Reading Week Comes To An End
Sunday, 23 February 2014 | 0 comments
How sad, this is the final day of reading week.  I feel like one week is not enough time to really get relaxed.  I've only now started to really enjoy my break and it's already over!  This is really depressing.  There are a lot of projects that I haven't touched yet, which I know I will regret later on in the week when I'm rushing to get stuff done.  Good thing they're not finals.

So what have I been up to this week?  Since I didn't have school, most days I just stayed home.  However, my aunt and uncle from Australia came to visit for that week.  The adults were mostly busy with each other so I didn't get a chance to go shopping with my parents or anything like that.

I fixed up my blog a little bit more.  If you've noticed, I changed the size of the body section so I can have large pictures again.  My previous layout allowed me to do so and I really like having big pictures.  The size I was limited to before was such an odd one, so I decided to just play around with the coding until I got the size that I liked.  I'm more happy about this size more.

Valentines day was the Friday I started my reading week.  Of course, I didn't do anything, but I made an effort not to let it get me down.  It's still really hard for me to deal with the whole breakup, even though it has already been almost 2 months now.  I have a feeling I'm not going to be okay for a very long time.  Maybe even a year.  But I'm not rushing myself and I'm doing whatever I can to just focus on myself and my life.  I think that deserves some kind of recognition.  I did however, doll myself up to make myself feel good :)





One thing that happened was that I got my belly button pierced!  I've been wanting to get it done since I was like 14 or 15, but I never got around to doing it.  (Mostly because I didn't have the money for it)  This time, I was in a "f*** it" mood, mostly because of the break up, and decided to get it done that week.  Sometimes it feels good to be rebellious, but I've also learned that it comes in moderation.  That week, I found myself in a situation where I wasn't sure how far I would go, but I slowly realized what my morals were and didn't go through with it.  I think it's okay to do certain things, but if you start second guessing yourself, that's a clear sign you shouldn't do it.  Needless to say, this piercing was one of the best decisions I've made and I'm totally in loveeee with it.  I'm so glad I got it done!

Cleaning it has been really tedious and I'm really scared it will get infected, but I try my best to follow instructions and keep it as clean as I can.  I never had any problems with infections when I got my ears pierced, although I know several people that have.  I'd like to think that I'm pretty good at taking care of piercings.



My friend Ambar actually came with me to get it done.  I haven't gotten to hang out with her in what feels like more than a year.  She's one of my oldest and dearest friends and I love her to bits!  Talking to her has really helped me not be so depressed because she's just so cute and makes you feel optimistic.  I think having those kind of people in your life is really good and everyone should try to be like that.





We went to a cafe that had these huge lofts of bread dessert things.  Walking into the place, I realized that I've been there once before, with Charming and his friends.  I didn't let that get me down though.  We read japanese magazines and stuffed our faces with sweet bread.  If you know me, you'll know that I really don't like to eat bread due to the fact that most of my childhood meals were nothing but bread and I'm just so sick of it now.  But I really wanted to try this because it looked so pretty and tempting.  I ordered a matcha red bean one.  Although it lacked in matcha flavour, it was still pretty yummy.  It's nice to make new memories in old places.


The following day, my body woke itself up which didn't put me in such a good mood.  The adults dragged me out to dim sum, another type of food I'm not particularly fond of.  I did enjoy the tea cups they had there, though.  Still, it felt like it was too early to be that fancy.


I went and visited Sariah even though we didn't get to hang out for that long.  I really needed to get some sea salt to clean my piercing, so we went to the drug store and they only carried a big bag of it.  I picked up the new Cosmo and Essie's Forever Yummy because I lacked a red in my polish collection.  Here's what it looks like.


It's a little darker in person, but it's a pretty true red.  I'm trying to grow out my nails so I can do the whole Louboutin nail thing.  I've always wanted to do it even if it's not very practical.  We'll see how it goes.

As for the sea salt, I dragged a huge bag home only to realize that I bought the wrong one!  And I already opened the bag so I couldn't return it.  How stupid of me, right?  Now I have a $5 bag of sea salt FOR BATHS that I don't know what I'm going to do with.  I don't plan on taking baths with it...  Anyway, I got home and asked my brother to tag along with me to go to the grocery store to pick up the right kind of sea salt.  Did you know that things in Canada never have labels as to with contains iodine or not?!  MAN!  I pretty much had to guess but I assume that if it doesn't say anything, it shouldn't contain iodine...  At least that's what google says.

 (Day of)
(Day after)

Look, I got my hair cut!  I've been meaning to cut it and I don't remember when's the last time I got it cut, although I really only cut my hair once a year.  I remember for the longest time, I've been bugging Charming to trim my hair after a week or two of getting it cut because I realized the person didn't cut the back the way I wanted it.  But that was a while ago and he never got to do it before the whole break up thing :\  So...  Yeah.  I got it cut so I have new hair before class started again.  I really like it and I usually get it cut like this anyway.  My hair grows out so much within a year, it's crazy!  I miss tying up my hair but you win some and you lose some.

I've been listening to a lot of Marina and the Diamonds lately.  She has such good girl power songs that make you feel like you can crush any man with your heels!  Currently these are the couple that has been on repeat for me:
"Primadonna"
"Bubblegum Bitch"
"Oh No"
"How To Be A HeartBreaker"
 Those songs really helped me get through Valentines day with a breeze.  So if you wanna feel like a bad bitch, blast those songs on repeat and I guarantee you'll feel a lot better about yourself!


A fun fact: I found this caterpillar in my soup tonight during dinner.  I still drank it haha.  That's what happens when asians use so many dried plants as ingredients in their soups!  What can I say?  Good protein?

Here's a bunch of pictures I've accumulated throughout the week.









Today, I did a walk-through on how I contour my face.  It's already written and everything so I'm going to post it sometime this week.  Look out for that if you're interested!  Until then, I guess I'm just going to try and enjoy whatever is left of my reading week.

xoxo.
