In My Wardrobe: Chunky Sweater

Hello hello. I'm finally back from X'mas and boxing day shopping and can't wait to share it all on my blog. I hope all the boys and girls didn't buy too much on boxing day!

Why have diamonds, when you can have these?

I love school and I love being a University student. There's just something about Uni that makes life seem fun and exciting. Maybe it's the "I'm legal and all grown up now, but I don't have to be completely responsible for all the real grown up thing till I graduate".

Woke up feeling different

 Once again, I have learned self portraits are ridiculously difficult to accomplish.

Please don't laugh at me. I've never tried these kind of self portraits before. If I look like a fool... k, not if. I kinda do. I mean, I really do look like a fool. If people know me in real life, they would know I usually don't act like this.

I thought I'd share a couple photos from a photographer I adore.

Polaroid Moment

LOOK WHAT I FOUND?

Alexander Wang Rocco Bag

After mulling over the Rocco bag for days, I finally gathered enough courage to call up Holt Renfrew and inquire about this baby. A funny incident happened during the phone call that only led to a slight disappointment as to how much their sales associates know about the brands they carry.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Sorry for not posting lately. I'm so busy with school but as soon as I'm done, I promise I'll get back on track with my blog :)

Creative people walk around wearing outlandish clothes, observing some kind of strange diet (anything from vegan to nothing but cigarettes and red wine)

ohmygawd. Just look at those shoes! If these were available in Calgary(most likely not) I would definitely be there to purchase them and since it's a collaboration with H&M, us girls wouldn't have to break our bank.

Java latte and fat, AWAKE!

How else to keep myself awake when studying for Sociology then having some homemade latte (delicious) with whip (guilty pleasure). Of course the whip was optional but "hey! We only live once", so why don't we top it off with some white and fluffy fat served from an aerosol can?

    

A starving me decided to whip up a quick dish with what I can find in the fridge. It's very simple and delicious (that is if you love some spicy food).

Ingredients:

1 Egg
Few small lavers of seaweed
A bowl of rice
and KIMCHI

So Halloween is around the corner...

So I'm a little obsessed with cats and taking pictures of my cats....
So the photo is eerie and dark....

But I like it and that's all that matters.

She was once a beautiful girl...

An endless fascination for birds. Thanks for taking me to Banff.

I feel so torn apart on the inside. The struggles of meeting the right person during the wrong time. Cruel...

Oh, self-portraits, why you so difficult?
Out of the 65 photos I took, only 4 worked. However, I'm only posting two because one contained my face and the other one probably wouldn't be appreciated by significant other. HAHA

Smell us from a mile away :)

A brief reflection on the events that has happened in my life over the 365+ days when I had moved away from this home. Now that I'm back, sitting in the this same chair, typing away on the same keys mounted on this very same desk. Perhaps everything may seem unchanged and perhaps it might have been too good of a dream that I just had awaken from. 

I've made a group of new friends, lost that exact group of friends as the school year ended, left behind the two and a half years of what I couldn't really recall as a really good or really terrible relationship and met someone else that I considered as "truly wonderful". While trying to patch up my relationship with the people I should really care about, I quite frequently find myself struggling to keep people that are unworthy of my attention. It's quite the disappointment to see how easily some people change in the blink of an eye. One minute they call you up and "apologize" to resenting your presence, next minute we are back to the beginning as if that phone call had never existed. 

As I try to step forward and become a better person, I often find myself being pushed back for reasons that even I'm not really too sure of. But when one road closes, I find myself another path to step on.

This time, I know it's different simply because I want it to work.
