Mid Life Crisis @ 26

I'm slightly sleep deprived... Did not sleep well last night... Maybe a total of 2 hours... at most?

Terrible dream that I don't really want to remember. Ugh...

I saw my face this morning and couldn't believe how horrible I looked. When you don't rest well it really shows on your face. It seems that all the rest this weekend couldn't help compensate for last night...

When you are tired strange thoughts come to mind. I keep thinking about if onlys again... and it's just extra depressing when you see where you are and where you could have been if only you did something different. Maybe I wouldn't have stayed here and work a crappy reception job for 2 years... and I mean I got promoted, but I still sit at this desk everyday, and now that we have no more receptionist I am back here...

I will be turning 27 this year and it does not feel like my life is going anywhere...

feeling blue~

Going through the motion of life but not really living it...

Can't get this empty feeling to go away and drowning it with material stuff doesn't really work...

28th month together~!

For our monthly celebration we had Italian food at this place I can't recall the name... but the food was very good... especially the appetizers!!

Here's some pictures~

Chicken soup for me

I've been craving chicken noodle soup since I've been sick this weekend so I was happy to see that Lipton Cup-a-Soup was on sale at the Shopper's near me for $0.99 a box. I decided to buy one box and try it out and I really like it. So far this morning I've had 2 packs... which also means I've consumed 56% of my sodium intake for the day... haha.. you win some, you lose some~ it was exactly what I needed.

I'm sooo happi :D

One of my bestest friend just got engaged. I'm ESTATIC!!!!!

Wedding date pending, but will be in 2013!!!

We were randomly browsing through some cute wedding dress style for inspiration, but she's got 2 years, so plenty of time to find the perfect dress (as well as the rest of the wedding planning!!!)

Can hardly wait!!!

Bake for Japan

It was raining early afternoon, thank goodness it warmed up later on!

This past weekend I was invited to take part in the Bake for Japan event that was held at the Amaranto Cafe on 809 St. Clair in Toronto. Several other locations across GTA was also part of the event. Together, generous Torontonians donated over $20,000 this weekend. All proceeds went directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

I was surprised at the amount of goodies (such as cupcakes, cookies, full sized cakes, t-shirts, buttons and many more) that were donated by bakeries (ie, the Guy who Bakes and the owners of Amaranto Cafe) and other volunteers. Another surprise was the amount of people who came out to make a donation on such a rainy day. I was truly amazed to see the power of kindness at work. It had been a great way to end the week =)

Ooh... very random, but we grabbed pizza at the 241 Pizza place just around the corner and it was sooooo yummy! The owners there were also very nice. This seemed to be a very nice neighborhood, filled with kind and giving people =)

 



Water

As we all know, water is essential to sustain life, which is why we should fuel our body with sufficient water daily. I got these cute cups while I was in the states this weekend and made sure my body is water daily. Are you having enough water?

To find out how much water you 'should' have daily you can use the calculator found on this link: http://liftforlife.com/content/bodybuilding-fitness-diet-health-articles/diet-articles/341-drinkwater

I just wanted to share this because I found it on Google :) Enjoy!

My night :)

By making time for myself yesterday I realized I could accomplish a lot of things I keep puttting off....

I managed to take a nap, play some angry bird, clean out some more garbage from my drawers, watch two movies (My Left Eye Sees Ghost '我左眼見到鬼' and How to lose a guy in 10 days) such awesome movies I keep re-watching :) , remove my leftover nail polish from my hand and my toe nails, repaint my toes, almost finish making stars for my brush holder and finally I had a snack with my grandparents around 11 last night ^_^

Feeling accomplished... haha...

Voilà! my eyeshadow brush holder :)

Making the straw stars really hurt my fingers, but it is all worth it cuz it look soooooo pretty ^_^

Another weekend of shopping!

Grove City Premium Outlet + Millcreek Mall = lots of shopping!

The past weekend I went shopping with our usual group + two newbies and shopped to our hearts content for two days. I didn't buy much (other than makeup) but I did pick up a cute pair of earrings and a unique ring from Wendell August...

These are made from aluminium, hence are light and non-allergenic :) I really love them and are in fact wearing both today!

Boys will be boys. Even though it was a shopping trip they found time to goof around :)

@ Wal-Mart playing with kids toy again!!

There was a pet store at the mall with some very CUTE pets... I had to take a pictures of these cuties, I wish I could bring them home!!!!

Note on the makeup shopping. It is definately better to shop for makeup with another girl :) You get more input and encouragement... of course that also means its more painful for your wallet XD
