WordPress hates me.
I'm not new to HTML, I've coded a website before. I've coded LiveJournal and Xanga before. But its other blogging sites I just started using (this year) like Blogger and WordPress that I'm having trouble with. Of course, since its still all so new to me. But I feel like I'm too old to get back into doing this stuff. Does that make sense? How do you get too old to web design?!
I guess it's just because when I got SUPER into it, it was around the time of Asian Avenue and Apt107 (which I'm pissed they took down cause it took me FOREVER to code my page), when flash was still new and when AOL allowed HTML in their member profiles. Now its all about CSS, XHTML (wtf is XHTML?!), widgets, and all other sorts of unheard of things! I've been ON the internet the last five years, but I havent been ON web designing. Kinda odd, if you think about it. But then again I was sucked in by MySpace and FaceBook for all those years.
SOCiAL NETWORKS ARE EViL! I'm starting to really hate them. It takes me two hours to read though all of my FaceBook and Twitter updates. Two hours. Out of my life. To read about other peoples lives. Worth it? No, not really. There are two types of people that annoy me on the whole status thing: the ones that update every single second going to the bathroom. taking a shower. at a stop light. dog crossed the street. lady crossed the street. at Target. and then theres the ones that flood your feeds with what club they're going to/promoting/doing their "photography" at/hosting/ect. I'm seriously considering suspending my FaceBook account. Besides, its a social networking site without the networking. No one really gives a shit about what you're promoting. No one really cares about what you're doing on a social networking site. In my personal opinion, I think people care more about what you're doing when it comes to blogging than a social networking site because when you sub to a blog, its what you expect where as on a social networking site... you're really just adding friends/people you know. I would say "to keep in touch" but people hardly do that either. Friendster was cool when it first came out, people actually kept in touch, but now... people kinda just dont.
I got my "best of" Sephora thing today. I got the eyes set because I wanted the Stila Smudge Pot but I didnt wanna spend the money for a full sized version of it lol. I also got a mini Too Faced Shadow Insurance with it. I have the full size, but I dont think I want it. I'm stuck between using UDPP and ELF Studio and Mineral primers. I really kinda dont have any interest in the TFSI. But we'll see.
I have a makeup remover review I'm suppose to be doing, but I've been home all week due to not having car, meaning I have no reason to dress up, meaning I havent made a video. Well I made one yesterday about getting my DSK jewelry but just to test out my dad's webcam, which is pretty freakin good. I'm jealous, my laptop doesnt have a webcam. That's what I get for being too excited to get one though. Blaaah.
I want my car back now, I missed free Pinkberry tonight since my car's still in the shop. Boooo =(.

Another lazy day...
Love came over today.
We had Pizza Hut pasta for lunch and watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. He kept pointing out that that's me. Which I unfortunately, cant disagree with LOL. It was a cute and semi inspiring movie. After that we watched Fever Pitch and Cradle to the Grave and some Rocky movie.
Caught the news on Twitter about Michael Jackson. A friend of mine sent a test forward about his death, in a mocking way. I dont understand why people are being bitches about his death. MICHAEL JACKSON JUST DIED, show some respect! I personally am shocked at this news, I have a few favorite MJ songs. One of my lifetime favorite songs is "Butterflies", I LOVE that song! I play it all the time still.
I dont think I should even bother mentioning how much of a jerk Perez Hilton is right now, yeah. I wont. But I will mention that hes a disgrace to the gay community. Gay guys like him are the reason why people hate gays.
I've been really bad at remembering things lately, its been really irritating. Like I'll open a new browser window and totally forget why. Frustrating! Also, when I log into blogger on Mozilla, it doesnt log me in so when I leave comments on some peoples blogs, I cant cause I'm "not logged in" but it works fine on IE, and it worked fine on my dad's laptop. Maybe I just need to update my Mozilla. Even though I hate updating (and installing) things.
Ugh, I'm hungry again.
I need to quit being so damn lazy. Blah!

Changed the layout.
I also changed the layout to the beauty blog. I was tired of the default-ness of it all. I dont usually like using pre-made templates but I've been so out of touch with graphic design and coding that this will have to do until I get off my lazy ass and make something! I mean, I have the layout idea's in mind and I have everything I need to make the layouts... its just... making them then coding them that I have a problem with, right now lol. But I'll get to it eventually!
I tried adding AdSense to the beauty blog yesterday and it just wasnt working with me! I dont know what I was doing wrong... argh. Whatevs!
Dont you guys hate when people dont talk to you for five years then suddenly pop out of the blue and ask you to come over to see their business presentation for a pyramid scheme they just joined? Yeah, me too lol. Seriously, its so annoying because he has even replied to any of my messages, comments or even returned any of my phone calls for five years and now he expects me to go to some business meeting at his house? Uh, I dont think so! And so when I tell him that I'm car-less because I just got into an accident he replies with "I can pick you up if you'd like". Wow, thanks for asking me if I'm okay. Totally know where your head's at. I'm so tired of people using their friends for their "business". And please, if I say no twice, what in your right mind makes you think the third time you ask I'll say yes? Seriously? Get a clueeeeee!
Martin's been studying for his ASVAB all week. Hes going to be taking an extra week to study, which I dont mind. I'd rather he get the score he's aiming for on the first try then have to retake it and wait another 30 days. If he does end up in the field he wants to be in, his Tech School will be in Mississippi and I'm a little bummed out about it. All the other schools are in TX and CA, but his just had to be in Mississippi! Of course. Why did I assume it wouldnt be. Ugh. He wanted me to move there for a few months, but it would be a waste since people are telling me that he wont get much time to leave the base in the first place. So I think I'll just visit once or twice a month. Flying by myself is such a scary thought though. Plus its a 3 hour flight, landing is probably the most hardest thing for me to do, my ears literally feel like they're bleeding if I dont put my ear plugs on right. Even an hour flight can be painful. How much more for a three hour flight?! I should probably get my ears checked some time soon, and flush them again as well... they're getting saucy LOL.
Martin was talking about how he might get me a my MacBook Pro for Christmas and how he's gonna get me a gift every six months. But out of that all I heard was: MacBook. Christmas. He thought it was funny that I was more excited about that than getting a gift every six months. Eye on the prize! Haha!
A few things I want to do this summer before he leaves:
- Monteray Aquarium
- Santa Cruz
- Pixar

Friday Five!!
Regular milk? I dont like it. I was lactose intolerant when I was a baby. So that probably might be why. If I had to drink milk, it would be chocolate milk (and I hate chocolate so this isnt going too well lol). But I like milk flavored candy. Like you know, how Japanese candies have milk flavored? Yeah, I like those lol.
2. What are your feelings about cheese?
OMG I LOVELOVELOVE CHEESE! No seriously, I have to have cheese with everything. Almost everything, but I always get everything with extra cheese. My friends called me a rat growing up. Whatever. I loves my cheese!
3. What are your feelings about yogurt?
Its okay. Depends on what flavor it is, some of them are kinda chalky. I miss Danon Sprinklins! You know the kid one with the sprinkles on the cap? Those were my favv! Sometimes Go-Gurt. I just hate how it gets warm too fast.
4. How do you feel about soy milk?
Its okay, I havent had it a lot (according to my parents its the only milk I could drink when I was a baby though). I think I tried the vanilla one once a few years ago, it tasted like a melted milkshake.
5. How far are you from the nearest cow?
I dont know, we have a big field about a mile (or 3) that sometimes has cows. But there arent many cows in my town. Oh wait! My elemetry school had a farm! That's about a mile away from here lol!
I'm starting to look forward to these, does that make me lame? LOL.

Summer, and why I hate it.
Well, I was running out of disinfectant and so I had to run out to the garage to get another one, it was around 12:45-ish AM? And I walked through a web. I didnt have the light on, so it kinda freaked me out but I figured oh well, whatever, I'm gonna shower soon anyway. So I spent a little bit of time with my dog and I was on my way back up the stairs when....
I saw something next to the bottom of the stair. And I figured oh a spider. But it was kinda... big. So I turned on the light. IT WAS A WOLF SPIDER. I inched a little closer, to get a better look and I totally FREAKED OUT. I called my dad to come kill it and so I was holding the flashlight on it while he tried to grab it with a tissue but it squeezed its way out and JUMPED ON HIS HAND. I started screaming and my dad (being Filipino) just smacked his lips and started chasing after it with the tissue. O-M-G. Freaking... OMG. Worst experience ever! HOW DID IT GET INTO MY HOUSE. That thing was HUGE and GROSS. But my dad got it and flushed it. Whew, thank goodness.
So I go take a shower and I'm walking out back to my room and I see another spider on the ceiling of the hallway headed towards my room, so of course... I woke my dad up and he smashed it.
Okay, I'm fine with seeing one spider a night. Whatever. But THREE SPIDERS IN A ROW WITHIN AN HOUR?! I dont know. That's called a bad night in my book!
And of course, when I wake up this morning. There's a spider on my wall.
Why good morning to you too spidey *sprays Raid* byebye.
I hate summer. Hate is a complete understatement for how I feel about summer. Seriously. This is insane.
And of course, when I see spiders/bugs I get into this crazy mode where I just want to clean my room/the whole house. UGH.
Besides that, I also hate summer because I dont deal well with hot days. And its hard for me to sleep then I wake up all sweaty. Gross.

Updateeeeeee.
I know, I know. I suck at updating. I've been busy running around everywhere lately and getting all sorts of things worked out.
Last week the boyfriend & I got into a car accident, it wasnt anything major. It's gonna take 9 days to fix my car though. But we're both fine. Of course, as you know, all the hassle that comes with a car accident and just how irritating it all is. So we've been busy with that.
Also getting paper work for my boyfriend done, all over the Bay Area.
We went to Oakland to get some papers and he took me to all of the places he grew up. And it was... nice. To finally have an image to attach to the stories he told me. He brought me to his old school where his childhood best friend Chris tried to teach him how to back flips and I know he was reminiscing, it was kind of heartbreaking. He found out his friend passed away a few months ago, so yeah. He also brought me to a library he use to go to all the time (and we saw this 8 year old log on to his MySpace seriously?!), he took me to this center that had a basketball court and he took me to the sidewalk where he sat when he snapped his arm in half. It was nice, and itwasnt as bad as I thought it would be. He also took me to his old (haunted) house.
I personally hate doing paper work. I hate running around getting paper work, things signed, I just hate doing anything like this. And he pulled me close and was like "I know you hate doing this kind of stuff but Icouldnt do this without you, you're my happiness". And that, is what makes all this irritation worth it.
After that we had lunch in Emeryville since there's no malls or anything in Oakland. And had a nice little talk. It's nice that we're each other's best friend's and that we talk about things that best friends usually talk about. We've been together for five years but we can still talk and joke around for hours. We stopped by Lush for literally a minute. Then we headed to his little sisters graduation!! I cant believe she's already graduating high school! When I met her, she was 13! Insane.
A bunch more of paper work and paying bills last week... I also finally got my MAC Violet pigment! I'm in love with that pigment! I seriously need to cool it on the spending, then again I say that... all the time and never do it. *sigh*.
Yesterday was relaxing. We went to Concord because we found out there's a Quickly's there! We're in Concord all the time but never knew there was a Quickly's! Now we dont have to drive to South SF! After that, we went to the mall really quick, since they were gonna close in an hour and a half anyway. Then headed back home and we cleaned out the car since my dad's gonna take it to the shop soon.
Martin stayed over for awhile and had me eat dinner with him and we watched tv. Then we watched My Best Friend's Wedding since I keep hearing about it but I've never seen it. It was a pretty... good movie. I mean, it had good points lol. After that, spent some time with my cat & dog. My mom thinks my cat's sick, but they dont take them to the hospital and so I was playing with my cat and she hissed at me!! What the heck! Meanie. My dog is my baby, I love him to bits!
Martin came out to get me and we watched more tv, cause he wanted to watch tv with me and I was like "aww did you put it on The Food Network for me??" and he was like "yeaaa I was waiting for you! But you took too long!" awwww. And we ate some more before he left.
I loves him!
Dont you hate when people tell you dumbass information about things you dont care about but when you respond they give you the dumbest response? Its like, why did you even bother telling me YOUR stupid info in the first place? Like I care? Wtf. UGH, whatever.
Oh! I made an order on NYX cause they have these new palettes out that are on their pre-sale sale for $4.50 and when they put them on the site, they'll be going for $9 so I bought a few. And I had told Martin and he goes...
"Baby.... are you buying things?!"
Right when I hit "submit" LMFAO, how does he ALWAYS know!!! What is going on!!!! Kinda creepy and kinda funny LOL.
Also MAC is having their sale tomorrow! I've already made a list so I'm not panicking through out the time I make my order =D. I'm excited.
I know, I know, I need to stop shopping!
I've got some new idea's and some changes going on with my youtube channel and my beauty blog. So I'm a bit excited about that!
