LOL, I just banged my finger against the side of my laptop and *pop* goes my nail.
I'm just rewinding down from my family yearly 7/4 big BBQ and I noticed my appetite was wider than last year, I ate: 2 hot dogs, 1 hamburger, 3 shish kabobs (1 chicken, 2 beef), 2 slices of CAEK, 1 chicken thigh, some baked shrimp, and a diet Fresca, something that isn't sold around in NYC as far as I remember but it was delish. And that 4 cups of green tea and 4 crackers was all I ate and now I have a stomachache. Ugh.
Well, happy belated Independence Day to everyone.... even if you're not American. Well when it's 7/4 and you live in NYC, there's the famous Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island each year, and it's like the Super Bowl/World Cup/World Series of competitive eating. And this year was pretty fucking epic since it was the first time EVER, there was a tie and there had to be a tiebreaker round. Ugh, I would love to see it but I couldn't, but my close friend went (while I was at home, cleaning the house ಥ_ಥ). I can't wait for the pics.
But I had fun, I was inside of my grandma/aunt's house most of the time because the other day I was a spectacular feast for the mosquitoes because I was helping out my mom cleaning out the backyard for the BBQ. Seven bites on the arms and was itching like HELL the following day. I was watching a mini marathon
Clean House on the Learning Channel with my aunt, her friend and my grandma and we had a blast, especially being constantly grossed out when they had a special double episode of the show of the "Messiest Home of America" and I was utterly, utterly grossed out, especially it was discovered that there were pounds of petrified cat shit on the floor in one of the rooms. I may be a bit of a clutterbug (but granted, once a year, I DO throw out stuff), but my god, I was like a Patron Saint of Cleanliness compared to these people.
But it was an eventful end to a eventual week. My mother getting discriminated by being called a racial slur and a threat against her life because she was parking at a public spot. That really upset me because I didn't see that coming out of nowhere and it was uncalled for. And I got the wake up of my life today:
My cousin's grandmother (not related, BTW), told me I got fatter. ;_; I know I never lost the weight gain from my last semester of college (stressful time was very stressful), but I'm trying. I was able to fit into my clothes I couldn't fit last summer. That was a dropkick to my meager womanly pride and now I must diet seriously now. After all, my mother promised $300 if I lost a significant amount of weight and I can use that for rent. orz.
I finally got my Tokidoki bag I mentioned in my last blog. It's really super cute, I'm planning when I can wear it outside for the first time. It's a little quirk of mine. Like this graphic v-neck button shirt and brown sorta dressy capri pants combo I'm wearing now was a outfit I planned a full MONTH AND A HALF before today and saving my new shirt until then. LOL. Well, I might as well on Monday when I have to run an errand to Pearl's Paint Chinatown. It's like a mecca for artists at a reasonable discounted price! I need a couple of file cases for my reference pics from the magazines I'm destroying. The two I have are full to the brim. *sigh*
I still want to buy Reborn doujinshi. It's only been like 7 weeks since my last purchase of doujinshi. ;_;. Maybe I'll just buy two since I saved money on my bag. orz orz orz
Also, I'm kinda sad that Junjou Romantica is taking a fucking season break... although it might not come back depending on DVD sales. Damn DEEN! It left off where I last read the manga too...
