That's not exactly something you want to start your day with.
I don't even know where to begin. I've talked about this countless times and have always said the same type of thing, over and over. It's basically work. Since we have a new boss coming in about a month, our current boss wants to put in motion a lot of things before he leaves (although he won't be leaving for another year, at least). One of those things is giving me more responsibility. Ya~~~~y -_____________- I hate that word. I also hate being told what to do. If I'm told to do something, I automatically want to to the opposite. I just seem to have a problem with authority. I think part of it comes from my dad...
Anyways, more responsibility includes going to MAGIC in February. I've never been to MAGIC in February because I always have school. Now he really wants me to go (for experience or whatever) but I don't plan on missing school. I have no idea what my classes will be like next semester, but I already have trouble with school (mostly my willpower and motivation to stay) so I don't want to mess with that. Also, I'm taking sign language so it's kind of hard if you miss a day, let alone a week.
This is not the kind of thing I want to deal with in the morning. This isn't the kind of thing I want to deal with at all! I'll deal with it when the time comes. Don't bring it up 5 months before, let it linger and then bring it up every so often. It just makes me hate it more and more.
And my mom bringing it up again this morning? Not helping. I already feel so unsure in my life, I don't need to be reminded first thing when I get to work. I wanted to cry. I can't cry at work. If I don't let it out, it kinda stays there all day until I completely forget about it or get to finally cry.
Okay, that's it...bye.

unnecessary shopping
...for makeup!
So there's something out there right now that I kind of want. Key word: want. Not need or "have to have". Just want. If something has the words "disney" or "disney collaboration" or "limited edition", it's going to get my attention. If something has all three? Well, you can bet that I'm going to be looking into it! And that's exactly what this following piece of pretty has...

And that's exactly what this following piece of pretty has...
Disney Cinderella Collection by Sephora
Storylook Eyeshadow Palette
Um, yes please! Cinderella wasn't even my favorite movie or princess and I really want this! Mostly because it is Disney AND limited edition. It's also $55. But I have a gift card for $50. See where I'm going with this? I think a gift card is meant for things you don't need or would particularly buy yourself because it's too expensive. It's free money for goodness sake! Also, there's 20 eyeshadows so it'd be about $2.75 each (granted the eyeshadows amount is really small).
The only thing holding me back is...do I really want it? I mean, yeah, it's pretty and again, limited edition. But maybe I can buy something I'd actually use more. I bought an Alice in Wonderland palette that Urban Decay did a couple years ago and lately, I rarely use it. I've been leaning towards more neutral colors, which kind of makes me sad. I like having fun with colors but I also don't have time in the morning to work on a nice eye look. Anyways, maybe I don't have to buy it.
This collection also came out with a 4 piece lipstick set ($25), an eyeshadow quad ($30), a 6 piece mini nailpolish set ($24.50), a really pretty compact mirror ($20), and a perfume($19-$58). And here's my "why I don't need them" list...
I can do without the lipsticks since I don't wear them enough.
Though the colors are nice, I didn't really care enough for all of them to pay that much.
The nail polishes are mostly glitters and I think I have enough nail polish at the moment.
I can't bring myself to pay that much for a mirror I will hardly use.
I don't want to buy the perfume without actually smelling it first.
So I guess the only thing I might get use out of this collection would be the perfume IF I like it.
Hm, I guess writing things out like this helps me decide if I should get something or not. So...for now, I'll hold back and pass. I do have enough eyeshadows that I don't use often enough. I should get through some of those first.
Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥

Hawaii~
My Hawaiian weekend was great! I went to Hawai'i for the first time Sept 7th-10th.
It was super short and we didn't actually do much, but it was relaxing and very nice. We stayed in Ko Olina with our boss and his wife in their timeshare at the Marriott Beach Club Resort. It is so nice! There is a lagoon RIGHT there for the hotel guests and it's within walking distance of the Disney Aulani Resort! Which me and my mom went to the first morning. We slipped past the keycard gate to the pool area and walked around. Then we wandered a bit in the lobby and gift shop and it's official, I am staying there one day.
Before we went, I kept saying I didn't want to just lay out on the beach and do nothing. I wanted to go out. But as soon as we got there, everything was so nice and chill that I didn't want to do anything. Our boss likes to go snorkeling and looking at the fishies and he had a couple extra masks and a snorkel (heh, that's a funny word) so I borrowed them. Since I can't swim, I borrowed an inner tube from his wife (who can't swim either) and we went out to the lagoon. As soon as I got used to sticking my face in the water and being able to breathe at the same time, it was amazing. It was like a whole new world!!! And as cheesy as that sounds, I decided right then and there that I will learn how to swim and go snorkeling for real in the future. It was incredible! I saw angel fish and a cute little puffer fish!
We got some shaved ice afterwards and while we were just sitting on the chairs, it POURED out of nowhere! Big, huge raindrops. Not that wimpy sprinkle we get in LA when it "rains". Everyone ran indoors from the beach and pool area. It wasn't cold either, so after I realized I was already wet and wearing a bathing suit, I gave my towel to my mom and just walked in the rain. It was so nice.
In the evening I watched the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I actually saw the sun sink into the ocean. The horizon is so clear there. No marine layer, no fog, and no Catalina Island to get in the way. The sky and ocean have a distinct separation and the sun just gets smaller and smaller. For dinner we ate at a restaurant in the hotel.
The next day was beach again. This time we tried the right side of the lagoon to look for sea turtles. But my boss said there weren't as many fish so we went back to the left side. More fishies, but no sea turtles. I really wanted to see one. We were going out later so I went back to the room to start getting ready.
We went to Waikiki beach (just to look) and walked around there for a little bit. Then we went to the Ala Moana shopping center. Oh my gosh, there were SO many expensive stores! I've never seen all those stores in one place before. It was a rich tourist's dream! Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Dior...I could go on. But at the same time, it was all the same as LA. I saw they had Gilly Hicks and after hearing about it through a friend, I wanted to stop in. There's only one in the LA area and that's at the Americana, which is a bit far and I can't even remember the last time I went (if ever...). Gilly Hicks isn't something spectacular. It's like the intimates store of Hollister. Even though I don't shop at Hollister/Abercrombie, I can definitely shop at Gilly Hicks. So many cute undies and bras, sweaters and PJs. I found a cute cardigan and pajama set so my mom got those for me.
Dinner was at a Japanese katsu restaurant. It was pretty good. After getting lost one more time, because seriously, the whole day as long as we were in the car, we did not get to our destination right away. Our boss and his wife are not the best navigators or communicators.
The third and final day, we went to a different lagoon (four lagoons over) called Paradise Cove...so I guess that makes it a cove? I actually don't know the difference or what they techinically are. But this one was a lot smaller and public. The water was a lot shallower and apparently there were a lot more fish. I didn't feel like getting my face and hair wet that day since we were going home later. Me and my mom just relaxed on the beach while the other two went snorkeling. Then, a sea turtle made its way onto the beach!!! They made an announcement saying we can look and take pictures but to stay 2 meters away, and they set up little orange cones. I finally saw my sea turtle! I didn't see one swimming or swim with one (which I think I heard there were some swimming in the water), but I saw a live, wild sea turtle! My goal was met and I was happy. ^__________^
We went back to our hotel after a couple hours, but not before stopping at an ABC Market to do some last minute gift shopping. Back at the hotel, we went to a jacuzzi first and warmed up a little bit before laying out in the shade. Everyone else fell asleep but I kept myself awake with my phone. We went to the beach one last time just for a little bit before me and my mom had to start packing.
The hotel does welcome parties every Monday since most people move in/out during the weekend and stay the week. We were able to watch a little bit of it before having to leave to the airport. Our boss was nice enough to drive us to the airport. There we had some Starbucks and waited to board the plane. It was an 8pm flight with an arrival time of around 5:30am Tuesday. I tried to sleep, I really did. But I could just not get comfortable. I think I got maybe a total of 2 hours of bad sleep. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually more and just didn't feel like it. Worst part was, when we got home, we had to get ready for work already. I was DEAD. I was sooo sleepy and I had class later! There was no way I was going to survive. All through work I felt pretty useless. I got some stuff done but I can't be certain on the quality of it. Before school, I got a Frappe from McDonald's and surprisingly, I was not falling asleep at all in class!
But that's my brief recap of my Hawaiian weekend. I am definitely going back one day and staying at Aulani. Okay, that was long...bye! ♥
