In the blogosphere, 2011 was a good year for me. I came back after taking a very long break and nearly closed this site for good. Even though I had to start all over, I had a lot of fun rebuilding this site and meeting and interacting with new bloggers.

In the spirit of uh, recapping (huh?), I’d like to share some of the posts I had a lot of fun writing in 2011. I hope you enjoy it too!

In chronological order:

1. Top 10 WTF Files I Kept from the Teenage Years – When I was younger, I used a lot of blank CDs to save all of my files every time I thought my shitty computer would crash and delete everything. I still have most of the CDs to this day, and the files pertaining to them are well, things I wouldn’t think would be worth saving today.

2. Top 9 Guilty Pleasures – I first hesitated publishing this only because I was actually kind of embarrassed by a lot of these habits that I was about to divulge on the internet. After posting it though, I don’t feel so bad about it anymore.

3. Hot Topic Store: Past & Present- I’m just showing some obvious proof that Hot Topic was once a creepy dark store made for freaks and now it’s become a lot more friendly to the general kids of America.

4. Blogging Trends of the Past- Blogging, like fashion and clothes, definitely does have different “trends”. Most of them don’t last very long and boy am I glad they don’t.

5. My Top 5 Chick Crushes – What more can I say? I love women too, especially the hot and smart ones.

6. Top OLD 10 Karaoke Songs to Sing – These were the kind of songs I listened and sang my heart to back in ’00. These songs are also very specific to region, so if you don’t live in Southern California, you might not be familiar with any of the songs I post. Still, it’s good!

7. Top 5 Man-Crushes (Literally) – “Eww, old men are gross!”–NO, THEY ARE NOT. They are smarter, stronger and more experience than you therefore logically hotter than you (but if they’re really old, like senior citizens kind-of-old, then I’ll have to pass).

8. Top 6 (Justin) Biebers of my Time – It’s really just about the young cute actors I had huge crushes on when I was a little girl. They’re probably just a bunch of sad has-beens by now, but it was fun while it lasted right guys?

9. Tiff Puts on Her Face: A Walkthrough – I noticed that no matter how minimal my makeup is, I will still look drastically different without my makeup on only because I have a very simple Asian face. Oh well, I think it’s pretty cool to watch the transformation though.

10. Tiff, in 34 Years – I’ve always thought, “God, how weird would it be to continue blogging when I start having grandchildren?” It’s weird and like the weirdo I am, I’ve practicaclly summed up my future (of blogging).

May 2012 bring us fun/weird/awesome topics and stories to blog about. Have a wonderful New Years!

rrraaaGGGHHHHH!!! Man, I don’t about you guys but it feels so dang good to be back home after a long trip in the bay area (with my boyfriend!). I’m relieved that Christmas is over because this holiday really gives me the most negative stress. I kind of hate Christmas, but it’s ok, the year is almost ending. Now, I can sit back and show you guys what I gots for Christmas.

1. Purple Sparkley Hat — How did you know? I love the sparkley hats!

2. Ceramics Pottery w/ MY FREAGIN’ FACE ON IT — Yup, Jules is at it again. If I can give out an award for “Most Creative Gift-Giver” it’d be my buddy Jules. She’s like, a professional ceramics sculptor person who created two amazing bowls and slapped an illustration of my face on them. One was a coffee cup that was ordered online, which is also cool. I just can’t wait to grow my hair out again and imitate that look in the illustration so people can go, “Uh…this girl over there is drinking out of a coffee cup with her own face on it. Anyone else seeing this?”

3. Owl Gloves — Sometimes they’re fingerless owl gloves, but if you’re that cold you can turn them into owl mittens. Pretty rad huh?

4. D&G Sunglasses — I decided to buy myself a little something for Christmas. I’m crazy about the inside of the sunglasses because there’s a lot going on compared to the outside, which is just plain white. And most importantly, it fits my big head. Hooray!

D&G 3074

5. LADY GAGA x TERRY RICHARDSON — My boyfriend got me this and I’m really in love with this book. Yes, I like Gaga. Yes, I do make fun of her a lot from time-to-time only because I’m not entirely obsessed with her and I have a sense of humor. It’s a special book and it definitely did not disappoint. One of the things I liked about this book is that a lot of these photos of her are real ugly and unpleasant. I mean, shit, she can look like one ugly motherf*cker if she wanted to do but she just doesn’t give a shit about it. I like.

Hello, Olga Romanova here. Since Lady Gaga has Jo Calderone, Beyonce has Sasha Fierce and Nicki Minaj has Roman Zolanski, I figure, “Hey why can’t I have my own alter-ego? Why can’t I be Olga Romanova, the peusdo-fashionista from Moscow?”

Before this entry gets any weirder, I would like to say that Christmas shopping has drained the life out of me. I am tired. I am broke. And I am ready to make less friends and destroy relationships with family members in 2012. Find, I was kidding. But I spent a lot this month because I think I know too many people.

I’m also ready to blow more of my money when me and my boyfriend visit the bay area next week for our Christmas vacation. It’ll be fun though! Other than that, here’s this week’s outfit (yes, it’s a weekly thing, I don’t go out a lot):

Forever 21 shirt and sweater

Thrifted coat and Forever 21 Big Ass Flower Hat-Thing.
