RECAP OF MY WEEK: FOTD & GOODIES

we went to our first bar mitzvah. my boss invited us, so i was obligated to go, but we had a lot of fun. it seriously was much much better than i ever expected. we wore purple.. haha yes we are one of those disgusting couples that like to match. its never the same exact thing, we just color coordinate. lol



my boyfriend bought his car in alaska. FINALLY! we've been sharing since february when he moved up here and its been a pain in the ass, lol im so glad he has his own car now. look at how happy he is! hahaha yes, i forced him to take the picture :)



i spent the day with my sister on sunday and we indulged in some yummy treats. a strawberry and hot fudge sundae from dairy queen and a chocolate fudge cupcake from starbucks. sooooooooooooooooo delicious!



i got home from work the other day and i had a package... i was like WTF? baby bought these for me :)








my sister got this maxi dress from Target for like $17.99. its super cute & im definitely going to be borrowing it once or twice over the summer. such a great deal!

then i decided to do my face, cause i was waiting for the BF to get home from work... its reeally purple. it looks a lot more magenta/pink in the pictures cause of the flash, but i liked it. the BF saw it and he said he liked it too, lol much too bright for me to wear during the day, but would definitely be a nice club look.






i hope everyone has a great weekend! i know i will :)
& enter my giveaway if you have some spare time, im getting the prizes ready as we speak!!

im working on the prizes. i've decided to do 2 prizes and will do more depending on how many entries i get. so get posting ladies!

if i've bolded your name then that means i have confirmed your blog entry & you are good to go!

INTRODUCTION GIVEAWAY

extremely picture heavy!

so this is my version of an entry for my giveaway. i swear this is like the easiest giveaway ever, i mean.. you're just writing about yourself! who cant do that!? so i definitely think everyone should enter, if you dont.. i might have to slap you. haha im so not joking either. well on with my introduction!!


my real name is Ketmany. pronounced ket-mon-nee, and yes this is my actual name. its on my id and everything, haha. when i met my boyfriend and i told him what my name was he thought i was lying. he seriously thought i made it up, i should've slapped him, lol :) my close friends and family usually call me Nee. the only people who call me by my first name are people i meet at school or work.

outside of make-up and beauty related things i really dont do much with my life. its sad i know. i shop & thats about it. its ALL BAD! haha i like clothes and shoes and purses. i love designer names, im a brat like that. but i do LOVE to cook. i love to have bbqs, dinner parties, birthday parties, any reason for me to cook for in large quantites im all for it. im really passionate about my cooking and im damned good in the kitchen! but since i've moved back in with my parents i really dont cook as much, i've gotten so lazy. lol



i was born in thailand (im laotian btw) my family immigrated to America from Laos in the late 1980's. my biological father passed away when i was a baby, but my step dad is the best dad a girl could ever ask for :) i have 2 brothers and a younger sister. i work full-time as an invenotry manager for a small wireless company and im a student pursuing a bachelors in biological science. im not a party girl, well i know how to party with the best of 'em, but i really prefer to stay home and watch tv or kick it with my friends. i grew up between california and alaska, so im a strange combination of a valley girl & a small town girl. im a yes maam, thank you sir kinda person. i live a good life and i definitely dont take it for granted. i swear i have the best friends and family ever, and i know everyone says that. but i've been to hell and back and these are the people who have stood beside me through out it all. loooooooooooooooooooooove them :)

here are 5 random facts about me:

1. i live in alaska. yes, i really do. honestly no one would lie about living in alaska, haha. i actually happen to love it here. i've lived here since 1997 and i moved to california for 2 years for college and i always miss it whenever im away. its really a love hate relationship, the cold really gets on my nerves in the winter time. im working on a post about my love for alaska right now, lol
2. i cant swim. i sink like a rock whenever i get into deep water. i took a swimming class in high school and i failed miserably. haha its really sad, yes i know. but i honestly dont think i need to know how to swim, i've given up on it. im living my life perfectly fine without that skill.
3. in october i was pre-diagonosed with cervical cancer and i was scared shitless. my life seriously flashed before my eyes and things were really fucked up for me for a few months, but in the end everything worked out. as of march theres so cancer cells in sight! but i do have to get an exam every 6 months to make sure it doesnt ever come back.
   
4. im super hairy. haha thats not something i should share with people over my blog, but its not that big of a deal to me anymore. i have a super lot of arm hair, leg hair.. whatever. i used to be so self-concious about it when i was younger, but now i could care less. i've embraced it and i love it. my hair keeps me warm, LMFAO.
5. i really dont believe i have a sense of style. haha im really all over the place. i loooove to dress super preppy. in high school i lived in abercrombie and fitch. now im really just trying to find my style, so my clothes are very random.

i have 3 dogs. 2 live with me and 1 lives with my ex-boyfriend. im a huge animal lover. i call animal control any time i see a stray dog and i have been known to get out of my car and try to save animals.. it never really works out, but atleast i try. here are pictures of my babies, cause i like to whore my children out. please enjoy :D

my two babies, Mocha & Leche.

my baby Komi :) i miss him so much!

heres some important information for you to know. i am really sweet and very loveable :) but im a fucking bitch 9 times outta 10. haha i am what i am, its really a love it or leave it situation. i can be your best friend or your worst nightmare, its really all up to you. i swear like a sailor, if you havent noticed from my post. i definitely dont talk like a lady. i have a seriously cruel sense of humor. i talk a lot of shit cause i grew up around a buncha guys, so im very guy-like. hmm i really dont know what else to say, if you think of anything just ask! i shall now flood you with billions of pictures from my life. enjoy the picture whorage!

im completely obsessed with Chanel. its like crack, and im addicted.

meet my big brothers. they're all a buncha drunks, theyre super rowdy and annoying & i loooooooooooove them to death! i lived with them 24/7 for 2 years and i miss them soooo much
(obviously they arent my biological brothers lol)

these ones are my biological siblings though. i know, we all look nothing alike.

my bff in sacramento, she seriously is my soul mate :)

my bffs since high school. dont know what i would do without them

the love of my life :)

well i hope yall feel like you know me a little bit better. so get posting!

ya know the drill: follow, enter, & good luck!

MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!

hola lovers :)

i hope you are all as exciting for this as i am. like i said in my previous post i really want to show my gratitude to those of you who read my blog and leave me such wonderful comments every day. i know for a damn fact im really not that entertaining, but all of yall just humor me anyways. THANK YOU! i will post pictures of the prize at the end of the week. As of right now it will be 1 prize, if i get a large number of entries then i will add a second or third prize, but i wont get ahead of myself.

this giveaway will be named the " introduction giveaway"

here are the rules:

1. you MUST be a follower with a valid blog. i know i have some followers who dont have valid blogs but i really want to give back to my fellow bloggers.

2. on your blog you must post an introduction of yourself. heres what you will need to have in your post for it to be a valid entry:

• your name or whatever you want me to call you. i dont like calling people by their blog titles, i'd prefer something more personable.
• a picture. it doesnt necesarrily need to be a picture of you, it would be nice to put a face to a blog, but just a picture of what represents who you really are
• tell me something about it and not some generic shit like.. my name is blah blah, i like makeup, k thanks. haha this giveaway is a chance for me and your readers to get to know you more. so give me something worth reading :)
• this has to be a completely original post. if you already have an introduction on your blog, please post another one specifically for this giveaway with different information on it.
• it doesnt need to be a specific length, but please provide me with enough information to get a feel of who you really are.
  

3. you must post & link my giveaway on your blog.

4. please notify me once your post is up. you can comment me, put it in my cbox, myspace me, e-mail me, whatever. as long as you let me know. i will verify every post and confirm with every entry that i received your entry. if you do not receive a confirmation from me then i probably didnt see your entry! so make sure you get a confirmation!!

5. this is valid for everyone! international readers too, i want anyone and everyone to enter.

this giveaway will end July 3, 2009. so that gives you a little less than 1 month. the time your entry is submitted doesnt matter. I will check my blog on the morning of july 4, 2009 and if your entry isnt submit then sucks for you!

as an extra thank you to my current followers with valid blogs (as of right now before i post this) you are automatically entered in my giveaway for 1 entry. if you choose to participate and do an introduction giveaway post on your blog i will count that as your second entry. so you will have 2x the chances of winning. **this only applies to those who are already following my blog. sorry!
