Prom shopping, again?!

Yes, oh yes.  Albeit prom was like, *COUGH 4yearsago COUGH* my roommate has insisted every year that we get our fair share of the excitement, too.  I'm definitely thankful that my prom was back in the day when the department stores' prom section spanned across half the store.  When we went yesterday it was disappointingly small, and a lot of the styles are the same.  I swear I've seen this one dress every year!  I always wondered if retailers just pack up unsold dresses and display them again the year after.  'Cause of course the prom shopper could never, ever figure that out.  har har har.  Anyway, these are the two dresses that I tried on this year.

Seems like this is the "in" style for this year; short and volume on the shoulder.  Yeah...whatever the correct fashion "term" for that is.  

All I have to say is that I felt like a bumble bee in this dress.  kekeke.  buzz buzz buzz.


Would never wear either of them to prom though...perhaps homecoming?

Happy Earth Day!

A day dedicated to thinking of the environment and thanking Mother Nature.  And a very happy day indeed, despite the grey skies, because I got a free cleanser from Origins!  ^^  And they are VERY generous.  Full-sized cleanser (retail value of $18.50, I believe) for exchanging an empty skincare product bottle.  I'll do a review of it in a few weeks.



Simple green-friendly habits that will not only save you $$$, but help YOU save the Earth!  (Wow, I sound like an ad.  lol)
  • Recycle!  From soda cans to even ink cartridges.  I know that recycling ink cartridges saves me around  
  • Use both sides of the paper.  I love doing this especially for taking notes and writing lists on the back of receipts and envelopes and stuff.  Not only does it save the amount of paper I need to keep track of, it's green!  ...OK I admit it, I'm a tree hugger :)
  • Save water!  Don't let the faucet drip.  You don't need the sounds of running water while brushing your teeth.  If you really do, do yourself a favor and just buy it on a CD.
  • Turn off power surgers when you're not using them.  You'd be surprised how much your electricity bill goes down if you do this.

On another note, congrats UT for winning Playboy's #1 party school!!  I reaaaally wanted to go to the party tonight and meet some of the play bunnies (is that what you call them?  or is it just play girls?), but the weather's just too yucky.  boo.  It's OK; that free Playboy magazine that I could've gotten can go to the male engineer who needs it more desperately than I do :P

Happy 21st Roomie!

Dear Eva,

Happy 21st!  You may now officially have real fun now.  The adult way :)  

<3 tiff

Warning:  some ghostly pictures are shown below.  Look at your own risk :P




And a homecoming present:



yeah....I know, I need a foundation that's in my correct shade.  haha.  Sadly, I'm already tanning; it's not even officially summer yet!  I couldn't find my foundation brush for my normal looking foundation; hence stuck looking like a ghost.

At first I was a bit worried that we wouldn't have fun since everyone else bailed on us, but it was the total opposite.  Note to self:  never go downtown with guys ever, ever again.  haha.  Without the guys, we got hit on a total of 8 times, got free drinks, and had a blast.  My little Eva had 6 drinks in a span of two hours.  Waaaay better than I did on my 21st.  haha.  And considering before last night, the most she'd ever had at once was 2 drinks, I'd say that's a pretty decent job.  

OK.  Had my fun, and still stuck in the procrastination loop.  Anything new?

Hi, stranger. Long time no see.

Wow, it feels like ages since I've blogged!  Blame that on my laziness + lack of inspiration as of late.  I feel like a real ahjumma now because I go home after school, sit on my bed to watch dramas and relax, and then accidentally fall asleep without even realizing it.  It feels like I was bonked on the head and I think "what just happened...?"

Some of my better outfits from this past week...




I got so many compliments on my yellow nail polish today.  heehee d^_^b  That put me in a good mood.  ...Ok that was an understatement.  I felt reaaaaally happy.  I've been wanting to do yellow nail polish on my hands for a long time, but the first time I got this Zoya in Canary, it was just so streaky and looked like that I had just painted my nails (literally, like a 4 year old) that I didn't like it at all.  But once I put two coats on it turned out well :)

The semester's already winding down...but there's still so much to do!  Next week will be a really exciting week for me.  Why?  Well, you'll just have to wait and see ;)
