R.I.P Blonde hair †

Ok it's good to be back again, I keep apologizing for not blogging more often m(_ _)m ゴメンナサイ *Gomenasai* ~! Anyway, last night I did something really crazy.... I dyed my hair Jet black ! @_@ that's because roots were too long and I didn't want to over-process my hair and it's also hard to get the shade of the roots to match ur hair color when they're light blonde. So I woke up and took a bunch of NEW pics~ I'm sure you wan't to see what it looks like. ^_^

Beware Explicit Content... haha jk




What do you think??? I think I sorta look like an Emo chick hahaha~ maybe cuz i'm just not used to it. But I will. Colors are always so vibrant when u first get ur hair colored.

Last pic of moi today (Eating home made lunch) * Seasoned Shiitake Mushroom w/ Rice

I just got back from East Coast Vacation Last Week <3
Took So many pictures!! Finally, i'm so happy to see my family again... All I did was eat, party, eat, party, and eat eat eat again. lol Surprisingly when I came back to work my boss asked me if i lost weight o_o?

Here's my East Coast Trip:
@ Benihana on my first day in Virginia (VA)
Liz & Khoa (I was being a Paparazzi lol) - So we told the staff that it was Khoa's birthday so they gave him a chef hat hahaha!

My Plate Setting ^_^

Overlook of the Restaurant from my table ^_^

Here's Amanda to my right~ We sat next to each other because we're going to skip the hibachi & eat Sushi <3

Washington D.C. - District Of Columbia (US Capital)
Here's a snap of the Monument, it's so tall!

Outside of the Holocaust Museum. I didn't go in this time but I went before and it was sad.. They give you a passport and you follow through the story of that person that's on the passport and u find out at the end if  he/she survived :( and the whole place is decked out as if u were in a gas chamber *Scary*

Back towards the car to head to our next spot in D.C.

Photograph of my dad driving ^^

This is the U.S. Capital ^_^ (It was super hot outside)

My dad looking like he has a political career in front of the US Capital hahaha (He's actually a Medical Professional...)

So we are in one of the Smithsonian Museum (Have u seen that movie, Night @ the Museum 2? this is the one)~ My little brother doing some weird improv with gummy bears and his drink lol (Fight to the death maybe?)

My arrangement of the Gummy Bears (Purple Bear is the King of all the other dead white gummy bear victims)

Sabertooth tiger~ oOo. (Natural History Museum Smithsonian)

This is the Cursed Hope Diamond  (45.52 Carat Blue stone alone) Estimated value of $200-$250 Million @_@ they gave it a new setting. According to the legend, a curse befell the large, blue diamond when it was plucked (i.e. stolen) from an idol in India - a curse that foretold bad luck and death not only for the owner of the diamond but for all who touched it. Its perfect quality, its large size, and its rare color make it strikingly unique and beautiful. Add to this a varied history which includes being owned by King Louis XIV, stolen during the French Revolution, sold to earn money for gambling, worn to raise money for charity, and then finally donated to the Smithsonian Institution.

Marie Antoinette's Earrings (Queen of France in the 1700's)
