It's been a while hasn't it?

First off, happy holidays.

I probably have stuff to write about. But as always, I'm drawing a blankola.

It's so cold out! I just want to crawl back into bed and hibernate! Packing needs to be done.. but it's hard when I have no idea what I'll be wearing the next few days. I like to have options, yanno?

My days are filled with no definite plans, yet I am always busy. How can that be? Time needs to open up for me soon!

2010 will be an exciting/scary time for me. Living out of the nest. AH! But I'm very happy to be moving in with Sab. She has the cutest kitties ever! They're so sweet. I also have to jump.. head first, into getting gigs, even if its TFP.

Mmmmmm.. What else? Iono.

It's so cold, I just want to go back to sleep!!!!

We weren't even there all day and I am exhaaaausted.

Might update this later. I was just so excited that I completely forgot to take pictures until the end. I need a nap!

ZZZZ

I went shopping?

Yesterday I went to Oakville Place. Not a fan of that mall. It's very small and has a strange layout. BUT it does have a Style Sense!

I originally went because I needed to find a Baptism present for Daniel. I was completely clueless on what to get him. It felt wrong to buy one of those ceramic figurines that said BAPTISM on it. So I went with a book. I also picked up a book for myself... A book written by one of my classmates! How cool is that?

After walking around the entire mall (in less than a half hour) I wandered into Claire's and bought a sequined mask. Meh, I could wear it for Halloween! On my way out, I thought, "Why not just peek into Style Sense? It couldn't hurt!".

I walked up and down the aisles of shoes and only tried on one pair!!! They were agonizingly tight so I perused the purse and toiletries. As I was about to leave I saw.... COSMETICS, right by the check out. There was Urban Decay! Calvin Klein! Bliss! The Balm! And... China Glaze! I picked up one eyeshadow and a box set of SIX China Glaze nail polishes!


(Clockwise from the top)

Shirt from Joe Fresh, Bahama Blues nail polish set, sequined mask, Inner City Girl Like Me By Sabrina Bernardo (=D), and Urban Decay eyeshadow in Chains

I also got my bangs trimmed! Yay!



I'm going to go get adjusted now. My back is still "all kinds of messed up".

Prints!

GOT 'EM!!

I'm not happy with one, but I like the other three a lot. I guess it can't always be a perfect fit. Overall, I think it's a good start. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching the photos being taken... may have to learn a teeny bit about photography now!







Yay! =D

New Chapter

The Fashion and Photography Makeup Course finished on Friday. =(
I miss that class so much! I walked into school today and had to fight the urge to go into that room. I did knock on the window and wave to Barb though.... and went to say hi to her at lunch.

I was so excited to see our pictures today, but *wah wah waaaaaah* they weren't ready yet. I had my portfolio all ready and everything!

Hair is a bit of a challenge. Something as basic as a ponytail was pretty difficult. Working from a different angle.. and not on yourself is strange. I must have yanked out 100 hairs from this mannequins head. I called her many names and whacked her to secure her to the stand. Can you imagine how hot a room can get with 10 blow dryers going at the same time? I was boiling. Oh, and something must have gotten sucked up into my dryer since... a wonderful burning smell was coming from it and the motor started clicking.

But all in all, not a bad start. I'm doing okaaaay!

Mandy and I had lasagna for lunch. Lasagna = awesome.

This is all I can manage for now.

Question for you to think about and answer if you want to : Why do people make things more complicated than they really are?

I can't even hear myself think!

Right now, I am in Ethan's play room. He has a toy saxophone playing and he's banging a set of chimes off of it. His nanny is alternating between school girl giggles and yelling gibberish. I am ready to rip my hair out.

Remember those boots I wanted? I got them yesterday =). On Thursday I went to the mall to visit them, but found out that there were only two in my size left. So I put the order in and now they are MINE! I can't wait to wear them!!!!



Last week was my brother's wedding. We all went to Chicago and I learned that I HATE flying. I left like crap the entire weekend. But the wedding was nice and the food was awesome!

Monday will be the last week of Fashion Makeup for me. =(
It went by way too quickly! I felt like there is so much more to learn! I'm not ready to move on!!! Our photo shoots are Monday and Tuesday. I am quite stressed about it. This entire week I was conflicted. I love to do dark and dramatic looks, but I also want to be able to use my images in my portfolio. I needed to incorporate more pretty looks into my work. I now have my looks in order, I guess I just have to do some practicing....

Here are my charted looks

For black and white

LOL of the day

I was at Chapters scoping out every single fashion magazine to find some "monochromatic" makeup pics.. and couldn't find any. =(

As I was SQUATTING by the magazine display a Starbucks worker offers me a sample. I look up and say no thanks. She goes,

"Wow! I love your makeup! Are you a model????"

I laugh. Bahahahaha... That made my day.

Then I went to Sherway Gardens to hit up the bank. I had no intention of looking at shoes and somehow ended up at Browns. Why oh why did I go in??? There is a pair of Miss Sixty's thigh high boots that I.. WANT. NEED.

*Sigh.

Oh, and I got my hair cut yesterday. Six inches and bangs!


(EDIT ... My hair colour is gross.. time to dye!)

Ahhh.. and applying my own makeup! I'm wearing my brand new grease paint stick, and youngpunk mineralize eyeshadow over it. I LOVE glitter.

My birthday is next Sunday! .... Gift certificates to Browns Shoes would be awesome... I'm just sayin' =p

Update!!

This is going to come out like rapid fire because I am dead tired from school.

I am living in Mississauga. I am going to makeup school (it's AWESOME). I am quite content.

Waking up between 6 and 7 each morning is .. dare I say it... not that bad. Mostly because school is amazing. Each day is challenging and fun. I wish I could go for the rest of my life lol. I love working on different faces and getting the chance to learn all these new cool things!

But what I really wanted to touch on today was how grateful I am for my friends. As I was driving home today (hour and forty minutes instead of the usual hour) I was thinking how lucky I am to have such great friends. They are there for me from.. random outings, late night/early morning calls and texts, believing in me, loving me even though I am the queen of sarcasm and much, much more.

I wish I could articulate this better.. but my brain is so fried lol.

So, I just want to say thank you to my wonderful friends. Thank you for your patience, advice and overwhelming support. Without you guys I would be even more cynical and ranty (if that's at all possible! lol) Love you!

MAN GLAZE!!

My Man Glaze order came in today!

After I was bitching to my parents this morning that my dad painted over our address. Yeah, he did that. I have had this conversation with them before. How will the postal people where to deliver things if we have no address? My dad says that they would just know. ... Yeah. Last year AJYJ (HAHA..) sent me something and it was sent back to him because my address DNE. I didn't want my polish to get sent back!

I was worried since they said it would take about 4 days to get here, and I ordered it over a week ago. But then a few hours after my whining.. my package came!

I didn't even bother taking off my old nail polish, I just painted right over it. It goes on a sparkly black (which is cool) but in less than a minute, it turns into a flat matte colour. It dries very quickly. SO COOL!!



I still haven't mastered my camera, which is broken and held together with tape. Time for a new one!

Man Glaze - The Original Matte Finish Nail Colour. <--- Check out the site =)

Update!

Perhaps I should have wrote this earlier. I kept putting it off, because that's my style. I was all over the place emotionally about how I felt about it. First I was excited, then stressed, then regretful, now... sort of stressed and excited at once.

So I'm going back to school, just not University. On September 14th I will be starting a 14 week course at Complexions in Toronto. =) The course is called the Essential Makeup Artist. I will be learning fashion makeup, character makeup, a bit of hair, and a bit of prothetics. I'm really excited to start!
Which means, I am moving to Toronto! I'll be living with my sister, and when I can, crash at Ev's (thanks lady).

Big news huh?

I guess that's all I really want to say about that for now.

----

I went to the states yesterday!

.. Went shopping..

I didn't go crazy! Just a few dresses and stuff.. Forever 21 in the US is so much better than the Canadian one. I find things I actually like! And they're in my size!


CUUUUTE headband that I wanted in every colour, but settled for a grey


My favourite band of all time, weird to see it at F21...


Gorgeous silk sheath with bows in the back! It really needs to be ironed!


Strapless dress with padding in the boob area so you don't have to wear a bra!


Dress I'll be wearing to my brother's wedding!

Awesome finds!

Long One.

I know why I do these. It gets my mind off what is pissing me off. All day today I was ranting and raving in my head about some issues bothering me. ALL DAY. So much so that I forgot to drink anything. Yeah. Losing my mind. I just figured out why I feel so weird and have such a raging headache. I'm beyond dehydrated. I just had a conversation with my mother that aggravated me even more. So this survey thing helped.

My tattoo is itchy.

One Word.

Noticing a pattern? When I feel crappy (physically/emotionally) and I want to post, I just do these.. survey things. I had a good day yesterday (got an awesome tattoo) that turned into a bad day (dad issues). Now I just feel like shit. I think my mom is to blame t0o, because she sort of provoked it all (probably not intentionally but she should have known that my dad would not have supported the idea). I don't mean to be vague. I just don't know if I want to get into it all yet.

I do start school on September 14th. That I do know.

Here's my new tattoo

30 Day Shred (Day 10)

This morning I finished day 10 of the shred! So what if I'm a few days behind? I'm on a sort of vacay and I'm not at home!

So what are the results?

I'm still huffing and puffing and struggling, especially with the first circuit (push ups + squat and press and jumping jacks + jump rope). But after I get started, I'm fine. The workout itself is still very challenging so I'm not sure if I should stick with level one, or move on to level two.

I am seeing some changes in my body. My tummy is definitely flatter (I've been telling people that instead of looking 5 months pregnant, I look 6 weeks pregnant! LOL) and there is a bump in my arm!! Eva saw it! She's a witness!

I will probably take tomorrow off because my left ankle is hurting and I'm limping around. I need to get an adjustment or something. When I rotate my ankle, it cracks and feels crunchy, not good.

Still haven't decided if I will go another 10 days with level one or move to level two, either way, update will come at day 20!

My arm. I walked into the metal.. thing that is on the door frame that the lock.. locks into. Yeah. Its flat, it sticks out and is sharp. My arm scraaaaaaaped across that as I tried to get through the doorway which was open a crack (I was too lazy to open the door all the way. Haha.) Serves me right I guess? I pulled a Peter Griffin.
SSSSSSSTTTTT. AHHHHHHHHHH.

Automated Voicemail

Can anyone be a morning person? I HATE 6 or 7am start times. HATE THEM. I can never fall asleep til about 1 or 2 or even 3am and I am left with 2-4 hours of sleep.

I hate mornings!

I got off work at about 12:30, and I check my phone, 4 missed calls and 3 voicemails. Seems that someone has been trying to get a hold of me. I check the numbers, its a 1-888 number. I check the voicemails and its an automated message from "Contact services regarding my outstanding Rogers account". I've heard from them before but thought it must have been a mistake because my bill is always paid on time (thanks mom). This was the first time that they called three times in a row, before that it was a random call maybe once every two weeks, and it would stop for about a month.

When I got home I called the number back and asked the ..phone.. person what it was regarding. Here's the conversation:

Me - I just received three automated messages. Something about my "OUTSTANDING Rogers account?"
Lady - Reference number?
M - I don't have one. It was an automated message saying I need to contact you immediately.
L - I need your primary phone number and full name.
M - *gives it
L - This is your number?
M - Yup.
L - What's your name again?
M - ... Rose.
L - Who is Marco _______?
M - No idea.
L - Well he put this as his primary number.
M - That's not me.
L - You sure you don't know him?
M - Um. Yeah.
L - How long have you had this number?
M - Over a year and a half. What kind of company is this? Collections?
L - Why did he put your number?
M - How should I know? If I had an outstanding Rogers account, you wouldn't be able to call me on it.
L - And you don't know him?
M - I don't want to receive any more calls.

*Click*

Annoying. She was giving me attitude the entire time. It made no sense, if I owed Rogers a whole bunch of money, they would cut my phone off! This is not the first time I have gotten calls for this Marco.

I'm changing my number soon.

I called Rogers today and after checking out some phones.. will probably renew my contract with a pretty good plan. You have to say you're going to leave them before they give you the goods. Ain't that always the way?


I like this one, but knowing my luck it probably won't be in the store for me to test. It's also kind of pricey... *Sigh, I keep finding more and more things I need before September.

Another One..

1. Can you fill this out without lying?
Absolutely

2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
Pills

3. Who was your last text message from?
Nel

4. Where was your default picture taken?
At 29

5. Last person you rode in a car with under the age of 20?
Probably my cousin

6. Name someone that made you laugh today?
A person that posted a video of their cat peeing in the toilet, HILARIOUS

7. How late did you stay up last night and why?
I'm not sure, i was reading and rolling around trying to sleep

30 Day Shred

In my effort to get in shape and to stop being a lazy ass, I bought the Skinny Bitch Fitness DVD last month.



Prior to that, I had never, ever worked out. It was a place to start! So 6 weeks into it, I'm still breaking a sweat but not feeling sore like I did in the beginning. I'm also not seeing much of a difference in my body so.... I looked into Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.



Today is day one! I'd have to say it's pretty challenging for someone like me, a total beginner! My legs were burning, my arms were burning, I was huffing and puffing and I wanted to quit! But, I stuck with it!

I plan on following the workout for the whole 30 days (minus the days that I work a full shift counting crap and just come home and pass out) and will update at the 10 day, 20 day and finally, the 30 day mark!

I just watched the Level 2 and.. it's intimidating lol.

Wish me luck! =)

I Hate Going to Electronic Stores...

Why? Because I always leave with NONE of my questions answered, and empty handed.

I went to Future Shop in the afternoon because I wanted to check out this digital camera that my brother in law recommended. I also wanted to pick up the Season 1 and 2 bundle of 30 Rock.

So I'm in the "Photo" Department, picking up cameras. There was a mother and daughter there as well, and to be honest, they were there before me (albeit 2.5 seconds before.) A worker comes over and chats them up and I actually get.. squished down further along the aisle because of what he's showing them. Fine, I'll check out the other cameras... I picked up every other camera and took pics of the signage, messed with the settings, and came back to the camera I wanted to see. Another worker FINALLY comes over and asks me if I need help. YES I DO. I asked him if he could tell me the difference about these two Canon cameras and the functions. Too bad it's not his department. So I am again waiting...

So after about... 15 minutes of me standing there, clearly in need of some assistance, another worker comes over. I think *SCORE* because this IS his department.

"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I was just checking out these two cameras and wanted to know which one would be better and why."
"I'd say.. this one." *points*
"What's better about it? And I wanted to test out the shot to shot times because I don't want a camera that will lag."
"What?"
" ... Like what is the wait time between actual pictures."
"Oh.. here you can see.. " *picks up camera and takes a picture.. then... clicks and takes another picture*
"Yeah..... but that's not really accurate because there's no memory card and nothing is saved. I want to know the average shot to shot time, with flash because I don't want to have to wait a long time between pictures."
"Oh.. Um I don't really know what that means. I want to be honest and say that I don't really know what the wait is."
I huff.. then just say thanks and walk off.

SHOT TO SHOT TIME? .....
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO TAKE NEXT PICTURE? .....

Am I speaking some crazy language that these supposed tech guys don't understand? And picking up the camera and snapping a picture that doesn't save therefore you have to click *cancel* before taking the next picture is not an accurate prediction of the wait time I will have.

Whatever...

Then I walk over to the DVD section and they don't have what I want, when the website fully said that it was in stock at this store. FRUSTRATION!!! I just stormed out of there.

In other news, I'm just in a crabby/depressed mood altogether.

Happy Friday.

Previously enjoyed...

I want to post more often, but I just have nothing I feel that is worth talking about? Or I'm still feeling kind of down, because I do have updates! Meh. So I have been going to second hand stores lately and finding.. some interesting stuff! I mostly buy books, because they are usually in good condition so why buy the new one when you can get it for $3.99? I was at Value Village today and picked up some more books. So maybe I can review them when I'm finished... It's a thought.

Here is what I picked up so far (over the past two months or so)



Clockwise from bottom (because it's dead center.. unlike the top lol):
Jodi Piccoult - The Pact
Gwyn Hyman Rubio - Icy Sparks
Alice Sebold - The Lovely Bones
Judy Blume - Deenie
David Guterson - Snow Falling on Cedars
Ian McEwan - Atonement
Amy Tan - Joy Luck Club

Middle:
The Bondmaid - Catherine Lim

Upcoming topics....
Some makeup looks (been really meaning to do some!)
My makeup collection
An update on myself

Yeaaap.. until then!

Life Is Unfair.

Last night I made the decision to put Lily down. She's been with us since November. Lily was the sweetest, most loving cat you could come across. When she would lay on me she would reach her arms out to touch my face as she slept. She could always come and sit with you when you called out to her. She loved unconditionally.

Lily was battling pneumonia for about about two and a half weeks. The vet said that there wasn't much that they could do for her. They removed fluid from her lungs to help her breathe, put her on meds and she did get better. She was home for a few days but then suddenly stopped eating again. So I brought her back in to be looked at. Her lungs had filled again and she had been diagnosed with Feline AIDS. The vet said that she must have had it since birth because she wasn't exposed to other cats.

It broke my heart to see her in so much pain. But I feel badly, like what could I have done differently? I said sorry to her over and over. I stayed with her and held her even afterwards. Never have I felt so much pain or sadness. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I love and miss her so very much.

Lady Gaga

On Friday night we went to see Lady Gaga in Toronto at Kool Haus!

My friends and I arrived at 7:30pm to find that the line wrapped around the 3 corners of a big city block! Once we got in, we were expecting to see some crappy bands before Gaga went on... nope. A DJ came on for a bit. Then his laptop.. or something stopped working properly.. so we listened to a friggin' cd over, and over. This screen came up with a picture of her and I got extremely excited... but we stared at that screen for hours!!!!!! People started booing and screaming... But finally she came out.. and all was forgiven lol. I'm not sure if it was worth the wait. I would have liked something else to look at! That being said, the concert was absolutely amazing. I would definitely go see her again! =)



























I have some videos too, but the audio quality is horrendous. I may upload them later on though.

Now I'm off to Toronto, again!
