Se7en

When Elle of Fast Food and Fashion tagged me in the Seven Confessions game, I immediately started humming Confessions Part II by Usher. Oh how we worshiped Usher back in the day before he went all auto-tune. Here's the scoop on my seven:

1. I'm actually not as panda-obsessed as my blog title may lead people to believe. I think my major craze phase was during the first year of college and consequently my friends all bought me pandas whenever they traveled. I have a huge collection of 30+ stuffed animal pandas ranging from some no taller than 2 inches to the Big Blue Panda that had an accident with too much Tide laundry detergent (hence the name), who is about 4 feet long. Now I've tried to gravitate more towards mature and womanlike things but I'm still a big kid at heart.

2. I've always wanted to be the demure, quiet type of shy girl that people don't notice. Reality? I talk at 90 mph and blab the pinnas off most people and sometimes might still not get the point across. If high school taught me anything, it's to put on a brave, confident face and talk like you know what you're doing that now I have become truly extroverted and a big social butterfly. I have my awkward moments in public though. Strange paradox.

3. Huge fan of puns. I'm severely proud of anything witty or pure cheesy that flies out of my mouth (yes, I'm definitely a dork). All my friends are very good at rolling their eyes and giving wry laughs by now xD

4. Though I'm a neuroscience major, my creative heart lies in the humanities. Psychology, anthropology, languages, music, anything involving people people people and emotions I love much more than chugging numbers or deriving equations. I think if I didn't want to become a doctor, I would be off somewhere in the world doing fieldwork, studying unique tribes and peoples and preserving their culture in my writings.

5. Biggest tomboy ever. I used to swordfight in high school. Some of my friends made fun and called me a "larper" but I took deep pride in making a fearsome war-cry and charging the bejeebies out of any guy. I never was good at doing girly things with girly girls. The thought of shrieking and giggling through a day of spas and shopping together or trying to plan a wedding gives me a headache. I'd rather mud wrestle. My mom thinks I'm a hopeless case because I never care about my hair or keep long nails.

6. I am so easily distracted. I don't believe in all that ADHD stuff but every since I was little, I would always be off in my little world. I sometimes even get distracted from my distractions, which leads to my procrastination problems and nocturnal habits (I am always awake from 5 PM - 8 AM during summers, it's hopeless).

7. I have a deep fear of going under the knife. That's why thinking about lasik makes me queasy and I took lots of anti-anxiety medicine just for taking out my wisdom teeth. It's odd that someday I want to become a surgeon and I'm fearful of my own profession. Go figure. Spiders, snakes, heights, whatever, but surgery and clowns are not my cup of tea.

Tag.A.Log

Tag! You're it : ) I was tagged by Serenie for the 8 Questions Game:

1. What is something important to you in a friendship?
Please talk to me and try to keep in touch after I move. My family is constantly, constantly moving and I absolutely hate it. My best friend after all these years I've known since 1st grade and I love getting calls from her when she's randomly walking places. I can tell her anything and not feel judged - it's so nice to have this history of crazy memories to base conversations off and know that to each other, you're real and you never have to ask for them to be there. I'm not cool with conditional friendships and I see right through them like glass, which has a refraction index of n = 1.5 (I have been studying very hard fu fu fu).

2. What is the one beauty product you MUST have or the world will end?
Concealer. I am a pimply freak. You guys are going to drop me like I'm Pluto if I show you my unconcealed face HAHA. I can go without mascara, I can live without eyeliner (though I think it makes the look), I don't need anything on my lips or shadow, but I need to cover up my spots. I'm like a bloody Dalmatian.

3. If you had to get a tattoo what would it be and why?
Omg you're awesome for asking this because after seeing so many awesome tattoos lately, I want one! Of course my parents would kill me (or just give the look of disapproval and talk about it to everyone they meet - worse than them killing me). I would get something meaningful, obviously. "Cheng ren" means "adult" in Chinese but actually it also means "becoming human." That's a life philosophy, to become a good human, because it's a never-ending process. Most likely I'll get something awesome like a phoenix. I'd want my boyfriend to draw out the design because he's an amazing artist and he did it for me already on my shoulder in waterproof eyeliner LOL. Or (chibi) wings on my shoulder blades but I think I'd outgrow that. I would put the phoenix tat either on my right shoulder or the "cheng ren" on the back of my neck. My life philosophies always change so I have no idea if I would risk the permanent branding.

4. What is your go-to nail color?
Mint green! You guys love it, I love it. I'm planning on buying more bottles from random brands :D

5. What is your favorite animal and why?
Isn't it obvious enough? Pandas eat and sleep ALL DAY LONG (source: San Diego Zoo) hahaha the dream life! But as cute as they are, they're not evolutionarily awesome like snakes and stuff. I'd want to be devious and survive yo. Meerkats are also cool.

6. What is your dream car?
I've always wanted a Corvette. Any car would be nice really. My lack of one speaks for itself.

7. What is your favorite genre of music and/or artist?
Oh geez. My preferences are always changing. Lately I've been into more poppy upbeat stuff because classical and crooning love songs are putting me to sleep. I love Owl City because the lyrics are so genius! I never pay attention to lyrics EVER but those crazy creative lines make me! (I used to think that "to the window, to the wall" was "diminuendo ... to the wow" - goes to show I appreciate enunciation). I'm pretty big on the Impressionists for classical music though. Debussy and Chopin were the first heartbreakers.

8. If you could start your own makeup company, what would the name be?
This is a hard question! Just thinking of all the companies out there with weird names, I'd probably hop on that bandwagon too. Maybe something like "Mirage" because we are creating illusions when we put on makeup - good ones of course, but even the different persona with the boost of confidence is kind of a "now you see me, now I'm gone" kind of deal. Magical! Maybe a play on that - Mirrorage (pronounced meer-ahj).

My 8 Questions:
1. What's the prettiest packaging you've ever seen?
2. Makeup shades/colours you love to death and those you avoid?
3. What's a secret talent of yours?
4. You just won a million dollars! What do you do with it?
5. Would you rather have perfect skin or a bigger cup size?
6. Favourite fashion trends or describe your style
7. What are your favourite snacks?
8. If you could describe your life philosophy in one word, what would it be?
