Gifts for meeee pleaseee! #2

Yet another late post sorry. Here are some things I received as Christmas gifts from family and also some gifts I bought for myself recently because of all the sales! hahah ;D This is just a filler post as you can see...ahem...

COACH: Cashmere Gloves with beautiful 3D bow details from my Godparents <3

 My aunt and uncle (my "godparents") always buy me gifts every Christmas. For the last three Christmas' they have bought me items from COACH. They bought me my first COACH wristlet 3 years ago, which was my first ever 'designer' accessory/purse item! Now I love COACH and you will see later what I bought for myself from there too! These gloves are sooo soft and luxurious. I absolutely love the gold button detail and the coloured bows <3 I have yet to wear them because I'm afraid of ruining them, and I also want to save them for a nice event/outing!

CONAIR: curling iron gift from my older bro and sis-in-law <3

 Ok. My bro and his wife didn't actually pick this for me. They had bought me a gift card for Wal-mart and I decided to buy this! I needed a new curling iron because the one I had was originally my mom's from the 80s...so I hope you understand that any curler is better than the one I was using!!! haha I used this once so far, and it heats up super fast and it worked very well. I hope to use it more often, and I really like that it's ceramic.

 With the remainder of the wal-mart gift card, I bought three movies seen above.  I never seen 'Sky Captain' so I decided to try it out for only $3.97! It was an awesome movie and I'm glad I bought it! 2nd is 'Arthur' with my future hubby, Russell Brand <3 love this movie!!! I bought it on sale for $10.00! 3rd is both of the 'Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants' movies in one disc-set which I bought for only $5.00. I never buy double disc-sets but since I had only seen the first movie, I decided I would buy them this way just in case the 2nd movie was shitty...which it wasn't after all. I actually would say I liked the second one better although both are good overall.

Le Chateau- black military style boots $35.00 (on sale)

 Yet another pair of boots. I have always loved military style-ANYTHING! When I saw these I had to get them and luckily they were 30% off of $60.00 but originally they were over $100! Good deal :) They are super sexy and I hope to have a outfit post with these in a future blog post!

COACH: red Satchel $70.00 (on sale)

 I love red and I have been dying to buy an over-the-shoulder purse for a very long time. I saw some of my gfs have these satchels from COACH and for the longest time I debated if I should spend a lot just for a purse. I finally bit the bullet and purchased one at the COACH factory outlet near where I live. I received 30% off when I entered the store, and I knew I was going to get one of these with it!This is actually the first designer purse/accessory I have every bought on my own :)

New Balance: exercise clothing $35.00 (on sale)

 New Balance (a high-end athletic store) was having a 60% sale on everything and it was my first time ever stepping into their store! Now I will go to the gym in style ;D

Zellers & Wal-Mart: exercise bras $11-15.00 ea

More exercise stuff I bought myself to get me motivated to workout and go to the gym more often!


Nothing else to say. I have been working a lot and never have time to go out and dress up lately :( I hope to have better posts soon!!!

My Skin Lifesaver !

I have the worst facial skin ever! It's really dry and I always get red spots and blemishes. Part of the reason is my fault because I touch my face too much when I break out. I just can't stand seeing a pimple on my face :( Also, a lot of the time the pimples are ingrown and are soooo painful I cannot bear leaving it alone! After I usually deal with them (the wrong way of course), they dry up and I get flaky skin. It also leaves large red blemishes! *tear* Recently, my brother (of all people) suggested this night moisturizer by The Body Shop that helped him diminish his acne. He actually gave it to me and ever since my skin has felt so moisturized and less dry. I use it with a day moisturizer by The Body Shop and I noticed my skin has improved so much!  I can say now I hardly even get acne because I think the Vitamin E in both products prevent it. I now only seem to break out when that time of the month is near which is better than breaking out all the time! I also haven't had any ingrown painful pimples since I have been using these products. They are now my day/night skin lifesaver <3 My bro said they are expensive but it's definitely worth the money and I WILL  purchase more in the future.

night and day

my day cream-use a light layer! (Next time I will buy the one for dry skin)

my night cream-use a light layer!

If you have tried these moisturizers or plan on trying them in the future, let me know of your skin results!! I hope they help others' skin as much as they helped mine :)

VIP @ The Bank

My friends and I from work decided to try VIP bottle service at this club called "The Bank." This post is long overdue as this event took place the Thursday before Christmas Eve! lol sorry guys...I'm such a procrastinator!It's kind of funny that we went to the club on a Thursday but we're cool like that ;D

It was my first time going to a club as a VIP and it was overall a medicore experience. I feel like it's so overpriced for bottle service when you can get the same bottles at the LCBO for half the club's price. I guess people like bottle service at a club for the experience though. I did feel pretty cool being VIP though because we got our own booth and it was nice to sit from all the dancing once in awhile in our own private area :) We all split the cost for the alcohol but it sucked because I didn't really get a say as to what kind of alcohol we would be sharing. Everyone wanted TEQUILA...and if you read my Halloween post you would know I never want to drink that stuff again! Nonetheless, we all split on Tequila and I drank it unwillingly because I wanted to get my money's worth :( ewwwww... We also got greasy pizza and 3 drinks to mix the alcohol with for being VIP. I was expecting a much better choice(s) for the food part but I guess people like greasy pizza at the club...

Later that night, I asked one of the guys in our party if he would buy me a rum & coke from the bar because I wanted to avoid drinking more of the tequila. I guess he was already drunk because when I came back from dancing I saw a large bottle of dark rum at our table and I was like "WTF, where did this come from and who bought this???!!" I asked one of the waitresses who brought it and she told me that my friend (who I thought was at the bar getting my mixed drink...) BOUGHT IT RIGHT THERE!! It had to be atleast $100!!! I felt bad and started downing the rum too!!

Needless to say, I mixed two hard liquors and ended up having a terrible end result by the end of the night. It's kind of funny when I think about it now but also very gross & embaressing haha >.< All the dancing wasn't enough for me to sober up and I got really sick. I remember I went to sit at our booth and I looked down and then...*BLARGH* I threw up all over the  floor...:( :( Then the two security guards came and escorted me out LOL. I can't believe I was KICKED OUT of the club! I felt pretty bad and was crying so much outside in the cold but my friends came outside and made sure I was okay to go home.

I had an awesome time dancing with my friends, despite my mishap. Luckily I didn't have any idiots try to dance up on me :) Here are some pics from that night!

me and baby Tegan <3

I was the only white girl in the group so here I am trying to be asian <3

All of us at our VIP booth :)

I thought this pic was funny b.c if my hand had moved there could have been a special shot;D

Official Bank photo of our group...with random dude in the background LOL

Oh the clubbing experience is hilarious all right...

Christmas Carol Secret Santa 2011

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

A week before Christmas though, my friends and I had a party that was themed "dress up like your favourite Christmas song" and it was super fun! My bestfriend and I came up with this theme together <3 A lot of our friends (like 96%) participated which was a surprise because I know as we get older, themed parties are perceived as juvenile. We also held a Surprise Secret Santa where everyone was required to buy a random $1 gift and give it to whomever's name they picked out of my Santa hat! Everyone had a laugh at their gifts, but I know they will also be cherished. It's fun to do Secret Santa because it gets everyone mingling with one another, even those we never met before!  I recommend that people should hold these kind of parties during the holidays because it gets everyone together and it's different and exciting. It definitely got us all excited and prepared for Christmas a week later.
PS. I dressed up as the "Last Christmas" song! I cut out a craft foam heart and wrote "last christmas" with a rigged line in the middle and then I cut a second heart that had the line from the song"this year I'll give it to someone special!" I would hold the second heart in my pocket and pass it along to those I loved! I wish I made more than one so everyone would get to keep my heart(s)!!! My friend Emily was the lucky one that got to keep the good heart in the end and she said she will show me it at next year's Christmas party to show her devotion lmaooo!!!!

Here are some pictures from the party :D

beer was my drink of choice that night haha

Last Christmas!

Our make-shift Christmas tree LOL (made out of stringed lights and ornaments!)

we had some karaoke going on too!

my friend, Dave as Frosty the Snowman!

Megan as Nutcracker Ballet and Kyle as THE GRINCH

The Grinch made a bunch of these signs and would stick it on our backs without us knowing! (mine said: you're a hoe, hoe hoe!)

example of The Grinch's mischief!

my bffl, Monika as "Santa Baby" (because she is pregnant) haha pun!

me and my girls Monika and Emily <3

Me and Frosty !

Emily holding my good heart in her special place LOL

We ended the night talking and finishing our drinks. I was drunk and decided to prank call people using my phone with my friend Emily. We were asking people to do "sex surveys" with us over the phone. It was hilarious! I also called my friend Mathew saying I was someone from "Planned Parenthood" LOL. Good times!!!


I will have more posts soon about my recent club experience and what I got for Christmas !! HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!

Gifts for meee please :)

Christmas time is around the corner...okay maybe like 5 days away and a week ago I decided to shop for myself only, I know...selfish  right? But I never shop for myself often and I can't turn down good deals when I see them! My main objective when I went to the mall was to finally get a new cellphone plan which also made me buy a new phone to go with the plan! I didn't want a new phone, but I guess I had update sooner or later anyways! I did go on other shopping trips for others but lets just focus on MEEEEE this time, ok? I also thought that some of these would be great gift ideas that I could share with my reader since I had found really good deals for things that are often very expensive! Well here you go also complete with some random Christmas-y & Kitty pictures too. I couldn't resist!

At my friend, Bonnie's house, drinking with our friend Charles too!

My new touch phone: kinda-free with Virgin Mobile SuperTab ;D

Long Awaited Katy Perry 'Purrs' fragrance: $65 at SEARS w/ free tote, MEOW ;D

PS. I added "Disqus" to my blogger comments, so I am able to reply to comments! I suggest this application to those who find it annoying to go back and forth blogs to comment !!

Drop Dead Diva

So, I am not the type of person who tunes in every week for a new episode of their favourite TV show but when I stumbled upon the show, "Drop Dead Diva," it had me wanting more!! Seriously. The last show I followed on TV was The Office (which is still one of my fave shows!!!).
I thought I should dedicate a blog post to this particular show because I have been spending most days trying to catch up on the last three seasons on the internet so I can prepare myself for the fourth season (which starts in 2012!! ) It took me about a week and now I'm on episode 7 of the third season, yay me! hahaha...
I should be more focused on other things, but this show is very ADDICTING...and gets my mind off of shitty things going on in my life at the moment.

If you don't know about this show, I will give a brief summary: It is about this very skinny model, Deb, who has the perfect life until she dies in a car accident. She hits the "return" button when she goes to "limbo" and her soul is transferred into another woman's body who happened to have died around the same time Deb died. Deb is now Jane, a larger bodied, highly intelligent lawyer. With this new body, she also gained Jane's brains. This brings a lot of changes for Deb because she has to learn how to move on while working with her "ex" boyfriend (Deb's bf) in the lawfirm as well as meet people that the real Jane knew. Needless to say, Jane encounters alot of challenges which are often humourous and unique. She has to live a totally different life than Deb,s like trying to get over struggles with her bigger body image--something she never encountered before. She also has to fight lawyer battles every day!

Needless to say, this show has a very unusual premise and storyline but it somehow works! I love to see what Deb/Jane has to deal with every episode, while I also hope that things work out for her in the end!!

It is also different seeing a bigger woman as a lead character of a TV series. I think this alone brings a positive message to woman in real life who are larger than Deb's size. Jane really has it all: brains and beauty :)

Applying for Grad School!

Future sexay librarian right here ;D 

**oldpic**

 Ugh, sooo lately I have been super nervous and stressed about applying for grad school. I need to get a Masters degree to become a full librarian !!! I know to most people they find this hard to believe but honestly librarians have a lot to do and are very knowledgeable about LOTS of things. They are not just there to "shhhhh!" and sign in/out books !!! Unfortunately, this is a very common misconception.  Mostly anyone that have asked me what I wanted to be after University are surprised when I say "I want to be a librarian." The first thing most people say to this is ,"Wow, librarians need to go to University and get a Masters degree? People still read? woww!" ARGH. It's really annoying when people assume this b.s. about librarians~!!!

Applying for grad school requires a long process. I first had to email my profs from last year to ask for references. I'm a really shy person and was very shy in University courses so it took me awhile to finally get the courage to email them!!! Luckily my bf helped me write the emails! Without his help...I would still be thinking too much about it and wouldn't be doing anything! I actually got two replies, which is all I really needed! It would help if I got a third but I'm just lucky two have replied :) Now, the next step is to write an essay/cover letter that explains why I want to be in the program and why I should be accepted, and also a resume, and official school transcripts >.< AHHH.
Not to mention, they also want $125 for applying...

WISH ME LUCK!!! PLEASE <3
