Yatta!

How excited am I???

My title "yatta" means "I did it!"

Just what?

Well, not long after my last post (a few days really), I felt like things around me all started crashing down at once. So not to be outdone by life, I contributed by boldly quitting my job without a backup in mind/set up. No means to pay my bills or rent...nada. And you know what? I think that was the happiest two weeks of my life. You see, i was pretty much stuck in a job I had no desire to move up in....in fact I've turned down higher positions twice without any regret. In my heart it wasn't where I wanted to be and staying continuously made me feel like I was in a rut. So...one day I quit.

So of course I searched and searched for a new job...after one week of being home I decided that I needed to be a productive member of society. Besides, I'm so childish sometimes. I don't like when everyone is busy but I'm not.

Luckily for me, not even 2 weeks into my unemployment, I stumbled across another job! A better one....one that not only offers me more but the kind of place I think I'll be happy to grow at. I'm so very excited.

What's meant to be, will be.

I took a leap of faith and it worked out!

I guess when it's time for a change and you feel that way, you should really just go for it! Though it doesn't hurt to have a plan before you do it lol. But I certainly feel like if I had to take the risk again, I would!

Moshi Moshi.

Back to no internet! But you know what, it really isn't that bad once you get used to it. It is annoying to have to go elsewhere when you need it though.

Since moving in, a lot more has been going on than I originally expected would be.So here is a short story of my life in pictures with some commentary.

First up, I've been in the city almost every day this week, which is up from about one day or so a week previously. Sad thing is, I never have an objective so I just wander around. The good part is that all that wandering is good exercise. I bet my poor car misses me.

I've snapped pictures of myself on the ferry:

 I've enjoyed sushi numerous times. When the mood strikes, go for it! I've also mad note of some places I would like to try over the next few weeks in the city. New Ramen spot included.. (I swear I'm not cheating on you Ippudo!)

 I've finally gotten the chance to wear my Bambi Apple Green lens. This picture makes me look like I'm on my creeper status and I love that. I am a closet creeper.

 Drinks with friends in the city. Apparently I'm thought of as too serious and not the type of person you can just have fun with, but I'm glad that perception has changed, which means I get more invites to do things now. I'm always happy! If you want me to look the part though you have to catch me at the right time lol

 And finally a neighbor threatened to tow my car for parking in front of his house. I nicely let him know via picture of the parking sign that I can in fact park there and if he doesn't want anyone parking there then put his car there instead. He likes to park in the guest spots instead of his private, five star parking spot >_>. Well..he got the message and I still get a chuckle from the letter =]

 

Other than that...I've been busy trying to find a second job. Trying to upgrade my Freelance status at MAC to something permanent...Not really working though. Been exploring other avenues too though. 

I'll probably be absent for a little bit again. Sometimes my phone doesn't let me leave comments, but I have been reading everyone's blogs. I apologize that I can't add in for conversation.

Hope everyone is doing well and I appreciate the new followers I've gotten and the ones who continue to come!

Finally Finished!

Forced smile from Me, Mommy~, and her BF.

How I really felt because of the rain...

Eh. Blogger won't let me space things right so I'll post at the end I guess.

This part weekend was my college graduation. Saturday's event was inside, personal, and pleasant. However, the pictures above are from Sunday's ceremony and it was the worst! It was outside and the rain did not let up for a moment. We were all went and it rained so much the ground couldn't absorb the water so we were in puddles. The ceremony was supposed to be shortened, but it didn't seem like it was. Many people got up and left in the middle. I wanted to, but I stuck it out.

I'm glad everything is all over, but I won't be remembering that particular ceremony in a positive light. It was an absolute mess. I hate wet socks, feet, and shoes.

Well....time to figure out what's next I guess.

I randomly decided to switch back to my original home in the NYC area (had been in DE for 6 months since I didn't have to go to Albany for school this semester). So now I'm just figuring out what I want to do, trying to get a permanent space, etc etc etc. So we'll see what happens you know?

Happy Weekend!

Start of midterms and belly dancing classes this week! <-Good reason to be excited and then not so excited.

The picture above is pretty much what I spent my weekend doing, relaxing around the area and enjoying the weather. Hope everyone was able to do the same.

How about I post some kind of makeup look tomorrow? I think I feel up to the challenge...

About Me~

I noticed that when I post, I don't really say anything of interest or too much about myself besides "Going to work now! Later~" So since I don't plan on putting on noteworthy makeup until Thursday night or Friday, I thought I'd make a random about me post! Prepare to be bored lol.

Well I'm 21, I just recently changed my major from Japanese Studies to East Asian Studies so I can graduate earlier, blah blah. I'm banging my head against walls because even though I made the change, I still decided to take ridiculously hard classes like Classical Chinese and a 400lvl Japanese class. Bad idea. But whatever..it builds character....I think.

Most days I look like this:

Something Like this when my hair needs a trim:

 

Or like this depending on whether you catch me off guard at a good time or bad time:

good

bad.

For hobbies...I like to vegetate when I'm not in class or work. I like makeup (duh), but I also like to take pictures of things.

 

Really mostly food though....but all of those pictures are on my phone. I pretty much text my contact list pictures every time I eat lol. Its my way of sharing.

I think I bored myself because I don't want to do this anymore. But the most important thing to know about me...I guess would be that I absolutely love anything grapefruit. Or maybe that shouldn't be the most important...but its so true!

Okay..I'm done now.

Moved In..

Finally finished moving into my dorm and buying everything that I should need! I'm happy because I managed to move in by myself this year, but now I still need to unpack everything and I don't feel like doing it. I might want to soon though because my first class is tomorrow.

Anyhow.. There is a CCO on my way up to school so I felt the need to stop in and look around since it was on the way. Only meant to stop in and look around but of course I bought a few things.

Brash & Bold and Heritage Rouge pigments,  Warm Chill and One-Off eyeshadows, and Bobbi Brown Mink eyeshadow.

I'm thinking its a good thing I start work again on Wednesday. I'm also thinking that I shouldn't be buying anything else for quite a while.

Not that I really want anything besides NARS Strawberry Fields at the moment. I think I need to go have a look around my collection and just play in there.
