Some Halloween decorating that I find absolutely cute!
So today was our Student Development Day which was the worse day ever. Yeah sure we didn't go to class, but we were on our butts sitting on the floor for the whole day while taking History lecture notes, listening and learning Ethics from TOK and listening to already listened to College Presentation. In History, our teacher got a professor to come in and lecture us on the Arab-Israeli Conflict with the Cold War which I kept wanting to close my eyes and sleep but I couldn't because we had all the history teachers there and one was watching our class. It was such a pain to be sitting on my butt for the longest time... I felt my butt went flat... and I am talking about butts. But yeah, nothing happened at all today like I felt like it was useless. I should of stayed home and worked on homework and college applications.

So once we got home, my mom had her jewelry buddies over and the were making beads together and we had our yummy snack including Halloween chocolates and Pocky from my mom's friend (: We sat down and watched a Halloween movie that we watched when we were young, Twitches Too. Yep, I need to finish Calculus and start cracking on my Common App essay so my friend can help me grammar check it tonight (yes, I suck at grammar)

13 Days of Halloween Series : D-I-Y Costumes

Today my friends and I are having this huge hangout/party thing where we are going to be making our costumes! Making your own costumes not only help save money but also show originality and creativity! This year my friends and I are being obese sheeps!!! (LOL) So here are some easy D-I-Y costumes that incorperate everyday clothing pieces that after Halloween can be worn as part of your wardrobe so you won't have to toss it out or keep it in the basement collecting dust. So here are some D-I-Y costumes from different stores we usually shop for our clothes (: *note: these are my opinion of the costumes but feel free to mix, match or get something else (:

Dotted Bow Back Dress | Pointed Bow Flats in Black or Nude
70 Denier Ribbed Knit Tights | Light Pink Glittered Nail Polish
Matte & Shimmer Blush
Forever 21 Ballerina : This look is completed with the trendy ballerina bun which can be down either by cutting a sock or using a hair donut! Then having a glittery light pink polish will add a little sparkle to the outfit while I feel that the makeup should be natural, dewy and a hint of blush shall help with that (:

Leopard Fuzzy Hat | 2-pack 40d tights | leopard ballet flats
leopard print cardigan | plain black long sleeve top
leopard print jeans | black organza flared skirt | leopard print shoes
leather black boots

H&M: Leopard or Cheetah : this a 2 outfit setting depending on which appeals to you more. First outfit is the black top with the leopard jeans and knee high black boots and the second is the leopard cardigan with the flared organza skirt, tights and leopard flats or shoes. Crimped hair add some edginess of a leopard or cheetah and you can use the leopard hat from H&M or find some ears from your local Halloween store. If you want some more leopard/cheetah, get some leopard hair extensions and clip it into your hair (:

Plaid Flannel Western Shirt | Stitched Cowboy Boots
Dark destroyed jegging | Braided Leather Belt | Fringed Bag
Cowboy Hat

American Eagle : Cowgirl : For this, braids are usually the typical cowgirl hairstyle. Add a bandana to add some cowgirlness to the outfit having fly aways to ensure the down to earth girlyness.

7 row chain and faceted bead necklace | leather motor jacket
long white sleeve shirt | metallic, crackled black leggings 
side zipped riding boots | wide two tone ring | 7 ring set
metal aviator sunglasses

Express : Motocyclist    This edgy biker look must have the leather moto jacket and the combat, black boots. Adding heavy metal jewelry such as rings and chains would help toughen up the look. A white bandana also helps toughen up the look too. Use of a smokey eye and maybe an eyebrow tattoo is the brownie points on top!

Found these at Bath & Body Works....B, S and I had this huge things for obese sheep ever since we watched the movie Just Go With It.... buying this asap!

So these picture are not in the order in which I went about my day, but today felt like a weekend because I didn't get to go to school because I had to go downtown to the local court with my family to get my sister's and I middle names legalized since my sister didn't have one and I had a letter, A. So we sat at court for about 30 minutes waiting for the judge to arrive which thank gawd for me bringing a book (Insurgent...amazing book so far), and it was interesting that once the judge came in we got to hear court cases go in front of us such as divorce cases and name changes. Then our turn came and the judge was asking my sister and I all these questions about school which I admit, I was afraid at first because I mean we are in court and there is a bailiff next to us. But we did end up with with our middle names...yeshhh! Afterwards we walked about downtown which we saw a penguin fire hydrant! It was absolutely adorable!!!!

Then we went and had Thai food....yum!

Because my sister and I had to go back to school to volunteer at my CAS project of tutoring elementary students Mandarin Chinese, we went to an outdoor mall to return some of my sister's unwanted birthday presents (which she racked up a huge amount of cash) and browse a bit before heading out back to school. I didn't get anything except a free underwear because I am waiting for my money to come in, but I did see items I definitely wanted to get if it wasn't expensive such as the mint fuzzy sweater in H&M and a high low dress. While at Bath & Body Works, I spotted these adorable sheep slippers and stuff animals... and since my friends and I have been obsessing over obese sheeps (we are even being these for Halloween) I am going to buy it next time I going to buying these and wearing them around my house (:

We had to rush over to the school and I got assigned 3rd grade along with one of the leaders of the club and it was....they couldn't be quiet. They lost all their stars in 5 minutes and they needed 10 stars for candy... errrrr. Then I got 1st grader which was better but we finished the lesson plan quickly so we like sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" like 50 times.

While we were there, my mom went to our mall and shopped up some Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister products. I got bright blue jeans and there dark blue scalloped shorts. Then I was able to get a plug in scent thing and a cranberry scent porter. The plug in scent thing was white with a pink flower, and I am excited to use it in my room because we are not allowed candles in there which when I get my own apartment I shall be using a ton. Now I can shop for scent things to plug in to my plug in scent porter!!!!


Until Next Time My Chickadees.

Random Daily Dosage

So I'm just lounging on my couch with huge senioritis hanging over my head. As you can tell, I'm watching The Voice....omg I totally heart Dez!!! I hope he wins. This week for our school is short because we had a play to watch today, a student development day Wednesday, and I don't get to go tomorrow because I got to go to get my middle name legalized. So just felt like giving a random dosage of my life.

Daily Lip Routine

Especially with the cold starting to blow in here at my home, I have to start taking better care of my skin and lips. The lip routine I'm about to share is what I do everyday and if very helpful to do because it will help take care of your lips.

1. Lip Scrub (scrub your lips!)    scrubbing your lips is a way to help prevent your lips to chap and have flakes show up when you wear lipgloss and lipstick (I know that has happen a bunch to me before) but ever since I started scrubbing my my lips, my lips doesn't flake. Using a lip scrub acts like a exfoliator to help clean off dead skin off your lips. However, I use a tooth brush which also do the same thing. So after I am done brushing my teeth, I would take the bristles and rub my lips with it, exfoliating my lips.

2. Lip Balm (moisturize your lips!)  moisturizing your lips is the absolute must! They help your lips from chapping in the cold and helps keep them lush and beautiful. Also, I learned that using lip balm before applying lipgloss and lipstick will help prevent the flaking of your lips and the sticky feeling. The lip balm will ensure the lipstick/lipgloss to glide right on. I usually moisturize my lips in the morning before applying lipstick and lipgloss and at night before I go to bed. Also, lip balm is something to carry with you everyday because it will help keep them from chapping during the day and can even add a bit of shine, acting like lipgloss.

or

3. Lip Butter (the 3 in 1 step!)  this 3 in 1 product from Revlon (also something similar by L'Oreal) is a product that is helpful when I don't have anytime or on the go. It is a lip balm, lipstick, and lipgloss all in one. I am a huge fan of multifunctional products and this is a must have because it does all three at once saving you time and money!

4. Lipstick (coloring those lips!)  I love lipsticks but going to high school I feel kind of uncomfortable of wearing bright colors, bright reds, or deep colors to school because most of them usually go without lipstick. But I do wear the nudes, pink and light corals and having an obsession brewing now! But lipsticks help add to outfits giving them a statement and a pop of color! Rock those lipsticks! (:

5. Lipgloss (glossing/finishing touch!)   Lipgloss is like the sealer and the bow on the whole package. The give the give more colors and give the shine in the gloss. I also have a huge collection of gloss, but I know for a fact that boys don't really like lipgloss because they make lips sticky and unappealing. But also in my opinion I don't like my lips too shiny because it looks like I have grease all over my lips. However, I do wear lip gloss using a lip brush to I am able to control it from going over my face and minimize the amount of gloss used therefore minimizing the shine!

Diary: College Applications...'Nuff Said

picture from this website: redbubble.com

I don't have any photos sadly to post so I guess this will just be a diary entry...also I didn't post Sunday's diary entry because I did absolutely nothing....at all.

So this morning, I set my alarm for 4.10am so I could wake up and study for my chemistry and history and then do my Mandarin reading reflection. However, even though I woke up at 4.10am, my body would not get up so I went back to sleep until 5.45am which then I rushed to get ready and didn't have time to study so I just did my reading reflection.

All we did in Mandarin IV was give our presentation on education which was a bore and gave me time to study chemistry and history.

Biology, I found out from B and S that we had an oral chapter 17 and 18 vocabulary quiz if we had time after our lecture and I thought that was on Wednesday after the test, so I freaked out for like the most part, but we didn't have one.

Lunch, Z left because on the weekend she absolutely had no time to do anything including studying for the two tests so she left and J was P.O that she skipped, but really everyone would do the same thing if her situation was put on them. Our school announced that we were able to sign up for homecoming court and really in my school homecoming court is taken as a joke and no one really does it because we don't have a homecoming dance and its only for the Powerpuff Game that is taking place like next week. B and I decided we wanted to nominate S for Homecoming King and we got the form and he was soooooo P.O which was funny because we weren't going to do it because I mean come on who wants to write an essay.... not me.

Chemistry kinetics test was okay like I had no idea how to solve for the rate constant like I plugged it into the rate expression but I couldn't get k by itself and with time running out....I made some stuff up :P But my teacher, Mrs. P didn't distinguish which is HL and which is SL so we had to do all and I didn't really study the HL material so I just bs'd my way through.

History was actually not that bad except it was freezing in the classroom. Seriously my hands turned into icicles. I felt confident but some parts I really didn't go into much detail as he wanted too so I'm not sure.

My mom, sister and I went to watched the premiere of Once Upon A Time, but my sister tivo'd the recap special and not the premiere so we ended up watching the recap which is so good because it really sums up what is happening and got my sister and mom into the show. We all ended up watching the premiere on the computer via hulu.com. The premiere was absolutely wonderful! So excited to see what happens! Did any of you guys watched the premiere?

So I finally sat down to work on my college applications....Ohmygawd....it was hell (excuse my language). Luckily, I had my friend D who completed it because I had so many questions because I wanted to make sure I had everything perfect. It is not difficult but tedious. My brain at one point wanted to explode and so I turned to my savior....coffee and cookies. I finally at 9.35 pm finished my first application, sent my transcript, and paid my application fee. Lets hope everything goes well. I still have 5 more application to finish...yay me....Now I have finish my homework (Hamlet...and Biology....oh geez) and study the ACT ( I don't I have time). So I'm going to go cry in a corner now, just kidding!
