Whoa! I’ve never packed my things so beautifully in a single luggage before so I decided to be cheesy and make a post about it. If you really want to continue reading this, prepare yourself to be bored out of your mind for a lot of what you might read will make you ask yourself “who gives a shit?”…yay!

I tend to be a very heavy packer for “just in case” situations, but I really want to change that because it’s much easier to carry light. I don’t like carrying a multiple of luggages–or one huge luggage, I just want to have my Hello Kitty messenger bag and a standard size luggage but without being under packed.

Because you can't leave without your sparkling wedges.

For our 9-10 day trip, what you see here are the only things I’m bringing with me for clothing and shoes (besides the clothes on my body). We’re fortunate enough to have access to a washing machine so I can wear the same thing more than once if needed. The clothes were sort of planned out meticulously; I made sure that no matter how I matched these up, they would still look good together–AND no matter what the weather brings I will be prepared (the weather in France is a bit unpredictable atm).

I can LIVE off of this shit yall!

Again, I’ve never packed this well before. In the past, it was a complete nightmare–like I’d have a luggage, along with a huge duffle bag and two purses for a 5-day trip in San Francisco. Imagine carrying that around, well you don’t even carry–you’re practically juggling them like a goddamn circus freak. This time, I changed for the better. I improved. I’m a lot more aware of how I use my space now. And really, it’s a combination of watching a Youtube video on how to pack awesomely and buying the right luggage.

5. Charlie’s Angels (2000?) - I’m not sure if it was part 1 or 2, but the very first scene begins with a phone or possibly a radio they use to speak to Charlie with. Either way, it was ringing and ringing. Nobody was there to answer it until a Hispanic lady, sitting somewhere in the movie theater said, “bueno?…bueno?” in between rings, like it was her own phone. The entire audience laughed.

4. Don’t Remember the Name (Oops) – A group of bratty high school girls sat at the very front of the row and decided to be annoying by singing and yelling out random things that had nothing to with the trailer. A person in the crowd shouted “Shut the hell up!”

The annoying main high school girl turned around and yelled back, “Who said that!?”

Then another random person in the crowd shouted, “Just turn back around!”

“Say it in front of my face!” The high school girl stood up, obviously trying really hard to look tough in front of everybody.

At this point, everyone in the theater started yelling and heckling at the girls. We were all just pretty fed up and annoyed by the disruptions they’ve caused, but after that little chaos, they behaved quite well.

3. Mortal Kombat (1995) – I was only seven years old at the time and Mortal Kombat was actually the very first movie I’ve watched in a movie theater. When the credits started rolling at the end, some random guy sitting in the back, screamed at the top of his lungs ”MORTAL KOMBAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!! I was impressed. He sounded just like like the original yelling voice in the kickass theme song. As a kid, I was in complete awe I could’ve sworn it was the same guy.

2. Snakes on a Plane (2006) – This is one of those rare movies you had to see with a large group of people, strangers or not.  When I went to see this movie alone, there were a lot of things that made the movie even better because of the crowd. I think it was just a combination of watching it with a fun crowd who happened to be really into the movie, and the fact that the movie is just plain silly. It kind of felt like I was in a really huge living room because everyone seemed so comfortable to a point where some of them yelled out stuff during the movie, which is usually unacceptable (see #4), but for this movie only it was suitable. For instance, some guy panicked and yelled out, “No…no…NO. Do not tell me the snake is going to bite her sweet tits!” We all laughed. Oh, and let’s not forget about the infamous Samuel L. Jackson line we’d all scream out in unison, everyone went berserk.

1. Signs (2002) – It’s that one stressful scene: Mel Gibson takes a kitchen knife, and he slides it slooooooowly under the door to catch a reflection of what was on the other side. As we were all in the moment of anticipation, a large Samoan guy sitting a couple of seats behind me abruptly stood up, brought his hands out and yelled “RAaaaaWWWWRRRRRR!!!” After that, all you could hear was everyone screaming at the top of their lungs, but it was quickly followed by everyone laughing hysterically (out of relief I’m sure).

When you’re reading someone else’s blog or a worthy comment that someone left on your site, haven’t you ever thought about what sort of setting they were in while they were typing it or am I just a really nosy person? I’ve always wondered–are they disgusting slobs who has nothing but crumpled receipts and used ketchup bags scattered about on their desk? Or is everything neat and simple, but there’s a weird gnome dude standing next to the monitor like Gabi’s?

I never really cared for what’s inside of someone else’s purse, but I’ve always been intrigued about the kind of objects they have around their computer. So if there’s anyone who’s just as curious as I am, I’d be more than willing to share mine: 1. Team Fortress 2 mouse pad: I use to waste a lot of my time playing Team Fortress 2 and one of my favorite characters was the Heavy, which is the bald Russian man on my mouse pad. I love this man so much I have a signed limited edition poster of the Heavy that’s waiting to be framed in my room.

2. Marilyn Monroe coaster: Ha, I just bought this actually–I never used a coaster before (for my house) until now. For the 23 years of living, I was finally fed up with the stains that the cold drinks have been leaving on my tables so I decided to, for once and for all, take my dirty Asian ass to the store.

3. Heart shaped post-its: Really, I rarely use it because it’s too cute to be used. If it’s used it’s because my little niece likes to stick them to her clothes…even then I’m still kinda’ stingy about that.

4. Snake in a bottle: This was a gift from my friend Hai who bought it in Vietnam. Yes, it is a real, dead snake. At first, I thought it was just a drink, which is nasty, but I later learned that it’s used like Viagra. So…if your man has “problems” and he doesn’t mind drinkin’ dat Snake Juice, I may have something for him.

5. Useful tombstone: This was a gift from my friend Pris who bought it in Mexico. Originally, there was a statue of Frankenstein hanging out in there but since my little nephew broke his head off, I decided to put my pencils, pens and scissors in there to commemorate good ol’ Frank.

6. Portrait of friends (and ex-friend): Here’s the picture. I love this picture so much but I’m kind of torn because one of them recently uh..ended up leaning towards the psycho side, so I wish to have no part in this person’s life anymore. Lolz.

7. Useful Beetlejuice sandworm sculpture: This was, surprisingly, a wedding favor from my friend’s Tim Burton-themed wedding. It’s probably the best and most unique wedding favor I’ve ever been given. I decided to put a dead rose in there since I’m full of good ideas.

8. Floral organizer thing: I bought this at a Japanese gift shop. It’s so lovely and it holds many different things in there!

9. X-Men wallpaper: Here’s the screenshot. I don’t read books (lulz) but I happen to read a lot of comic books, particularly Marvel stuff.

10. Failed & fugly angel key chain: Ugh, the only reason why he’s here is because I can’t get him attached to my phone. I WANT HIM HANGING OFF OF MY PHONE GODDAMNIT. It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world to have a hole in your cell phone that’s so small you need to have needle fingers to tie in the strings.

Not described in the photo:
-Betsey Johnson heart locket bracelet
-a couple of strands of my hair (ew)
-Hot Cheetos crumbs.
