24 hour nights

December 10, 2014 +

It's currently 12:19am and I'm trying to do homework but failing miserably. I keep procrastinating and dreaming about going to sleep but I know I can't sleep. I took a 3 hour nap around 5pm and now I'm just feeling like crap. So here I am writing this blog post while listening to Hot Nigga. What has my life become.

I really hate that I haven't posted on here since summer... I honestly don't even have any excuses. I just get lazy. So many things have been happening and I've been so busy with school and college apps plus drama production show that's coming up next week which I'm not excited for at all.

I'll write more maybe sometime on the weekend but for now, here is some music I've been feeling lately.

the great view

February 23, 2014 +

Two days ago I went to New Jersey, went to Mitsuwa, and just walked around the neighborhood. It's really nice there because there's so much open space and there's an ocean by Mitsuwa so you can see the beautiful ocean view. You can actually see the sky too!! Which is what I love about New Jersey or basically any suburbs because in the city there's buildings/skyscrapers everywhere.

Mitsuwa is such a great Japanese supermarket, they have so many things there, places to eat, and things to buy. I had a chicken cutlet that came with a salad, white rice, and miso soup and then a mentaiko onigiri. hen later on I had cream obanyaki, a curry croquette, and matcha bubble tea. The food there is so good, I wish there was one in Manhattan though.

And yesterday my Etude House BB Cream and toner arrived in the mail!!! I really love ordering Asian skincare products/makeup, especially Etude House. Their products and packaging are really cute but I can't say if the quality of their products are really good or not because I really don't own a lot from them but I hope to soon.

I got the BB Cream in Natural Beige and I actually tried it before I showered yesterday and the coverage is pretty good and I used a very small amount and it covered all my red spots and dark spots. I didn't try it on fully but from that little test, it was pretty nice. I didn't try the toner but I will tonight and maybe write a more detailed review later.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

February 3, 2014 +

Wow ok so much has happened in the past three days... I've finally been having a life haha. So I haven't had school all this week because of regents week and I only had one regent which was on Monday so I was free from school for the rest of the week. I didn't really do much until Friday. I mostly stayed home watching shows on my laptop and not being productive.

On Friday, I went to Chinatown and Koreatown with my friend Lucy. We went to Chinatown to see the firecrackers but I had to meet her on Canal St. so we missed the firecrackers but I managed to see a little of it on my way to meet her. Then we just walked around Chinatown and saw some of the lions dancing in front of the stores and a bit of the parade. It was pretty crowded in Chinatown but not as crowded as it was today. After Chinatown, we took the train to Koreatown and had Korean BBQ. It was soooo good and filling, we were so full, we even had a few pieces and most of those side dishes left over. I probably won't have kbbq for a while. After that, we went to Tous Les Jours and I got a matcha smoothie which is basically a green tea slushie and it was fucking $6. They have good pastries (their curry croquette is so good) but their drinks are so expensive. Lucy got an iced green tea and I think that cost her $3-4. It was literally just some plain cheap tasting green tea and there wasn't even any ice in there. Then we walked around some more and that was pretty much the end of that day.

don't get these

Yesterday, I went to Flushing with my friends Mennen and Alix (I feel like I always go to Flushing???) then slept over at Alix's house. We had Korean food (I swear I'm not a koreaboo omg), I had soondubu jigae, Mennen had jjajangmyeon and ddukboki and Alix didn't buy anything to eat. Then we walked around Flushing, we were there for so long and I don't even know why. Then we went to one of the malls and went into the food court and I got takoyaki and a matcha smoothie with herbal jelly (this matcha smoothie was a lot cheaper and tasted so much better + came with herbal jelly which taste amazinggggg) and I don't remember what Mennen got. After that, we went to Alix's house and we got there around 11pm, I honestly don't know why we were out for so long. We didn't even do much, we all went to sleep around 12:30 which is really early for me lol.

~Mennen and Alix~

Today, I went to Chinatown... again!!! Well today there were more things there because weekend and the Chinese New Year parade was happening. I went there with my parents and we actually missed most of the parade which was pretty sad but whatever. We saw a few lions dancing and a lot of people with the confetti popping things on Mott St. which was really nice because confetti is just nice alright.

was lit

look at dat

not royal

January 28, 2014 +

I never know how to start posts.... so yesterday (actually two days ago since it's already Tuesday right now) I went to Flushing, just to hangout, eat, and shop for a bit. I love going to Flushing because everything there is so cheap and you can find really authentic Asian food there oppose to Chinatown in Manhattan which is pretty much tailored for Americans/tourists. I got a really big bowl of pulled noodles with lamb and matcha green tea with herbal jelly for about $6-7 and then I bought more bubble tea a few hours later lol. I swear, I am addicted to bubble tea. Then I just walked around a bit and went into Nature Republic and bought a foam cleanser and some face masks. I haven't tried the face cleanser yet but I think I will tonight.

Also, today I took my English regents, I think they went alright. The multiple choice/reading part was pretty easy but the essays were making me go insane. We had to write one on the controlling idea based on insight and then another one where we had to choose a literary element/technique and write about how the author uses that to develop the story/passage. Then we had the critical lens which was to interpret a quote and I had such a difficult time interpreting it tbh. But I'm so happy I got that over with!! Now I have a week off PLUS Monday off!!!!!

reunited

January 25, 2014 +

Yesterday I hungout with two friends from my old high school. We went to Chinatown for a few hours, ate dinner and had bubble tea and mochi. It was really nice seeing them and catching up with them because I hadn't seen my Mennen (left) since Halloween and Natalie (right) since summer. It's always really nice catching up with old friends. Though it was really cold (and still is lol), I still had a really good time with them and I've missed them so much.

Also I finally finished all my finals and I have a week off from school this coming week because it's regents week!!! I only have to take my English regents on Monday and then I'm free... until next Monday :( Also I got my APUSH final grade back already and wow I failed so hard. I just want to give up in that class, 95% of the marking period grade is based off of tests and I'm a horrible test taker and the tests my APUSH teacher gives are really difficult. I don't see how I'll ever pass that class. I need this semester to be over already.

hearts all around my feet, don't u ever sweep the street?

So today was my APUSH final and wow I probably totally fucked it up and not in a good way... I'm still shaking and trying to recover from that test. Tbh I think I did awful but I guess we'll see. We had 50 minutes (one whole class period) to answer 60 multiple choice questions like WTF HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. I don't even know how I'll pass the AP test in May. I finished 40 questions and towards the end I just started guessing and bubbling in random answers so that probably didn't go well. I need finals week to be over and then I can relax for a bit because no school next week because of regents!!!

There was a snow storm today and it lasted for quite a while but it just stopped. It was snowing so hard and it was really pretty and accumulated so much but we still have school tomorrow.... ugh. Pretty sure most people won't even come tomorrow, what's the point.

the long night

January 20, 2014 +

I should really be studying right now but since I'm procrastinating, I might as well write something here. I feel like so much has been on my mind lately yet it's completely blank when I try to write here. I guess a lot has happened, probably too much to write here haha.

I recently got into The Carrie Diaries and I'm a bit obsessed... I always get really attached to high school dramas and the characters. It happens with every hs kdrama and then with Teen Wolf and now The Carrie Diaries. I haven't even watched last week's Teen Wolf episode because I've been watching The Carrie Diaries literally all this week. The thing that makes me sad in The Carrie Diaries is that every couple breaks up like after 3 episodes so I can't even ship them. All my fave couples have broken up, there's really no point anymore.

Also, my music taste has been a mess but these are a few things I've been into lately.
