The sun pierced through the grey sky and its yellow rays made everything brighter!
I went into town and avoided going to the grocery stores and instead found a new One-Yuan store (like a 99 cent store, but everything is only 13 cents USD), that just opened up across the street from the old Yuan Store.
Today was it's grand opening and I went a-splurgin' and spent five kuai/yuan!
Here's the loot:
-2 toy swords for Gus
-2 cutey headbands for me
-1 double eyelid tape for my Chinkey eyes (I couldn't resist!)

One-Yuan Store Loot!Double Eyelid Tape

For the uninitiated:
The majority of Asians ain't got the double eyelid (or technically speaking: epicanthal fold, so some of them get surgeries (!!!) where a cut is made on their eyelid so that it'll form a crease and look more wide (white).
But if you're poor or think that cutting your eyelid is pretty lame, you can just get “double eyelid tape” and voila! Instant whitey-eyeballs!

[UPDATE
I notice that lots of you come by this post because you're searching out info on how to cut up your eyeball.
*Sighs*
If that's the case, can I also implore you to read this: Big Bang: Self Hate Crime]

I actually saw a video about this and was amazed. A Vietnamese friend of barely believed me when I told her people taped their eyelids. Shudder to think that someone would get eye surgery for this reason. Hilarious photo descriptions btw.

I can’t for the life of me see what’s so wrong about epicanthic folds in the first place, really. Strange that people would go to the length of surgery just to get a bit of a crease. A little sad that people can’t simply be happy with how they were made. :C
