quirky me!

thanks Reni for our quirky banner!

we all got 'em, those quirks that make us, us. but it's all good. it's what makes each of us unique.

it all started with Kat's post. she wanted to warn inform us about her. then Leesh thought it was a great idea we follow in Kat's lead to make us aware of what we're up for during our blogger meet-up. makes sense. traveling with a new group, especially all-girls can be quite the fiasco. Leesh was next to lay it all out and then Reni's post popped up.

in order to appropriately write this entry, i completed some research by asking a couple of gfs from my last all-girls Vegas trip, their thoughts on my quirkiness to ensure i captured everything. hehehe.

so here it goes...

i'm a ball full of energy! no food or sleep is required to keep me at full pace. all i really need is water once in a while and i'm good to go. but just because i'm like this, I DO NOT EXPECT anyone else to be. if you want to eat, let's eat! if you want to leave, let's go! if you want to stay, i'm up for staying! want to nap? i'm all for it! if i fail to do so, i'm very capable of entertaining myself. it's just plain rude to be noisy in the room while someone else is asleep. there's a strip full of casinos down there. i'm sure i can think of something to keep myself occupied. duh.

i need space! granted, i'm little and don't physically need a lot of space, but that doesn't mean i enjoy it when people are inconsiderate about others around them. therefore, i box out when i'm drunk. which means, I WILL BOX YOU OUT if you stupidly keep bumping into me. the drunker i am, the harder i will elbow you and shove backwards into you. your size is no factor to me.

i talk in my sleep. you may mistaken this as me trying to have a conversation with you in the middle of the night. i suggest you don't try to respond as others have in the past. you'll quickly learn, i'm not talking to you.

i'm a moaner! this is a recent discovery. apparently when i'm trashed, i have sexy dreams. what sounds do you make when you have sex?! at least my sex sounds are muffled when i'm sleeping drunk. i'm not gonna lie, i'm not much of a screamer anyway.

the tv sings me a lullaby. i prefer to leave the television on as i try to fall asleep. it's comforting for some reason. just so you know, no, it's not on loud and no, it's not on for the whole night.

3 strikes, you're out. if you want to complain that's fine. if you want to complain about the same thing again, i'm still cool with it. if you want to complain about it for the 3rd time and not do anything to change the situation, at this point, i've had it and am tired of hearing about it. i feel no ways in letting you know it's time to move on if you don't decide to take matters in your own hands. your right to complain was taken away the second it got annoying. trust me, you'll thank me for being brutally honest.

despite all of the above, i swear i'm fun to travel with!

so what do you say ladies? do you still want to travel with me? Leeshi, are you sure you don't want to rethink your roommate situation??

the vegas look!

now that Asian Sensation 2011 is less than a month away, i need to stop slacking and figure out what to wear!! but in all honesty, after reading Reni's post yesterday, i realized i'm not in that bad of shape after all... i actually have a dress (my good friend Marie gave me) that i have only worn once! how fitting i received it for my bday and i'll be rocking it on my (and Reni's) bday weekend. plus one of the 1st thoughts that ran through my head when i opened the gift was "this would be perfect for Vegas!" and there it was, a 2nd night time outfit for our AS2011 trip.

the 1st night outfit was decided back in May when i was able to shop at the mega Forever 21 in Chicago. for a mega F21, it was pretty disappointing. i only bought that 1 dress and a thin braided belt. oh well.

i was originally going post photos of both outfits, but i kinda want to do the reveal of our outfits by the photos we post on our blogs from our trip.

so instead, here's a brief description of both outfits:

1. lightweight (hence why it's almost see-though, but won't be at night time), vibrant pink, spaghetti strapped, ruffled neckline dress from F21
2. sleeveless, satin strapped, but draped over 1 shoulder and across the body, dark grey dress from french connection. (sounds a little confusing and it's just as confusing to put on! but luckily it doesn't look confusing on.)

now i only need 1 more night outfit. and after reading Leesh's post, i think i'm going to take her lead and go with something that shines and sparkles. i often wear bright colours and don't really own LBDs (just figured out LBD = little black dress), but there's not one thing in my closet with sequins or leopard print. this is a girl Vegas trip baby and our outfits should be yelling fun!

Reni's post also made me realize i already own classy hooker heels (some hookers can be classy, right? hehe.) which i purchased in VanCity a while back that have yet to wear. even though i'm vertically challenged, those will be the only hooker heels i'm bringing. unfortunately, my poor little feet can't handle the height.

but i still need more (reasonably height) heels!

PLUS i also need accessories! i am no fashion diva in any means, but accessories is where i suck the most! but thanks to Kat's post, she has given me some ideas but i definitely need more.

so if you're will to share what you would wear to Vegas, please let me know! or if you know me personally - what do you think would look good on me? i need ideas! time is running out and my shopping days are scarce since all i do is live in the office...

HELP PLEASE! (email me your suggestions and ideas at maureen.par@gmail.com.)

have an awesome weekend everyone!

that vegas feeling!

i'm not gonna lie, life's been pretty difficult lately. and with that, i'm on a mission to turn my frown upside down and absorb my life with all things happy! WOOT WOOT!

first happy thought that comes to mind is VEGAS BABY! if you often visit my blog then you know Vegas is almost around the corner, 37 days away from today to be exact.

this Vegas trip is a blogger travel meet up, an epic 35th birthday celebration for 2 of us and a let loose kind of trip! the group of us are better known for our self-proclaimed name - ASIAN SENSATION!

big ups to Reni for creating our banner!

not only do we have a banner, Leesh also created a AS2011 LV cd to hype us and get us into the sin city mood! mission accomplished Leesh! i'm so loving the compilation and can't stop listening to it.

music compilations bring me back to the day in high school when i used create cds for my friends and as an added bonus i would list the songs on the jacket to tell a story by adding my own words and bolding the song titles.

so in honour of Vegas, here's a pull of lyrics from the songs (in order) on our AS2011 LV cd and how the vibe of our Vegas trip will probably be!

P.S. the above is a mish mash of the lyrics. yes the songs are in order, but the song lyrics may have be combined with other AS2011 songs to give it more of a story flow. werd? werd.

P.S.S. checkout more AS2011 posts! head over to Reni's here and Leesh's here.
