okay well thats all for now. till next time

merry christmas!!!

by the way i'm wearing that smile you gave me

mmm mm

mmmm mm candy canes gingerbread houses and wrapping presents and hot chocolate and cloudy with a chance of flurries mmmm mmmm mm christmas

so excited. parliament is putting on the talent show this friday and i'm super happy + grateful i got to be involved in this. im REALLY looking forward tothis, its gonna be bomb. its at the point where i don't even care if the student body likes what we've done, but i'm so proud of us - of how far we've come and of what we've been able to manufacture.

and i've said this before and i'll say it again, I AM SO EXCITED TO GIVE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!!!!! eeeEEEeeeeEEeeeee cant wait to see everyone's happy faces. even if my remaining spending money amount is now in the single digits.

christmas is near

i've got to say, i had a LOT of fun shopping for my christmas presents this year. i can't wait for my friends and fam to open their gifts under their trees (or when i give it to them) this year, cause i REALLY put a lot of thought and effort into all my gifts :) :$
i dont even want anything for christmas this year!!!!! having fun is enough. sleeping enough, time to myself is enough. the gift im giving to myself is a day at home doing absolutely nothing. just me and my 7 literary novels im supposed to read for AP lit club loool..... peace to me.

happy holidays!!! all we need now is snow (though i can't complain about the mild weather :))

worr(fr)ee

i am first to say that i am a worrywart. not about super irrational things, per se, like my house burning down or the canada line train i am on getting bombed or "the big one" earthquake that's supposed to happen here anytime between now and the next 190 years.
i worry more about things in my life. i worry about failure.

i don't get usual nightmares. people i know get them about paranormal activity and bank robbers and voldemort...... but i wake up in a cold sweat to the dorkiest things ever. time and time again i've woken up with a sigh of relief because i realised i actually did NOT miss a shift of work in real life (irresponsibly of course) or that i DID complete the giant project due today on time.

i guess my worry of these silly things began when i adopted a new mantra in grade 9 - "expect the worst, hope for the best". the idea was that if we expected the worst, we would never be dissapointed. it went well and all, but as the days of yore passed me by, i began to realize how UNHAPPY this mantra made me. instead of having any hope for the future whatsoever, i instead became crabby and attempted to stop relying on people because i KNEW they were going to let me down.

and then i realized: why am i making myself so unhappy?!?! worry or not, the outcome will still be the same. so i can spend that time worrying about my cookies burning making another batch, instead of twiddling my thumbs and checking them every two minutes, even though the oven is on timer.

so my new pledge is to create a plan b then remain hopeful. that way, i don't have to gain gray hairs while i'm waiting for something to happen. never a bad thing.

christmas is in 20 days

havent even thought about shopping yet. eep

as of late

exams are finally over!! though i've finished all that stuff till monday, there is still so much to be done... SLEEP the major priority. I guess i'm one of those girls who needs her sleep....... and without it i turn into a zombie-monster cross.
i think it's work that's killing me though, even though i can sleep in till 8 on both saturday and sunday, its not noon like i used to. my late night phone conversations aren't exactly helping my sleeping patterns either........ nights where i do finish my homework i find myself just talking on the phone longer rather than sleeping.

"sleep is for the weak"

call me weak.


on the bright side, FINALLY got my $15 sephora beauty insider gift card in my email!!! been browsing the site ALLLLL day to see what i'm gonna buy :):):) so00o exciting seeing as i won't be spending money on myself (besides necessary coffees and green tea) until january 1st.

tgif, enjoy your weekend everyone!
