100 Questions... (Punishment...err...apology?)

I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile... Today I did a bulk amount of posts. I feel like this might happen a lot in the future, with school and work and such...

So, I decided that every time I miss a post day and post double, triple, quadruple the next post day, I will do a survey as well. The amount of questions will vary depending on how many days I miss.. I'm sure the questions will repeat as well, since I am using at Tumblr page that is dedicated to collecting surveys for my questions.

Stumbling Along Our Merry Way

So, a few weeks ago, my friend, Raffi, and I went to Los Angeles. I frequently go to L.A. with my mom to buy stuff for my parents work and also because it's probably the best place to find good Korean food and go grocery shopping. Though LA is nothing like Korea, I can find stalls that sell street food, music stores, fashion boutiques, little things here and there.

Anyway, I decided to show him the places I like to go. I didn't take pictures of everywhere we went because quite frankly I forgot to. But here are some pictures from the trip. ^_^


Our first stop was Little Tokyo, then Koreatown, then a Korean spa in Diamond Bar. I only took pictures of Little Tokyo.

Bakery. I got an Anpan (steamed bun with red bean paste inside) and he got a cream horn.



Then we found some shops with swords... So of course we had to play. (By we, I mean he.)




Annnd I found trinkets:




Then the Japanese American National Museum 




























It was tons of fun. ^_^ I really would like to go out and explore more like this. 

Anyway, sorry there aren't any pictures of other places... I kinda failed once we had lunch... >_<
I'm going to San Diego soon, hopefully I'll be better about taking pictures. (Probably not... u_u)

And one more post for you, Lovelies.

Chub-chub-chub-chub-chub. Color chub.

I immensely enjoy the fact that this product is called "Chubby Stick".


Brand: Clinique
Product: Chubby Stick (Intense)
Color: Voluptuous Violet & Broadest Berry
Place of Purchase: Macy's
Price: Free (gift with purchase/visit) 
Normally: $17
Rating: 

At work I often use Chubby Sticks if I'm working at Clinique. I think they're really nice to get that tint of color or a great way to get color without resorting to lipstick.

What I liked:

I really like how smooth they are. It always feels like they are also conditioning my lips as well as giving me the color I need/want for the day. The color lasts a long time and because there is the regular and the intense I can choose if I want a tinted balm or an actual lip color. The names are really fun too! 


What I didn't like:

The biggest issue I have with Chubby Sticks is their scent. I know that sounds weird because Clinique's products are fragrance free, but even without a fragrance, there is a scent that is a bit like wax and it is sometimes off putting. I also wish they had softer pinks in the intense line.



I love these and they come in a variety of colors. They are fun and easy to use, they stay really well and condition your lips in the process! I always grab a Chubby Stick if I don't have time to do liner and a lipstick or I can't be bothered to do lipstick and gloss. ^__^

More posts in the next few hours, lovelies.


好きっていいなよ (Say I love You)

Anime/Manga: 好きっていいなよ (Say I love you)
Rating: 






I thought about whether or not to post about this one, mostly because I wanted to post about something other than an anime (such as a manga, video game, or k/jdrama) but I decided that I might as well.

This is one of my favorite mangas/animes. I just really love the story. This is partly because I can relate to its main character, Tachibana Mei, and I think it really shows the lives of high schoolers in general. It is a romance/comedy but it's super good and I recommend everyone watch it. >___> EVE-RY-ONE. 

Synopsis: 

Tachibana Mei is a girl without friends and she prefers it that way. Because of an experience in elementary school, she believes that people will just betray your trust and shouldn't be given a chance. This changes once her world collides with the most popular guy in her school, Kurosawa Yamato. She kicks him, mistaking him for someone who was messing with her skirt and he's hooked on her instantly. This and that happens and they end up in love. Mei discovers the values of friendship through Yamato and his friends and also what it means to be a person who doesn't shy away from others. She learns how to love and how to express herself when before she never had to. Yamato learns to face his demons and how to be who he really is, despite the consequences. 




Since explaining the characters won't really convince you to watch the anime, I'll just introduce you to them. ^_^

Tachibana Mei:

Kurosawa Yamato:


Oikawa Asami:

Nakanishi Kenji:

Mutou Aiko:


Takemura Kai:



And these adorable guys...

Kuro & Marshmallow:



If you're looking for something that will hit you right in the feels, this is definitely a good one... Trust me...
So... in a bit lovelies, I will have another post for you...hopefully.
>_< I'm sorry I fail, lovelies.
