Gift Ideas: DIY Gift Name tags!!

HELLO!


I just finished wrapping some presents and I wanted to add something a little special...
So instead of buying cards to show who your giving it to, MAKE THEM!
It is so much fun and it releases you and dives you into your creativity... Does that even make sense?
Well, IDK. So here's my DIY on making your own Gift Name Tag:


1.) Grab a regular notecard and punch a hole in the middle

Here I am using the library's old library cards...


2.) Grab a desired magazine background. (And you can use anything, its best to select something that relates to the occasion. But if you don't want to then don't. This is entirely up to you!)

Here I am using Urban Outfitter's Catalog they send me every month.




3.) Using paste or glue stick (preferably use the glue stick since it wont have the wet look when it dries), paste the side that you are not using (the not blank side, lol) to the back of the background you have chosen.

It should have the blank side of the notecard and the background from the magazine showing.




4.) Get your creativity going! Grab any kind of creative-ness you are best at or feel like doing and draw, paint, sketch, etc something that is beautiful! I chose to paint stuff...
AND... VIOLA!

Hope you enjoy this DIY on gift tags!
If so show your support and follow me ~~♥

no matter how hard i try i get distracted by things in life that are not essential.
i dont want to disappoint myself and i am not ready to accept rejection by dental schools.


sometimes i just wonder how come everything in life is hard.
even tho i know i am fortunate i feel like it is hard to accomplish your dreams in life.


i want to be successful. i hope the people in the admission committee see something in me and accept me into their dental school.


hahaha i'll just keep trying hard enough...

Science Stuff: Intro to Oxidative Phosphorylation

I think it'd be nice if i did some summary of what im learning here in my blog... so i teach myself in written form and so i can test myself i really know it... I think that itll be fun! so here is my first subject oxidative phosphorylation...

oh btw this is not going to be a paper that needs to be third person with all that good stuff.. no i am going to do this my way of understanding these things. and if you dont believe it then check wikipedia ok?? hehehe here it goes...

The mitochondria produces ATP but how it is produced is the study in which oxidative phosphorylation explains to us how this happens. The energy source that the mitochondria gets from is the proton gradient which is maintained by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2. But this is no simple stuff... because the oxidation of these two involve in a series of catalytic components...

DIY: Cheap Brush Guard Alternative

Hello people!
I just posted a do it yourself on youtube!

I filmed it using the Nikon D5100! Cool huh?

So this is my version of the Brush Guard. I know you can just buy it but i figured I dont really want to spend soo much money.

My solution was to come up with another way to dry my brushes. I came up with this idea after I saw the Michelle Phan video about the B.G. and I thought I needed to do that kind of stuff.


But I tell you, you dont need to spend that kind of money when you can just diy it... you know.

By using a regular bamboo sushi wrapping rolling thingy, I was able to dry my brushes the same way, and cheaper!
I found these wrappers at my kitchen and just used a regular hair tie to hold it together. I got this idea by seeing how chinese brushes were used to dry using like a paper mat.

So yea you can use anything you would like!
Have fun! And be creative!!!

Hello once again!

haaaayyyyy i need more time but i shouldnt cause i should be finished with it already!!! ahhhhh!!! applying to dental schools is hard work but i know it is do-able! I am soo grateful that i did it though, because even though i dont get in, i have experienced and challenged myself more and more. Although i dont feel as if i have accomplished anything i know that one day i am going to be a dentist and start working with my very own patients and going to mission trips to improve my community as well as other countries that need medical help. studying for the dat is all good but i really would like to come back to shadowing again... i miss it... huuu it keeps me motivated because i see what i want to be! but yea i need to study some quantitative reasoning sooo let me do another blog and yea! ^__^

Lagging...'-___-

I know I know....
But you know what motivates me?
Well I can say my passion but really its the determination to know more...
so instead of pouring myself into writing and expressing myself
i got to goooooooooooooooooo

Favorite January Make-up Looks

I don’t know but this January I’ve liked a lot of natural toned make up. I think it is because I am growing out of having a lot of color but then again, watching other youtube gurus kind of inspire me to determine what my next make up look would be.  Instead of using eyeliner I put different shades of brown on my lid creating a look that is rather elegant and natural.  Its all about the rosy cheeks as well, cold days makes my cheeks rosy and enhancing them is even better. I guess what I’m aiming for is a winter/ ready for spring look. I just love the look. So basically to sum it up, shades of browns on the eye, full and long lashes, rosy cheeks and a natural lip. I believe that if you don’t need foundation and your skin is just awesome don’t cover it up but if there is some places that you need covering then just cover it. But oh well I could only find one picture that shows the look I’ve been loving! I only have one cause I'm not really a picture whore lol. btw its also my profile pic in fb and oh I noticed is that I used eyeliner for this look but with or without eyeliner is all good (thats cause I was going to a concert that night!)

Scared

My facebook status says, "Scared therefore I never follow through." I said that cause I realized that yes I have all these ideas in my head saying, yea I should do this, I should do that but with some odd reason I never seem to talk the talk and walk the walk. Irritating to the fact that probably I would have accomplished more with what I have.
Its funny how I'm not even doing anything with my application process for dental school and I'm stressing out already!
Oh well somehow I feel like I should blog about this simple status that means a lot to me. Makes you somewhat wonder that other people are thinking about when they post things on facebook.

A NEW YEAR

A clean slate! LET'S DO THIS! 

I am very excited for this semester! Last year was not the year for me. Looking behind, I can see how far back I’ve fallen into.

Now, I am determined! I can feel that the tides have changed…

I’m pretty sure everyone is feeling the way I do.

I know this because my friend said last year was not really a very good year. He’s a superstitious man, and he said that since he was the year of the snake, the year of the tiger was not working for him because the snake and the tiger are enemies. Then he went through another scenario that the snake ‘people’ had a horrible time last year… Then I thought to myself, I’m a snake! And in one year’s time I could tell that somehow I wasn’t really putting my 100% effort into things, especially school. Although lets just say I am determined and nothing will stop me!

Sometimes I figure, what’s the reason for me to do this blogging thing? Is someone going to even look at this, pause, and read something I’m jibberjabbing about? But I guess like any modern day young adult like me can say that there is a certain fascination about documenting everything that they can online. But I guess that’s the adventure! Knowing that the world may one day realize you’re here, living and possibly alive. Immortalizing yourself, I think is a captivation of all this.

Moving on to more jibberjabbing… hmmm…

Its scary to find out your weaknesses, in a way because it can consume you and make you, you.  

I plan to break free from my weaknesses and start anew.

The thing that holds me back and the thing that propels me forward are stressful!

Sigh

I could go for more but I think I’ll stop here!
