So I was all excited all last night and then some more this morning xDDD
fcwr or 非诚勿扰 or 'the chinese dating show' is opening applications for a special US episode! I got hooked on the show, as I said before, ever since I went to China earlier this year, more accurately me and WonRon got freaking hooked! It is very hilarious and I'm a big fan of it so I totally want to apply! And of course if they want you on the show they'll fly you all the way to China! Nanjiing!!
Soooo yeah..... that is all..... I still have so much energy that I'm bouncing off the walls right now xDDD I really hope I can get selected! It'll be so amazing!! And then I'll get my own 5 minutes of fame.....rofl
soooo..... Grace and Debra should totally apply too (tho Grace is not single?)

what's new
So as I mentioned before.... I have two new facial products!
La Roche Posay's Effaclear H, and quoting the salesgirl it's a 'shaving cream' consistency. lol..... and it feels pretty cool all over my face!
The second one is Vichy's toner for acne prone skin (that is supposed to reduce pores but i don't know how effective it is). It is also supposedly alcohol free but the ingredients lists denatured alcohol and I have no idea what that is.....
Both come from lines for acne/ combination skin, La Roche Posay is supposed to be formulated by dermatologists. I was originally gonna get both things from one line but the store was out of the toner for the first brand and I really wanted to try the foamy face wash. And the second one..... well I mostly did not like it because of the green-ness lol. There are many other products in this line and many people recommended it to me including the salesgirl, my cousin and my family friend.
So far I've used it for 2 days and a large pimple already dried up. (should I be worried that it's working too fast? lol) I asked my brother to try the toner too so if there's anything results I will report back
In other news I've been having fun playing this anybeats
It is like a computer DDR game. But you can upload any music you want and they will generate the arrows according to the rhythm. (of course since it is processed on the spot, it works best for songs with strong beats and singing right on the beats) I really want to buy a DDR mat now and connect it to my laptop..... it'll be great exercise! My mom actually suggested I get DDR before but I said no because I get tired of the songs too easily..... well with this, I can have an infinite amount of new songs and my favs!!

Just enjoying my last few days at home XD
So im just amazed at how much 'little kids' know these days! There was a 11 yo girl who pretty much listens to the same songs I do. Like she had Taylor swift, lady gaga and Katy perry CDs. And then my 9 almost 10 yo cousin talking about drugs and testing out of high school.... Actually all that is fine but I remember hearing a5 yo talking about this too at the foodcourt. So pop music is the great equalizer huh? But I still feel kind of strange that my interests are the same as these kids XD
Also has anyone heard of angry birds?? My brother is so into all these random trends and I can't keep up at all... And he probably thinks I'm old lol
And finally... I finally got some skin care products from Canada! I'm not sure how well it'll work but Canada seems to like French brands :P. And I'm not too sure mixing two brands will be good..... But I'm still excited to try..... ESP the foamy cleanser!

Fresh start!
I didn't realize I hadn't posted in 6 months!! Wow!!!
Anyways.... so this weekend I had a great reunion with many wonderful friends :)
And the glee concert was amazing! Well of course there were bits and pieces that detracted away from the experience but overall it definitely met and exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to go to more concerts..... but hopefully aimed at 'adults' next time rofl
And lastly..... I think one of the most exciting parts of this trip.... was my train home today. There were quite a lot of interesting characters on the train lol. First of all, the lady I sat next to, was like 70+ and surprisingly we had a lot to chat about. From our common fear of flight.... and analyzing why they don't have parachutes for us all, to how California is not a safe place to live and I should move asap because of the imminent earthquake. And then we studied the safety instructions for the train and where the emergency exits are located and how to open them. ROFL So my inner age is 70+..... I think once ppl get older they worry about more and more until it finally weighs them down. And lucky me that I'm like this since the start lol
The second interesting lady was dressed impeccably and very slender and tall. Like she stepped out of a French aristocratic catalogue complete with floppy hat and everything. And then she offered me some graham crackers (to go with my rice she says). And as I declined, she offered my 70 yo friend some too. And as we both refused she said she will feed the crackers to some sparrows for me then. And the 70 yo mentioned she had sparrows on her evergreens or something.... and the lady asked "do you know why evergreens are ever green?" And went on some long story about how a mother bird and baby bird needed to make a nest but kept getting kicked off of trees. And they kept asking and the trees kept saying no until they met the evergreen that said yes and kept all its leaves green year round for the birds to nest.
And then I realized I finally have no more imagination......lol. But yes she was very interesting and kept talking about God and the bible to everyone around us and saying things like "where do you hide your wings? Because you are my angel" etc. hmmmmm.... And I didn't realize how many ppl are actually Christian here because you would never be able to tell with many of these 'American' values. But I should not judge and leave the judging to God :)

ponders~
Happy Holidays everyone!
I've been having fun at home.
Going to random family parties and church gathering.
I must say that most kids here are very outstanding O_o
From the hs senior my brother idolizes that is going to yale. To the random 1st/2nd years at various top schools. And the seniors at college. To grad school/ med school students. (like today 3 of the 'kids' are from harvard O_o.....whyyy where are the MIT-ers T_T)
It's all very interesting, seeing what these kids think at various stages. And totally re-living those times of my life seeing them. Hmmmmm
I hope nobody takes my advice too seriously as I have no idea what I'm convincing them of either......orz. I guess the important thing is that they make a decision they're comfortable with? (lol@ the hs senior who is concerned about Yale's reputation as #1 gay ivy league, in which I assured him that Stanford has a lot too and it's still fine O_O)
Also it's very very interesting seeing different personalities and perhaps different americanization levels. Also it seems like us 'old' ppl are getting boring, not wanting to watch movies, or play card games, or video games, or whatever. Just karaoke xP OK, back to trying not to get scolded by my mom
Ciao~

skin makeup
Ever since I realized that *some* ppl are SUPER picky about skin..... (actually my cousin has been for a while) I started paying more attention.
I always thought skin was one of the things that's *less is more* and that most of those random products don't really do much.
But maybe I was wrong cuz my skin condition's not getting any better. I remember back in hs I went to some makeup counter with a friend. That counter had those magnifying cameras and we tried it to see what the "pros" said about our skin. My friend had very even skin tone, a bit dark, but apparently they said her skin wasn't good cuz she had large pores and i think skin elasticity not good?? Somehow they said my skin was good.....which is surprising cuz even back then I had more breakouts and some left over scars. I guess my skin other than the scar/ acne areas is ok?? lol
But yeah...... I guess now I still had the same issue. And for some reason the breakouts are even worse especially along my cheeks (probably due to stress as Steph said). And the redness from scars never seem to heal. Is there something that I should be doing? Maybe go see a dermatologist? (I did see some TCM doctor once.....that was a disaster..... the 'medicine' he gave reallly improved my skin but i'm scared to drink more cuz i have no clue what's in it..... other than it's "chinese herbal medicine")
I went to Sephora to ask about primer and stuff and they showed me some brand and was like "This is a japanese brand"..... like they expected me to go ...... "omg Japanese brand..... that is the pinnacle of all asian countries i have to get it"......or something O_o. Well in the end i did get it cuz it seemed nice. lol..... ok i ended up talking about nothing in this entry again. Maybe I should consult my cousin some more since she had red blotchiness on her cheeks before (rosacea?) and now has milky skin. Though I still think it's the skin naturally growing that way? i dunnooooo..... Oh and just recently I found out the difference between a mask and a pack

asian makeup and models
Before I forget, my roommate showed me this video: wow
skip to 2:10 without makeup
3:40 to see the girl's eye after makeup get magnified like 5X (and i'm not even exaggerating....)
8:30 for finished 'products'
And then..... I have a new favourite model.....that I think is soooo damn gorgeous
I just really like the way how her bone structure looks, from near to far and every angle, it's pretty much perfect in the way it directs light. And I was all.....this has GOT to be the one model that chinese ppl think is beautiful..... but apparently they don't think this girl is pretty......orz..... I don't get what "conventional pretty" is at all to asian peeps (in asia).
I started googling her because of the above pic..... doesn't she fit the look so well??
She's very pretty with makeup as well
See what I mean about 'pretty bone structure'?? Even her profile is so beautiful. I love her nose and eyes and forehead and cheeks....and pretty much her entire face xP I'm so picky about noses...... was almost 'dying' from the ugly Japanese noses. (cuz they like BIG noses.... no matter the shape, how wide, or if it's too big for the face or not....orz)
And then I was excited to find out she was the same model I pointed out to Yuan as 'what i consider pretty' when we were shopping in H&M. (on left) ahhhh it was love at first sight xP
