Wednesday: Flea Market

My mom went around the produce section (dragging the three of us as usual) and bargain prices with the market seller.  Its soo embarrassing >////<  But we got some yummy nectars and bitter cucumbers~!! Fufu I'll miss bitter cucumber soup and dishes when I'm gone ;__; My aunt pointed out that I wouldn't be able to eat it at L.A. so now its stuck in my head.  But I'll manage. They better have good food for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. We shopped fer some underwears and bras fer my little sister. Hahah.  Darn these undies where tiny ^^;; I bought a greenish visor fer myself.  My tennis visor were....ugh. Disgusting.  

We dropped  by at my Big Aunt's restaurant to fry some eggplants since my mom didn't know where her brother's restaurant was at. We sat and talked to my cousin, Judy, whom we haven't talked to fer quite a while. The last time I saw her was during her sister's wedding.  She so fun to talk to. She's got lots of experience in going to college ^^;; So she recommended my sister that the best job there is guaranteed is ACCOUNTING.  Now my lil' sis and I are picking on her to become one and support the family, while I could be a low-paid artist and my lil' sis, Lily, can be unemployed XD  Its good that she should be an accountant, cuz right now she's having trouble with choosing a major.  She wanted to be a Computer Programmer or something, but she's failing Calculus twice.  So no hope fer her ^^;; (Speaking of which, I dun't want Calculus!!! D:)  Judy asked if we had boyfriends and of course, all of us said "No".  I told her we'll wait after graduating from college and maybe even finding a job first :3 She pointed out that we be dating in our 40s! LOL.

Judy noticed the pimples on my lil' sis head and mines too -_-;;;; and told us about this really good cleanser she use. Shiseido or something like that foaming cleanser.  So she took us to Valley Fair to buy the product.  The price was $25 bucks ^^;; And there were also the moisturizer fer day and night.  Which were like $35 bucks.  So expensive.  My mum gave us $40 so Judy paid the rest.  So kind! We'll owe her! Well, when we find a job ^^;;; We tried it out with the sample and washed our face in this small faucet compartment they had. Wow, my face felt tingly clean XD The cashier we went to, happened to be the guy that did the makeup fer Judy's sister during her wedding.  Wow, hehe wut a coincidence XD  We walked around the mall and looked at stuff.  We left and went to Santana Row, which was like across the street.  It was like a whole new place @_@ I felt like I was in New York's SoHo or something.  Very clean and villa like. Wah I would like to come back there.  We went to a Japanese stationary store and looked at the stuff. Ufufu. I want them all!! Then we went to Fantasia to buy some pearl drink.  I order Yellow Jelly Black Tea.  Very delicious :P  We stopped by at Barnes n' Nobles and read some manga and magazine.  Hmm I want to buy some mangas~~ but so lazy to spend my money (tho none of us where carrying money) Maybe next year fanime we'll buy some mangas with discount XD I want JING ~Twilight Series~!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuu~~ It was fun spending time with Judy ^^ Very rare for us to do that.  She was my childhood cousin when we were young. I got inspired to draw because of her.  I used to watch her draw pretty pictures, paint on canvas and I would try to do the same. She bought me a sketchbook once, and I was really into drawing during Middle School because of her.  She's like in her 30's XD  (She kept calling her self an old fart) So on our way to Valley Fair she said something very encouraging. 

"If you've got the skills and you are really dedicated to what you really want to do, then GO for it!  Even if you might become a bum on the street, someone will notice your talent.  And you can be successful.  I guarantee that you will be successful if you reach to your fullest potential."

Those words will forever be in my heart, so that I would try to reach my goal ^^

-----Day End----
