I GOT ROBBED

So many stories I've heard about people getting robbed at WalMart and too many times my sisters, families and friends told me not to visit WalMart late at night since it is dangerous.

I've never thought it would happen to me.

It all happen so fast. I think the robber is in a hurry as well. I've just finished picking up my L'oreal Millionist your lash mascara at Walmart in Stafford. Prior leaving, at the front door of my Walmart, I play my favorite TaeYang song on my iphone 4. Walked towards my car that parked about 3rd aisle from front door, got into my car, placed my bag on the passenger seat as usual and when I turned around to close my door, a guy stand in front of my car door and pointed a gun at me. First I didn't see the gun, I thought it might be a homeless guy asking for change due to the economy.

But a second later I realized there's a gun in my head. I wasn't as scared as I would imagined. Maybe because I have a feeling that the gun might be fake. For one second I thought of fighting back and dare him to make a shoot. Eventually, I didn't take the chance.

The robber, in dark navy blue hoody, has the hood over his head, he do not have mask on, but it is too dark and too fast for me to even recognize his nationality.
He said as he stands in front of my car:"Give me your bag."
(I look in his direction and saw a gun in my face, thought about fighting back but I didn't, I froze for a moment)
He said again:"Give me your bag or I will shoot you."
(So, after debating to myself that it's not worth it, I gave him my bag)
He said:"Get down or I will shoot you, give me your keys as well, and get down!"
(So I got down towards the passenger seat)
Robber:"Don't get up or I will shoot you, I will shoot you."

(about 3 seconds after he left, I got up, open my door)
WTF, he touches my car, when a police officer asked if he grabbed the door of my car I said I don't know and they didn't think he did since he came right to me when my car is still open and now that I think back, he actually did closed my car door and ran away.

(Back to the story, I opened my car door, turned back to check if he is still there. He was running towards the right direction from coming out of Walmart front door over the food center section. I can roughly recall that he is in shorts and sport shoes, and dark navy hoody, however I am not 100% sure)

(So, employee at Walmart named Angie called the police for me and the police came in less than 5 minutes, which is pretty impressive. The worker at Walmart gave me a form to fill in as what has happened; Police asked me a bunch of questions and took my contact number and I called my brother-in-law to pick me up, shamelessly)

(The Walmart worker, my brother-in-law and the police all told me the same thing that is not worth it to fight back when in a robbery, since the most valuable thing you have is your life, as I calmed down, I thought that is so true. But I feel so sorry that I've got my house and car keys stolen, I feel sorry that I have put my family's safety at risk, I will definitely learned in future.)

God, if you are real and if you heard this, please just make all the bad guy such as murderer, murderer-to-be, robber, robber-to-be disappear, got run over by MACK truck or something... Thanks)

The robber took: My bag with
1. wallet
2. $5 cash
3. Iphone 4
4. 2 major credit cards
5. Sephora gift card
6. Old Navy card
7. Driver license
5. Check book
6. HardDrive
7. Pre-approve car loan letter
8. Makeup bag ( MY PRECIOUS!!!!)
9. Miscellaneous items such as Always-pad...

As I got home and starting to one by one cancel my credit cards. I've already seen payment posted. The first thing that the robber do is to buy food from Whataburger... I'm like seriously? He must be super hungry or super frustrated since all the cash I have in my purse is less than $5... Bad target for the night for him... After the food purchases, he bought charged something from ExxonMobil Gas station, trying to get cash advance from capital one account an got denied, and I bet he is as pissed as me right now for picking the wrong target...

Stupid him for did not ask me for my pin number. Not that I would give him a real one, but is true that he has no choice but to rob people are simply stupid. I mean, for god sake if you are really hungry, try to maybe getting a job? Or go back to your home country if this country is not working out for you? Try to, I don't know, do a lap dance or sell your body for money? That might work better than robbing someone... Seriously.. Use what you have, as in your body to survive instead of hurting someone....

I truly wish... He/ them got run over by a MACK truck...

UPS Truck

I have a love hate relationship with UPS company. They bring me joy but at the same time their shipping cost an arm and leg. I remembered last time I tried to mail couple pieces of A4 size paper to Malaysia, man... the shipping cost is unbelievably HIGH, like a student on weed; like the air plane in the sky; like a junkie after shot... I'm not kidding...

It cost approximately $131.00 to mail couple pieces of A4 size papers.

Seriously UPS? Seriously you think you are going to get any business off me?

On the other hand, the UPS man that run the delivery route of my office is so cute :D I could stare at him day and night. He has the cutest smile and every time he comes in, he is always so polite. Cute guy!

Most importantly he compliments me. OKAY, I think he is cute only because he compliments me, NO! He is truly cute though *insert smiley face*

I stalk Sephora website

Addiction huh? Yeap, yeap... I spent too much money on makeup. I was talking to my friends earlier this week about makeup, and a guy friend asked a very interesting questions.

He asked:"So, why are you getting so many palettes when you have those colors already?"

(my initial reaction was like, no color are the same, yes you can get dupe and stuff but there're so many brands out there, different quality, different finishes and so many thing else, but he wouldn't understand since he is a guy. So I answered)

Me:"Well, I collect makeup, there're like collectible to me."

He:"Ohhh, that's understandable."

I think he really does understand since he is the type of person who would spend $300 on a pair of jean just because it is limited edition. Similarly, I would spend $54 on a palette since it is limited edition.

We're sick... and the major industries out there are using our illness as their money making opportunity!

8:30a.m

My phone rang and it was a co-worker that called me.

XX:"Feh, do you have online access to magazine, Upstream magazine we have?

me:" I am not sure what that is."

XX:"Well, the Upstream magazine/newspaper."

me:" I don't, but I believe whoever initially setup that subscription will have the record of what you looking for. Do you remember who initially setup that subscription?"

XX:"Well, they called me to set it up and they sent the information to me."

me:" ...."

Sometimes, well all the time, I feel speechless talking to him.

My big sister said once, his emotions is worst that a women going through menopause.

Like seriously dude? I guarantee you will not damage your brain by using it once in a while...

New life!

EXTRA! EXTRA!

Second sister has gave birth to the cutest little niece of mine :D

My parents said that little niece look just like second sister! I can tell already she will be very pretty. New life, new start, I know she will put a smile on a lot of faces. Mom and Dad, big sister and myself. It's such exciting NEWS!

I love baby and I can't wait to see this little new family member of mine!!!! Tiny hands, tiny foot, tiny mouth and tiny gloves and shoes that covers them! Ahhhhh... I'm so excited!

I am truly an Aunt now! Like real aunt when I call my mom's sisters aunt, and now I'm one of them! Did I mention I am super excited? :D

Wishing little niece, second sister and family of hers with endless luck and happiness.

Lancome vs. Shiseido

I'm testing out two eye cream samples I got from Sephora. Don't you just love how a store like Sephora allows you to just go in, grab some samples to try out and leave? I love store like this! But the last time I stopped by for these samples, I didn't leave wealthy... I got myself a Clarisonic facial cleanser device, which I am super happy about! I felt that investment is well worth it.

Back to the eye creams. These two eye cream samples I picked up are Lancome microlift R.A.R.E and Shiseido benefit. As advice, I apply one eye cream per eye and compare the result over-time. It's been a week after testing out these products, and let me tell you, I can already see a different. That truly surprises me!

Shiseido, I applied on my right eye, has made my eye so much more plumped and nourished looking. The dark circles on the right eye is noticeably less obvious. It made my right under-eye more puffy BUT compares to the left eye which I applied with Lancome eye cream is looking so much more dry and wrinkly.

I think what I will do from now on is to switch up the order of these eye cream samples for another week, so I will be able to compare them throughly before making the purchase!

Make up? Makeup!

I've only been in the game of makeup world for a little less than a year. I still remember Olay moisturizer is all I use through out my highschool and college year. At one point of my life, I've never known there're differences between foundations, tinted moisturizer, BB cream. Needless to say, differences between oily skins, dry skins or combination skins; the finishes of the foundations as well as staying power.

February 2010, is when I first starts watching a lot of Youtube videos. RayWilliamJohnson and CommunityChannel are my favorites when I first started. I love to think that I am a funny person, or at least I try my hardest to be. Slowly I starts watching "recommended videos" by Youtube and later to find out, youtube is like a deep deep well with countless information. The deeper you dig into it the more you can get from it. I've always compare youtube to google in videos forms. It is that deep!

Well, back to the story. You must ask, how do I starts watching beauty guru videos on youtube? It all started from a video Nat (CommunityChannel) made imitating Pursebuzz on "How to fake abs". I cried after watching that, it is too funny to begin with and I've never thought people would actually try to fake abs or neither it is possible. There's a link provided in the info. bar under Nat's video which brings viewers to the original video created by Pursebuzz, so I clicked and that's how it all started.

After watching that "fake abs" video of Pursebuzz, a lot of beauty guru recommendation videos pop ups on the front page so... there you go.
