This post is brought to you by the fact that pretty much no one sees the bras you wear. (Which, you know, means that I want to talk about the gorgeous new bra I bought, lololol!)

So way back in, like, September or so, Ewa Michalak posted a preview pic of their CHP Gazeta bra on their Facebook account and I was basically in love, lol. It didn't come out for another month or so after that pic on Facebook and by the time it came out, I was like iffy about buying it because of the cost and how unsure I was of my EM size (since the only EM bra I'd ever tried before was pretty much a fail). And so months have past, but earlier this month, I was like, fuck this, I've been eyeballing this bra forever, I should just suck it up and buy it! (I bought two other bras with it, you know, to make the shipping cost worth it and of the three, two of them are perfect, so I call that a win.)

It took a million years (or, you know, three weeks, which is basically a million years when you order something online), but it finally came in the mail yesterday! Of course when I got it, I totally tried it on right away and it fit perfectly! Seriously, this is like the first bra I own that has enough immediate projection for my boobs -- no creases at the bottom at all! ♥ The best bras I have before this are a couple Comexim bras, which have narrow wires but not enough immediate projection, and a couple Cleo bras, which have too wide wires and still not enough immediate projection, so this is great. (The SM Czarna Mgielka I bought with this order is perfect too. The SM Czarodziejka though is kinda a fail, though probably still wearable. So sad.)

Anyway, the Gazeta bra is SO SO SO gorgeous in person. ♥ Like, I can't believe I let half a year go by without buying this bra.

Isn't it awesome?!

I totally wore it today because how could I not?! The only thing that sucks about this bra is that enormous red bow in the middle -- seriously, WTF is that? I mean, once you get into the larger cup sizes, your boobs are so big that the bow is just a giant squish in between them! If it was smaller, it might be okay, but yeah... I might remove the bow later if it annoys me too much, lol.

Anyway, according to the website and some reviews, the band runs tight and I'm pretty consistently a 30H in most bras, so I ordered this in a 70GG (32GG) and it's great. I read some reviews that people said they thought the cup ran big, but I'm glad I didn't listen to that 'cause I found the cups to be pretty true to size.

So yeah. Enough bra talking -- I just had to post because I have lots of feelings and it wasn't enough to just gush to

aznearthdragon. XP

Happy Labor Day Weekend! =) It's been so freakin' hot here in SD, it sucks! But yeah, I'm so glad for a break from work! It's been about a month since I last updated, so let's get to it!

K-POP!
All these people I care about are promoting right now and it's both awesome and annoying, LOLOL. Awesome because, hello, people and music I like and a bunch of performances to watch every week! But annoying because a lot of stuff to keep up with!

First there was Seungri! He's currently the only BB member whose solo efforts I actually care about (GD, I'm totally side-eying you right now, please stop with your ridiculousness and put out music I like and stop wearing all those crappy clothes!). He came out with his teaser for his new album a few weeks ago and when I watched it, I almost died, LOL. Seriously, I knew it said explicit, but it definitely didn't register and I was like O_O and then my mom walked by while it was at the part with the guy pulling down the girl's panties and I was like NOOOOO DON'T LOOK AT MEEEEEE and I almost had a heart attack, LOLOLOL. Then his single came out and his album and I've been jamming to it all, obviously! My favorite song on the album is probably Love Box, but yeah, the album is pretty solid.

( Some of Seungri's comeback performances! )

Then there was Henry! ♥♥ You all know how much I love Henry, it's seriously a lot! And he's back with my favorite, 1-4-3! When SMTOWN posted the video of Henry singing 1-4-3 acoustic and saying that he'd be coming back with that song, I totally FREAKED OUT!

"" (Watch on YouTube)

Seriously, SO GOOD! Also, the fact that there were actually English subtitles for this video was A+.

Then there was the music video!

"" (Watch on YouTube)

Totally cute! I hate Henry's blond hair though -- it just washes him out so much, please be getting rid of it soon. =( Amber and Henry's hair match in this video though, LOL. She rocks it slightly better, but yeah. Wish there was more Amber and less random girl because obviously Henry and Amber are the best!

( Some Henry comeback performances! )

There was also Henry on 100% Entertainment, which you should definitely watch because it is great!

Seriously, I love Show so much and Butterfly is so cute and Henry is adorable with his fail Chinese and going along with everything. ♥

There was also a comeback from Nu'est, which is totally cute as well. And Exo has a new song, Growl, which is definitely more my tastes than Wolf was. And bonus, a comeback from Sunmi (from Wonder Girls)! I didn't even know she was having a comeback, but this was one of the rare times that I downloaded and watched the whole M! Countdown episode from the 22nd, so I saw her comeback song and it was so awesome. it's definitely been stuck in my head forever!

"" (Watch on YouTube)

SO GOOD!

SHOPPING
Today I went to the La Americas outlet mall down by the border with

aznearthdragon and the brother. It was the first time we've ever been there and it's huge! Also, it's kinda weird being right next to the border! I mean, I've never been outside of the US and the fence of the border was right there on the other side of the back parking lot! Anyway, we were there for most of the day and went to a bunch of stores, but in the end, we didn't end up getting anything, LOL. Afterwards, we went to Plaza Bonita, where the brother got some jeans, took a break at home to eat, then went to Mission Valley to get another pair of jeans from Macy's (since they didn't have the ones the brother wanted in stock at the one in Plaza Bonita). So basically a day full of shopping, though I didn't get anything myself.

In other news, I bought a couple more tops from Urkye during their sale this month and they are awesome, of course. ♥ I didn't know how much of a difference there would be buying shirts made with room for your boobs, but now that I have some, it's definitely hard to go back to wearing my other shirts. I also just ordered this dress the other day when it was on sale (and the last of my size! But it looks like they've restocked, lol), so I'm hoping to get it soon since it seems like a super easy dress to wear that I can also wear to work (and it's been so hot lately, it would be great!). I need to save up to buy from BiuBiu also! They have cute things, but their shipping is slightly more. =/

NIGHT VALE!
A few weeks ago I started listening to Welcome to Night Vale and it is GREAT! I basically started listening to it at work and then I burned through all the episodes out so far in, like, two days, LOL. It's basically a community radio station for a fictional desert town called Night Vale. I'm so amused by the weirdness that is Night Vale and how totally normal it all is. The whole time I was listening to the show, I wished there was someone else I knew listening to it so I could discuss all the crazy stuff that happens and all the random stuff Cecil (the narrator/radio host) says! I basically gave a running commentary to one of my friends via IM while I was listening to some of the episodes, but it would have been greater if she knew what I was talking about, LOLOLOL. You should definitely listen if you haven't already: iTunes (eww) / Libsyn / Soundcloud.

I had more to say, but I'm getting sleepy, so this will be it for now. Hopefully this heatwave dies down a bit soon 'cause it sucks, especially when you're trying to sleep! =( I know that the heat here is probably nothing compared to the heatwaves other parts of the country are experiencing, but whatever, we San Diegans are weak when it comes to the weather! We have our typical good weather range and anytime it's a couple degrees hotter or cooler than normal, we moan and complain. As a native, I'm perfectly fine admitting it and it doesn't change the fact that I don't like it! XP

SHOES!
A few weeks ago I bought these awesome shoes when they were on sale:

Gold Wing Sneaker Wedges

Gold Spiked Contrast Wing Wedge Sneakers

Seriously, how cool are these shoes?! They have wings!!! ♥♥ When I was debating on whether to buy them or not, I asked my brother and he was like, "They look too Asian" and I was like, "Are you saying I'm not Asian enough?" and he was like, "Yes." LOL, that troll. It is pretty Asian, but it's too awesome not to own, especially when they were only $24. XP

WORK / MOVING WOES!
Last week was our first week in our new office! We moved from East Kearny Mesa down to Mission Valley, so slightly shorter distance to work, though the commute time is pretty much the same. It's pretty cool being right by the mall(s) and stuff, though I worry about major shopping times (like Christmas!) and how that will make my commute ridiculous. Right now though, it's okay.

Last Monday, when I first walked into the office in the morning, it was SUCH a mess! I mean, I was expecting that, but I was hoping that the cubicles would have been set up, at least. Let's just say that only three of the ten were set up. x_x We basically spent Monday unpacking and setting up what we could (since there's only so much you can really do when you don't have a desk) and just hanging around doing nothing. The movers finally showed up around 3:30 on Monday (they said they'd be there between 1:00-3:00) and when I left at 5:10-ish, they were just starting to put together my cube. Then on Tuesday, I come in and it basically looked the same as before the movers showed up! x_x Seriously, they put together 1.5 (mine was the .5) cubes on Monday, but it was taken apart when I came in, 'cause I guess they realized that they were assembling them wrong (which we all pretty much knew because the cubicles set up were ALL wrong) and yeah. The people without desks just set up our desktops temporarily in either offices or random desks in the main area to work for the day since we need to work, you know? And the movers were suppose to come again, supposedly between 11:00-1:00, but of course they didin't come. I left, but the next day, when I came in, one of the guys said that him and three other people were waiting for the movers until almost 7:00pm and they never showed up! ARGHHHHH! You can tell how the rest of the week went, I'm sure... I was working in my temporary spot the whole week and the movers finally came Friday afternoon, but yeah. I have a cubicle now (today was the first day I actually got to use it), but it's an L, not a U anymore because the movers are seriously incompetent. x_x They were cutting pieces to make them fit and obviously they shouldn't need to since they fit together in the old office. Also, they said there weren't enough pieces for everyone to get U's, so that's why we have L's now, but there are a bunch of left over pieces! Basically, this is lame, but what can you do?

A little late, but Happy 4th to everyone in the US! Hopefully you all had a good day. I spent my day pretty much doing nothing except for the short excursion to Nordstrom Rack to check out out their Off The Rack sale. I was hoping that there might actually be some bras there in my size (even though I knew it was super unlikely). Anyway, the first thing that popped out to me when I looked at the rack was this red bra that I headed straight towards and it was a Freya Firecracker Deco Honey for only $9.95 and it was SO PRETTY except it was a 32G, so I knew it wouldn't fit me. ;_______; Sadly that was the only bra that was even close to my size, so I decided to try it on anyway. As expected, it was too small, which I already knew since I had tried on a black 32GG Deco at Nordstrom a few weeks ago and that one fit okay (though I could have probably gone up another cup size, but they don't make that). Anyway, I was super sad when I handed it back because SUCH A GOOD DEAL, but it was definitely too small, especially on my bigger boob. ;_____;

In other news, I watched this video of Henry performing at the Hong Kong Dome Festival the other day:

On My Mind is still totally one of my favorite songs. ♥ (It is totally the ringtone for my phone, lol). And Holiday! Also, how ridiculously cute is Henry talking in Cantonese?! Seriously, he was like, "You guys probably know my dad is Hong Kong person, so I'm a Hong Kong person too!" What a dork, lol. ♥ And there was Trap in Chinese! And Taemin totally failing at lip syncing to it since he has no idea what the lyrics are. Why didn't they have Kyuhyun there instead?

Sadly I have work tomorrow. I don't think that many people will be showing up, but hopefully people who have keys to the building will actually come or else I'll just be stuck, lol. Hopefully it'll be a short day...

I'm so ridiculously bad at updating! I think the last thing I posted was basically a love-post to Shinhwa, LOL. I've just been busy with work and class and catching up on Shinhwa Broadcast (I'm not fully caught up yet, but seriously, the show is so amazeballs, you should DEFINITELY watch it even if you have no interest in Shinhwa because it's hilarious and their friendship is awesome. ♥♥ Sadly they've finished their promotional period with This Love (you know I watched every single performance of that shit, hahaha), but it's okay, now there's Henry!

When I found out that Henry was gonna get a solo album, I was SO excited! Like, I had no idea it would even happen, but I get YouTube alerts and I totally freaked I saw the email saying that SMTOWN uploaded Henry's Trap teaser and, not gonna lie, I listened to that shit on repeat all day at work, LOLOLOL. Then later, there was the that Medley teaser thing that SMTOWN always posts up before the album and I was like, OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST and I was ridiculously happy that I only had to wait, like, a week before the album was released because if I had to wait forever, I would have gone crazy! The MV for Trap was okay, but NGL, I totally lost my shit when Kyuhyun showed up in his stupid outfit and had horrible falsetto. (Plus, Henry totally doesn't need Taemin or Kyuhyun because he is amazeballs on his own, seriously!)

The album was ridiculously awesome (if you like pop) and you should listen to it, like, stat if you haven't yet. XP I pretty much love all the songs on the album and I wish that it was an actual FULL album and not just a mini. I also love that he's promoting right now on all the shows even if the styling for this promo period is so SO horrible. Seriously, check this shit out:

Yes, on the one hand, fucking violin intro (that is WAY too short) and shirtless Henry! On the other hand, the stupid "tattoos" make it hard to appreciate his half-nakedness! (Also, Henry needs to seriously eat some food, he's way too skinny right now. ;______;)

But whatever, please watch Henry playing/singing live on SUKIRA:

And watch the video SMTOWN posted of Henry playing Trap and also Choplin from the movie Secret:

Basically Henry is the greatest and I haven't had a chance to watch his performances yet from last week (and it's already time for this week's performances), but it's all good since it gives me something to look forward to. XD (But seriously, 1-4-3 would be an amazing single and so would My Everything.)

In other news, I'm sad to say that lately, I've been addicted to bras. ;______; It's not a very good addiction since, hello, bras are expensive! I haven't bought many, but it sucks when you do buy something and it doesn't fit. =/ BTW, I'm trying to sell a 32H Ewa Michalak CHP Brzoskwinka (way too loose in the band) and 32H Panache Jasmine (wires too wide and tall under my armpits, might possible fit better in a 32GG), both only worn once and handwashed, if any of you are interested.

But seriously, last week, I finally watched the Stek Trek movie from a few years ago (ugh, that movie made me want to read fic, lol) and you know that scene when Kirk is making out with Gaila and then Uhura comes in and strips down? I totally said, "Their bras don't fit" out loud, when I saw them! I was watching the movie with my brother,

aznearthdragon, and her boyfriend, and they kinda know about my addiction, so it's okay, but seriously, the fact that their bras didn't fit totally hurt my heart, LOL. Both of them had bad fitting bras, but Uhura's was especially sad because it was riding up ridiculously high and also the cups were WAY too small. It's kinda sad that I'm so invested wanting everyone to be in good-fitting bras, lol, but seriously, you know how they say a good fitting bra will change your life? It's SO true -- even just getting NEAR your real size makes a ton of difference after wearing ill-fitting ones.

Anyway, I should probably go to sleep now since I need to get to work early in the morning. Until next time!

This past week was spring break which is awesome since yay, no class! (Not that I'm taking many classes, but you know how it is.) Sadly break is almost to an end, especially since I start working again on Monday as well. =/ But in celebration of getting a job, I went shopping with my brother (who's in town for spring break as well) earlier this week! Mostly it was shopping for bras, lol.

I haven't gone bra shopping in a couple years and I've been wanting to go bra shopping, but I was holding out since I didn't have money. I went to Intimacy to get fitted since it's been a while and now I'm pretty much a 32G (boobs, stop growing please!). Anyway, my bras!

( BRAS! =) )

So yeah, this was pretty much a post about my new bras, but whatever, bra shopping is awesome! (Except for, you know, the whole having to actually try on a bunch of bras and spend a lot of money part, lol.)

It only took a few weeks before I got on this, so yay me! XP

HIKARU NO GO!
So a couple weeks ago I decided to rewatch Hikaru no Go because I was in the mood and it's awesome. XP I basically marathoned through it over about a week and a half. Then on Sunday afternoon, I decided that I should read the manga, because even though I gotten a couple volumes in, I haven't finished it all the way through. So yeah, after only one day of reading on Sunday (because I didn't have a chance to yesterday), I'm already on the start of the Young Lions Tournament. XD I'm hoping I can finish reading the whole series before class starts next week. =)

SUPER JUNIOR-M!
The new Super Junior-M album is pretty awesome. ♥ I've been listening to it on repeat at work, lol. My favorite song has to be It's You, because liking cheesy love songs is how I roll. XP
I like this video because it has lyrics, shows me who sings each line, and has the added bonus of making me crack up at how ridiculous everything about that picture is. Also, what is Siwon's face?

CARPET!
We got new carpet for our living room last week! I didn't mention it here, but during Thanksgiving, we found out that there was a hot water leak in the foundation, so we had to reroute the pipes. During the reroute process, stuff happened and the dining area near the manifold got flooded, so the carpet was smelling all moldy and stuff. Anyway, we finally bought carpet when aznearthdragon and I came back from vacation and they installed it last week on aznearthdragon's birthday.

SHOES!
I've been staring at these shoes on eBay for, like, three weeks trying to decide if I really want them or not, lol.

They look nice, but I dunno if they look nice enough to drop $50 on them, lol. I mean, I've been wanting sneaker wedges for a while, but a lot of the stuff I've seen aren't really my taste and this is pretty much as close to my taste that I can get that is relatively affordable. I guess I've stare at them some more and decide in a few days, LOL.

I'll end this off here for now. XP

Yesterday, I went to the Madonna shopping center because I wanted to go to Ralphs. Of course, that meant that I went around to most of the other stores around that area because I was there. XP So yeah, I bought two pairs of shoes from Payless. ^_^;; They were so cute and cheap, so I couldn't just pass them up, lol. I'm so lame. XP

The first pair of shoes -- they're kinda lame with the stupid laces, but whatever. It's still cute. XP

The other pair of shoes. XD I like these ones more, but they're more dress-y, IMO, so yeah.

But yeah.. The only thing about the shoes are that they're shiny. Reminds me of ROTC, lol, but yeah, if there was one thing I learned from ROTC about shiny shoes is that they scuff easily. =/ And yeah, that would suck a lot, but what can you do? =/

Anywayz.. Last night I wasted time making the three-page portfolio thing that was due today. It was lame 'cause I knew I didn't have much content and I didn't want to put in a lot of effort to make it, so yeah... x_x I finished it this morning and turned it in earlier at 1:00. At least that's done...

So last night, while I was working on laying out my two pages, I started watching Meteor Garden. Yeah, it's old, but I wanted to know what the hype was all about. And yeah.. Let's just say now that, so far, I don't see what all the hype was about. x_x There are a lot of things on the show that I don't like and go HUH over. And yeah.. But maybe it gets better? 'Cause I'm only on episode nine, but yeah.. Otherwise, there is no reason people should be all, OMG I LOVE IT when they talk about the show...

Now, I need to get studying for my ENGR 302 final tomorrow. =/ I keep getting distracted! ;_; Stupid drama... XP

So today, I went to my bank today -- well, credit union, but I still call it a bank 'cause banking is banking -- to open a checking account. I have one at WaMu, but with their recent financial stability, my parents don't think I should keep my checking there, so yeah. I didn't go and close my account at WaMu yet, but I'm planning to do it next weekend or so, when I have time back in SLO.

After that, went to Fashion Valley to walk around and stuff.

aznearthdragon bought my a dress from Old Navy -- it was like, $25. I think it looks pretty cute, haha. There was an all black version of it, which looks kinda more dressy, but I think the one I got looks cuter. XP Other than that, just "window" shopped. It's not like we can really afford stuff there anyway. I mean, I think it'd be cool to walk into Coach, LV, Jimmy Choo, or any of those big name stores to look at stuff, but the sad thing is I know I can't afford any of that stuff anyway, haha. I guess that's what stores like Nordstroms, Saks Fifth, and Bloomingdales are for -- so I can actually see what some of that expensive stuff actually looks like, hahah. XP But seriously, I wish I could afford some of that stuff, but then again, only some of the things interest me. I saw some cute boots today that were like, $1100 or something, which is too insane for me. At least my

bobbleheadvi bought me some boots last year for birthday/Christmas (that cheater). They're so hot and pretty! XD But expensive too! He got them at Nordstroms and it was like, $100 or so, on sale. I think the regular price was like $400 something, so yeah. @_@ But they're so HOT! XD I wish I could wear them more often, but I dunno, it doesn't really seem like something I can wear all the time, haha, especially considering I go to school and am there all the freakin' time. x_x

Later on, around 5:30ish, went out to Lolita's Taco Shop for Panyia's going away surprise thing. Waited for everyone to get there, then had to wait for Panyerz to get there. They blindfolded her and then when she saw us, she was all shocked, lol. But yeah.. Got some carne asada fries to share with

aznearthdragon and yeah.. So much! We totally couldn't finish it and had to ask Catherz to get us a box, hahah. But yeah.. just hung out with peoplez and yeah..

It's so weird 'cause everyone's starting school on Thursday, but I'm starting on Monday. WTF?! Why does everyone start later? I mean, all these SD peepz going to UCSD start on Thursday. Rick, who goes to Cal Poly Pomona starts on Thursday. Panyerz, going to UCI is also starting Thursday! Why must you suck so much, Cal Poly?! x_x

So yeah.. I'm off to SLO tomorrow. *tears* I don't want to leave! And I definitely don't want to start school yet! I need more break time, damnit! ;_;

I should go to bed now.. x_x But lastly, before I part, I have to say, read this: An Old-Fashioned Unicorn's Guide to Courtship by Sarah Rees Brennan (

mistful). It's awesome, lol. XP I think it's funny and sadly, all my years of watching Disney made me feel like the princess should have went with the prince, since he was nice and stuff, but I have to say that the ending is pretty awesome. XP So yeah.. READ IT! XP

Sorry for not posting in a while... I seem to do that a lot lately... *sigh*

School starts soon. I don't want to go back, but that won't stop it from coming, huh? *sigh* This sucks. And I have to go to Kearny on Thursday to return all this crappy papers I had to fill out. *sigh* And next week, on Wednesday, I have to go to the stupid orientation (sp?). -_-

We went school shopping during the weekend... Shopping's fun, school's not. School shopping is probably one of those things everyone dreads, 'cause it means that school's coming, huh? *sigh*

I can't belive that I'm going into high school! It's kinda weird.. I mean, since you're little, you've always thought 'bout high school, but to go for real... it's just weird.

Well, I gotta go. Until later --
