I’m here!

Sunday, June 27th, 2010 | 61 Comments

Sorry to be so elusive this week. It was one of those SUPER BUSY WEEKS where nothing interesting happened~ Just work, doctor’s appointments, pms, and so on~~~ :( Tomorrow I start a 3-day training class. We went to find the building Saturday, since I had never been there before & it was a good excuse to walk about the city. :!:

After we located it (god I hope I can find it again tomorrow, LOL) we grabbed a JUMBO SLICE of pizza and split it!



Went to Bethesda later that night just to bum around. :good: Found out this small Japanese store I used to visit a lot when we first moved up here had closed down
*sad* :F

Then again I never went there anymore. It’s too far and their selection had gone down hill.
The one I’ve been going to, Maruichi, for the past 3 or so years always gets in new things~ things that are even new & seasonal in Japanese conbini! So.. yea~ hopefully that one will NEVER CLOSE or I might just die.. inside at least.


I got this really cute Audrey postcard from Veronica in the mail Saturday too~~


Then today I did a little shopping. I wanted to find some cheap jeans. Ended up grabbing some of the $14 “FAB FINDS” F21 jeans. Plus this pair of silk-type black tuxedo slim pants were on sake for $8 so I grabbed em too.

Then this loose fit tank at Victoria’s Secret caught my eye~~ it was so cute and I could use more tank tops ….
LOL, so I bought it!



phhhhhhhhhhhhuftftft~ make & hair this morning~

LOOOOOOL this is the kind of outfit snap you get when you’re too lazy to pack your camera & in the Bloomingdale’s restroom with dim lights and a shittastic blackberry camera!


I hope I can get some looks scanned in & printed out this week. With the heat lately it’s been tough to plan for. It’s been 100F this week. Breaking some record for hottest day in June going back to the 1800’s~~~ But I digress~ I can deal. The humidity isn’t bad and flip flops are my savior

This is what my mags look like pre-scanning!! :haha: Filled with post-its!


I’m so tired you guys…….. I need a vacation :F :(
I’m so glad next week is a 3-day weekend!! Though I wish we were getting Friday off and not stupid Monday

ok i will totally trade weather with you right now
the west coast (or at least washington) has had SUCH MILD SUMMER WEATHER

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:00 pm

I really hate water, even though I LOVE simple tea…. so it’s a total challenge for me too!

 
 
June 28, 2010 @ 1:21 am

OOh wow that pizza looks soo yummy *drool*

and i always love your self portraits - they’re so pretty

Do they make a massive gigantic pizza and cut from it? Haha, jumbo slices fascinate me! I want to see the whole pizza!
You are cute as ever.
This morning I saw an TV CM for this new mascara - http://www.mascaramagazine.com/product/lash_exte_ds/index.html , unreal right!?!

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:04 pm

They actually DO make giant pizzas then cut these slices from them!

Ah yea I’ve seen that in mags! I’m wondering if a state-side version will come into the market. Right now I use L’Oreal’s Double Extend Beauty Tubes fiber mascara that’s basically the same stuff~ primer + fiber black.

That pizza is making me super hungry right now!! It’s so big that it makes the pepperonis look so small.
I love your hair and make. I agree with everyone above me. You should do a tutorial!
I wish we were off on Friday too because this week could go by a lot faster lol. Get some rest!

 
Tori said
June 28, 2010 @ 7:26 am

Hopefully this week will be better & GO MUCH FASTER~!!! ;o; haha~
I wish we had both Friday && Monday off… I heard some places around here are getting both days for the holiday! But I guess beggars can’t really be choosers, right? *fail*
Your hair looks absolutely GORGEOUS there! :O How did you get it to do that fantastic beachy-wave thing??
I always love how your make is so fresh & simple… I really must learn how to do that myself without looking like a total eyeliner abuser, haha
MONDAY MORNING GO~~!!

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:07 pm

Yes both! Mike gets 1 & 1/2 which is more than us ;___;

Thanks about my hair! I first quick curled it with a 1/2″ iron, really loose, then used the s-waver on top of it! then TEASE TEASE TEASE LOL

Awe, you look good with thick liner though, I look sorta strange with heavy liner since I have a really obvious lower crease, I think, I dunno =Y, hahahaaa I just always look emo & not SEXY

 
 
June 28, 2010 @ 7:55 am

the pizza looks yummyyy!!!

A 25??? You’re the tiniest person ever! =O On a good day I’m a 28 LOL -_- I’ll blame my hips on my hispanic heritage

I bet the humidity isn’t too bad for you! For me, I’m starting to suffocate! I dream of the west coast with its dry heat! *sigh*

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:09 pm

LOL I was surprised too, these were the first pair of “skinny jeans” I’ve bought since last summer. I hate that they were in these european/waist sizes whatever because I’m not familiar with them hahahaaa

~please, do tell your secret xD

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:09 pm

I got it cut so there are a ton of top layers now (less heavy)

Haha, the post-its are cute! Btw, Im so envious that F21 stuffs are so cheap there? It costs almost triple the price here after conversion. Hmmmmm 0_0

jenny said

Your hair is looking sweet! I’ve been wearing it the same way, except mine is MUCH more frizzy. I need to learn how to tame it so my natural waves turn out less poofy + frizzy.

I remember the days of scanning magazines for the FRUiTS comm… that used to take up whole weekends! By the time I was done, I didn’t even want to look at the mags again. I’m starting my subscriptions back up again but this time, I might be more selective with what I scan (especially since lots of people can now find scans easily online).

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:14 pm

Oh god the FRUiTS comm!!!!! Yes scanning took days, literally! *nod nod*

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:18 pm

It’s your turn to make me hungry!! Hahahah~ Cuuuute I love the way your bangs are growing out and your make up *A* inspirational~

I love your hair! Especially the way your bang curls… so cute Also your eye makeup is awesome! (totally like… pro)… And you make me want to try some contact lens

June 28, 2010 @ 11:26 pm

Ok, that pizza should not be allowed to be called a slice. That is basically a whole pizza!! Haha, it looks really yummy. Pizza is my favorite food^^

25×29, girl you skinny ^^ hum it’s strange to use inches for girls pants. I luckily don’t know my size in inches haha. I saw these pants for guys in Japan and they were 24 inch (not really sure why it was in inches… but anyway) and I was like damn! XO

I’m looking forward to what you scan from those magazines!

Oh yeah it’s going to be a holiday weekend huh? Dang! I don’t get any days off though because my classes are all online TT

Sara Mari said
June 28, 2010 @ 11:28 pm

And I want to say I love your outfit! You are so cute as always!

 
jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:20 pm

I was actually quite annoyed with F21~ it’s like they can’t figure out what sizing system they want and I have a hard time remember what I am in non-typical-US sizing =__=

Hi Jenny,

I read your previous post about taking baths and I was gonna ask, how do you keep your magazines dry? I like to read my magazines in the tub too but I’d hate for them to get wet and wrinkly :(

Thanks! :(

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:22 pm

They totally get watermarks & drips no doubt, haahaa~ I used to baby them and worry about water damage & such but then I rather enjoy them during relaxing times than try to keep them in “mint” condition. I do tend to leave them on the side of the tub and flip through them there rather than holding it or something.

You look so cute with your hair all did! You look biracial too for some reason !

How do you eat the pizza and stay so trim? Ive been making my self walk vs taking the subway in order to stay fit cuz summer food is TERRIBLE! and I loves to eat DX Very cute buys btw, the F21 pants last long-ish?

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 10:30 pm

On the weekends I’ll usually eat delicious things like this pizza because I’m out & about all day! For example, I literally walked 2 miles from the metro to this pizza place! 1 slice is roughly 1,000kcal. Mike and I split it, so 500 calories each! Then I walked 2 miles back to the metro burning off basically half of what I ate already~~ I walk. I walk & walk~ I walk for 20 minutes every night after dinner too That plus I keep in mind what I’m eating and the calorie content~ After last summer I’ve become pretty good at knowing the calorie amount in nearly every food so it’s easy to keep a mental note and compare it to what my daily caloric intake should be in order to maintain my current weight

I dunno how F21 pants stand up over time~ I don’t often buy pants there. The pants I DID get there last year I couldn’t wear anymore so I’m really not sure~ we’ll find out!

Yaaay happy postcard is happy

Great black pants! have to say I am super into lightweight slacks lately - even the cropped ones that look a bit weird on me, haha - they are so comfy but stylish and breathable in summer

Hope you have a great week

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 9:59 pm

Yea I haven’t worn these yet, maybe they breathe nicely too

 
 
Honeydew said
June 29, 2010 @ 9:21 pm

You look different in your pictures somehow, probably because of your hair?

jenny said
June 29, 2010 @ 9:58 pm

New haircut probably, not even a week old~~ I also did cat eye style eyeliner this weekend to mix it up, so only half my eye is lined ?? Maybe that’s it?

Oh, your hair is so cute! That tank top is great too! I really love skulls, and the fact that its made of filigree is awesome.

My fiance and I have been talking walks almost everyday after dinner. It really is great exercise.

Hi! I’m a new reader of your blog! Love everything. Sooo cute!

I have a question - what type of camera are you using in the 2nd & 3rd pics of this post? I love the style they have (old-school polaroid), and am looking for a new camera.

Thanks for your help!

Bonnie

jenny said
July 5, 2010 @ 8:27 pm

Oh that’s not my camera’s effects! That’s just some quick “vintage” color actions I used in photoshop.

Hello!

I was wondering, where do you get your Japanese magazines? Do you order them online?

jenny said
July 5, 2010 @ 8:26 pm

Currently I get them at a store in my city.

I showed Sam that jumbo pizza and we both became very hungry…haha!! I really got to try it! Well, keep posting blurry cords and I won’t feel so embarrassed to post some of mine, too! And lol I used to always put post-it at my favorite magazine cords but then they started staining the paper. -_-↓↓ Maybe because they were bright pink? Oh yeah TGIF (almost)! Have a lovely fourth!!
