Life Motto: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Canada is in October and I know in America it is in November (countdown cause my baby sister Angella is coming to Toronto!!!) but regardless it is a day of self reflection and giving thanks. I just wanted to give you guys a few quotes to inspire a different perspective during thanksgiving. Yes stuff your face but also give thanks to those who matter in your life.

10 BOOtiful Family Costumes

The countdown has officially begun; it is a week before halloween. As a college student, this is the moment where you can essentially wear lingerie and prance around without being judged (that hard).

While partying and "turning up" can be pretty fun, it's also nice to reminisce back on when halloween was about getting free candy from strangers. Rather than wearing those miniskirts, let's go back to a time when halloween was about family... and family costumes...

Last thanks to give

Just a little update on my last day in Thanksgiving.

It was fun man. I am not ready for real life.

life without you - august 18

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

First. my family.
but mainly, my mom. 

shes my rock.

aren't we a weird family?

we do so much family things. we also somehow always match color wise. 

gross. haha

8th of August - day six!

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

sometimes the world works in such a magically way that everything just works. Today is a hit two birds with one stone kinda day. the person i would love to trade places for a day is my dad. I just always loved freaky friday and I would get to know him a lot more if I was so to say 'in his shoes'. Me and my daddy have always been super close but we definitely don't see eye to eye. I just want to get to know his thought process and that way we can avoid unnecessary fights.

Secondly, its fathers day. In china, at least. I am heart broken that I don't get to be home and celebrating with my pop but he knows I love him. He does. so this is my homage to him. I wouldn't be anything without you (:

Back To School (Stationary Haul)

Hey darlings!
Just to let you guys know, I am absolutely, 100% so sorry for being inactive for a few days. For those of you who don't know, I live in Shanghai and Amy lives in Toronto. This summer, I decided to visit her in Toronto and while it has been wonderful, I had to come back home before school started. So basically for the past few days, I have been either on the plane (13 hour flights, boo) or super jetlagged and just wasn't really in the mood to post. Anyways, I'm slowly shifting back to my normal schedule and I'm ready to post my heart out!

It's now in August, and that means one thing, it's time for school again. Whether you read that and sighed or smiled, it doesn't matter because we all have to prepare for the soul-wrenching, eight-hours of misery. On the plus side, as you all know, this will be my senior year. While many covet being a senior, it also comes with certain responsibilities such as being awesome and respected by freshmen. So, I decided that unlike other years, I was gonna prepare myself. How you ask? Well, obviously by buying my school supplies early so that nobody will have the same ones as me and I can find the absolute cutest ones (especially japanese mechanical pencils, I am an asian girl after all).

So while I do want chic stationary, I didn't wanna spend a buttload of money on it. Thus, the 3 Subject Notebooks, the Binders, the plain folders, and the ducky pins are from the Dollarama. Altogether they were less than $20 and a definite steal. The kitty folder is from Walmart and the Bic pens is from Shoppers. As for the mechanical pens/pencils and floral masking tape, they're from Japan (courtesy of mommy dearest). Last but not least, the 'for really big mistakes' eraser (my proudest/most expensive buy) is from Chapters. While the original price was $4.99 there was a 10% discount (score!) Also, it's about the size of my hand, so I doubt I'll ever run out of erasers anytime soon.

Overall, I think I spent less than $40 and I definitely had a blast finding all of my stuff. I think this haul was pretty successful and I can't wait for school to start so I can use all my new pens. One thing I do regret was not buying an agenda. While the school does offer free ones, the ones from Chapters were so much cuter (and expensive). But anyways, I'm happy with my haul. What do you think? Are you excited for school? Please leave any comments down below.

Day two: August 4, 2013

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

Well this is kinda hard. Obviously the person I am closest to is my sister who Ive known for 17 years but after her, its got to be my high school friends. its been around 7/8 years since I've known them.

part 1 (if i were to cheat haha):

part 2 (who doesn't love friends?):

(side note: wow I use to be quite a hideous and unfashionable child in high school)

Who are you guys closest to? Apart from family. And isn't friendship kind of a magical thing? Seven years and I still love them (:
