Gangnam Style Party

I had this dream a while back and it's just super weird. Here goes:

I am in this place. It is white everything. White tile floors with parts of white carpet and all white walls and ceilings. The only pop of color are the escalators, which are black and gray, leading up to different floors in the building, but the floors look all the same. And then, a song starts to play.


My brother has been listening to this song lately. It's a parody of Gangnam Style called Minecraft Style because he is so obsessed with minecraft.  Somehow it made it into my dream. So suddenly, this song starts to play and the room gets filled. It's like a club now, flashing lights, loud music, people dancing. Not just people! There are anime characters and real people and celebrities as well as a whoooooooole bunch of pikachus which are doing some kind of mosh pit. People are sliding down the escalator railing and lots of minecraft characters like zombies and creepers dancing everywhere. It was like the ultimate awesome party.

False Eyelashes

I swear, ebay has everything I could possibly want for a cheap price. The whole site is full of shopping temptations. Many times, I can't resist. The only type of mail I ever get are packages from ebay through USPS. Only occasionally do I get a letter from a friend, then most other times is spam mail. Bleh! Anyway, I saw some really cheap sets of eyelashes at ebay.

Price: $0.99
Seller: igoodmart2011
These lashes looked so beautiful and thick on the internet and they looked so beautiful when they came. But they were made of the hardest plastic ever! They are so stiff and when you put them on, because they are so stiff, they don't really bend to the contour of the eye. I mean, if you happen to be the lucky person whose eye is perfect for the shape of these, lucky you. I was not that lucky person. Not to mention, they hurt. It was just painful to put them on and keep them on. Terrible, terrible buy. I kind of feel bad for wasting money but at least it was only 99 cents.


While the above product was coming, I decided to buy some bottom lashes from ebay. Oddly enough, these bottom lashes are more expensive than the search for top lashes. I thought that was really weird. So here is what I bought:

Price: $2.27
Seller: mission-hill
So these are my bottom lashes, but they were a little too long for me as bottom lashes so I decided to use them as top lashes. They work great as top lashes! They are very thin and soft, so it is a lot more comfortable to wear. They aren't overly thick though so I don't look like I have very full lashes but they are long and still look very nice. I might go ahead and trim them a little bit to use as bottom lashes. I don't really like long bottom lashes. But they are still really cheap for 10 pairs. I would definitely buy these again.






Here are some pictures of me with the eyelashes. The eye on the left has the eyelashes and some makeup and the right eye is simply a bare eye. They look quite nice, don't you think?

Tattoo tights- feather design

I have always loved how tattoos look. I have thought of getting one myself but I'm a wuss for pain and tattoos just sound very painful. Not to mention, it is permanent. I'm still young. I don't want to get something that I will regret in life later on. When I saw tattoo tights, I just had to have them.



Tattoo tights
color: skin color* feather
purchased from: ebay
seller: wugaonian
price: $3.59

For tattoo tights on ebay, the one that I bought is actually quite pricey compared to others. The reason for this is the cheaper ones are in Asian sizes, meaning they are probably way too small for me. This was the cheapest I could find that was in my size. And it fits perfectly!


LOL I'm short so it's not quite on my ankle. Oh well.

Hello Kitty Hat

I had been browsing online for a cute Hello Kitty beret but didn't find one I liked. I was looking for something to replace my lost grey Urban Outfitters beret with a black bow. I was so sad I lost that hat. That was my favorite hat. I honestly have no idea where it could have gone to. Mourning my beret loss, I went to look for a replacement. I did not want to buy another one because I paid about $30 for that beret and I didn't have the money to get another one, nor was I willing to spend so much money again for a single item. So I go look to where I always look: Ebay and Amazon.

I did see some nice ones but none of them had the cute white beret with red bow combination that I wanted. And the ones I found were quite pricey still. I just decided to create my own. So I bought a white beret and a red bow.


White Beret
Purchased from: ebay
Seller: 424729090
Price: $2.35 + free shipping

Red Satin Bow
Purchased from: ebay
Seller: emilygong1983
Price: $2.50 + free shipping

I was expecting the bow to be smaller, actually. I was pleasantly surprised about how large they were, in a good way.  It really made it worth my money to pay so much, in my opinion, for a single ribbon. It is an alligator clip type ribbon and I just put it through some of the holes in the knit to attach it.



So total purchase price for this hat is $4.85. Very cheap and it still looks good. It's worth it if you are willing to wait the 2-3 weeks it takes for the ebay items to arrive. If you have the patience, cheap things will be no problem to find.

Trapped and Insane

Another dream. There was a bit going on before the start of this but I can barely remember and the memories are a mess. It's confusing to put together. But dreams hardly make sense anyway. This dream was kind of a creepy one. 


I am in class, history class to be exact. For some reason, I had come late and missed a bit of the beginning part. I sit down and I take out a worksheet we have been filling out for the past few classes and we are now on the last page. I missed the first few questions because I was late. The next question we were filling out was something about the names of the ninja turtles. Someone kept telling me that the name of one of the ninja turtles was Lorenzo. I told her that it didn't seem right but she insisted that it was correct so I wrote it now (silly me, Lorenzo is not a ninja turtle).

So they go one with the lecture and eventually we have to turn in the paper. I tell my teacher that I didn't answer some of them because I was late. She says it's ok. She looks over my paper and I have scribbled notes all over it. The notes are extensive but messy. She still accepts it though. She tells me to write my name on the back of the paper. Instead of writing my first name, I write "Ego then hand it to her. She just laughs when she reads it and tells me to write my first name. I easily am able to change it to Megan then I turn it into her. So now, class is dismissed.

I have math class next. I walk through the hallways lined with lockers and I'm just so exhausted. I go to the cafeteria and get some food. Two small bags of vegetables and noodles (obviously this is a dream because I would never eat such a thing in real life). I walk over to an empty hallway and go into one of the rooms. It is the size of my bedroom now but it is completely empty. There are three other people in there.

Backstory, I'm in a mental institution. And this room is the living quarters I share with five other people. Incidentally enough, all of them are Asian. So I get there and my other three roommates are making lunch. They have a large pot of food and I brought the vegetables to share. So I sit down with them and start to eat. Another one of my roomies comes into the room to eat. I call him onii-san and apparently I have a slight crush on him.

So we eat and he asks "Shouldn't you be in class right now?"

Well, he's right. I'm technically supposed to be in math class right now. I reply that I'm skipping class because I'm so hungry and tired and also using this time to study for my Nursing Science Exam this afternoon. So here we are eating in this tiny room we share. At night, bars actually come down to block the door so we don't get out. It's an added measure from the last time we all tried to escape. Obviously, we didn't succeed.

However, we have another plan at escaping. I mean, we really hate this place. The staff are the crazy ones. I have been practicing my teleporting skills. However, I'm not able to do it very well just yet. I'm able to teleport from the room to the cafeteria, which isn't too far away. But I can only teleport myself and a few other people.

After we eat, onii-san and I go out to the front yard to get some air. Apparently he has had a long day too. We stand at the edge of the yard and a staff member comes passing with his golf cart saying "Don't you even dare try to escape!"

So we stand there looking at the outside that we try so desperately to get to. I could teleport us but then I'd be leaving people behind. Plus, I can't teleport very far. The staff has police all around the neighborhood we are in so I'd have to try to get past them to freedom. The sun sets and I'm so sad I'm trapped.

The End.

Benefit Cabana Glama


So I got this makeup palette for Christmas. To be honest, I did not know the brand benefit. I'm sure a lot of makeup gurus are shocked and laughing at me for saying such a thing. I really am not very knowledgeable about makeup at all. I barely use makeup at all.


I thought this makeup kit is super cute. It comes with a little lip gloss, three eye shadows with an eye shadow applicator, a brown powder with a small brush, and a little container of foundation. And it comes with a mirror. The box is super adorable.


So my family likes to tell me that I'm dark so they got me this makeup kit in "medium". Well the problem is I'm not medium and the foundation and powder are too dark for my skin. I guess I could use them for contouring. The foundation is not that thick and heavy, but the difference in color with my skin is pretty obvious. The lip gloss is pretty sheer with a hint of pink, even though it looks super pink in the bottle.


From top to bottom: peach fizz, bronze buzz, cocoa pizzazz. I absolutely love these colors. And they do nicely shimmer. I can definitely see myself using these colors very much in my makeup. They would be great for more neutral colored looks. I like more natural colors with my eyeshadow.

Well, my first Benefit product and I absolutely love it :)

Jerdon Lighted Makeup Mirror


Let me start with this: I have terrible eyesight. So I really need good lighting for me to be able to do my makeup. I usually do my makeup in the bathroom but nothing beats doing makeup with sunlight. The overhead bathroom lights cast shadows from my hair that make it hard to see my face. I'm so blind. So with my Christmas money, I really wanted to buy something to help with that.

I browsed Amazon and found this item for $14.99. It was the cheapest of all the ones I saw and the only one with a replaceable bulb. I wasn't sure how I would fix any of the other ones if the light stopped working. It was available for prime shipping (since I have Amazon prime and it's really great) and the extra light bulbs, which cost $6 for a pack of two, were available as add ons for prime shipping.



So I read reviews of this and a lot of the lower rated reviews say that this mirror isn't bright enough. I honestly have no idea what they are talking about! Turning it on was like putting the sun in my face. I was blinded. I swear, having my face near the mirror was tanning. The light from the bulbs emitted quite a bit of heat. I might take out two of the bulbs so it wouldn't feel so hot. But it is definitely bright enough.
