Today is my birthday! I have become “more legal,” if you get my drift. What am I doing on my special day? I am just going to hang out with friends and maybe play some video games. I have recently began playing Halo and Call of Duty. I must say, they are very fun, even though I keep getting killed so easily. My cousin is too good. He plays too often.

Being in a Chinese family, we celebrated my birthday earlier than usual because we have to have all our relatives together. So, we usually celebrate it earlier or later than my actual birthday because they are busy. This year, we celebrated my birthday on the 21st of November, coincidentally the age I was turning. I got a cake too, from a Chinese bakery:

Why, yes, it’s Winnie the Pooh and his friends. XD At first, I wanted Pokemon but they said they didn’t do the Pokemon design anymore.

For Thanksgiving, I went to my cousin’s house. There was so much food. I definitely ate my share of the turkey. My cousin even made a four-cheese macaroni. It was pretty good, even though I am not a fan of cheese. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the food. I was too hungry and just wanted something to eat.

The school quarter is almost over — just two more weeks. How scary. Soon, I will only have two more quarters at my university, then I will be kicked into the “real world”. But, before that, I have to do papers! I have one research paper that is 10-pages due on December 2nd. So far, I have 7 pages, but I kind of ran out of things to say. I have another research paper that is only 6-7 pages due on December 7th, so that seems a bit easier.

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend! =)

Hiya everyone,

I hope everyone is having a good week(end). I finished my midterms. Three midterms in one day is not easy. I cannot imagine if someone would have more. It would seem so impossible. I think I did okay, but I don’t want to boost my confidence, thinking I did fine but end up with a lousy grade.

During the week of Halloween, I managed to get free candy from my work. They had put out a plastic pumpkin plastic filled with various candies. One day I grabbed the basket and nitpicked through it to see what I wanted. My boss caught me, and said, “Jayme, what are you doing?” He came over and grabbed the pumpkin and began to pour out the candy. “This is how you do it,” and began to look through the candy. He even found an empty box to fill it up with the candy. XD

As I have mentioned before, I started tutoring with this program called, Asian American Tutorial Project. And, Halloween was on Saturday – which is when I go to tutor. The directors of the project urged everyone to dress up. So, I felt somewhat pressured, and have not dressed up for Halloween since 6th grade (even then it was reluctant). But, again,  I felt pressured and with time running out on getting/making a costume. I had to make do.

My roommate and I went shopping around and I saw this incredibly cute Mario hat. I just had to get it, even though I did not have blue overalls, a red shirt, or white gloves. But, at least, I would have something, right? So, I got the hat anyway, dressed up in all blue (no red shirt!) and white, put on the hat, and looked somewhat like Mario (if not, a very poorly made one, but still recognizable). My friend, at the tutoring place, cut out a fake mustache for me to wear too. So I put that on, and all the kids were staring, laughing, and wondering if it was real. There was actually another person who wore a Mario costume (with the overalls, red shirt, and a hat — my hat was better XD), but I think my fake mustache trumped his costume. (Note: this picture is also seen on my Poupee Girl)

Also, on November 5th, my (female — not the same one I was talking about earlier) boss told me about this makeup van that was promoting their makeup by giving away free makeovers. The van was called Clinique. I told my roommate about it and she wanted to check it out. I did too, since my boss got free samples. I do not wear makeup at all, but I like free stuff. It’s hard to say no to free stuff, especially if the free stuff is close to you. So, after work, my roommate and I went to the van and there was already a line. It wasn’t too big, but after us, it started to get big. The waiting took about 1-1 1/2 hours. The makeover process took about maybe 1/2 hour. I looked very weird and different. I do not think makeup is for me at all. Though, getting the makeover, made me felt like a supermodel. XD I got to be pampered for a while. We even got our hair done as part of the free makeover and a photo. Of course, I am not showing anyone the photo because I think I look too weird.

Alright, so I don’t have a new layout for this domain. However, I managed to make a layout for Yoite.org! I love it XD. I also created a Tumblr (don’t mind the username — all the ones I wanted were already taken). I thought I’d use Tumblr to just post up random pictures and whatnot. Feel free to link/follow me (I will do the same for you).

I think that’s it for today. I have been craving chili cheese fries. They are so good.
