Birthday Mani + Update

first off, thanks SO much for the birthday wishes! ♥ ♥ ♥

i know i sounded all depressed & it seemed like i wasnt looking forward to my birthday in my last post, but i wasnt depressed or anything. its just that...whenever i have high hopes for anything, especially a good day, anything & everything will go wrong. you do not know how bad my luck really is. so i always try to keep my hopes low cause i've been let down too many times -__-

but my birthday was pretty good! MUCH better than i expected. i worked for a good...6-7 hours & then i went out for dinner a Korean restaurant with my friends. thanks for all of you who hoped with me that the cute waiter was there..cause he WAS there!!!!! :D although i didnt get to stare at him often, i did get a few good looks at him [creeperrr. dont hate =P] i also got a free cheesecake from our waitress. oh, and my friends and i usually dont get each other presents on birthdays [we just usually eat & hang out] but i was surprised when a few of my friends bought me nail polishes, a shirt, and gave me a $10 gift card to Sallys ;)

here is a picture of my ugly birthday manicure.

totally random but thats how i usually do my nails =P i dont remember what polishes i used cause i was up til 2am changing the manicure. my middle finger is totally covered up in rhinestones; i've always wanted to do that so i figured that doing it on my birthday would be the best time :D i still dont like the mani but i dont hate it as much =P


i'd also like to add that i went to my second year of Korean class today ;)

seriously, i didnt make up my mind about class until last night RIGHT before i fell asleep. i was sooooo nervous for class today; i dont know why, but it went well! i need to study hard to prove to my parents that this class is worth it! i was also reallllly nervous to come home because i knew my mom would be pissed. which she was. well, she wasnt as mad as i thought she'd be, so that was good. [sarcasm] i got a REALLY GOOD lecture from my mom. [end sarcasm] but she'll be fine & get over it.

i wanna give a big THANK YOU to everyyyy single one of you for caring & supporting me & helping me. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

you ladies are awesome!
hope your weekend has been great,
<3KATRINA

  2. I'm soo happy you decided to take the class. Who knows, one of these days it may open up some sort of opportunity to you. There is no harm in learning a new language anyway. Your birthday mani is really random and cute, I love it. =)

  14. You're crazy. That mani is adorable! I love how you can make all these random elements work together. I couldn't get away with it. haha. And SO glad to hear you took the class. That's the weirdest thing that your parents are opposed to it; mine would be psyched I was becoming so invested in a legit extra curricular activity. haha. I have always wished I could speak another language!! Oh, and on a somewhat related (but random) note, I'm taking Korean art history this semester. It's hard because I don't know what on earth the teacher is saying when she says the Korean names! Ah!

  18. I'm glad you had a nice birthday, and you are taking your Korean class! I think that if you show you mother that you're reliable (school grades...), she will understand your passion and won't be pissed ;-)
