It has been awhile

So I haven't been posting on here as much as I would like.

More of my attention has been put towards my tumblr.

On my tumblr are more light hearted, easy posts. On here It's almost like a dairy.

So whats new?
My parents are in town and I am loving it! When they go home I think I will finally do that tour video I was talking about, of my craft room. They brought me so much organizational stuff its brilliant!

Well gtg

What to wear?

So remember that wedding I was talking about???


Well every time I go to look at dresses, I lose interest and go home.
No good.
No good because the wedding is sooner than later.

I just haven't seen anything that has caught my eye. I don't want to purchase something that I will only wear once.

Maye I will go to the store and take picture in the dressing room.

<3

White wedding

I will be my best friends hot date to a wedding soon.
It will hopefully be a lot of  fun. I know I will have fun with her at least.

So maybe we should start at the beginning of my being invited to this wedding. Well I wasn't invited in the first place. Please, no need to break out the violins to play a sad opening song. I Don't really know the people who will be celebrating the union of their relationship.

I went to high school with the bride to be. I worked with her for a little bit at my very first job. That is pretty much all I really know about this girl.

I don't know the groom.

I do know my best friend was in a sticky situation and wanted me to go with her. So I was thinking: " Cake, dancing, fun.. why not?" It will be a chance for us girls to hang out (her and I) and just do what we do best.

Now here is where things get tricky. The maid of honor and I have an annoying past. I wont go into it because it would take far to long, and honestly you don't want to hear it. Trust me.

So yes I know how this girl can be, and what kind of person she is.
My plan of action? UH duh? Just don't talk to her.

Easy-peasy-lemon-squeeze

So why am I telling you all this? I just got off the phone with my mother and she was very annoyed. She doesn't want me to get mixed up with her again. Even though I told her I have no desire to, she insisted I probably wouldn't go if it was other wise.

What can you do? My mother is concerned and loves me with all her heart. She also knows how much of a hose-beast this lady can be.

I will let you know how it all goes. 
Until then, what should I wear??

I'm not one of those girls

Growing up I have never been raised to.. blow smoke up anyone's butt. It is really THAT simple.

So when there are some girls talking badly about me continuously, I  don't jump at the first chance to kiss their butts. 

I can't.

1. Because I just don't want to
2. Said people don't deserve that kind of treatment from me.
3. It is extremely hard for me to be fake and act like I don't particularly like you.

*Please note: In a working situation this is obviously different. I am also not one of those girls who starts drama at the work place. Although my feelings for you are not those of happy feelings, I will treat the person I work with as an equal and civilly.

So does this quality make me a strong, or weak person? At times maybe it is a little bit of both.

But the way I am will never change, and so my integrity will stay.

Creep is MIA

Lucky for me I have not seen "The Creep" since I posted this blog.

On another note... How are you? I see that ppl visit my blog, but I only have one follower. That doesn't matter though. I just want to take the time to see how you are doing.

How am I? I am doing well.
Just "well" you ask?
Well, yeah. :) I can't really complain about anything. I have okay health, a job, a loving partner, great friends. Sooo, whats missing?

Most days I forget that I am so young. No I am not a baby anymore, but I am in my prime. I should be living it up. Right?

I feel like the people around my age are always going to concerts, road trips, dancing etc, etc, etc. That just sounds like fun. I guess though when I take a closer look to these particular people that I'm talking about, none of them seem 100% happy.

What am I even trying to say? I love my life, I just wish I had more time ( and money) to get out of my work clothes and get out there.

I think I would like to drive to Canada soon. Or go to Disney World. Save up and see Love Never Dies in London.

Another thing, I wish I had a basic, flat digital camera so I could take pictures on a daily basis. I have one of those cameras that has the lens that sticks out. It seems more noticeable pulling that out of my purse to capture a moment.

Room in my bag is already sparse.

Ramble much? Ok well bye!

CRACK

I will be going to the store to get more crack

Who said?

I read an article that stated only Lady Gaga can wear a bow made out of hair.

Me thinks not. So I tried it out... and LOVE it!
So fast and simple. Maybe I will post a pic tut?

WHOOOO

Just got done running 2 miles. High 5 for getting in shape.

High 10 for being consistent!

Creep at 12 o'clock. (not yours, mine)

<---- This picture was taken when I didn't know the web cam was still on. -.- There are about 5 more but this one was ok, so I thought I would show you.

I'm not sure how the pictures were taken, but I was editing pictures, sending emails, watching crack (aka youtube). The point I'm trying to make is my paranoia for technology has been confirmed.

Don't you feel weird when you're on your comp and there is a built in camera?

I tell my boyfriend all the time we never know who is watching. I'm not crazy I swear.

I probably just clicked the take button too many times, the program froze, unfroze a little after and took the picture(s) it failed to take earlier.

Speaking of creepy, which this post is about, there is a strange man that comes into my work.
I am documenting his strange behavior on here so you can all be witness if he is in fact as creepy as I feel in my bones.

Ladies, you know tht feeling you get when you meet someone and something feels off? Or the way your stomach turns when you are alone and someone is around you, watching your every move? Judging what step to take next?

Well this man: about 5"9 150 Lbs
Comes into my work and stares at me.
Not just I need your assistance, so I am looking at you for direction. He stares. Smiles with his mouth, makes lite conversation, but his eyes always stay the same. To be honest they look like "I want to hurt you."

Anyways this blog is... taking a turn for personal that I don't want to get into. Well I actually have  to go jog 2 miles so I must leave you to ponder about the creep.

New stuff

My eyeballs are on fire.
I have been editing pictures for maybe 5 hrs. :?
I know right?
Craft for hours? SURE! no prob.
Take and edit pictures...... Takes me forever.

I am pretty happy with how they turned out though. I would post more, but I fear my eyes are going to pop out of my head and roll all over the keyboard. I don't want to clean that up.

Would  you?

Work

Hahahaha sorry this is a really cute picture I know.

Busy day today. (craft wise)
I'm going to go to the much avoided craft store today. I could watse the whole day and entirity of my bank account.
Which is exactly the reason why I avoid going to the craft store unless I NEED something. Well when doesn't a girl need something.... What I am trying to say is I try to only go when I am out of something, or running low and need to replace it.

I should get a fruit smoothie today. That would help things go smoothly. No pun intended.

opp just got an email from the post office saying my order has come in. Thank goodness! I made this really cool necklace but I really wanted to put these black rhinestones on that I had ordered from Japan.

Well I think I am going to take some pictures of the mess I am going to make in about 10 mins and share with you the chaos I call crafting.

<3 wish me luck.

It just doesn't flow

Although I'm sure Ricky would be so happy to own this clock (cough) I put it back. Maybe i should get it for the craft room? 

I think I am going to pull an all niter. Get some much needed work done, bake, take some new pictures, scan stuff.

I'm telling you once all of the "online" things are taken care of I can finally put my  shop back up. 

Sample

I have such pride in being a crafter, and meeting other fellow crafty people.

I can't even tell you the possibilities the internet has opened up for me. I've meet the most lovely people, found encouragement and have been having so much fun.

If I ever get weekends off from work I'm going to get involved with craft shows.

Speaking of which, this time off has really helped out, but someone brought up  a really good point. Christmas is going to be here sooner than later and the handmade market is becoming more and more big.

So I guess I need to turn on the ole Christmas station on Pandora and get in the mood for the holidays.

Until next time

Take a look

Here are some work in progresses that I've been working on.

Crafting is such a big part of my life, and honestly the best  therapy for the heart.

Why "SPiCEYRiCEY"?

1. try typing in: Spicyricey into google search. Loads of food related things come up. Since SPiCEY isn't the correct spelling less food stuff shows up when someone is looking my earrings up. ^.^

2. It was a semi joke with my mom an I. We were trying to think of a clever name. People remember names that are fun. Names that rhyme are even easier to remember.

3. I love spicy food. LOVE it.

4. Also my dad had a part in it too. This is also an inside joke because, as you all know by now, he is Korean.

5. My friends and boyfriend alike tell me, I'm sassy or I have attitude. Helllooooo I'm SPiCEY. hahaha ok I need to sleep.

"How can you be straight edge?!"

It is no secret that myself and my boyfriend are straight edge.
We are very proud to be as a matter of fact, and have no problem answering questions from anyone who askes about it.

That goes without saying, answering intelligent questions are more pleasurable than ignorant ones.

It isn't just some label some hipsters can use to be cool on occasion, it is a daily lifestyle.

We have made a vow to be free of substances and meat for the rest of our lives. We are bond together to the people out there who have made the same vow.

Of course with every kind of group of people who believe in something, there are people who are a more radical version.

We're posi. The  end.

So you have made the choice to party and what have you. That is your life, your choice and we aren't going to punch you in the face if we see you at a party.  

A common misconception that comes with telling people about our life choice is, we don't like to have fun or take chances.

Not true. We still have fun and do normal things,its just without anything up our noses or raging in our blood (of a chemical nature).


You might be thinking: " But I can't see your tattoos? You don't LOOK straight edge to me."
This always gives me a little chuckle. Because I am young and girl I should be at a club or bar getting trashed??
I don't look like I am Korean, but my blood will tell you I am.
I don't  have a sigh around my neck that says I'm allergic to peanuts, but you better bet I am.  

Just because I don't have sleeves doesn't mean I'm not dedicated. My career path doesn't allow me to have that kind of body art. The 2 small visible tattoos that I have are already pushing it.  

This is just something that came to mind after having a discussion about how we live our lives.

<3

Work

Between work and then coming home to get on the comp, i need to rest my eyes from screens.
I think Wednesdays will be a break day.

More exciting posts soon.

mess

Late night noodle break.
I should show a picture of the horrible mess I've made of the office/craft room.

If it isn't tidy I just cant get my brain to pump out creativity.

Well back into the mess! (wish this sidetracked girl some luck)

Goodbye saddlebags!

(Isn't Miss Adams pretty?)

I luckily got a quick work out in this morning before work. When do all you busy people find time to work out???

You might be thinking to yourselves: "Why are you complaining just do it right now!"

When I blog it is when I'm on the computer for sometime checking emails, editing pics yadda, yadda, yadda...... OH! You know what I need?? A stationary bike that has a desk on it. I would love one of those. I could get so much done. 

Bye see you in a bit I'm sure.

The truth about forever.

3 years have come and changed us all. To be completely honest I couldn't be happier! About this time last year There was a huge "tumor" on my and Ricky's life. We were just surrounded by negativity, greed, lust, laziness etc etc. Really we are surrounded by this everyday, but as I was saying, such unpleasant things were amplified and closer to home. Now its just a matter of going out in the world and seeing it, and having our home to come to and rid ourselves of those disgusted feelings that come with those words.

There was so much we took for granted ( Thankfully not each other ). I was beginning to be consumed by my hatred, and crippled by fear of more people letting me down with lies, and lack of compassion. At the end of the day we are all human, and I see this clearer than I have before. Although, being honest, this fact alone does not help me forgive the irreverence of others with ease. 

After realizing we were finally free, something changed within us! It's too late to second guess what we would have before. It's time to take chances. We finally are.

Why settle for anything less than your dreams? We have been so lucky with the things that have come our way. The start of SPiCEYRiCEY has opened a lot of doors for us. We want so much to share our positivity and success with you that has come from it!

You just have to take one step at a time and wake up in the morning knowing life is a gift.
Leave the faithless and doubtful in their miserable clouds, because you are better than that.

I am writting this to tell you if no one else will believe in you, I will! And you can follow and achive your dreams with hard work. Don't give up on me, because I refuse to give up on you.


Now that is the truth.
Forever,
SPiCEY

sorry about the huge picture on the top of my blog!! As soon as I can fix something up really nice its going up!

What does summer mean to you?

For me it means: movies, late nights, friends, being glamorous, floral prints, salads ( too hot to cook), the ocean... taking chances.


Leading a posi life is both uplifting and so easy. 

Real talk

I'm short.
I wear glasses... sometimes.

I love anime.
Candy will always be a vice of mine.
I love movies.
If  I ever buy a kindel, or knook or whatever those are, I will still buy actual books.
Above all else, don't be rude or lie. You will forever fall from my good graces.
I have never taken an art class in my life. ( I would really like to)
The big turtle from The Never Ending Story freaks me out.
 I want to travel before I get married or have kids.
Drug free.
Meat free.
True till death.
I love meeting new people.
Ever since I was about 12 I've wanted to work.
Disneyland could really be the happiest place on earth.
I can't eat sour cream, it grosses me out.
I love making people feel good about themselves.
I am a geek.

and now I have a tumblr... can you guess what it is under? You guessed it! SPiCEYRiCEY. 

Now you're probably thinking to yourself why is this crazy girl making all these blogs, and posting a lot? 

I don't drink. I don't do the drugs and I have to wake up early to go to work. 

(You also may be thinking I am square. Maybe I am for using the word square.) 

Well that is it for me. Big day tomorrow. 

With the blogs that I have now you better believe all my friends are going to hate me and my camera. I'm going to be the paparazzi! 

                        I probably don't run as fast as they do though. 

ok really though goodnight.

Sneek peak at some new SPiCEYRiCEY items

i

I've been working really hard to get things out on time but there have been a few things that got in the way.

1st thing: There was the craziest dust storm in my town that I have ever seen since the winter of 98. (not really) Well that was messing up the connection to the internet.


I'm reading this now and realize the details are dreadfully boring. Lets move on then, shall we?

Have you ever asked yourself: "Why can't I blog? If so and so can, why can't I?"
So here is the start to my blogging life. ^_^
