Rude Neighbours

We're probably not the best neighbours in terms of how the house looks and monet's barking lol but I'm guessing most of the people in our neighbourhood know that my mom has some sort of mental illness that's why she hoards shit and does weird things to the house.

Earlier today we took monet out for a walk and while we were walking this random white lady was riding her bike a head of us and when her friend came down the street they stopped and she said "hey look" and pointed at us and started snickering, I turned to Steve and was like wtf? he's like "i don't know.." and when they were riding off (cowards, cause they can't hold a normal conversation) they started yelling at us about some fucking statue that went missing off their property.

Here's what happened previously:

My mom went over to their place and wanted to buy some statue and they said no. So then randomly one day that neighbour comes to the house and knocks on the door and says to my mom who pokes her head out the window "were you the one that wanted to buy my statue?" my mom "oh yeah, is it for sale?" she said "no someone fucking stole my statue and you wanted it and if you stole it I'm going to call the fucking police and charge you! because it was really expensive" and I was like wow how rude do you have to be just ask politely like a normal person.

When she left and my dad asked my mom if she took it, she said no, I asked her later if she took it and she said no, I haven't seen this statue (I don't even know what its supposed to look like) and my dad hasn't seen it either (me and steve live on the bottom floor of the house so I'm not really aware on what's upstairs) So I can't say for sure that my mom did take it since neither my dad or me have seen it, I'm pretty sure we don't have it and if we did have it. Because of her shitty attitude I want to break it LOL, I know that's no better than being a bitch like those neighbours but here's the kicker:

They're the ones who hit monet with a truck back in the summer. They own the truck that monet got hit with (since its parked at their property all the time) the guy who hit her also said that they live in the house where these people live so I think in a way it's either karma that their stupid statue is gone. They never even came over to check up on the dog and the fucking guy that was driving the car NEVER APOLOGIZED!!!!!!! so yeah Karma.

I can't help but feel like they're going to do something stupid/dangerous like break into our house or something. There's a few things that seem weird like if that stupid statue was SO expensive then why leave it outside? Especially when Halloween was near because there's tons of weird teenagers that like breaking things in the neighbourhood and the way they handled things was super immature I mean pointing and snickering? Then yelling at people they've never seen before?

Next time I see them I'm just going to flip my lid if they're rude like that ever again.

I hold grudges lol especially to people who are super rude whom I've never met before.

Money and Relationships

I wish Steve was more aware of what he does and says around people instead of blaming them when I point out some of his issues.

We went out for dinner last night with my good friend and her boyfriend from college at a Chinese restaurant. We went to the bank beforehand because I told him "Its a Chinese restaurant its probably cash only, you should take out some cash" and he says to me "Why would they have cash only? Most places accept debit/credit so I'm not taking out cash" so in my head I was like this is going to be complicated later.

Generally when I go out with my friends I like to take out cash if its an Asian restaurant (for some reason most of them here accept cash only) and its better to pay in cash if its a group of people because its easier to figure out who paid for what.

Anyways, we ordered a few dishes to share amongst ourselves and when the bill came it was $60 including tip it was about $66 so I put down $20, my friend and her boyfriend put down $40 and Steve just sat there and was like "do they accept debit/credit?" I was like "seriously? this is why you take out cash" and then he asks "Does this place accept American dollars?" >.< !!!!!!!!!!! yes because most family run restaurants accept foreign currency ...

So my friend and her boyfriend ended up having to pay the difference because I only took out $20 and put down all the change I could and we all left awkwardly. I did scold him in the car on the way home he said he'll pay the whole thing next time but I doubt he will and then he got SUPER defensive and said "if she would just check her phone when you asked if it was cash only we wouldn't have this problem!!" even so I wish he would just take responsibility or even thank them for the meal but that wasn't the only issue.

At some point in the dinner he said "I can hit my girlfriend whenever I want (he doesn't) but I choose not to" and we were all like silent and awkward because he wants to be a police officer and its something you probably don't want to say out loud in a public place, even if it was a joke. When I brought this up today he said "they're just closed minded" -___-'

Financially this isn't the first time something like this has happened with the same friend. We went out for dim sum once and the bill was $50 my friend only had a $50 bill and didn't want to use her credit card. I gave my friend $20 and Steve took the $50 and paid with his credit card, the whole amount so basically he didn't pay for any of the food and she was like wtf and said that she's never seen him pay for anything.

Most of the time when we go out with his friends one of his friends pays for him because he says he's totally broke, which isn't the case. He's just saving money for stupid shit LOL. I talked to his friend about that today and he said that he knows that he has no money and one day he'll pay him back -__-' does he really think that his girlfriend who lives with him doesn't know him at all? Then he said "the person who is most financially stable should pay" -___-' !!!!!!! Ok I must be dealing with really inconsiderate people. Even if you make more money doesn't mean you should pay for people who  make less money than you... if you choose to go out you should pay for yourself, its not the responsibility of others!

Argh its just giving me a headache and I know that when Steve gets home he's going to rage and break something and he'll blame it on others instead of taking responsibility. A lot of people don't like his cocky attitude (I can't blame them)

Don't get me wrong I like that he's confident (most of the time) but when he's around certain people it just triggers his douchebag side. The problem is talking to him about certain issues because he doesn't like to talk about serious topics.

So tell me, how would you go about this issue?

Poop.

*update* Now that I think more about it I wish my friend would have handled this situation better than she did. I mean she could have said something then and there (he did ask if there was an atm but they said nothing) instead of staring at him all awkwardly or even given us a heads up on this place being cash only since we've never been to this place before. I'm not sure what I want to do but Steve is still oblivious to people's feelings and he should town down his cocky attitude when its someone sensitive. So far its ended on bad terms since neither of them want to see each other ever again :(

Etude House: Correct & Care CC Cream Glow

Second CC Cream Review!!

I'm not sure if some of you read my CC cream review by The Saem and some of you might remember that I couldn't use that because I broke out which made me sad since I waited for it to come in the mail for a long time lol.

So what are the functions of this CC cream? It has 8 in 1 functions, according to the box:

- Anti-Aging

- Stress Relief

- Hydration

- Whitening

- Sun Protection (SPF 30/PA++)

- Tone-up

- Smooth Texture

- Luminosity

This formula is more like a primer than it is a BB cream since this doesn't really provide any color coverage, its just like a cream with extra skincare benefits.

I'm not sure if your supposed to mix it with BB cream, foundation or just apply it directly onto your skin but I prefer to put it directly on instead of diluting whatever product I choose to put on afterwards. If you choose to only use the CC cream by itself then your face will be abnormally pale lol.

 Its quite small and it has a pump!

Its smaller than I expected but still worth the price. I've never really tried any products from Etude House except for the sheet masks and they aren't very good... lol. But I like this product and the packaging is always super cute and pretty.

I'm not sure if you can see it but there are little black flecks in the cream

I have to say that a little goes a long way, when I first got this product I was kind of like "oh its so small, I'm going to have to use a little at a time" but a little does go a long way, it just spreads out really well. Its that time of year where my skin is overly dry so this wouldn't be enough for me to moisturize my skin (moisturize and then put this on top) but I like this a lot! 

I'm not actually sure if it does all the things it claims it does (have to use it longer to find out) but I feel like the texture in my skin feels smoother when I put on foundation on top of this.

So Yes! Give this a try guys its definitely worth the price and it didn't break me out (unlike the saem one... lol)

Juju Cosmetics: Aloe Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer

Aiya.. I thought I would post more often but I guess not.. but I guess here is something to hold you over for a while :P lol

I stopped using Skinfood's Peach Sake line because I am running out of it and I kind of want to save it for days where I go out and wear makeup and want a non oily face. Otherwise when I go to school and stuff I don't really care about how I look that much since I'm only there for a few hours.

**********

My new day routine

Back in July I bought these products from Sasa

I'm finally getting around to using these products now since its cooler out and my skin is starting to get dry particularly on my nose and cheeks.

The Cleanser

Since its a gel cleanser it is clear. Its not a creamy foamy cleanser but it does foam up a little bit. Its unscented and surprisingly not as moisturizing as I would like it to be.

Clear gel

Moisture Aloe Toner (Smooth)

This clear toner is alright it does provide pretty good moisture for this time of year. It is unscented and absorbs quickly. All in all an alright cleanser.

Aloe Moisturizer

This is a pretty heavy moisturizer for me surprisingly. I feel like this weighs down my face for some reason, don't get me wrong this is a good moisturizer but for people with oily skin I don't think it benefits my skin that much. After maybe an hour or two my skin will feel oily >.< and for some reason when I get oily I look tanner... lol

Overall I don't think I would buy these products again but at least I gave them a shot. These are super affordable so why not give it a try?

September Updates

I finally got a new phone!!!

Well.. technically not lol, Steve got a new phone off craigslist (Samsung Galaxy S4) and he gave me his old Iphone 4S! I can actually use Instagram again!! I want the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3!! T_T but I'm poor.. super sad lol.

So sorry about the lack of updates, I wouldn't have thought that school would keep me this busy.. lol.  I  got a wind burn on my lips earlier this month >.< and they were all puffy and red and irritated! I was super pissed off about it! It was so flippin embarrassing to have it too because everyone stares at it. I went out to London Drugs the other day to pick up some Vaseline (Steve told me it helped when he had a windburn a long time ago) and I had a choice between a super monster tub for $5 and a super tiny one for $2... I ended up getting the $2 and I'm pretty sure people at school would be like wtf if I showed up with a big tub of Vaseline lol.

Lips nice and wind burned

thanks nature..

I'm really regretting taking that Mandarin class lol, I mean I like the class and all but its just at a super inconvenient time >.< class starts at 6:30pm ends at 8:30pm and then it takes me like an hour and 15 minutes to get home plus there's like a three hour gap between my two classes and I don't know what to do with myself half of the time. When I signed up I thought it would only be an hour class.. boy was I wrong! lol

Man! Steve's mom should never have taken this course, she makes me do all her stupid work! She'll write her shit down in really crappy english (she took university english classes like WTF! she can't even form a simple sentence!) to the point where I have to re-write the whole damn thing and its SUPER FRUSTRATING especially when I have my own school work to do and usually she asks me to do it the day before a fucking test and she gets SUPER bitchy when I don't do it for her.

I've been so exhausted lately, school is really draining my energy T_T I just wish I went to a school that was much closer but that aint happenin! lol

**********

I was craving ramen SO BAD! So we went to Kintaro Ramen on Denman street ^__^ it was soo goooood!! lol I was gonna order the cheese ramen but then I ended up getting the spicy one.

Why yes that is a massive ball of garlic on top lol

This was really good ramen but holy smokes did it make me gassy lol

Steve got this

I guess its more traditional? Not sure which one he got but it was good

 Massive bowls!

I love gyoza!

If you're visiting Vancouver you gotta check this place out! Warning though they have long lines sometimes.

I guess its a short update, I don't expect the next few months to be any more exciting that what I've posted lol mainly because of school. I'll probably post up things that I purchase and have tried.. lol

Periods

Oh yeah, I'm going there today.. lol

I didn't get my period till I was 13 which I think is fairly normal right..? I remember some of my friends in elementary school getting it at 9 years old.. yeah.. lol. The reason why I'm writing this is because I got this app on my iPhone that predicts when I'll get my period and its fairly accurate.

If there's a better app out there let me know!

For me the worst thing about getting your period isn't the actual blood, that is easy to handle. Its the pre-period symptoms lol. I gain like 10 freaking pounds through bloating and constipation haha and when I can't wear certain clothes for a week or I'll look super fat and I'll get some acne >.<

I looked at the app today because I thought to myself "Its been a while since I got my period I wonder when I get it" and then I looked at the app and was like NOOOO!!!!!!! LOL

I was talking to Steve about periods because of this app lol and I told him that I've never had cramps maybe like discomfort once in a while but never full on super painful cramps I know some girls can get and he told me his ex-girlfriend couldn't even go out because her cramps were so bad. 

Anyways I'm starting to get bloated not sure about the constipation yet... what are your period symptoms?
