Obligatory Birthday Post Huuur


Wednesday April 06, 2011   

Obligatory self-indulgent BIRTHDAY POST here! :celebrate:

Today has been a bit crazy but everything worked out in the end. lolol

I slept for 12 hours, I’ve been so exhausted lately you know?! Then went out and had a gumbo & beignet lunch at my favorite southern restaurant Louisiana Kitchen. Then got 2 needles jabbed into my ears followed by dessert in the form of bingsoo at my favorite yogurt place, Caliyo!

So I had mentioned trying to choose what I wanted to do for my birthday, well I got both the new perm & cut and Mike wanted to take me to get another set of earlobe piercings as his gift to me! :deco12: Actually I feel him leaving work early for my birthday was the bigger gift. It’s really hard to get him to take off work, lol, he’s a total workaholic and he always finds a reason NOT to take time off. So I really appreciated that. :deco6:

Studs from Betsey Johnson! :deco9: Aren’t they the prettiest mix & match set!!??? I can’t wait until I can wear these :deco11: I love how simple they are but really romantic too.

New haircut & perm~
I actually did this last week… since the perm has to set for 48 hours I didn’t want greasy hair ON my actual birthday. This is my second body perm, I had that first one back in November. I need to take a better photo now that I can finally wear my contacts again. My allergies ended as soon as the trees finished blooming!! yaaay LOL. My hair is a bit shorter this time around.

I bought a few new dishes a la self-bday gift from Anthropologie. They have an octopus on it OMFG I can’t even stand how much I love these plates!! ^_^


Marc by Marc Jacobs tote bag in khaki. I’ve recently realized I’m a tote-bag person. I have a few nice purses but I always default to a tote bag. :deco13: Usually Cher because I feel so deeply connected to it. :deco10: By I love Marc Jacob’s MBMJ line so much I felt this will get much use as well. I’m really happy with it. The quality, the color/design and the price :ok: Sorta a self-gift. I used a bit of tax return money we set aside for “spending” my self-gifts lol :suki:


The place I went to, to get the piercings at, the piercing guy was OUT!! :drops: I was so bummed out :ng: I was already feeling shitty because I received a summons for fuckin Jury Duty :angry: … on my gd birthday!? :mad::angry::mad: C’MON!!! Now the 1 thing I really wanted today was looking grim too. :deco13: But we went and ate at my favorite restaurant. I love it there. The food is authentic and the owner always remembers us and is nice to chat with. I felt better~ :deco10: plus it was at around 4:00 so the restaurant wasn’t quite busy yet so it was quiet. :deco15:

Ended up going to ANOTHER piercing place and turned out great. :suki: The place was really clean and super friendly :up: and the girl was patient with me being particular with where I wanted the piercings placed! It hurt like a bitch of course but I did fine. Mike said he was proud I didn’t cry. JAAAAHJAHAH. I just stared at the wall and let out a sarcastic but very honest “ouch” afterwards. :?: :P


THANK YOU EVERYONE who tweeted, facebook’ed, text’d, emailed me today wishing me a happy birthday! I really appreciate it. :) My birthday is one of the few times a year I miss living by my family so I appreciate feeling… I dunno, not so lonely! :deco15:

OK, I’m totally exhausted. I might just go to bed now~~ :deco16:

  2. Mika says:

    I didn’t know that it was your birthday, today! I don’t know how I missed that T.T Happy Birthday!

    I want those plates! That’s so cool! Anthropology is the best.

    And your hair is super cute!

  3. samalane says:

    Happy Birthday! It’s nice to hear that you had a good birthday- you’ve seemed really down lately and I’m glad you’re feeling a little better!

    The second piercing is so cute! I’m starting to think that I might get it done! haha! Hope that rest of your night was good too!

    • jenny says:

      Awe thank you. I have been. The world is so crazy lately and my family has been dealing with hardships and work too… it’s like a snowball of stress.

      If you end up doing it I’d love to know xDD!! I often feel I’m the only one that hadn’t yet :O

  4. aireen says:

    happy birthday jenny!
    glad things turned out well for you :)
    can’t wait to see more picture of your hair!
    i know how bummed out you are about glasses. i’m stuck with mine too since i have an eye infection. & then the week before i stayed off it as well since my eyes were red & the ONE day i wore contacts they were super red again so now im back to glasses. but at least this time around i went & got it checked so i have drops to combat it haha

    • jenny says:

      Hope your eyes clear up soon. Yeah mine were SO dry from my allergies I finally bought some anti-histamine eye drops which helped. It’s so frustrating when you have no control over your body LOL

  5. Haneul says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
    Glad to see you’ve had a nice birthday except for the jury duty.. but nonetheless, it seems like you had an adventure. :) Seeing this post makes me want to hurry up and finish college and get a real job and nice husband and start living my life to the fullest!
    once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. XD Sorry i’m late. :0

    • jenny says:

      Aw I don’t know what to say~ but yeah I look back & remember all the sacrifice and hard times in college & I feel lucky. You’ll get through it soon enough :D!

  6. Courtney says:

    Congrats!! Glad you got to do all three! I really think you’ll love the new piercings and the perm and color look great! It’s super short–that’ll be a great style for summer.
    And so sweet of Mike to take time off for you! I hope you are having a fabulous birthday evening as well!!

  7. gem says:

    happy birthday!!! birthdays are a lot of pressure huh? it’s that one day of the year when you try hard to make it perfect, but somehow 1 or 2 bad things still ruin it. but in the end, you try to convince yourself that the day went perfect even if it really wasn’t. LOL. i’m afraid to get piercings, though i really want to. and a tattoo! but i feel like i just want to do these things for fun, and that i’d regret doing them when i’m old.

  8. Mandie says:

    A very happy birthday to you!~
    That’s so adorable that Betsey Johnson sells a set of single studs, how convenient!

  9. Marisa says:

    Omg that’s hilarious! I just got my second holes pierced on Sunday!
    Happy Birthday :)

    • jenny says:

      HIGH FIVE!!! We can heal together. Mine didn’t swell at all but they’re a bit sore when touched too much. My headphones are super uncomfy, might have to switch to earbuds for a while :P

  10. Honeydew says:

    Happy birthday! Aww, you’re so brave for getting a second ear piercing. I’ve always kinda wanted to get a 2nd ear piercing but my ear & my ear lobes are rather extremely small, so I was always afraid it would hurt a lot more than my first piercing. lol.

    • jenny says:

      Yeah I dunno what hurts more, the lobe or the cartilage… I would just go with the fact they all hurt so make your reason for doing it GOOD haahaa~~~

  11. Lexxii says:

    Aww Happy Birthday!!!!!! :D :D :D

    I love the earrings and your second piercing! I think it works well for you. I love mine, it’s really fun to get to wear more than one set of earrings xD hahaha

  12. mishi says:

    Sounds like a busy day xD Did you get your ears pierced w/ one of those guns or did they use an actual piercing needle? I always here th needle is better.. hmm

    In order to not have them close up- def never leave them w/out earrings for even half a day T^T I lost 4 holes that way… it takes so dang long for the holes to stay xD

    Anyway, sorry for rambling. I hope your ears ganbarimasu!

    • jenny says:

      I heard that too and I chose the needles and totally agree now!! My first set I had done with the gun. I remember the sound scaring me more than the pain, so I opted for needles. The girl said needles were better because it’s precise and clean cut while the gun is literally tearing a hole into your ear.

      I’m hoping these holes are like my current lower holes. They’re pretty good about never closing up. There was a time in my life I went 2 years without wearing earrings and they never closed thank god. but now I wear earrings every day almost and will even more now~~

  13. Christa says:

    Love your hair. :) I honestly think everyone is getting a new haircut/style since it’s spring.

    I think reading about and seeing your new piercing is going to cost my guy a little extra on my birthday. haha.

    And getting jury duty summons on your birthday, too bad it’s a gift you can’t exchange for something better. :)

    Happy Birthday again & I’m glad to hear things worked out so you had a great day.

    • jenny says:

      LOL so so true about Jury Duty. haahaa~~ Oh I want to know if you’re getting a new piercing for your bday!! Is it in April too?

  14. Devon says:

    Happy Birthday! :D
    glad you had a good time~! huhuhuu i miss my second set of piercings, they’ve closed up ;__; makes me wanna get them pierced again!

  15. Janet says:

    Happy B-Day Jenny!!!
    I’ve always liked the blue and white dish sets, the Octi is soo fun looking too. A 2nd peircing is one thing I keep thinking of doing myself, glad everything worked out for you in the end :)

  16. Charlene says:

    Yay for birthdays! :) I’m glad in the end it turned out well for you! And those BJ earrings are fab! I dont see any wrinkles yet, so congrats to another year older!

  17. Tori says:

    Yay brave Jenny~! //:D\\ Your new earrings are so pretty too! & I’m loving what I can see of your new haircut & style~ the body perm is so nice!
    I hope you had a wonderful day filled with the happiness you deserve always ;3

    • jenny says:

      Thank you dear~~~ It was really overall a great day. It was a weird age to turn for me b/c I hyped that number in my head so much as a child you know??? So doing something “scary” was therapeutic in a way \:D/

  18. Sidney says:

    yeah doin this from a computer lab at shool 8D;

    SO GLAD I CAUGHT THE END OF YOUR BDAY IN TIME!! tho technically i AM late since i’m a day ahead T T SORRY!!

    i’m also very glad you only got your ears done and not anything else involving needles+face (ur like i tweeted, BOTOX!) i was at first like D: JENNY YOU DO NOT NEED BOTOX!!

    weeeee cute perm! i’m going to get a small perm too, i think~ but with long hair…trying to tone down my maintenance in the morning :x

    • jenny says:

      ZOMG I NEED BOTOX SO BAAAAAAD!!! Well not really. Botox scares the crap outta me, plus it makes you look like a crazy person from what I can tell, so no thanks xD

      I am sooooooooooooooooo interested in your perm!!! Because I’m curious what a long hair + body perm or whatever would look like. I’ve seen of course the curls, that would be nice too. Do you know if you’d do the chemical perm or digital perm? Mine’s chemical so it has that subtle scent but no one else can smell it & I only smell it in the shower LOL. My friend does digital wave perm which I’d like to get if/when I grow my hair out though not sure my hair could handle it. Anyway, la!

  19. Waahh~ I want a second pair of piercings also, but my parents are very strict with my piercings. Only one per ear T~T

    I love your new haircut! :)
    I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! ^__^

  26. Thao says:

    Happy birthday, fellow Aries! I love your earrings! Very classy. Oh jury duty, I feel you. I feel like they’re just always creeping up on me and never on anyone else.

  27. zoraida says:

    happy birthday (again)! :’D

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa ikr, thank you. Yeah I keep forgetting bout Jury Duty. I’m totally gonna screw up & forget to go which is, what, instant jail? LOL idek.

  30. Ys says:

  32. ada says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
    wonderful presents, and 2 resolutions done- piercing and perm. Couldn’t be better? :D :)

    • jenny says:

      Really couldn’t! I’m glad I went ahead and did both despite time… and costs LOL. Perm takes 3 hours and my piercing took basically all day since the place I wanted didn’t work out xD! But all well & good :)

  33. Thanh Truc says:

    Happy Birthday Jenny! I lurveeeeeeeeee you! Haha ♥♥♥

  34. Ash says:

    Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday. CONGRATS!! And gumbo… yum. My mom’s from Louisiana and there’s nothing like real, authentic creole food~ ♥

    • jenny says:

      God seriously!!! I’ve had such baaaaaaaaaaad gumbo outside of the south. Like tomato soup *cries* but this thank god is 100% true! Tastes just like home!

  35. Alyse says:

    Happy birthday again!♥

    • jenny says:

      Thanks so much Alyse!! IKR I can’t hardly wait. She said 3 weeks I can change my studs out but 8 weeks to heal. Sigh, I forgot it took so long!

  36. Sara Mari says:

    Jealouuuuuussss! I want a second and third piercing! Those betsey studs are just so perfect, great choice dear! And your outfit looked so cute with really interesting details.

    Happy Birthday my friend, I’m glad it turned out well^^/

  43. kanon says:

    happy birthday again :)

    betsey johnson always have so cute accesories
    and i get the urge for getting it but before when i got
    then they changed color so quickly that i stopped getting it from betsey. maybe the way i use them was wrong.. :( i love the bags and the dresses so i have couple of them from sale ^^

    i love anthroplogie! there clothes are cute but its so expencive that i always wait until sale. lol there plates and cups are cute so i got them too! & also i have the exact same octopus one!! im starting to cook so im getting interested to plates and cups and all those kitchen supply..but god..why do really cute one be so expencive -____- okay…i think im commenting too much. i’ll go now. happy birthday again!!
    hope you had a wonderful time!

    • jenny says:

      Yea I love all the accessories but this is the first pair I ever bought. Oh do they tarnish quickly? hummm~~~

      Yea Anthropologie is so, so pricey I usually only ever buy dinnerware on sale, but I really wanted something special.

  44. Barbs says:

    Happy Birthday~~~~
    Hope you had a lovely time :)

  45. HamCham says:

    Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day, and a fantastic year~ You totally deserve to : )
    Also, the piercings look really good on you~
    I like the style of double piercings on one/both ear(s) (even though I don’t have any myself, haha)

  46. Veronica says:

    お誕生日おめでとう!!BAN!*(^。^)*

  47. luluboo says:

  48. Linda says:

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
    :D
    i’m glad you’re feeling better!!!!

  49. sukipooki says:

    Those are super cute earrings! Oh anthropologie, why can’t you open up in Vancouver?! Your hair looks awesome and omg those dishes!!!! lovessss, i would just display them hahahaha I like the pink and brown pairing on the MJ bag, so girly and lady like at the same time =)

    happy belated birthday~!!!

  50. hiika says:

    HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JENNY!!!!!! XD ^_^
    I knew it was coming up but I forgot when exactly so I’m wishing a happy birthday a day late instead (or 2 depending on your timezone). The betsy johnson mix’n'match earrings are really cute! I think they suit you perfectly hahaha. The new anthropologie plates “20 thousand leagues under the sea” XD XD. Once I saw the giant octopus and wimple white and dark blue colouring I was like “oh my…. 20 thousand leagues under the sea??” hahaha. Piercings always hurt but I find that with needle piercings heal faster (at least for me). So you’ll be wearing lots of pretty earrings soon in no time! And LOL omg totally failed when I first looked at your MJBMJ tote picture XD ahahaha. I though the brown leather logo thing was the entire bag and kept thinking to myself “wow… is it just the angling or is the bag really smaller than the tag?” Until I realized that no, you didn’t take a picture of the “bag” on a cute background, that was really the bag itself! LOL omgFAIL XD. The haircut and perm look fabulous as always and I’m jealous you can pull off both short and long hair equally well hahaha. Hope this year is filled with happiness, joy, and good health!

    • jenny says:

      That’s exactly what I think of with these plates too!!!

      Yea the bag is actually a pretty big size covered in the usual logo but I loved the leather brand detail.

  51. Loni Fay says:

    Ah i want a body perm but does it work if i already chemically straighten my hair?

    anyways looks pretty :3

  52. Emma says:

    Happy Birthday :D
    You perm look so nice, I’m thinking of getting a perm :D

  53. Marina says:

    Happy belated birthday!!!

    Love the hair, it looks great :) I’ve never had a perm, but I’ve always toyed with the idea since my hair is so straight. I’ve always wanted smooth waves, or at least some body to my hair. After my older cousins got a perm once when we were young, it has always kept me from going through with it since I’m afraid that it will be more poodle poof/80’s curls than pretty waves.

    • jenny says:

      Yea perms have come a long way & it still takes a talented stylist to do a body perm just right so that there’s not too much curl!

  54. Jay says:

    Happy Birthday, Jenny! : D

  55. Huynh says:

    Happy Birthday :) The earrings are so cute. I always wanted some jewelry from Betsey Johnson but too pricey for me :/

  56. Nami says:

    My gosh! I didn’t know it was your birthday, I feel so bad >A

  57. Nami says:

    S-somehow your comment system ate the rest of my comment? Happy belated birthday though!

  58. Lokkita says:

    I’ve been wanting to get a second set of lobe piercings for months now! I think I’ll do it soon :)

    How hard is it to maintain new piercings? Are you allowed to swim?

  59. Jess says:

    happy birthday later!!! ;)

    i love your new haircut…
    just perfect!

    xox

  60. Stephanie says:

    Happy Belated birthday ! :)

  61. Fai says:

  62. hannie says:

  64. Rene says:

    Happiii birthdayyy from Sydney! I’m currently at Sydney now!
    Sounds like you had a ton of fun! The perm looks really cute on you! But I don’t know, I Prefer it when it was longer. But you still look cute!

  65. bloomzy says:

    Sorry I missed your actual birthday to say this so…HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! It looks like you had a lovely time and got some great gifts :D

  66. mao says:
