Once in a blue moon...

I swear I thought today was Tuesday. Imagine the joy when I finally realized it's WEDNESDAY. Hump day baby! This week's gonna pass by so fast! Yay~ Anyways, without further a dieu. Let me introduce, Blue Moon Cafe.

You might have seen this place on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives", which by the way is my favorite late night food network show. All those late night indulgence, yea, blame Guy. Anyways, I've been wanting to try this place since forever, but the space is so limited, it's almost impossible to get a table. You can't call ahead to make a reservation, you have to physically be there to wait.
So, to beat the crowd, the 6 of us woke up at 7:30am on a Sat. morning and drove 140miles from the Poconos, PA to Baltimore, MD. That's love man, I don't know how many people would do that. On top of that, we waitted 1.5hours to get a table. In the mean time, we drove to Fadley's at Lexington market to get some fresh blue crabs, 3 dozens, xl size. While we were at it, we ate some raw oysters, little neck clams and those huge clams that's like 50 cents, i forgot the name, but it was so fucking yummy! anyways, that's another post...

Cap'n Crunch French Toast.. their signature and must I say, THE BEST FUCKING FRENCH TOAST I HAVE EVER HAD! the little bity bites of cap'n crunch mingled with the soft toasty french toast.... ooohhhhh.... you gotta try this for yourself. personally, i felt the 2.5 hr drive, 1.5 hr wait, was well worth it. Just the homemade wiped cream alone, i'm willing to drive 5 hours, jump over a fire hoop and eat a spider for.

some dishes, the boring, non-advanturous people ordered... spanish omelette, and some simple sausage and egg with hash brown. the hash brown was really good though. crispy and nicely golden.


how could you not have crabs while in baltimore? Crab, Tomato and Cucumber Eggs Benedicts. And the Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Eggs Benedicts.


My entire meal.. with the Cap'n Crunch French Toast, I added, hash brown, 2 eggs and bacon. I was so full, I wanted to throw up. But that's normal, that's usually when really good food happens to me. Then I get food coma and passed out during the ride back to Poconos.

Hola! Yo estoy BACK!

i'm back ladies, how was your long weekend? any bbqs? outlet sales? hitting the beach? I spent 3 relaxing days in the woods of PA, had some jungle sex and now i'm all refreshed and renewed.

I've gotta show you guys pictures of GRILLED MARYLAND BLUE CRABS. OMG~!!! it was so f---ing good, i ate like 7 of them! We all got up at 7:30am and drove 140 miles from Poconos to Baltimore, waitted another 2 hours for a seat at the famous Blue Moon Cafe, and bought 3 dozen XL Maryland Blue Crabs, and then drove 2.5 hours back. cranked up the grill, and you know it! FEAST TIME! food porn pix to come..

We did some horse back riding Sunday morning on the trail.. it was nice and sunny, perfect for an hour in the trees and getting in touch with nature. except it was so boring, i almost fell asleep. I'm not a skilled horse back rider, but i've riden horses, liking kicking it stomache and making it run before. i rode it so freaking hard, i had a blister on my ass and couldn't walk for a day or two. so this romantic slow walk through the trail was like rocking the craddle, putting me to sleep... oh wells, it was fun nevertheless.

The townhome we stayed in had Dish Network, so I caught up on some Taiwanese shows and chinese movies. It made me realized, if I had ever moved back to Asia, I probably will never spend a day in the woods like this, with a big lodge, AC, kitchen and grills. Life in Asia is so materialistic, it's scary how money focused people are. Not sure if that's what I want, but you never know until you try it right?

Vegas is coming up in 2 weeks!@!!! i'm so feakin excited~!! can't wait to wear my python gucci sandals. yippie~!

Oh yea, to answer a reader's question if my friends read my blog. They do. Some of them do at least. It's a little uncomfortable for me to have them find out about my life on the internet, a little sad acturally, b/c that just means we don't talk to each other quite often. But it's the internet, and i kept that in mind when i started the blog. i dont take this blog too seriously, its just bits and pieces of my mind, it's like a garbage can for my mind vomit. but i never name names, i don't believe in calling people on the internet, i just vent. i have no problem calling people out in front of their faces, but this blog kinda acts like a buffer, b/c b4 i do so, i might just vent here and organize my logic, so i have a winning battle at hand. maybe my friends should read this more, so they can know when shit's coming their way. lol. whatever, people come and go, it's not like anybody ever took me seriously enough to call me out anyways. i've given up on the idea of having a BEST FRIEND, you know who's my best friend? Daisy probably. She'd never leave me for anything or anyone. She's like glued to me once I get home. That unconditional love is indescribable. Also, she's so friendly to others, and so trusting, it makes me realize there are still innocence left in this world. it's just too bad human are so fucked up in the mind, that they turn into fucking corpses with no heart. Dogs Rules! if only I could become a dog in my next life...

Friday rant and Happy Labor's Day!

When you are half awake, walking into the elevator and the first thing meets your nose is someone's fucking funky ass onion fart, it's bound to wake you up. So here I am, sans coffee and wide awake. Still feeling a little violate about this morning's incident, b/c my office is on the 44th floor, i can only hold my breathe for 30 seconds, or until 26th floor.

Anyways, all hard feelings aside, IT IS FRIDAY! and it's A LONG WEEKEND! What y'all got planned for the long weekend? We are going down to Poconos again. This time we planned horse back riding, golfing (omg, I can't WAIT to drive a golf cart around) and kayaking. all in all, sounds like a well planned weekend.

But you know no matter how well planned a weekend is, some people can ruin it for me before it even starts. I don't know if it's just me or.. ok, it's me, it's just me being angry and jaded about all these so called "friends". Being late, don't want to come, all those damn excuses, it's really taking a toll on me. I don't know when I started getting ready up tight about timing and such. but being late and all those are so unacceptable in my books right now. I guess when people do that shit to you way too many times, it just wears on you.

If you are gonna be late, CALL BEFORE THE MEETING TIME. If we are meeting at 7pm, don't call me at 8pm to tell me you are running late. I KNOW, I get it! you are not here by 7pm, YOU ARE LATE! No need for reassuance. I ain't no fucking idiot.

If you don't want to come, if you have something planned, or just simply for the fact you don't want to see me. TELL ME A DAY BEFORE! b/c most of the time, I probably don't wanna see you either. No body is forcing you to come to join in the fun. Stay your ass at home if it's not something you wanna do. Don't ask me stupid questions like "what time you think i'll be there?" I don't know, depends on when your fucking stupid ass starts to leave? What kind of fucking question is that? this is what I don't understand, I do my best to be "friendly" and maintain friendship by hosting these shit, when people are taking that shit for granted. It just goes to show, that friendships aren't worth maintaining, b/c it goes both ways.

H and I are nothing but nice to people. Small shit, like offering rides, paying for dinner. to Big shit, lending people his car. Some people may call us stupid. and guess what? YES WE ARE. WE are fucking idiots for being so fucking nice to people all the fucking time. We are givers, and of course, all of our friends are natural takers. Shit, if I had friends like us, I'd be taking too.

H is on a higher level of stupidness in friendship than me. He's willing to drive 3 HOURS to Baltimore to get CRABS for the people we are meeting this wknd. SERIOUSLY! I ain't even joking when I just said that. This man is willing to drive 3 hours away, paying $80 on gas, on top of that, paying $100 for crabs, just so them mofos this wknd can have crabs. I get it that he wants to be NICE, and since he's not working, he wants to be the one going out of the way to please people. I get ALL OF THAT. But WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO PAY YOU BACK? What da fuck are people going to say? "oh yea Henry, those crabs are nice, thanks man"

that is fucking it! Our money doesn't grow on trees. Why the fuck do we have to spend money for other people? he's ALWAYS taking up the shorter end of the stick. If the total was $500, divided amongst 6 people, that's $83.33 per person right? Guess what he will do. Everyone gives $80, we'll pay $90 each.

WHY? did these people suck you dick so well, that you are willing to take up the loose ends? Forrerals man, the only time he's gong to drive 3 HOURS away to get crabs or pay for anybody, is when I SAY SO! mother fucker don't understand them fucking people are here for the free ride, and i'm the bitch going through thick and thin with him. He needs to get that through his fucking head.

I may sound controling and shit. But I'm just here trying to protect my man. he should know better by now. After all the shit he's been through, there is only a handful who'll be there for him. Fuck all those other fucking posers and fakers. That's the lesson I learnt at least. If I'm nice to you, and you've done me wrong before, be known I'm only keeping you around b/c I still need to use you. Don't get your panties all twisted up in a bunch sweetie, that's how the world works. I'm not as "forgive and forget" as you think I am. I pretend for my own benefit. You might think you dudged a bullet b/c I ain't putting you on blast. Rememeber this, what goes around, comes around. Karma is a bitch, and she'll come back and bite you in the ass.

Shit, if she won't, I will. Just remember that...

Have a nice weekend, ladies. Payce~

big hair and tattoos

and i'm a bad ass bitch.. lol. jk....

anyways, i was just reading fuzkittie's entry about using hair powder to create a big volumnized hair. then i started to think about how much i HATE doing anything with my hair. my everyday look for work is hair band and hair ties. omg, i can't live without hair ties. i always have like 3 on my wrist at all times. yes, i needTHREE hair ties to hold my hair together tight, goes to show you how much freaking hair i have. then on some days, i just put them up high on a pony tail. that's it, that's all i do with my hair.

then when i go out, i will curl my hair, i can NEVER get the whole curling hair thingy right. it never looks natural, too poofy, i look like i belong in a jenna jameson movie. give a pole and a pair of hooker boots, i'd totally look like a stripper.

So i started to think about when I had nice long hair, that's naturally curled, volumnized, bouncy and looks so touchable. and it clicked. the ONLY time i actually stop and look in the mirror admiring my hair is when I have sex with wet hair (right after shower), and especially when i do like a 10-min intensive doggie style at the end to finish off, I SWEAR TO GOD, MY HAIR LOOKS SO FREAKIN SEXY~!! it's bouncy, it's volumnized, the natural waves in my hair stays there. it's as if the doggie style pumped air into my hair, one by one. aaaahhhh... i wish to wake up to that hair every morning. well, technically i can, but i'm not a morning sex person.

so anyways, sexy hair w/o sex quest is still going on. i'm just gonna have to find a way to perm/curl my hair in a way i don't need to do shit to it to make it look nice. i know, i'm lazy, but there is no laziness in beauty right?

TATTOOOSSSSS, no i'm not getting one. i'm passed the age where i had the need to feel 'cool'. i'm an old fart working a corp job, there is no amount of ink i can put on my body to make me look 'coooool'. BUT! i do have a "tattoo" on me~ my eye brows! i've mentioned to you guys before i got my eye brows tattooed. but it's not an actual permanent tattoo, it's a semi-permanent makeup embrodiery. i just read it on Ricebunny's website that's what it is. and here i am, telling people it's tattooed.

i know a lot of you ask me how i do my eye brows, etc. I'M NOT IGNORING your requests, dear readers. I just don't know how to show you to do eye brows that's NOT SEMI PERM! it's SOOO EASY for me to do eye brows these days, i barely pay any attention to them. I've drawn my own eye brow EVERYDAY for 5 years. Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you the first question i ask when i see them is "are my eye brows even?" LOL. i guess i could be a semi professional in doing eye brows, since i've fixed a lot of my friend's eye brows. my BIGGEST pet peeve about make up is seeing someone with NO EYE BROWS and draw them in WITH A MAGIC MARKER. look sweetie, if u ain't got no eye brows, the LEAST you can do is to learn how to draw eye brows the NATURAL way, so you don't be walking around with McDonald eye brows all day. ARGH, i hate seeing people like. I just wanna use another magic marker and draw a red lip on them, so they can look like the joker.

so i'm going to do a post w/pic or vid to show you guys how I normally trim my eye brows, how I WOULD do it if i didn't have tattooed eye brows, and my experience with semi perm makeup. stay tuned..

65 degrees? and it's not even September yet?

NYC mornings have been pretty chilly lately. But I like it, it's that early autumn feeling, balmy and refreshing. Autumn is my favorite season and I'm glad it came early this yr for NYC.

I usually can tell it's fall when I start doing smokey eyes, buying dark plum or forest green colored clothes and most of all, when all the fall collection comes out for the makeup brands. Now, I'm just waitting on their anniversary sale, saks, nordie and neiman, get ready, mama's coming to town soon~

Anyways, I went to a friend's bday party a few weeks ago. Of course, I did a dark smokey eye, but it's still "light" in comparison to what I usually like to do. I will show you guys another darker smokey eye I did. I kept everything light and emphasized on the eyes (this sentence will repeat itself at least 50 times in the fall/winter magazines, argh, as if we don't already know this). I'd like to think it's one of my more classy looks, an oldie but a goodie, smokeys eyes and pale lips, never fail for a night out.


Items used are...

Face:
Everyday Mineral foundation in a mixture of butter tan, winger butter and medium olive.
Don't think I used any blush

Eyes:
MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study as a base
MAC Eye Kohl in Feline
Kevyn Aucoin The Essential Eye Shadow Palette - #2
Shiseido Mascara Base
Some other mascara I grabbed and used (I use at least 3 different kinds of mascara whenever I do my lashes, so it's hard to remember what I used)
Shiseido PN Eyebrow Pencil

Lips:
MAC Slimshine in Funshine
Prescriptive Custom Gloss






This is the first time I used the Kevyn Aucoin eye shadow palette and I have to say, the color pay off is very high, power is creamy, easy to apply, not much fall out and the shimmer is very fine and elegant. I can see why everyone thinks his makeup is worth the price tag, it's so easy to use and the shadows really go together, you can't really mess up with this palette, all the colors works wonders together.

Another word on the MAC Eye Kohl, I've mentioned before, it's very soft, so the staying power isn't the best out there. However, I think it's a great eyeliner for smudging to create the smokey eye. A lot of times, I get frustrated that the e/l at the top lash line isn't dark enough, and I don't want to use liquid e/l to cover up the pretty shimmery e/s to darken the lash line. It's so crucial for me to have the darkest possible lash line, b/c my eyes are small and not well defined. I've finally found a HG e/l for smudging, you can't get any darker than Feline, I'm definitely in eyeliner heaven.
