Wow - I never realized how busy I'd be since fall semester started. I mean, I knew I was gonna be busy but I didn't think to what extent! My usual weekday starts like this:
7am - 9am: Wake up, get ready, feed the dogs, get my breakfast/lunch ready, make my Tazo Awake tea, do any last minute things for school (printing out things, etc.)
10/10:30am: Arrive at school. When I arrive at school I still have a journey to walk to my building! My building happens to be clear across the whole University of Hawaii campus! No where NEAR the parking structure. Not only that, but I'm lugging with me all my books and sometimes my laptop.
10:45am - 12:15pm: Go to Hamilton Library, calm down a bit (get unsweaty, yuck!), study and eat until my class starts.
12:30pm - 2:30pm: In class. Between one class and another, I run my ass to a seperate building where I THEN have to run up 3 flights of stairs AND I still end up being late...and sweaty D:!!
2:30pm: Race to my car to try and beat the traffic that's beginning.
3:00pm - 9:oopm: Study and get homework done at Starbucks in Pearl City. (I used to wonder why people do this, but I tried it out for the heck of it and I realize that I actually become more focused and I get all my crap done!)
9:30pm: Arrive home, get ready for bed, prepare myself for the next day and then fall asleep to Adult Swim by 10:30pm.
RAWR! All my hard work will pay off in the end...I hope.

As much as I love these stockings (which WERE new btw), these types of stockings run easily. Especially for a girl who's running everywhere in one day! I just put these babies on and I noticed a tiny HOLE on my left thigh! I wanted to react ASAP because that hole can be the end of a stocking! So I turned to Google for my rescue. Pressed for time, because I was about to leave for school, I clicked on the first link which was:
http://www.ehow.com/how_116203_fix-run-stockings.html.
I was in a hurry so I didn't really follow the directions accordingly, I just pretty much dabbed on that clear nail polish and left! Here's what ended up happening!
You see that white spot there?! Yep... I have to say though, it did it's job keeping that hole in place!
THEN I NOTICED THESE ON MY RIGHT THIGH! *Sigh...*
I guess it's goodbye to these stockings. Until I find a more stronger version I guess. On a cuter note, do you like my Rilakkuma socks?
On to other purchases I've made! Who knew your local K-Mart would carry such cute items? Where I live we have a K-Mart and a recently opened Target and Ross. As much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ross, the lines are never ending and nowadays, I don't have that kind of time. My co-worker recently bought these SUPER cute, vintage looking kitten heels from K-Mart from a brand called 'attention'. I've seen that brand before actually and I have to say that they have some cute stuff! She told me she got her cute kitten heels for only $4.99!! Say WHAT?! You know I rushed to my K-Mart right away! The good thing is too, is that since Target and Ross opened up, K-Mart isn't swarming with people (good for me, but I guess not good for the business lol). I swiped me the kitten heels and on my way out I spotted this bag.
It's by the same brand also! AND it was on sale! It worked out perfectly because I was looking for a 'silver-toned bag' (to match my silver-only-accessory-outfits) What I love about this bag also is that it hold EVERYTHING I bring to school. Plus, it folds over and just looks absolutely cute and grownup. I even saw pretty much the same exact bag on Urban Outfitters, I think it was about $60 on there.
Oh and I recently bought these boots! I purchased these from F21. I have LOTS of boots and I was sooo hesitant to buy these boots, but I just love the way they look! I figured, since I'm buying these boots, I'm gonna be selling the boots that I already have (the ones that never saw the light of day in ages! Sorry boots lol...you'll be going to a better home)
I used to be a giant-pendant-long-chain-necklace type of girl. Recently I've been using my smaller pendants a lot more and I actually like it better. I feel womanly when I wear my smaller pendants. As you can see from the picture below I'm wearing a small ribbon pendant. That's one of my dailies along with a crown pendant necklace. The teddy bear pendant I just recently bought too! I love it so much! It's too cute! I saw it on F21.com and when I went there the other day THEY HAD IT so I had to get it!
I had to get new sunglasses since mine were crushed to pieces (by me, I accidentally stepped on them with my K-Mart kitten heels lol) The funny thing is, is that only after I bought it and started taking the stickers off of it, I noticed it said MEN21 (F21's line for men). LOL. Oops... I think they look good! What do you think??
I was looking for black frames, but there weren't any. I really like the taupe color though. something different and it kinda adds something to my outfits :)
Last, I bought this drape skirt. I realize also that I need more bottoms in my closet. I've always liked this kinds of skirts but thought they don't work well with my body type. But what the hell, I bought it anyway, I'll MAKE IT WORK. I can wear it highwaist or on the hip or even loose shirts over it. I never wore it out yet, but I'll take pictures when I do! As of late:
♔ Had a jam session (which I haven't had since 2005) and it felt rejuvenating! It made me realize all the more why I miss playing in a band.
♔ In dire need of a hair cut (Just to add shape and volume to my blah hair) and i need to redye my hair (I already have the dye)
♔ I started a
mixi.jp blog account! Let me know if you want an invite!
♔ Got back into Neon Genesis Evangelion. Hands down STILL one of my favorite anime/manga of all time. I can't wait for the 3rd movie to come out. My favorite seiyuu is in NGE, and plus the OST's to NGE are AMAZING.
♔ Started watching 'High School of the Dead' (HOTD). Lots of fan service but I enjoy the zombie/apocalyptic storyline.
♔ Playing the waiting game once again. Hopefully this time...
So I heard from the Manoa International Exchange program. I was at Starbucks randomly checking my email and there it was! As I was staring at the subject title, flashbacks of what happened to me last semester popped into my head. Last semester I applied to study abroad in Japan through another study abroad program at my school, but unfortunately didn't get in. I was crushed and that was one of the worst days in my life to date.
