Hellos and Goodbyes


Today I purchased Chi's Silk Infusion and wow it smells like mens cologne. Yum the smell of men :) harharhar. I like it but I've only had it for a few hours I shall try it out some more so that I can get a proper review of it.

Other than that I had a pretty fun day today it just sucks that it was so cold. I hate being reminded about how summer is ending soon and it's almost autumn. School ugh. I still need to go back to school shopping. My like awesome-est friends are going to be at a cottage tomorrow for 7 days. On the plus side, my mom is going to Vietnam soon :) Yay!

I don't relly feel like updating today so toodles!

Love,
Joanne

Driving fail.

So as you can see in the title, today I experienced something that I'd like to call driving fail. I was in the car drinking a 695ml can of Arizona Green Tea at the beginning of the ride, I finished 10 minutes into the ride (we were on our way to some paint balling place), and yeah I'd say "by the end of the ride" except that was when the driving fail occurred. See, we had a fully functioning GPS, there was a roadblock so we have to make a detour and landed up on highway 407. We left at the closest exit which was Fairview Mall. So here we were with the fully functioning GPS but we spent 30 minutes driving around looking for the right exit... why? Because Ferdi (the driver) and Daniel (the one in the passenger seat) decided not to use the GPS for the purpose of navigating us to the right destination but instead they used it as a map... why? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? 30 minutes I held in my pee for 30 minutes. That is all I have to say.

Things to do Before Summer Break Ends

My feet smells bad, just thought you all should know.
They're my flats, they're old and smell horrible.
But have no fear world(Priscilla) I am going to get new ones soon.

So according to the title, this is a list of things for me to do before my summer break ends:
  • Go to the beach
  • Go to Ikea
  • Remove carpets
  • Paint walls
  • Organize my room
  • Have friends come over and leave me notes/sign my wall
  • Back to school shopping
  • Save up at least $600 in my bank ($300 for warehouse sale [see previous post])
  • Take over the world
I wonder if anyone reads this...

Holla for a dolla

Yeah I couldn't think of a good title but whatever. I think today was a great day even though the rather better part of it was random, last minute and totally uncalled for. I love Priscilla's family. :) They're so cool. So let's see what did I do today?
2:?? pm I woke up and showered because I really needed to wash my hair
3:?? Ate cereal, checked for bus times
4:?? Did random crap on my computer (really by "random" I meant try to force someone to go to the mall with me to pick up (buy) Estee Lauder and MAC warehouse sale tickets). Obviously I failed at forcing people to come with me so I had to go alone
4:50 I left my house
5:08 I boarded the bus
6:00 I was still on the bus
6:01 I got off the bus

Yeah okay so I was supposed to meet the person who were selling the tickets to me at 6. Just for all those out there, the bus was supposed to be at the stop at 5:03. It was late, YRT (York Region Transit) is notorious for never being on time. It's late when you go to the stop early. It's early when you go to the stop late. Either way you're bound to wait.

So let's see where was I before the YRT rant...

Okay so 6:?? I went to the bank to get some money to pay for the tickets
6:15 mission accomplished then headed to Sephora to check the Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs for Daphne. Called Sang and Daphne. Talked to Sang because Daphne didn't pick up until later.

Anyways who cares what time I did what, let's skip to the exciting parts

Obtained MAC warehouse tickets
Today I finally found where the bus stop at Fairview Mall is.
Went to Priscilla's TKD class.
Had some old dimsum
Went to Boston Pizza

Pizza


I have been craving pizza for a few days now.
Just thought you all should know.
That is all.
Toodles!
Someone tell me that doesn't look delicious!

Someday, Monday, Slow Day.

Yum S'mores are delicious. So right now I am sitting in front of my computer listening to some more wonderful works of Mr. Mraz while sipping on some Arizona Green Tea. I really don't understand why anyone would need 695mL of this stuff, I guess it's nice for them to give you so much in a can but it is quite heavy to carry around, especially in a purse (I was at the Royal Ontario Museum a few days ago and decided to bring a can with me). I don't remember who it was but one of my friends told me that these drinks will give me cancer. I don't really worry too much about it since everything can give you cancer. It is 21 degrees celsius outside at the moment but I am shivering inside.

Earlier I was watching some good old cartoons on TV, I haven't really noticed how much time I spend in front of my computer, it's kinda' odd. I think this year I will spend more time cleaning, studying and reading. Of course that's what I say every year but a few of my really great friends read a lot, I don't think it'd be that bad I mean with the proper book selection. Does anyone know of any good books? Please do not suggest the Twilight series, thank you.

After watching TV I went on the computer (no surprise) and I was trying to see if the Estee Lauder and MAC warehouse sale tickets were out yet. I really hope I can get tickets for my friends and I. I am so excited to go to IMATS. The only reason why I really want to go there is to get the Ben Nye palette and look at the works of some other peoples. I wish I had that much interest for cleaning my room and for school. I'd be so smart, I will probably be gifted.

This [school] year I really want to cut down on the use of my computer, read more, keep my room clean, run/bike more often, do more chores (gotta' help out my parents), study more, work on projects a bit everyday and not procrastinate. I hope I can do that. I also have to work more often so I can buy my own stuff, summers been so odd for me. I don't have a normal sleep pattern so I don't even feel like working anymore, I haven't worked for over a month, it kinda' really sucks to know that I can't use my money lavishly. Definitely going to try to work this week. I wonder how I am going to keep a balanced life, my "New School Year Resolutions" seem really time consuming. I think it'd be worth it if I go shopping once every two weeks (as a reward for being able to do all the things listed). I'm not really in the mood to go out shopping a lot anymore, I guess this is a good thing, I hate getting ready to go out I hate bussing. Ugh. I wonder if there are anyway for me to get straight hair or at least hair that looks "good" without needing to use extreme heat. I want long, healthy hair for prom.

I think I am going to type more of my feelings and thoughts later. It is currently 4:08 pm. Toodles world (or just Priscilla)!

Love,
Joanne
Okay so to add on to the post, I have decided that I shouldn't add on more. Today was a pretty boring day. The highlight of the day would be that I got a really nice shade of red on my lips with the 88 Coastal Scents palette and just a regular lip balm. What do you guys think about the colour?

Tomorrow I am going to Fairview Mall to pick up 3 tickets to somewhere awesome for myself and 2 awesome girls. :) I am excited already. September 12, 2009 will be an epic day.

Until tomorrow,
Joanne

The First Blog

Dear Internet (or whom this may concern), so as you can see in the title up there *points up* this is my first blog. This seems pretty cool right now. :) I hope I get into the habit of keeping this updated. Today is what... Sunday (only because I have yet to sleep and I do not consider it a new day yet), so today I have battled with my room and my other closet which has my old clothes in there, I am going to keep accessories in that closet instead, why put it to waste by storing stuff that I don't need? I also drew up this totally sweet concept for my new room (yeah I'm not a professional so it looks shitty. I am also left handed and using a right handed computer mouse):
Anyways, I opened the closet and good god it was literally filled from top to bottom full of old clothes, I can't wait to drop them off at those donation boxes tomorrow. :) Pretty awesome and straight forward picture. I think I've cleaned for 5 hours today with breaks of course. I only took 3 breaks though so really I did clean for a long time. Tomorrow I will battle some more with my room but so far I do believe I am losing. I think my room looks messier than before but that's because there are clothes all over the floor. I wish I had made this blog thing earlier so I could have taken a before and after picture and I think it'd be kinda' funny to compare the real thing to the crappy picture I drew on Photoshop CS4. I just think it'd be so cool to have a new environment for my room, great way to start off the new school year, the final year of high school, I can't wait until it's over.

So it's almost 4:00 am and here I am downstairs on my computer typing this blog entry, listening to Mr. Mrazs music on iTunes and drinking some Black Currant juice, which I might add, is delicious! My eyes are itching but I am up typing this and talking to a friend on MSN about contacts. Ahaha. He is struggling with his first pair of contacts. I remember the first time I was trying to wear mine... what a pain. I do believe I have mastered "contact lens", what a fricken' accomplishment right?

Summer is almost over, I think this years summer vacation is definitely the most wasted one. I get so angry thinking about how much I've wasted the summer I don't even want to remind myself and go into detail with it. So because I've wasted my summer so much I am going to plan out the rest of my summer and adhere to my plans. I have so much things to do but really my priority is spending time with my friends, and my super duper sexy (to-be) room. :) I can't wait for the finished product that means I gotta' cleancleanclean! Honestly I wish I had OCD just so I can be a better "clean" person, by clean I totally meant neat and tidy. I admit to being a total slob. I have to change my ways before my housemates in University finds out! D: With my new room, I am going to get rid of everything that I find I hide my garbage in, that means that I won't have anywhere to put it so I'd be forced to throw it out right? If that works out the way I planned, I am so going to have a room with less places for me to hide junk in when I am in University.

Hah! I just read this "Shortcuts: press Ctrl with: B = Bold, I = Italic, P = Publish, S = Save, D = Draft " Total lies. I don't think those "shortcuts" work for me because I am using a Mac... :/

Today I had dinner at Congee Wong (a pretty awesome restaurant). I ate some rice powder cake things, calamari, fried noodles, and salmon congee. I use to love salmon but I've been eating so much of it recently that I am starting to get sick of it. Over the month of August I've been to Kaze (a all you can eat sushi restaurant) at least once a week, I am pretty sick of sushi but last week (the one that just passed) I haven't been to Kaze once. Hopefully I can restore my appetite for sushi by September 1st. I am due back to Kaze after registration day for school. I am going to Kaze with Natalie, Gary and hopefully others... Speaking of Natalie and Gary, they are going to be my housemates if I get into the University I want to. There's another person who will also be one of my housemates, Ferdi. I'm not going to type out personality profiles because that's just plain odd and I also am not a close friend of Ferdi so even if I wanted to type personality profiles, it'd be completely incorrect. Honestly, if I did get into the University that I wanted to I'd be more happy knowing that I am rooming with the wonderful people mentioned, I think they're definitely going to be a great motivation for me to be happy and to stay in the program. Gary and I plan and predict things that the four of us will be doing when we live together, it sounds pretty awesome. Nerf fights, Friday game nights, Pizza Tuesdays, University will be awesome.

I wonder if people will actually read this since it takes a lot of time for me to type this. Of course even if no one else reads it I just like to type and sum up my day/thoughts/feelings. It feels nice to remember and for me to express myself. I know that Priscilla will be reading this. By the way Priscilla if you are reading this "0HPRISCILLLA". :) I think I am going to end this blog entry here and type on my wish list and add more things for me to do on my calender Just because I like to keep myself busy! I think I should take the time now to thank whoever's read this. Or rather not, I am feeling really tired, goodnight world

Enjoy,
Joanne
