Wishlist // In all things Nautical








☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Ever since Bugsy left for Boot in MI, besides missing him a lot; I've been really into looking for things nautical themed. Now don't judge me yet, just because my SO is in the Navy, it doesn't mean I automatically got into this bandwagon. I've always been into anything Nautical; from pirates to sailors, mermaids and the sea, you  name it! Above are my wishlist for the month of September to commemorate my Bugsy and his trip in Boot and A- school.

To my Military So out there, I am in need of a MILSO buddy, I know I'm only his girlfriend but I believe we share the same compassion, pain in waiting and happiness for each other. I would love it if you can adopt me into your little community. I'm not much of a person, but I'm talkative enough to be interesting. Leave me a comment and I'm for sure going to reply!

Anchoring away!

Photodiary // Sunset

I know.. I know.. it's been a long time ever since I posted...
What can I say, I usually get those "introvert" moments...

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Introverts aren't cool nor I'm not dissing the fact of being one. 

I love being an Introvert.

Being by yourself and just thinking and swimming in you own thoughts is such a majestic feeling for me. It enables me to know myself a little bit more every time I have my moments. Unfortunately, not a lot of people understand what it means to be an Introvert and an Extrovert, I would love to stay and explain myself but I guess that's for a different post for fun! Yay!

  It's really hard to explain oneself when you can't even explain it to YOURSELF.
I know I'm just rambling now like I always do but what ever... here's a bunch of pictures from where I will live... 

.SUNSET.

My favorite part of the day. There's something about this time of day that just feels so ... right.
The moment the Sun dives down as it swims through a rush of clouds gives of a nostalgic feeling of contentment.
I may have the same feeling like any other person out there and I'm glad. The Twilight (there I said it, fucking movie....ruining a perfect word..) *sigh*

Anyways, I don't want to make this segment a Ramble now, so here it is.. I know its very short but what the heck.. 






One last note, I absolutely enjoy how the mixture of lights formed with the subtle appearance  of the clouds with the hint of the sleeping sun makes the sight very .. magical that it makes me smile... makes me happy.

I hope it gives off that vibe to everyone as well...


And as I've said countless times.....


Thanks for tuning in~

L.S.S. // Macklemore, need I say more?

A new post I guess. I first heard this on the radio but I never thought Macklemore enraptured my eardrums once again with one of his masterpieces.
I'm pretty sure you all know this song already. I know, I know, I'm pretty backwards when it comes to the newest trends but what can I do, I like staying in my room.
Anyways, without further adieu.. Same Love 

 

This song, especially this music video not only give chills down my spine but it also invited a bunch of ninjas in my room. I cried like a baby. For some reason, Same-Sex rights always gets me, I'm not gay yet I feel so attached to the community as if I'm one. I don't hate it, I actually like it but I'm really weirded out by it, but no matter. I see everyone as equal...not unless you did something bad to me then I would retaliate as if I erased you in this worlds completely. Ahem... moving on, this music video just inspired me to tap into my creative side ha ha. 

I truly have a soft spot in my heart for Same - Sex Equality, I don't know if it's because my uncle is or the fact that my mom was surrounded by them but I just feel a strong connection for them as if I'm one of them, sadly, I'm not. I guess they're just lucky.

By the way, here are the lyrics to the song which you can find anywhere in Google.

Review // Shiseido: Bio-performance Super Corrective Serum

Bonjour~
Here I am again for another review, the last one of the ones I use on this "post"
I mentioned that I use 2 eye creams for my eyes due to the fact that I have grim panda eyes or for layman terms, the infamous "Dark Circles".
I'm thankful that God has blessed me with eyeglasses because rather than seeing it as a impairment, I see it as a convenience because it hides my known Panda Eyes.

Places // doMINIONnating Arclight

Hello everyone~
I guess this post is more about Word Cesspool than Places but whatever, I've never been to Arclight near my neighborhood. 
I've always been so cheap about my movies but this time it's different.
The ever famous Arclight cinemas sign.
 My best friend was feeling under the weather and like any other best friends out there, what do you do? You try EVERYTHING. \(^ ^)/

Roka!
 When we went inside, I was expecting a lot of people like what you see in other movie theaters such as AMC or Pacific Theaters, but I was wrong; the place only has a fair amount of people. Once inside, you'll see a full bar on the far left from the entrance and since Roka and I are both under 21, we just went straight to the line. Also on the left just after the bar part of the theater, you'll see this amazing wall of movies that illuminates the whole place.

From old to new movies!

I was dead wrong when I said it's not crowded, apparently this theater does most sales online, therefore, even though it was only 7:30 PM, we reserved the 9:45 PM one so we could get the good seats. We decided to watch... Yes, you guessed it "Despicable Me 2".
I believe if anyone's feeling down and blue, the minions will turn that upside-down for you! 

 (〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ
I have a thing with clocks. I think they're just so sophisticated.
The theater was pretty massive compared to the other ones and it only has 8 mins of trailers! Kinda saves you a whole lotta' time if you're not really into trailers (which I am, sadly) but yeah, afterwards we were instructed to turn off our phones so here's a snap of us before the movie.

Cheese!
: EXTRA :

On our way to dinner, I forced her to pose

Smile :D
If you don't do anything whenever your friend, especially your best friend is down, then shame on you really... Shame on you.

A Best friend is someone who will be there even though you're gross as a slug, I swear. They will accept everything about you. If they don't, trust that they will try to tell you XD.

Anyways, moving on.. I decided to treat her to the movies whilst she treats us for dinner. Roka is somewhat like a sister to me, a confidant I can trust on. My Ride or Die chick ( ^ _ - )

I think the best way to end this post, is to put most of my favorite quotes about best friends.
I hope you like them

Ramble Post // Three shots of Moisturizers please

I'm not one to put make-up nor take care of my face. It was only when I met my best friend, Roka, that insisted that if I don't wear make-up of if I'm too lazy at it; I should at least take care of my face. 
(don't worry, l'll introduce her officially pretty soon)

So after quite some time of convincing, she finally showed me the real importance of caring for one's face.
Honestly, I never thought I had a dry and sensitive face until she told me...
 She really is my savior because I didn't know that the whole reason why my face is all crackly and hurting whenever it's cold, hot or even just a normal day is because of my dry face. 
[[I know, it's Face 101 but I really didn't know]]

As of present, I still don't wear make-up on a daily basis though I try as hard as I can. It's just putting them and taking them off is such a rigorous activity. I do wear make-up on occasions or whenever Roka puts them on me. Now, don't get me wrong, I like make-up and putting it on my face, I really do. I'm just straight-up lazy. 
(  ̄┏_┓ ̄)

If it wasn't for Roka, I would still have a face as dry as a desert to tell you the truth, so the real reason behind this post is just to share with you all or to those who has the same type of face as mine, which is both dry and sensitive, three (3) everyday products that I use to maintain my face moisturized and happy.
NOTE: I am not an expert, I would suggest going to a dermatologist to figure out what type of products are safe for your face. 

=  // =

To begin with, after a fresh clean face, I start with the eye cream. I basically use 2 of them, one for the eyelid and one where the dark circles are.

First off is my "Dermalogica - Total eye Care with SPF 15"
I tend to put them on my eyelids because our eyelids are the windows to our eyes. They are the softest part in our face because it's only a piece of skin covering our eyes.
I will review this product later on.
In a nutshell: Amazingly effective. (*´・v・)


Second, I use  "Shiseido - Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum"

I got the trial size one from Shiseido awhile back. It's very reflective, I was really afraid you guys wont see the bottle.
I often refer to this as my 'chameleon' bottle cream.

I will review this product later on.
In a nutshell:  Wasn't really that impressed.

Lastly, 
moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. My face was in dire need of a moisturizer and I've tried countless products for my face but now I think I found the 'one'

This product is perfect for the Summer as it's not that sticky. Again as I said before, I will do a full review later on.


For my moisturizer, I use "Clinique - Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion "
Just a few pumps of this baby and I'm good to go.


Thanks for making it all the way to the end of this post, I truly appreciate it. So these are the products I use for my face daily.

I just realize this might be the easiest face care I know. This might not be perfect and there might be a better routine, I know, but this is what works for me and I plan to stick to it like peanut butter on the roof of your tongue.

But yeah, thank you once again and let me know what you think! I'm excited to hear from you guys ~

*cricket* *cricket*

Oh well, maybe next time.

Thanks for tuning in~

Food Trip // Mongolian BBQ

Ever since I moved to the East side of California, I never thought that I could ever find an affordable all-you-can eat place. Coming from the Central part of Los Angeles, you can find numerous amounts of places to eat. Luckily, on my third month here at Pasadena, I was taken by a friend to Mongolian BBQ (sadly, they don't have an official website, so yelp is the next best thing XP ) The only time I've ever had Mongolian BBQ is at a mall with Bugs. He is obsessed with the thing, so when I told him that I found a place not even 5-minutes away from where I live, he was ecstatic.

The place looks like any other rustic restaurant that can be found around my area


Once inside, you will be seated in one of the booths or chairs located at the place, if it's not that crowded (which has to be either way too early in the morning or way too late after dinner time), you can have the freedom to choose your seat.



The line then starts with the frozen meat section where you can find a lot of meat to choose from. You literally can choose what goes in your food, which is amazing~






Turn to the corner or just simply follow where the line is going, you'll see a section of vegetables ranging from carrots to pineapples, even to bamboo shoots.

Don't forget the noodles!


Last but never the least, put some sauce on your wonderful creation. Yum~



Take your bowl to the window located at the far end of the line,  a chef will then separate your noodles from the others
 
Twirl it!




VOILA!~
You're done!!!


Bon Appetit~


Seems like Bugs' enjoying himself X))

He actually went back to get more 3x!!
Remember this place is all-you-can-eat!



Would I go back?
  • Most definitely YES, c'mon $10 for something that gives you the liberty to actually know what you want in your food especially the ability for you to see how they cook it? I mean yeah, it is frozen meat but for the price, it really is a gem of a place!

Overall, I'm not much of a food critic but I absolutely love going to new places where I can try something new. Remember this place is an all-you-can eat, therefore, they will serve a lot of extras to make you full right away; so take it easy and enjoy the view while you're at it! :) 

Such an eccentric car, I swear >.<

 Thank you for tuning in!
Have a safe and have 4th of July everyone!

Rant Post # 1 // Finally

Hello wonderful people of the Mother Urf....

I would like to let you guys know that  I FINALLY got the chance to set up my desktop. Therefore, I can now regularly blog! Which is good news for me because blogging might not be the most private diary in the world but it is something I consider therapy.

I actually have no idea where to start my rant for today. I just literally spent about three (3) hours just customizing my new tower.. well more like pre-loved. Bugsy (you will meet him later on) just gave me his tower, which I find really sweet.

Now, it is June 17, 2013 and from where I'm sitting with John Meyer blasting from my Spotify, my whole room filled with cherry blossom scent and my fire alarm chirping its annoying chirp hinting me to replace its batteries, I can truly say I am at peace.

This post is nothing but touching base with my life from my previous post which was at least (2) months ago.Its already been 2 months?! Man, time flies by so very fast. I never even mentioned to you all that Bugsy is leaving for his basic and boot for the US Navy. But this is for another story.

For now, I'm just glad I have access to my addiction once again.

And I'm most definitely sure that I will be posting a lot more now.


But for now, my little random blurting ends here.

See you lovelies!

CP Chronicles // coupons

Hello there, its been a long while since I have posted anything.... I'm just quite anxious to get my tower so I can post properly as well as use the computer. This is the worst withdrawal I've ever had. The computer has been my little piece of sanctuary where I can share my thoughts, hence, this blog. It's also where I can observe, learn and practice what its like outside. Sure, there's more to life when you're outside but being me... The introverted, awkward, fun-sized me... I'd rather stay here in front of my monitor and watch.

Okay fine I'm rambling, today I did go outside. I received mail where I can get discount, I wish I was popular enough to actually give you guys, my awesome readers, something so you could feel appreciated but I think its something I will bump into the future... I hope.

This post will have another part where it consists of a review as well as un-boxing. This is the 1st part.
First I got a coupon from Best Buy via email where I get $20 off my receipt and that I did ... I did get $20 off my purchases. I got myself a tripod for MoMo and a pair of cheap earphones. I don't really mind the brand as long as it has a built-in microphone, I tend to lose them like bobby pins anyways so its alright. Next is the star of my day which is my new tripod! Which hopefully by next post I will review. 
Then, I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond where I got a 20% off so I got myself a vacuum, again reviews on next post. Its by Black & Decker and some coasters as well as sheet straps, so I always sleep with my beds made... Wouldn't anyone love to have that!? I know I do, haha...

But yeah, that is it for updates... Tune in next time for the reviews...

Till then you all,
Stay classy!

Ramble post // in the middle of the night

Hello guys.
I'm sorry it's been a long time since I posted anything and yes, I'm still alive and still with no sense of humor.
I just had the craziest dream today. Maybe I'm working too much, maybe I'm just not getting enough rest or maybe my head is just crazy like that.
So let me tell you about my dream. I did in fact fell asleep with the lights on and yes, my cellphone was on my face, so yup, my mistake...but anyways, onwards to the story.
Started off in the middle...like all dreams. 
{Fact: Dreams always starts in the middle.}
 Source: Can you ever remember how a dream started?
Anyways, I happen to witness my boss, I work for 3 brothers and this guy's the middle child, so we'll just call him, Mid. {no creativity there but that's that}
So I witnessed "Mid" getting entrapped by this young lady who seems like her babysitter and is very in love with him, who happens to look like Daniella Monet...
{The one on the right. They made her the "fat older sister" but i believe that she's hotter than most girls in the show}

So then, "Mid" finally agrees to marry this crazy chick right and then she realizes {insert tv drama realization effects and sounds} that he is living in this crummy, Jewish apartment {no offense to my Jewish readers, of course} and the dream broke off because I woke up.

BUT WAIT!, There's more!!!
And this time I'm in the dream, not just the spectator...
I woke up and realized that I left my lights open but since I'm still pretty drowsy, my lazy ass decided to doze off once more...
Again, it started in the middle and this time my cubicle turns into a cubicle of instead a chair, I have a large futon and next to me was two of my bosses, "Mid" and "Last". {Ignore my naming skills its 6 in the morning here} 
It seems like we were having a good time from where my dream started because they were laughing and telling jokes of how Mid's wife sound like "a non-existent" Ety Marriato. {She does not exist people, i checked} 
So then I told them I don't know who she is. ... and as "Last" was telling me how "Mid's" wife cannot be invited to parties because she sounds like she has diarrhea all the time, "Mid" then shows us a VHS and inserts it in the tv that suddenly popped up infront of us... {Just then did I realize that I was in fact, another dream} and some lady was singing very slowly with excessive vibrato and they were just rolling off their backs, laughing...

 The end.
I woke up and finally turned the lights on and wrote this post.
Crazy, right?
 Fine....

 TL;DR: I had a crazy dream about my bosses at work, one that looks like Daniella Monet and another one that consists of them laughing at one of their wife.

March Photodiaries x CP Chronicles

{WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY}
These are all the photos I've collected way before I started this blog. 
I'll try my best to blog as much as I can so that it wouldn't end up as a photodump blog haha.
These are photos taken on my phone. I was too worried to bring MoMo {sslr} with me 'cause of the fact that he might get stolen or something. But with thorough thinking I've decided that in the end, it's best if I bring MoMo to my adventures as well.
So rambling aside and without further a do, I hope you enjoy these pictures!

See you guys on April and thank you for visiting my blog ! °ω°
