Long Time

Hola! Bonjour! Hello!
It's been a long time since I've blogged hasn't it? It's that time of the year again where everyone is back to school and sadly I fall under that category of everyone. But wait, wasn't I in school in summer and I managed to blog? Yes indeed I was, however the number of courses have increased and the difficulty of these courses is, let's say, five times harder. However, don't fret my beautiful friends! Just because school is occupying most of my time doesn't mean I won't blog here and there. I do have some spare time on certain days and on those certain days I told myself I would blog, tend to my needs with beauty/fitness, DIY projects and of course resting. I had to make a timetable for myself this semester only because I'm really bad at time managing. You'd be surprise on how well you follow it after you create one! Although today isn't my spare time to blog I'm doing it anyways. Why? Because I was supposed to be at work, however I caught some nasty flu or bug and I've been sick for weeks. I'm getting better, I hope.

ANYWAYS that's enough of catching up time with me. I want to get to the actual business of this post. Which is: books!
My last two post was about me doing a book review on "Time for a Change" by Erica David. At the end of my review I said I would do an upcoming review on "Objects of Worship" by Claud Lalaumière! I have exciting news for my fellow book lovers who want some good reads! I finished this book AND I managed to finish another book "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel! So this will be a two in one book review!
(Brace yourselves, I think this will be long)

Objects of Worhship - Claud Lalumière

First of all I want to say this is not an ordinary book(it's a good thing). 
If you guys are into dark fantasy and twisted(in a good way) stories then pick up this book!
Objects of Worships contains twelve short stories that dive into different categories such as religion and god, humanity and relationship, natural environment, animals and zombies.
I was a little skeptical about reading this because of the word zombies in the synopsis but I found myself enjoying the two short stories that contained zombies.
It was hard not to turn a page when I was holding this book.
I was intrigued. From the beginning of the book to the end my curiosity of what story was about grew more and more as I completed each of the twelve stories.
Claud's writing is very unique and sophisticated.
The tone is pleasing to read and never a dull moment.
Claud knows how to end his stories with a nice finish, not allowing it to be too long.
Be warn though it's not your everyday fiction book.
Like I said it's a dark fantasy with twisted ideas!
3.5/5

Life of Pie - Yann Martel

I've always wanted to read this book. I remember two years ago I was searching for a pdf file because I was too cheap to actually buy the book.
Lucky for me my friend bought it and lent it to me(this was still two years ago).
Fast forward to now I just finished the book today and started five days ago.
I probably would've finished earlier but I only read when I'm travelling to school/work or anywhere.
Anyways I watched the movie before reading the book and I got to say I'm glad I did or I would have been kind of disappointed.
Like all movies it left out key scenes that I thought were important.
The movie is vague from my memory but by reading the book, it brought back to life of some of the scenes in the movie that were stored in my head.
Yann Martel's writing is extraordinary. My eyes followed every word and I didn't skim anything. I was infatuated how he described Pi's journey on the boat with the tiger.
He made it seem so real, picturing in my head was easy.
Like Objects of Worship it made me want to turn the page.
I was surprised each page.
I cringed, I smiled, I laughed, I even teared up reading this novel.
4/5

There you have it folks.

Be prepared next book review is:

Don't mind my sheets or my ugly thumb. 

Catch you later mes amis<3

What's the haps?

Just a little update on what's been happening with me since I have gone MIA'ing for quite a long time. I can't promise you that this won't be happening frequently because I am still in school, I'm volunteering and working. Why did I think I can juggle all of that on top of friends and family? Who knows why. Although I am getting by and I'm pushing myself everyday to become better. I'm pushing myself to actually do my homework and study.
I started working out again. Going to the gym. I do cardio and weights because when you mix those two together you have an even faster rate of burning fat. So far I've been good with it. I never miss a workout unless its a rest day, all the muscles in my body are so sore, but it's the type of good sore if you know what I mean. What motivates me to work out is kind of really weird, I do it for the burn and feeling sore the next day, I don't know why.
Lately I have been trying to get back into shows. This all happened when I finished X-Men: Days of Future Past(great movie, kinda preferred X-Men: First Class though). The show that I'm currently watching and controlling myself not to binge watch is... GAME OF THRONES! I finally caved in at the appropriate time because season 4? I believe is next and each episode is literally about shy of an hour. The only sad thing about this is I haven't read the books and I know I should read the books. I'll probably get the books after I'm done catching up because apparently the book is more vivid(that's a shocker *sarcasm). There are a lot of new shows/old shows and movies I want to catch up on this summer!
I'll probably be MIA'ing until July? Only because the last week of June is going to be a killer for me since I have a final and a paper due during that week, but after that I'm hoping to become more active AGAIN!
Yeah. Anyways I'll catch you lovelies around~
(P.S I wanna hear what you guys have been up to!!)

Butt Out!

Before I do my promise posts I just wanted to do an update post! An update on why I wasn't able to blog for about a week. The main reason why I couldn't blog was because of school and also South Park. I mentioned this in my Liebster Award post. Why am I starting to get obsessed with South Park? It's because of their new game "Stick of Truth."

I knew it was released in the beginning of the month but I recently just started playing a week ago. I couldn't contain myself after watching my brother play! I've always been a fan of South Park. Their crude jokes are my sense of humor. After completing the game in the span of two days I had an urge to start binge watching South Park. Heck right now I'm watching South Park. Pretty much what I've been doing is School, Sleep and South Park! I even managed to watch all the episodes of South Park. I seriously cannot wait for season 18! 

Besides my whole fanatic with South Park my time was also spent on school. This semester is almost coming to an end and that means finals! I'm going to admit that this semester isn't my cup of tea but thank goodness that I still have a chance to redeem myself! So my blog posts will not be as frequent but I will definitely do the requested/promised post :)!

Thanks for understanding lovelies! Have some South Park!

Fingerbang Band

Stan and Kyle are my absolute favourites.

But then again I love all of them.

Penguin

Wow I just noticed so many grammatical errors in my last post. I must have been too tired or not paying attention.

Anyways I got some good news. I completed my Red Thread story and I decided to name it Fate. As cheesy and cliche as that sounds I thought it fits well with the whole story. I don't know how I feel about this story. It is really different from my usual dark stories but hey at least this gives me some experience. I'll just provide a revised summary on my story.

• Fate is about a married couple, Charles and Lydia who go through one of the most challenging aspect in their marriage. When Lydia discovers a secret that Charles has been hiding it takes a toll on their thread and of course their relationship. The point of view in this story is done by first person. This first person is the red thread that connected Charles and Lydia together. It is up to the red thread to help Charles and Lydia get back together to show that they are destined to be with each other. 

I hope that clears any confusion about my story. I know a couple of my friends said it was hard to grasp the concept but they did like the idea of it. I just hope I executed it really well. Hopefully by Thursday night my story will be up on this blog and hopefully I'll be able to gain some feedback! 

This was my lunch earlier today.

My mom thought it would be cute if her cooking had these penguins in it.

These are actually Penguin cartooned scallops.

It was cute, I didn't want to eat it but it was so good!

I had quinoa with mixed vegetables, stir fry chicken, shrimp and scallops. 

I took a nap earlier today which probably explains why I'm blogging this late.

This was my dinner LOL.

I didn't want to eat anything heavy or filled with too much protein.

So I stuck with a light breakfast for dinner.

Whole grain toast with peanut spread(not butter) topped with banana slices.

For my drink I have my usual green tea(Tazo) milk tea in my mason jar!

Thursday is almost approaching which means I will have all the time to fix my blog, post my ootd and my promised reviews/tutorials! 

Hope everyone had a good Tuesday and hello Wednesday!

Fahrenheit

It's finally Thursday!! That means I can relax since I have a four day weekend! This time that's wrong. My midterms are next week and let me just say I'm not looking forward to it. I have a lot of work that needs to be in next week so I'm probably not going to blog for a couple of days. I really need to start focusing on school AGAIN this week and next week. However this doesn't mean I'm not going to post, I am going to start posting but not as frequent where I post three times a day.

I'm excited to post all of the things I bought the last two weeks and to show my new lay out of my room. Although I am getting furni(furniture. I like saying furni because of Habbo.) I feel like I should still post it anyways because everything is different!

I will definitely be fixing my blog! Thank you all to my readers and viewers for being patient :)!

To make things more exciting I opened up a lookbook account!

Spirited

I've spent hours trying to find a suitable blog layout and so far I'm digging this one. I love it's solid gray background and the fact that I can play around with this skin is awesome. I can add some of the things I want and I can even remove the things that bother me. I'm not really good at HTML coding. I used to be a freaking genius when it came to HTML and I learned by myself. I actually learned by playing around with the coding and manipulating. Oh and researching of course.

I'm still trying to find a suitable picture to replace my double rage and tranquility tigers. I hope this picture speaks out to some of you like it spoke out to me. I would want to go on about pictures but as you can tell its nearing 2:00AM. Why am I still awake?!

• I was trying to find a great blogskin
• I can't sleep
• I need to study for my Psychology quiz!

Take a lesson from me everyone. I am the worst procrastinator ever. Please, please, please do not follow in my bad habits. One of them is procrastination. LATER ON I will be suffering my consequences of not studying earlier or getting this done earlier. 

I just wanted to update you guys on how my blog is doing and I shared to a couple of my friends that I wanted to revamp my blog look and posts.

Wow first my room and now my blog. 

Anyways,

CHEERS EVERYONE

Whispers

Today I went to school because my reading break was over(booooo!) Sadly all good things must come to an end and therefore I am back at school. It isn't all that bad its just really hard to adjust back to my old sleeping habits. Staying up late and binge watching AHS(American Horror Story) wasn't really a good idea. Not that it scared me, it did give me chills that's for sure but I kept wondering what would happen next. Basically I was eager to finish the show! However I prioritized sleep and did that give me a good 6-8 hours of sleep? No absolutely not! I got 4-5 hours of sleep and maybe that's why I'm so drained right now! Although before I put my head in between my Psychology books I must blog! I have a couple of announcements!
BUT, before those announcements here's an OOTD!
Rustic Colours Britannia Parka - TNA  Rusty Orange Wool Cardigan - XXI  Black Basic Tee - XXI Acid Washed Gray Jeggings - XXI Shoe Laced Rubber Boots - Ross Canvas BackPack - Bentley's
I wanted to stick to two pictures as usual but I couldn't find the right pose. I liked the first two pictures but the right one barely showed any of my clothes. Despite the awkwardness and weird pose on my last two pictures I thought I'd just share it anyways. I decided to wear my hair in a bun today mostly because my hair was a hot mess. It was wavy and out of control so I tamed it with a bun. Since it was wavy it gave my bun some volume to it and it allowed it to hold together with the help of bobby pins of course! No hairspray was needed!
Okay so moving on to the announcements I have.

1. I am going to start a project video on this blog. It may end up on my YouTube channel. It may not. Who knows what my mood will be.
2. I will definitely be focusing more on fashion and make up from now but that doesn't mean I won't talk about my personal life or do "tag" questions.
3. I am changing the layout of my blog. It'll be easier to navigate but I will still have the "tagboards" but this time the tagboards will have words rather than colours!
4. I will not add the prices to any of my items anymore because sometimes I feel like the prices can scare away some people and they feel "hopeless" like they can't find any similarities or they give up. If some people would rather have me put it I will appreciate the feedback :)!
5. I will type away all my notes and ideas on this blog. I think I enjoy an online journal rather than a private one. That saying I will start to copyright and give credits to other people and to start disclaiming things. Which means in the future I will watermark my pictures and videos! 

Anyways that's all I got!

Au Revoir 

Victoria

Yesterday I was supposed to go out with my three closest friends. I haven't seen them in such a long time and we planned a special adventure. I was ready to go however, my father changed his mind and wouldn't let me go. This bothered me a lot because for starters I was ready to go, I was ready to see my friends and I was ready to explore! But my father was being protective yet again and played the "you're too young" card and "just the four of you? No adults?" card. The thing is where we were going wasn't exactly accessible just by car. He said he would be very worried about me. Of course I knew his reasons I just didn't want to accept it until now. I was pretty bummed about not going cause we planned this four days ago and all the hype and excitement was getting to me. I know my father was only looking out for me and it took me a long time to understand his decision of not letting me go. After thinking what my father had to decide for me was probably hard on him. 

Parents definitely have the hardest jobs out here in this world. They do nothing but sacrifice for their children. They would even sacrifice their children's view on them as being the coolest parents on earth if it meant to keep them safe at all cost. Even if it means that they're not cool in front of their children's friends eyes. I realized how hard I was being on my father for not letting me go out with my friends to the "adventure" plan. I know kids are always getting angry or annoyed because their parents don't let them do what they want but if anyone puts themselves in their shoes they would probably have a hard time too. "Should I be a cool parent and let them do whatever they want or a responsible one for the safety of my kid?" Every parent faces that question everyday and I know some kids won't understand it and even I'm still understanding it. Yes, parents can be cruel sometimes but in reality it's for our own good. I know I was pretty mad at my father for not letting me go but I learned to let it go because its not really worth being mad at. Especially if he was just trying to look out for me. I think it helps when we get to see the point of view of anyone's decisions. My father being a parent was only trying to do his duty. Protect and look out for his children. Even my father can be protective of my two older brothers at time. It's just a parents nature to protect their offspring because you know why? They cherish us and love us. They would do anything for us because that's love. Love is sacrifice. My dad will always sacrifice anything for my brothers and I. Even if it means that he has to sacrifice being "cool." I guess I'm not that mad or choked about this anymore because I reminded myself about what a parent does. I have so much respect for parents because like I said, they have to deal with so much with their kids. Even if they get told "I hate you" or "I never want to speak to you again" they never get discouraged because they know they're doing the right thing. 

The thing is some parents might be overwhelming for us kids and you know what? You can tell them! I remember the first time I ever opened up to my parents on how it wasn't fair because I wanted the equal treatment they gave to my brothers. It took awhile for them to accept it but they did anyways. Talking will always get to people. Yes, parents may overreact but that's their crazy way of saying "thank goodness you're alright!" Or "don't ever do that again because you scared me!" Eventually they'll have to learn to let their children grow up and they will be. However, for now it will be easier if you guys can get an understanding agreement with each other. They listen to what you say and vice versa. Parents and their kids relationship doesn't have to be complex as all the books and television advertises. Sometimes even the smallest talks can impact the parent or kid. I guess what I'm trying to say is:

If my father didn't tell me his reasons why and talked to me then I probably would've been bitter still, however I'm thankful he did because communication is the key!

Let It Go

Before any of you judge someone take a step back. Take that person with a grain of salt. I say that because people aren't really who they are. They may have reasons for doing certain things and acting differently. Yes, that person may end up offending you or even hurt you really badly. It's okay to feel angry or hurt but to call them out and accuse them can go terribly wrong. This can cause tension and worst of all drama. I think we humans forget we have one thing in our possession that we barely use to our advantage. That's communication. Communication is what connects people to one another. It gets feelings across and even the truth. Instead of getting angry at them and starting "drama" you might as well talk it out with them. Sure it may cause some awkwardness or it may even be all in your head but at least it's better to clear the uneasiness you're feeling rather than letting that uneasiness grow into hatred. I don't know how much I can stress this out. So many problems in my life were due to miscommunication or assumptions. If I knew earlier in life that communication was the key then I would've probably avoided so much drama and I could've salvaged some of my friendships. I hope this can at least help or remind some of you guys that in any relationship communication can solve almost any of your problems or at least it's a first step to solving them!

Ninety-Nine

It's finally Thursday and that means I don't have school until Tuesday! I'm so glad that I got Mondays and Fridays off, however because of my busy schedule of working, volunteering and the assignments I get from my classes it feels like my whole week is busy rather than being free. Although I would like to have some free time it makes me happy that I'm busy everyday doing something rather than nothing. It keeps me productive and it also gets me ready for what's to come in Nursing!

I'm going to start on Tuesday

As I said before on that 50 day challenge I'm really bad at writing. Particularly English which is true because I got my summary midterm back and let me just say I didn't do that hot. Although I did pass I just didn't get the grade I wanted and this was because I left out a big chunk of information from the article and didn't mention it in my summary. I knew I wasn't going to do well because of that and I accepted it, however I did lose marks on my grammar(e.g run-on sentences. I'm famous for that). I took her feedback really well and guess what lesson learned.

My next class was Bio and I had a quiz. A quiz on digestion. Let me just say that quiz was super easy not because I studied(I didn't even study) but because my old grade 12 bio teacher taught us the digestion unit so well that I remembered everything my instructor taught us. Although this bio is more in depth I still managed to answer each question without hesitation. 

Wednesday

I don't really know how I feel about Wednesday anymore. Wednesday are horrible because I have Psychology and its Statistics. The worst class ever! I don't know why Nurses need it but they do so I'm taking it. It's not that it's hard to grasp its just hard to pay attention in that class because for starters its taught in a lecture hall and I'm not a fan of that. My legs cramp, too many people and the board is too far away. However I do manage to pull my weight in that class and get high B's on the quizzes. Although this quiz I didn't do well on solely because I barely studied for this. Again, lesson learned. (But I did do very well on the homework). Did I forget to mention next class is my midterm? Fun. 

Today(Thursday)

As mentioned in the Tuesday summary I talked about writing a quiz and how easy it was. It was super easy because somehow I managed to get 23.5/25 which made me feel really happy. I guess getting a 95% in Digestion when I was in Bio 12 did it's work.

Finally my last class, Creative Writing. I have mixed emotions about this class. I have to say what I really like about this class is that its speculative. Speculative is where my stories usually land on except last semester because it was real life-fiction. Another reason why I like it is because of the workshops. I love getting feedback on my stories and I love constructed criticism on any of my work. ESPECIALLY MY STORIES. The things I don't like is that its a late class and I barely talk for the workshops which ultimately hurts my participation mark. However I managed to get by in Creative Writing last semester let's just hope I get by in this one. (Yes, I shall post the story I submitted to my class on this blog. Eventually)

I honestly don't know how I get by those classes every week but somehow I do. Anyways enough about my classes I just wanna briefly touch upon that Ben Nye - Banana Powder! I said I was going to do a review right after I used it and today I used it. However, I don't wanna review on it just yet because I actually want to provide pictures like what Kim Kardashian did! So please stay tuned! (I will be using it tomorrow and including my foundation!) Hazaah!



I know I have been playing with my pictures but let's see if anyone can see what I'm talking about.

To Do

UPDATE:

I'm finally going to complete my story where this guy helps people retrieve their memory through his power by fixing their "filmstrip." I'm going to submit this story for my character development story due tomorrow. How do I feel about it? I'm panicking because I don't know how to incorporate character development in this story. I don't even know how to end this story but I'm pretty damn excited. I'm excited that I'm going to finish this story because I've been procrastinating and working super slow on this story. Hooray for deadlines. I guess.

I'm slowly starting to get back into my school phase. Basically what this means is that I'm taking it seriously and I've been writing in my agenda everyday to remind me that I have to do stuff. I've been redoing my notes so I can understand the material and lessons that I learned in my classes. Most of all I've been studying too.

I know I have this problem when I'm with people. I usually like to keep to myself because I have this mentality: "being alone is good because you get a lot of things done." I know the workload isn't smaller but hey you only have yourself when you're really alone. It's kind of like a training and learning process. Anyways what I'm trying to get at is I'm slowly crawling out of that mentality. I don't want to but I realized I do need a course buddy in all of my courses. Just so I can compare my answers and to make new friends. New friends are nice. So far I've completed making new friends so I'm happy. Cheers.

Wow that last paragraph made me sound like a total loser and a dork. Hell, I'll admit it I am dork. Loser? I don't know maybe. I guess. Call me what you want I really don't care.

I'm enjoying this because it is occupying my free time, however that's not all. Volunteer.

Volunteer has been great. The nurses I volunteer with are amazing. They're so kind and helpful. They even want me to succeed and enjoy my company. When you surround yourself with positive people you start to feel positive. You just got to let their positiveness take control of your mood and you'll start to see the light in life.

Work has also been great. Somewhat. Work has been work. I say that because most of the coworkers that I love working with haven't been working with me lately. We're all back in school and doing our daily things in life. Other than that work has been work!

Basically everything in life is just going with the flow.
And so am I.

Change

You know those days where all you want to do is just lie in bed and do nothing? Where you just want to be alone with your thoughts while staring at the ceiling or wall? 

I do.

Old

I just went through my old conversation in my inbox on Facebook with some of my past friends and all I got to say is "wow." I was so captivated and infatuated by this guy that I barely even knew. There was definitely a time where we both were interested in each other but something just happened. Reading my efforts makes me cringe and it makes me want to travel in time and slap the living hell out of me for being so stupid. I couldn't get the hints or the tone of his "typing." At least now I have someone who cares about me and who loves me for who I am. I don't have to put a lot of effort because we both put effort.

Trigger

A sequel on haters. This is mostly about blowing steam off and how it helps me to overcome "my haters." Everyone has their own ways to deal with haters, this is my way! Hopefully this helps anyone or helps you maintain your composure around your haters!

Sworn

I haven't blogged for quite a few days lately and its all because of school and work. I've been drained physically and kind of mentally, but in a good way. This is allowing me to use up all my free time and just catch up on things that actually matter in life.

School has taken its toll on my body, mind, soul and definitely on my wallet. Actually my parent's wallet. Anyways its really a good thing. I used to dread going to school throughout my entire 13 years of school from preschool to elementary to high school. Now that I'm in college I sort of appreciate going to school. Sort of. It's just my schedule is kind of hard to adjust to but I'm getting there. Meeting new people and taking actual classes that I enjoy and want to excel in is awesome too. I'm just glad tomorrow is the end of my semester one. Although I did pretty crappy this semester, I have a feeling that I'm going to do really well in Winter Semester.

Work has been great. I cannot stress the fact that all my coworkers are chill and friendly. Even the hardworking strict coworkers are friendly. They aren't there to compete with you or fight you for a customer, no. They are actually there to help you do your job and to have good vibes. I really enjoy working at my job but no, I would not go further into it, of course not. I wouldn't want to be around clothes for the rest of my life. I rather be around patients and be in a hospital serving people. Yeah, I'm still hooked on becoming a nurse. But yeah work is great. Tomorrow is Black Friday, I cannot. I cannot fricken wait. Sarcasm.

Since I was on the topic of hospitals and becoming a nurse, I myself finally got a position to volunteer at the hospital I wanted. I am excited to volunteer in an environment that I will be in within 6 years hopefully. If God wills it. However this has to be a sign from the big Guy up there. I've been waiting for an opportunity like this and wala, here is one! Cheers to you Lord! I finally got the program that I wanted to volunteer in too! I'm going to be taking care of some patients who just came out of surgery and cleaning the rooms. Everything a nurse sorta does besides all the medical stuff. I'm quite stoked actually.

Anyways yeah that's my life so far. I also have been enticed by shopping. I have literally bought at least something other than food whenever I go to the mall or some clothing store street strip. This week I bought new tights, new shoes and new pants. Speaking of new shoes I am getting the Leita's by JC! I cannot wait! I have been dreaming of owning a pair of JC's other than Hunter Boots. I cannot. I cannot!

But yeah, cheers to a busy life with good vibes accompanied by awesome people under the protection of God! Amen, Amen!

Oh yeah, I got new glasses!

Good bye to my Gucci

Hello to my new Chanel<3!

Growing Up

Wow did I have a busy day today. Since I haven't done a wall of text ranting about my life and day I shall start now rather than a video or a stream of pictures. Anyways lets get to it.

This morning was the worst.  Just kidding. It's just always terrible for me to wake up this early especially on a Friday, but at least its a morning class. Today's Psychology class was actually pretty damn interesting. We learned about Psychological Disorders: Schizophrenia and Personality Disorders. I didn't fall asleep nor was I texting the whole time during my class which was good. I managed to finish my paper which I'm so happy. This morning however, I forgot to add my abstract and I quickly rushed into an abstract. It was probably filled with poor grammar and awkward sentences but oh well, at least I managed to make an abstract within 6 minutes before my class started. My paper was about "Why Mothers Kill." I found the research to be quite interesting and if anyone is curious I suggest you look up a reading journal or articles!

After Psychology class I went to meet Kathleen and Nathan up so we can have our "monthly" lunch date! Last time we went to have Sushi and it was my turn to pick a place so I picked this awesome place that my friend recommended. I liked their food it was good and their service was awesome. However kind of pricey though.

Yey!

 Fish n Frites - Cod 

$12

Nathan, Kathleen & I!

After our lunch date I decided to go Thrift Shopping because I haven't done that in a while and I was curious on what they had. I got a couple of things however I didn't take a picture with most of the things I bought. They were having this 50% off sale which was totally amazing, I knew I had to buy things.

I bought...

• Violet Turtle Neck -$4
• Striped Tee - $1
• Cropped Muscle Black Tee - $3
• Floral Mid Waist Button Up - $2 
• Waisted Tee Turtle Neck - $3

 Waisted Tee Turtle Neck

 Violet Turtle Neck Sweater

I got everything between the gray turtle neck and the plaid hoodie

After that Thrift Shopping Spree I spent $16 overall and I'm quite happy with my purchase. I went to the mall to get my new glasses and to pick up some contacts. Also to do a little shopping of my own. I got my glasses. Yes I did take a picture with them but I'll leave it as a mystery for now! I got my contacts which was $150 down the drain. I met up with my friends and we got some qoola and ate at a Chinese restaurant!

Finally after filling our bellies up we decided to go to XXI. Our friend works there and I picked up some awesome deals. One was striped shorts. I got it for $6 and the original price was $30. I also got a cardigan shall which was $23 but reduced to $10! I am actually so happy I found those two. Then I went to H&M. I bought this maroon skirt and a burgundy skirt. I also picked up the disco knock off pants! It came to $60 altogether which I think is pretty awesome. 

I'll probably do a haul later on or something. I even bought stuff from yesterday as well. I plan to buy more tomorrow, I don't know. I have a problem HAHA!

I'm so exhausted and cold.

Literally got 3 blankets on me.

Trying to finish my research paper and start my essay.

They are due in 2-3 days. 

LIFE.

ICE ICE BABY

I have no idea why I'm happy right now. Everything just seems to be falling in it's place. I'm so thankful. I'm so blessed but I'm also stressed. I'm too happy to care about problems and everything negative is on the bottom of my list. Everything that shouldn't need caring is in the back of my mind. I know I already did a video on this but I can't stress the fact that I'm too happy right now. It's not like I'm bragging or boasting, I'm trying to send out a message because I believe my video was just not "serious". I feel better when I'm typing this out because I know I can say things properly and I won't have to stutter.

When you focus on all your blessings and look at all the positive things in life you tend to see all the happy things and life sort of gets better for you. It's only sort of because it's how you react to it. Most people just accept the "sort of" and this is why they slowly fall back into feeling "crappy". For me I just kept reminding myself how much I'm having it good. If you keep counting how happy you are then yes, everything will slowly start to fall where you want it to be. It may not be efficient because happiness takes days, months or years to accomplish.

For me, I just dismiss all the negative. The problem with us is we believe ignoring our problems will sort it out, no. It doesn't. It just makes it worst. Dismissing isn't the same as ignoring. When you dismiss something you are checking it out seeing if its good, allowing it to affect you, learning from it and letting it go. We all need to be a sponge. Absorb all the negative and problems that's being thrown at us and just let it go slowly. Because if we don't have those negative things in life, how will we be better people? How will we know to overcome similar problems?

I used to be so fixated on drama. I used to thrive on it. I know it sounds sad. But that was also the reason why I felt so empty, jealous, angry and always sad. I learned to let go and slowly all those emotions went away. Yeah I still feel jealousy and hatred but it's so minuscule. I barely feel it.

So to the people who still have drama with me, who hate me, who despise me, who can't stand me, who don't even like me just because
chucking up my deuces
Everyone should do that. No one is worth your time unless they love you. No one is worth your attention when all they want to do is bring you down. No one is worth your rants unless you truly care about their opinion.

I wanna thank God, for allowing me to be strong.  

VANILLA THRILLA

I thought I'd change it up.

Totally meant to say yesterday! Oh well

I know I missed blogging but school and work has been hectic right now. I totally forgot I had a midterm yesterday so I totally bombed that exam. Why does it take me so long for me to realize college isn't high school? I'm not trying as hard as I want to and as result my marks are taking a toll on that. I know for sure next semester I'll definitely try harder, I think.

Yesterday was my first actual real shift and I gotta say it wasn't as bad I thought it would be. It was definitely nerve-wrecking but I got used to it and since I'm working again today I guess I'll be used to it more. During my shift my friends visited me and invited me to a movie: Thor - The Dark World. Holy crap it was such a good movie but I didn't even watch the first one. I'm watching it right now actually. It's pretty awesome so far but I didn't know Thor was such an ass. I prefer Loki more though. Before my shift I went on a shopping spree and bought quite a few things. I'll post what I purchase later on tonight!
