Excuse the sentiments….

But I am so very excited to finally marry the love of my life, best friend, and partner in all crimes I commit. In less than 99 days I will FINALLY become his wife and he–my husband.

At the end of it all, it will be me and him. I AM SO RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED.

HOME AT NIGHT, IN SF, BY CHOICE…

I try to stay at home because when ever I go outside I have a tendency to spend money. Even when its $4, it seems to add up, and at the moment I’m just trying to shelter myself from material spending. I’m not saying I’m weak, its just difficult. I really think I am going to have to man-up and get a job at Starbucks or Office Depot soon. The job search is not so hot these days, as anyone will tell you, but it has taken a deep nosedive lately.

Anyways… so I have found that staying at home really does nothing for me and I find something new everyday that I am waiting to buy, damn internet. I have a long list of things I will buy once I get disposable income, or any income for that matter.

Confession:

I get jealous when people talk about their jobs, love it or hate it. I am whole heartedly jealous. I get jealous when I’m in the financial district and everyone is dressed business-casual. I get jealous at the thought of people getting up in the morning with a purpose. Sometimes I just feel like a blob.

Its pretty pathetic. Its a sad state, and I am in it.

Ohh geez. I am a loser.

The best song–in the whole wide world–at this moment.

A dj played this song at Otis Lounge one night and some random girls screamed, I had no idea what it was at the time, but they were so right.

I swear I think HappySlip and I have the same mother….

OMG.

Once in a while I really crave things from Sacramento and ONLY Sacramento, I’ve searched and found some of the best foods there.

I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO EAT HERE, RIGHT NOW:

Cape Cod Fish & Chips

By the way… the only way I have that much MAC is because I buy it when I need makeup done for an event. The only reason I know how to apply false lashes is because a gay man at the Fillmore store showed me how, after I spent $160+ dollars on product (when I had a job… wah… wah… wah…). The only reason I know how to apply makeup is because of MAC MUA’s (make-up artists). If I am going to buy $14 eyeshadow, or $18 blush, those hustlers better show me how to use it. I fully confess that I am a tomboy who just learned how to be a woman, honest to GOD.

Speaking of me being a tomboy and segwaying this blog to my latest anecdote about my mom… Ok so we all remember my mom right? She is the best mom in the world, best mom. HOWEVER, I DID NOT LEARN ANYTHING WOMANLY FROM HER, not how to wear heels, not how to put on make-up, not how to cook, nada…. She taught me love and how family is the most important things you can have. Its wonderful, I’m thankful, so thankful she is my mom, but yes, she did not help me transition to becoming a woman.

Here is what happened this past weekend, scenario: I wander into my parent’s bedroom/bathroom to get something I left. I notice a small blue box marked “Davidoff Coolwater.”

K8: Mom, did you buy this?
Mom: (Seriously half asleep and cranky cause she is trying to fall asleep) Yes, thats mine.
K8: (Opens box, pulls out cologne and smells cap) UGHHHH…. This is mens…
Mom: (Freaking out and cussing up a mean Tagalog storm about the lady who sold her the cologne telling her it was a women’s bottle.)
K8: (Worried I might be wrong, hesitated a bit) Uhhhh, wait, maybe its not mens. (Walks back to my old room where I still kept my old highschool bottles of CoolWater. Its definitely confirmed, SHE BOUGHT A MENS BOTTLE. Walks back to my parents room and shows the packaging and bottle to my Dad, who also sniffs the cap.) She bought mens…..

Dad: Yeah Cora, this is for men.
Mom: (Cussing up a mean storm in Tagalog about the stupid idiot lady that sold her men’s cologne and desperately trying to fall asleep at the same time.)

OHH MOM, I heart her so much. I forgot, she did teach me that as a woman you can never have too many handbags, I give her that!

Spring cleaning, spring spending….

So after watching nothing but people talking about makeup on Youtube for two days straight I decided I needed to consolidate my (very humble) MAC collection. So I ran out yesterday and today for three palettes total. Its kind of sad seeing what used to be multiple pots of shadows condensed to one case (that isn’t even fully complete). BUT hey, two of those were free because of the “Back 2 MAC” recycling program, actually after this whole process, I will have 5 free items. FREE MAC? Who in their right mind would not appreciate a free pot of eyeshadow that costs $14? I guess thats what you get after investing in palettes =)

What a boring and girly blog. I am sorry. So let me just yell “PENIS” really loud, in the style of Rob Martin, when no one is expecting it, and the room is dead quiet. No one expects the petite Filipino girl to yell “PENIS” so picture me, yelling “PENIS” at the most inappropriate situation.

I have been watching beauty & makeup youtube videos for the past two days. I currently have a “must-buy-list” a dozen items long.

This is dangerous.

I promise not to leave so long…

Loverboy got new glasses. Older generations call him “Steve Urkel” cause they don’t know any better, but honestly I think he looks like this:

He looks like Raphie from “A Christmas Story” and it makes me want to give him extra love.

HI. My name is Kate. =)

I have hastily figured out that the following things define me: JTanhueco, plaid, baked goods, ruffles (oddly enough, mixed in with the plaid), ruffles in general, high heeled shoes I do not wear but day dream about wearing to the perfect occassion, eyeglasses (because I am lazy and that means I don’t have to wear eye makeup), ridiculous rules such as if I wear contacts I have to wear eye makeup, immature humor (much like the humor of a prepubescent boy and not a 25 year old woman), food in general, elliptical machines (I will never get bored of the elliptical machine), love & wonderful support that my family has shown me, and good chocolate.

That is me. Right now.
