Update

Yes those are my parents and I am mighty proud of them, aren't they lovely? :)

Hola people who are following me, so as you guys may know or rather will find out, I am going to try to lose weight, I've already calculated my daily calorie intake, a year ago I lost 10 lbs effortlessly by counting calories and some short yoga sessions. I am going to start as I find that works the best for me and was the most effective way. Today, I have to really start to try in Math. class, I can't fool around anymore it's been a month into school, I've had plenty of time to adapt to school. After I type this I am going to work on my English Semiotics Assignment. There's my goal for the school year, lose weight and do better in school. Actually there's another one, I want to grow my layers out, when I try to curl my hair it looks horrible and flat because my hair is so thinned out. I dislike it. I'd rather have thicker hair so that my hair doesn't get exposed to heat that much and so that it looks better when it's curl. I want to be able to braid my hair while it's damp, wake up the next day and be able to have nice waves in my hair not nasty pubic hair looking waves... for lack of better words. I supposed fried crimped hair would work but I like the first analogy more. :)

My mommy is finally back from visiting her ill mother out of the country. She was gone for a month and I find that her absence had made me realize many things and the fact that I love her and genuinely care about her. I am now trying to be a better daughter and appreciating her. I do believe I am doing a very good job at it :) EEEEEEE I'm just so happy she's back.

For those who don't know, here are some of the things that I have ordered online and will get soon:

144 Palette

Acrylic Nail Kit

White French Tip Nails

Fimo Canes

Mini Bows (for nails)

OPI Espana: Pamplona Purple

OPI Espana: No Spain No Gain

OPI _____: Do You Lilac It? (I fear that this will be too similar to my MAC Love & Friendship (Cream)Nail Lacquer from MAC's A Rose Romance collection)

Apple iPhone earphones with Mic (I ordered 3 at once since I know I will be losing them easily and because Apple earphones are such horrible quality they will break on me however I am left with very limited choices since I have an iPhone 2G)

Things I want:

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark

OPI Done Out In Deco

Over the Knee Boots

Lomography Diana Deluxe Package (If anyone has relatives in the states please tell me thank you)

Recently, I've really gotten into nail stuff. :| I think I kinda' made a bad choice when I ordered the Fimo Canes, I mean how often would I have the time to sit and do my nails especially since I am in my senior year of school. I am also thinking about getting the 28 neutral palette and the 88 shimmer, I am going to wait to see if the 120 palette in the 144 palette has a lot of shimmers in it, if there is then it'd clearly make no sense that I am going to order an 88 shimmer palette.

I will hopefully do a review on the stuff that I have ordered. I also need to do a haul entry or video from last month.... laziness :)

Well off to homework I go, toodles

Another MIA

Sorry for not updating again. I have been so caught up with... -insert something epic here-. I honestly wish I was caught up with something epic. I'm getting to my usual school "routines" again, no, not the good one but the bad one. You know, the sleep in, go to school, come home, do nothing productive, "Oh look it's past 12 maybe I should start doing my homework", homework, bed by 1-2am. This isn't healthy. It's just I can't seem to get away from this disgusting cycle.

I am looking at Watchmen at the moment and I can't decide whether or not I should continue reading it... it is the long weekend, and I am going to go on a subway ride tomorrow to Downtown to attend the University Fair. Sadly, all I can think about is shopping. I think I'm a shopaholic. This occurred to me as I cleaned my room (Which, I must add is STILL CLEAN! :D) I have a surplus of everything I need/want. Must not be weak and restrain myself from shopping. Tomorrow, I am only allowed to spend $50 food included. To be on the safe side, I am not going to take my debit card with me. That should do the trick.

I have an in-car lesson in less than half an hour. I hate driving it takes so much concentration and effort, after I finish my driving lesson I am going to go volunteer at MCBC, after that I am going to shower and head over to Melissa's house. Or perhaps I should do a haul from the MAC Warehouse sale I was at.. a while ago. Well I am going to go play with Priscilla's MAC Shadestick Sharkskin that she was kind enough to lend to me to experiment with.

Addicted to Plaid.

So the day before school started I went shopping with Daphne and I think ever since I got that really nice plaid shirt, I am now addicted and IN LOVE with plaid. I fricken can't get enough of it. Here's what I am planning to get (these are all from Forever21):

Had to remove the pictures! :)

Do you like plaid? :)

Last Day of Summer Vacation

So today I was at Upper Canada Mall with Daphne and her Aunt (We didn't walk/shop with her) and I am quite happy to say that I only spent $42.48. I bought two nail polishes, an orange one and a teal one from Ardene (I wanted to test the quality). I bought the plaid tunic you see in the picture above and a black gel liner from CK:

Review: I'm not a fan of eyeliner but I fricken LOVE this gel liner. I think I am going to buy some from Coastal Scents to try out more gel liners (Actually I would but their shipping to Canada is so expensive it's not even worth it). The little brush that comes with it is pretty stupid and crappy. I applied this with an angled eyeliner brush from Sephora and wow it's fricken amazing. Tomorrow I will wear this to see how long it lasts and to see if it smudges. I hope the next time I go to Sephora, it's not sold out.

I think I really like Upper Canada Mall I mean I went to a MAC counter in Fairview Mall and apparently the Back To MAC program only offers the choice of Lipsticks. The one at Upper Canada? Nope. They offer: Lipglass, Lipstick and best of all EYESHADOW! I currently have 5 empty eyeshadow pots but Daphne is willing to give me her soon-to-be empty lipstick container so I can have 6. EEEEEE ~ I'm so excited I can't decide over which eyeshadow I should get though. Here are my choices:

• Amber Lights
• Rule
• Violet Trance
• Purple Shower
• Phloof!

Or I can get a nice nude lipstick... Myth would be a nice choice?

If you have any suggestions or recommendation please tell me. Thank you.

The Wrap-Up: Summer 2009

Honestly, I'm really disappointed of how unproductive my summer has been. I mean let's see what my usual days consisted of:

• Waking up at 3-4 pm
• Eating my breakfast at dinner time
• NOT GOING OUT
• NOT WORKING
• NOT TAKING ANY LESSONS
• YouTube
• Listening to music on iTunes
• TV
• Minimal communication with my family
• Getting angry <- really not a hard thing to do when you're at home with a younger brother Sleeping after the sun rises

I eat random means through out the day of course it's just so inconsistent that I couldn't really type down when I ate.

The only productive thing I did was cleaning and organizing my room (shown 2 posts before this)

Things/People I like during Summer 2009:

• Guava Nectar
• Mango Nectar
• Mango
• Papaya
• Melona
• MAC Cosmetic
• Glysomed Hand Cream
• Jean short shorts
• Coloured or black stockings
• Flats
• Late Night Alumni
• Jason Mraz

Of course my selective group of friends would be listed but they're not something I like seasonally. :)

Tip of the season: If you are running to a bus stop to board the bus and the bus leaves before you get there, pretend you're jogging, continue running.

Type a list of things/people that you liked Summer 2009. :)

Love,

Joanne

One QQ (Quick Question)

Can anyone figure out another meaning to this symbol I saw at the Royal Ontario Museum?

The only meaning I can think of was that dinosaurs used headphones.

Leave a comment if you can figure any other meanings.

Toodles,

So I was away for a few days.. rather many days. I've been cleaning my room. What is better than a clean organized room to study in!? I cleaned and organized my closet and makeup :)Here are some photos:

My two most favourite perfumes.

Yeah so that's what most my makeup are in.

The first drawer has all my face stuff. I'm not even going to name what there are since th

ere's a picture.

The second drawer has my eyes stuff

The third drawer has all my lip stuff and some other things

This is a picture of what my closet doors look like.

This is what is inside my first closet

This is what is inside my second closet

These are on the top of the second closet which is different than my first closet which has more of my bags

So yeah that took me a while to clean and organize. I apologize that this is not really detailed. I really have a lot of catching up to do with blogging and uploading pictures. Tomorrow is the last day I spend with my mommy. I hope we're going out for dinner. :) I will see my friend tomorrow in Mississauga while my mom is at work. I need to get up early to get to her house so toodles

Love,

Joanne
