Happy Belated Birthday to Me.
It was my birthday yesterday. I turned 20. I did not want to turn 20. Life goes on.
Sorry that I have been away for so long. I've been going through a lot of personal things that I'm still not ready to fully talk about and I may never be ready. But to sum everything up, Charming and I are no longer together. I rather not get into details but I'm still having a hard time dealing with all that has happened and I am no where close to being okay just yet. In regards to things on my blog, I'm going to keep them there until I'm ready for change.
With everything that has happened, my life basically put itself to a stop so there isn't much for me to blog about these days. I'm in no mood to be updating anyway. However, I'm slowly forcing myself to get back into the routine of things just so I'll have some normality in my life. It's a tough struggle sometimes.
Yesterday was my birthday and if you know me, you know that I'm not that big on celebrating my birthday. However, a friend insisted to take me out to dinner so I wouldn't be too sad. He's an Aquarius like me, so we celebrated the beginning of Aquarius season.
A Cosmo because they're the best. Perfect when you're sad but
still want to appear somewhat ladylike. A drink is a must on your
birthday.
On New Years Eve, I went out to eat with two of my cousins. We drank a lot that night. I really needed to get drunk, so that was something.
My family and friends have been really supportive in the past month and has taken me out a couple of times to distract me. I'm really depressed and couldn't eat anything which caused me to lose some weight.
(Did you know, there's something called The Breakup Diet? I don't recommend it.) Anyway, so they've been taking me out to eat to try and get my body back into business.
One of my cousins took me to the aquarium last weekend. I really wanted to go for a long time, so I'm glad he took my brother and I. It's such a perfect place for a date :\ But you know... Anyway, I still had fun. The sharks and jellyfish were my favourite parts. We went to eat Korean food beforehand. I got pork bone soup per usual. It was really good :)
I also went to the mall with a bunch of friends and saw that my favourite candle from Bath and Body Works is back in stock: London Calling! I first discovered it with Charming back last spring and we fell in love with the scent. I bought two single-wick ones and burned through one already but I wanted to save the second one for the future when
we got our own place. Anyway, so long story short, they discontinued it, and now it's back! I bought two three-wick versions so they should last me for quite some time. Maybe I should go back and buy extras just in case. I hope they never stop selling this scent because it's so lovely and wonderful and perfect ;-;
And I also stopped by at Sephora to pick up my birthday gift. Last years was pretty good because it was a mascara and highlighter from Benefit (two of my favourite makeup items and from a very loved brand!). This year, it looks like it's MakeUpForever's turn. You get a mini mascara and lipstick in the colour Rouge. The lipstick is really cute because it's so miniature, but I'm kinda sad that the bullet itself is so tiny :(
I made pasta the other night for the first time in a very long time. I guess it's my attempt at trying to bring back some normality into my life. It sucked but I'm trying.
Anyway, so that's what has been going on for the past month or so. Most of these events happened during the most recent weeks because I'm only starting to kind of get back into the normality of things. There are still days where I do nothing but stay in bed and be sad for the whole day but I'm try, I guess.
I never got around to talking about it, but have you heard of Dayre? Basically, it's a blogging app that allows you to post little entries throughout the day and at the end of the day, it compiles to look like an actual full blog post. I started it a while back but of course, like this blog and many of my other social media accounts, I suddenly stopped for a month or two and now I'm trying to get back into them again.
