Graduation and formal

Formal was the best night ever! After extensive visits to Liverpool and Parramatta Westfields, pretty much having the staff at Sportsgirl and Diva pretty much recognising the stressful expression on my face, troubling two of my aunties (including one who lives in Los Angeles) with issues about my formal dress, hours of pondering about which dress to get, borrowing Lisa Lai's phone at camp so I could tell Genvin to order off Victoria's Secret for me, raging and swearing for hours because the costs of shipping were so high, watching my friends get more stressed and worried than I was that my formal dress wouldn't come in time, spending over $400 in the span of around 3 weeks, spontaneous visits to Westfields in hope that I would find something in the 15 minutes I was there, refunding items the same day I bought them and wishing that I hadn't wasted so much time, it has all paid off.

Wearing: Victoria's Secret sequin bustier dress, Mimi Loves Jimi boot wedges (available at General Pants Co.), Portmans quilted chain bag, Sportsgirl cross double finger ring, Forever New and Diva assortment of bracelets, Colette cuff, makeup and hair by Danica

Super big thank you to: Danica for helping me with my hair and makeup which saved me money that would've paid for my hair appointment and for letting me borrow your Facebook account to stalk people for photos, my aunt in America for express-shipping the dress I bought online over to Australia, my other aunt for tailoring my formal dress in the evening before formal despite the boning and tuelle skirt of my dress, my parents for all the trouble I caused picking me up and coming to my graduation, Grace for such a cute Kris Kringle present, and Nick for shouting us Hungry Jacks, picking me up from Danica's, driving me to Liverpool Westfields even though I was only there for 4 minutes, driving me home, then back to school, then dropping all the stuff I left in your car back at my house. I'm so sorry for all the trouble I caused so many people, just so I could enjoy this one night. I love you all, especially the class of 2012 for such an amazing night. ♥

Just like yesterday

Did I give my legs a tan with photoshop (in above)? Sadly, yes, which is weird, since I've been wearing sunscreen the past couple of days in attempt to pale up my legs -- my legs are so dark compared to my face. :(

Lighting of this photo looks so yellow and summery compared to the other ones. :o

This and the one above are blurry. :( This is bad use of self timer and super bright and happy lighting, lol.

My face looks bad here but this is the best photo out of all the other ones I took where you can see my face; all the other ones were really dark because the light from my window couldn't reach it, and I wasn't bothered to edit it ..

I really like this photo. :D So clear, yay!

And I like this photo too.

Wow I look really skinny here. :o

Fuck yeah, who has a Snoopy bedspread thing? >:D HAHA. I took these photos on Sunday; this is what I wore the day before, at RICE Fever! :D It was such a good day, and I was looking at this outfit and realised that I didn't pay much for it in total! Cuz I borrow clothes off both my brother and sister, and I borrowed that blazer off Danica/Danica's mum. :p I tried getting photos of the lace back of the blazer but they didn't turn out nice! And for one, these photos weren't taken in my sister's room. :p This is like probably the most I've ever shown of my room in photos that aren't about complaining how messy my room is. :p This set of photos is getting so many views on my Flickr, compared to everything else I have, lol. :o

Ever since I tried on all these different nail colours from Sportsgirl, Portmans, etc, I haven't had only one colour on my nails! I really wanna get more colours, but I like what I have right now. I was going to go for all white (it's not really white, it's a really, really pale pink) but then decided to kinda make it a gradient. Only my darkest pink doesn't fit, LOL, but I really like it atm. Gotta redo them later so I can be cool and have nice nails tomorrow. :p

Wearing

Black blazer with lace back, borrowed off Danica who borrowed off her mum

Pocket singlet by Line at General Pants Co, borrowed off Genvin

Bird with cage necklace from Sportsgirl, borrowed off Steph

Chain bag strap worn as a necklace, sale at Sportsgirl

Black chain bag from Portmans ($29.95)

Black leather belt, was my mum's

DIY Wrangler cut offs, jeans bought from Vinnies ($10)

And this is me with my angel grey lenses on! I wore them at RICE so yeah, decided to finally take a photo of what I look like with them on! My hair makes me look like a crazy bitch, though, but that's what happens when I don't do anything to it and when the weather's nice. :o My eyes are so brown, though -- they're really light in the centre. And someone commented on the first photo (heo yeah, first comment on Flickr) and it just said, cute which was a bit .. Okay cool thanks man, yeah. :I LOL.

DIY Cut-offs 8.49

Yay! I went to Vinnies and Livo Westfields after school today with Grace. We were meant to be getting presents and going shopping, but we didn't really get much. Grace got this black blazer though, it's pretty nice! :p Christie's and RICE on Saturday, how exciting.

Anyway, so we went into Vinnies cuz I really wanted cut-offs, lol, and we saw this guy who was apparently Mr Jones' brother? LOL. His name was like Russ or something, but when I told Stephen and Genvin (cuz Stephen was over) that we saw Mr Jones' brother, then they're like, What, how can you believe that. :C So I don't know anymore. Anyway, I was looking through the jeans there and I saw these 3 pairs and I tried them on, but they were a bit big! :( I'm so sad that I didn't get them though, seriously. There was a sale, 4 items of clothing for $12, or something like that, or maybe it was just for women's jeans .. But I only ended up getting one pair cuz I wasn't sure if my cut-offs idea was going to work or not and I convinced myself that I should save money and not get more jeans AND NOW I REGRET NOT BUYING THEM SO MUCH. Cuz the pair I bought was for $6 anyway .. And I could've gotten more! But I kinda felt bad cuz I was a bit worried Grace was going to get bored, so yeah. Also, I had to get home. I ended up making it just in time for my bus, which was good .. But I fucking regret not getting more jeans.

Anyway, I got home and I googled how to make cut-offs but didn't find anything helpful, so I just did what I'd seen Genvin do when he cut up his jeans to make shorts and yeah, they turned out alright. :D Cuz yeah I was worried they'd be like full baggy and not nice and shit, but yeah.

FUCK YEAH, BEST $6 SPENT IN A WHILE (kinda).

Wearing

White shirt from Cotton On but I cut it up and shredded it

Second-hand Wrangler flares I think, LOL, but DIY'd into cut-offs.

704

Things to do today:
1. Take photos of stuff.
2. Finish at least half of my Truong homework.
3. Read at least like 40 pages of that English novel that I don't wanna read.

4. Start maths assignment.

Apparently I woke up too late and my mum didn't want to wait, and she went to Cabramatta without me, to get an injection. So I have to get it tomorrow, or something? Anyway, so I woke up and didn't really wanna do much. My chair right now feels so high. Uncomfortably high. :( How annoying. I'm not 100% what we're doing in Truong right now, but I think it's .. discriminant, and stuff like that, but I don't remember. :s Ugh, I had Mazeltov by ZE:A stuck in my head this morning, in the shower. Oh yeah, my mum accidentally bleached my blue Davenports. Now they're like vaguely tie-dye. :o LOL.

Oh, and I had this weird dream. I only remember one part because I was thinking about my dream and then remembered this part, and ended up forgetting everything else. :o Anyway, it was at school and I was sitting at our group, and I turned around and saw Eugene casually standing there, like he was patiently waiting for me to turn around and say hi to him, and I said Hi and then he's like, Oh hi, and he went off, back to his group or something. Then I decided to just walk with him and we were talking, and then like .. Idk, but I remember looking at him again, after we had finished our conversation, and he had a prosthetic arm? O___O But it was kinda fucked up and scary cuz he had a prosthetic arm, but it was only his forearm, and he had two arms on the other side? Like it was his arm, but kinda artificially put on to the same side as his other arm which was functioning fine. :o Yeah, hopefully he doesn't read this and gets offended. LOL.

Oh shit, I only have 1.5MB left on my iPod. Omfg. Time to delete shit. :I

--------------------

Err, none of that is actually mine, except for like the Pocky or something. That's not even my room. Wearing: Genvin's shirt ($10, Arvust, thrifted), sister's watch and ring, mum's old belt which she doesn't wear anymore so I've taken it, but it's still kinda hers.

I don't know why I have so much Pocky. :I I bought like three boxes yesterday, and the other one is from earlier this week, wth, lol. Wow, my table is really messy, everything's just stacked up.

Yvy said my bed looked really comfy and welcoming when she saw a photo of it one day. She saw a different photo where the lighting was better, but that was before, when I didn't have three toys on my bed and only had two. :p

Yay, that's the toy I got yesterday and like the third toy I have on my bed now, haha. It's so soft and niceeeee. :D :D And it has like a stripey tail. I fricken love it, omg.

I said I was gonna take a photo of what I wearing, the other day. This isn't what I was wearing, lol, but this is pretty much the same thing. I'm just wearing different shorts here. These shorts are so small for me, oh my gosh. Wearing: Genvin's shirt ($10, Arvust, thrifted), Dotti DIY cut-offs (the jeans were $20 from $60), Sportsgirl stockings ($14.99), quilted chain clutch ($29.99, Portmans).

5:41pm

Kk give up on maths assignment and I only did the first question. Stopped after q8 in set 8 for Truong, I'm not sure how I'm meant to do 9 or 10. FML.

555 / Good things happen on Mondays

So good things happen on Monday, right?
1 Stayed up till 3:15am talking on the phone, even though I said I'd go at 1am.

2 Because I woke Genvin up because he woke up late and took 10 minutes in the bathroom and leaving me with only 5 fucking minutes to shower, get dressed, brush my teeth and get to the fucking bus stop, I was mega tired and bought myself a large iced coffee.

3 Was actually paying attention in ag, actually did work in geo with Yates. Sat with Chungy in maths, science was a bludge. Commerce wasn't too bad, sat with Wendy, Vincent and Jason. Omg, that's his name, right? Miss Smith isn't too bad as a teacher, too.

4 Happy birthday, Kevin! :D

5 Got my tax file number application form, and was filling that out in my room. My mum was at the dining table reading and opening the mail and ..

6 My studs from eBay came in, fuck yeah! :D (Btw, these photos are kinda dodgy, sorry, click to view larger, of course. :D)

Ordered 40 studs, they ended up sending 58. Ordered 8mm silver pyramids and cones, got a few extra in different styles and stuff. Yay! Just waiting for my iron-on domes from the UK.

How dodgy is my studding! :( That's all I did on that side, though, haha, and I'm lining the other side's pocket. I only got two on before I went to tutor, though, haha. But yeah, I'm gonna line the pockets with studs like 1cm or so apart. And I want to line the top of my back pockets, but I don't know if I'll have enough studs, omg! I need to buy more already. :( All distressing and studding is by me, yay! :D


That's my shredded shirt. :) I also cut little holes in it so it'd look more worn. It was this old cotton on shirt I bought in 2007, $7.50 down from $15. Um, I'm not sure what to do with the sleeves though. Taking out all the stitching is taking forever, but if I cut off the stitching it'll be too short. So I think I'll just take my time and take out all the stitching. The photo makes the shirt look kinda crap. Hmm .. I'll see if there's a better photo, wait.. Nah, the other photo's too blurry. Aw, I'll probably take another photo later though. :P

7 Oh, my dad came back from Melbourne today. :)

So today was a good day, I reckon. :D But I don't know why I don't feel happy atm .. :S

533 / Walls

Oh yeah, I took photos yesterday.

That's my wall: Onitsuka Tiger poster, magazine cut out (2), Mossimo catalogue, American Apparel bag, Lee tag (3), General Pants Co. post, Mossimo catalogue, Globalise catalogue, G-Star catalogue, magazine cut out, Gluestore poster, magazine cut out, Hype DC postcard, One Teaspoon postcard, Gluestore poster, magazine cut out (2).

My washed CR bag and my books this year, wrapped in Mossimo catalogue, GPC poster and white contact. Oh, and my maths book isn't there, and my art VAPD is probably just going to stay black.

My nails are chipping. Three of those polishes (red, blue, black) are from Danica's house and the other black and purple (which are the ones that are chipping the most) are from home.

What I dressed up in: Line singlet in navy (Genvin's, not mine; $19.95 @ GPC) and shorts (Oh, KM bought these for me but I cuffed them more and distressed them, $29.95 @ Cotton On). This looks way too sparkly, like a fairy cummed on the photo. LOL.

431

LOL, bromo. :P

iTunes looks badass now. Like everything's lighter (colour).

Will edit later cuz I'm watching Zombieland on my laptop, lol, watched it last night as well and it's good, man. :D And umm, yeah, Genvin's like, Finish your post, cuz he wants to post smth, so I'll edit this later. And omg, I just realised how gross the brush in the photo was. LOL. Btw it's not mine. That's not my room. O___OOO LOL. I'll probably take the photo again.

--------------------

6:34pm

What I wore today:
1. Ladakh hole-y singlet, $28 down from $35 @ Globalise (new)
2. PSC studded belt, $24.95 @ PSC
3. Jeans West high-rise shorts, $18 or smth?
4. Sportsgirl removeable clutch chain worn as a necklace
5. Stussy SS logo necklace, $15 @ Gluestore
6. Ring from my grandma, haha.
And you'll notice I'm wearing purple nail polish. Since when was the last time I did that. :0 It's always one of several pinks or red. :P

Dear Manisay,
Thank you for posting a tutorial on how to create a vintage effect on Photoshop, printscreens included. I've found it terribly helpful and it looks really good. Oh, and it's also really simple which makes things heaps easier. Tyvm!

From Genevieve

Dannis came over this morning. Ohh, he's making his earring into a stretcher. So earlier today he had like .. Y'know those earrings that are like long and they're like a fang? Like a fricken fang just stabbed through your ear. LOL. Terrible description, but yeah he put a thicker one in. It'll be weird if he stretches it too much, cuz I reckon stretchers look good only if they're like 1cm diameter stretched. Any more and it's nty, and less looks silly. Hahaha.

So I had nothing to do, and I bought that top yesterday, so I decided to dress up and take a photo of my top. Um, I've got a problem. If I keep taking photos of what I'm wearing while using my current camera with the broken LCD screen, all the photos are gonna come out pretty similar, cos I have to take them in the mirror, and I always end up using my sister's room. I could use like the bathroom but that's not cool, or I could go to my mum's room, I guess. Point is, I really need a new camera. (Lol, how can people read how I talk about nothing like every time I blog and still be interested :0)

Okay, I think my photo via bonesandstyle has like finally finished its hype. Lol. I don't think people really care but I was/am like pretty pysched about it. 826 notes. Idk but that's really cool, man. :) And yeah, so now I owe Wendy a Chuppa Chup for hearting my photo via weheartit, and that's how I became famous. Ooh yeah. LOL.
