nothing much

Yesterday my friend and I went to the Khatsalano Music + Art Festival. We didn't stay for very long, we just strolled down a few blocks and then headed back up. It was pretty crowded and hot. I didn't buy anything since we were there so briefly. I kind of wish we stayed a bit longer and actually took a closer look at different vendors.

I didn't take any pictures but the only picture I took that day was at American Apparel and the quality is shit because I took it on snapchat and then saved it.

topshop shirt, american apparel shorts, american eagle sandals, american apparel backpack (can't see it here though lol)

Afterwards we headed downtown and picked up job application forms at Forever 21. I'm still a bit hesitant to apply there because of all the horrible employee reviews of bitchy managers and being treated like shit but at this point I'm pretty much desperate to start making some money and Forever 21 is obviously always hiring. I mean it seems exciting working on Robson but I'm still not sure. But anyway, after that we went to Brandy Melville because I'm still trying to buy back that bustier tank top shirt with the triangle cut-outs in the back (I bought it a while ago, found that the straps were sewn twisted, and returned it). Every time I go to Brandy it's out of stock. Ugh. There was actually one time when I went, and it was in stock, and I found one where the straps were actually sewn on straight but I was dumb and decided not to buy it because I was having one of my 'I need to save money' phases. I'm glad Brandy always has the same times in stock and that they always restock though!

We also indulged in a New York Fries poutine afterwards because we haven't had one since spring break!! During spring break we had this huge poutine obsession and ate so much and tried all these different flavours and wow we were really living the fat life. But honestly eating that poutine yesterday makes me feel like I've rekindled my love for poutines which isn't exactly a good thing considering I'm trying to start being fit and eating healthy! I've actually planned out this whole schedule and everything for workouts and jogging this summer and I really hope I can manage to follow throuh on it because I'm the type of person who really loves to make lists and plan things out but I just can't seem to get to the doing part of it. I mean like I went jogging last week so that's a start!! I think. But yeah I'm going to definitely try to go out jogging more (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). I'm gonna start out slow with maybe 30 min jogs and go up from there. But yeah. And since the weather this summer has been so so so nice, I have no excuse not to run!

Ooh and this coming Tuesday I think I'm gonna go and watch The Conjuring with some friends. I used to be terrified of horror movies but now I actually love them even though I'm like panicking while watching them. Hahaha. I watched The Devil Inside on Netflix bc Netflix is like my best friend now and I'm surprised I made it through the whole film since I DO NOT DO EXORCISM MOVIES but yeah. And today I watched The Mist (I already read the novella by Stephen King a while ago) and the ending made me so mad. I don't know. I think I yelled at the TV a lot while watching it because NORTON IS A FUCKING STUBBORN CUNT AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT THAT ANNOYING LITTLE BITCH MRS. CARMODY. Um anyway yeah and next week I'm gonna watch the Bling Ring too because I love Sofia Coppola.

Anyway that's about it. Bye!

a$ap

I'm proud to say that I did a lot of cleaning today! I finally cleaned up my desk aka makeup table (tbh I don't use my desk in my room for homework or studying at all and you can clearly see why) however knowing me, it will look like that again within a week. I just don't have the time to put things back where they belong, I prefer to just drop it on the table and move on. But anyway I also cleaned up my shelves in my room and tossed out a bunch of really old stuff from way back (like grade 7 stuff wow) so now my shelves look pretty empty and sad but whatever. I hate cleaning my room but when I do, the things I find are always so interesting. I found my diary from grade 9 which was filled with stuff about boys and crushes and I literally cringed while reading it because it's like that thing where it's like:

friend: hey remember when you used to like-
me: those were dark times ok

But anyway, I've been playing Animal Crossing: Wild World on my DS lately again. Hahahaha it's so sad but idk it's kind of fun again. I don't like my town name or my character name because I made it ages ago and I really wish I could rename them but the only way to is to reset my town but I don't wanna do that because my house is fucking huge cause I spent so much time on it and I have so many villagers' pictures and AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. Yeah... so I'll just stick with my town called Coolbean *cringe*.

Um ya that's about it. See yaaaaaa

same shit, different day

I'm trying to look cute or whatever not smiling in my Brandy Melville shirt but idk tbh because I can never take a good photo of myself not smiling. I feel like I look weird. Whatever.

On Monday I went out for a jog!! I am so proud of myself because me and jogging just do not go together. I went my school/community centre's track and I don't know how many laps I did but I ran for about 20 minutes before I gave up. That's not bad for a beginner I'd say. Hahahaha I'm just trying to make myself feel better. But it was really fucking hot that day and I was dumb and decided to run at like 1 pm which I believe is basically the hottest time of day so yeah. My face was so gross and red afterwards and obviously I didn't have makeup on so I just looked like a mess to say the least. I mean like afterward I was all like, wow good job Jasmine that wasn't that bad yay but tbh during the run I felt like I was dying or something. I think I'm going to go out for another run tomorrow, and this time I'll go in the morning right after I wake up!! I'm feeling so motivated after looking at some of those fitness inspiration instagrams hahahaha let's see how long I last. I've also tried to eat healthier lately and I've been eating tons and fruits and drinking more water so yay meee

That's about it. I think I'm going to go to bed now because I'm feeling tired for some reason even though this is very early for me.

P.S. FLUME IS COMING TO VANCOUVER ON AUG 31 WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE DAY OF MY COUSIN'S WEDDING. Whyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ughhhh my life sucks

sigh @ life

Today we had a barbecue with some people from school. It was meant to be larger but not very many people showed up, maybe around 20? Or a bit more, but towards the end, a lot of people had left. It was kind of awkward because I didn't talk to a lot of them, but we all kind of talked as a group and their conversations were interesting I guess. They're pretty funny people, but I didn't say much. And I didn't take any photos except for that photo of the sky as I walked home, but yeah. The weather kind of sucked. Well, it was okay, but out of all the sunny days this week, the barbecue was on the one somewhat cloudy day. I think the temperature was only like 21 degrees too. Ugh. But that's about it.

your drums, your love

They were playing this at Topshop so I quickly went on SoundHound on my phone to find the song. Hahaha but I've been listening to it nonstop lately. It's beautiful.

stay gold

Yesterday I went to see the Canada Day fireworks with my friends Jalene and Layssa! We went to English Bay at first (there's a pic of the sunset from the beach ^_^) because we thought the fireworks would be here but then this homeless looking guy was going around telling people that the fireworks aren't here and then we found out that they were all the way on the opposite end at Canada Place. So we cabbed over there with a fucking crazy cab driver who sped and got us there in like 5 minutes. Hahah. I also remember while we were waiting for a cab some guy said to me something along the lines of "damn, I like sushi".....

Anyway, here are some firework pics I took:

After that we went to eat at Guu Garden which is a Japanese Restaurant downtown at around midnight. The place still had a lot of people there surprisingly. I got a salad (forgot what it was called) but it was a prawn and avocado salad with wasabi dressing. It tasted good at first, but then I started getting sick of it. Maybe because it was so... heavy? Because of the avocado and dressing and everything. But the service wasn't that good. The waitress we got barely spoke English and they took forever to prepare our food. But yeah.

When I got home it was almost 2 am and I hadn't felt so tired in a while. For the first time in a long time, I fell asleep right when I got in bed.

Today I was supposed to go to the beach but one of my friends bailed so we decided to go on Thursday instead. I'm actually okay with not going to the beach today because despite the fact that it's so nice out, I'm so lazy and tired from yesterday. Hahah. And then tomorrow I'm going to dimsum with some friends. ^_^ I still gotta go to the night market some more, and also go to Playland!! I still have the whole summer ahead of me. Ahhhh it makes me feel so happy and relaxed knowing this. I feel like this summer I'm going out so much more because a) NO SUMMER SCHOOL!! and b) I feel like I'm getting old and I'm not gonna be young forever. And yeah.

That's about it. Bye for nowww

no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself

Here's a panorama pic I took of the view of the sky and the Vancouver Convention Centre on Saturday.

topshop shirt, vintage levi shorts, lord & taylor cardigan, nine west boots, danier leather bag

On Saturday I went shopping downtown with a couple friends. There's a sale going on at Topshop right now so we checked it out. I found a lot of simple things I thought were nice but I decided not to buy anything because I'm trying to save money until I find a job. I haven't applied anywhere yet but at this point I think I'm gonna apply at Forever 21 because I'm so desperate even though I heard it's horrible working there. Once I start making money, I can't wait to go shopping. Heheh. But that is, if I get the job of course.

I tried on a dress at Brandy Melville too, and I think I'm gonna go back to buy it. It's a plain black dress with kind of a cut out in the back.

We also went to the Warehouse at Gastown. While walking around, I realized how beautiful it is there. I don't know. It's just such a nice looking place. It makes me want to spend this summer walking around and doing nothing. Afterwards we went and looked at the view by the Vancouver Convention Centre and just sat there and talked for a while. We were thinking about going to the Richmond night market afterward but we didn't. But I love how summer nights are so warm and the sun's still up.

Lately it has been so hot and sunny. I love it even though I keep complaining about how hot and sweaty and gross I feel and how I feel like I'm about to die. But look at this!!

Ahhhhhhh this makes me so happy. I'm gonna go to the beach tomorrow and I can't wait! I'll probably bring my disposable camera because I still have a lot of shots left on the roll because I didn't take many pictures during prom.

That's about it. Sorry if this post was stupid and my writing was dumb. I'm really distracted right now watching Family Guy. Okay bye for now!
