Update: Personal Issues

This is just about my personal health and I just thought it'll be a good idea just to randomly write about this on blog. You don't have to read this obviously.

Basically, when I started having anxiety issues in the middle of last year, my appetite has been getting smaller and smaller, and naturally, I'm getting thinner, which isn't something I want. I mean, for most girls, it is, but I was at a stage where I didn't really have a negative thought on my body.

So recently, just realised that I was getting way too thin, though I didn't really pay attention to it before, so now I'm planning to eat a whole lot more.

I only started to take note of the change, when my family friends, and parents started commenting on how thin I was getting, which made me self-conscious, and when I go clothes shopping and try on clothes, I realise exactly how thin I was getting. So I don't want to become really thin, and I've decided to try and gain some weight. Strange to say that, since I don't know how heavy I am, but I guess this is getting somewhere.

Just had an urge to make a milkshake, haha! I will soon probably. After I figure out how to make one.

So yeah, short rant about my body.

Favourites: January 2012

Nearly forgot about these, please forgive me. D:

SONGS: 


Somehow, Julia ( www.littemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) has influenced me to listen to Drake. ;P

'Take Care' Drake ft. Rihanna

And this 'Take Care' Medley by Joseph SoMo, which is so so good! I think he actually sounds like Drake himself. ;P

BOOKS: 


I haven't read any books ! :O That's terrible, but I'm starting to read some books again. (:

MOVIE/VIDEO: 


Been really into the Pretty Little Liars series.

Such sexy chicks. ;)

FASHION:

Really into bright tops at the moment, but don't personally own any. Which sucks. Otherwise, I'm really into chunky sweat knits. (: 

BEAUTY: 

My Ecotools brushes. (:

Update: School Has Started

I haven't been updating in a really long while, and I guess my reason is that I haven't been online lately, due to personal issues, mainly related to panic/anxiety attacks. But I'm better now, and have half recovered from it. 

This is just going to be a short update and rant about school and holidays. 

School has started and it's nearly the end of the week, thank God. It's been such a tough week for me, since adjusting to school from being inactive for about a month and a half is sort of a shock for me. Guess I'm sorta sad that school has started again, I keep thinking about where did all that time go. 

But for the first few days, it's been quite a good start, seeing all my amazing classmates was rewarding. Haven't had much homework; only maths, but I'm simply anticipating all that s**tload of work that's going to come at me during the first term. 

I've started flute lessons again, and also Matrix coaching which is tomorrow, and will be starting tennis coaching as well; which I'm excited about because I've been motivated for tennis since watching Djokovic  the Australian Open. I have to admit, I used to have a crush on that player. Haha! 

Been trying to cut down my internet time since it was one of my resolutions, and also been managing my time, by doing all my workload when I get home and then internet at night. Guess, that's going to ruin my sleeping patterns, but that's the only way I won't get distracted. 

I'm going to update online now, and watch Pretty Little Liars since I haven't watched the episode yet, and going to relax. 

That's it for now, I'll do a favourites post soon, ( thanks to Julia [ www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ] for reminding me ) for January 2012. 

Thanks for reading,

Update: School Starts Tomorrow!

Here in Australia, school holidays are coming to an end, and school is starting tomorrow. For many other schools, it started today, but for my year, I'm starting tomorrow. I just realised, I'll be starting my first senior year tomorrow ( Year 10 ). 

Had to pack for school today, and I'm kind of nervous for school. And I'm dreading it. 

Such a short rant, but that's basically all I have to say. ;P 

Thanks for reading,

Update: Expensive Shopping Haul

Went shopping today and got quite a lot of expensive items. :O I think this is really bad, but anyways, just wanted to share.

I decided to get the Lonsdale bag after much though, but the store that sold it for $30, had crappy colours, so I just ended up getting the Original one ( black and white ) :

Used my red pocket money for that thing ^.

Also went to Priceline because Julia said they were having a sale but ended up getting something I wasn't planning to get. A brush. But my old one was coming apart, so guessed this was worth it. Was $18.99, but reduced to $15.19.

And I went to Coles and got this thing I've been seeing on Youtube recently and it intrigued me ( was $9.99 ) :

And lastly, went to Athlete's Foot to grab some new sports shoes. I now go there to buy my shoes even though it's expensive, since I have to wear orthotics and they have shoes that support them. So I asked the lady for lighter shoes ( ie. running shoes ) and more support on the outside since I kept rolling my ankle. The shoes were $159.99. Oh god. Didn't take a picture though, because I couldn't be bothered. I mean, they're just expensive shoes ...

I shall now go on a no spending challenge, and wish me luck!

Update: Australia Day

Today, went out with Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and Jennifer and had an amazing day with them at Chatswood Westfield!

It's Australia Day today, so happy Australia Day to all my readers, and since I didn't have any Australian stuff but want to celebrate it somehow, I bought a pair of shades for $2 in a 2 Dollar store :

Received some compliments from wearing these, but they are hard to see wearing them! <3

Went to Diva and the sale of 6 pieces of jewellery for $10 was still on, and so we split it up and we each bought 2 pieces and I got a bracelet and a Playboy necklace :

Went to Equip and took a picture with Jennifer who you can finally see on blog. Don't mind our glasses, mine looks like Harry Potter, HA!

Oh, there was a store named Mish Mash which happens to be both of my nicknames so I had to take a photo with it.

Oh, and took a photo with Beats by Dr. Dre at JB Hi-Fi, it's so rad !

Had sushi for lunch and I think the lighting was off, because my food looks yellow. I promise you that's not what it was in real life, HAHA!

There was this really cute crepe store, that looks really similar to a store in Hong Kong. This one's called Mother's Crepes, and the guy making them was so pro ! He makes them in a perfect circle!

Taken by Julia <3

Julia and I both got Chatimes, which I didn't take a picture of, and there was this really hilarious and embarrassing ( well on my behalf ) incident. Basically when Julia was taking pictures of the crepes above, she told me to hold her Chatime and I forgot which was which and I instinctively just drunk one of them, but then realised it was Julia's and freaked out. Apparently I made this hilarious face, haha. Oh gosh.

I received from Julia a beauty exchange box today and souvenirs! Thanks so much for all the stuff, you know me too well! She also wrote this cute postcard, and when my mum saw her handwriting, she asked me where Julia got a typewriter, HAHA! Until I told her it was Julia's writing.

That was my day, hoped everyone had a great day, and happy Australia Day.

Surviving School: Use a Freakin' Diary!

'All successful people own a diary.' - Anonymous

That, I think, is really true. 

If you ever need to have one thing to survive school, it's a diary. Whether it's a personal journal, timetable diary or schedule diary, it's really really useful for keeping things together. Trust me, I love my diary, I'm starting to think I can't live without one. 

A diary would : 

- Remind you the due dates for assignments/projects/essays, etc. 

- Test dates 

- Birthdays, just incase you forgot your mum's birthday 'cause you were too busy ( if that did happen, gosh that's sad ! ) 

- Placing random sheets that don't belong in a particular subject/place. I do this all the time, I just chuck random sheets of paper in my diary just because I'm : 1) Too lazy to paste it in my subject book, or 2) I have no idea where to file this crap. 

- Study timetables 

- and much more uses. 

My diary is my true love. Amen. 

Good luck!

Update: Sleeping Late.

I haven't updated in a while, and that's because I haven't done anything interesting lately. But I figured I better post something before my readers think I'm dead. Haha!

Last night, I think I drank too much green tea on the day, but I couldn't sleep for 3 hours. I went to bed at 10P.M and around 1A.M, I got up and just decided to read my book 'War Horse'. I finished the book in 30 minutes and decided to write a diary entry. Honestly, I was so awake, I started to think I'm more of a night person ! Haha! My brain was functioning really well.

Anyways, I woke up today at 9A.M feeling really really tired, but I got up anyways, so to make sure that I will be really tired tonight so I can sleep earlier. I have to wake up early tomorrow, since I'm going with Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and Jennifer to the mall.

Been a really unproductive week for me; Youtubing, Facebooking, gosh, I think I'm living on internet supplies. Haha! I really should start getting ready for school, which is next week. I can't believe the 6 week holiday went past so quickly!

Anyways, I hope everyone is well.

Thanks for reading this utterly pointless post,

Update: Happy Chinese New Year!

I want to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year, and if you don't know already, I'm Chinese so this is a big deal. (:

I hope people got some red pockets, which is basically a tradition for adults to give children 'money' or treats in a red pocket, to wish them a happy new year. The day that every Chinese child waits for, HAHA, I'm kidding.

Yesterday night, went to my grandaunt's place for dinner, where they made really good dumplings. Now I regret not taking photos.

Recently, I'm really into this song by Chris Brown 'With You' :

It's old, but I lost interest in Chris Brown after he 'bashed' Rihanna. </3

I'm going out with Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and Jennifer this Thursday. Really excited for that.

Really got nothing to say.

Enjoy,
Michelle <3

Update: Oh no, lemme guess ; Shopping Again?

Yeah, the title says it all. I went shopping with my mum and sister today, at Westfield.

But here is a picture I took yesterday of my cat in a really hilarious position while sleeping :

Close up :

HAHA ! His leg ! ;D

I passed the pet store and there was this gorgeous adorable ginger kitty and I took a picture with it, taken by my sister :

Isn't it adorable? :3

Anyways, bought 3 spiral notebooks from Typo. They were on a sale of 3 for $10.

And bought a pair of denim shorts on sale at Glassons for $25 :

There was a sale at the jewellery store, Diva where you could get 6 pieces for $10, so my sister and I decided to both get 3 each pay for it together. I got these three :

When I got home, I ate a Golden Gaytime, which sounds really weird but it's this really good iceblock with biscuit crumbs stuck to chocolate covering of icecream.

Took the picture outside for better lighting. 

That was my day. Oh had, lunch at a foodcourt but didn't take pictures because I had a kebab and it looked...dodgy. If you know what I mean.

Well good day.
