Ironman and Jolly Rancher

Am i the only movie-goer not dully impressed by Ironman? I walked in having high expectations. Rightfully so, because all the critics gave it either an A or a B+. Let's talk about the things i enjoyed about the movie. The cast was superb. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark was impeccable casting. It was like the role was made specifically for him. I actually believed him in the movie. I don't remember where i've seen Terrence Howard in other movies, but he plays Rhodes in Ironman. I like this kid. He's always a hero to me. It might be because he reminds me of Cuba Gooding Jr. - LOVE! Obadiah was a true villain. Throughout the movie i suspected him. I thought he was evil, conniving and very convincing. The very qualities you want in a villain. Last but not least, the subtle eye candy. I love Gwyneth Paltrow. I used to not like her, but she grows on you as an actress. She seems very charming and down to earth. Though some might call her homely, i see her as a diamond in the ruff. The script was very good. I liked Stark's dry humor and fast wit. It kept me laughing. The visuals were beautifully integrated and very well executed. All my senses were put to good use and for the most part, satisfied. Even smell because that movie theater sure did wreak. Anyways, for some reason all the pros about this movie didn't make the feel-good feeling last. The last fight scene didn't pack enough punch for me. It winded down too fast and his romance was not solidified. I know that there were implications of the couple "finally" together, but i'd like to see something concrete. I'm a sucker for the whole fairytale ending, so that's a crucial aspect for me. All in all, i thought it was well-played out. I don't think it's a movie i'd watch over and over again, but it was well worth the watch. Ironman put up a valiant fight, but Transforms undoubtedly won in the end (for me, at least)

I was about to do nothing today and ended up going out with the bf to watch Ironman. Crazy how things spontaneously happen. When i came home, i started messing around with makeup. I know, why am i so random? Like before, i only did one eye. In the light my acne looks awful. It resembles a rocky terrain suffering from drought. Nasty as heck. I hope it gets better. I don't know what to do about it. Anyways, i think i'm going to make a vid tutorial tomorrow based on this look. I used 4 colors in total. I took pictures in natural lighting, no flash and bathroom lighting, no flash.
Please don't comment about my eyebrows. I haven't groomed them in so long. Ever since i've been home, i've become extremely lazy. Ya'll should see my room. It's a total mess! I'm not sure if i like how this turned out. You can sort of see my contact!
Once again, don't mind the eyebrows and now the bags. I'm aware that i look completely nasty. So for the inner eye and inner lower, i used a gold pigment. For the next 2/3 of the eye, i used a light pink. In this case, i think the light pink is too light. It might be washed out by the other two colors. It might work, i don't know. I'm kind of indifferent at this point. Sometimes it looks good and other times it looks blah. I used hot pink for the outer-v, contour, and lower lid. On the top of the eye, i used a pale-ish, neutral color to highlight and blend. I went for a taupe color with minimum sparklage because i'm modest and don't want to look like a tranny. I tightlined my eye and then went over the top with liner. For the bottom eye, i rimmed my waterline with eyeliner as well. To finish, i curled my lashes and mascary-ed them. Goldy-Pink/Jolly Rancher is what i call this.

My sister made her black bean soup. Surprisingly, it was delish. It had a tex-mex feel. I call it black bean chili because it has the same consistency. During dinner i started watching my shows! In DWTS, Kristi and Mark are back on top with a perfect 60! I only caught the freestyle round, but the dancers are all bringing their A-game. I'm impressed. I hear that Kristi is the favorite! She needs to call upon asians and girls to pull her through. Christian started speaking spanish, saying that Latinos need tot back him up. The finale tomorrow night should be fun to watch. It's a 2-hour session with Usher as the guest performer. Then, i sat down and watched House. I haven't seen any of this season, so of course the only one i catch is the season finale. Although i don't have any connection towards the characters, i genuinely felt sad. It was a very heartfelt season finale. Throughout the episode, my sisters and i were asking each other what happened. Like any of us knew, it was a laugh. So house's best friend wilson's lover died. Apparently, house was drunk at a bar and called wilson to pick him up. Wilson was busy, so amber went and got him. House piled onto a bus and she followed suit. She was taking medicine for her flu and that was when the bus crashed. House went had a concussion/coma and then had a heart attack. Now, he can't sleep well and has a loss of memory. Because of the bus crash, Amber had liver failure which caused her flu medicine to seep into her body causing an overdose. She died because of it. Poor house is sad that his best friend hates him. To top it off, the other girl doctor with blonde hair learned she has huntington's disease. The whole episode was sad.

Since my baby cousin's b-day was yesterday, i have tons of leftovers today. It was a fun event. I never realized my height/size until i'm actually asked. My aunt asked me how tall i was. She made a guess of 5'8. I kind of gaped and said, minus 6 inches! She was shocked as well, saying that i was so short. Everyone in my family thinks i'm tall/model height because i have long legs. It's the illusion. I have heels and long arms. I saw this girl there, my uncle's friend's daughter, that looked 18! She was only 15! She was tall, slender, and in my opinion, pretty. I was shocked when she said she was only a freshman in hs. For some reason, i felt that she was fake. I didn't like her voice or the way she spoke. I am so critical...and mean.

The tourism ministry on Monday named Hello Kitty as its choice to represent the country in China and Hong Kong, two places where she is wildly popular among kids and young women. Officials hope that tapping into that fan base will lead to a bigger flow of tourists into Japan, and closer toward their goal of attracting 10 million overseas visitors every year under the "Visit Japan" campaign. [read more here] Although it sounds silly, i think it's a smart idea. What better way to attract tourists than a big, pink, hello kitty? I, for one, really love the idea. What is japan? Japan is cute, friendly, and loving. You get all of that in a hello kitty. I don't know how serious people will take HK, but it's worth a try. Apparently, tourism is japan has become popular. Why not take the chance and go for the sky! Although i think the idea is brilliant, i think a HK needs a mouth. I saw her show and always thought it was weird how she could talk but didn't have a mouth. How does that work? That's me becoming over analytical about things. Sometimes i sound like my sisters.

Cute picture of the day.

Bloop bloop.
