movie plug

"A Tale of Two Sisters" by Kim Jee-Woon is a one messed up film. I think it was worth watching if you like movies messing with your head. It's like a mix of horror and thriller. I think you will see a similar genre in the 3rd upcoming sequel to "I Know What You Did Last Summer." It's also a touching film about how much a girl loves her sister.

*sigh*

Not again..

Bobby's new ride

Remember you saw me driving in that dark red SUV a while ago (in person or in picture)? Okay, that was Bobby's old ride, a Ford Escape SUV.

Guess what?!?! Now, he traded it in for a 4-door, autmatic transmission Mazda 3. Why? He got tired of screaming, "OMG!", everytime he looks at how much it cost to fill up a full tank in his old SUV. He fills it up approximately 2 to 3 times a week!

Good boy! It's a smart move to trade in that SUV for a Mazda 3!

Go, pimp!

christmas lights at Mesa Temple

Tonight, I went to the Temple Lights with my family.

I dunno.. It's not as elaborate as I thought it used to be. As I remember, there were more lights posted on the grounds and trees. Maybe the people who do this for a long time got tired of the hassle of taking down the lights. Heh!

Anyway, we're having hot chocolate and Krispy Kreme Donuts right now before we go home. Fun!

how to save in style (work in progress)

Lately, I have been looking around for new clothes. I threw away about 3/5th of my clothes when I moved to Arizona last January. It was great to downsize my wardrobe, but greatly limited my choices to dress up appropriately. My old pants are going to be converted to quilts. *hint-hint!*

With the styles and prices out there, I find Old Navy ideal. Last night, I have bought a belt, cargo shorts and a striped long sleeve shirt. I still have more to shop for: pants, work shirts, blazer and socks. I am in the mood to buy hats and 2 pairs of shoes.

If you want to save money, buy a t-shirt from Old Navy for 5 bucks. They'll give you a $10 off 50 bucks purchase coupon and a survey. Once you fill their survey out, you'll get a secret word and qualify for a 10% off discount. The $10 off coupon is good only for September.

What style would work for you? Well, you need to take into consideration: your skin tone and color, hair color and style, body shape, whether or not you wear eyeglasses, and your willingness to try different looks. You can get a new look and still be your true self. Dressing better does wonders for our personal self-esteem.

First, let's look at your skin tone and color. Avon used to have this test that will tell you what colors work for you. When I had my skin test, I found out my skin tone is warm. They have cool, lukewarm and other levels. Some places have color charts for comparison and contrast in appearance. Study how colors go well with your skin tone and color. I'll add links here since I am posting from my sidekick.

Second, your hair color and style can be changed, but not as often as you would do with clothes! Decide whether you want to keep the same color or highlight. If you do decide to color your hair, do not do from-the-bottle jobs! Too often, I see people have brassy, frizzy and dull hair because they messed up on their bottle jobs. If you get your hair colored at a professional place, they can fix any errors with your hair at no additional charges. You'll be happier with the results.

Take pictures of people's hairstyles that you like. Remember to follow the shape of your face and head because some styles won't work with some shapes. Clip pictures from magazines and make a page of hairstyles you like. When you make your decision, show it to your hairstylist and ask if he/she can do it. I never have high expectations whenever I go get a haircut, because I almost never get 100% what I wanted. Getting that cleaned-up look is more important.

guns.

I keep forgetting to post this picture I took during the summer.

This is a gun shop at 47th Ave and Peoria.

I think the people working there aren't responsible citizens of USA.

Why? They sold a gun to a guy. Right after he bought the gun, he went straight to a Walmart store and shot several people in the parking lot. The victims were either injured or killed. After this incident happened, all the Walmarts in the Valley set up a table at each location. Cards, pictures and donations were collected on the tables.

I remember it was a sad week.

hairy mofo!

This is why I have to shave, I don't have enough to cover my face. Curses to having fine hair!

CPC Computer Prompting and Captioning Co.

I found a homepage about captioning DVDs and movie clips! They have a version for Apple and PC. So, there's no excuse for the film makers to NOT do captioning! Here's the link: CPC Computer Prompting and Captioning Co.

Last night, I was walking across a parking lot at a store I went to. I noticed something on on someone else's car and realized it was a sticker! FAR OUT!

A sticker that makes it look like a baseball went through the glass!

rear-view captioning..

..is shitty! 10 minutes into the movie, "chronicles of narnia," got too much to handle. We all got sore eyes and headaches. We walked out and asked for a refund and demanded to see the open captioned one. The movie theater manager said they weren't sure if they'd get it open captioned or not.

Damn it, my eyes still HURT from trying to read the red letters in that rear-view captioned movie!!
