My Outfits :D

Infinite scarf by Aldo
Black dress by Brandy Melville
White dress by H&M
Leather jacket by Garage

Made cake and spaghetti with the boyfriend :)

And he made that cookie of me. Not cool.

Frozen yogurt cafes

This frozen yogurt place opened in my neighbourhood and it's my new favorite hangout place. I love putting the gummy bears in it and eating them when they're all frozen.

Kate Spade IPhone case

Bought this iPhone case from the apple store today. Love it <3

I finally have a case for my iPhone 5 so I got to rip off that tacky plastic protective sheet it comes with.

Finally haha.

My boyfriend cooks the best stirfry

We had this for dinner today. It's chicken pineapple stir fry with onions and green and red peppers. I stole lots of the pineapple and ate it. It's my favourite fruit.

Today was sadly the first time I ever cut chicken. I cut it into cubes and did you know chicken breast is not soft and squishy at all? It's actually so rough to cut. Well you probably knew but I didn't.

We always eat our food with Tabasco sauce and it was delicious.

Sushi Date <3

Today I went on a sushi date with my boyfraaand. We got California rolls, dynamite rolls, chicken teriyaki rolls, chicken udon, spicy tofu, tempura, and gyoza. Nomnom :)

Summer Bucket List!

You are a product of your environment.

6 Reasons Relationships End

1. Being Addicted to Passionate Love Instead of Compassionate Love

Passionate love is what we recognize as the honeymoon phase. It is the stage where you begin to date and every little thing feels amazing. The next stage of a relationship is compassionate love. This is the kind of love that married couples have which stems from being in a relationship for a long period of time. It is the stage we may recognize as being "comfortable" because now the couple has learned more about one another and the flame has sort of simmered down. Teenagers are often unaware of these two different stages so when they go from one phase to the next, there is often that, "OMG I am falling out of love" reaction. That is simply not true. It is just a different stage. Passionate love is addicting because it is associated with that "I have butterflies" feeling but most people who are dependent on it usually cannot hold long term relationships and are what society would term as being "promiscuous" or "slutty." 


2. Selfishness

Every girl deserves to be a little selfish in my opinion, but when it is always "me, me, and MORE ME" that gets exhausting for guys to handle. And visa versa. Selfishness in relationships are what usually leads to fights because one or more partners may feel taken advantage of or have the sense of a loss of control. If you are selfish and tend to always do what you want to do on dates, your boyfriend or girlfriend may simply get bored. Or they may feel that you do not care about their interests at all and you will end up not learning very much about them in the longrun.


3. Cheating

If you have cheating tendencies, first of all you should not be in a relationship. Second, if you cheat and still want to be in the relationship with that poor girl or guy, most psychologists agree that you should not tell them what you did. Most people just can't get over it and they will probably end the relationship. Congrats, now you do not have a boyfriend/girlfriend cause you were dumb. You deserve to keep that guilt to yourself and pray to holy jesus that no one will tell them about it later. Cheating will kill that other person's self esteem and they will develop trust issues later on in the relationship IF they chose to continue on with the relationship. They will also bring trust issues into any future relationships. Statistically relationships that begin with affairs will not last. Just honestly, don't do it. And don't put yourself in a place in the first place that you may be tempted to cheat. Also if you are the person who is responsible for playing the role of the mistress and ending a healthy relationship cause you were selfish or just wanted to fool around, you should just go die and you deserve to be cheated on in your next relationship and be alone forever.


4. Not Making Time for One Another

I honestly don't care if you've been in a relationship for a month or five years, you still have to put in the effort to make your significant other feel special. Most of the time when people are tempted to cheat, it is probably because they feel so utterly ignored or unappreciated. It is just a very sad time when someone has to admit that they fooled around because they were desperate for you to notice them. Or felt so unloved they had to find it elsewhere. We all have friends that we want to hang out with, but your relationship is what takes the most amount of time to develop. Your girlfriend or boyfriend should be one of your top prioritizes if you see a future with them because one day you will have to live under one roof and practicing being together for long periods of time can make that transition easier. Schedule in dates no matter how busy you may be and prioritize for one another. Otherwise you'll let your relationship grow old and boring & no one wants that.


5. No Communication

If you do not know how to communicate, you are going to have a hard time in any relationship you try to build. Nobody knows if you were mad cause "your boyfriend talked to that attractive girl you hated at that party two weeks ago." Guys are so oblivious this by the way because men tend to be bad at taking small hints. Couples need to learn how to communicate because being too passive and holding things in will lead to resentment in the long run and cause a feeling of helplessness. Communication is what will make a relationship last.


6. Lack of Love

Not everyone is capable of loving someone and "true" love is actually very hard to find. In my opinion, all you have to do to keep a relationship going is to love one another. The best kind of relationship is when it just feels easy. Love makes a relationship last.

My new Michael Kors watch

I bought this watch yesterday and it is so beautiful like you would not even believe. It is rose gold so it goes well with my everyday outfits. It is stainless steel so it will probably stay beautiful forever. It tells time& date.

Whoever said "money can't buy you happiness" obviously never bought this Michael Kors watch.

The saddest moment of my life was when I realized that I put "pissing people off that pissed me off" as one of my top priorities.

That awkward moment when you confide in a friend and they tell the whole world.

Like really buddy? o.O

Everyone has gossiping tendencies some days but some people just suck. Especially when they're biased and twist your words around.

Like really buddy? -.-

When people do that I just make a mental note and it says in bright red flashing letters, "Wow, never telling you anything personal ever again."

One Day

One day I want a small intimate outdoor ceremony wedding. With all my best friends and family. Maybe on a beach somewhere or in a rose garden. I want a buffet style dinner so we can eat all the food in the world. And have random appetizers like french fries with chocolate milk shakes. And a reception with loud music &lights and the whole sha bam. One day I want to marry the love of my life and BE PRETTY AND HAVE A PRETTY DRESS ;)

One day (if I have enough money and ECE nannies) I want to have a Brangelina family and adopt cute multicultural children as well as have my own kids.

One day life will be more exciting than it is now. One day I will be successful in my career because I have worked hard for it. One day there will be a happy ending <3

Suicide Awareness

Suicide awareness month is September but there are all kinds of people out there today struggling with suicidal thoughts: friends, coworkers, acquaintances, family members, etc.

People crying themselves to sleep or staying at home staring at nothing all day wishing something could  put them out of their misery.

We are all alive for a reason. And I know that may be hard to see at the time, but it's true. Life may suck now, but it may just mean you haven't "peaked" yet. Depression may have taken over your life, but there is always a way out of it. There are resources out there like you would not believe.

If you have suicidal thoughts, that means that you are not mentally in the right place to make a decision like killing yourself. You've just mentally gone too far and you'll regret it. Trust me. If you off yourself it's the easy way out. You will never get to experience life; ie. watch your friends get married, have kids, or grow old with your special someone.

A psychiatrist once said, "I've met lots of people who have a mental illness, but I've never met one that I didn't have a treatment for."

Theatre at UBC

Come support the talented actors at UBC
Theatre! I had the privilege of getting to know some of them personally &they are some of the most talented and genuine people I know.

:)

If I could help one person out there, I'll be happy that I wasted two years of my life studying for nothing.

You are only gonna be as pretty as how you feel.

I can back this up because since I was little my relatives and friends would compliment me on my looks. I swear some of my cousins hated me as a kid cause apparently I was "prettier" than them. Some days I get random people in coffee shops going "hey you're hot so let me introduce myself." Like cool story bro. No one cares.

If you think you're pretty, you're probably more prone to attract superficial guys and let's say you got married to them one day and your looks disappeared with age. Would he still stay with you? Are you going to freak out and get botox to cover your one wrinkle and then practise an extreme form of dieting because now your metabolism has slowed down with age and you are worried about getting fat? Which by the way can put you at risk for all sorts of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia that are very serious disorders that may be impossible to get out of once you become dependent on them.

If you prioritize getting ready in the morning and take approximately two hours and do this routine daily, that is fourteen hours a week. I don't know about you but that is a waste of my life. I woud rather be studying or baking a cake or hanging out with friends.

You can't rely on your looks to get you far in life if that is all you focus on. One of the hardest things I ever did was try to go into the modelling industry. Having to put your looks ahead of anything else is exhausting. You have to be very confident to be able to go into a room and have agents tell you which part of your face & body is perfect and which are not. And the financial expenses are ridiculous. I mean really, do you realize how much professional makeup costs at Sephora and M.A.C.? And the price of head shots these days? I could have bought textbooks or like a new pet fish instead.

Being defined by your looks is lame and overrated. You can be the prettiest girl in the world but if you are sort of an airhead or conceded about it, who wants to be around that 24/7?

You are only going to be as pretty as how you feel. No matter how beautiful you or other people may think you are, someone out there will always be prettier than you are.

Dance like you're a professional dancer<3

I wish I could go back in time and take dance classes when I was a kid and be a professional dancer. Spent today at Harbour in Jazz class and it was so much fun. Cept when I did my cross floor wrong and the teacher was like WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?

Haha. The dance studio is one of my favourite places to be<3

Popularity is overrated.

I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with popularity. I’ve always had a lot of friends since I was little. It’s not that special. I'd rather have two best friends than like fifteen random friends.

Did you know? Kids who tend to bully kids are usually kids who are popular and they have all this power they just don’t know what to do with it.

Did you know? Apparently the more people you hang out with and the more Facebook friends you have the more depressed you can be?

I think the more people you let into your life, the more exhausting it gets. Especially when you’re a girl. Girls just backstab you and gossip about you when they have no lives. Popularity is over rated and I hate people sometimes. Except for the people I already know J.

Eating Disorders

Having an eating disorder means not having a real life. It’s going to a friend’s sleepover and staring at their chips and pop and eating it then crying in the washroom cause of how utterly disgusted you feel about yourself. THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

Having an eating disorder means you are probably so utterly defined by your looks that if you gain half 2 pounds your life feels like it’s over.

It means when you go through a day without eating it’s the biggest accomplishment in the world.

It means when you try to recover because your family and friends notice you cry like a young disturbed child having a tantrum cause now they’re making you eat and now you can’t lose weight the unhealthy way.

Then you have to eat a full meal cause you probably have to run to the washroom and vomit cause now your body doesn’t even know how to take normal meals.

It means that your hair will start to fall out from nutritional loss and if you go into a shower you may faint and black out cause your blood pressure dropped and now you’ve let it go too far.

WAKE UP EATING DISORDERS KILL PEOPLE.

It means putting yourself at risk for heart attacks and all sorts of other health problems.

The price of being thin is over rated and it’s not worth dying over.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with anorexia or bulimia it’s more common than you think. Visit: http://www.focushelps.ca/topic/eating-disorders?gclid=CNze-5yL0LYCFUeCQgod_hcAsg

Or talk to a counselor. Which by the way is free in Canada. You probably can’t do it alone and if you try to it’ll take forever.

Suicide Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts call this hotline: 604.872.3311 · 1.800.SUICIDE 

Or visit http://www.opentohope.com/ending-your-life-is-not-the-answer

I have met so many people who struggle with depression and thinking that the only way out is by ending their lives.

When you’ve gone that far mentally it’s not normal and it’s not who you are. That’s what we call a mental illness.

I am in such a good place in my life right now but I had to work SO HARD to get there. It’s hard to see people around me struggle with some of the same issues I went through, but I got through it, so you can too.

I'm going to spend today in the dance studio<3

Somedays I feel that the only change I've made since high school is now I spazz out at people with bigger words.

I swear, the more information I learn from school the more depressing the world seems to me. Maybe that's just cause I'm taking depressing courses but I don't know.
Sometimes I miss the days where my biggest problem was how to hide a zit. Or how to find a prom dress. I miss when my friends and I had basically no lives except for each other. When my youth group all believed in the same things. But I also love how we have grown up now.

Religious rights will never overpower human rights.

Amanda Todd

We as a society should be ashamed of cases like Amanda Todd's. We as a society disappointed her and it shows that no amount of professional help can save you sometimes. I hope the people involved like die. My friends knew her personally and she will never get to do stuff like prom or get married. Her life is just over. Before she even technically lived. She just died.
There's always two sides to a story and she made mistakes, fine. But there's a limit to "getting even." Shes human, she was vulnerable, and she was lonely. People can be so horrible there are just no words for it.

HAPPY 420! Let's NOT legalize narcotics k thanks :)

Being Single

Being single was the stupidest time of my life. When you're in a relationship you see happy single people. And visa versa. I just did the most random stuff.

One day I'd wake up and be like IM GONNA JOIN A SORORITY.

Then day two I'd go,  I'M GONNA FIND A NEW CHURCH

Then I went through a psychology phase and took all these upper level psych courses that were hard as heck with scientific words that I didn't know how to pronounce.

Then I went through a creative writing phase.

Then I went through a "I want to be a model phase."

Ok ya I think you get the picture.

There's a fine line between confiding in your friends &getting them to help you and...this is a really big issue this conversation should be reserved for a therapy session.

When you look at your party pictures right next to your church pictures. HAHAHA what the heck

That awkward moment when you freak out cause your friends posted something on facebook that your church and employers might see.

#OnlyChildProblems Wow I didn't know the world didn't revolve around me ! :O

All work is honourable :)

Money complicates relationships

Financial disputes are the #1 reason marriages fail.

1 in 10 people have an anxiety disorder

That awkward moment when you have to save $ for school and can't buy pretty things anymore and eat out everyday &it sucks cause you've become accustomed to a certain kind of lifestyle

#nannyproblems Cancelling plans with friends cause you'd rather spend the day with the kids instead

One of my favourite places to be<3

Some days I think all university has taught me is how to insult people in really smart ways -.-

"I don't know what the secret of success is but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone"

I have come to the acceptance that my fam will probs never be 100% happy with the career choice I've made. That my church family will always probs be disappointed with the ideologies I believe in. I can't please everyone &I can't live life being a people pleaser. I know who, and what my priorities are, and I think that at the end of the day that is what's most important.

Tbh; I want to be an actor because the responsibility of having a career like teacher, lawyer, psychologist, etc is freaky. Acting is different :)

#PsychStudentProblems When someone comes up to you &asks questions way beyond your educational capacities

Social networking sites are social networking sites not diaries -.-

#CrazyGirlfriendProblems Oh you were talking to that girl who was hotter than me?! >: (

That awkward moment when you wish you hadn't left school cause now you want a creative writing degree. #OverAchieverProblems

Love Is Respect

Love is respect.
It is not bitter
It is kind
Love is supporting one another
And prioritizing for each other
Love has boundaries and love respects each others boundaries
Love is not putting someone down
Or making them feel like the smallest person in the world
Love does not manipulate
It does not hurt
It doesn't punch you or scream at you or tell you that you need to be thin or perfect
Or make up stories so you'll love them
Love is unconditional
Love is crazy
But in a good way
Love is respect.
