New Domain

I am wanting to create my own domain again. :)
This time I want a domain where I focus on beauty & skin care, tidbits on nutrition, and arts & crafts.
I also want to create my own youtube channel and create tutorial videos for crafts with polymer clay and skin care. Hehe.
What do you ladies think? [assuming all my tiny visitors are female]
I don’t know if I am really up to it though. I am really tempted to. ^__^

Just a few days ago I searched for possible domain names and uh…there all taken. T___T
I was looking for words green, life, natural, and beauty. Greenislife, greenisbeauty, greenbelle, naturellebelle, naturebelle…and ecetera ecetera, all taken. And most of these names, there just “parked.” There is no website or actual purpose for these domain names! Ugh. But I suppose that is a smart move. Park it early just in case they need to use it. I assume godaddy.com makes a lot of money like that hm? :)

Oh, and if someone is interested in watching some fun Korean drama, I recommend “Shining Inheritance” and “You’re Beautiful.”

I love Ituana’s version of this song!
I have heard other versions of this song where the woman sings it with a “he,” like as if telling a story about a man besotted with a woman, but in Ituana’s case, it looks like its a female and female attraction. Lol, who cares, I still like the melody. It is more soothing and relaxing!! I want it! …Does someone have it? >__>

Ituana’s Don’t Cry is also very good.

Doesn’t the photo of the video looks beautiful? It really fits the video. Love it.
I am so conflicted. I remember the 100+ degree heat wave, here in seattle area this year, and I absolutely hated it especially since I had to drive so much this Summer because of school…but now in this cold weather….

I’m not dead.

Hello Everyone~!
Hm, I don’t know why I can never keep up blogging.
And I can never understand why I need to blog. Hm, weird. :)
I probably have a short attention span with blogging, I get bored, then after awhile I get interested again. ^__^

I am not really busy. Just school and work, and sometimes both, and by Sunday I am exhausted from the accumulation of lack of sleep because of my failure to sleep early. Fully knowing that I would have to get up early in the morning I sleep late, as it is my damn bad habit. And those wasted time is spent on viewing movies and Korean dramas! Mmm, I am a well accomplished procrastinator. :]

I will try and post an entry on general daily skin care routines for those of you who want to have better looking skin!

Here is a photo of my room mate, my little sister, and me.

Here we were at Palisade eating expensive food bought by my boss.

Cardio #2

Today I attended my second official cardio kick box class. The class went on longer this time, like an hour and 10 minutes. I was dying but I hung on. I was sweating like crazy and my face was all red! How embarrassing. I looked like I was going to faint any minute. I was the reddest in there! – -’

…kickboxing is so cool. :)

I STILL can’t believe how much fat I still have, especially around my stomach area. We do a lot of jumping in kickbox class, and I have my abs firmed up, but I can still feel my stomach fat jiggle. Good god, being skinny or looking slim does not mean anything. Being fit and firm is all that matters. Or rather being fit and healthy. You can’t be healthy without exercise. And that is a fact. Might as well get used to it… More cardio classes here I come! [Because I dislike running at the moment.]

I ordered a bunch of books on amazon. I am suppose to get them next week Friday, a long wait but worth the wait I suppose. Can’t beat amazon prices. ^^

Tomorrow is the day I go shopping! In the morning I am going to attend a yoga class, than clean my car with my sister, and then go to Bellevue Square.

I’m looking around for bikes. A more road/recreational bike where I can commute [to the grocery] and just “tour” around a nearby neighborhood that has lots of trees and hidden trails.

Least expensive helmet at REI, not bad! ($35.00):

Cannondale Quick Feminine 4 Women’s Bike – 2009 ($599.00):

GT Transeo 4.0 Step Through Women’s Bike – 2009 ($449.00):

I just don’t know. But I can’t buy it right now. Not until next month’s paycheck.. What do you think?

Cardio+Diet+School

Doing cardio workout after like three years of sedentary lifestyle is just exhausting. Two days ago I did a cardio jam at my gym, I died in 20 minutes. Actually I had a growing stomach pain that made me feel like I was going to faint. So I was smart and stopped, :) and went home. I ate a huge dinner like 20 minutes before workout. I have learned my lesson. Now I know why they say not to exercise right after you eat. I ate a really spicy jalapeno at dinner as well, and my stomach felt like it was on fire during the workout. I guess my increased blood circulation and the stimulant affect of the jalapeno made my stomach burn and made me feel lightheaded. Jalapeno are not that good on your diet as well…but I just love to torture myself and eat a spicy jalapeno that burns my mouth and stomach….bad…bad… – -’

Today in the morning, with a semi empty stomach [it seems that last night dinner was still in my stomach...] I went to the gym to try out a kickbox cardio. I lasted whole 30 minutes before I started just flailing my arms and legs around, haha. But I kept on trying even though I was soooo tired and exhausted. I am proud of myself. :) The class was actually fun. I like it better than running. All the jumping and moving around made me realize how much body fat I still have. It jiggles no matter how hard I tried to “firm” my body during the workout. Especially my butt. Damn it. I’m skinny, but I have still have too much access fat for my body type.

Tomorrow I tend to take the yoga class in the morning to stretch out all the sore muscles that will probably be apparent by tomorrow.

As for my diet, even though I said I am going to stick to a 80/10/10 diet, I am going to start slowly. I increased my level of fruits and vegetables. That is my first step. So for breakfast and lunch I eat fruits only, and for dinner I eat a pound of lettuce [I can easily eat a pound of lettuce now, amazing!] with rice with kimchi and pepper paste. So I have not rid myself of all condiments but it’s a work in progress! Positive thinking.

I want to thank all those who gave me their opinions on the shoe. I bought the shiny and sleek shoes for quality and durability. I actually was impatient and bought before all of the other comments started coming. LOL. :)
I am glad some of you chose the shiny and sleek. All those who liked the cute and simple was starting to make me feel bad about my purchase. XD

Not your fault though. Thank you. ^^ I can’t wait until next week! I scheduled a free student complimentary service for a Naturopathic European Facial at Euro on Monday. I am extremely curious how the “students” perform services. I will be silently taking notes and critiquing during this facial so I can provide the best facial service in the future. So its not just about relaxation for me.

So before next week, I got to work out hard! Get in shape! And stabilize my weight. Because I need to buy clothes on this coming Sunday, I want to be in the best shape so that the clothes I choose will not be too big or too small. These clothes will be expensive so I don’t want to get frustrated later on. I am at 112 lbs. My height is 5′2, so my ideal weight I consider to be 110 lb. Anything lower I will start looking like a old lady with sunken eyeballs. Instead of the desirable places to lose weight, my eyes start losing its fat, and makes my eyes look sunk. I have very delicate eye skin. – -’

I feel so elated, motivated, and excited! I think this is a after affect from my cardio excercise. :)

Oh and uh….I just got my school grades. Pre-Calculus II and Abnormal Psychology. 4.0 X 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I will admit, these classes were easy even though I struggled as well. :)
OR, for once, I STUDIED. And it really does make a big difference. FIGHTING!

Shoes

I ended my cleanse one day short. So today was suppose to be my 10th day, but I ended it last night.
So I drank my Orange Juice this morning! No more salt flush, no more senna tea, no more cayenne pepper, no more maple syrup! Yes! The more I read the 80/10/10RV book, the more I wanted to end the cleanse. So last night I bought two honeydew melon to ripe and bananas. I can’t wait!

So I need your help. I need to wear professional all black and white clothes and shoes for Euro Institute. I need to buy a flat rubber soled black shoes and I wanted to get those ballerina flats. I have some money left over on zappos so I am planning to buy the shoes on zappos. But I can’t choose which one! So not considering the price and from the first three rows of shoes, which one looks best?

Zappos Dress Flat Collection

I was considering between these three:

Cute and Simple:

or

Shiny and Sleek…but I don’t know, doesn’t this one look too old lady kind of shoes??

or

UGG Flats…

There is another Geox shoes that is simple and cute, but they don’t have my size, so that is not on my list.
So which would you pick?
