Here we go again!

So we've been going back and forth about going to the states. I got the Ok from Steve on Friday about us going today and then this morning his fucking mom decides (last minute) that she wants a bunch of shit done and she's so fucking stupid she can't do it her fucking self so she has to make Steve do it. And of course the little puppet is doing what it is told and he wants to leave early to deal with his mom's stupid bullshit.

She knew full well that we are leaving today, she could have mentioned this shit yesterday, or the day before. Nope, she has to spring it up last minute because I guess her little mind processed the fact that she was going to be alone for a few days and she couldn't handle that.

I mentioned in August that his mom was getting pissed off because I wanted to visit my sister and since she wanted to go shopping in the states we might as well go for a visit, she absolutely, unequivocally knew that I won't be able to see her until December and Steve promised me that we would come down now.

Steve and I argued through text messages about why we have to come back early for the simple errands she can do herself and he told me "you won't understand because its a cultural thing" HOW IS IT A CULTURAL THING? EVEN MY KOREAN FRIENDS AT SCHOOL TOLD ME THIS IS ABNORMAL!!!!! and I understand full well your mom is incapable of doing anything beneficial for your family now, its official. Its no wonder why his fathers side of the family absolutely hates her, she contributes nothing but reaps the rewards.

She leaves to Korea on Thursday (hope she gets murdered) and the plan was to stay at Ashley's place till Wednesday morning, like fuck we literally see his mom everyday, Steve does everything for her everyday, HE DID HER FUCKING HOMEWORK FOR HER YESTERDAY! And he went to the store to get a duplicate receipt for her laptop that she lost and did her fucking banking, while she did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

How does she expect to care for geriatric patients when she can't even figure out youtube? or google?

Her view on homosexuality is absolutely horrid. She is extremely uneducated when it comes to homosexuality and sex. She said to me "Do all gay people have HIV?" "They're all mentally retarded right?" "they must have a mental condition" "does his dick not work?" "if you have anal sex you automatically get HIV right?" I was absolutely shocked when I heard these words spoken out of her mouth, she seriously flipped out when she found out Anderson Cooper was gay. When she told me all this I told Steve "your mom is absolutely ignorant when it comes to sex and homosexuality and we need to educate her" and he said to me "all Koreans think like that so whatever leave her alone" (<--WRONG!) and then she asks me to ask my homosexual friend's mom to help her get a job when she graduates, umm no fuck you, he owes you nothing especially after basically saying that he's mentally retarded.

**********

Every week since she started school its "amanda can you edit this for me?" or "can you write this for me?" and "can you read this and tell me what it means?" and she knows that I go to school full time for ACTUAL CREDITS THAT COUNT FOR SOMETHING not for some stupid program that finishes in 4 months with a practicum that is full of people who don't speak or write english well. Grades don't matter in this class she's taking, they're passing this girl that has failed every single exam that should be getting 20% So yeah I don't think it really matters if I edit her crap or not. If I don't do it, Steve ends up doing it.

So basically its like why even go to school if your not willing to do the work? She paid Steve $100 to do her 6 page project on elder abuse and I'm guessing that she didn't learn anything about that. She's like "I got an A" on random projects we did and its like no you didn't we did lol.

Basically we're leaving a day early now, which is fine I wanted to leave on Wednesday (the more time we can spend away from her the better) but a day early is better than nothing and really its not like Steve likes his mom at all, he even told me that. They don't get along, they barely talk to each other unless she wants him to do/give her something and they pretty much have nothing in common besides the fact that they are related. But he insists that he's the son and he has to do these things because its the Korean way and my friends at school (who are Korean) counter-argued that and said that they are the eldest sons and even their mothers don't do these things.

I have a feeling plans will change again real soon, will keep this updated as things progress throughout the day.

I hope to god Karma gets her.

February Update 2013

Short update, nothing really has happened this month.

Steve's mom is gone! WOOO!
but she'll be back in April T_T whyyy god! lol

Things have been so relaxed at home since she's left.
We wake up when we want when we have days off and Steve isn't randomly punching things because he gets mad when his mom bosses him around LOL.

I can't help but shake the feeling Steve's mom is planning things with him and he's not telling me. For example making him move out without telling me. I caught him looking at apartments on craigslist and he told me he was just bored... -___-' I go on Youtube when I'm bored! *sigh*

His friend recently passed away and he asked me what I thought of the situation.. I told him I didn't want to say because he would get pissed off -___-' which I will talk about later, I guess when everything cools off with that situation.

**********

A majority of my Asian friends are going back this year and its totally making me jealous.. I want to go back too!  T_T but in the winter not in the summer lol. I'm hoping to plan Ashley and Amanda's Adventure Time Part 2! LOL Ash if you are reading this you are probably like wtf lol.

I'm leaning more towards going to Hong Kong because we've never been there (we as in Ashley and me and if she doesn't want to go then Steve lol) We know how to speak Cantonese so speaking and listening wouldn't be so difficult but reading will be hard lol. But i think it will be fun!!

I was going to ask my best friend to go but he said something about how Hong Kong is very business oriented but the people are really stupid so I was like fuck you plus I know he'll be super racist if he goes, so no. I'm not even going to mention that I'm going to him.

So I'm starting my plans on traveling in the winter time only for a week though, I'm not sure if anybody really wants to go with me though T_T lol. Any suggestions about HK would be helpful! :)

Interesting Search

Sorry for the lack of updates
I've been quite busy with school and getting Steve ready to go to Calgary.
Plus Steve's mom leaves on Wednesday! PARTY TIMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking through my stats a few days ago and I noticed somebody searched:
"How to fuck a Japanese tourist in ha...."
either Hawaii or Hanauma bay which I thought was pretty amusing.

I'm pretty sure its a guy who searched that lol. Plus I don't think many single Japanese girls would fly there with friends to party and sleep with guys, most girls I saw were with their families or their boyfriends.. lol, so good luck to you whoever searched that.

 Hello to you! whoever searched that!

I guess I should limit my swearing on this blog.. lol and if you didn't know yes you can see that stuff apparently, no worries though! I don't know who you are :)

**********

In other news my skin has been breaking out lately and I'm trying out one of the new sheet masks I bought from T & T and so far its niccceeeee! not sure how the final result will be but I like a good sheet mask! makes my skin feel so refreshed!

**********

Steve is back from Calgary, didn't do too well with his job interview process >.< but I told him he'll have other opportunities anyways. I got out of school at 6:15 today (usually 6:30) and he told me his flight would arrive at 8:04 so I figured that by the time I took the skytrain to the airport and got a coffee/tea he would arrive. He sent me the itinerary and when I looked at it in the email it said his flight arrived at 10:04 and I was like WTF. So I waited like 3 hours for him at the airport. I was super GRUMPY -___-'

I don't think I've been in an airport for that long and not actually go somewhere >.< I WANT TO TRAVEL SOOOOON! Most of my friends are traveling to Asia this summer and I WANT TO GO TOOOOO but I'm so broke!!!!!!!!! T__T but I don't like traveling when its hot out anyways, I would prefer to go during Spring/Fall/Winter ^__^ I definitely prefer the colder climates than the warmer ones, my sensitive skin can't handle hot weather. Vancouver is a fun place in the summer not so much any other time of the year.

Poo maybe I will wait till winter rolls around probably go to Japan/Korea in the winter! :D I like bundling up.

Do you have travel plans?

Hawaii - Day 1

Fuck me, its 6 AM right now... our flight is at 9AM, I hate early flights they suck!

before we packed all our stuff
 Me and Ashley are sharing the suitcase

At least my side luggage is packed :D

**********

Took a while to get to the airport because the GPS on Ashley's phone and her husbands phone sucked and took us to random places lol we made like two large circles around the Airport, Seattle should consider getting new signs...

On the way to the airport at 7AM

 In line to give Hawaiian Airlines our Baggage

 On the way to the gate!

I look horrible today! didn't wash my hair lol

Security and boarding was smooth no hiccups there, the flight on the other hand was a different story... We sat in the middle row that had three seats with some random guy.

 The guy on the left brought his own thermos and kept asking the flight attendants 
to fill it up with coffee and near the end of the flight he was in the bathroom for like 40 minutes lol

 I don't really like flying with airlines that don't have your own private screen
Plus they were playing some weird movie and stuff about Hawaii...
looked boring.. I know I'm a snob

 We didn't get an in-flight meal but we got these pretty snack boxes

 But the stuff inside tasted weird... especially the cookie lol
I bought the drink at a concession stand at the airport

WTF is this. Seriously the fucking guy who made this 
probably just cut up half a brick of butter and just slapped it in there.

The guy that was sitting beside Ashley wasn't sure what it was and took off a chunk of it and ate it and was like nope! lol

**********

The airport in Hawaii is a little different than any of the ones I've been to. We had to take this bus to pick up our baggage or walk there which would've taken us approximately 25 minutes. Then we hopped on this bus that dropped us off at the hotel.

 Riding the bus to pick up our baggage

 The first time I saw a real palm tree! :D

 The bus we rode

 Got free shell necklaces.. Steve wanted me to get him some so... done! lol

 For some reason I always thought Hawaii would be more lush..

 Tons of portable bathrooms because there's a marathon tomorrow

I think it took about 20 minutes or so to arrive at the hotel which on the outside looks really pretty but the hotel room is alright.. lol reminds me of this super cheap motel me and Steve stayed at in Spokane.

But I guess I shouldn't have expected much seeing as this was an old historic building.

 Murder Hallway lol

Since its December they put up tons of Christmas decorations up which seems a little off to me just because its summer weather here.

 We got complimentary water and ice bucket lol
plus there's a small TV and dresser

The bathroom looks exactly like the one me and Steve used
at the motel in Spokane lol

Super tiny

Room comes with a safe and mini fridge in the closet
Also complimentary slippers, hair dryer and robes in there too

 Our big bed... yeah we unpacked before I took a nice photo lol

 Little desk


 Our view outside, we could probably spy on people across the street if we wanted to.
I guess that's another benefit to ocean view rooms lol

I don't know if you can tell but this chair has tons of stains in it LOL
 yeah.. not sitting there

Helloooo

 Us wandering around!

 Ashley wanted to eat Puka dogs (that what its called?) so she guided the way
and we went through the market place

There are TONS of Japanese tourists here
The stores here do cater to them a lot, there are lots of Japanese writing and speakers.

The market place reminds me of the night market in Richmond

Koi fish pond!
The fishes in here are so fucking fat lol

 So the guy in the red cap (if you can find him) will charge you $1 if you take a picture of his fucking birds. Seriously, he didn't catch me or anything but he has signs up that say that plus if you give him $12 he'll take 5 photos of you with the birds O_O what a fucking rip off. Such a scam.

 This is the hot dog place Ashley keeps talking about

 You get a choice of a Polish hot dog or a Vegetarian one

 I like that the sauces are dispensed like soda lol

 The bun isn't cut in the middle which is cool there's a hole and they just stick the hot dog in and its filled with whatever sauce you picked which I thought was pretty neat

We also wandered around the Galleria which is full of luxury brand goods

We didn't really do much this first day just wandered around really. My throat is killing me I seriously don't know how I got it I'm not sick either which is weird, I just have a fucking cough and sore throat which I hope will go away by Monday because we're going snorkeling and I think its going to effect me. I should go find a pharmacy and hopefully they can give me something. We also got some stuff at the convenience store just in case we get hungry/thirsty... and booze lol. More exploring tomorrow!

Adventures to Come

We get to go to Hawaii on Saturday!! Wooohoooo!
Although I don't think me and Ashley have much really planned but it'll be fun anyways!
I've never been there before! :D

I was contemplating whether or not I should get travelers insurance again. I guess its a good thing to have just in case. My stomach is on/off when it comes to sensitivity for the past year. I've been getting horrible stomach pains, I would wake up in the middle of the night because my stomach hurt.

I'm not sure if its what I've been eating or what but the doctor just told me "its cyst pain" I was like ok... lol. I'm pretty sure its not and I'm starting to think its stuff I've been eating but I can't pin point what it is exactly.

Ok Last night I went out with my friend and had a lot of cheese:

- Cheese balls
- Cheese fondue
- Sandwich with cheese in it lol

its no wonder I'm fat lol. But I don't think it was what I ate last night because it was hurting this morning and its not like achy pain either I get shaky and hot with cold sweats. I drank a cup of grape juice and ate some pho.. So I don't know what it could be, I'm thinking its the grape juice. Anyways I want to start eating healthier so I'm going to try to cut down on the processed/artificial food.

**********

On another note I finished sewing the mattress! LOL. There was a rip in it and it was gradually getting bigger so I finally had it and went out to buy some sewing needles and some strong thread.

 Giant rip O_O

Shazaaam! ok I didn't do a good job but that's cause I just wanted to close the hole lol

**********

So far Ashley and I have booked a snorkeling thing for Hawaii, a Luau, hiking, high tea and still contemplating this day adventure thing. At some point I want to get my hair done there because there's lots of Japanese hair salons there and some shopping obviously :D

On another note I got my Mexy order last week as well as some phone cases I got on Ebay which I will do a post on later.

Anyways back to packing/cleaning! >.<

sorry for the uneventful post, I'll post something more interesting soon :D

Arrived in Colorado

What a long day holy smokes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pre-Vacation Prep

Meeeoooow

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

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

**********

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**********

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spicy wontons! so gooood

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

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

 The wait staff brought him the wrong dessert lol

 Random shots of the restaurant

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

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

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