The jury's out, but my choice is you~♪

Where do I begin....Well, I made a SASA order but it's just a bunch of my regular face cleansers and some Skinfood moisturizers because I'm on my last ones. Upon receiving it, I'll probably end up making a YouTube video of it since my channel needs to be updated. I also ended up buying a Doraemon case for my Nexus 4 after looking through eBay (such an awful thing to do). I was surprised to find that it was soft touch and rubberized. I bought it with expectations that it would be shiny and hard since the store said it was just plastic. The case also came from Shenzhen instead of the usual Hong Kong which I found interesting.
I just hope the picture doesn't start melting off after awhile because I go jogging with my phone and my hands get all sweaty. My phone now reminds me of the new iPhone 5c or those Nokia Lumia phones due to the black/blue contrast. On a random but still cellphone related note, I'm almost to the next level on my Nike+ app (sort of!). YEY! I haven't been bothering to sprint since it's getting colder and it just makes me lazier. I also feel so heavy if I wear too much, so it doesn't help. Most recently, however, I just wore compression shorts and a long sleeve tee with a hood thing that I think is meant to wear with snowboarding gear. Yay for mild weather. It seemed to do the job without feeling too constrained, so I'm happy. I've been considering just getting those cold weather leggings but they're like forty dollars. The weather isn't that cold yet, so I'm just putting it off. I'm still working to put money back into my bank account from not working in the summer. Oi~ but seeing my sweats soaked in ass sweat ain't nice either...heh.

[OOTD] Cardigan of Swallows.

Lisa adored my cardigan. Nice. She wanted one for herself. As I was prepping to meet up with her, I realized that they didn't even have pockets. For something that retailed for 60 something bucks, you'd think they'd include pockets. Sadly, it was night and my camera is annoying. There are like no dimensions to my legs so they look sad...I'll have a follow up entry with actual text after this one. I'm not sure if I'm just really easily agitated or my infrared sensor on my DSLR camera is really just not working, but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Ugh! I would use my camcorder as a substitute but the lens can't retract back. Given the amount of space I have, I can only do so much. ~____~ I wish I had that token photographer friend that everyone seems to have to make me look fabulous no matter what and we'd just eat everywhere. Blerg.

[OOTD] Why are you wearing two tanks?

But...they're attached to each other. T____T~ So anyway, weather is slowly transitioning to fall. Los Angeles is known for its mild temperatures and Mediterranean climate, so it's not even considered cold to some people. That day, however, was almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit but I didn't want to feel cold in class at the same time because the weather is kind of wishy-washy, so it seemed fitting. Tank and farmer's tan chic~ har har.
Going back on my last OOTD entry about my annoying remote, I'm hoping that the current Sony NEX-5 will go below $400 during the upcoming holidays. If not, I'll look into an Olympus PEN or something. I've come to the conclusion that it's not my remote that is being annoying but my DSLR. I've tested to see if the remote responds to my button pushing via infrared test where you hold your cellphone to it and view it on camera mode and if the remote is working, you'll see the cellphone screen show the infrared light because the human eye can't see it. I also wiped my sensor on my DSLR which is suppose to be the receiver, but it didn't really help all that much. I have like a success rate of capturing a frame of about 15% ~____~. I'm kind of sold on the NEX-5 because of the flip "selfie" screen and WiFi capabilities. My current remote is also compatible with it already but you can utilize the WiFi capabilities to make your smartphone a remote (apparently). The only sad thing is that I won't be able to use my current Sony Alpha lens with the NEX because they use different mounts. Also with the micro four-thirds, I'll be able to record nicer videos (even though my camcorder is pretty nice as is), but it'll be more convenient to capture my future dog...or something. Ugh, we'll see. That's like half my dog money but I got to get done with my senior writing and Mexican politics class first before I get serious with anything.

[OOTD] New Yawwwk.

Sucks. I formatted my blog so that it cuts off my entry automatically, so I'm not sure how to format this type of entry to look pretty. It's going to be a big blob of empty space and just a thumb if I don't type anything. Well anyway! I got my full sized tripod now and it is enormous compared to my smaller one. I don't know why I ever bothered having a mini one and not just going full sized. I don't think the price difference was that substantial. I can't remember the price of my previous tripod since it's over a year old. My remote for my camera, however, is DAMN annoying. My camcorder's remote is worlds better. I kind of regret not just getting a Canon or Nikon camera because I don't think I would be as annoyed, but I'll just work with what I got. If this proves to be anything of a success, then I can put forth what I get towards a new DSLR. For now, it's continuously pressing the 2 second shutter button and hoping that indicator light starts blinking. ~____~.
