Pictures from Halloween =]
I know the pictures are kind of late, but I've just been so tired lately I couldn't be bothered.
Regardless of what time I sleep, my body has decided to wake itself up every morning at 8am now. It went from 9:30 to 8:30 to 8:00. Sigh... Can't say too much about the quality of sleep either.
My motivation to do anything is officially currently nonexistent since I'm just too exhausted to care...
I haven't even been going to lessons because I'm scared of keeling over just on the ride there! Never mind actually participating. No energy. No balance. No attention span. No memory span. No concentration.
It really sucks...
But anyway...
On Halloween I stayed at home. People came over though and we had hot pot at my house. We also watched Orphan while we were eating. Wasn't such a great movie... but I get scared so easily... (-_-;;)
That morning I walked out to the fabric store and made my costume. It didn't take too long.
I'm supposed to be an Eskimo. I got the idea off of that person who did a post about ridiculous Halloween costumes. Eskimo kisses?
Back view!
My hair was wet when I took this so it looks weird.
One of the guys that came over dressed up too as a Bleach character. I cut off his head in the picture because this was from before he fixed his hair.
My pumpkin before I carved it.
With nerd glasses! <3
After I carved my pumpkin.
It's SUPPOSED to look like Mickey...
We started to carve the pumpkin pretty late, but thanks to daylight savings my pumpkin got to shine for the last half hour or so of Halloween.... sort of.
This pumpkin was carved the day after Halloween. We still have two of them left. Not sure what's going to happen to them.
I've been spending like crazy lately to cheer myself up. Getting new stuff makes me happy. In the past few weeks I've spent $500+. That's a lot considering I used to try not to cringe at a bill of over $50 unless I really, really wanted it. Now I'm just splurging because I can. If I get off my lazy bum I'll take pictures of the things I bought.
Yesterday I blew more money. I bought some lip thing by Biotherm. It smells really good. And I also wanted this water bottle from Princepessa but then I found out it's a free gift if you spend over $40 from that brand... So I did and I got it.
Ignore my Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. I was going to get a shot in the dark but the caffeine would probably make me sick. The water bottle is on the right.
What it says on it is:"Shoot for the moon.
Even if you miss,
you'll land
among the stars..."
- Unknown
I've had these water bottles before. You can't really turn them upside down for too long or anything because they'll leak... but I really fell in love with it.
Speaking of love, I'm clicking around for the old songs and bands that I used to listen to and I found the acoustic version of "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" and I've been putting it on repeat for a past few days. It's really good!
This is the mp3 version or something. I like the live version better because they repeat the pre chorus, but it doesn't sound as good as the mp3 one. This is how the second part goes in the live version:
"I heard the reverberating footsteps
Syncing up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been."
<3
The bolded part is the pre chorus they omitted before the second chorus in the mp3 version.
I have the acoustic version to Only One by Yellowcard too and I love it, but I'm not gonna post it up because the singer goes a little off key.

Happy Halloween!
Hey everyone!
It's Halloween! Haven't got anything planned for today but I'm happy I got the day off!
Hopefully someone's going to give me a call and tell me to do something with them.
I'm not too sure I should go ahead with my original costume idea just because I hurt myself and my costume will sort of show it off. =/ If I wear my costume I'll post a pic later. The day hasn't "officially" started yet.
It's been raining like everyday for the past little while and the other day I stupidly temporarily gimped myself during lessons... sigh... A walk to the bus home that takes about 15 minutes usually ended up taking half an hour. AND I got soaked through. I didn't bring an umbrella with me that day and my hair was actually dripping by the time I got on the bus. People were looking at me like I was a freak. I don't blame them. I would have too. I looked like a homeless youth and I walked like I had a busted leg from getting beat up or something. (-_-;;;)
Anyway. Short post. I'll leave you with a couple of my favorite songs. I've been listening to them over and over lately.
The first one I fall in love with again every single time I listen to it. It's kind of cool because I get a different feeling from it depending on what's going on in life at the moment.
The second song someone sent to me post break up a couple of years ago. This song and the person who sent it to me made me realize the importance of the lyrics of a song. Now I listen to the lyrics of every song and I can love a song even if it doesn't sound that great just because I love what it's meaning is.

UGH! YOU AGAIN! Stupid Pervert!
So long story short. I got on the bus again after work the other day and after a few stops
BAM!
Friggin pervert from the other time gets on the bus and sits next to me....
AGAIN!
I was so annoyed. I just got up.
And the JERK had the nerve to get up too! AND he "accidentally" touched me when he was reaching for the pole behind me to hang on to. How do I know it was "accidental" with the quotation marks?
He's blue because he wore the same stupid blue jacket. He touched me on the back where the red X is. Then pretended nothing happened and grabbed the gray pole where the purple X is. My drawing isn't very proportionate... but I'm not that tall and I can grab the pole where the purple X is comfortably. It's about my shoulder/neck height actually. In fact, that would be the first place I would hold on to it from even if there wasn't anyone standing where I was. Why? Because it's comfortable and the bottom half of the pole is attached to a friggin WALL! What's the point in grabbing that?! Would YOU grab onto a wall with one hand at about waist level to keep you stable on a moving vehicle? NO! You grab something higher up and something you ACTUALLY have a GRIP on! THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU FROM FALLING!
And to ADD to that, why did he get up in the FIRST place? He didn't even get OFF the bus. He was just getting in everyone's way! Who stands up from their seat on the bus before they reach their stop? I know. I did. But that was ONLY to get away from this disgusting excuse for a human being!
UGGHHH! The nerve of that guy!
I was going to deck him. I really was.
But then I thought again about all the trouble I might have to go through. Then I remembered I was rushing off to go visit some special someones...<3
And I had an apple for them! ^^
So I dropped it and got off a stop and a half away... Because I had to.
Fat, old, smelly, disgusting, creep. Out of your league much? Next time. Next time I swear I'm gonna threaten him, but I don't know if he even understands English. If he doesn't? Good. I'm gonna kick him between the legs. I doubt he'll need anything that's down there anyway. If there IS anything down there.
Ugh. Gross.
Change of subject!
The other night some friends called me out for pool. Didn't work out too well. It was a Friday night and every place was PACKED. So instead our search for a pool table to play on turned into just plain bar hopping. Didn't drink really. Virgin strawberry daiquiri and a long island iced tea was all I had the whole night.
I was a little disappointed because I was looking for someone to hang out with all night and it just so happens I WAS looking for someone to play pool with. Wanted to be sober for that. I'm bad enough at pool as it is. Not that I'm really a drinker anyway.
I was originally going to play pool with Sesame, but she turned me down that night saying she was getting sick AND she was going broke from not having a job. I thought she'd go because I invited her to go the day before when I went with the friend I talked about in my last post and she only said no in the end because she had worn bad shoes and ended up with two blisters by the end of the school day.
So I was so happy when they called me out a few hours after Sesame rejected me. AND to play pool. I was like: "dang you read my mind! I was getting so lonely!"
The guy who invited me out was starting to get mad by the end of the night because we couldn't play pool. He was mad partly because he had wanted to play all night, but mostly he was mad because that's what he said we would be doing and he felt bad about promising me something and not being able to keep it. Not to mention he felt horrible for dragging me around everywhere, knowing I don't drink all that much. I understood though, I mean, every bar we went to had pool tables. They were just all busy. I couldn't blame him for that.
At the end of the night though one of us managed to "bully" a pool table from someone. We felt bad and offered to buy them a drink, but they were nice about it and said that it was okay.
It was late by then though and we didn't even get to finish a game before I ran out of there worried about the trains stopping.
Sucks to be me. The trains DID stop by the time I got there and I had to split a cab home with one of the guys.
I didn't mind going home late too much. I hadn't been out late in a while so it was a nice change... and it wasn't even all that late. I only wish I had a little more fun since being out at that time is such a rarity for me. Not that I mind being home early. I like being at home and being able to watch Dexter with my brother before he goes to sleep. I like spending time with him.
I ended up sleeping really late. I don't remember why.
Still. Even though I was utterly exhausted, the nightmares still came and I ended up waking up at the same times I almost always do every night. Usually I wake up 2 - 3 times a night. The times I wake up at night vary and depend on when I go to sleep but almost always by 9:30 I just give up on sleeping anymore.
Last night wasn't too bad. I slept pretty well. I just woke up once at 7 and again at 9:30. I considered that a successful night of sleep, but I was still so tired I was falling asleep in class. I guess I'm not getting very good quality sleep. Well... with nightmares, how could you?
After class I decided to buy a pasta salad. Arghh... $4. So expensive. And it's not even that big! It's about the size of a small styrofoam take out box. And it wasn't full mind you.
After that I went to Starbucks for my winter staple.
Grande skim china green tips tea misto with a shot of vanilla. <3
I hate how I sound like one of those Starbucks snobs who think they're all that because they're holding a Starbucks cup and know the lingo.
Don't ask me why I went to Starbucks even though I already work at a cafe... -_-;;
Here's hoping for a good night's sleep tonight... please... it's been weeks... =[
Good night!

Post Math Exam Destressing
So I just finished off a math exam today. Total craziness! Did some online shopping for a few hours... didn't buy anything but found some really lovable stuff.
BUT FIRST! The MATH test!! *insert horror movie music*
I went into the test thinking "well it's okay, vivi. You're pretty confident with most of the material so if you don't know something, just skip it for now and maybe go back to it later."
I sit down.
I receive the test paper.
BAM!
"This test contains 7 questions and has a maximum of 40 points."
ARRGGHHH!!! But then each question had parts.... so it wasn't SO bad...
I definitely passed.... but as for by how much...?
I don't know. Hahaha!
Mother Hen will kill me.... but I SUCK AT SIMPLIFYING!!!
I had this one question I still kind of remember:
(f(a+h) - f(a))/h....
And then something like f(x)= (x??+??)/(x+1)... I can't remember the top part.
So I'm supposed to put this: f(x)= (x??+??)/(x+1)
In to this: (f(a+h) - f(a))/h
and simplify...
I think I plugged it in right... but now I'm not sure anymore.. and then I never got to solve it because I got so lost.... I was like OMG A FRACTION IN A FRACTION!!! Freaked out and skipped it. Hahaha!
I'm sad.... AND dumb... =[
What kind of Asian am I? Can't even do math properly. The shame.
Then there was this one where I had to find f^-1(x)= -(3x-2)/(2x+1).. something like that... and then... I got lost on that one too.. even though they're supposed to be easy...
BUT instead I like basically nailed my asymptotes (... I think). Finding the vertical asymptotes and the horizontal asymptote (which didn't exist because it was a slant), finding intercepts, holes.
Oh right... another one I'm not sure I got:
Find f1, f2, and f3 if f1 circle f2 circle f3(x) = h(x) = 2/ the square root of (2x^2-3).
SO in case Mother Hen didn't get the hint... SOLVE IT FOR ME AH MA!!! Your Ah Lui is sad... =[
~~~ Shopping ~~~
So I just clicked around and looked at random stuff. I went on strapya and found the CUTEST thing!!!
OMG a cow couple! I love it! they're so cute! WANT!!!
I was looking up couple stuff.
Whether or not I'm single, I love looking at that stuff. It amuses me. They're SO CORNY and SO CHEESY! Maybe I'm just too cynical to get the sweetness of it?
But these COWS. They are so cute! I want them!... Well I guess just the boy. The girl isn't as cute.
But I did see one that I almost fell in love with:
But I really don't like Minnie... But two Mickeys would be strange. There's only one Mickey after all.
So after seeing that I went on a Mickey search and I found this:
I love the viney-ness of it and the color and everything, but I'm not too crazy about the whole pully string part.
Then remembering that I went ahead and did a search on something that's pretty old: Disney Couture!
Beauty and the Beast:
AHHHH! I'm so in love with it!!! I want it!!!!!!! =[
Alice in Wonderland (for some reason I love the fact that the story is so messed up):
Only... I don't like the Cheshire hanging off of it too much. But I love that he says "We're all mad here."
Snow White:
But I saw this one in real life and it seemed a little too bulky for my liking.
Cinderella:
"A dream is a wish your heart makes." I love that. But I'm not sure I'd ever wear it.
Peter Pan:
But I'm not too fond of Tinkerbell and for some reason most of all the stuff from Disney Couture has Tink on it/ is Tink related.
I just clicked around and just saved pictures of what I liked.
That's it for now! I have to wake up in like 5 hours for work. GOOD NIGHT!! Nighttime makes me weird.

The Microwave...
Right now I'm standing in front of a microwave with a busted display and a burnt out light bulb.
I put my frozen dinner inside to cook but I don't know how much time is left before it's finished. =[
I'm waiting for the microwave to beep and tell me when I can eat, but I'm hungry so I know I'm going to get impatient sooner or later. I'll probably get angry and wonder why it's taking so long. I'll probably even flip out every once in a while because I don't know what's going on inside... but I'm too afraid I'll screw it up by opening the door to actually check up on it. Should I do something? Should I inquire the microwave about it's contents? Maybe shine a flashlight or something in to it so I can see? But then... I'm scared I'll somehow screw up my microwave completely... then I'll just be left hungry AND with inedible food.
Patience is something I've never had but even though there's probably something else I can eat in the fridge or on the stove that's easier and faster I'm still going to wait. I don't really care what else I have in the house. I'm not going to bother to check because I already know that I want my friggin frozen dinner!
So here I am trying to to distract myself hoping time will go by faster, but it's not working.
I keep wondering if it's going to cook properly because I know that if it doesn't work out I'll be disheartened, I'll lose my appetite and I'll just end up starving the rest of the night. I can't help wondering whether or not it's going to taste good or if I'll like the result of my microwaving my dinner.
Will my microwave give me something good? Something I want?
Will it turn out well?
Will it be satisfying?
Have I put it in there for too long?
How long is too long?
Will it burn without me knowing?
Have I ruined it so much that it can't ever be fixed?
Will I never be able to eat it?
Maybe I should have put it in the oven?
At least that way I can kind of work with it. I can watch over it and control the temperature. At least then I'm doing something. At least then I would have felt like I put effort into making it delicious.
But... the instructions say to microwave.
The people who made it should know what's best right?
I'm just going to have to trust them and listen to them.
Every minute feels like an hour. I'm trying hard to be good... But I'm so impatient. I don't want to wait... Even though I know I have no choice. Forgive me if I lose it... again...
