SHORT HUR. DON'T CUR.

Lately I've gotten a lot of comments on my hair. Majority of the comments I would get in a day were

• "wow your hair is so long!" 
• "your hair looks amazing!"
• "dang your hair is so long!"

Along with the comments/compliments were followed up with questions such as

1. How long have you been growing it?
2. Doesn't it get in the way? 
3. Are you planning to cut it? If so are you going to donate your hair to help those who have Cancer?

I want to make a post on how long I've been growing my hair and basically the background of me growing it. 1) I have been growing my hair ever since JULY 3, 2014. So a little more than a year. This is what I looked like.

(I got the date from the properties of this image)

On this day I got a haircut as well. 

I have been growing my hair before this haircut image ever since last summer as well!

(IT WAS REALLY LONG).

Before my recent cut JULY 18, 2014 this is what my hair looked like!

I honestly didn't know I was growing my hair this long!

Even I'm astonished!

(Too bad I had no talent with my hands to utilize all this hair! LOL).

AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW!!

It's much shorter than this actually so here's an actual pic

Yeah that's how much they cut off!

Keep in mind all the hair they cut off without the ponytail ;)

2) YES! My hair was always in the way! I hated it! When it reached passed my chest I was constantly tying my hair up in high ponytails or ridiculously messy buns! Honestly I should be used to it because this isn't my first time growing my hair that long! 

I KID YOU NOT, back in elementary my mum forced me to grow my hair long to donate to the Cancer foundation for those patients who have lost their hair so they can make a wig! At first I was reluctant because growing your hair is such a pain the butt! However I pulled through and my hair actually reached my calves! I cut my hair for Confirmation(that was in grade 7). So technically I was growing my hair back then for at least 7 years(8 if you include pre-k). I am kind of fed up with long hair so I might just stick with my current length right now. Some people say it's too short but I mean, if you like it, rock it! It's you who is going to be in that lifestyle. Don't appeal to others, only to yourself.

3) As you can tell with the picture above, yes I am donating my hair to the Cancer foundation again! When the lady asked me if I was going to donate it I said yeah! (Initially I wasn't going to but then my mum the day before I told her I was going to cut my hair told me to bring it home so we can donate it again!). 

Anyways I am loving my hair right now! The only downfall it's still not long enough to curl, but it'll get there :)! Hope you enjoyed this post about my hair.

At first I wasn't going to do anything or post anything about my hair but this is the first time I've had short hair in 4 years? I thought it was pretty significant. Well... to me! 

Anyways reese's peaces<3 

#21 'The One Place I Want To Be Right Now'

I didn't forget about this challenge. The 56 day challenge I started back in January. I stopped at number 20 because I didn't found enough time to do the next challenge. Anyways here I am continuing this challenge!\

21) The One Place I want To Be Right Now

The only one place I want to be right now is at the end of this month! That is because there will be no more finals, it'll be the end of the winter semester and the start of summer semester! I really hate this semester because I'm not doing that well however my finals are my redemption... hopefully! That's all I really can say about this challenge.

Anyways till the next challenge!

20) Favourite flavour of ice-cream

Don't think I forgot about this challenge because I didn't! It is really going to take me a long time to finish but hey sticking to my resolution. Even if its at literal as this one. I really love ice-cream and I have a bunch of favourite ones. I'm just going to list my top three because I can't really pick. They are not in any order.

  Chocolate Ice Cream. One of the basic flavours of all. Also the first flavour I ever tried. I still remember my face after trying it.     When I found out this flavour existed my mouth rejoiced also my heart. This flavour is beyond my imagination. I know this sounds weird but hey I love me some Cookies n Cream!
Ah Chunky Monkey. One of my new faves. I love the banana flavour ice-cream and the bits of walnuts makes it better. The chocolate chunks gives it a great crunch. I'm actually craving for this right now!

19) All the pets I've ever had

When I was a little girl my parents would always surprise me with a pair of gold fish. I wasn't really good at naming them because there names would be really dull. I would always name them "Goldy" because of their colour. My parents found it a hassle when they died and stopped buying my brothers and I gold fish. Skip forward a couple of years after that I received a phone call from one of my aunts. She asked if I wanted a dog for free. Of course I said yes and I asked my mother. She was thrilled because she loves dogs. However, she told me to ask my father. Here is the thing, my father doesn't like having dogs in the house because he thinks we wouldn't take care of it AND because he was bitten by a dog before. However after multiple times of begging and pestering my father gave in and my family welcomed a new member, Teddy. I wasn't expecting Teddy to look like what he is. I thought he was much smaller but that doesn't mean he wasn't cute. He adjusted to our house very well and loved everyone. He was already trained when we got him so it wasn't hard for him to let us know when he needed to pee or eat. The thing about Teddy was that he was abused when he was little. His previous owners would lock him up in the garage and never fed him. Thankfully the neighbours of the previous owners called this pet organization that fights against abuse. He was then adopted by a girl name Mary. Mary had to give Teddy up because she was moving  to an apartment that was strict on "no pets." Mary was a friend of my aunt and that's pretty much how Teddy got passed to us. I'm happy that my father said yes.

I apologize for this post for being so late! I was busy the last three days and I couldn't find myself to blog because I was so tired! But here I am back to blogging!

16) My favourite songs right now
These songs have been currently on repeat! I guess these are my favourite right about now!

15) A description of the person I dislike the most

For starters I don't really have anyone I dislike the most. I only have personality traits that I dislike the most. I honestly gave up on people who were agitating or annoying me or simply just being rude to me. I believe everyone deserves better people in their lives. If they don't like a person because they offended them, then they should just walk away. Life would be so much better with out all the unecessary tension, drama and hate you're feeling towards them and vice versa. I learned to cut people out of my life as soon as I know they're lying or that they're fake. No one needs anyone in their life that is constantly trying to bring you down or just simply bothering you. Your mind shouldn't be occupied on them 24/7. Because then you're just proving to yourself you're a hater. No one wants to become a hater. As much as you don't like the person you shouldn't define what a hater is. I lost some good friends and some bad friends but that's because I didn't feel like dealing with so much negativity. Everyone deserves better. Believe it or not. I dislike liars and people who are fake. When they lie to my face or if I find out they were lying just drives me insane. I'm a person who values honesty. I love the truth no matter how hurtful it is because lying is even more hurtful. Lying is saying "I can't trust you enough to handle this secret." When people are fake, don't even get me started. I don't understand why some people have to be like this. I come across as being straight forward and true but I still get fake people thrown at me. It does piss me off but I learned to realize that everyone in your life has a reason to be in it. No matter how horrible they are because they're meant to teach you something and leave an impact on your life. Sometimes they get overwhelming and I understand some people might even break down because of them and that's totally normal. The things you dislike in life are supposed to make you stronger. If we didn't have anything we dislike then really our lives would be bland and boring. Life is a long lesson. We're supposed to learn through the things we hate. We learn to tolerate them, we learn to be stronger, we learn how to build thick skin and we learn more about ourselves.
So really what do I dislike about people? Like I said, when they're fake and they lie. Should I avoid them? Yes, but it is definitely hard when that person acts or tries to be your friend. However, I wouldn't be who I am without all the hate and negative vibes from those people. They actually moulded me to be a better person and cautious one too.

I apologize again for the late post. I've been so busy the past couple days and things were happening and yadda-yadda. Anyways lets get to it!

14)What my greatest achievements are

Throughout my life I would say I have 3 greatest achievements. The first achievement I believe was getting a job. Even though my first job was the absolute worst, it was the best feeling ever to get that phone call back. Even after quitting my first job I was still surprised that I was able to get three more jobs after that because of the reputation my first job had. The manager wasn't really nice on giving references. EVEN, if you were the best employee. Yeah, getting my first job and then my three other jobs were great to me.
My second achievement was getting on the First Honour Roll. I say this because you needed 86.5-89.9% average. I was really happy because I'm not that bright of a student and all I did was try harder. It just goes to show how much you can achieve when you put a little heart into it.
My third achievement was being elected and chosen to be Public Relations in Student Council. This was probably the greatest feeling when I entered grade 12. You see in my school it's dominated by one race and that one race usually gets what they want. Basically they're popular and if you're going to have to be popular in order to be in student council. I was just really surprised people voted me. Also, student council changed my life and how I interact with people as well. It was a challenging but fun life experience.

11) Someone I miss

I'm always going to miss my Lolo and Lola(grandpa and grandma). Although I wasn't as close to them as I wished, I still miss them. Every time I visit them at the cemetery I always apologized for running away from them, for not talking to them and not be close to them. I still remember the day when my mother told me Lolo died and my brother who told me that Lola died. At that moment I felt guilty, ashamed and most of all sad. Sad because they died of course but sad at myself for not being close to them like my other cousins. I was so envious of my cousin, Caitlin, who was super close with my Lola. I even remember that night where I chose to stay at home to play a game with my friends instead of visiting my Lola at the hospital. I thought "she's going to get better and I can visit her anytime I want." I was so wrong and that ate me alive so much. I could have seen Lola before she died. I could have told her how much I regretted pushing her away and I wanted to start over our relationship. But I didn't. My Lolo was a different case. I was in grade three when he died and when my mother told me he passed away I cried. I cried because I didn't have a Lolo anymore(since my mother's dad passed away a long time ago). It was hard for me to connect with my Lolo because I don't think he spoke English. It was my Lola who always translated what he said to my cousins and I. Also that time Lolo was chronically sick. He would always be at the hospital. Man, do I regret not trying to salvage my relationship with my grandparents.

10) My favourite animal

This is an easy one.
I'm going to keep this short and simple.
My favourite animal would definitely have to be a baby seal.
They're so adorable and cute.
There was a time in highschool where I was really sad and I didn't know what to do. I was browsing through the internet and somehow I came across this picture

I don't know why but after I saw this picture it made my heart melt instantly and somehow I convinced myself I was going to be okay. I know this sounds really odd but that's how I got over my sad phase. Through a damn cute baby seal.

8) Biggest turn offs

My biggest turn offs would have to be several things. These things I cannot stand nor can I tolerate it. I know some of you might think I'm ridiculous but may I remind you all that people all have different things and we should learn to respect their point of views. Some of these things may not even be a big deal to some of you but they are to me.

1. I can't stand being controlled. Like I said I value freedom and to not have the power to control yourself just irks me. We were born to be ourselves and to follow whatever our hearts desire and whatever our mind craves. To not have that luxury in decision making sets me off. If someone tells me I can't do something because I'm incapable or because it's not my style really makes me angry. Who are they to tell me what I can or cannot do? I'm pretty sure I can set my own rules on what I can or cannot do because in the end you're only effecting yourself. I know some people may think "I'm just looking out for them" but if you really wanted to look out for them you would respect their decision in doing whatever they want and if they fail or if they get into trouble have their back. Be their support. They can't learn if all you do is put these fences around them and make them stay the "good sheep." I'm sure that lost sheep experienced what it was like to live outside it's shepherd's care and I'm sure that sheep learned for itself to not do that. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you don't let anyone do what they want they won't be able to learn and experience in their own way. When you learn you earn. As cheesy as that sounds it's true.
2. One thing I cannot stand are fake people. They drive me insane and especially when I catch them in the act of being fake. I know some people may think "how about when I don't like someone and I don't want to start beef and I act nice to them?" That's totally fine because that just shows how mature you are when dealing with that person. I'm talking about the fake where these girls or boys chill with the person they don't like and they talk crap about them behind their back. This is why I tend to cut fake people off early and quickly. I just don't have the time to deal with that anymore because I've dealt with that throughout my 13 years of school before post-secondary. It's honestly childish and pathetic. I rather have someone come up to me and say "I don't like you" rather than them pretending to be my friend and talk crap about me.
3. Smelly people or things. Gosh this grinds my gears. I have a really sensitive nose and if someone has a bad smell to them it makes me angry. Especially when I'm out in public and someone tries to talk to me and they have bad breath. I can't stand it nor will I learn to cope with it because everyone or at least everyone can get a toothbrush and brush their teeth. If not they can take a mint or chew gum! I get really annoyed when I smell something nasty. It ruins my mood and just brings me down.
4. Last but not least people. I don't want any of you to think that I hate people or hate social interaction. I don't its just sometimes the people I encountered with made the biggest influence on me that makes me angry or gets me super annoyed. It really bothers me when people are really loud and obnoxious. Seriously, no one wants to hear how badly you think you did on a test or that you got drunk several times and got laid. You guys can talk about that but keep your voices down low my goodness. It also bothers me when I'm at school and I see girls say "I didn't study for this" or "I'm going to do so bad." Cry me a river and build a bridge and let me cross it so I can get away from you! If you didn't study why are you in school?! If you think you're going to do bad why didn't you study?! Sometimes logic doesn't run in our society and it's driving me up the wall.

 I can go on and on about how pissed off I can get but I really don't want to seem like a "bitch." I really am a nice person and most of these things on my list are common sense basically. It sickens me that some of the people I talk to apply to these things on my list. It's not that hard to not be fake, it's not that hard to take a shower and care for your hygiene and it's not hard to gain street smarts. Wow I feel terrible writing this but I'm being true and I really appreciate people who are true and you know what they say "follow what you preach" or believe in this case.

Woo-Hoo! Even though this week is really busy I have a good feeling about this.

7) My favourite book

This is really hard because I have several books that I enjoyed. I'm trying to stay true to this question so I'll just give one that I remember and the one that impacted me the most. The book that I'm going to pick as my favourite is called: "Finding Alaska" by John Green. I don't know if this book is popular but I heard a lot of my friends and people reading this book(of course this was after reading the book and that's why I was so stoked when I found out they read it too!). Basically this book is just about this guy name Miles who's referred to as Pudge, moves to a dorm. He makes friends with his roommate known as the Colonel and they form a group that consist of: Miles, Colonel, Alaska and Takumi. They're all friends who basically drink and smoke together. Miles has this weird ability to pull out any famous last line quotes from historical or famous people. Miles gets incredibly infatuated with Alaska and she promises him she'll have sex with him if he solves this riddle about a labyrinth. That's pretty much half of the book. The other half is spoiling everything and I don't want to do that because this is actually an interesting book to read. It's not even that long. I picked this book not because of it's romance but because of the mystery and in a way its kind of relatable. Oh and because I almost lost this book and I found. "Finding Alaska." Pun intended. No? Okay.

2) What I'm Really Bad At

There are tons of things that I'm bad at. I don't think I need to say this but I'm really bad at singing and dancing but that's the least of my concern. I mean yeah it would be pretty cool if I had a great voice like my friends Vanessa, Sarah or Stephanie but I don't and I'm okay with that. I guess this question is really asking what I'm actually bad at that I feel the most "insecure" about. I put that in quotation marks because it's not something I frown upon everyday. One thing I'm really bad at is writing. My writing is atrocious. It's filled with run-on sentences, comma splices and the grammar is the cherry on this sundae. I guess this writing can go under the topic 'English.' I'm terrible at this subject. I barely get any metaphors or see the real deeper meaning in the text. I pick this because in this semester I'm in two heavily based English course and I got to say I'm doing okay. For now. I've been trying to improve by reading more books, reading aloud and even asking friends for help. It worked because a couple of my friends said that I improved within the last year. I'm glad that I am moving forward and not just sitting there like a duck.
Of course there's a lot more things that I'm really bad at but that's the one that sticks out the most.

No Worries

I decided I'm going to take up that 50 Questions a day challenge. I know I didn't finished it on my other blog so I'm going to finish it since my New Years Resolution is "Never Give up on Something." I know I'm so literal!

1) Sexual Orientation

I guess this question is asking what's my sexual orientation. I don't think I have to point out the obvious that I'm heterosexual. I don't think in all my life that I've been attracted to the same sex. Although there are times where I call girls hot such as Megan Fox or Beyonce but I'm embracing and giving credits to them. However they are hot! I also call my girl friends hot or pretty or sexy but all in all its just a loving way of me telling them to rock it! I don't think I should explain myself even more because a lot of people might get the wrong message. Gosh this is weird. Anyways I like to support everyone on their sexual orientation. You're you, whatever makes you comfortable be you. If you like men and you're a guy who cares? If you're a woman and you like girls who cares? If you like both genders who cares? Be who you are and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't let anyone knock you down just because you're being true to yourself. I have a lot of friends who are #LGBT and I'm supporting them every step in their lives. Sexual Orientation shouldn't define whether a person is good or bad. What defines a person is through their actions and their mouth. Power to you loves!
