Current Mood: sleepy

Not entirely used to my new hair yet. Since I'm parting my hair the other way now, the weight on my head shifted. .^^;; That wasn't too bad though and I'm mostly used to it. The really weird thing is when I run my hand through my hair. There's like... NOTHING! X.DDD The guy thinned out my hair quite a bit. I was like... staring at my hair as the chick was sweeping it away. Still weird looking into a mirror.

My next task is to get a matching wardrobe.


Anyway, this was pretty sudden so some of you may be wondering what brought it about.

I've known for quite some time now that I needed to do something with my hair but my mom was so against chemicals that she forbid me to get a straight perm.

As I was dozing off on the couch at like 1:30AM at my cousins' house, my cousin's wife Vanna apparently started talking about how she wanted to do a makeover with me. I was like, half-awake/not listening so I didn't hear any of this except when she was saying "cute and sexy but not trashy." That's the only thing I heard in the conversation. Cousins were laughing at the remark which kinda woke me and then I heard Vanna say, "I wonder if she heard that" or something, so I just repeated "cute and sexy but not trashy." I didn't realize they were talking about ME and how Vanna wanted to make me look "cute and sexy but not trashy." LOL.

But yeah, since I wasn't against the idea, Vanna got really determined and said that we'd look for a salon in the morning. Vanna was on a mission, LoL. .^^;;

So the next morning, everyone came over for lunch and then afterwards I was snuck out to Shing's Hair Studio in the Lion Plaza. Was seated just 5 minutes after coming in and one of the guys got me started. He did my perm and Johnny, the owner, cut my hair. I have to say, I've never had my hair washed so many times in one day. X.D I was really sleepy because I'm not interested in gossip and those were pretty much the only types of magazines they had. Vanna had gone back to the house to pick up my cousins to go to the mall.

4.5 hours later, DONE! Johnny is... wow. He's a very nice guy and though he works fast, he's very efficient and knows what he's doing. He gives good advice and stuff too. Cousins were stunned when they came to pick me up. .^^;;

When we got back to the house, I had to be snuck into the house. Vanna bought me a new outfit and shoes. Not to mention she paid for my perm. Love her. .;__; She put makeup on me and then everyone was gathered in the living room. Everyone freaked as I came out and my mom didn't even recognize me, LoL. She buried her face on my dad's shoulder when she realized it was me, haha. TONS of pictures were taken. (After dinner too. .>__>;)

Was so tired by the end of the day.


Anyway, Mew's got a new look and is happy. I'm glad I didn't have to throw out my entire wardrobe to get it either, LoL.


Vanna was supposed to go back to SoCal today but decided to stay an extra day and soon we'll be back at my cousins' house for another dinner. This is the third family dinner in as many days. .^^; We have another one Christmas Eve too. Ahh... my family... Lots of manger-jouer.

I'll give the details later but basically after 4 and a half hours of sitting at the salon, I now have straight hair! Yay~

BEFORE:


( AFTER: )

Current Mood: rushed

for the pictures because I am DEAD tired.

But yes, I look... different. My mom didn't even recognize me at first! X.DDD

Work tomorrow so I'm gonna brush my teeth and then go to sleep. Won't be able to listen to DGS til probably tomorrow or Tuesday night. Actually I've listened to about a third of it.

Current Mood: sleepy

The last few days have been absolutely hectic but a lot of fun.

( The last few days... )

Okay, I really should leave for the career forum I signed up for today. I'm so tired from all the running around I've been doing that I don't even really want to go anymore but I really should go and look around. Then I can at least figure out if it's worth going to tomorrow. Maybe I can skip out and finally get the DGS games I still haven't picked up because I just haven't had time. ORZ.

Not likely to be posting much here or on twitter, so if anyone needs me, send an e-mail~ I'll try my best to get back to you ;_;

Tried to snipe but didn't win... Was trying to get the second Honey and Clover boxset. Waiting for Buy.com to put it up on eBay but they haven't yet. =.\ Their price plus Bing cashback makes them cheaper than DVD Pacific.


So, I didn't talk about football yesterday.

I was shocked to find out the Cowboys beat the undefeated Saints. So was my dad when I told him. ...Dude. X.D Like, I'm happy but at the same time kinda sad cuz the Saints are no longer undefeated and they're more likely to get somewhere than the Cowboys. .^^;; If the Cowboys don't make something out of this, I'm going to be disappointed.

My cousin Jenny's husband, whom I met for the first time (was in Japan at the time of their wedding) yesterday, is a Cowboys fan. X.D I got a high five from him, LoL.


Anyway, as I wrote yesterday (well, earlier today), today is makeover day for me. I'll post pictures when I get the chance.

Back to sleep for me.


EDIT: LoL, okay, Hatano is adorable. X.D He went to the Kamen Rider W special event at C.C. Lemon Hall. Apparently he did a voice for an original character that appears.

Have I mentioned how much I love him? X.D

Current Mood: sleepy

The plan is that I will be kidnapped for a makeover (straight perm and perhaps shopping if we can squeeze it in) to surprise my parents.

...Yeah.

G'night.

Current Mood: sleepy

Today's mewsings:

• 00:40 Okay, done with Hatano's letter. I feel kinda bad for using stationery I've used before though. .^^;;; #
• 10:39 Oh ha, pictures from Mirakki san's (AniCen kousei sakka) wedding reception. X.D tinyurl.com/yadjs47 #

Finished 00 Raiser. Yay~
Video on YouTube and photos on Flickr.

Ugh, Christmas is getting less enjoyable. I feel like we're obligated to buy presents rather than buying because we want to. I would rather receive nothing and give nothing. .^^;; There's nothing I really need anyway. "Had" to go buy my 5 cousins each a $25 iTunes gift card. They'll arrive before Christmas Eve, which is when we're doing the present exchange.

Will be sleeping over at my cousins' house tonight. Actually feeling lazy and don't really want to but cousins from out of town will be there too, so ya. Can't be the party crasher.


I think this every time I heard it but man, my diary is a really good song!!
