People may say I have a problem. I need a coffee at least once a day. Im always at Biggby aka BEANERS for all you haters. It doesn't help that I had and kinda still do have a crush on the owner at my favorite Biggby cafes. I obviously need to keep that under-wraps on account of me now being in a relationship. This is what I get when its cold outside....

A tall coffee with 2 tablespoons of skim milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar (maybe 3) and a tspoon of cinnoman. Can you say yum! Its the perfect combonation between bitter and sweet and thats a ritual of mine. Remember to add all the fix-ins before the coffee. =]

hot coffee ritual

Now for my coffee ritual when its warm out is only a tad different. Instead of a warm coffee, I get an iced coffee. with a tad of skim and whipped cream and carmel as my sugar and cream. haha...get it. I promise its the best iced coffee in the world.

Beauty Tips, Book Reviews and Life

February 16, 2011

book reviews, beauty tips and life

I have new everything for my readers <3 cause I love you guys so much, lol.

First off…. BEAUTY TIP!!!

Michelle Phan, one of the people I am subscribed to on Youtube showed me how to make pore masks out of 2 ingredients. Milk and Flavor Free Gelatin. Would i say it works? Yes. You simply add a table spoon of milk to 1 tablespoon of gelatin and you microwave for 10 seconds. Dont forget to stir before you microwave. It should look somewhat chuncky, then she let it cool for about 10 seconds before applying it with a foundation brush over the areas where you want it. I would say it worked out and its a very cheap substitute. so A+ for that beauty tip. Ill show you the video here, and I do recommend following her if your a beauty freak like I am. ^_^v

Now I have 2 book reviews... YAY FOR BOOK REVIEWS! lol

I have read two books this month and both were rather interesting. The first one I will talk about was the first one I read this month. Its very short. Exactly 120 pages and you can literately finish it in 2 hours or less. Its called "Snakes and Earrings" its a novel by Hitomi Kanehara and its an interesting book. I personally would give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. Not that the book wasn't good, but because the book ended kind of sad and wrong to me, lol. I would suggest reading it because the story is very modern and it takes place in Japan and their whole underground scene and I personally enjoy books like this, and I will say I enjoyed this book, I just personally hated the way it ended. It has murder, sex, and possessive behaviors in the book. So read read read it if you like that sort of thing.

Ps...i just recently found out there is a movie about the book. I cant wait to watch it.

My second book review is on novel called "Jade Tiger" by Jenn Reese. Now I sincerely give this book five out of five. It had adventure, travel, romance, fighting, danger, just everything in everything, and its pretty much summed up as a kung-fu romance! My heart literally jumped out of my chest everytime something else happened, lol. I rushed to the end of the book, cause my adrenaline kept pushing me to just read read read it. The book made me feel empowered, made me think about alot at the same time its very romance filled and very sensual. I just loved the book all around. Great job Jenn Reese.

So I really do enjoy books dealing with Asian culture. I don't know what it is. I am a linguist major and the three main languages I study are in fact Japanese, Korean and Chinese. So, I am very mentally Asian oriented. I find much about Asian culture fascinating. And no worries, I don't leave my African heritage unrecognized anymore...thats another story which I will deffanityly tell. lol.

ok...now about me and whats been going on with ya girl.

So as you prolly remember from the last post. I have been seeing this guy and I would say the dating has been going on for about a week. So I asked him today...or yesturday rather... "What do you say when people ask about me? Or what do you say when people ask who I am?" He replied.."I say this is Ebony. I know that answered your question"...

I'm not gonna go through the whole conversation but it ended up with him telling me that hes going to graduate soon and its gonna depend on if he finds a job here in Lansing if hes going to be in a relationship with me. And I'm like then whats the point of putting in time, effort and affection if its a gamble on whether or not we are actually going to be together. He doesn't do the long distance relationship and I don't want to be hurt. I told him that we should stay friends until then. No harsh feelings or anything where passed. Although I did get a little teary eyed when I got off the phone with him. I was just sad that I found a great and nice guy who liked me and it turns out, I might not even be able to keep him. It really does suck.

We even celebrated valentines day together, and if you didn't know, he was my first ever valentine and I was secretly excited. That exact night I even told myself, I actually like this boy. Hes funny, and a huge dork and I would actually like to be in a relationship with him. I wont lose hope but I am definitely not looking for a relationship now. Seems that every time I do, I get shot down. So I am for right now over it.

And I am getting more in touch with my roots. All because of this new store in the mall called "Afro" Very African oriented, and my friend Eric or Deacon Eric shown me the store and gave me some free Indian soap and a HipHop Poster. BTW... I LOVE INDIAN SOAP! (thats another story or another blog/vlog) But the man that works there is very interactive, very Muslim, very cultured, very worldly and you can most definitely have great conversation with him. His words are very wisdomful and I enjoy talking to him about my culture and just events in general.

Well thats all I have today you all. and I leave you with a Community Channel Video which i personally love.

Mister Chizzled

January 20, 2011

So guess who is a happy camper...I AM!

So, i go to donate plasma twice a week. I have been doing this since may. I always have my eye on him. I love talking to him, even tho, he hurts me when he puts the needle in my arm, id rather he do it than anyone else. We have little conversations, and when were not talking, i always catch our eyes meeting, and the occasional smile. I finally added him on facebook like a 2 weeks ago and i was so happy. The thing is...i found out hes 25 and hes one of those people who dont use their facebook even though they have it, lol. Anyways...whats been going through my mind was that he doesnt like me, hes just being nice, because im 20 and hes 25 and why would he date beneath him?

So yesturday, it was a busy day at the plasma place. Im waiting in line, and i feel a tug on the back of my coat. I turn around and its him <3 and he says hi. Very different from all the other times, cause he made the effort to get my attention to say him. I felt so happy,lol. Then I get inside the donating floor to finally donate. Other guys hitting on me, but all i know is that my eyes are drifting towards him, and his eyes meeting me, and us smiling. lol.

A coup

le ours past, and im hanging out with my friend jason, and I tell him that I want to message him, cause I really like him. So thats what I did...and it goes like this...

so...i really do hope it goes well.. =] i wanna ask him out soon. =]

YAY AND NAY!

January 14, 2011

yay and nay

So…things have a bright side. I just have to learn to be patient and wait for it to show. For instance, when I went to the open interview yesterday, they promised me a second interview because they loved my personality. THANK GOD FOR MY PERSONALITY! LOL! But she called me today. So I have an interview on monday which im siked about cause Im one step closer to getting a job. Also, later afternoon… I was offered an interview to work at Champion Chrysler and Dodge. So I guess Im applying for the sales position. =] So I gave my app to Sallys today, I was gonna give my app to the apartment complex but i figured it was too late.

Ugh..my mom got at me this morning because I came home late and i slept late. She promised she would ease up and she didnt …lovely. I only went to beaners…then meijers, then walgreens. i promise it wasnt anything else, but shes dead set on me going out and messing around with a guy. im not stupid, thats in her mind and she will think what she wants in the end, but in the end, i know i didnt do anything wrong.

Time to Obsess Over Somebody Again!

January 10, 2011

Time to Obsess Over Somebody Again!

I hate doing so. I ‘know if im just that lonely and I end up daydreaming…craving if you will their specific attention. For instance… they’re are three guys total that i like. The beaners coffee store owner, Tyler from plenty of fish and mister chiseled from the CSL plasma place. lol. if i had to choose, i would chose Tyler only because hes so sweet, funny, smart and cute. Mister chiseled would be a close second because Ive had a crush on him ever since he stuck me with the needle. lol. Mister beaners guy is just flat out attractive and looks “older man sexy” if you catch my drift haha…

Its that time where everyone wishes they had somebody and everyone else is either bitter or pretending not to be. Im the last one. Pretending not to be bitter is my specialty. I guess im a verteran to all this bitterness. Im bitter about everything and its just horrible to look at all your friends and family and see that your not even on that level.

I want to be cultured. I want to be like that cute couple behind me. Short cute girl, and tall handsome man getting coffee. This jealousy and bitterness must stop before my head hurts again.

Want to know something annoying, lol. Tyler and I were texting last night. Then he said… ” I wish you could come over & cuddle.”

Then I said… idk what i said…CAUSE MY PHONE IS FUCKING UP…O WELL. NICE STORY HUH? lmao.

So i figured out the soundtrack to my day…. MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACKS NEWEST CD… MY DINOSAUR LIFE

ill be back later without so much complaining.

AM I A DICK???

January 10, 2011

Am I A Dick?

I feel like I am sometimes. I get irritated at little things and i let it show with no problem. I hate for people to complain when they have it good. Old drivers need to not be old or drive. THEY MUST CHOOSE! I hate to be stood up. This is the 4th time this week Ive been stood up. I feel like shit every time it happens. I feel like Im not worth their time. I dont have a job yet, im the broke friend of the group. If i need extra money, then I have to donate. I have bills and no money…ugh. AND ITS A RECESSION! but it doesnt matter… speedway is having open interviews and I know im gonna get the job. and shaneice (jennies cuz) job is hiring. So im so gonna go apply there tomorrow without hesitation. lol. so yay me. I got two places to go for sure. Tyler is a really nice guy. Like he is seriously great bf material. Hes finally back in town so hopefully we can meet up. It would make me happy for sure. I want to video chat with him again, lol. I love this tumblr thing,lmao. Its really nice.

OPTIMISM! STARTING NOW!

IM GETTING THESE JOBS! IM GONNA HAVE TWO JOBS!! I WANT SO MANY JOBS TO WHERE I DONT HAVE TIME FOR NOBODY, LOL! I WANT TYLER AS MY MAN! LOL…I WANT TO CALL HIM MINE! I WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL! I WANT TO MOVE OUT WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT! I WANT …WTF…I NEED! I NEED ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN!! AND ITS GONNA HAPPEN! NO MATTER WHAT!!!! LOL..

Opinionated Gibberish: Cancel Plans

January 3, 2011

Who just cancels plans with people. Very rude...but its especially rude when people do it and not tell you. So I was just in a conversation with someone...was a romantic interest. We made plans to relax...maybe watch a movie at his house and just enjoy each others company. We made these plans yesturday at around 8pm...for the next day at around 2:30pm. He promised to call back later that night at around 11pm. Never did...i figured he was sleep. SO...whatever on that part. Later on the next day...nothing? Infact he even had a missed call from me. 1:45pm rolls around and still nothing so I send him a text saying... "Ok...Since I havent heared from you, Ive made other plans. But you have a nice day though friend. =) "

He later texts me at 2:37pm saying " What? You serious?"

Anyways...i replied back and such...he's is acting like its my fault...this is why online dating can get annoying. You meet amazing people but its like they always treat me like I dont matter. I made plans with you; which I was extremely excited for. And you diss me. Ugh... This is your fault bub...not mine. DONT COME AT ME LIKE THAT!

OPINIONATED GIBBERISH: Online Dating

December 29, 2010

So...online dating? What do you think about it? For one...Ive been doing it for so long. For about a total of 3-4 years to be exact...feels longer because I havent found anyone yet. WAIT! i lie...I have actually met somebody who I ended up falling in love with. But we were so different. A contradiction to be honest. For almost 3 months we have dated. Obviously it didnt work out. Regaurdless...are you against it?

There are alot of success stories pertaining to online dating. Its so much easier to meet someone online nowadays but it kind of take away the thrill of the chase with meeting somebody in the market or the club, or a coffee shop. It takes away the unexpectedness of their personality because you have already read their profile. Dont get me wrong, online dating is nice, but it doesnt seem normal. I wanna have a story where I can say, "He swept me off my feet when I first saw him in the park." Not ... "When I first read his profile I found him quite interesting so I sent him a virtual wink." Do you catch my drift? lol. Online dating is much easier but Id rather just find him on my own. Without the help of google chrome. But you cant blame me. I have given both sides a try. Online dating and Old fashioned dating. I find that Old fashioned dating is well worth it because you can somewhat feel accomplished in the end. Or at least thats my opinion. Ill be back with more opinionated gibberish for you later.
