playlist: gurlworld



A mix composed of girl bands and girl singers and songwriters with pretty voices. Basically, a playlist of lovely songs with lovely voices.

P.S. I know that Seapony is not a girl band but the vocals are sung by a girl (Jen) and her voice is really super lovely (how many times have I used the word lovely ugh)

flower gurl


I painted my nails and I'm happy. I used OPI's Natural Nail Base Coat, Revlon's Lilac Pastelle, OPI's Alpine Snow (for the petals), Revlon's Electric (for the flower's center), and OPI's Top Coat. This was kind of a first-time-test-out-painting-some-flowers kind of thing, so I know they're not perfect (*looks at middle finger's larger flower because I kind of messed up and had to enlarge it to cover up the ugliness*...) but from afar I think they look all right. Plus I've gotten plenty of compliments on them on how cute they are, so I'm content with my nails.

I'm still trying to grow out my nails, since I'm trying to get over my nail-picking habit. It seems so simply to just stop picking at my nails, but I guess not. It's just that I get horribly bored at school and without thinking, I just start picking at my nails. It's horrible and it makes me mad. Hopefully I'll someday break this habit.

playlist: boy of my dreams



Made another mix and right now I can't get the song 'Paradise' by Coldplay out of my head. Sigh

untitled #1

I made a page for my list of books that I am planning to read which you can view here. I've also put a link to it on my side bar along with the links to other stuff and whatnot (that I wrote with my purposeful childish cutesy handwriting) so you can access it if you want (but you probably won't want to). Anyway, I will continue to update it throughout the life of this blog, which I must say is probably one of the longest running blogs (besides tumblr but to be honest I don't consider tumblr to be a true blog, as in I see it as merely just a collection of photos and text and most of which do not actually reflect myself personally, as much as this blogspot does) I've kept to date.
P.S. if you have any novel recommendations please, please comment on my 'books to read' page because I'd love to know some more good books

playlist: i could be happy


I made a mixed tape on my 8tracks of songs you can listen to when you don't feel like doing anything

denim dreams


I got this denim backpack from American Apparel a while ago yet I still haven't used it. Rather, I received this bag from somebody as a gift, but I'll just tag this under purchase anyway. As lovely and pretty and cute and pretty and wonderful this backpack is, and as much as I would love to use it at school (and show it off ahem), I swear, this bag will probably break soon if I do. I mean, it's so cute and pretty and all those other adjectives I used, which obviously makes people gravitate towards it (like I did), but the material is so thin. Too thin. When I felt it the first time, I knew right away that my dreams of wearing this to school would be over. I mean, I usually carry binders and textbooks and notebooks etc etc in my backpack and I always carelessly shove and cram them into my bag as soon as the bell rings, and I can just imagine one day the binder corners ripping through the bag after countless wear.

Sadly, I tried to get it returned for store credit, but they said this was final sale. But I guess I could use this bag on a light day when I don't have to carry many things. Or use it during exam weeks. Okay at least it's cute.

Edit 03/26/12: I've been using this backpack since January now and I actually gotta say, this backpack is actually pretty good so far for school. Daily, I carry a 1-inch binder, Five Star notebook, and a bunch of other things such as my pencil case, lunch, small books, etc etc and I have to admit this backpack is more sturdier than I previously thought. Anyway, now I'm thinking, imagine if I had an acid wash backpack.. Sigh
