Hello Atlanta

Where did my day go?

The airplane took off around 2:30pm

My flight was 4 hours long

when i arrived in Georgia it was 9:00pm

how does that happen you might ask?

time zone shifts suck when you are traveling east..

it's as if i my plane was a time machine and i fast forwarded through my day :P

traveling alone wasn't as bad as i thought it would be

it's kind of fun being alone and semi-lost :)

it's like an adventure!

luckily we had mini TVs on the back of the airplane seats

otherwise i don't know what i would have done during those hours

i had the pleasure of watching Spongebob and the foodnetwork to pass the time

and since i didn't get to eat lunch i bought a 'Flight Delight' box

it was super cuteee i should've taken a picture of it!

It was basically a box of snacks and it came with pita chips, hummus, dried apricots, a Toberlone bar, a mini deck of cards, almonds, and a Cliff bar. Yummy :9

blehh im too tired to write about the rest of my night.

just know we went to Vortex and had delicious monstrous burgers!

I think i found what i was looking for

Some people are searching for a job, some people are looking for a lover; their soulmate perhaps, and actually some people are even trying to find THEMSELVES. You know, trying to figure out what they were meant to do in their lifetime.. Me on the other hand, i have been in search of (drumroll please) the perfect chapstick. Yes you read it correctly, the perfect chapstick. Now before you read any further, i must warn you that this might be the most useless thing you will ever read. Unless of course, you are interested in a mini chapstick review 'cause after all, who in their right mind would want to waste their money on chapstick like i have :)

This all started when i went to Okinawa towards the end of May. I lost my $20 'Too Faced' lipgloss in the midst of travel and was in no mood to buy another one because 1.) it's twentyfreakindollars and 2.) it is way too hot in the summer for me to care about makeup&lipgloss. You see, I haven't used chapstick in years so i didn't know which one to get so i went with a stick of the oh so popular 'Burt's Bees Lip Balm.' I've always hated how minty lip products felt so i went for the pomegranate one. After a couple of weeks i found myself avoiding putting on chapstick because i hated how it smelled. So i made another trip to target and decided to try a stick of 'SoftLips' (you know the long skinny brand?). I remembered using it in elementary so i thought i'd give it another shot. I really liked how It was 1/4 the size of the other chapsticks, but after a week i noticed that ironically, it seemed to have the opposite effect of the brand's name itself.. I felt as if it made my lips more chapped! haha i didn't even know that was possible!! I let one of my friends try it and it had the same effect on them so it wasn't just me! So that was another fail.. Third time's a charm right? Next i tried 'Nivea: a kiss of Moisture'. Did you know Nivea made chapstick? Cause i sure didn't. Although it sort of had a glue-stick look to it, i absolutely loved the packaging. The cover/cap was royal blue and the simple white font against it just made me want to buy it. It smelled pretty good. It smelled like a really light white cherry icee. Unfortunately, i once again found something i didn't like about it. It felt too thick. I felt like i was using vaseline.. i never liked that thick gooey feeling. -sigh- I really wished i liked it. It was SO CLOSE TO PERFECTION! Pretty packaging, smelled nice, did not make my lips chapped -.- Then today, i found myself in the chapstick section at target once again for the 4th time. I didn't want to try 'Carmex' because the packaging always reminded me of car grease and pesticide, i was never interested in the regular 'ChapStick' brand because i didn't like how the original black labeled one smelled, so i decided to go for 'Blistex Silk&Shine'. I'm not even sure why i decided to give Blistex a shot because not only was the packaging not appealing at all but I've always associated that brand with people who had cold-sores (blistex sounds like blister which reminded me of cold-sores? idk) but the labels said nothing about cold-sore treatment so i decided to give it a shot. To my surprise i actually really like it. FINALLYYYY! It smells the best out of everything that i've tried so far, it goes on smoothly and moisturizes without leaving a sticky feeling PLUS it has SPF 15? haha :) i love it! The only thing i would change is the bland purple packaging buttttttttt i guess i could live with it. My search is finally over!

le tired

i'm running around with kids from 5-9pm this week

i'm pms-ing

Unusual spell of attractiveness

I was trying to find a good picture of Travis McCoy online but i couldn't find any so i just took a screen shot of the show..

Why did he look so good on 'It's on with Alexa Chung' today??

Summer Nights

I've always loved sunsets. Have you ever noticed how pretty sunsets are during the summer? I love it when the sky is a gradient from blue to orange. It's kind of sad to think that the intense orange comes from pollution in the air but how can you deny that it's beautiful? It's so nice to be outside at night during this time of the year. I love how i can be outside without feeling like i'm going to freeze to death in the darkness :P If only i could find a perfect spot to see the skyline as the sun goes down.. I feel like the only time i get a good glimpse of the sunset is when i'm driving down the freeway where there aren't any huge buildings blocking my view -.-

Things I am avoiding..

1. finishing character designs (game graphics in general)

2. painting/decorating john's skateboard

3. making a logo for aunt's restaurant

4. putting together the T-shirt design for VBS

5. cleaning my desk and drawers

procrastination always gets the best of me

how did i manage to score art projects over summer break too? -.-

Just a thought

I had a random surge of eagerness to change my hairstyle today. It has been about a year since i've felt this way (which was August when i decided to dye my hair brown). Anyways, since i've already changed my hair color, i guess the next thing to do would be to cut it.. YIKES! i've always been scared of cutting my hair differently because i cant do anything about it if i hate it, the only thing i could do is suffer for a couple months until it grows out.. Soooo i thought of trimming my bangs to have them go straight across instead of to the side, and then i thought of cutting my hair super short. -sigh- if only i was brave enough..
