and back to reality..

Sunday, February 26, 2012

Crap, this reading week went by WAAAAY too fast. I didn't get everything I wanted accomplished, but still I believe it was very well spent. I just got home from hanging out with the usuals and I can't help but feel depressed. Really! I sorta have that feeling when you reach the end of a really amazing anime series like Shaman King! (and I don't know why it has to be an anime. It feels more right than saying any kind of series ahah.) I guess it's because I know that starting this week a lot of hectic events and late nights at school will be happening from all the shows going on each week after another. I guess when it comes to the actual shows everything will be fun.

It's also gonna be REALLY weird because for the past week I saw Bryan like every single day for the whole day or at least half! And now it's gonna be either I don't see him, or I see him for like an hour or so, which is better than nothing I guess.
I really needed this week to just relax and feel somewhat free. Otherwise I would've gone completely insane! I probably won't feel like I have a life again until April. I won't be done school yet, but that's basically when this marathon of shows and rehearsals will end.

Le sigh.

Collar trend

Friday, February 24, 2012

I started watching Flakes today with Bryan on Netflix. We picked it mostly because Zooey Deschannel was in it! We love her! :D We're about half way through and it's not bad so far.

One of the things I've been noticing is the way she is dressed in the movie. I love her style!
This outfit caught my eye the most for various reasons...



First, I loved how vintage like her outfit is and how it suits the movie very well. I could not find a full body picture of it, but I did like the use of colour blocking with the pink dress she wore and blue tights. Then my attention went towards her collar. To me it put the whole outfit together. It reminded me about the Peter Pan collar trend that has been becoming more noticed year, and how it looks exactly like a Pearl Collar DIY I found on Pinterest that I've been wanting to do... and then I realized that this movie was made in 2007! Wow!

Usually fashion trends tend to turn me off because they get overdone and then die after a few months or so. And when the die, you look silly wearing them afterwards. But I think collars are an exception =] I think they are a classic piece and will always look cute no matter what year you wear them in. That's one of the main reasons why I do love vintage pieces because they are timeless!

This movie has definitely motivated me a bit more into making some DIY collars soon times. I haven't come across many people in person pulling them off anyway.

Can't wait to actually finish the rest of the movie now. Haha.
Until next time.

Robbed in more ways than one.

Number 1.

Today I went to a Canada's Wonderland audition for dancers for the hell of it. Mostly just to give myself more options for when after school is over. I didn't want it that desperately because it is essentially bad choreography and bad dancing. That is how it exactly was for the audition too. Bad choreography AND also bad dancers auditioning. It's sounds pretty conceited to say, but with my experience I felt like I was pretty over qualified. Even with that thought I didn't slack off or anything. However, I got cut. I basically lost to dancers could not even pick up simple choreography or even balance on a side develope at the very beginning of the routine! I was surprised and not so surprised because this is how it has been recently for some of my classmates that have been auditioning for cruises lately. Dancers with absolutely no technique getting jobs while dancers with maturity and strong technique are getting cut. It really makes me worry about where dance is going in the world -_-.

Number 2.

Afterwards, I went to watch Bryan and his friends participate in a 2 vs. 2 battle downtown at Street Dance Academy. He did really well! Him and Eric made it to the semi finals. But they really should have made it all the way to the Finals. Why? Because they lost to some guys that did not dance to the music, were not very impressive with their moves, and were just overall "okay". AND I AM NOT BEING BIASED BECAUSE BRYAN IS MY BOYFRIEND! A lot of people saw it too! Even the dudes themselves even told Bryan and Eric after the battle that they were surprised that got it and that they felt that it really should've went to them instead.

Number 3.

We all went out to eat at a Ramen place on Spadina that was closeby. We were there for less than an hour and we come back to the car only to find the passenger seat window smashed! It's really retarded because it was only 9pm-10pm and it was close to Spadina and Dundas! There were so many people and cars going by around that time still. We were parked on Spadina too, not on some random side road close to an alleyway. Thankfully most of our stuff we had in the trunk or with us inside. However, Bryan and Eric both had left their bags in the car which were both stolen. The most important things that were taken were Bryan's passport and Eric's hearing aid. Everything else in the bag were clothes and such. Bryan had one of his Nike jackets in there and also a hat for breaking. It was a really nice messenger bag of his too! Ughhh.. The only thing that was still left in the car were my pair of sneakers that I brought along with me in case I needed them for the audition... which I thought was a lil funny. The thieves were definitely guys. So we spent some time calling the police and asking nearby restaurants if they saw anything or if they can check their security cameras. There was a restaurant that did have one that would've had a perfect view of the car, but when we asked if they could check the footage they said that it's not on... Seriously? What's the fucking point in having a security camera? I really really really hope Karma gets back at these thieves and fucks them up big time T___T. I'm really thankful that nothing even more serious was left in the car like a wallet. But still...
Robbed.

Number 4.

There wasn't much we could do then after calling the police because they were closing or something like that so we decided to head back home. There was so much glass on the passenger seat that it would've been really dangerous for someone to sit there. So the four of us had to squish in the back seat. We didn't have much of a choice. We had to break the rest of the glass off the window, and ask restaurants for garbage bags and tape. One of the Chinese restaurants who knew our situation even charged us 50 cents for a bag. Wtf really???? Shortly after we left, we got pulled over by a cop because there were four of us in the backseat and we didn't have seat belts on. We explained to him our situation and showed him the glass. He just gave us a warning and told us to clean the glass off the seat and clean the ones on the floor later on because it is dangerous for us to have four passengers in the back if we got into an accident. So we brushed as much glass as we could off the seat and stacked a bunch of newspapers on it. It would've been really ridiculous if the cop did actually fine us, knowing our situation and actually witnessing it as well. Why on earth would we just have four of us crammed in the back and then an empty passenger seat?
It's just really stupid that we had to go through even more shit because of the assholes who broke in the car.
Robbed.

Yes, it was a very crappy way to end the day. However, I am still very thankful that it wasn't any worse. I'm thankful that we had most of our valuable belongings with us and that the thieves didn't get into the trunk even though they really could have after breaking the window. And most importantly, I'm thankful that all of us were physically safe. In the end, that's all that matters.

update yayyy

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Oh hi there bloggerland,

Yes, I disappeared for about a couple of months not just because of the usual "busy with school/work/social life" but mostly because I haven't had much inspiration to blog about the random things in my life. But now suddenly, I feel like getting back into it again.

So these are just random updates about my life that I just feel like throwing out there..

  • I dyed my hair for the first time in December. Not that I didn't like my natural hair colour anymore, I just wanted a change. I didn't do anything drastic of course. For a while I've been wanting to keep my hair dark but have a red/purple tint to it so I finally did it. It's very noticeable in some lighting and not so much in others. But I'm okay with that. I want to build up the colour gradually. I will probably redye it over Reading Week yayyy.

  • I've been carrying my Olympus camera a lot lately. I wanna try doing a photo a day sort of thing and for that I will maybe use my barely used Tumblr.

  • I know before I was scared of not being in school anymore because I didn't know what I'd be doing after. Even though I'm still not sure, I feel less scared because I just want OUT of school now -__-. So far this semester has just been ridiculous.

  • I need to get a new phone. Seriously, I've had the same one since Summer 2009 and it's slowly becoming effed up. It loves to receive text messages hours later and sometimes tells me that I'm getting present text messages from the future! An Iphone is sounding very good right now, but I still have to wait xP.

  • A couple of discouraging things have happened over the past couple of months, but I've been learning how to make the best of everything and I feel happier that way. I'm very thankful to have my friends who love to chill spontaneously almost everyday. They keep me happy. Bryan likes to call us the Weekenders even though I'm pretty sure I see all of them more on week nights if anything! Haha.

  • As for just me and Bryan, we are still growing together and learning about each other. It's crazy looking back at the past five years that has lead up to here. But I'm happy with where we are at n0w. I'm thankful for him the most and I feel like I don't show that enough to him.

  • Still obsessed with Pinterest (Join if you haven't already! XD)

  • Still love playing Ninjatown even though I am probably on my 4th time playing the whole game through again.

  • Other things I've recently been loving: vintage style bags, mango milk tea with small tapioca, wavy hair, watches, wearing Bryan's clothes!

Until next time.
