Steve doesn't like to go out that much, especially to crowded places.

 Went to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond for lunch
I ordered Japanese Katsu and curry from Saboten 
(its a chain restaurant, I saw one in Seoul when we were there last year)
I have to say this made both me and Steve have diarrhea.. but it was delicious LOL

 Steve got a hamburger from Vera's burger
That poutine was monstrous!

Then right after we ate had some fun bathroom times LOL. Afterwards we went to the states to pick up Steve's rotors for his car and decided to have dinner and go see a movie. Steve's mom phoned us like once an hour to see where we were -___-' so annoying and to let us know that she was getting a hair cut (which we were like wtf we don't care lol)
 For dinner we went to a nice fine dining restaurant called Gusto Di Quattro
I've always wanted to go to this place because its been around for a long time
I even had a high school friend who did a work experience there and he said the food was amazing

 I'm only a fan of white wine
I've never had a red wine that I've liked so far
suggestions?

 At least Steve chose a good wine
He drank most of it anyways because he knows I have a low alcohol tolerance

 I'm a huge sucker for fresh bread and good olive oil with balsamic vinegar
I think we had two baskets full of bread that night lol

We shared a pretty big Caesar salad
Apparently this was an appetizer O_O
Any salad that has pancetta in it means its good LOL
 My Entree Fusilli Tartufate
It had shaved beef and wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce
T_T best creamy pasta dish I've had
I love wild mushrooms!
 Steve had the daily Steak Entree
I'm not sure what the greens were but the potatoes tasted like a potato salad
But it was still really really good, especially with that wine sauce

Afterwards we went to see a movie nearby, I also wanted to take a walk at the automall area since that's what we did on our first date. I think we saw white house down LOL. We were pretty tired after the movie since we got up pretty early and then we ended up just going home and sleeping T_T we're getting OLD!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you and your significant other do for your anniversary? Suggestions for next year?

Monet Update

Day 2 after accident.

The first night she had a lot of trouble breathing and had to get a chest tube put in. Its a good thing we brought her to the 24 hour Emergency clinic in Vancouver otherwise Steve's mom wanted to bring her home to see if she would just get better on her own (she would have died) the first 12 hours were pretty critical and we left the Emergency clinic at about 3AM.

At 9AM the clinic told us to phone them to get an update on Monet which we did. They said she was doing much better and they weren't taking a lot of air out of the chest tube like they when she came in and that it looks like that its healing on its own so that there was a high probability that she wouldn't need surgery but we couldn't rule it out yet.

The other major concern was her pelvis which was fractured too but wasn't a big issue at the time. They said that she'll probably need pelvic surgery which costs like $8000 (that's the surgery plus after care -___-') which them prompted Steve's mom to go look for alternative options because they didn't want to go through a finance company to get the funds for her surgeries and after care. She called her Korean friend who said that some random doctor on Davie St. was good just because he's Korean... yeah. Then we called them and they're not a 24 hour clinic so she'd have to be transferred back to the 24 hour place anyways there's no point stressing her out even more by moving her around too much.

Then she called her other friend who has their old dog, Heaven (that's the dogs name) Steve got that dog soon after he came to Canada and gave him away like 2 years ago because he moved into an apartment and they don't allow pets. Anyways I digress, the woman who now owns him said to go to the vet they take Heaven to which is like 45 minutes away from where she is staying at so transporting her would be hell but his mom made an appointment anyway -___-' which me and Steve ended up going to instead of her >.<


We went all the way to Surrey to visit this veterinarian only with Monet's medical files and x-ray and from what he could see all he said was that there have been cases where dogs had worse fractures than she had and they were bed ridden the whole time and got better without surgery. That alone probably saved them nearly $10,000

Later that night we went and visited Monet and we decided that another 24 hours at that medical clinic would probably be a good idea. We also had a short visit with her as well as got an update on what they have done and what they plan on doing.

 She looks super sad T_T
She usually has her ears pointed up and they also shaved part of her to put in the chest tube

She also barely ate and drank any water

So they told us that she did have a little rectal exam and they found blood in there and felt something sharp in there which could be part of her pelvic bone. They're not sure if a bone has ripped through her intestine but at the moment it doesn't appear it has but we're looking out for that. So another $1000 spent for another overnight -___-'

**********

Day 3

She has made major improvements. It looks like everything is well for her chest and that her chest tube can come out tomorrow ^__^ but they're keeping it in overnight just to make sure. Her little IV thing can come out tomorrow as well, they were worried that her since its her first night home she may need to come back so they left the chest tube and the IV line in.

We went to the Vancouver Animal Emergency Clinic at around 4PM to pick her up and bring her to the family vet. The car ride sucked, she kept trying to get out of the little box they gave us lol. We got to the family vet by 5PM cause of stupid traffic (the fireworks happened last night)

 Looking much better right?
What a difference a day can do

Anyways at the vet they were all happy to see she was ok. They called her the "miracle dog" they didn't expect her to survive and they told us the things that we should look out for (like her breathing, gum color, blood in poop) they also wanted us to try to get her to eat but that hasn't happened yet.

So now we have to stay up all night to document her breathing every 2 hours and check her gums to make sure she is getting proper oxygen. Plus we have to give her medication every 8 and 12 hours (we got 3 different medicines to give her) poop but so far so good.

clunked out

She's slept most of the time she's been home and things are looking up for her. She has a pain patch on her that will continuously give her pain relief for like 3-5 days which is awesome! We will see what the doctors say tomorrow for her check up ^__^ but so far so good don't think there will be anymore trouble for tonight.
