Bad Habits + OOTD

Hola! LOL I may be smiling here but I sincerely think beneath that smile is stress, and worry, and whining. The more I look at it, I think: man... I must be a incredibly difficult person. Haha. Sometimes, I'm certainly ashamed of myself. I mean... looking at my logic it's kind of stupid too.

But, that I can't help. For some reason, it's just my personality. Which is my bad point!

I was spending my week watching Hotaru no Hikari, which is a J-Drama. And in it, mentions something called: Himona-Onna, meaning Dried Fish Women. And I know that may sound weird, but basically... it's a office lady who after work, comes home all lazy and slacking, and well, incredibly messy. LOL Which is what the main character is: Hotaru. I thought it was cute, but looking at it, I'm kind of a Himona Onna myself aren't I? Except I'm no office lady, I'm a student. Coming home from school, it's relaxation time. I change into my PJ of shorts and a baggy tee. Ew. But seriously, that;s what makes me comfortable. And unfortunately, it's not like I have those totally adorable matching pyjama sets. No, I just have random loose tee's and comfortable shorts. Actually, when I sleep, I love the feeling of blankets around my legs and it's comfortable.
(Hopefully I'm not creepin' you guys out) LOL

But yes. The point of this post I think, is to discuss bad habits.

If only it were as easy as this sign demonstrates; driving one way or another. But clearly, habits are like... haunting. Like a shadow over your shoulder. You kind of know in your mind that you shouldn't be doing them, but it's a habit and in times when your under some kind of emotional state to lead you to your old habits, you just do 'em. Cause it relieves you, or makes you comfortable or something. LOL

For me, my habit is nail biting. I know, it sounds gross and some of you might be icky 'bout it. But seriously. It should be a disease or something, cause I hate doing it, but it relieves that boredom, nervousness, fear feeling I get. Also, in a way it distracts me as well.

As a child, I also did thumb-sucking, but for some reason that was a hurdle I could easily get over with. But over the years, biting nails has always been my biggest issue. It's gotten so bad that my ring finger nail has decreased in size... by quite a bit. It's scary. >__< But you know, everyday is a challenge. And I'm taking it step by step, even if tomorrow I fail by biting nails, it's a work in progress. So close I reach my goal, but only fail again. But failure doesn't mean you stop trying.

And the most important thing as well, is that you aren't alone. There are actually people elsewhere who are similar in your habits (that I'm sure of). My mom scolds me every time, so I'm trying my best! HAHA.

Anyway, thinking bout it... Like the picture above, there really is a possibility for habits to be cured right? If you decide to take the right path; with determination and the right mind ... anything can be succeeded! (:

To conclude, the online community is such a great resource as well, and probably a great motivation too! So you can always find support or answers somewhere. ^___^ That's where I get my motivation, to see others doing nailart and being able to do such special designs that short nails can't be done with. Plus, the reward of seeing how far you've come is quite the joy too!

So smile on and work hard, ganbatte! (:

Oh yes, shall I show a OOTD today or tomorrow? LOL It's from last week so does it still count as a OOTD?  

I'll just do it today cause I THINK I'll be busy tomorrow. So here we go:

EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSE TO BE TUCKED IN. XD My bad. LOLOL

Anyway:

Sweater - Old Navy (yes, OLD NAVY. I never expected myself but the sweater was cute okay.)

Jeans - Blue Notes and the belt is from Stitches.
:3 I don't know what I'm gonna wear tomorrow, but probably shorts. ><
Anyway, love you guys lots. I'll speak later.

You guys should tell me if you got any bad habits: email me at: arizonaa.vu@gmail.com

I'd be happy to answer. (:

OOTD, Hair and ZOO.

Hey guys! LOL Surprisingly I'm already back to posting. That's because I'm so excited to write, and the new laptop makes everything so much easier to access. All I have to do is stick my SD Card from my camera into the built-in SD slot without having to wait another 10 mins to upload the photos. It's a quick proccess, and I don't have to really do much (like finding the camera cord I tend to lose... LOL).

-Floral Tank(Sheer-ish) from Stitches
-Black Shorts from Forever 21
-White Belt from Stitches
-White Bandeau (longer length) from Garage

 So yes! This was the outfit I wore to Calgary, and you can see my terrible tan line. LOL I knew it'd be hot so I decided on this, and I definitely didn't want anymore gross tan lines. I love the tank, it has that kind of bottom end tie. And normally I'd be pretty uncomfortable wearing stuff like this (tanks) because I seriously have flabby arms, but that day I didn't really care. I just wore what I want, and felt more comfortable than I thought I would. (:

Ah, well, for the hair, I played it simple. I left it down but added some occasional curls to blend in with my hair.



I actually prebraided it the night before but it wasn't as good so I ended recurling parts with my straightner. My roots are slowly peeking out more and more, and I only hope my hair continues to grow. Eventually, I plan to redye with Palty Rasberry Jam (it's a red shade) because well, I really want to go back to my red head days. LOL

DERP.

So that's just more of me. xD My face has been super derpy lately. WHY DO I HAVE BUSHY BROWS? And I get even more nervous thinking about changing them, it's like: "What if I don't look good?". You know how some girls fill out their brows? I look hideous if I do, or maybe I shouldn't even try at all since it's already so full... But seriously, I'm jealous of you girls who seem to have PERFECT brows. TwT

LOL

OKAY. Time for the interesting part right? The zoo. If you guys haven't visited the Calgary zoo, it's nice and big and it toally beats Edmonton's zoo. We went to see the new Penguin exhibit and I loved it! The room was cool and artic-y and the temperture was relaxing after sending a while lining up and walking in the blistering heat! I don't know how people in who live in Las Vegas or desert areas live... because in 25-30 degrees weather, I'm already dead and complaining. So koodos to you guys.

Here's just a bit of pictures of what I was able to see:

 I thought the bats looked surreal. Everything was quite cool, as it has been a while since I've been to the zoo. Haha, ^__^

It was quite nice seeing those penguins. They were so cute. Apparently they poop every 10-15 minutes! LOL

Well, I think animals are cool, and we're fortunate enough to get to see them and live in coexistence with them. I just hope that the generations to come don't abuse that privilage, because nature isn't our right, it belongs to no one in a sense and we should respect it. >__<

Along the way... there were some nice views too. LOL But I don't want to make this post overly pic heavy.

Oh yeah, lookout for possible videos soon, afterall, my laptop is loaded with the Sony Vegas Movie Studio so maybe I'll get around to working on it possibly. (;

In the meanwhile, here's a nice scenery picture. ^__^

I wish I had a super amazing camera... I could do so much more. But I'm satisfied with my current one, I think it performs quite well for a regular digital camera. LOL

Any how, as I'm typing there's been a storm raving on for quite a while. I'm not a fan of thunder or anything so.. xD Yeah.

I hope y'all continue to have a great day. I'll blog again some other time. Peace out

XO

P.S Thanks for everything up until now. :D

Lovely, loving, LOVE :D

Hey guys! Normally I'd be posting like crazy, but recently I've been busy and lazy. As expected of me right?

So this week consisted of a few things:

-New laptop (HOORAH)

-Trip to Calgary

-Doing nothing

-Doing something.

Interesting right? LOL I really don't have much of a life do I? I've had my ups and downs last month but woohoo. And here I am, finally back to blogging because it is my job to tell you guys all the things I've bought, how bored I am, and how I have no life. As for the things I've bought, I'll be writing to you in the next post. Every photo I've got is loaded onto my big fat, old pc that I can't seem to let go of. But with the few pictures I do have (which is basically me camwhoring) I shall entertain you with them. (: First though, I shall show you my sexy laptop.

YAY. My brand new Sony VAIO - E Series.

Actually, this laptop had been my dream laptop many years before, but eventually I came to let it go and just enjoy my (now dead) HP laptop. I love the colour, the pink is perfection. And lastly, I'm ever thankful I even got this machine. It works like a beauty. And everythings so much faster... or maybe it's because I've been using really slow computers. xD Haha, :3

This is totally unrelated but I don't know how to transition it to the topic so I rather cut to the chase! LOL Lately I've had lots of time at home because it is summer, and I've got nothing to do. Therefore, I do nails. Because that takes off a few hours off of the whole day. Nothing original though, just the typical leopard print.

As a favour to you guys, I covered the hideous parts. LOLOL Anyway, a bit of the black outlining got smudged while I was putting on the top coat maybe a bit too vigorously. Therefore... smudges! ): But how could I redo them when I spent a hour working oh-so diligently! (:

Does anyone know how to grow out nails? I mean I really don't have the patience for it so.. it doesn't work out for me 80% of the time, but the other 15% turns out to be nice when it does get grown out... except it gets ruined by the 80% chance. You understand?

Sometimes.. I think my logic is really messed up. OR it's probably only understood by me. 

And here's the time where I come to make a realization: I have little to none friends. Nothing has ever worked out, whether that is me being unsocial or me just having a difficult personality -- I don't know. But sometimes it really does take it's toll. I really want to do a heart to heart post sometime, because I really do have so much to say. ^^ As always look forward to it..

Meanwhile, I kiss my fellow readers goodnight:

xD Notice these photos are pretty fresh. Only a yesterday. Playing around on my webcam.. Haha.

Alright , night night.
