My 22nd birthday~~! o(^_^)o (PART 1)



So this is obviously long overddue considering that my birthday was way back on June 19th lol, but my post about my birthday celebration is finally here! YAY

 

So on June 19th, 2012 I turned a beautiful 22 years old! I'm thankful to have lived for 22 years even though I still feel like I'm 16 sometimes lol xD





My lovely birthday started off with my sweet panda taking me down for an enjoyable day at the lakefront!
I decided to go for a sweet and summery look:
Top: Forever 21
Belt: Rainbow

Shorts: Target
Shoes: Yumetenbo
Purse: Discovery
Hat: Forever  21





My make was also gal and sweet! YAY:
Foundation:  Fashion Fair Fast Finish Foundation stick
Top + bottom lashes: Ebay
Lip color: Random color I found lol :p










My babe looking cute 



Probably the best picture we took!


The lake was absolutely beautiful that day...I loved it so much!:



It was the most perfect day at the lake that day, not too hot at all...I was really happy me and panda went there. ^_^
We climbed on the big rocks and took pictures and even enjoyed yummy lemonade together! I couldn't have asked for a better start to my birthday.





Later that evening I was treated to dinner at Ru-Yi asian restaurant inside of patowatomi casino.
This was my first time EVER going to a casino!!:




Inside the casino (sorry for the blurriness)


It was extremely hot that day, so I decided to do a change of apparel and do something more glamorous:
Hat: Target
Dress: Target
Shoes: Dots
Lace gloves: Claires
Lace choker: Burlington coat factory








I absolutely loved the interior inside the restaurant! Very festive and sexy  




I was also happy to find that they had bubble tea there!:
Panda had green tea flavor while I enjoyed strawberry of course!
bubble tea


My mom and sister also came along to celebrate:
Love my mom's facial expression, hahaha! 




I enjoyed yummy spring rolls for my appetizer and lo mein with a side of fried tofu for the main course :



Panda had some of the yummy lo mein as well! ヽ(;▽;)ノ
My mom had delicious bulgogi while my sister enjoyed yummy sweet and sour shrimp!




I also played the slot machine for the first time! I was honestly pretty hesitant to play it since I know how horribly those things rip people off, but I figured why not give it a shot?
I only played once because the machine took my dollar, which I didn't like at all. >_<
lol, the experience was still fun though! 



After my eventful night we all went back to my house where we all enjoyed some of my yummy strawberry birthday cake:


Man oh man was it good!!!



I had a pretty enjoyable birthday, it felt good to finally be 22 and spend it with the people I love the most.   

I decided to make this a two-part entry since everything that happened was kinda too long for one entry lol.

So get ready for part two coming up soon!!!

11 things about Yours Truly!:


1. My biggest (and worst) habit is biting the skin around my fingers when I am nervous. I've done it ever since I was a child! :c

2. I have big fascination with body modifications! Piercings, tattoos, ear stretches. etc. Most recently I've been interested in the look of dermal punches. I don't have a tattoo and no piercings besides two in each ear, but I'm really trying to muster up the courage to get something cute and small one day soon!

3. People are usually surprised to know that I like Tarantulas and snakes! But on the flip side, I hate small spiders. >.<

4. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 20 years old! Not because I never wanted to, but because no guys ever really noticed me in high school. I was a loner and really quite and derpy looking.:(

5. I like the smell of gasoline, sharpie, window cleaner, bleach, hair dye and hand sanitizer!! Pretty strange, but I can't help it for some reason. 

6. I love to drink fruity alcohol! Of course I always drink responsibly and have never gotten drunk, but I do like to have Alcohol occasionally and on special occasions.<3 My favorites are probably Mike's Hard Strawberry Lemonade, Seagrams Escapes Peach Fuzzy Navel and Strawberry Daiquiri, and anything by Smirnoff, though I do admit I am a bit of a light weight. After 2 full glasses of Arbor Mist, I'm ready to fall asleep! :p

7. I used to be a huuuuuugeee tomboy back in middle school and off an on during high school! I only wore hoodies, jeans, sneakers, average hairstyles and absolutely no make-up! I didn't start shifting my appearance until after I graduated, mainly because I finally had the confidence to wear what I thought other girls looked cute in. There was a girly girl in me just waiting to be unleashed! :3

8. I know that in my blog and probably on other sites I come off as a really vibrant and open person, but in actuality when it comes to meeting new people I am EXTREMELY shy!! I've been this way since forever, but I am slowly getting out of it, thankfully!

9. I used to play Violin when I was a child, and a few years back I learned to play my keyboard by ear! I was really good at it but as of now I haven't had enough practice so I'm probably super rusty. >.<

10. Fashion and cute things are not my only interests of course! I also love baking, reading, writing, taking pictures, decorating, learning different languages, and learning about different cultures as well. Lately another one of my hobbies has been dancing!

11. My interest in Hello Kitty has probably lasted longer than most things I'm interested in lol...I've actually been in love with Hello Kitty since I was 11 years old, which is roughly 11 or 12 years! I actually still have quite a few HK items that I've had since 2001 when I initially got them..I have a feeling this infatuation of mine will most likely last forever!

Girly, Stylish, loving, weird and smart-mouthed. haha! xD

4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Either a big city or somewhere that has a warm climate! I've always wanted to travel to places like Paris, Hawaii and Japan...and even though I have yet to visit, I LOVE California!

I'm a big fan of platform video games!! I also love games like God of War, Dragonball Z Tenkaichi and any other violent, gorey video games xDD Sadly I only have a Nintendo DS gaming system, but my favorite games are Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and anything Kirby or Sonic related. WINK
