Hotmail is at it AGAIN!

overlapping text, messed up html-like pages…

HOTMAIL IS MESSED UP AGAIN!

and so is my computer.. (not my mac thank god)

i’m having trouble booting my PC, it just refuses to boot. which means, i cannot update the website. i was having thoughts of shifting all my files and maintaining the website on my macbook pro instead, only to realise a while ago that Yahoo’s sitebuilder is not compatible with Mac OS.

absolute retardation i tell you!

i’m angry, and annoyed. seriously. i wish i knew how to rebuild my entire site on Dreamweaver now… but even, the thought of it really scares me. so, until i get my PC fixed, i’ll be updating stocks/new designs here.

i’m so frustrated now i can barely think. breathe jeanine breathe… i’ll be back.

…i should be so lucky

imagine missing a step and falling in heels that are like… at least 3 inches high… you’d think i would at least twist my ankle or something right? well, i actually got away with just these…

my battle wounds

pretty massive bruises on both knees… cool? lol

(the scar on my left knee was from a really bad secondary school fall.)

and this is all that i got on my left ankle… an abrasion, that really hurts by the way and another bruise. i think my ankle’s a little swollen, it hurts when i move it. no bruises on my hands BUT! my right hand really hurts! the bottom part pf my right palm, when i place it on any surface…

OHMYGOODGOLLYGOSH

it feels as if there’s something really sharp in there! >_<

i mean there’s no sign of internal bleeding or bruising, but it really hurts!!!  i have to type with my hand way above the keyboard… it’s so hard to sleep too, if i accidentally turn to the right and lie on my hand i’ll jump up!

so if you’re trying to figure out how i miss a step and get an abrasion on my ankle, hang on let me think… i think i missed the step such that i stepped halfway on different levels, somehow my left leg was bent backwards and it hit the edge of the step, hence the abrasion and bruise! does that sound like it makes sense? well, the knee bruises are self explanatory…

hmmmmm… i wonder what ben’s gonna say when he books out later today. he’s definitely gonna start going on again about how accident prone i am… i hope he doesn’t drag me the doctor to get my right hand checked. i can’t even bring myself to rub anything on it, let alone let someone touch it! i’ll die! grrrrrrrrrr.

i can’t wait for ben to book out actually… but he said he has “night plans” with the boys so i shouldn’t go meet him otherwise he’ll just send me home and go out with them.

he doesn’t want me anymore? booooo :(

why is it a guy thing… they’ve been glued together all week.. they still need male bonding time after book out?!!? somebody save my soul. plus i’m feeling bummed that man u lost to chelsea.. sighhhhhhh oh well, i’m gonna go sleep now. way past my scheduled bedtime as usual! taaa!

Foamo at Zirca!

last night was the first time since i’ve been with ben that i went to a club without him… it felt quite weird actually!

i wasn’t sure if i was gonna go in the first place but the day before i got free passes, so since ben had to miss it, i thought i’d “go for him” and capture some vids and photos so he won’t feel so bad that he missed Foamo. Nic and i actually got there really early, like 945, so after getting stamped and checking out the club we walked out to Liang Court to grab some drinks…

it was my very first time at Zirca! the bass there is really heavy, i think my head is still pounding…

the lights are crazy! love the spiked lights on the ceiling!

we waited waited waited, the music was awesome… but Foamo only came on at like 1am!

he’s only 22 years old!

but very accomplished… sadly when ben turns 22 he’ll still be stuck in NS… ohwell. when will ben be as famous as Foamo?

the boys that amused me all night… fabius and nick!

hahaha look at our faces, not yet wasted but we’re getting there! thanks for coming with me Nick!

psssstttt : nic was in yesterday’s (6/11) URBAN! go see page 7 if you still have it! and he’s currently single, any takers? i hope he doesn’t kill me…

i took tons and tons of photos of Foamo, and videos too. if you wanna see all of them, check them out on my facebook profile! there was one photo i had to get before i left. i swore i wouldn’t leave until i succeeded in getting the shot!! and ben doesn’t know yet, in fact, i went with the mail intention of capturing this….

Foamo with ben’s Zushan sticker!

i only managed to get this shot at like what, 320am?? it was so hard to find a suitable time to get him to actually pose for a photo… INTENSE!! couldn’t have done it without Kurt’s help.. so, thanks a mil Kurt! owe you one! :)

couple of funny things happened while we were there. halfway through nick realised his bag had gone missing so i went to ask one of the bouncers if he could help find it. immediately he said “follow me!” so we went outside. apparently one of the staff had taken the bag! lol fabius must have left the bag unattended when i went to the toilet and when nick was pre-occupied talking to girls at the next table!

so while i was waiting for the bag, i was standing right next to this other bouncer outside and this indian dude suddenly came towards me real fast, which freaked me out abit, and then he said “do you know where the toilets are?”

for a moment i was stunned, then i just told him the toilets were inside. then i looked at the bouncer and asked him, “do i look like a bouncer???” and he actually said “you need this”. he was referring to his torch. then he asked me “so what are you doing here?” i got so amused. what kind of question is that??? oh well. when i was back inside and taking more photos, these two angmohs suddenly tapped me from behind and asked me to take their photo. not with their camera, but with mine. i don’t think they even had a camera of their own!

presenting the mystery strangers… not like they were hot or anything… check out the beer bellies! haha!

i think i did a couple of stupid things when i got home last night tho. one of which was dropping one side of my pearl earstuds into the sink and watching it drop down the hole. luckily they’re faux pearls! LOL! need new ones! i must have slept in some really bad angle too, i can barely move my neck without it hurting!

oh well, got to finish the last few interview questions for Penny’s Day Book by tonight! i must i must i must!

Weekend Customisations!

Customised pieces for Shander and Yuen Mei

These make fab gifts for christmas, birthdays or any other occassion! Be sure to send in your orders early for year end! :)

love, jean

So what if it’s Friday?

i found this really awesome site that let’s you upload photos and go crazy with photo effects!

go check it out : BeFunky.com

Warning : It’s highly addictive, so only visit the site when you have time to spare. don’t say i didn’t warn you! i will not be responsible for time wasted.

anyway yesterday i had dinner with my good old friend, Alvin… seen here attacking my leaning tower of fries…

and i had a special order of…

McSpicy!

minus the greens and with a non sesame seed infested bun! it’s my new found love by the way… before this i was all about cheeseburgers and mcwings..

alvin travels alot, and he recently got back from Washington. see what he got me?

i think the keyring is really pretty! it’s very girly indeed. and the shawl was something else he picked up when he was in New Delhi! i love the color! thanks alvin! :)

i also had to pass him his cousin’s 21st birthday gift…

he got the bottlecap and the vegas chip rings.. and…

the freedom necklace that isn’t on the website yet… i love this piece, there’s just something so subtly peaceful about it… in total contrast with my emo black nails… that’s what ben calls them! i was carving more stamps yesterday…

what do you girls think?

i hand-carve the designs using normal erasers… i’m gonna be using these to stamp on gift tags! i’ll tell you girls more about that soon enough, definitely in time for christmas gift-giving and tagging!

gosh i wish i had more time, but i hate that ben isn’t booking out this weekend. and i just got free passes to go to FOAMO at Zirca later… monday please come soon! but not before i finish answering the massive list of interview questions for PENNY’S DAY BOOK november feature!

i know i said i was gonna put up the new hair accessories yesterday, but i haven’t! can’t remember what distracted me but hopefully, friday. otherwise, over the weekend.

…34 days to POP!

36 days to POP

…i was just sipping the drink and he suddenly leaned forward. tried to press his head against mine and i was like…”whaaaat!”

yea, we still do things like that. it’s little things like this that really tickle me.

has anyone realised i stopped counting how many days ben has been in tekong? i didn’t really lose count, i just stopped counting cos it was depressing… it felt somewhat draggy… but now i think i’d rather count down to something…

and that’s POP! 36 more days to go!

it’s just more exciting to count down to something good than to count the bad days…

but i still don’t know if i’ll be able to attend the POP. they’re only given 2 tickets… the only way i’ll get to go is if ben’s dad is away in Japan during that time… or, if they decide to be nice and give them extra tickets! i have my fingers and toes crossed! of course i’m kidding.. my toes will totally cramp up if  leave them crossed and i wouldn’t be able to type!

anyway, i’m gonna start wishing early this year… even though my wishlist hardly ever gets fulfilled… here are some stuff that i would LOVE to have! (but don’t really need)

goodnight! :)

a midweek dose of fun!

wednesday 1:53am update : the bracelets are up on jeaninegabrielle.com!

click here to go see (and grab)!

believe it or not, i actually made 6 new bracelets today! was having a major creative rush and tada! here’s what came out of it! :)

these are the “happy bracelets”!

they make you smile just by looking at them! i’ll probably put these up on the website by end of this week, including the prices… so stick around, and feel free to leave comments! in fact, please do leave comments! i’d love to know what everyone thinks of these! :)

love, jean

I’ve got my eye on…

there are tons of new additions on CLUBCOUTURE, get a bandage skirt for just $16.80!!!

and… don’t forget to take advantage of this exclusive deal!

Shop away girls! love, jean :)

About the weekend…

it seems like each time ben books back into camp, i end up going shopping… and yesterday was no exception… we had lunch at subway, and ben tried the new chicken and bacon thing that i was actually quited psyched about when i saw the tv ad…. but it wasn’t as great as they made it sound apparently, i’m glad i stuck to my favourite cold cut trio! :)

i went on a “vanity spree”.

first i bought the ZA 2-way foundation which comes in a limited edition set now by the way. for $33.50 you get TWO compact refills, a limited edition case and a heart shaped pouched to hold your goodies!

and then i had to go have dinner with mummy at dinner at swensens, but later went back to watsons cos mummy wanted to get stuff… and i realised i had missed seeing the new SKIN BEAUTY range from ZA cos they displayed them seperately from the rest of the ZA products. and becos it was $3 off per product, i decided to bag them too! i know, i’m such an impulsive shopper…. but, my BENEFIT powder is running low on me, so i was gonna need new powder anyway right? hahahaha hoooray for self-consolation! i also decided to get the pore smoother too cos the sales lady was going on about how you can use it as a makeup base and how it minimises the appearances of pores….

that’s not it!

i also got a bottle of skin theraphy oil from Palmer’s. it claims to be good for dry skin, scars, wrinkles, aging skin… the best part is you can use it on your face! i wonder if it’ll really work on acne scars. but one thing’s for sure… the rosehip scent really smells lovely!

i’m so glad we went grocery shopping yesterday… i picked up tons of ham and bacon! it’s like my happy food :)

and so this was lunch! virginia ham and cheese sandwich, just lightly toasted. and streaky bacon toasted to a crisp! complete with a cup of earl grey :)

ps : did you know that earl grey is an anti-depressant?

speaking of food, ben and i had dinner at Carnivore on saturday…

he was supposed to meet me for mass at 630pm but he was totalllllly late becos it was storming… plus he went “vinyl-digging” with yama before that. the electricity got cut halfway through mass too.  so in the end, ben only got to church when mass ended, and he had to go again on sunday.

anyway back to dinner, it was pretty awesome, but a little heavy on the wallet for $45 per person. you really have to save your stomach for a meal at Carnivore… it’s pretty much like a meat buffet. they just keep bringing racks of meat and slicing them onto your plate until you tell them to stop…

with the sound of rain falling on the rooftop, and for the view we had at Chijmes, it was pretty nice…

oh well… another week to get by. this time it’s gonna be a little longer cos they’re gonna be confined for SIT tests this weekend. why do they do it on weekends? it’s so unfair… at least he’ll call every night tho… we managed to talk for half an hour earlier! gosh i’ve been so tired lately.. still got lots to do this week. have to complete an interview questionaire for Penny’s Day Book. they’re doing a feature for November and i’m a part of it… have to pick a couple of items for giveaways too! so i’m gonna watch some tv and hit the sack early (hopefully) so i can have a productive tuesday ahead! :)

xoxo

one, two, three, four.

for those of you who can’t imagine how serious having FOUR stitches on your finger is….

it’s this bad. gross isn’t it?

i’m actually glad i didn’t see this with my own eyes… ben took a photo of it when he removed the bandage to change the dressing… looks like it’s gonna leave a permanent scar on his finger cos the cut was so deep…

how’s he gonna do pull ups and chin ups like that? he’s one finger handicapped! (and for a long time too!) this is gonna hurt for awhile i reckon.

oh well, it feels as if the weekends are getting shorter. they end before i get to enjoy time with ben… but that’s life isn’t it? i’m so tired i’m gonna crash… i haven’t even uploaded photos from the weekend, tho there really aren’t very many. so i’ll leave that for later…

night night everyone! have an awesome week ahead!

love, jean

♥ Friday!

this came in from Design for Mankind today…

if you haven’t already read from my “tweets”, ben booked out way early today cos… well, accidents happen even in camp!

he’s got 4 stitches on his finger…

apparently, they were doing area cleaning in the bunk. they lifted the mattress, and the mattress hit the light bulb and it blew, breaking into two. and ben, in an attempt to shield himself put his hands over his head and his finger got cut by the falling broken light bulb.

ouch.

did i mention i got new panda charms added on to my phone? lol.

hahaha i love the new additions… they’re so adorable!

and i made these today too :)

the vintage gold earstuds are so so chanel! and the “watch” on the right? well, it’s a bottlecap ring!

did someone call for a vintage fix?

no idea what ben and i are gonna do on saturday… we’re not quite in the halloween mood especially with his finger like that… i just want a big big HUG!

…have you ever?

have you ever broken someone’s heart, and then months later, wonder if they’re okay?

have you ever come across someone’s writings, and felt as if (no, make that sure) it was directed at you?

have you ever come to realise you MIGHT have “ruined” someone’s life, sent them into depression, thrown them into an emotional whirlwind?

have you ever regretted being mean to someone?

…if my answer to all the above is yes, does that make me a really bad person? :(

15 Months of Love :)

it’s the 28th again, which marks another month of love!

and we’re 15 months strong today :)

ben was on mc until tuesday… food poisoning (apparently). i say it’s just the excess of food he gobbled down once he got out from field camp… but he’s all better and back in camp now… tho i really wish he’d be out with me on our monthsary…

ben being on mc got me really tired out tho… on sunday we went for mass at SFX, then went home… i couldn’t help but pack thai express on the way home… then on monday i made a trip down to kino to pick up some stuff before going to ben’s place again to keep him company. he’s such a baby! lol i kept saying he was just faking sick to abuse his girlfriend… LOL!

anyway, i got some stuff over the weekend… more like on monday actually!

this is the HELLO KITTY 35th ANNIVERSARY book with bag.

i’m not really a kitty fan but this was a tad too cute to pass on. plus it was only $28.70! i don’t know what to do with the gold bow tho, can’t bear to poke holes in the bag just yet…

and that’s my CHER 2010 diary! not too heavy so i can bring it with me wherever i go, and there are even blank pages at the back for my random doodles? i also came across this issue of SEDA that comes with this awesome bow studded pouch! it’s really cute, and it’s great quality too. for $14, it’s a really great buy! (and the interior is hot pink!)

…ben has since banned me from buying bags for 3 months

oh well, need to sleep soon to wake up in time to receive my registered package… they tried to deliver it on monday but i guess i missed it in the morning… sigh. need to update the website in the day too! so much new stuff to put up!

should i get an airbrush tattoo? i’m really thinking about it…

i’ve always wanted something like this on my ankle or something… haha i told ben i want to tattoo a panda… he said… “you already panda still want another panda? so many pandas!” true… i have like 5 or 6 pandas on my bed already… not including myself! :P

oh well, night ya’ll! – xoxo
