My first stepping stones.
To say that I didn’t think there’d be obstacles would be a lie. But I didn’t think it would be in the form of family.
Today I had a surprise visit from one of my aunties. She’s always made it a point that I was ‘the fat one’. I know it shouldn’t get to me but it always did leave a sting. This time it kneed me in the gut. Apparently, she thinks I should...

Plans.
Making a budget, thinking of what supplies I need and stuff like that.
I’m making my own makeshift photo studio for makeup and filming stuff.
I also think I need to invest in some program for designing and photo shopping things.
I’m thinking of this as an investment.
Oh goodness, I need my check ASAP.

Attraction.
Laying in bed thinking about attraction and what I yearn for in an ideal partners personality and the only thing that’s prevalent is banter.
I like arguing and having someone rile me up to the point that I want to smack them. I find that so attractive.
I’m just staring into the darkness of my room and thinking about how much I enjoy getting at it verbally, and especially when someone...

So, I’m pretty sure that majority of the time I’m doing something completely idiotic and getting injured.
Most times I’m running around which results in me:
a) tripping and spraining something
b) sliding and scraping/bruising something
c) completely eating it and twisting/bruising/scraping/spraining something
d) all of the above [and gashing something]
Oh to be me, and...

Life is looking pretty good right now.
I have my health, my family, and my priorities.
Firstly, I am currently taking care of my grandma, and my/our check has increased by $20. I should be getting my check from charmed on Saturday. I just got my new business cards and set up an online portfolio for my freelance makeup. I’ve decided to diet again, and this time I’m pretty sure I will stick to it. [My goal is 20 lbs by...

NorCal Trip. [Picture heavy]
Yepp. My friends and I took a road trip up to Berkeley. It was pretty bomb. We started out around 2/3 am.
Took a rest stop at some cute diner place.
Went up to Sacramento to see the fair [and the dinosaur exhibit]
Caught a concert.
The next day we took the BART to Pier 39
I got a thrill out of the awkward things we found.
Later that evening we went to see Christie’s...

Makeup Haul [Summer Edition]
It’s getting hotter. A lot hotter. I refuse to put any type of power on my face on days like these. Lucky me, I was very ill prepared for the weather. So that meant was time for a shopping trip.
What I got:
Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in ‘Tipsy’
It’s a bright coral colour. [Great for summer and really brings out a nice tan.] Since it’s a tint, I can control how...

A reflection about weight.
My word, what a difference 2 years can make.
Excuse this old tirade of “I can’t believe how much weight I’ve lost!”.
But for real. It’s still hard for me to really see myself. I still have what they call ‘fat brain’.
It’s crazy to think that 2 years ago, I was yo-yoing between 190lbs-208lbs. [yes, I’m not exaggerating, I found one of my...

Don't read this entry unless you don't mind...
And so I fall again. Into this rut. This stupid stupid cycle that happens when I see this guy.
I’m not complaining, it’s just so predictable. I don’t like being predictable. I miss the old me.
Spontaneous to a fault.
Now it’s all resposnibility and maturity.
When did I start following my head and not my heart?
But then, since I’ve been more hesitant, I...

When I capture it on film, will it mean that it's...
Cameras. The bane to my existence. I[d] love to capture every moment on film, but that would mean living most of the great moments [I’d wish to capture] behind the lens.
I try to carry my camera with me wherever I go, but doing so means I have to baby it and stuff. It makes me feel so awkward. Especially if some great moment occurs and then I have to be all, “WAIT! HOLD...

The job of a counter girl.
I spend my time watching cartoons and chatting with people and kids. I also sell cupcakes and brainstorm ideas for cake designs.
I also doodle a lot.
I walk home most every day through this ally way. I don’t find it that scary, unlike my coworkers. I think it’s pretty.
That’s pretty much it. :]
