A friend in need a friend indeed

Hey heys, well it's like 11.20 now so I should be to sleep soon but I haven't been blogging in what seems like ages so I thought I would take this time to blog. I am actually wearing a face mask at the moment and I'm in L.O.V.E with face masks at the moment because they are soooo good for my skin and they make my skin look great and feel soft it's just amazing what a mask can do to your skin. I've been using masks from My Beauty Diary and BeautyMate recently and I like them heaps! BeautyMate is more for repairing your skin and My Beauty Diary is morose relaxing and moisturizing. So they are all wonderful and smell awesome.

Anyways enough about face masks, my current obsession. Today was only the second day of school and I swear I have never felt so tired in my life. So I got home and I just wanted to sleep but I don't remember why I didn't I took a shower though and got refreshed from this yucky muggy weather. Anyways I was pretty bummed because the net doesn't work but when I was doing some chemistry work I heard a Skype message and I was like what the shit my net doesn't work. But it was luke Josh's frind who I havent talked to in yonks like alone talking. Anyways I thought it was a little strange but it's cool like he's a nice guy and everything anyways we had a good talk and some funny moments and then he said he want to ask me something personal and I was kinda hesitant like scared lol but in the end he was just asking for advice and I don't think I'm that good at giving advice but at least in think I have given good advice this time. Like I feel good about it and yeah anyways I like really want to sleep so this post probably doesn't make any sense but oh wells I need to relax.

Byee

Nadal GO GO GO!

Watching the tennis and my golly it's INTENSE! But Nadal you can do it~

School has been alright so far I can't believe that the first semi week is over it went by pretty fast even thou it was just 3 days of school with the swimming carnival it was still like bam gone by so quick. I hope I can get driven to school tomorrow so that I don't die carrying my books to school (:

I am trying to make my blog more readable for everyone because at the moment I'm pretty sure that it is quite personal and people who do not know me would not know what the heck I'm talking about which is yeah pretty true.. But I must say its pretty hard for me to articulate this in a way that will make sense to everyone because everyone is different and everyone will read what I say in a different way.

Whoa right then Nadal you sexy beast he is so determined *admiration*

Hahas sorry for the random quips still watching the tennis at the moment while writing this post. I am actually quite looking firmware to school although they have changed a few a lot of things I think living life is about adaptation and if you can't adapt to the things around you well I'm sorry you are not the centre of the world so suck it up. Ahaha just kidding :)

Anyways it's getting prreeetty late so I should get some beauty sleep ;)
GO NADAL! GoGoGo~

Look at those sexy muscles 8D

Take a deep breath..

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try to stay out of everybody's way..
Lyrics from Taylor Swift's Fifteen

Long time no blog. Long time no nothing. Gee I'm not going to make this a depressing post but hey the first day of year 12 has past and it wasn't too bad really. I actually was at tutor on Monday night for a make up lesson from Sunday because we had so much fun at Chinese New Year that we all forgot to do our work.. Good memories of kicking Ah Shengs butt in Tekken (: Anyways I'm rambling.

The first day of school was.. in a word interesting. The day started out gloomy in the beginning with the grey storm clouds looming ominously over our heads. Getting ready for school was somehow much more simple than I last remember or maybe I have just been too lazy. But the day was quite pleasant excluding the rain.

But yeah.. I don't really want to go into that much detail I guess pretty tired from it all and I want to go back to watching my drama (: Boys Before Flowers ^^

Anyways a motivational poster that lifted me a little. Byes x

SOPA AND PIPA; YOU BITCH

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a law (bill) of the United States proposed in 2011 to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access to the sites. The bill would criminalize the streaming of such content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Source: Wikipedia

I do not live in USA so I will not be affected by this bill, but the thing that angers me is that ANY website made by the US if this bill is passed will be shut down and penalised. This means that other countries that access material from a US website are blocked. Now I don't get me wrong, copyrighting is bad everyone knows that but if you pass this bill I'm sorry but almost everyone in the world. Or at least anyone with internet access will be freaking pissed. 


Okay let me break this down for any of you who are still confused about all this new pending legislation crap. ANY WEBSITE WITH A DOT COM IS AMERICAN AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN AND PROSECUTED IF SUSPECTED OF COPYRIGHT MATERIAL IF THIS SOPA AND PIPA BILL IS PASSED.

So I will also participate in this protest because well just like any other American citizen I'm pissed with you. 

I've read articles and information about this but the real reason I am angered is because they shut down Mediafire. Yes, Mediafire does have a shitload of copyrighted material but are you freaking serious I am so pissed right now. Read the article here. What about Youtube and Facebook there is also copyrighted material on there. Just seriously ANY website made by the US. Yes, there are a lots of other site? But I don't think you are going by this the right way America. You're just going to turn your country against you.


Oh what up interwebz. Protesting is in action. Anonymous hackers are fighting back. Read the articles here and here. EXPECT US.


THIS POST IS CONSTANTLY BEING UPDATED.

Homework on the HOLIDAYS.. wait what.

Awake at like 4AM again not really surprising there hahas. Just been pretty bored and surfing the net nothing special but since its so early and I can't think of anything better to do I though I'd do some of my maths homework.. on the holidays because that's just the type of asian I am YEE BRU~

And there is all sorts of crazy, freaking stupid things that I have to learn so here are some examples so you can feel my pain. But if you think this stuff is easy well shudup lol. Actually if you know how to do these leave me a comment :D
But hey, thats coolios I am actually planning to do something like this on my wall; but I can't decide whether I want a heart of a string of pictures :| hummmmmmmmm

Living at our best..

It might be surprising, actually its not that surprising but I am still awake when its clearly a time that you should be sleeping like a baby. I don't really know what I'm doing.. or why I'm doing it.. It's a haze a bit like a dream and I really don't want to wake up. I have basically a week until I have to go back to school and I'm not really that thrilled.

I love the sound of the rain and its such a lovely night. The cool temperature is a refreshing but somewhat depressing.. wow. I am in such a depressing mood why is it that I only blog when I'm feeling like shit?

I'll move on, I've been watching so many videos lately I think my eyes will pop out soon. Big Bang Theory, Friends, Dance Academy, Gossip Girl even a little Jersey Shore. But I have to do work, tutor work, umat practice, clean the house, so much shit to do with my life; zero motivation.

I wish I had a Lenard. I wish I had something.

Need to get you 'outta my system'

Hello (: I have been in a really lazy mood all day, but I went out today to do some errands and somehow he randomly came to my mind.. I guess it's because there area so many memories from when wen used to go out to the city together. Lazy days in the city together, doing nothing in particular but still having such a fun time. Playing with iPads in the store, walking aimlessly through the city, lying down watching the sun set talking about anything and everything and playing games in time zone only to hopelessly lose to you. Good times hey. By as I was working without any focus at all. The song 'outta my system' by bow wow came on and as I listened to the lyrics it was pretty relevant to us well sorta.

When I'm with somebody, all I think bout is you. When I'm all alone, that's all I wanna do. I miss the smiling faces in my sidekick,Outta town visits, all the time we spent together makes it hard to get you outta my system.

I actually didn't realize that today was your birthday until a few minutes ago. So happy birthday dude. Have a good one

Another snippet from the song

Get a grip of it is what I'm tryna let you know.You got a hold or some kind of control of meI don't know what it is, but I gotta get you gone from me

Don't be a Bitch.

whadup. It's getting pretty early and it's been a while since I have been able to post from my computer. And I've realised that this blog  isn't very interesting to look at because THERE IS NO PICTURES. so here are some images to show a mixture of feelings in my head at the moment.

Year 12 is just around the corner, around the next 2 weeks. That's coolios. Wait what. I mean ngahhhhhhhh

Really attractive I know (: But I've really been thinking about the year.. and all the good things that I would have achieved by the end of this year and how proud of myself I would be. By the end of this year I hope that I would have done these things:

• Had an awesome night at my formal
• Continued to blog throughout the year
• Attempted to sleep at least by 10 on school nights *fingerescrossed*
• Kept my true friends close
• Lived through QCS
• Come through year 12 in one piece and be a better person from it.

But don't get me wrong there have been lots of times that I have set goals and just been a defiant little butt  like this,

Which is completely true, I may not be a child any longer. But as it was said before "if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its a freaking duck". If you look like a child, and act like a child, well sorry but you're still a kid. One thing that I will really try to do this year is make more time for my friends, because I know from experience last year that if you don't give any attention to your friends, they wont for you either.

“Why should other people treat you nice if you're just being a bitch.”

 Totally agreed. So that't about it I think for this post. Oh just to anyone who actually reads any of my stuff hahas I still haven't got photoshop to make my background transparent so DEAL WITH IT and OHOH going formal dress shopping tomorrow today YAYAYYAYA (: lub you x

Senior formal: is it really worth it?

Only Asian parents would make their children go to tutor on the holidays. After the last term is finished and before the first one begins. No time for relaxing, what does that word even mean to them? Relaxing. I don't think it's even in their vocabulary. But hey this is not for me to say.

Anyway, today I did go to tutor and I won't lie I don't look forward to going to tutor except for the fact that there's a pretty hot dude that I can stare at when I'm brain dead. But my friend who had been away for 5 weeks came back and was at tutor today so I was pretty excited to see her and catch up. It had been too long! We didn't really do that much work but hey what do you expect? And she surprised me by telling me that the senior formal had been moved up to may instead of its normal time in july. 2 months may not seem like a long time but when you haven't even started to plan anything about your dress, makeup, shoes, and date.. Well you see my predicament.

I was mostly stressed about my dress because I am quite short and a long dress would make me look well fat and just this is why I avoid long dresses. *sigh* so I went formal dress surfing and I'm not really into the shiny sparkly ones.. But oh well I'm sure that would be alright it's only a dress after all.

All the material things can be planned and adjusted to but the one thing that I don't have is a partner. Since I drifted away from my best guy friend who really treated me like crap that I took to the semi formal I don't have anyone to bring to my formal. I have decided to have at least 3 in mind.

First choice: a boy my age who I have know for 2 years now but have drifted away from him. We used to be very good friends and even liked each other for a while but his parents were too scary for me so I chickened out and he hasn't been the same since. We still can talk to each other but the same spirt isn't there anymore.. And honestly I'm scared to invite him because what would his parents think? And honestly, I'm scared shitless of them.

Second choice: another boy my age who is really attractive like hot. But he is a little short so if I wear heels it might look strange in photos.. I don't know him that well personally but I have know him for a year. We first met at, can you believe it? Tutor. And every now and then we chat, I think we are friends but we aren't close so that might be awkward. And I'm not sure what he thinks of me so still thinking.. But he is a possibility.

Third choice: one of my good friends who I've known since I was little probably around 9 but he is older, he's 21 so that might be a bit old.. But he is actually quite good looking and tall like if he didn't know so many of my embarrassing moments of my childhood and I met him randomly and only I would date him :) he would be the most comfortable around me and I would really appreciate his company. I would really bring him without hesitation if he was a year or two younger and knew more of my friends. I really like him as a friend.

I just don't know. I'm actually freaking out a little, because I don't want to go alone to the formal. But I don't want to go with someone that I'm not close to and worry about the night being awkward. So this is my predicament. *majorsadface*

Lip Balm Haul: Addicted to Lip Balm

This blog was not intended to be a beauty or review blog, but I would like to share my experience with a wonderful Australian-based online store dedicated to all lip products: Addicted to Lip Balm

I placed my order on Sunday, it was posted on Tuesday and I received it on Thursday. The site stated that 'shipping within Australia will take 3-5 days' but since Brisbane is close to NSW my order came within 2 days. I was very satisfied with the customer service because it was informative and quick. All my inquiries were answered on the same day or within 24 hours.

It truly was a surprise to me that my order had arrived already in the mail, so I was very excited as I always am to open my mail (: My items were packed in a padded bag and inside it was wrapped in cute pink tissue paper wrapping I should have taken a better picture but I didn't know I was going to make a review on this site so sorry for the bad quality!!



All my items were perfect! They all arrived in good condition except some crumpling of a box but that's no biggie (: I love them all I will write reviews on them later but unfortunately I received a faulty eos summer fruits. Of all the items I had ordered it was the one I wanted to try the most so I was very sad and a tiny bit angry to find that it was faulty and emailed then right away. I was not expecting good news but when I opened their quick reply this morning I couldn't help but to smile. It was very refreshing to have such nice customer service and such a lovely sales assistant. The email is shown below.

Hi Caroline,
We are so sorry to hear you received a faulty eos lip balm. We sell hundreds of these and unfortunately we do get the odd faulty one :(Thank you for sending through photo, we will forward it onto the manufacture. We will get a new eos Summer Fruits lip balm in the post for you today. Once again we apologise for the inconvenience.Have a great day!
Kind regards,

So overall I would rate this experience 5/5  ★★★★★ 
I highly recommend ordering from Addicted to Lip Balms because the customer service is exceptional, site navigation is user friendly and shipping is quick and efficient.

Also if it's your first time ordering from them you can get 10% off your order with the redemption code: 1ST ORDER
and free shipping for orders over $50!

So I don't think I can tell you how much I love this site but please support (:

It hurt. But I will let it go.

We were such good friends and we became such good friends. And then it drifted apart, you let it fall apart. You didn't even care, you didn't even want to talk to me, you didn't even have the decency to tell me to my face. You just let it fall apart. You let me fall apart. You saw it happening and you didn't care. You saw me killing myself over you and you didn't care. You just watched me and ignored it. That hurt.

And now, we don't even talk anymore. And it hurts that I tried, I tried to talk to you and you, you don't even have the decency to just hate me. Just hate me. I can't stand this limbo, no talking, trying to get over you. I can't do this anymore, it's been half a year. It's been half a year. It's been more than half a year of awkwardness. All that time trying to fix it. Time wasted.

I see you. I saw you. And I went back there again. And it all came back again. To haunt me again. And you know what hurts the most? That you don't even care, you aren't even affected by any of this. But not anymore, it's a new year, and this year counts, this year decides me. So no more you, you will not hurt me anymore. I won't let you.

Never again.

It was just a dream..

Have you ever woken up from such a good dream, and just wished that you could go back there? But you can't. Because you've already woken up.

I think dreams like that are meant to give us hope, that one day we can live our lives in that scenario of the dream. Highly unlikely hey (: But if we have hope we can keep our spirits up and our lives on track. That's all we need really. A little hope.

Jog. Jog. Stitch. Bitch.

Went jogging today but I had the worst cramps so it made it hell. Anyways, I was thinking about books for school this year and I reckon since its my last year of high school that I am going to get nice books for this year and not some shitty 10c for a 10 pack one.

Deal. Typo or Colourhide exercise books.
Fine tipped Pilot pens
And I'm not going to let people 'borrow' my stuff no no no

Off to organise my house. My life (T_T)

its.. THE NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

so the new year is here, lets hear a cheer
nah, not really...

I guess I'm not really looking forward to the new year :( Year 12 is SCARY bro. But, I will try to be more optimistic this year!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

1. BE AGGRESSIVE, BE BE AGGRESSIVE 
2. SMILE :D
3. HEADS DOWN, THUMBS UP
4. FIVE AND THREE TO KEEP ME HEALTH-EE
5. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

NUMBER 1: BE AGGRESSIVE, BE BE AGGRESSIVE
This year I'm going to go after my GOALS and make sure that I will achieve them. Because if I pout my mind to it. Boy, I could move mountains YEAH BRO.. loljks. But I will be aggressive, in my work and life because we are literally competing against everyone in our year, not only in our school or suburb or city or even state. Its me against every other year 12 in the COUNTRY. And if that's not scary enough, we could be compared against the world too. so BE AGGRESSIVE, BE BE AGRESSIVE because no one is going to hand you your dream on a plate.

NUMBER 2: SMILE :D
It's important to be happy and be legit happy not just a fake smile you put on but to really SMILE :D it really does make someone's day when you smile at them so even if you are having a bad day and you feel like nothing is ever going to go right. Just take a breath, and vent then let go, and smile have a laugh because even though you feel bad its only yourself telling you that. If you can change your mind, you can change your life. And it all starts if you learn to let go, and smile.

NUMBER 3: HEADS DOWN, THUMBS UP
I'm going to keep my head down, and if it stays down low, for long enough.. I might even get a thumbs up. But I have to keep that head down. Keep it down and focused. Study is not going to be easy. But again, keep at your goals and strive for them, and if you have to climb through shit and do things you don't like tough. Because again if you don't work at it. Don't expect a good result.

NUMBER 4: FIVE AND THREE TO KEEP ME HEALTH-EE
It's actually five and two but if I could eat three fruits in a day I would :D so I changed it to five and three just for mee (Y) Although five veg a day will be a challenge I will try my best because I believe that if you aren't healthy you can't work to the best of your ability because you're tired and if you don't eat the correct foods you're not going to have enough energy to get through the day. Remember, everyone needs protein to be a lean, mean, fighting machine. (Sorry to all those vegetarians, I'm not hating against you but I wouldn't be able to live like you sorry).

NUMBER 5: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....
This is pretty self explanatory. I never get enough sleep. Like look at this its already 1AM and I'm still writing up a blog post *shakes head* I will sleep more and in more of a routine (Y) GOAL.

so these are my new years resolutions, and I will try to start number 5 now by finishing up this post and going to bed (: hope you have all had an awesome new year and all the best, its only going to be as good as you make it so make the best of your life, you only get to live once.

*dying from the corny'ness*
toodles,
