things from amazon

i've recently started online shopping at amazon.com. and boy did i fall in loveeeeee. here's a few things that i've purchased this past week.

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask, 16.9-Ounce Jar

when i got my hair done last week, my stylist desarae used this hair mask on me and it smells fabulous. it's been a week and i can still smell it in my hair. i think i'm suppose to use it every few weeks and leave it in my hair for about 5 mins then rinse it off. it should help maintain my hair to stay healthy. hopefully anna can use it for her hair also. i just hope it's the exact same one they had at the salon. when i googled it, this is the only one that popped up. so i'm almost 100% sure it's the one.



Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D80 & D90 Digital SLR Cameras

this is the one thing i am probably most excited for. it's basically a self timer you can hold in your hand and not having to jump back and forth from where your camera is placed to wear you want to pose. haha i know it's so lame. but don't judge me. i'm going to have so much fun with this thing. haha one thing i also really need to buy is a heavy duty tripod. i have one, but it's kind of dinky and i don't trust putting my dad's $1200 camera on a $10 tripod. haha something about that just doesn't set my mind at ease.


Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (female) Cable for Apple Mac

i went over to my cousins house a few days ago i saw that he had this attached from his macbook to his tv. it works so that he could watch what was on his mac on his tv. i thought it was pretty awesome so i ordered one also. i tried using it the other day, but john and i couldn't get it to work so i was pretty bummed out. i'll have to ask jeff when he comes back how this thing works cause i think i'm doing something wrong. haha

what an amazing day

so today started off kinda crappy but it turned out really well. i woke up kinda annoyed, but when john called me things seemed to get better. i was really in the mood for boiling crab when i woke up so i texted john and he said he was cool with it. esp since he was selling tickets to someone in alhambra so it really worked out, well minus the fact the boiling crab there was CLOSED! so we sat in the car and debated if we really wanted to drive allll the way to garden grove just for some bomb asssss shrimp and corn. he knew if i didn't get it, i'd be cranky all day. so we decided to go. needless to say, john is freakin' amazing. on our way there we decide to get myself a quick snack just to hold me over for the long drive ahead. i end up getting mcdonalds fries, but on our way there i spotted a mexican corn cart, so of course i had to stop for some of that. then we went on our way to mc d's then boiling crab. when we get there it's pretty packed, but we figured since we're only a party of 2, the wait shouldn't be that long. the girl tells me the wait's about an hour and 15. we didn't have a choice but to wait since we did drive all the way over there already. we walk around the plaza for a bit, go into rite aid. i bought some cards and a bubble bliss for my feet. we walk back to boiling crab and we play pusoy dos to kill time. the actual wait was only abt 45 mins which really wasn't so bad, considering how packed it was. when we're about to order, john tells me he's not going to eat. i was like oh my lawd are you foreal?! i felt so badddd. he hadn't ate a single thing all day except for a danky ass granola bar. he truly is amazing. he sacrificed eating all day just so i could have boiling crab. it makes my heart melt. after boiling crab we go home and i call up danae. she's chillin' with her cousins so we decide to head over to her place and hang out there for a bit. when we get there we basically decide to go eat since they're all hungry, and john was especially hungry since my poor baby hasn't eaten yet. so we decide to go to bossa nova cause it's open late, the food is bomb, and we weren't in the mood to try a new place. so we get there, order, get our food. it was bomb as usual. but for fun, kc decides to start singing happy birthday to me out of nowhere. so the waiters start to think it's really my bday. so they head back to their kitchen, fix me up a flan cake, w/ a pink candle btw and come out and sing happy bday to me. it was really sweet of them. even though it wasn't really my bday. lo captured it all on his iphone and posted it on facebook. i'd post it but i have the dumbest look on my face. if you wanna see it, find it on fb. lol

the end.

it's officially thanksgiving

so let me share with you some of the things i'm thankful for;

my family
cause no matter what they're always there for me. i don't know what kind of person i would have turned out to be without them. my parents have always been an amazing example since day one. you know that saying that parents always use as an excuse "don't do as i do but do as i say" they've never been those type of parents, which i am so grateful for. i'm also grateful for anna cause she's always there to cover my ass and do all the chores i don't wanna do. she doesn't get enough credit for being an amazing sister :).

my boyfriend
best thing that's happened to me yet. i love him so much. he's so selfless and patient with me. i know sometimes i push him over the edge, but he always knows how to come back from it and make the situation better. he really is helping me to become better person, and it's really starting to show. he's always there for me when i need him and he's always so caring. i just couldn't picture my life with out him.

my friends
i seriously have THE best friends in the world. they're an amazing support system. shayna is always there for me when i need her and i can always count on her for good advice. and i have josh to always feed me when i'm hungry and over at his place. i can't count on him for snacks and such.

my job
i have the best job in the world. i have absolutely no complaints about this job. it's my favorite one so far, and i've had a few. my boss is awesome, my coworkers are awesome, and i love my drivers. they're hilarious. and plus they think i'm cute so that doesn't hurt either. haha.

----i have many other things i'm thankful for, but these are the some of the ones that stood out.

so over the weekend

we went to this place called kuma sushi for happy hour. and oh my gawdddd. their baked mussels is so bomb. their sushi was whatever but everything else was really yummy. basically all the cooked stuff was good. i started off with the red curry clam chowder then i had like 3 plates of the baked mussels, salmon skin hand roll and a dynamite hand roll. i think that's it. oh and dessert, i had the flour less chocolate cake. it was yummy too.





i really didn't

want to be that couple that posts pictures of them kissing, but i really couldn't help it. haha

things i need to buy

1. a new camera:
my point and shoot just isn't doing it for me anymore. i need to move up onto something better like this for example
Canon EOS Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Bag and Extra Lens2. a new iPod:
i dropped mine by accident and it broke. i tried restoring it several times but nothing, it's kapoot. i also need to get the 160GB one cause 30GB is not enough space. not even close.
Apple® - iPod classic® 160GB* MP3 Player - Black
3. a new macbook or iMac:
mine's kinda old. and it's slowing down. i need to upgrade to something better. and i'm really leaning towards the iMac just cause i'm spoiled. i wannntttt ittt.
Apple® - iMac® 3.06GHz with 27" Display

so i was really

thinking about starting a food blog cause so many people have mentioned it. it seems like the only logical thing left to do. instead of posting all my pictures of food on facebook, i could specifically dedicate a blog to it. but first i want a better camera. i'm really not creative at all. so it'd just be a plain picture, but at least the quality of the picture would be terrific. i need a name for this blog. the first that came to mind was www.sarsmelindaeats.com haha if you come up with something better pls let me know. mmk thanks


Song Phat: R2

this says it all


"Head Over Feet"

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

so my

week vaca from work is officially over, i have work tomorrow at 2:30 :(

i guess it'll be nice going back into the office. not gonna lie, i kinda miss my drivers haha. and of course andy and michelle. in this week though i got so much done. i'm kinda proud of myself.

i kinda wanna start baking again esp since the holiday season is coming up. i need to find my cupcake carrier. both of them lol

i know you're sick of reading

how effing amazing my boyfriend is, but let me tell you. you know that quote by marilyn monroe "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." he sure as hell deserves me and more. he's perfect. i know no one is perfect, but i do have the perfect boyfriend. it's just me that's damaged. i really wish i could always appreciate him. but sometimes it's hard for me because i'm so fucked up. i love how when i'm upset he'll do whatever he can to cheer me up. i really do take him for granted. i need to take anger management or something, if that's what it takes for me to change. ok i feel so lame. i'm done.

Thursday, November 19, 2009

i got so much shit done

this past week cause i'm on vaca from work and since my only class is online, i don't have to worry about attending a "real class". so i'm kinda excited for the new semester cause i'll finally be going back to csun and meeting new people. i seriously just wanna get out of school already. i hate it. i wish some one would just knock on my door and hand me a tree that grew money. my only worry would be to keep this magical money tree from withering. ugh. working and going to school blows. how can you enjoy life when you're tied down to a desk and office. it's bullshit. i need to make something out of myself if i want to enjoy everything life has to offer. i want to travel so bad. but blogging about it won't do anything for me. i really need to start working harder.

oh btw. here are my new glasses. they kinda make me look smart.


ughh i can't say it enough

MY BOY FRIEND IS SO MOTHER EFFING AMAZING. i am seriously so blessed to have him in my life. he puts up with all my shit and still manages to love me unconditionally. even though it's only been a month or so. i feel so terrible cause i feel like i tricked him into dating me. haha i was such an awesome sweet friend to him. he probably had no idea what he was getting himself into. poor guy. haha baby i'm sorry. don't worry, i promise i'll try to be a better girl friend. i love you

i'm a litte vain.

so what. i think everyone is, i'm just more open about it. i'm just really comfortable posing in front of a camera and smiling. or doing whatever expression i feel like. it's how i was raised. i know i keep using the fact that my mom was a photographer as an excuse. but so what. i like looking at cute photos of myself because i honestly feel like i look better in pictures anyway. it's most definitely not the same thing i see in the mirror every morning. i know it may be hard to believe, but sometimes i hate the way i look. i'll just stare at the mirror and think of several things i can change on my face so i can feel more comfortable about myself. i don't even know why i'm writing about this. i just feel like whenever i post a new picture or something, i'm being judged for it. fuck it. i don't care.


HAHAHA I CHANGED MY MIND. I'M REALLY VAIN. and i've got nice hair. i feel much better.
