Cold, cold days.

How's everyone surviving February? Mine sucked, and continues to suck. It's good to have a blog...when you feel crappy you can just write write write write write...until you're just too exhausted to feel crappy anymore. Don't worry, I won't be ranting about how sucky my life is =P. Just going to do a much needed update on what's happening!

First off, I cut my hair short again! Already mentioned this and there was a picture int the last post. I dyed it with GOSH hair dye which was amazing. I used 'darkest brown'

I love this colour!!!

Not sure if you can see, but it's a pretty dark brown

Before (my fading brown hair)

Tada! Looks black, but in different lighting it looks more brown =)

For $8.99, this is AWESOME. But I mean, this is going from light to dark, it would be seriously hard for any brand of dye to screw up a colour like that XD. Nevertheless, I think I would definitely use this for going back to "dark hair" instead of an intense black.

Hmm, what else is there to talk about? Well I got my library challenge books, and the Venom one you saw a few posts back wasn't mine so it doesn't count as my January book. I got 2 Batman comics! Very excited to read those, but my friend has them right now since she ordered them for me with her other stuff. These will be my first DC comics! Will do a library challenge post soon for Jan and Feb.

Ohh, I took my grad pictures on Friday! They uploaded the proofs just now =) I don't know which to pick T-T I think most of them look pretty good thanks to the photographer! So glad he was the patient kind, he didn't rush through it =)! Yeahh, it makes it even tougher to choose only two though -_-" I'll post the worst one then, just for laughs =D...

LOL!! This pose just cracked me up =P

Ah yes, I should also post some pictures of Pearlie's surprise going away party! This was a month ago, but I couldn't post about it since Pearlie took forever to make her announcement...lol.

Of course, all the food was Pearlie favourites <3! Can you guess where Pearlie sat? If the RED CUP didn't give it away, I'm sure the random short round wine glass did....lol =P

We had some champagne for the occasion, but only 4 of us liked it lol.

Pearlie's signature fruit on cheesecake! This party can't get anymore "Pearlie" than this.

Opening presents! I didn't really take much but basically we got her the friendship necklace I showed you here which we all have, and also a travel size blow dryer and straightener set with a little pouch since it's a must have for her to fix her hair tips every morning =D.

Writing goodbye notes for each of us...and complaining a lot about not knowing what to write =P

NOMNOMNOM cake.

Okay and of course giving her all this wasn't enough, so we went ahead and did this too...(all Pearlie's pictures from this point on)

367 love notes for her to read everyday in Korea, including plane rides here and back <3! A great antidote for homesickness, no?

Lastly, let's finish off with Pearlie's food pictures from our Winterlicious lunch and Pickle Barrel birthday lunch! Happy belated birthday to Alx and our friend Oli~

Winterlicious at Joe Maggiano's

Pickle Barrel

Well, that's the last of it...guess I'll stop here. I'm on reading week right now, hopefully I'll have more to blog about =P Bye for now~

Almost doneeeeee!

I've haven't made a blog post for more than a month now and I'm sure San is not impressed with that LOL, but my final assignments and exams from school is just too overwhelming for me to do anything else other than "sleep, eat, work, study" x 1000000 ><".... However, I'm almost doneeeee now! The only thing left before this term is officially over is a 15-page take home exam T-T

Anyways, what I wanted to blog about in this post was my haircut that San wanted me to talk about back when I first got it in March (ahaha...yes it's been exactly a month since then ><")

So when I went to get my haircut, I described it as something like this:

I described the length of this girl's hair, not the full fringe in the front...(Credit: www.rasysa.com)

Click "read more" to see my actual haircut! (LOL~)

Help me out?...pretty pleaseeeee :)

LOL..very lame title but I can't think of anything else at the moment...><"

Anyways, I'm currently doing my thesis research for psychology and I'm examining the relationships that may/may not exist between an individual's personality traits, their motives for using the Internet and the addictive use of the Internet. Soooo...I'm asking you to pleaseeee help me out by filling out a survey. (However, you need to be at least 18 years of age to participate in this study.)

The survey is very simple and straightforward. It has four parts and should take around 15-20 minutes to complete. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you may choose to stop participating at any time.

If you are interested and would like to participate or learn more about this study, then click on this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9QMCN5T 

Btw, if you have any questions about the study, you can contact me through this blog, or on this Facebook Page or by emailing me at: pearliel@yorku.ca

(Credits: To whoever made this picture, I'm sorry I can't do a proper credit b/c I couldn't find out who made it ><")

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)

P.S. If you can find other friends/siblings/parents to participate as well that would be great!! xD

Last Floral of Summer

Hello all...I'm feeling so unmotivated to post because it's school time again =( Arghh, I'm so tired from the first day -_-" and I already found out from an email on Friday that I have a stupid exam on my birthday T^T!! DAMNIT. Anyway, I already have A LOT of stupid readings and assignments to do (gotta love those profs for piling them up on us...) so I'll just upload a few pictures me trying on the dress mister D bought~

Sleeves down. Excuse my horrid face, I woke up a zombie that day and decided make up would do nothing for me.

Sleeves up! Lol, don't you just love the dirty mirror ^^?

Lalala...close up. Ah yes, I should start listing what I'm wearing...lessee,
H&M floral dress/strawberry black knee socks from Pacific Mall/Aldo boots

I COULD post a proper picture of the boots, but I realized my fat thigh was squeezing out of my knee socks in that shot, so I decided not to...HEHE. It'll probably come up again next time.

Anyway, let's end this post with a picture of the dead looking me on the first day of class:

This is my "get-me-out-of-class-before-it-even-starts" outfit. Very appropriate, since I look like a bum. I certainly captured that homeless look exquisitely, don't you think? *sarcasm overload*

If you love those droopy toques/hats or whatever they're called, this grey one IS FOR YOU. Omg, I admit $30 cdn plus tax for something like that is a bit much, considering H&M has knitted ones for like $7, but seriously...this one fits soooo much better. And since everyone started wearing the H&M ones, I like this one even more haha XD. I forgot the brand...Osaka something. Osaka Pop? Errrr....I'll find out somehow. I got it in a store in Downtown Toronto. Lalalaaaaa...yeah, I'll shutup about that now =D

Well, that's all for today. What a disappointment, I know. But seriously, today killed me...my hand is shaking still from copying notes -_-". I'll try to write more interesting entries and post more fun pictures soon, I PROMISE.

Bubbyeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
---San.

woohoooo...SUMMERTIME!

YAY, finally done summer school which means more free time = a change of layout for the blog! So, I just quickly made a plain banner today and kinda altered the whole layout a bit cause the old stuff is just so UGLY!!! LOL. However, the new banner reminds me of Hello Kitty (does anyone agree with me?) but I didn't do it on purpose I swear. =P

Anyways, now that my summer course is over I have plans to find a job that is related to teaching, but its so hard!! I don't even know where to start looking for one because the sites that I've went to look at are all weird, or I'm just too dumb to navigate through them and search for what I need. T-T So I guess until I find one, I shall just RELAX!!! xD

Hmmm...I've can't think of what else to write about, so just to make this post not as boring, here's a bunch of random food photos from my phone (and ignore the bad quality part of them)!!! LMAO

TaeYang from Big Bang on 2%!!! :)

Yummy banana milk from the brand that Lee Min Ho (the male lead from Personal Taste) filmed a commerical for...loll :D

Green tea ice cream pancake!

Strawberry fantasy ice cream from Cold Stone @ Tim Hortons.

Starbuck's mocha frappuccino that I didn't like too much. -_-"

AND last but not least...

Strawberry ice cream waffle that was SUPER delicious! :D

Okay, time for tv...so I'll write more next time!
