☾ ♥ officially 20 ♥ ☺

Hi everyone! Yesterday was my 20th birthday! Some heart-warming celebrating went down last night, and I couldn't be happier. I guess right now I am writing those morning after post. Self-reflection? Confessions? hmmm, well, I do know that I've been a good girl this year...a lot has changed, but does bad girls have more fun? Now that's a superficial question of the day for y'all!

So, I've been having a good time here in Kingston, Canada! the city is beautiful and antique-y, the kids here (in Queens University) are so preppy it's ridiculous. Everyone has a pair of Hunter boots, Lulu Lemon pants, it's like a religion here or something. But nothing against them though, I actually enjoyed the sight. I'm just happy that I could still fit in with the rest of those kids since I've gotten too much of an art school attitude on. (and that's not good. I hate it.)

As I take in the old english styled academic environment that surrounds me, I cannot help but confess that I am sort of inspired! The uniforms (even though they don't wear any), the groupies, the home-comings, and the pride! Woot! So much energy! ah! please! So, here's a little mood board I made! 

Also, I watched Dr.Seuss in 3-D, the day before my birthday with my beau!! and it was s.u.p.e.r emotional for me. I cant believe I cried, the movie itself was ... okay, but Im just so happy to see what happened after the Lorax left! It's like I've been waiting for twelve years and....here I am, in my last night of being an "teen"ager, the answer to "UNLESS" is unlocked. I can't even continue without being emotional again! GAH@IM JUST SO HAPPY! 

I guess that's about how much I can type for now(liking the Albert Einstein poster behind me? yea, thats right, our hair matches!) OH! and lastly, I'm happy that I've been able to keep up with this blog, one of my wishes for this year was to be able to motivate myself to blog. Even if there isn't a lot of readers, blogging for the sake of mental health? haha, too much, too much.

I'm really thankful and greatful for everything, Thank you mommy thank you daddy, and thank you Rosie and thank you Joey. you guys are my four elements of life...I LOVE YOU GUYS TO DEATH ♥♥♥

p.s. ♥Happy birthday to Sada Fann from the blog "W.C.I.L.S"! we have the same birthday! yay and the girls from the blog are so inspiring and has such great style that I have been looking up to ever since high school! 

♥✡♥✡♥ CELEBRITY OBSESSION ✡♥✡♥

Teenagers worshiping celebrity is nothing new. In fact, it's been around the block even before The Beatles! (Oh yea, talk about celebrity obsession with The Beatles.) I think it's perfectly normal for teenagers to go through that stage. I mean, Who didn't worship The Beatles, uh, and Elvis, and Nirvana, and Britney Spears? ITS FUN. What brings friends or people together more effectively than worshipping the same ...celebrity/god/thing together? and what's more fun than decorating your entire bedroom with photographs and objects? It's visually pleasing, and it helps exercising the creativity side of us! 

So, why am I even arguing about this? 

Because I just found out about .... The "CWS".......

The "CWS" is a shorten name for, "Celebrity worship syndrome", and it's legit. According to psychologists, it's a personality disorder. While I do agree that there are problems that are cause by overly obsessive behaviors, I don't think that teenagers should have this "personally disorder" crap put on them. I saw the article about this from a parenting website, and they suggested parents to carefully analyze their kid, and be sensitive to the symptoms. It's not that I don't agree the potential danger in being obsessive over a celebrity (because I do think it can be quite dangerous and we should be careful), it's just that the way grown-ups like to deal with this is through "authority", through "I-know-it-all". 

And that's just pathetic.

This was part of the article written on teenager with CWS, and this is what they said:

"Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self esteem and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have impaired relationships with their parents. Allowing this type of obsession to go unchecked can cause serious problems."

Well, who's fault is it? Maybe if parents are more sensitive to the "actual relationship" with their kids, they wouldn't have to worry about them having low self-esteem and depression. People can argue with me all they want, but I always believe that parents have more responsibility than they think they have. I don't want to get into that whole freud thing and psychology thing, but a child's development is heavily dependent on the parent. 

Just to show how much effort people have put into the whole CWS thing, this was how they define the level of CWSness.  

Researchers have identified 3 levels of "celebrity worship":
1. Entertainment-social: A normal appreciation of a celebrity because of their ability to entertain.
2. Intense-personal: Compulsive feelings about a celebrity; a person may feel a special bond with a celebrity or that their life is also affected by whatever happens to a celebrity.  
3. Borderline-pathological: Characterized by uncontrollable behaviors and fantasies regarding events involving favorite celebrities; may think that the celebrity is aware of them or would come to their rescue if needed or may feel angry and frustrated if a celebrity does not respond to letters or calls.       

So parents! Keep on paying attention to the level of CWSness in your kids instead of really caring about how they feel and what they want to express, because one day, maybe it's not the celebrity that make your kid go Borderline-Pathological, maybe......... it's you.

LALALA, ANYWAYS! HAPPY POST RIGHT?

I hope the photographs were able to uplift the topic a bit (aren't they gorgeous? like eye candy?)

Sorry if I make you confused or angry, Im not even sure if I am writing in a coherent fashion or not, but I'm sort of in the mood to type! so I guess it's sort of a exercise for me.

(☞ﾟOﾟ)☞ It's Adventure Time!! with jake the dog & finn the human ❍ᴥ❍

It's official, I love Adventure Time, and holy crap can I ever stop watching it.

Since I downloaded a few episodes purely our of boredom from iTunes, I just kept wanting to see more and more of those cut, awkward, and unbelievably funny cartoon of all time! also, I think I am addicted to the theme song, I found myself singing in the shower and on my way home from class. (I hope that's normal.) 

Hawaii Werewolf & Drug Dealing Shark!

I think they are super adorable!

Is is fashion???

                                                                                                                                                       NYLON Japan

I couldn't help it. It made my day.

WHAT IS THIS? (and Ms.Red kinda looks like Miley Cyrus with red mud on her face)

Usually, I consider myself quite fashion forward. Anything that goes from Gaga to Prada was all considerably acceptable and quite appealing for me. But this, this is just hilarious.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the clothes, I think they are alright.
But the face paint? .... seriously? It's a bit unnecessary. I can understand that the entire concept of this collection might be the focus on the colors and it's representation and personality through clothes and models, but... face paint?

I feel bad for those girls honestly. If I was going to stay thin and practice walking everyday in order to walk on those runway shows, I'd like to look decent enough so when I am old and saggy, I can look back at those pretty photos of myself being a MODEL, NOT A CIRCUS CLOWN.


I cant seem to find the name or brand for this show, but would I really want to know?

maybe not.

She puts the calories on

So perfect, it's poison, you are no good for me. well, I know.             Your my junk food baby, junk food baby. She puts the calories on, like an extra cheese calzone. Now I'm tired and fatigued, at night I can't sleep, and I'm wondering how come.                                             

                                                             

well, it's probably because it's sunday after saturday, and on sundays, I can't think of anything else but food. 

I am procrastinating..not good. Monday is tomorrow! loads of work. oh. my. god. Let's get to work.

I feel like a teenage girl.... AND IT'S OK!

nails with bff!

So, I'm Orange flamingo & you're Electric fuchsia!

The Ten reasons not to talk

You see, English is my second language.
Dark hair, dark eyed,
I am an inked question mark, among the seas of foreign alphabets.

anyways, so I came across this rather funny and legit post from Nicolasee.
Here it is!

The Ten reasons not to talk (or why you didn't talk)

1. you might be boring
2. they might not understand you
3. you might stumble on your words
4. they might not hear you so you end up talking to yourself
5. they might think you like them
6. you might offend them
7. you might strike a passionate topic and have to listen to them talk about rubbish
8. you might miss the bus
9. you might lose your voice
10. you might fall in love with them


...and they might not love you back!
