2013 10 22 MY TRIP TO HONG KONG WITH UNITED AIRLINES AND BEING ENTERTAINED

FINALLY!  AFTER 2.5 HOURS ENJOYING MY DELICIOUS SMASHBURGER BURGER AT THE NEWARK AIRPORT,  IT WAS TIME TO FACE THE 15 PLUS HOURS OF JAIL TIME ON THE PLANE.  BUT NOT TO WORRY, I WAS ENTERTAINED.

THIS WAS THE PLANE THAT WAS STARING BACK AT ME WHILE WE WERE ABOUT TO BOARD.




GUESS I HAVEN'T BEEN FLYING LATELY.  INSTEAD OF BOARDING BY ROWS THESE DAYS, THERE ARE LINES SORTED BY SECTIONS OR GROUP NUMBERS.

I FIND THIS TO BE A BETTER SYSTEM.  WHY HAVE THEY NOT THOUGHT OF THIS EARLIER?  BUT EVEN WITH THIS, I LOOK UP WHILE STANDING IN MY GROUP 3 AND SEE THAT STAFF IS HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE ORGANIZED MESS.  (SECRETLY LOL'ING INSIDE). #PALMTOFACE #OY


IT LOOKED A BIT DRIZZLY OUT THERE.







WITH 15 PLUS HOURS TO LOOK FORWARD TO,  I HAD TO KEEP MYSELF OCCUPIED.  BUT HOW CAN YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON WHEN THERE ARE PICTURES TO BE TAKEN, INTERRUPTIONS WITH THE FOOD SCHEDULE, AND WHILE ANTICIPATION IS BOILING !  

GOOD TO HAVE GADGETS TO PLAY WITH.


THE SMART THING TO DO WOULD BE TO CATCH SOME Z's, WITH THE LACK OF REST FROM PREVIOUS NIGHTS (DUE TO LAST MINUTE PACKING).  BUT INSTEAD.....

LETS PLAY WITH SHOOTING VIDEOS ON MY CAMERA!


BLOCKING THE MENTALITY OF DOING JAIL TIME ON THE PLANE RIDE, I JUST HAD TO KEEP MYSELF ENTERTAINED.  FOUND SOME KPOP TO LISTEN TO.  THANK GOODNESS EXO WAS AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO.  I THINK THIS WAS THE ONLY BOY BAND LISTED.  




WOLF WAS THE FIRST ON THE LIST, IT WAS MY FAVORITE AND SO BAD ASS SOOTHING THAT I DECIDED TO BLAST IT FULL VOLUME AND STARE OUT THE WINDOW.  AND OF COURSE IT IS PRODUCED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE KPOP ENTERTAINMENT GROUP.


(SHARING THIS YOUTUBE MUSIC VIDEO ON HERE TO. SHARING THEIR VIDEO ON HERE TO SHOW HOW BAD ASS THIS SONG IS FOR ALL THE NON KPOP PEEPS).




OK, I'M OBSESSED, HERE IS THEIR LIVE ON STAGE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLE VERSION.  DANG, I FORGET THAT SM ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCES LARGE MEMBER GROUPS IN THEIR FAMILY!





WINE/BOOZE ARE PART OF YOUR DRINK OPTIONS DURING INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS WITH UNITED AIR.  IT WAS NOT THE CASE DURING MY 2008 TRIP TO CHINA WITH NORTHWEST AIRLINES.  AFRAID TO BE BORED OR CAN'T FALL ASLEEP ON THE FLIGHT?  I HAD A MIXED OJ AND WHITE WINE ALONG WITH SNACK.






I DID FALL ASLEEP, BUT WOKE UP AS SOON AS THE FIRST ROUND OF FLIGHT FOOD CAME AROUND (IN WHICH I'LL CONSOLIDATE ON ANOTHER POST).

AFTERWARDS, IT WAS TIME TO ROAM AROUND.

WHERE ELSE BUT IN THE BATHROOM!





















SHALL WE CALL THE ATTENDANT IF YOU ARE OUT OF TOILET PAPER?

LOVELY VIEW OF SCREENS LIT AS I WALK BACK TOWARDS MY SEAT!
PERHAPS A SECRET LETTER ONLY TO BE READ IN PRIVATE?

2013 06 19 ORLANDO KOREAN GROCERY STORE WOO SUNG FOOD MART

Woo Sung Oriental Food Mart
5079 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32810
(407) 295-4077

KOREAN GROCERY STORE IN ORLANDO!  I'M SURE THERE ARE A FAIR AMOUNT HERE BUT  I MADE IT AN AGENDA TO DROP BY THIS ONE AND EXPLORE!  I'VE ALWAYS PASSED BY THIS GOING TO CREW PRACTICE ON LEE ROAD BUT NEVER MADE ANY ATTEMPTS TO GO IN.  IT IS RANDOMLY PLACED IN THIS BARE SHOPPING CENTER, SO IT HAS NEVER REALLY BEEN ENTICING TO DRIVE INTO. BUT RECENTLY THE INCREASE IN CURIOSITY WITH THE KOREAN CULTURE HAS MADE ME EXPLORE.

5079 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32810

OFF EXPLORING I GO !

COLORFUL, NEAT, SETTINGS.  THEIR PRODUCT PLACEMENT IS QUITE UNUSUAL.

DID NOT GET MUCH. BUT SNACKS ARE DEFINITELY NEEDED FOR THE ROAD. CHOMP!  IT TASTED LIKE AN OTHER SHRIMP CHIP, BUT ON THE THICKER SIDE.

2013 03 31 KPOP INSPIRED GLITTER EYE MAKE UP

THANKS TO KW, I HAVE INVESTED ENERGY TO KPOP. KOREAN POP MUSIC THAT IS.......  I HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN EXPOSED TO THE KOREAN ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.  ONLY IN THE BACK OF MY MIND KNOW THAT THERE IS A HUGE POPULATION OF KOREAN AMERICAN DANCERS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.  

DOING RANDOM SEARCHES ON YOUTUBE LEAD TO MY CURRENT FAVORITE KPOP GROUP, GIRL GENERATION AKA SNSD.  THEIR GLITTERY EYE MAKEUP IN THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS IS EYE CATCHING.  HECK,YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE EYE GLITTER IN THEIR CONCERTS FROM MILES AWAY. I LIKE HOW THE LOOK IS A SETTLE AND NATURAL SPARKLE GLITTER.  NOTHING OVER THE TOP BUT YET A SETTLE ENTICING GLIMMER. EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN HERE ARE ALWAYS ON EYE LIDS.



FROM OTHER SITES

AND NOW I'M HOOKED.  IT ONLY TOOK ME A FEW GLANCES TO BECOME OBSESSED WITH FINDING MAKE UP THAT CAN PRODUCE THE SAME LOOK.  I DON'T WEAR MAKE UP AT ALL BUT HAVE MY COLLECTION OF ITEMS OVER THE YEARS JUST TO PLAY WITH FROM TIME TO TIME. I DON'T NORMALLY USE IT HENCE HAD NO CLUE WHERE TO LOOK.  


THROUGH OTHER BLOGS AND YOUTUBE I FOUND SOME NOTING THAT LIQUID GLITTER EYELINER WORKS.  THERE WAS ONE SITE THAT POINTED OUT THAT YOU CAN RE-CREATE THIS LOOK BY USING URBAN DECAY'S 24/7 COLOR CALLED EL DORADO.  IT WAS A BIG WHOPPING $18 FOR THIS LIQUID LINER.   I FOUND A SITE THAT GAVE THE PERFECT SAMPLE COLOR PALETTE ON SKIN(WWW.TEMPTALIA.COM). 


WITH THIS INFORMATION.  I WAS ON THE HUNT FOR GOLD SHIMMER!  ULTA WAS NEARBY AND UPON EXPLORING, I ALSO FOUND SIMILAR PRODUCT WITH THE NYX BRAND!  I WAS STOKED BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSE TO ONLY $5.  INITIALLY I PURCHASED 2 FROM NYX (CRYSTAL GOLD AND CRYSTAL SILK).  ALTHOUGH I DID NOT BUY THE ONE FROM URBAN DECAY, I DID SAMPLE SOME ON MY HAND AND NOTICE THAT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, URBAN DECAY LASTS LONGER.  IT LASTED A FEW DAYS WITHOUT ME SCRUBBING IT OFF WITH A BRILLO PAD.  AND THE NYX ONE PEELED OFF WITHIN THE SAME DAY.  IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SHEDDING A STRIP OF GLITTER OFF MY SKIN.  





THE ONE FROM URBAN DECAY LAST LONGER.  IT SHOULD, IF THE RETAIL PRICE IS AROUND $18.  IT COVERS THE SKIN WELL, LEAVING NO EMPTY SPOTS REVEALING THE SKIN.  I THINK OF IT AS MORE OF A METALLIC SHIMMER.


THE ONE BY NYX HAS LARGER GLITTERS AND COVERS LESS AREAS OF THE SKIN WHEN APPLIED.  IT ALSO DOES NOT LAST THROUGH OUT THE DAY.AND THE THICKER APPLICATIONS CAUSES IT TO PEEL/SHED.  BEING THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BOUGHT THE NYX ONE DUE TO THE PRICE, I ACTUALLY APPLIED IT UNDER MY EYE AREAS AND THE GLITTERS EASILY GOT IN MY EYES.  IT STINGS!   I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE EYELINER.  DID NOT PUT ANY ON MY EYE LIDS.  I FOUND THE BEST WAY TO APPLY IS TO HOLD THE BRUSH PARALLEL UNDER YOUR EYES AND LIGHTLY STAMP THE GLITTERS INSTEAD OF SWEEPING THE IT ACROSS YOUR SKIN.  THIS WAY, IT GIVES A CONSISTENT DEFINED SPOT OF SHIMMER INSTEAD OF HAVING THE GLITTER SPREAD OUT ACROSS YOUR SKIN.


A FEW ROUNDS OF VISITS TO ULTA WAS NECESSARY SINCE THEY WERE HAVING A 40% OFF NYX PROMOTION UNTIL 4/19/13!  WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT THERE WAS A SALE GOING ON DURING MY OBSESSIVE GOLD GLITTER HUNT!  IT WAS ALMOST LIKE GOLD SHIMMER WAS CALLING FOR MY PURCHASE WITH AN ENTICING SALE!






UPON WANDERING TARGET ONE DAY, I ALSO FOUND GLITTER EYELINER FROM ELF FOR ONLY $1.  IT DIDN'T HURT TO SPARE A DOLLAR TO THROW IN MY GOLD GLITTER COLLECTION.  THE LIQUID EYELINER FROM ELF HAS LARGER GLITTERS AND THE COLOR IS MORE OF A DARKER GOLD COMPARED WITH THE NYX THAT I BOUGHT.  THE BRUSH IS LARGER AS WELL, BUT THE COMBINATION OF THICKER BRUSH AND THICKER GLITTER AND GEL CAUSES IT TO BE A LITTLE SLOPPY WHEN APPLYING. (BUT.....I STILL LIKE THE PRICE).  OVERALL, THE ELF PRODUCTS ARE ON THE LOWER END OF THE SCALE.
