Short story time!

Late Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday and have fun partying tomorrow on new years eve!

I wanted to write this out while it is still fresh in my mind

Well its not really a story as it is just some stupid shit that really pissed me off lol

Last night I spent the night at Steve's place and his mom was at work and his sister was out having dinner with her friends.

Steve's sister took his mom's car cause she didn't want to bus home and she asked Steve to pick up their mom from work, he said no cause he has to work early in the morning (leaves at 6AM gets up at 5AM to get ready for work) and she gets off at like 11PM so he wanted some extra sleep. Plus his sister works in the morning too (by 9AM) so he figured by 11PM she'd be heading home. So she said fine I'll pick her up.

When his mom came home she was all super pissed off, she freaked the fuck out at him because his sister had to leave her friends to pick her up and then go back. She was like going opening and slamming drawers and doors, kept swearing and yelling about how he was selfish and only thought about himself and that he doesn't give a shit about the family.

I was like WHAT THE HELL, he does nothing but do shit FOR the family, your daughter DOES NOTHING!!! She only cares if his sister has a good time and looks good in front of her friends but doesn't give a shit about making him do everything and add on more stress.

I was like WTF, so your daughter parties with her friends and takes no responsibility to pick you up with YOUR car and you freak out at your son for not picking you up cause you wanted your daughter to have a good time with her friends... *slow claps*

That really pissed me off, its his sisters problem, shouldn't be his like wtf, if his mom had such a big ass problem with it she should have said something earlier, making it a huge problem is fucking stupid.

One day we get back from our trip from the states and she's already being extremely selfish

Jesus!

December Update

This is basically going to be a few months worth of updates since I don't post as much anymore. Now that I'm on Christmas break I finally have the time to sit down and write a proper post :)

WARNING: long post ahead, no pictures LOL

**********
School

I'm almost done school! Its taken up the majority of my time, I only see Steve like once a week lol since I have no time to do anything. I'm going to school to become a medical lab assistant and the past two months. I've been super tired probably due to blood loss LOL. Its been tough but I'm contemplating whether I should go back to school for another program my school offers, but I guess I will wait and see.

Yesterday we had our final for microbiology which was almost cancelled because this random alarm went off lol but we ended up doing the written exam (it was a procedural final and a written final) we did do the procedural but it was quicker than normal because of the alarm.

I made some good friends from the class but I have a feeling I will lose touch of some of them super quick after we graduate. Two for sure I know I will try to keep my friendship with but others... who knows.

Just two more months of school and then I'm done! :)

**********
Family

Next week we go to Ashleys!! WOOO but I'm so broke, like really broke that I'm not even sure if I should go or not ahahahah, but if I get a job after I graduate I won't be able to see Ashley or her husband until.. who knows?

I have a feeling my dad feels sad because none of his daughters will be home for the holidays but its not like we ever celebrated christmas to begin with. 

My mom is getting crazier by the day and I have a feeling she actually has to kill someone with the car until she gets her license taken away or for her case to be taken seriously because her driving is fucking insane. I cringe every time I get in the car and watch her drive >.<

**********
Steve and his family

Oh boy... this one might be a long one lol

Let's see where to start, Steve's mom didn't get some work for a few weeks and in between that time I swear to god she went absolutely insane. She kept getting pissed off at Steve for not doing shit for her (like pay bills, buy groceries, get gas for her car) she got pissed off to the point where she would slam doors and freak the fuck out and he would get super pissed, then I would get pissed. 

I told him: "she's got no excuse not to do any of those things, you're (steve) working full time and she's not working right now and she's at home all the time. She has all the time in the world to do that shit, why is she making you do it? Not only that you have a sister who is a secretary who can do all of those things, why doesn't she ask her to do it, why does it always have to be you? She's not stupid as far as I know, just being lazy"

He was like yeah wtf, I guess he never looked at it from my point of view but he freaked out at her and said all the shit I said and she's backed off for a bit but I know its not going to last. The thing is he allows her to do all of that by enabling her, he'll do stuff to shut her up but it doesn't teach her any thing. It really makes me wonder what he will do in the future when he moves out and she has to do all that stuff for herself. She'll probably just bribe him with money to do it for her - that's my guess.

His sister started working as a executive secretary at a hotel in Vancouver. It makes me wonder how her work ethic is because when she's at home, she's super lazy, she doesn't want to do anything, she even gets his mom to drive her to and from the work place where she could bus easily there. Plus when she goes out drinking with her friends she gets their mom to pick her up all the way from downtown but when Steve needs a lift when he's been drinking he has to take a bus home because they both are too lazy to go pick him up.. wtf!

Steve's mom freaked out at Steve for playing video games and said to him "you don't give a shit about the family, all you care about is yourself" (because he plays video games LOL) and it made me wonder what role she thinks his sister is playing in the family. But she probably gets to get away with things like this because she's a girl and I know his mom likes to emphasize gender roles "you're my son you're supposed to do things for me" that bullshit.

**********

Got a few posts being edited so stay tuned for those! (Beauty and some makeup posts!)

Steve's Sisters BF

So earlier in the summer I finally met Steve's sister's boyfriend.

Steve's mom told me she absolutely hates him lol and that she's worried that she'd marry him because he didn't finish his education so he could help out at his mom's restaurant. Its not that she hates him as a person its that she wants to know he will have a more stable career in the future.

Which is understandable I guess but she could try to like him? I automatically felt bad for this dude because I never met him, and I've been in his shoes (maybe I still am in his shoes) where his mom wants them to break up lol.

His family owns a Korean restaurant and its pretty popular according to Steve's sister so his family is pretty wealthy and I guess he wants to expand on that in the future but who knows.

So he went to Korea in the summer and on the way back he had a layover in Vancouver for 12 hours and we all decided to have lunch together and Steve's sister was going to spend the rest of the day with him showing the city and going out to eat and etc.

When I first saw him right off the bat my gaydar went off LOL. He had feminine features but I guess its a common trait most FOB Korean guys have lol. Let's just say he likes to dress well - jewellery on both hands (rings and bracelets and watches), pierced ears, and interesting clothing choices. Let's just say, he enjoys the finer things in life. He gave Steve a limited edition Lacoste T-shirt that was like $300 apparently and some other expensive crap lol (buying friendship? Maybe, he is trying to impress her older brother lol) But I think you get the picture on what type of clothes he likes (hint: expensive)

So I gave him the benefit of the doubt when I first met him. Automatically when he came he SUCKED UP real hard to Steve's mom and to Steve but when it came to me, he absolutely didn't even bother trying to talk to me or anything. It was my first time meeting him so I asked him:
"how was your flight?" - Ignored
"Are you tired from your trip?" Ignored
"What do you want to see in Vancouver?" -Ignored

So I was like fuck this shit. Automatically I hated him and I still do well maybe not hate, I just dislike him a lot lol. I get that you're trying to impress Steve's family and shit but you know you don't have to be a fucking asshole lol.

What really sealed the deal was when we dropped him off at the airport, Steve's mom didn't come with us since she had to go to work but he hugged Steve's sister good bye, shook Steve's hand and didn't say a word to me or anything, no wave - just nothing. Maybe he's got a problem with non-Korean people? but who knows. First impressions are pretty important in my book and well he just isn't worth knowing now.

I learned nothing about this guy except a few things: likes to kiss ass, rude, cares about money and status, might be gay. Me and Steve had a good laugh when I told him that I thought he was gay at first, I said "maybe he's one of those guys who marries a woman but then comes out of the closet like 30 years down the road, don't be surprised if it happens" he agreed LOL

But I didn't really tell him about what I really thought about this guy and I really could've influenced his relationship with Steve and Steve's mom in a beneficial way but I'm going to tell Steve what I really think about him.

I already get the impression from Steve that he doesn't like this guy so I guess it won't really change much anyways.

A & P

HOLY SHIT, lol

I totally underestimated the amount of time and effort that went into this program, whoever thought of 3 weeks of anatomy and physiology with tests EVERYDAY must have been insane lol. Basically you learn a chapter in one day and do the test for it the next day...

I finished on Thursday :D I was highly stressed out and I kind of think I was losing too much hair out of my head O_O but as soon as my teacher told me my mark I just felt a giant weight lift off of my shoulders :) but I just started taking biotin to see if my hair will get better or not.. will update on that in a few weeks :)

A few people didn't make it through the class and might be asked to leave the program if they don't get a minimum mark of 70% on their re-write exam, so I hope they make it :)

**********

On another note, I got my scrubs from school... and they're freaking massive LOL. I ordered a size small for the top and a medium for the bottom (big booty according to Steve lol) but they're so long haha

its like a freaking dress lol

I have a different set of scrubs that I ordered from Amazon (small top and extra small pants lol) and they're fine but these... are interesting sizes lol.

T-minus 5 more months until I graduate! I'm crossing my fingers for a job :)

September Updates

So... I started school last month, which is a huge reason why I've been neglecting this blog >.<

I started school at a private college (which is a reason why I started in August) and nearly didn't get in, the program I'm in is a 6 month program to be a medical laboratory assistant.

I chose to stop my other schooling because well, it was just taking WAY too long and I just can't stand being at home any more. I seriously think that if I stay here for another 3 years I will commit suicide and honestly this is a great stepping stone into something else if I choose to upgrade later on.

So far the school is great, I've made lots of friends and I found out that I'm the weirdo of the class LOL. This month though is probably gonna be one of the toughest months for the program, we're learning lots of medical terminology and anatomy and physiology (which we haven't started yet) and basically there's a test every day so my brain is fried at the moment lol.

So there goes the summer lol.

**********

I had a discussion with Steve about the future and I told him that I will most likely abandon my parents, probably right after I get a job, hopefully after this program.

I feel like our relationship is beyond rebuild/repair, only because they're not willing to admit the mistakes they made and continue to make and them believing that everyone else is the problem besides themselves.

I told him that I do worry about if/or when the time came when we got married or had kids and I honestly don't want them to be a part of it. I'd worry about my mom causing a scene at my wedding and her spreading lies to Steve's family (like she tried to in the past) or call me a slut while I'm walking down the aisle in Vietnamese so she can snicker with her friends, like at Ashley's wedding.

Or if we had kids I would not want either of my parents to be around them. I can't trust my mom around any kids, she has no sense of right or wrong, even when she drives she almost hits people with the car and she blames them for "getting too close." It's just not happening with my kids, I'm not willing to take the risk and Steve understands (or so he says lol) I know his mom is not going to understand, she can't understand that kids can hate their parents.

My parents can't understand that either, both my parents and Steve's mom share the same mentality about it. Basically (I'm sure I've said this somewhere in a previous post) they believe that Money=Love the more you spend the more you love your kids, it doesn't matter if you're abusive or neglectful, in their eyes they think they're great parents, and sadly its something my parents and Steve's mom share.

I don't hate my entire family, just my parents, they're just not supportive or anything. I see how successful our cousins are and its because their parents actually tried to help them be successful in the future.

(had a tough morning lol its why I'm about them)

So that's that, moving on.

**********

I'm hoping to make at least 1 post per weekend, I have tons of stuff to talk about and share but SCHOOL! lol. I have an exam on Monday but I gotta get some motivation to post stuff lol or at least pre-write some posts so I can just update this blog lol.

If you're wondering what's happening with Steve and his crazy family, That needs its own post LOL. Honestly there's a lot of weird shit and a lot of shit to talk about lol.

So again, so sorry about the neglect!

I'm also thinking of renaming this blog, only because I kinda feel like Style Pop is kind of irrelevant to what I'm doing now lol, maybe I'll just move over to a new blog :)

Thanks for the read!

The Face Shop: Real Nature Mask Avocado

 Avocado sheet mask!

So sorry I've been neglecting the blog! Lots of things have happened at home >.< but I will provide the details on that later. I've been meaning to catch up on some beauty/skincare products but I've fallen way behind.. poot!

Let's jump into it! A few christmas's ago Steve's mom gave me some sheet masks which I've been neglecting since I have TONS but I finally got around to trying them (which I sort of explained in the lemon sheet mask)

The past few days my skin has been quite dull and flaky >.< stupid changing weather! (there was a heatwave last week but now its cold and rainy) so I used this today since it claims to re-energize dry and rough skin.

 The back!

I wonder if The Face Shop has upgraded more of their sheet masks after I received these, they're so much better than before but there's still some things to work on lol but its a major improvement.

The sheet absorbs the serum inside the packet really well, but the shape of the sheet mask is still odd (i get that everyone doesn't have the same size face but its so.. melty? that's the best way I can describe it)

ignore the lighting, its like 1AM lol

Still clings onto the face quite well. Taking the sheet out of the packet is kind of annoying, its folded in a way so that it takes while to get the sheet mask ready to stick onto your face and makes your fingers all goopey.

The scent of the serum is nice and it doesn't burn or sting my dry/flaky face, I feel like if you don't massage the serum into your face enough for absorption it leaves a light residue on your face..

Personally, I think this mask is great for the fall/winter but a little heavy for right now, since its a little warmer out. Its still nice and refreshing to have a sheet mask on but I think for the summer I want to use a lighter one that doesn't leave a residue on my face. But you know, everybody is different. Give it a shot if you can!


Don't Forget To:

***I've changed my Instagram name! Its now Mandaaar1 lol I thought StylePop101 kind of an odd name since I don't really do much with Style.. so I guess its slightly more personal now :)

May Updates 2014

So far worst month of the year lol.

I was supposed to visit Ashley earlier in the month but my stupid credit card got compromised (yay..) so I couldn't go and I was so pissed off! its been already a week and my fucking credit card hasn't come in the mail yet. So embarrassing trying to buy something with your credit card and getting it declined lol.

Then! I got my period late by like a week and I was freaking out lol, I think it was late because I went off the pill but when I was on the pill before my periods weren't irregular so.. wtf lol.

Steve dropped his Samsung Galaxy S4 and it broke for the second time in 6 months AND he had one of those shock absorbent phone cases that's supposed to help soften the fall or whatever and it did not work at all and it was like a 2-3 foot drop. So now he has to blow like $300 to fix his phone, he's never getting a Samsung phone ever again since it is the second time and honestly, you would think that a $700 phone would be able to endure a 2-3 foot drop without the screen shattering.. Iphones are more sturdy from our experience lol.

**********

We went to the states the other day just to pick up a package (doesn't take that long to just cross the border) and it pisses me off so much when people overload the shit out of their cars so crap comes flying off of them when you drive behind them.

Steve bought a new car (not sure if I mentioned it..) and this bitch had dirt and rocks in her truck and was driving on the highway when suddenly all these rocks and dirt came flying at his car (secure that shit, really! or better yet clean it out!) it chipped his windshield (in 3 different places) and his paint, and I highly doubt ICBC will do shit about it because they don't care, I took a picture of the truck and wrote down their license plate. Steve was obviously super pissed about it because well ITS A NEW FUCKING CAR, he's had it for less than a month! I bet they'll say "its an act of god" or whatever and its not the fault of the person who owned the truck... could've been prevented if they had cleaned that shit out!

Then we came home and Steve and his mom got into an argument LOL what about? Well basically she woke him up at 5:30AM because she forgot to tell her management about her keycard at work so she wanted him to write out what to say in English for her and he was pissed off about it so he told her not to wake him up like that again unless she's got something written down and she FREAKED THE FUCK OUT he told her to do it the night before or at least have something written down so he can edit it but he had to write it on the spot. It was his day off and she's had tons of ESL classes and shit like wtf! SO LAZY! She can't really use the excuse "I don't know enough English" or whatever because she's taken tons of classes and University classes in Korea and its her fault if she can't do it because she makes everyone do it for her, she needs to learn and I've told Steve multiple times to let her learn on her own but he's such a puss about doing stuff for his mom lol.

She thought he was being totally unreasonable and "kicked" him out but lets get real here, she can't live by herself, she's incapable of living by herself.

**********

I'm getting even more and more pissed off lately at Steve, only because he's SO FUCKING LAZY, he doesn't want to go out or do anything! I waited 2 hours for him to come to the gym with me and he just put up a pissy little attitude the whole fucking time and he always tells his friends how "active" he is by hitting the gym and playing hockey which is a complete lie, only plays hockey for maybe 15 minutes? might be a 40 minute game but he's not on all the time and he's not even that good of a player anymore because physically he's not what he used to be. Maybe its a combination of stress from work and stress from his mom? Not really sure but he needs to figure out a balance or he's going to implode.

What's great is THEY'RE FINALLY MOVING OUT! The weird thing? His mom doesn't want to tell his dad that they're moving, which I find really weird. I mean its your husband and you don't want to let him know that you're moving your family into a different home? His dad just earned like a thousand respect points from me because he does so much shit for them and this is the kind of treatment he gets. I mean it won't be a big deal if you tell him if you're moving, keeping it a secret will probably be a big deal because, why keep it a secret? That's really freaking weird..

Anyways that's basically it for May, my birthday is in a few days -___-' (and I bet some how it'll be ruined) and my class starts next week, wish me luck!

Bio-Essence: Tanaka White 4X Flawless White Serum

A very interesting serum

First let me start with, I think mine may actually be expired or something is wrong with it lol because I'm not entirely sure on what the serum is supposed to look like but whenever I try to use the dropper no product goes into it and it just looks really weird. Maybe its supposed to be like this? But I'm really not sure... someone let me know! lol

The directions and description of this product are all in Chinese... so I don't know if I'm using it right or not lol but its a serum so I'm pretty sure there's no way to get it wrong :P

 Gorgeous packaging

If some of you aren't aware of Bio-essence, this skincare brand is from Singapore and they've expanded to other parts of Asia! I hope they come out to Canada I would love to try more of their products :D

I got this on sale at Sasa and for the price, I must say the packaging is so nice! It looks and feels like an expensive brand but its super affordable :)

I finally finished up the Nature Republic serums. I think it got to the point where it just didn't do anything anymore because I was just trying to use it all up >.<

Here's where it gets weird

Although the packaging is great, there seems to be something wrong with my dropper thing, that's the max that it fills up and it seems to have problems suctioning the serum inside, I can see the serum if I look into the bottle (which is full of serum) but it just has problems suctioning it..

As for the serum itself, it smells nice. Its quite thick but doesn't feel heavy so a little goes a long way and it absorbs really nicely.

Looks like fluid from a cyst.. lol

It might not look great but it does a great job. The formula is quite nice and I think I see some results which is great! It really smoothed out my skin texture and I think it is slowly evening out the redness/dark areas on my skin O.O! The formula for this serum is quite nice, it didn't break me out at all and I have pretty sensitive skin :)

Will repurchase! Hopefully it doesn't stop working well for me like the other serums I used before did and I can't wait to try the other bio-essence serum I have in my collection :D

Over It

As most of you know, I love to bitch about my shitty parents.

I've really just had enough, they don't listen to reason and think they're the greatest thing ever and just put me down all the fucking time and I'm just done and over it.

I had the mentality of "when my parents get old I'll take care of them because they paid for my education and stuff" but FUCK THAT, they really think they can treat their kids like pieces of shit and then get rewarded for it when they get old just because they paid for education (only college nothing else).

They gave us NO LIFE SKILLS WHATSOEVER they just thought the government and the schools will handle it all. We don't know how to swim, ride a bike, drive a car or anything! I learned how to fucking cook in grade 11! Through a cooking program my school offered. At least Steve's shitty parents gave all of that to them but not our parents, I'm fucking learning how to drive like 10 years after Steve got his license.

Then my mom goes on to say "all of your cousins are better than you because they know how to do drive and do all these things and YOU DON'T" I'm like WTF, MAYBE ITS BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS LOVED THEM AND WANTED THEM TO SUCCEED IN LIFE. Seriously any time my mom had the funds to put us in a extra curricular class or program or anything that can help us boost our education or life skills she'd spend it all at the casino and my piece of shit dad didn't care he was just like "well as long as I'm feeding you, you'll be successful" What an idiot.

I feel so robbed out of my childhood and my life, all of my friends have supportive parents who pushed them into great careers and its given them great life skills and their parents supported them throughout their school careers and work lives and mine are just fucking crazy and abusive (mentally).

They're going to get the consequences of treating people like shit, their ultimate karma, loneliness but I guess they still have each other until one of them dies, I really will not ever forgive them for doing these things to me and Ashley, why should I? They''ll think they're right still because "they had us." I guess its the Asian mentality of "I had you so I'm right and you're wrong because I'm older than you" that bullshit.

I've wished death on my parents for many many years and now I just hope that it comes before I finish school so I can at least have some peace of mind instead of being a hermit at home and not talk to anyone that comes in the house.

I'm just going to try my best to graduate and get my ass out of this house for good and never see them ever again. My cousins, aunts, uncles can guilt trip me all they want about how I should take care of them because they "took care" of me and my sister but fuck that.

I am not rewarding abusers and nobody ever should if their parents treat them like shit.

Sana: Pore Putty BB Cream

Japanese BB Cream!

I've seen this product on sale at T & T supermarket in Vancouver (specifically the metrotown location) but I never thought about buying it, plus they jacked up the price on this product so its a good thing I ordered it off Sasa.

 Its actually quite a small bottle

Only 30g.. its quite a small, cute bottle but a little goes a long way with this. 

 Oh man gotta do the nails.. lol

No pump >.< but it has a nice dispenser and also dispenses cleanly. The BB cream has SPF 50+  in it and it doesn't claim to have any anti-wrinkle ingredients or whitening effects but it is nice and creamy, as far as I know there's only one shade available on Sasa (I'm not entirely sure if there are other shades..) it has pretty good coverage (I would say its medium coverage but buildable)

 From makeup free, to bb cream on, to the end of the day

Ok! So I decided not to use primer with this BB cream because I wanted to test it without a primer, the first few hours were fine but throughout the day I felt my face become more and more oily (I have oily/combination skin) I did set the BB cream with powder. I feel like if you do use a mattifying primer this bb cream would be amazing. It covers my redness really well, as well as, a few blemishes I have on my skin.

I'll have to give it a go again with a mattifying primer hopefully I'll have better results at the end of the day.

If you don't have oily skin then I think this would be great for your skin :) give it a go!

Nude Lips - Your lips but better?

 Nude colors aren't for everyone. 

Your lips but better? Not all nude shades work well I've experimented with some nude colors and most don't seem to work for me lol. I think they look nice and all but for some reason they just look so odd on me.

Here's how it went with the nude colors lol.. it ain't pretty.

Apocalips - #100 Phenomenon

I love the colored Apocalips lip lacquers but not a big fan of this, its easy to add too much of this on the lips and make your lips look crazy lol, especially with my skintone, I can work it if I put a little on for subtlety but I don't think it works that well for me, so I will not repurchase lol.

 Rimmel - Moisture Renew #642 Nude Delight

 Slightly darker than the Apocalips one but not by much. Much better than the lip lacquer but I was hoping for more pigmentation from this lipstick. But for a drugstore brand its worth the price. Moisturizing, a great nude for the winter time.

 Nyx - Butter Gloss BLG 05 Creme Brulee

Oh man this smells heavenly, I literally want to eat this lol. It really makes your lips better and feel moisturized. Nothing negative that I can say :)

Keep in mind that although I personally don't like nude colors on my lips it doesn't mean you won't either. I just prefer a subtle pop of color :P What's great about all these products here is that they're all affordable! Give it a shot and let me know how it went!

I find that pink works better on my lips than actual nude colored ones, will do a blog post on that later!

Mother's Day

So... mother's day is over, its not like we really celebrate it anyways.. at least at my house.
Its a constant reminder of how much I hate my mom and how evil never dies lol.

If some of you have read some of my random posts about my family you'll know that Ashley and I have a horrible relationship with our mom, we just hate her... I'll explain in a bit if you don't already know.

I thought of doing something for Steve's mom (just like cheap flowers or something lol) but she went out with her friends so w/e don't give a shit lol.

**********

Now a back story

Since we were little our mom treated us like shit.

She was supposed to pick us up from school when we were like in Kindergarten and grades 1-5 but most of the time she would be at the casino and she'd forget about us. I remember having to walk home from school at like 6 years old (ashley was 8) by ourselves because we waited for her at the school till like 5pm. By that time basically all the teachers went home, I guess people assumed we lived close by or something because we would just play at the playground, otherwise, I'm sure someone would've taken us home instead of leaving little girls under the age of 10 alone. We walked home by ourselves (we literally had to walk 45 minutes to get to our house) Worst part of it all was when we got home we either had no keys because our parents couldn't trust us with them (we had to wait hours for our mom to get home) or our mom was home and she would say "oh I totally forgot about you" like it was nothing. I know some kids can walk home at such a young age but most have nannies or babysitters to pick up your kids after class and it also depends on how far away the school and house are.

I remember shutting my finger in a car door when I was in grade 1 when I was getting out of the car and she yelled at me and said that I was stupid (I was a 6 year old kid, folks) and she didn't take me to see the school nurse or anything she just drove off and left to let the school take care of it (got more stories like this, should start a blog series on them lol)

When we hit middle school I think that's when we realized how big of a psychopath she really was and our relationship separated even further. I had a few "close" friends in middle school and we'd have sleep overs quite often (better than being at home). Eventually our mom would be like "you're only going to sleep at your friends house because you want to have sex with their dad because you're a slut" .... yeah this started when I was like 13 years old, I had it worse off than Ashley (I think... lol gonna have to ask her) and it was about the time when I would just stop listening to her because the shit she said was just plain stupid according to her: "if you don't wear a jacket and you breathe in the cold air, your stomach will absorb the cold air and you will develop cancer and die" LOL

When I stopped listening to her that's when she started saying that I was possessed by demons, I was a slut and I was a drug addict because apparently all white people do drugs so that's why I kept going over to my friends houses after school -___-' and I've never done drugs and didn't lose my virginity till I was in my 20's lol and I'm still with the same guy so yeah, I'm a slut lol. Not sure about the demon possession LOL :P

In High School we argued a lot, I went to my friends house a lot because his family understood what I was going through (his mom had a bad childhood too) stayed there overnight quite a bit (got accused of sleeping around when I left the house in anger but my friend is gay so w/e lol) I don't think Ashley ever went away like that but I did a lot.

fast forward to now and I barely talk to her and when we talk she asks the same stuff over and over or just puts me down. She knows that Steve's moving out with his stupid mom and she keeps saying to me "you know he's just going to find another girlfriend because why would he want you?" "he probably has another girl to sleep with" and when I counter argue (he's moving out cause his sister is moving back to the city and how would 4 people live in a 1 bedroom suite?) she would say "i know him better than you do" "you don't know him like I do" like wtf, really! I just want to punch her.

**********

Anyways I hope most of you will understand why I hate mothers day and why I don't celebrate it.

Steve's mom is always like "you shouldn't tell people things like that, you should protect your mom" like I give a shit, I've tried to explain it to her so many times about how much I don't care about it and stuff but she doesn't understand, she knows these stories but she still thinks my mom is a great mom. Steve's mom is like a lot of Asian moms who think that because they gave birth to you and paid for your education etc... they're a great parent and you owe them and you owe them big.

If or when I break up with Steve, I never ever want to date a Korean or Asian person ever again unless their family is like whitewashed LOL and I will not let them meet my parents whatsoever.

Otherwise I hope you all had good mothers days LOL and realize how some or most of you are lucky to have a non-crazy mom... hopefully... lol

Another Sasa Haul

Another Sasa haul.. Went a little nuts this month lol

The main reason why I did another order was for the hair mask lol most of the other products are just filler.. lol.

 Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water

One of the top favorite products on Sasa, I wanted to get this cause I want to try using some more eye makeup but didn't really have a proper makeup remover for it so I purchased this! 

Super inexpensive (like $15) I didn't want to jump the gun on something like Bioderma that's double the price of this so its a good starting product and if it works well then that's good!

 Essential Rich Premier Honey Hair Mask

I've used the pink version of this before (the nuance airy one) but I heard this one is more moisturizing? I might be wrong but the pink one was good I just wanted it to be a little more moisturizing.

Essential Hair Serum

I've been using the Biosilk silk therapy oil stuff but I kind of think its not doing anything anymore lol but why not give this a shot so I ordered it.

 Heynature BB Cream

I was a little hesitant on purchasing this because it says "moist tightening" and since I have oily skin anything that says moist screams oily lol but maybe that's me. Not only that it was a bit on the pricy side (close to $30) I don't think I've spent that much on a BB cream before but we will see the end result.

Will write a post on this product later :P also there's only one color available (from what I saw) on Sasa.

Sana BB cream

I've never used a Japanese BB cream before and this one had 4/5 Stars based on its rating on Sasa but I ordered it anyway because it was like $15 lol. I know they sell this product at T & T at the Metrotown location but its like double the price >.< so yeah good deal on Sasa lol.

moop!

April Updates 2014

I think its been a while since I wrote a monthly update blog post >.< (as far as I can remember)

Steve's mom finally got some work so its nice to get her out of the house and I guess Steve's been a little relaxed about it cause he doesn't have to put up with her constantly haha but she still annoys the shit out of him by calling him a lot lol especially when we're out, I guess its better than being physically around each other. She's worked for 3 weeks now and today she went to Montreal so I was like wtf? there really was no point in going there since Steve's sister doesn't graduate till September... I wonder why she went? But she's been gone one day and he's super relaxed lol.

In my previous post I wrote about how they were supposed to move out by this month but Steve told me (a week before the new tenant was supposed to move in) that they'll move out by June and that the manager at the building they applied for has a suite ready for them in June and that he has to go look at it etc etc... SO ANNOYING!

So messy lol

So I had it with their shit so I moved back upstairs lol and my room is a complete disaster at the moment since I kind of just dumped everything into the room, most of my clothes are still in Steve's room lol. He got mad at me for coming upstairs lol he said to me "why don't you just wait till I move out then go upstairs?" and he's been asking me to sleep downstairs with him ever since I came back up lol but I say no, I've taken a few nap downstairs but that's about it. I think all there's left is to move my desk upstairs and sort out my clothes.

I WANT IT

This is the cutest dog ever! I love pekingese dogs! I really wanted to take this little guy home but I just got sad cause its probably a puppy mill dog... I really really hate pet stores! Plus my mom takes care of dogs horribly I would have to wait to either move out or for her to die... to get a dog cause she takes care of them really really badly.

My parents are dog sitting again.. and they are super pissed about it because they really did not want to take care of this dog again. They had to take care of him for 3 months and last week they had him for three days and now he's here for a few weeks... its like why even have a dog? They're all mad cause this time my parents said no they don't want to take care of him but the people brought him here anyways... and my parents are doing it for free. I really want to bring this dog to the spca cause he's so psycho lol.. and he's attacked Monet in the past, he tried to bite her tail off >.< so yeah not a good dog to have around plus he's so noisy for the tenants that live downstairs. If its not Steve's mom that's making noise its another... like really!

**********

In other news I finally got my nexus card! yay! No more border wait for us! :D unless for some reason the nexus line is slow... then fuck lol. Me and Steve are going to the states next week and he's going to leave me there for a few weeks haha until Ashley and her husband come up to Vancouver for her birthday which means... lots of play time with her doggies! ^__^ and eventually a haul from the states lol.

I'm in dire need of a haircut lol its been nearly a year since I've had a cut and I have TONS of split ends, the problem is I don't really know where to go to get my haircut, I had a place in mind but the wait is too long and I don't want to go back to the place where I was getting my hair cut before cause the guy just does whatever he wants now.. like NO I DON'T WANT SHOULD LENGTH HAIR so annoying! It took me forever to grow it out and to have it nice and long..

Century egg and pork congee

I have no idea why but I've been SUPER craving congee lately. Me and Steve went to a late night congee house but its so far away T_T and I'm way too lazy to make some.. I guess I'm just going to have to wait, poop.

 Went nuts at a Korean snack restaurant

Its not often we go to Coquitlam to get Korean food but when we do... we go nuts! I guess this place isn't so great cause both me and Steve got diarrhea LOL but the food tasted good hahahaha. I like the fish cake soup especially, the broth is really lightly seasoned and comforting.

Anyways I guess that's all I can ramble about this month, otherwise I got the marks I wanted from school so I'm super happy and I'm doing a summer class that starts in June >.<

What the hell?!

One of the more frustrating mornings I've had in a while... I think I wrote a past blog post in the past about how Steve and his mom are finally moving out, well.. They told me two months ago that they would be moving out at the end of March, now its April and they told me again that they'd be moving out at the end of April and NOW they're telling me they're going to be moving out at the end of May... THE HELL!!!!!!!

WTF I basically have another renter ready for next month (they know this) and then a week before the new tenant (technically she's a previous tenant) has to move in, she wants to sign a lease for 1 year, Steve tells me they can't move out till the end of next month because well his stupid mom not only took too long to find an apartment, she applied for the apartment they wanted perhaps too late, so now they might have to find a new place.

He basically told me "as soon as we get approved we'll be moving right away" they wanted to move out as soon as possible and tell us last minute.. like what the hell, in other apartment buildings you have to tell the landlord or management like a month in advance that you are moving out and you want to let us know when YOU get approved? I don't fucking think so, you had 3 months to find a place, you even flew your sister back to Vancouver to help find an apartment and now your telling us to wait another month?

You wouldn't do this to another landlord so why would you do this to your girlfriend's family?

Back Story:

Steve needed to move into our house cause well at the time he was working full time and he rented a suite that was like $1000 a month but his parents paid for it because he was basically a babysitter for their furniture LOL but they didn't want to pay for it. His wage wasn't that high so he couldn't afford to live there without his parents support.

I told my dad about his situation and one of our tenants in our smaller suite was moving out so he offered that to him FREE OF CHARGE. Steve was like oh that's great cause well he could save money and stuff. Then maybe 6 months later the tenant in the bigger suite moved out and my dad offered that to him for $700 a month cause we were renting that space out for more than that and my parents figured we wanted more privacy.

Then like a year later his mom decides she wants to abandon his dad and come live in Canada for some reason... and since she's lived here its been chaotic. She does whatever the hell she wants whenever she wants and doesn't even care who its disrupting.

So why are they moving? They say its cause when his sister comes back from Montreal they'll need a bigger place which is partially the reason why. The other reason is because apparently its too embarrassing to live at our house, I even talked about this with his friend who told me its some sort of "pride bullshit" <-- his words not mine lol. He says that she's too embarrassed to tell her friends that she rents the basement suite of his girlfriends house so she's been hiding it for like 2 years.

So yeah now that she's working she wants to move out.

**********

So now I have to email the girl back and basically be like well you can't move in till June now cause these assholes can't get their shit together and want to take advantage of my parents.

I seriously am babysitting them, ever since Steve basically moved in here, we should have raised the rent on them when his stupid ass mom decided she wanted to become Canadian and abandon his dad in Korea.

Frankly I can't wait till they move out, they're probably one of the worst tenants we've ever had and we've had fucking drug dealers live in our house LOL but at least they dealt with their affairs quietly and didn't have to drag my parents into their mess and didn't inconvenience them.

Boys and girls this is why you never rent to your boyfriend who has an idiot mom because:

-They paid rent late nearly EVERY month, the longest that they went without paying rent was 2 weeks and I had to remind them like every day

-They brought Monet into the house and didn't even bother asking my parents about her and didn't pay a pet deposit because according to his mom "your mom loves dogs so its ok" <-- NO FUCK YOU, ITS NOT YOUR HOUSE!

-Monet was not house trained or anything (constant barking, peeing and shitting everywhere in the suite)

-Loud as fuck every day, my dad can hear them all the way upstairs on the other side of the house (we have an odd long house)

-They basically destroyed the kitchen sink

So now we might basically lose a tenant for a year, a really nice tenant who's quiet for these idiots who can't figure their shit out.

At some point they wanted me to look at the application for they had to fill out for the apartment and BOY DID THEY LIE OR WHAT! LOL they didn't even bother putting my parents or my information down for the current landlord in case they need references and they wonder why the apartment management company won't call them back, its like well you gave them a shitty application and now your harassing them on the phone, would you rent a suite out to you?

This morning I had to fucking push them to find a new place cause you know what? They were supposed to move out TWO MONTHS AGO why should I constantly put a better tenant on hold so the shitty one can stay longer? I don't want to babysit them anymore..

Why do I have such bad Karma?

Nature Republic: Bee Venom Toner & Emulsion

Toner and Emulsion!

I've never found a product that could get rid of the redness in my face and unfortunately this ain't the product but let's talk about this product first.

I got this from Steve's mom as a gift when she went to Korea last December she actually gave me like 3 boxes because it was packaged together for a deal. I gave one box to Ashley and I'm currently using my first box.

 unfortunately no pump

I love Nature Republic but I wish they would update their packaging just a bit with a pump. Perhaps maybe it keeps the cost of the product down, but I feel like I'm wasting a lot of product when I'm trying to get it out of the damn bottle and I can't really put it back in without contaminating the whole bottle of product >.<

What the tops look like

These bottles are plastic and they actually have quite a nice bottle just add the damn pump! lol

In terms of using the product, the toner absorbs quite well, you can kind of feel it absorb into the skin... its hard to explain and it doesn't sting or anything when you put it on your skin and it keeps your skin nice and moisturized and it smells quite nice, I can't really describe the scent its like .... floral and earthy LOL I have no idea.

Light Emulsion

I think the emulsion is the problem for me, if you use too much your skin will look and feel oily and because you have to bang it onto your hand to get the emulsion out its a little hard to control how much comes out. Its not a thick emulsion its actually quite light but I found it a bit odd that it could make my skin so oily, maybe I have to use less? but even if I use less the same thing happens.

These two products at first did help with the redness of my skin but eventually it just stopped working maybe within a week or two of using the product it just stopped working for me and I've used this for months now. Maybe I have to use the whole bee venom line? I know they have way more products that I wish I tried with the toner and emulsion (like the cleanser or the spot treatment, sleep mask, sheet mask... list goes on)

I think I'm gonna switch it up next month and see if I can find a longer lasting redness reduction product for me.

Sasa Order - A small package

 Trying some new stuff

I ordered about 4 products a few weeks ago and it finally came! There wasn't anything I really needed besides a new cleanser because somebody was using all of mine! -___-'

Of course I took advantage of their free shipping over $40 worth of stuff offer so that's why I didn't order so much but next order... there's gonna be a lot more stuff lol.

 Skin Food - Black Egg Pore Primer

I've never really tried a primer before. When I wear foundation or BB Cream I just make sure my skin is moisturized. I have used the BB Boomer by Missha when I use their BB cream but I don't really think it does anything.. lol

 Shiseido - Perfect Whip Foam Cleanser

I've heard such good things about this cleanser that I wanted to try it out, I've been using nothing but Korean brand cleansers for the past two years so I thought I'd change it up. If creamy/foam cleansers aren't your thing then there's also a gel version and a cleansing oil that I'm interested in trying but I've never used a cleansing oil before...

Koji - Eye Talk Eyelid Glue

I'm working on a post with this at the moment lol but I've been wanting to try this for a long time and I finally purchased it! Hopefully it won't disappoint.

Sana - Liquid Eyeliner

I actually didn't really want to buy this.. but it had good reviews.. lol I can't really wear eyeliner because of my monolid but more about that later haha.

Finally I have some time to make some posts! This last semester at school really took over more time than I have hoped... but I hope you stick around :)

Thanks guys!

They're Moving!

HOLY CRAP!

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME well not exactly but its going to be happening soon, Steve and his mom are finally moving out of our house! ^____^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooo!

Ever since his mom came back to Canada its been hell for all of us, she's soooo needy! She tries to play it off like she's the quietest, most understanding, least resource consuming person in the house but its total opposite of that >.<

we had the highest water/electric bill we've had in years ($600!!! wtf!) double from last year and I automatically knew that it was his fucking stupid mom because I know she uses the most water and electricity in the house. She would leave all the fucking lights on and then leave the house! wtf! and when she showers she'll leave it running while using the sink to brush her teeth or w/e, and its like wtf do that shit first then shower! She tried to blame my parents for it and I was like wtf? Its not like they're asking you to pay for it, they're just telling you to use less water and turn off the fucking lights. But she got overly offended when we told her to limit the usage of water and electricity. -___-'

Lately she has been stressing the shit out of Steve, he's grown TONS of white hairs. Its mainly her asking him to do stupid shit for her that she can easily do but she decides to be fucking lazy. This morning she got upset at him and threw his bag, backpack and tool box at the door, blocking it... why? Because he wouldn't send a fucking email to her friend LOL WTF!

all because he wouldn't send an email

Oh and its his only day off during the week since he works and goes to school (works 4 days a week and goes to school 4 days a week) So I try to let him sleep in as much as he can but she woke him up at 9AM to delete one sentence off her resume and to send an email to her friend.

 Lol I had to block out his face
He grew tons of white hairs

I'm so fucking frustrated at her because these things she can easily fucking do for herself, and I'm pretty sure she knows how to do this shit, she's just being lazy. She should fucking learn to let him relax at least one day a week like WTF such a selfish woman she doesn't even think about her kids. I think she's one of those Asian parents who think that if you give them money/buy them stuff that means they automatically owe them something.

Ever since she "graduated" from her care aid program she's been desperately searching for an apartment to rent with Steve and his sister LOL. I put "graduated" in quotes because she didn't do ANY of her homework assignments and made us do it for her. She's been constantly harassing us all to write her a cover letter and resume and she actually flew out his sister for 3 days to write her resume and cover letter -___-' but I guess all her "hard work" finally paid off because she has an interview at the Lynn Valley retirement home, which I think she will get the job and then I will lose faith in humanity lol.

Anyways, the sooner they move out, the sooner I don't have to deal with her narcissism -__-'

Never in my life have I met someone like his mom, I even told Steve that when they leave I don't want to visit/see her for like many many years LOL. All of our friends (as well as my parents) have said that Steve is going to die young because his mom won't let him live his own life and he's going to stress out and die.

**********

They've had a few arguments this month mainly because she doesn't want him to play video games on his down time and she wants him to study more lol (he doesn't play excessively like he did before) but it got to the point where she just won't shut up about it and she called him selfish! LOL OMG! I was like are you kidding me?! He was like WTF, he got so angry, he confronted her about her selfishness and left the house for a few hours, she wasn't even upset about it at all.

Steve hates it when we talk about his family, he really doesn't want people to think he comes from a dysfunctional family but he really does but who am I to judge? My mom's super psycho because she's got dementia and shit and my dad cares about his kids and all but he doesn't really care about how badly our mom treats us.

**********

I want to break up with him because of his mom lol but he's a good guy in general he's just on tons of stress and I hate seeing him like this and if he moves out its just going to get worse, so good luck to him.

He's really going to need it.
