the end is nearing

I have approximately a week of school left and I've decided to stay home to study for most of it. I don't attend my bio class and I can get cal notes from a friend. Instead of waking up at 5:45am and wasting 2 hours traveling to go to a 1 hour lecture, I think I'd be more productive and less tired if I stay at home. I'm pretty much screwed and behind on an entire semester's worth of material... I'm not even scared of failing anymore. This is how much I want out of my major.

This has been my worst semester ever. I am not motivated at all to do anything. I spend my days doing absolutely nothing. I've been procrastinating to avoid feeling the stress of not keeping up with my work. It's all a mess. I have less than 2 weeks to pull myself together before my finals start. And once it's all done, I'd feel free again.

I'm very much looking forward to my arts classes. I'll actually be taking classes that I'm interested in (and which will spark up motivation to study.) I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Just never had the courage to stray away from the thing I've always known. No more science for me. I'm done with forcing myself to learn uninteresting things. I'll always find a comfort in sciences but I'll do it at my own pace and on my own time.

Upcoming Warehouse Sales in Montreal

Lise Watier and Matt&Nat are having warehouse sales in a week or so. I'm interested in going to the Matt&Nat Sample sale. But sadly public transport is my only way of getting there and it's really out of my way. In cold weather... I'd rather wait for when it happens in the spring/summer. I need a new bag for my trip to Hong Kong then.


The Lise Watier sale has been already going on for 2 weekends! I've never been but have wanted to go in the past. I'm currently not in need or have an urges of buying makeup so I'll pass on this sale. But for those of you who can't get rid of the makeup bargain jitters...

Mont-Royal, QC

Matt&Nat is a Montreal based handbag brand. Their key selling point is that they are a cruelty free and environmental. They use recycled plastic bottles to produce the lining in their products.

I have a friend who has been to their past sales and says they are worth going to.
Buying bags and helping the environment at the same time? Yes, Please!

First Snow

I've been waiting for this for a while now and it's finally here!

It's All in the Details

T-ara just made their Korean comeback shortly after promotions in Japan with "Cry Cry." Combat boots? Check. Leather? Check. My favorite piece of clothing would be Eunjung's (right most) black cut out blouse. I've been really liking detailed blouses and really want to incorporate them in my wardrobe. Blouses give off a slightly more mature look but the cut out details make it young. I'm probably gonna have to hunt a similar blouse down. Asos sells a similar design from Vero Moda. All sizes are sold out except Large and it comes in two colors.

Another cut out detail I like is the back triangle cut out. This triangle cut out from the back is unexpected and cool.


The same blouse has other design details that I've been loving for a while now. The longer back hem AND bell sleeves. Too bad this blouse is $109, otherwise I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
SNSD's Tiffany in "The Boys" MV.

Wonder Girls' promo pictures of "Be My Baby" of Yoobin (and Tiffany) has made me want to grow out my bangs. She looks amazing with sleek long bangs and hair.

A bit of Music

T-ara just recently came out with their new song "Cry Cry" and I love their style. I think I just like the dark edgy look, I seemed to adore Miss A's "Goodbye Baby," the black outfits in SNSD's "The Boys." T-ara's look for "Cry Cry" makes me think of their old concept from their 1st album "Breaking Heart" with a similar bad girl image.

The song is pretty good. The chorus is catchy and Soyeon is amazing singing live for the Acoustic version of "Cry Cry."




The Secret Circle is on their mid-season break and I'm stuck with nothing on Thursday nights to watch. But I've been hooked on Sarah Blasko's "We Won't Run" featured in the pilot episode of the series. I greatly enjoy my K-pop and for some reason I can't stop listening to this song. This song is just amazing.





It's been a long while since I last ventured into Chinese music but I couldn't help listening to Nicholas Teo's new album "Lets Not Fall in Love Again". His voice is just so soothing and perfect for ballads. I also have this song (same name as the album) on repeat and haven't gotten sick of it yet. Chinese lyrics are my favorite, so few words can mean so much. I recommend this album.
