The "P" Sisters

Skin Care

I find myself obsessing over skincare. I am always looking at products, buying skin care products, and keeping my skin from being exposed too much to the sun. I have more skin care products than I do makeup. I think this is where most of my money goes. I feel that if anything, skin care products are the ones to splurge or spend money on.

We all have our obsessions and likes. Mine just so happens to be skin care. I think it has to do with wanting to keep my skin young and healthy looking. I know that a lot of Asians put a lot of money into skincare and keeping their skin healthy. My aunts are exactly like that, she spends a lot of her money on skin care products and now only uses Asian skin care products. I used to only use American Skincare products,but since I started using Asian skin care products, it seems to be the only skincare products i use now. why? because I feel like the American products does not do justice to my Asian skin. I find the Asian products more suitable to my skin and works better. I also used to use skin care products made in France. That too, also worked...somewhat but I use mostly only Asian products now. I still use American brands here and there. but only because Asian products are a little on the pricey side so yea. I just love skincare products and trying out new stuff and looking at skin care products.

I guess, I bring this up because I have been wanting to buy another skin care product, and have been looking at skincare products. I am so tempted, but I cant buy because I need the money for school. Until I can get a job, I will have to wait :(

oh gym

So, I woke up at 8:30am today, a little too early if you ask me considering that during summer, I usually wake up at 12pm and that I have had trouble sleeping lately. Anyway,GYM...I have no idea why I hate going to the gym so much and working on the mach and working on the machines. I guess I just get bored? then there's the "i don't know what else to do, or I don't know what to do"

I guess I like working out with a class because it's fun. I make it fun. My favorite way of exercising and getting into shape would be swimming! I love swimming, I love the water, anything with water I will do and enjoy. If I had access to a pool like i used to, I'd be swimming everyday and not feel like it's a workout, or that i have to because I enjoy.

GYM, not my ideal way of working out and getting in shape, but at least I don't have to be in the sun and the heat. I hate the sun and I try to stay out of the sun and heat as often as I can. I just can't do want weather.

I do enjoy working out in cold weather though because I don't feel the heat and the sun is not shinning. Plus, you work out harder to break a sweat. I sweat easily :)

Graduation(s)

Since summer had just begun, I have been busy with graduations left and right. Starting with my little sister's high school graduation, followed by my little cousin's 8th grade promotion, then on Tuesdays, I was back in OC for two of my cousin's high school graduation...I was just in OC on Sunday for fathers day. Anyway, Summer is busy, filled with lots of family events that aunt has emailed us with already. I have cousins baby shower coming up soon. I have such an awesome family! I often get told by my friends how cool it is that my cousins and I all hang out and are so close. We do everything together, I have to say that we are our own cheer squad and friends :)

Anyway, Cousin's graduation was fun, very sunny and hot, I hid from the sun along with one of my cousin because well, lets face it, we hate the sun and didn't want to burn.High school graduation always makes me sad because it reminds me of the graduation I didn't have. By that, I mean that I did graduate from high school, but not with my friends because I moved to another city and school during the second semester of my junior year. I didn't know anyone, nor did I care too. I was still bitter and mad that I had to leave my life, and friends behind. So my senior year was not memorable or happy. I graduated with people I did not know. My high school graduation, I just wanted to leave. Having gone to my 3 little sister's high school graduation, and little cousins high school graduation, it makes me sad because I never had that. my high school graduation was also on the same same day that my cousin was graduation high school, so not many family were able to go to mine, then again, I lived like 45mins away from the rest of my family. Traffic on a weekday, yea, that made them want to come to mine.

Anyway, I wished my High school graduation could have been different. Makes me sad that I am getting older as well. I don't like the idea of myself aging and getting older.
These are only pictures of my cousins graduation from Tuesday,sister and little cousins 8th grade promotion will NOT be included in this post.

and....of course I was getting a little bored at the graduation, decided to randomly take a picture of something. Also, I had to change my camera setting so, had to do a test run.

which leads to....my abstract-ish photo :)

What a Hot Wednesday

I assume today is the mark of summer and I am defiantly feeling the heat and I am not too fond of this weather. To be honest, I hate summer, I really hate the sun and the heat. I hate that I am so sensitive to the heat, first sign of heat and I am already sweating, it's embarrassing. I dont mind sweating when I am being active, but if I am just sitting around, or standing out in the sun, I break out in sweat and I drip. As I am typing this, sweat is dripping down my neck and forehead is moist from sweat. I do not like this weather, I do not like being hot. I want winter to come back already. Look at me summer has just begun and already I am sick of this scorching heat.

I still want to do more to this blog, so I guess slowly I will add more content and make it less boring looking.

DUI check point(s)

So they have this awesome thing called a DUI checkpoint. I am not sure if any other state does this, but California has it and I think it is such a great idea to have it so that those driving under the influence can take responsibility for their actions. One thing that I have a problem is that people telling others about the check point and which street they should avoid.

This is not the first time I seen this posted, but I was on twitter and coming across a friends tweet about two DUI check points on certain streets, and alerting via tweet that people should be careful. It seems as though they make this announcement so that people who are partying or drinking, then decide to drive home will see this and avoid those areas. It really makes me mad that people would do this.

I have a strong hate with alcohol and people drinking and getting drunk, especially when I am around. I don't know what it is, but when I see people drinking and getting drunk, all I can think about is how ridicules they look and act when drunk, or why would they put their body through that. Do they not have self respect? I know I respect my body too much to put toxin in my body. Then again, who am I to say about their body, their body, so they should do what they want.


If it were me, and I knew about possible DUI check point, I would keep it to myself because I do not want anyone driving with alcohol in their system and putting innocent people in danger.

Nothing gets me more heated than the subject of alcohol and drunks. I have such strong opinions about it and I am not afraid to state how I feel about it. I have been pressured into drinking, or why I do not drink. I tell them that I have never gotten drunk, or taken a shot, yet they make such a big deal about it, like getting drunk is a mandatory. I will not give into peer pressure, nor will I allow myself to put toxin in my body. I choose not to drink because of personal reason, and I am so proud or that choice. Most people can't understand why, when I tell them I do not drink, it's always "why?" then tell people that it's fun. I don't see what is so fun or cool about it. only one person that I met recently when I told him I do not drink because of personal reason and that it was my choice for respecting my body, and because I want to follow the Catholic faith the best I could. He said that that I am smart for choosing this. I then thought, wow, here is someone who can respect mt decision, and not make such a big deal out of it.

Anyway, I apologize if I ever offend anyone about this topic. I am not judging those who do drink or look down on them, I am just stating my opinion on this whole matter because I am fed up with people getting away with driving under influence because of people alerting their friends and family about this DUI checkpoint.
