i helped my mommy pick out her wedding dress today.
she just got married to ed, they are having a wedding party on june 27th at their home. i had the honor to help her pick out her dress.
it was fun and tiring. she tired on many many dresses. she wanted something simple and elegant since the party will be outdoors. the first few dresses she tried on are really pretty, but they have loooong trains. so we moved on to some more simple ones. in the end we were picking from 2 dresses. both strapless, one has really flow-ey back sashes, the other one is more elegant and has riffles on the back. in the end she picked the one with riffles. but she will be adding straps to it so its not strapless.
then we looked for jewelry and shoes.
she got a pair of red shoes to go with her other red dress that she will be wearing. pretty pretty.
a note on the invitation... dress code: causal
....
...casual? lol. well, aside from the incorrect spelling, why casual? she will be wearing a formal wedding gown but she wants everyone else to wear casual? ed says its because the wedding will be outdoors. but still, at least cocktail dresses? semi-formal? something? anything but casual?
oh well.
i am looking forward to the wedding party. ive been working on her wedding gift, but it is taking longer than expected... i am so happy for mommy. ed treats her well; she doesnt have anything to worry about. she is supported financially, and she has a nice house and yard. i hope she will always be happy like this.
お幸せに

graduated
i graduated.
as i was standing in line waiting for the procession, i felt like it was all a dream. like i can just open my eyes in the morning and its all just a dream. im still just a freshman in college, 4 years ahead of me. 4 blank years filled with possibilities.
no. this is not a dream. 4 years really past by already. they are no longer 4 blank years, but 4 years of history i have already written.
i wish i had another chance to do it all over again. i wish i could do more, do better. i want to wear all the different color cords and medals on graduation day. i want to have a secured path ahead of me. i want to have 4.0 GPA like so many people do. i have to graduate with honors. i want to know what the next step is. i want to know where i will be next year. but i can only open eyes. its not a dream. its reality.
so i guess there are regrets. but i cant go back, i can only move on.

PDA
PDA - public display of affection.
im comfortable with PDA, as long as its kept at a moderate level. things like holding hands, hugging, kissing, arms around shoulder/hip, and of the likes. i start to get uncomfortable when couples start making out hardcore and trying to induce vomit for each other with their tongues.
gross. get a room please.
but, lets take PDA to a whole new level why dont we? i cant believe this couple were in my room, laying on my bed, snuggling, whispering, giggling, with me in the room, sitting on my bed. this continued for well over 15 minutes.
gross, and honest, annoying.
come on, have some common decency and grow up. save that for when you are alone in your own room, on your own bed.
チョウ気持ち悪かった。それはお前たちに会いたくない理由だ。

words
life has its ups and downs, and words help us express such feelings.
with pleasant feelings and happy thoughts, its hard to go too far with words. you never hear people say to someone whos expressing how happy they are "wow you shouldnt say that, thats going too far".
negative expressions is what we need to watch out for.
everybody knows life can be a bitch sometimes, but even when we are at our lowest low, we should still watch out for how we express such anger, frustration, sadness, etc. i dont think we should ever say things like, "i hate her i wish she would just die" to anybody, no matter how much anger we are. also, we shouldnt be saying things like "i hate life, i hate everything, im tired of everything, this is all bullshit" when a few things isnt going right. sure, things could be tough at the moment, but is that really enough for you to say that your whole life is worth hating? everybody in this world has something in their life for them to cherish and be thankful for. to say that you are not happy with everything when you still have food in your tummy, shelter over your head, family and friends who care about you, is taking so, so much for granted.
words carry power. once its said, it cant be taken back. next time you want to express your negative feelings, think twice about what you say.

my miracle moisturizer
i have acne prone combination skin. super oily T-zone with super dry chin area.
i have tried a lot of different moisturizers, toners, lotions, and a handful of other stuff through out the years, and i came across this little jar a couple weeks ago.
it was a sample size on sale at CVS. i thought the packaging was cute and the price was reasonable, so i bought it even though im not exactly looking for a new moisturizer.
Lumene Vitamin C+ Radiant Day Cream
i didnt have any expectations for it since its just a random jar of cream i picked up at CVS. however, after the first night of using it, i was amazed! its light weight, not greasy at all, and has a very light citrus scent to it. my skin feels super smooth instantly :D
i was having acne problems, and i had super dry patches around my mouth at the time. the morning after i used lumene for the first time, i could feel and see my skin improving! :D its more balanced, its more calm, and it glows.
im super happy with this little surprise i picked up. but after a couple weeks of non-stop application, it does get a little oily through out the day. but its overall worth it. after i finish the sample i do plan on getting the full size, which is about $20 at CVS. pretty cheap compared to department store brands.
hopefully this will be a long-term love <3

last class of my undergraduate career
Ironically, my last class of my B.S. Biology, Cell and Molecular Option, ended with Reading in Modern Japanese II class.
I think it has yet to hit me that I am really done with classes until graduate school. I dont want to leave UT yet. It probably wont hit me until the end of summer, when everyone is talking about how much they dread, or look forward to going back to classes.
I would be a lot happier if i had a job offer right now.
これからも頑張ります。よろしくお願いします。
