hell is other people

I feel a bit guilty because I said I would post more but I haven't. But it's because I've been so so so busy with school and everything. So I'll just make a post or something right now I guess.

So I think I said that I was going to post some pics from my cousin's 5th birthday party and I'm too lazy to upload them so I'll just post the photo I instagrammed!


It was so cute because it was all Disney princess themed and yeah! And they were wearing princess dresses and it was just so adorable.

And then there was Winter Formal


So here's me and then me and my friend. And below is a pic that I didn't like of myself so I made us into cats with the app Catwang hahah.


Then there's some people and below is a post-Winter Formal selfie.


And thaaaat's about it. The dance was okay. I wish more of my friends went but they didn't want to (boo you) which I still don't understand! I mean like this is one of the only formal dances where you actually get the dress up and everything but maybe dressing up isn't their thing. Sigh.

And then I don't remember what day this was (a Saturday? I don't know) but the sky was cute so I took a pic of it.


I know that some people are really anti-sky pictures because they're just clouds and whatever but I personally think that they're pretty.

I had a long weekend this weekend (no school on Monday) but I spent my entire weekend studying for midterms (for my bio and math ones mostly). I'm so so so screwed for my chem one which is tomorrow which I should be studying right now but instead I'm wasting my time doing this but yeah. On the plus side, I'm not planning to use chem 12 for university admission, but on the minus side I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AND I DON'T WANT TO FAIL. Okay. So I spent a lot of time going to the Central Library which is downtown and I think it's really pretty (architecture-wise).


Okay this photo I took on the 6th floor really doesn't do this place justice but the view is nice. Hehe. Oh and when I was skytraining home, the view was even nicer!
I love when the sky gets bluey purply pinky in the evening time because it's just so pretty. I love skies. Hahaha.

Oh and I'll also post my outfit from yesterday that I instagrammed:

will write where all this shit i'm wearing is from later

I look so fucked up in that picture because I'm sick. But I like my hair colour there even though it doesn't look like that in real life! But I'm sick. Ughhhhhhhhhh. This week has been absolute hell for me. First, I was sore from PE for like 3 days because of this workout we did. Then I got sick with the cold (and I think flu too). And I got my period. And now I have pink eye!! From what my doctor said, my pink eye was from the  virus that I got sick with and it went to my eyes. So it's a viral pink eye and there's nothing much I can do about it besides wait for it to pass in about 7 days. 7 DAYS. So basically I'm going to look like I just cried/I have pink eye/I'm high for 7 days. GREAT.

And now I must studyyyyy because I have a chem midterm tomorrow, a bio midterm on Friday and a math midterm on Monday. Kill. Me. Now. BYE.

my spirit floats around in the night air

Wow I really haven't been posting lately. Well today I went to my cousin Karrie-Ann's birthday party (Disney princess themed, SO CUTE). We played a lot of games and ate a lot of food and I will post pictures tomorrow (or, if not tomorrow, then Monday because I have a lot of studying to do tomorrow for my chem test wah).

I have a chem test on Monday and I just realized how close midterms are and I'm starting to get really stressed out and everything. I'm so behind on chem and basically I left it until the last day which I honestly regret. Actually, I would go and do some chem right now but I am so tired right now I am trying so hard to keep my eyes open. And I still need to begin studying g for midterms since I didn't yet, and they're in less than 2 weeks! I'm getting so worried and stressed because these marks really count. UBC looks at term 2 marks and I need them to be high enough to get in. I'm afraid that midterms will drop my marks. I know that I have 3 midterms this year (math, bio and chem) and an English cross grade which will be an in-class essay that basically is like a midterm.

Then on Tuesday I'm going to go to the Winter Formal dance! I'm excited because I like dressing up and everything and hopefully I will post some photos afterward.

Thanks about it for now because I am just so tired. Bye.

untitled #7

Tomorrow is the first day of school back from winter break. I am not looking forward to this. I'd rather just stay on break forever and ever and ever (but I know that will never happen *cries*). This winter break felt pretty long surprisingly. I mean, normally it feels like it went by way too fast but this time it was so slow and relaxing and nice. I liked it.

I don't really have much to say. I just wanted to make a post because I'm so bored. I should be working on homework though but whatever.

Well, 68 days til spring break!

"you shall attain great wisdom with the passing years"

I feel like I haven't been posting a lot lately. Because I haven't. I think I will try to actually post things on the days that it happened rather than bunching them all into one big collective post every several days. So yeah. But for now I will have to do a (hopefully my last) collective post and yeah!

I'm trying to think of where to begin because I want to go chronologically..

Okay so (based on the date the file says I took the picture) on December 27 I painted my nails sparkly and stuff, kind of like New Years nails I guess:


I used OPI's Rainbow Connection. It's a really nice glitter nail polish in my opinion. Like, it has little circular pieces and it also has larger hexagon shaped pieces. You can easily control how glittery you want your nails by applying more coats. I decided to just paint it on plain nails (without a colour underneath.. I did put on OPI's base coat first though). If you're the type of person who likes to wipe nail polish off the brush at the rim of the nail polish bottle, I suggest you don't do that too excessively with this nail polish, because you lose a lot of hexagon pieces like that, and you only get the little ones. But yeah. My nails look so short here and sorry for my horrible cuticles. My hands and cuticles and everything have been so dry this winter season. My nails are definitely much longer now because it's been over a week. I've been taking silica supplements now (I'm not sure if it's actually working or not.. hahah) but it claims to strengthen hair, nails, and connective tissue. I used to take biotin supplements but after my bottle ran out, I never bothered to buy another one because I didn't really see that much of a difference (but then again my biotin was only like 500 mcg or 1000 mcg.. can't remember anymore!).

Then I watched some good ol' nature documentaries with milk tea.


This is BBC Life narrated by David Attenborough. I would really love to watch the entire series and also the entire series of Planet Earth but I can't find any, I guess due to copyright and legal issues. My only option is to either borrow it from the library (at the library they lend out the DVDs of the series separate, since there's like 4 separate DVDs for the 10 episodes of BBC Life) or buy it. The issue here is that if I want to borrow it from the library, the waiting line for it is sO FUCKING LONG and I want to watch it all together!! And the issue about buying it is that the special edition DVD of both BBC Life and Planet Earth (both narrated by David Attenborough) costs $100!!! I'm poor you know. Hahah. But thinking about getting that entire series makes me so happy... 17 hours of nature documentaries AHHHHHHHhhhHHhhH *faints*. Hahaha. But I talked to my dad about it and HE'S ACTUALLY CONSIDERING GETTING ME THE DVD SET OMG. I'm shocked. But I don't want him to blow $100 on this for me. Maybe I'll pay for part of it. Hehe. But if I do get it, I will spend my spring break watching it while everyone's going to the Dominican. Sigh. Well, not everyone. But for S-Trip (sounds like strip I think that's the point) stands for Student Trip and basically anyone from my senior grade can pay and go to the trip during spring break together and this year they're going to the Dominican. I don't know how many other high schools are participating but basically the people going all go together and spend spring break together and apparently it's like so much fun and partying and wah. I'm sad that I didn't sign up to go, because you had to sign up last year. The cost is like a couple thousand though which I don't know if my parents would be willing to pay for it but it's too late now.

So on New Years Eve I didn't really do anything actually. Hahah it's so sad actually, but yeah. Last year I watched Fight Club over the New Year and this year I watched The Amazing Spider-Man even though I already watched it before many times. GOD DAMN ANDREW GARFIELD IS HOT THOUGH. Hahah. But to be honest Peter Parker is supposed to look like a loser nerd but he looked like a really hot skater... Okay anyway.

On New Years day I went to dim sum with my family and grandparents in the morning. There was a weird fish in the tank at the restaurant.


The food was really good though. I liked it. We ate stuff like that lettuce wrap with the vegetable stuff inside (which I've never eaten for breakfast before, only for dinner hahah) and yeah. We got fortune cookies at the end and mine said this:


I'm not quite sure what that means but all righty.

I also made up some New Year's Resolutions that I really hope to follow this year (but don't I say this every year.. haha)

  • be happier
  • be more social
  • eat/be healthier
  • stop procastinating
  • make my parents proud
And yeah! Hehe ^_^

Then yesterday I went shopping (in fact, I went shopping for like 4 days within a week) and watched a movie with my friend Karman.

Here's my outfit (P.S. my hair looks red here.. IT ISN'T ACTUALLY RED, it was the filter Valencia ahaha):

h&m tank top, lord & taylor cardigan, j brand jeans, dolce vita ankle boots, danier leather bag

We watched Les Miserables!


It was such a good film ahhhhhhhhhh. I felt like singing everything I said after watching it. Hahah. Sometimes I think the singing got a bit long, but other than that it was so beautiful. I loved it. I had already watched the 1998 version in French class prior to my winter break, but this one was definitely way better. Haha. I actually teared up during some parts. But I didn't cry. I don't cry watching films. Okay. Haha. But still, it was so so great. I don't even know how to describe it. The music was so beautiful too. Wow. Okay.

Now I will post some clothes and other shit I got over this winter break!

 Dress from H&M that I'm planning to wear for Winter Formal with a pair of black suede wedges
 Lord & Taylor cardigan that I wore yesterday (in the outfit picture)
 Button-down blouses from (left to right) Wilfred Free, Wilfred, and Zara
 A pair of acid wash jeans from H&M
 A tank top from Club Monaco
 My 2013 Moleskine agenda!
 I've already started writing in it hehe
And my Artona group photo that my volleyball team ordered came in the mail today! We're planning to give this to our coach as a gift alongside some other things. ^_^
