we are golden

Wow I just realized that I haven't done an outfit post for ages. Well, that's because every morning I'm so busy rushing and trying not to be late and so I have, like, no time to take a picture of my outfit. Then afterschool I usually have volleyball practice or a game so by the time I get home I'm still in my volleyball stuff and all sweaty and gross and tired. But yeah. Yesterday I had no school and I went shopping with my sister so I finally took some outfit photos!

american apparel sweater, tna leggings, tna parka, vintage necklace, thrifted bag, nine west boots

I went shopping on Main Street and then headed downtown. I went to Front & Company (a really great consignment store) and I bought a vintagey-looking 90's style silk bomber jacket with ropes and chain prints on it. Also, I bought 3 bras from La Senza because they're having, like, this sale thing where you get $10 off a regular priced bra so I got them for like $11-$14 each so yay! Haha and I also finally bought one of those Featherlite bras (the ones that you just, well, stick on) from La Vie en Rose (because it was $40 and the cheapest I could find) for my backless dress for grad photos!

Speaking of those Artona photos, they're coming up so soon. Adkdjklgfd I'm actually getting a bit freaked out. I mean, I already bought my shoes (I'll post them maybe tomorrow because I took photos of all my recent purchases today but I'm just too lazy to upload them) and everything but I haven't booked my hair and makeup yet so I'm a bit worried about that! I mean, my cousin is going to be doing my hair for both days I have group photos but I'm not sure if I should get it done at a salon for my individual photo session which is on a separate day. Plus, I still need to book an appointment to get my makeup done. I think I'm just going to go to MAC or something but I'm still not entirely sure what kind of makeup I want. Like, I feel like I should just go for like more natural eye makeup like maybe a really subtle and soft smokey eye but I'm afraid they're going to... well, over-do it? Because I feel like eyeshadow looks horrible on my eyes (the way I apply it, at least) so I'm praying that a professional will be able to make it actually look good.

So lately, I've been obsessing over Make It Or Break It. I remember when during the spring break of 2011 I watched all the episodes of MIOBI (well, that were released at the time) and I watched all of season 1 and 2 and I was waiting for season 3 which wasn't scheduled to be released until, like, a year later and I was devastated. So a year passed and I grew out of my MIOBI obsession and I never bothered to watch season 3 despite the fact that it aired like over half a year ago. So now, I have rewatched all of season 1, and I am currently on episode 15 of season 2, and I am making my way up to season 3 which I am now really excited to watch! Hehe. And my obsession over it has come back because now I can't stop talking about it with my sister who is also rewatching it too (in her own time). Oh god I'm such a loser but I can't help it! I'm planning to rewatch The O.C. this winter break or spring break too! Heheh.

Well, I'm tired, since I came back from a family party too. And I have planned out a huge schedule for tomorrow. I have my whole day planned out from the minute I wake up at 8:30 am until about 8:00 pm. I have everything written there as to what homework I will do and for how long and I even included breaks to watch 3 MIOBI episodes. ^_^

Okay, bye!

Saw these cute nails on my tumblr dashboard and I just had to post them. Wow I wish I could do my nails remotely as pretty as this. Sigh.

And on recent news, I just came back from the doctor's and apparently I have a mild case of food poisoning. Great. And I might have to give a poo sample for lab analysis hahahahahahahahaha

untitled #4

Life honestly sucks right now. I feel like shit right now. Yesterday I felt even shittier. On Saturday night I went out for all you can eat sushi at Kingsway Sushi with some girls from my volleyball team and we ate. At lot. Then we went over to one of their houses and watched 'Panic Room' together (well, kind of, because we left like half an hour before the movie ended). When I got home, it was almost 12 am. I perfectly fine, watching TV and everything, and at around 1 am I began to notice that I had a little bit of a stomachache. I thought it was no big deal because my stomach usually feels a bit weird after eating a lot of sushi. But then my stomachache started getting worse and worse to the point where I went to the bathroom but it didn't work and my stomach just hurt so badly. So I told my parents and they told me to just keep trying to go to the bathroom and I did. So I remember going to the bathroom and then lying back down on my bed for maybe 15 minutes and then going back to the bathroom for a while and then going back to my bed and this continued for hours. And my parents were actually considering taking me to a 24 hour walk-in clinic or the hospital or something. And then finally I.. okay this is gross but I finally diarrhea'ed and my stomach felt much better and by then it was 5 am. Then the next day I didn't get up until 2 pm but my stomach still felt a bit weird. In fact now, Monday, my stomach still feels a bit weird. Ugh. And so that made me feel like shit. And then I also felt like shit yesterday because I didn't understand a lot of my calculus review on limits and I have a test tomorrow but I need to hand in my review today. So I'm just going to ask my teacher for help (for once because to be honest I don't like my teacher because he's so patronizing and condescending). And also even though my stomach is feeling much much better my mom still wants me to go to the doctor so she wants to book an appointment but I have volleyball practice today, Wednesday, and Thursday and a game tomorrow. And the fucking ugly rainy shitty weather isn't making things better either. And I'm supposed to be doing my English homework that I forgot about that's due today right now during my free block. But I'm doing this instead. Fuck.

Why do such cute Nasty Gal dresses have to be so expensive?! Wah. The first dress, called the Lulu Dress is so gorgeous and I really want to buy it and wear it to Winter Formal or something (that is, if we have one this year) but the price of it is $135 which I cannot afford. Ugh. And then there's the second dress, the Together Again Dress and it's so simple yet sweet but $150 which is not so sweet. And then the Censored Skater Dress which is honestly one of the most cute and unique dresses I've ever seen (and part of the first Nasty Gal Collection!) is $128. And then I stumble upon the Sweet Silk Dress which looks so plain yet lovely and something so plain I would've expected to be more affordable but nope, it's $268.. IF ONLY I WAS RICH.

my soul was filled with crystal light

So I'm waiting for my Make It Or Break It video to load and everything (it takes forever *cries*) so I decided to look through my phone's photos and post some schtuff! And behold, this rainbow light thing at my friend's house from a couple weeks ago! Ahah I thought it was pretty so I took a picture of it and then I thought to myself "I'm gonna do one of those tumblr pics of a hand and a rainbow just 'cause!" So uh I did just that. I'm lame, I know.

And while we're on the topic of pretty things, I found these two photos of the sky from like exactly one year ago on this day and wow it's so pretty. I don't even remember taking it but to be honest it's not everyday I see the sky like this. Maybe because I don't look outside in the evening. Hmm. Oh well.

And here's a picture of me in the change room at a tournament just last Friday! As in the Friday that was two days ago. Unfortunately we came in 2nd place in the tournament but we still got cake (a chocolate cake with Kit Kat and strawberries and raspberries on top! SO YUMMY) and we had so much fun in the last game because we had already played so many games and we were all tired and starving and done. Hahah. We were laughing so hard on court at our own mistakes and it was just so funny and sad. But yeah.

FUCKS SAKE MY MIOBI VIDS HAVEN'T FINISHED LOADING YET. Ya know what? I'm gonna do some calculus homework. Okay bye.

P.S. look at my foot tan line oh gosh

Negative Space by Mungo Thomson

Wow can I just please have something like this painted on one of my room walls? Or all of my room walls? Or all the walls in my house? This is just so beautiful.

je suis la femme de ma vie

veromato, me

Found this in my drafts from a while back, but I had completely forgotten about it! Since I feel like I haven't posted in a while, I suppose I'll post it now and give a quick update.

I've been so busy with volleyball lately that it's insane. This week, I have had volleyball every single day of the week (well, excluding the weekend). It went like:
Monday: practice
Tuesday: game
Wednesday: practice
Thursday: game
Friday: tournament

So hectic and did I mention I had tests and quizzes and presentations this week too?! But unlike last year, I actually enjoy volleyball now. Like, I don't know if it was my team last year, or the coach, or both, but this year I find myself actually looking forward to practices and games now! Last year, I think I was intimidated by the grade 12s (because the senior team is comprised of grade 11s and 12s) and the coach seemed to favour the better players. I mean, I don't blame my coach for favouring the better players because, well, they're better and she should focus more on them since she puts them in the game more, but me being, well, not as strong in volleyball (since I don't play club), my coach basically ignored me and it seemed like she didn't want to waste her energy on me. Like, seriously? I mean, I get that I'm not as good, but the least she could have done was help me to succeed and do better. But nope, she basically pushed me and my friend (who also wasn't as skilled as the other players) aside and didn't even bother with us. However this year, I'm actually on the starting lineup, and I actually like my team because I don't feel looked down upon by other players, AND I DON'T GET LOOKED DOWN UPON BY MY COACH. That is a huge thing that differs between last year and this year in my opinion. This year, I feel like my coach actually tries to help each and every one of us with our own struggles (for me, my serving) and he is actually funny and makes practices and games enjoyable. Plus he calls us stupid kids ahaha.

Anyway, enough with this huge sprouting of volleyball-related things.

So, in English class, we're currently reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. Well, I kind of read ahead and finished the book, while the rest of the class is still on, like, page 30-something. To be honest though, the book was already spoiled for me when I was googling some things about Lennie and first, (I'm trying to word it so that I don't spoil it for others haha) what Lennie did got spoiled, and then I said to my friend "Oh my god, the book was spoiled for me." And little did I know, there was still another huge event in the book, and my friend spoiled it for me by saying "Oh, me too! The part where George ___, right?!" And I'm like "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? GEORGE ___?!?!?!?!?!" So yeah, it sucks when that happens, but I was going to read it anyway, I suppose. But anyway, I actually enjoyed the book. Like, the beginning was a bit slow in my opinion, but as the book progressed, I was really enjoying it.

And speaking of enjoying things (okay that sounded weird), my math tutor explained some calculus to me about limits and I kind of get it now and I was actually enjoying the homework on limits (well, the introduction to it, BUT REGARDLESS)!!! Haha hopefully I will do better on the limits test, considering I got 55% on my functions test. Oh gosh. I really need to catch up on my limits homework though, I'm really falling behind in calculus. But I will use this long weekend (since it's Thanksgiving) to catch up. Hopefully.

Okay well, I'm gonna end this here.
