Stuff Asian People Like
Thanks to ever-so-cute Rina for the link! :) -->> click here for original post
Being a Canadian-born asian girl who probably couldn't carry on a sophisticated converstion in my own native tongue if my life depended on it -- I thought I was far from being the typical asian. This list has proved otherwise lol
Below are the significant things on the list that apply/TOTALLY DOESN'T apply to me:
#130 Ramen -- LAMB ramen *thumbs up*
#127 Spitting -- um EW!!!! i HATE this.
#126 Sushi -- although, i wouldn't agree that this is an asian thing since sushi has become such a phenomenon in these past few years. It's become almost as westernized as fried rice and pad thai.
#125 Hand-Me-Downs -- NAHHhh son. Being the first born (and daddy's princess to boot), results in all new clothes. all.the.time. But i'm sure a lot of my younger cousins got tossed tonnes of the Tran family hand-me-downs.
#124 Role Playing Games -- UM HECK YEAH! Final Fantasy, Wild Arms, MMORPGs, Kingdom Hearts, etcetc. and to think it all started with Chrono Trigger :*)
#123 Pouring Tea for Others -- i dislike serving others, thanks.
#121 Having Nice Things and Not Using Them -- this mainly applies to clothes and jewellery for me. hoarder ferreal.
#118 Impatience -- i'm actually quite patient. a little too patient.
#116 Expensive Food -- food = good. period.
#104 Staying Open on Christmas Day -- thank goodness for dim sum and pmall on holidays
#96 Kirkland Bottled Water & Brita Water Filters -- don't have either. Fiji, Evian, Smartwater, or Nestle all the way.
#91 Multilingualism -- im actually glad my mom strapped me down and forced me to read, write, and speak my native tongue. Albeit, i suck now, but I'm still glad I learned. Don't they say children who know more than one language tend to do better in school?
#84 Child Labor -- my parents put me STRAIGHT to work at their jewellery store. I was paid in promises of new clothes and stationary. *sigh*
#82 Mangosteen -- fave asian fruit (well aside from mango)
#79 Plastic Furniture Covers -- ok no one in my family does this nor do i know of anyone who does this. Maybe it's just me.
#77 Techno -- i effing hate this shit.
#74 Middle Finger Pointing -- pointing is for monkeys.
#66 Taking Pictures -- *posepose**^_^*
#59 Pale Skin -- clearly does not apply to me but i can understand the appeal
#57 Gambling -- i suck at this :(
#52 Dance Dance Revolution -- awww yeah!! i kick major ass!
#51 Higher Education -- anything other than a university degree was NOT an option for me "we came to this country to give you a better life and a chance at a good education" -- the guilt-trip speech.
#38 White Guys -- *guilty* Ryan Reynolds, hollatcher asian girl. To be fair though, I'm attracted to all walks of life.
#35 Peace Sign -- um yeahhhhh.....
#30 Cash -- actually, i never have cash on me. My debit card takes a beating.
#17 Asian Supermarkets -- well where else am I gonna get Chinese sausages and fobby snacks??
#15 Nintendo Wii
#12 Basketball -- RAPTORS+LAKERS!!
#10 Boba -- ok i hate this word. Call it Bubble Tea, please. LOVE IT.
#8 Karaoke -- i sing anywhere and everywhere.
#6 Korean Soap Operas - adfasdfjasfksfj!!! Siwon, Lee Min Ho -- get at me!
#3 Academics -- A-student throughout life, baby. Ok cept for maybe last year univ when shit got tough and I stopped caring.
#2 Purikura Photos -- aka sticker pix. hehehehe couldn't get enough.
#1 Cute Plush Toys -- now as a grownass woman, i really try to control the urge to by the cute tanned Hawaiian Hello Kitty. but it aint easy.

Drake - Thank Me Later
Got a little sneak peek hehehe I've gotta listen to it a couple more times but ummm im thinking I like the So Far Gone / Heartbreak Drake mixtapes a little better at this point. Still gotta support my fellow Torontonian homeboy though!

Drake: ..... In the mall steady racking up the air miles. Hit the gym on the scale staring at the number, trynna lose 10lbs just in time for summer -- You don't do it for the men, men dont ever notice...you do it for yourself, you the f***ing coldest..... Intelligent too, you my sweetheart. Ive always liked my women book AND street smart. And look I really think nobody does it better, I really love the way you put it all together. Better late then never, but never late is better....... They tell me time is money, well we'll spend it together. I'm down for whatever, you just lead the way. We go to dinner, you dont even look at me to pay.
T.I. : Well arent you a breath of fresh air? From all these superficial, gold-diggin bitches in here. Guess they plan on suckin d**ks til some millions appear. Et voila...u do it right he might just buy u a car. Man she play these suckers just like B.O.B. play guitar. Now here u are wit your girls having drinks at the bar. I say let me buy u drink, u decline, now isnt that kinda bizzarre?

Ring me up, baby
In my hunt for the perfect engagement ring, I obviously had to know my ring size. Lucky for me, I had the luxury of using a professional ring sizer in the comfort of my own home.
But not everyone's a jeweller's daughter.
So for you ladies who are also searching for that diamond that will blow you away (or who just want to know your general ring size for his future reference ;) ), I found this cute printable ring chart from James Allen that you can use until you get yourself into a store. I must say...it's pretty accurate. P.S. I'm a ring size 4.75 if anyone wants to buy me random diamond rings :)

Update on my ring hunt: I thinkkk we've settled on this 2.26 carat beauty to be set in a micro-pave platinum band. :*) I might downgrade to a 1.8 - 2.0 carat to get a better cut and colour (would a 2.2 carat look a bit obnoxious on my tiny hand?? hmmm). Can't wait to show yall!!!
