For the Leo presentations at assemblies this week, I wore my club tee! Yeah, Leo pride woooh :D (Same shirt... every day... for a week! Wow haha. I've never worn the same shirt twice, so this is a big accomplishment for me :P)

I am in the middle of replying to all of your lovely comments, so don't worry, I will check out all your blogs/comment back! <3 Thank you, my lovelies.

Update on giveaway: 211 followers right now -- almost there! I can't believe how fast it's been; I thought it'd be like another month or so hehe. It's like... wow. When I first started posting, I never expected anybody to actually read (and like) (and follow) my blog. I'm not that interesting, you know? I'm not rich, I'm not perfect; I like to rant about my problems... which must be really annoying to my readers. I'm not as knowledgeable in fashion as other amazing bloggers (just to namedrop a few: fashiontoast, hipstermusings, lulu) and I never really keep track of the trends, what's in and out, which designers are hot right now, stuff like that -- never even been to a fashion show... well, apart from the one hosted by a group of fashion college kids... doesn't count. So I'm really grateful and thankful to my lovelies for staying by my side; I wish I could show all of you how much I appreciate you <3 So yup... the giveaway should help with that dilemma :P

I found this old pic of me and my pal, E. so I just wanted to post it up on the blog:

Gr. 9, miss youu

Can't believe I'm graduating this year. I've already made plans with a friend to rent out an apartment. It'll be close to UBC, so I really hope we both get accepted, and find a roommate (rent is expensiiiive D: if there's 3 of us, it'll only be $600/month each). I feel so grown-up, it's terrible!

I still look like a 13 year old though. Pffft.

{{EDIT: It's thundering and raining like crazy out here in Langley, BC! It's so beautiful -- the rain, I mean. Some days, it's best to just sit in your room, read a book, all cozy and warm and safe. I'm seriously so thankful that I have a roof over my head, good food cooked by my grandma, and my sister and baby cousin here to cheer me up.}}

I'm IT! Got tagged by Joan (;
1. Who or what is your inspiration?

I draw inspiration from everyone and everything around me. I get obsessed over certain things/people for a while and then I'm onto the next thing!

2. What is your makeup brand?

I don't understand this question lol.

3. What is your favorite makeup brand?

Actually, I don't really have a favourite makeup brand! I buy the essentials: mascara, concealer, eyeliner, and lip butter. Sometimes I'll use eye shadow. But I don't really care about the brand. As long as it doesn't irritate my skin, I'll use it haha.

4. Would you rather go out with no makeup on with done hair, or undone hair and finished makeup?

I'd rather have good makeup on my face! I'm very insecure about my face, because I've been through really bad stages of acne, black bags under my eyes, and chapped lips. And the "bedhead/rocker hair" look is really popular right now anyway. To be honest, I never really do much with my hair but blow dry it or put it up into a pony tail!

5. Name 5 things that's in your bag:

Cell phone (it's crap -- can't do anything but talk and text, but as long as I can text, whatever!), money (in case I get lost/stranded somewhere), keys (don't want to be locked out), lip butter, and Clean&Clear oil-blotting sheets! They're super handy lol.

6. Name something every makeup enthusiast should have:

A good concealer/powder brush. A flawless face is the best face!

7. When you were young, what did you want to be when you grow up?

I wanted to be a singer-songwriter, haha. Now, I'm not so sure I can do that! There are so many talented artists out there, and I don't think I'm one of them ):

8. What is your favorite clothes shop?

Value Village ftw. (HEY LEXY :D Sup? One day we should go VVing together.)

I like listening to the rain outside.
I like waking up at the right time, and not in the middle of the night, panicking because of confusion.
I like people who are able to laugh at themselves.
I like coming up with a clever reply at the right time, and not mangling it as it travels out my mouth.
I like eating dinner with my family.
I like having a conversation that's not forced.
I like it when it's as if the day will never end, and I can just stay up forever.
I like the hazy feeling of when it's between being awake and asleep.
I like having homemade facials with my younger sister.
I like hot showers on cold days, and watching the steam rise up from the water.
I like it when people take the time to just talk to me, and not anybody else.
I like being able to bus/walk to places; it makes me feel independent.

I love living life, and I hope I'll be able to do more of that once I graduate. I don't want to be scared anymore!

I hate it when I begin to write a story with amazing inspiration fresh on my mind -- and then losing that inspiration 4 paragraphs later.
I hate clicking through other people's photo albums on Facebook, because it just proves that my life is dreadfully boring in comparison.
I hate fighting with my parents.
I hate it when my imagination runs off a cliff.
I hate crying in public.
I hate having to joke around with strangers or even acquaintances at school, because I'm scared that nobody will like me if I'm not funny enough.
I hate it when people make a comment about my skin or my clothes, even if they don't mean to offend me. It still makes me feel bad, even though I try to brush it off.
I hate being in the IB program. It sucks out everything that's important to me: creativity, sleep, energy, friendship; it leaves me empty.

 LOLz. She's adorable, eh. That facial expression is pure gold, baby.

NOW I TAG EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU OUT THERE! YOU'RE IT!

GIVEAWAY?!

To thank all my wonderful readers for sticking with me for one whole year (and then some), and for reading all of these 94 posts (soon to be 95 haha), I want to propose... a virtual toast!

And then A GIVEAWAY!

"YAAAAY!"

(I'm not as cheap as you think, I guess. LOLz.)

As soon as I reach 225 followers, I will post up a superawesomefantasticalmagical giveaway! I won't tell you what the prizes are yet, but I can say that it's gonna be superawesomefantasticalmagical.

Moving on...
I recently bussed down to Downtown Langley and browsed through my local, friendly, neighborhood Value Village -- picked up some stuff that you probably will see in my upcoming posts: a pink, oversized blazer; a sheer white blouse; a knitted sweater; a striped jumper; and these two bags below (both were only $5.99)!

"So you want a revolution? Well you know... we all wanna change the world"

Every time I look at this wonderful bag, Beatles lyrics come into mind. Weird? NAAAAH.

Unfortunately I was a bit rushed for time since my mom was yelling at me through my cellphone for bussing Downtown without telling her, so I forgot to check the shoes and pants section. Boooooo. And I really really wanted a pair of loafers, or broques, or even cowboy boots, or anything really, I just want more shoes ):

Alright then...
See you guys later! xxx

ps. I'm so excited for the giveway haha. You should see me right now. I'm jumping around in my seat. I just love you guys all so much. Just here, jumping in my seat, smiling like mad. I look like this actually:
