Ridonkulous

I am currently watching this sheer ridiculousness known as I'm Still Here. As many of you may know, it is Joaquin Phoenix's mockumentary? or documentary on his life. Let's just say I may be a bit worried that Netflix would recommend me something this raunchy to me. They also recommended me Hoarder's and South Park, what does this say about me you guys?

 I finally got my Christmas breakfast two days after Christmas. Very indulgent, very greasy, very buttery and to top it all off I had a croutin toast (it was left in the toaster for too long). I feel greasy and I need to drink lots of tea to break up the oil and grease inside me. I wish I still had Alli pills so I can just poop the oil out. TMI. I know.

 Maximus always lays low. He likes to snuggle under the blanket and act like a secret agent. He makes me laugh.

I felt like getting out of the house plus I needed an oil change so I went to Michael's. A little girl with no plans and a huge craft store? Dangerous. I was browsing in the store for an hour and I felt kind of out of place. There were just a bunch of spinsters and older white women buying a bunch of fake flowers and scrapebook items. I found a few treasures of my own.

 I thought for 5 minutes whether or not it was a good idea/investment to bedazzle my iPhone. The idea was soon forgotten as I realized it is no longer the 90's.

Then I saw these little baggies and I immediately came to the realization that Michael's supplies drug dealers with the little baggies. This is where Joaquin Phoenix's drug dealer got his little baggies to fill his cocaine with. I wonder if they keep tracks on people who buy these....

I am now going to glue feathers on ribbons and see if I can do something crafty.

Love you!

5 Obsessions

 1. Natalie Portman, ballet, chic buns, dangly earrings basically anything in the movie, Black Swan and anything Natalie Portman touched or breathed on.

I've always had a desire to be a ballerina when I was a young girl and would always walk on my tippy toes and always wanted to wear the tutus I saw at Nordstrom. 22 years later, I always wear high buns, lust after that BCBG ballet dress and make sure I have a million pairs of ballet flats.

 2. Over the knee boots.

Something I thought I could never get away with until I wore a pair myself. I shall buy a pair when they are on sale.

 3. Skeleton keys.

Can get a whole bunch on ebay for super cheap. It goes with everything you wear. I want to rock these like Miranda Priestly does with white Hermes scarves!

 4. Bangs. Erin Lucas. Enough said.

5. Notebooks.

I make sure all say my name, have blank pages for me to go wild and make sure it's always near me so I can write every thought down.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to wake up this morning ready to watch The Christmas Story, Elf and the Christmas breakfast my sister and I thoughtfully prepared to make this morning but instead I woke up to my mom bitching at me for the leftovers I brought home from work last night. My sister just stood there while I was getting scolded and didn't even stand up for me because she had actually taken the food out and eaten it.

Here's my shitty Christmas situation:

-I haven't spoken to my dad since his birthday dinner (Dec. 13) after he had bitched at me for sleeping on the couch because I was sick. Then compared my lazy ass to my sister (which is not even true).

-Situation with Richard isn't the best. Everything I had thought he meant didn't mean the way I thought it meant.

-Worked till closing on Christmas Eve and due to working early the day after Christmas.

-My feet are killing me and I seriously don't want to be with family right now. I can just hear them saying crap about me and I am in no mood for it.

Sigh, let's please get this year over with and hope that 2011 will be a turnaround year for me.

These are old pictures but I ate out with my cousin and sister to a Japanese restaurant on Sloat called Toyo Sushi.

 We first got green tea that was piping hot which was good because it was freezing in the restaurant!!

 Then I had some seaweed salad and a regular green salad that came with my entree.

 New York Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll was shared among the three girls.

And of course I got udon because it's my favorite and again San Francisco is freezing right now.

Anyways, I need to get ready to go to my aunt's house for the family Christmas feast or whatever.

Merry Christmas!

Organized Chaos

Also known as my life. I woke up late this morning (10:30) and for some reason I felt like texting my friend Jena, whom I haven't seen in months and she immediately called me. She was frantic and panicky and she was feeling like poo because she lost her license and also got in a little fender bender this weekend. Little did she remember, I actually had a spare of hers in my wallet! Coincidence you say? She also said she dreamt of me last night (obviously in a nonsexual way) and wanted to call me. We talked, drove, drank some coffee and smoked some cigarettes and it felt nice. She always made me feel good and she was there for me this summer and today I was there for her. We had a short time today but we both said goodbye in the cold morning and said I love yous. I guess true friends will always be friends no matter how long you haven't seen them.

 After being out in the cold with Jena, I came home and made myself a nice brunch because I was actually looking forward to it on my day off. I made a two egg omelette with broccoli, green bell pepper, tomatoes and parmesan cheese. I also made roasted yukon potatoes which I generously dipped in ketchup. Although this was on my kiddy Hello Kitty children's cafeteria plate, it was a lot of food.

Then I put together a To-Do list and I actually got 90% of it done! Such as cleaning my room (number one on my list for a long time).

This is where the organized chaos comes to play.

 This was all the makeup randomly found in different areas of my room. I perfectly aligned all of my makeup on my drafting table and realized I had way too much. This is the makeup not included in my bag or makeup stored in another bag.

 Same picture but with flash.

 Some of my unworn shoes perfectly aligned on the floor. Those would have to be 3 Steve Madden shoes that I got on sale! Half off baby! My silver Tory Burch flats (gold flats already worn and in the garage), TopShop ballet flats that I got for $30 and American Eagle flats that I got for $15! I hoard shoes like I hoard makeup.

 Then I smashed a couple of my shoe boxed to make room under my bed and realized I have a ton of dustbags that are too precious to use. I decided to use the Marc Jacobs dustbag as a makeup bag which was inspired by Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Well she didn't use Marc Jacobs dustbag but she did have a black pouch where she kept her makeup.

I also got my coffee table organized. As you see I have a ton of coffeetable books like Vogue, Manolo Blahnik, a book on Audrey Hepburn, France fashion books, cookbooks and The Little Prince. In the middle you got my sunglasses collection. My Burbery, Dior, Gucci, Tory Burch and Chanel (on the Vogue book because I can't find my case!) next to my candles with pebbles I found at the beach.

I now feel like my mind is less cluttered since my room is more organized.

I can now put on a face mask and relax the night away.

Goodnight.

More Oomph

I have yet to discover what type of blog mine is. I know I'm into food, fitness, fashion and makeup but can all four really be combined into one blog?

I also know that my blog lacks depth. I'll read Sophia's blog and just be in awe. Why can't I have wonderful life changing experiments/stories that I can write confidently about. I always have this in mind and when I start writing in my blog, I get writer's block or I'm too tired to write anything that I was thinking about all day and then I have choppy posts. But, for now I will just write about my eats.

Like this, I had this on Saturday. I sauteed some asparagus in some olive oil, salt and pepper, chili flakes, garlic, soy sauce and water. I had this along with my sister's stroganoff. It was pretty good but I wouldn't have used spaghetti noodles. I gave all the meat in there to my little poopies.

Then I had another huge craving for Chipotle. We also got chips and salsa! Boo for Chipotle for not giving me two different salsas.

This time I had a burrito with the works. I got carne asada, black beans, rice, pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa, corn salsa, veggies, sour cream, cheese, guacamole and lettuce. I was amazed that the woman folding my burrito was able to fold it all together.

It was huge! Look at the comparison between my dog and my burrito! It was huge and I ate it all!

Anyways, it is my only day off besides Christmas so I need to be productive!

Muah!

Date Night

Richard and I have been setting aside a day where we can rekindle our love and have date night! I miss just hanging out with him and being with him. It reminds me of the good ole days when we were both in high school and we didn't have such big adult problems. Anyways, we went and watched Black Swan.

I was expecting a beautiful film about girls in ballet and the pressures of it. Little did I know, it was a psychological thriller! It was one of the most disturbing movies I have seen in a long time. For those that smoke, please dont' smoke before watching this movie!

Before the movie we ate at California Pizza Kitchen.

We shared the field of greens salad. It had mixed greens, sliced pears, candied walnuts dressed in balsamic vinaigrette. It was really delish. I don't usually like fruit in my salad (I think it's really weird) but this all went so well together.

We also had pizza with the "works." It was alright. Nothing special but Richard did enjoy it. Anyways, I need to get back to getting ready to go to work. It is the week of Christmas after all =(. It will be like throwing a piece of meat to the raging hyenas.

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas

Now it's a countdown to Christmas. Although we got rid of the Christmas music at Bloomingdale's due to Mike Gould (CEO of Bloomingdale's) is rumored to have hated it when he came to visit and another rumor that because he is Jewish! That last rumor is hilarious by the way. Everything is being frosted in icing. The air just has that jingle to it. People are getting way into the Christmas spirit as well! Lots of people being nice (mostly guys, all the women have been bitches) and we're getting gifts of snacks and sweets. I am getting very excited for Christmas this year!

I've also got one of the coolest things I've bought all year round. Actually one of the collest things in my whole life. It is Essie's Matte about you. It's this awesome clear liquid that you paint over any of your nail polishes and it makes it matte.

 Had to try it on my black satin nailpolish. This is the shiny before pic.

 Delicious right? I love it. Excuse the Burberry handbag, it's not mine it's my mama's.

 It's been so cold lately that I've been wanting hot things like soup. I've also been drinking copius amount of tea and coffee.

 Tell me why I decided to get this croissantwich at Bristol's to eat with my soup? That soup filled me up that I only had a few bites here and there and ended up giving all the meat to my dogs later that day.

 Then I went to Costco! I love Costco! My sister, my two cousins and I decided to eat before we went shopping so I had a hot dog with lots of ketchup and onions. Yummy. My cousin still claims to this day that she eats way more onions than all of us but she's never seen me eat onions!

 I also had to take a picture of this creepy girl that one of the people in Visual drew. He's such a great artist and does comic books but this is from the Hamilton House charities we're helping and it's just a horrible picture of a girl. She is C R E E P Y.

I don't usually venture out to the mall but I've been wanting to get some cute notebooks and art supplies and I knew there was a Japanese stationary store under the dome. Look how pretty it is! They also had Santa there but didn't want to take a picture in case parents thought I was some creeper.

Well I am going to go on a Trader Joe's run! Another fave next to Costco!
