Paper Crane Wishes

 My Drawing I teacher had us make paper cranes all week for homework. She told us that every time when we're folding a crane we were to make a wish. I folded quite some bit and wished for the best for Japan every time. I still hope everyone who's missing is found. Everyone who has lost their homes will be sheltered. And everyone who's lost someone is covered with love. Please be safe and live life well while you still can.

School Update~

Part of a project I was working on for school a while back. :3 I really liked this one, but sadly I forgot to snap a full picture before it got sent off for a contest. (T o T)
The almighty camera I was talking about last time! It really is a simple handmade camera! We took more pictures today, but I'm too tired to scan the ones I took. I'll do that next time.
You can also kind of see my new nail design. It's Hello Kitty with a pink leopard print. I'll probably change it again this weekend if I'm not too busy with school work.
I'm at the top, but I covered my face because I didn't like the way it came out. Desire is at the bottom.
We took pictures of the newly painted picnic benches in the green room of our school. Every now and then someone will go and paint every single 5 or 6 benches with a new design. This one was our favorite. The whole table was set up with plates with forks and knives and seat cushions! So cute! And there's another picture of the camera. :3

Working Out


Hello, everyone~ The title is true, I've started working out a bit. Every Monday and Wednesday my step mom takes me to the gym with her that's right by my school. I've only gone for a short while, but I'm still doing what I must when I'm not there on those days. I've chosen to eat healthier too, which means no junk food, sweets or soda! I haven't had any since I decided on this.
I told Desire about what I was doing with my step mom and now she and her mom have joined our gym too! It's so much more fun to work out with someone than being all by yourself! The song I run to every time is SNSD's Run Devil Run. I listen to both the Korean and Japanese versions since I've got both on my iPod. :3 Of course once the song ends I'll go to Big Bang and their newest songs since they're so upbeat and help me keep going.
My mom tried tempted me today... I came home from my dad's house and my mom had just come home with food. She gave me two choices, a chicken sandwich and fries or a salad...

Of course I chose the salad! SHE WON'T BEAT ME DOWN! \( ^ O ^ )/

Why did I decide on working out? It wasn't just something that randomly hit me, it was something that had been hitting me for a long, long time.
Every time my older sister, older brother or younger brother would get upset with me they'd constantly call me fat, ugly, chubby, etc. Every. Single. Time. What's worse is that my own mom would do the same. She agree with them or call me names too when she was mad at me. When I told her how my dance teacher at school praised me for trying harder in class she told me, "Good. Lose weight." Yeah, doesn't look bad in text, but she said it with the nastiest attitude anyone had ever used on me.
My sister pushed me to my limit. She told me one day that I was so fat and that I'd never change. I told her that I could change my physical appearance into something better, but her way of thinking would never change and would always remain ugly. Of course, she didn't believe me. She told me that what I said was a complete lie for me, that I'd only get bigger and bigger and never stop. She even told me she hoped I cried myself to sleep that night. I cried, it was only expected, but only for a while until I set my mind straight on what had to be done. I wiped away my tears and called up my step mom to tell her about what had happened and how I was going to show my sister that I could, and that I would change my appearance. I would rub it in her face to show that I would work hard for a better body, not for her, but for myself.
And so I've begun. I've been packing my lunch to school lately with tons of fruits and vegetables instead of eating the unhealthy school food. I already feel like I've got more energy in my body! I hope I see changes soon!

Bento Bento


Even though I did make my bento nice and cute.. I forgot to take a picture of it! I felt so bad after I began eating it during my lunch break! I had also forgot my camera and my Lg Dlite phone doesn't have good camera quality so there really was no hope. (; o ;)
I'm going to make another tomorrow for lunch though so I'll take a picture of it in the morning before I put it away and I'll make sure to put my camera in my bag before I sleep tonight! 
On a side note, I've got allergies! Spring is no good for me! I always get a runny nose. (= A=) And stress from school still makes me grind my teeth without realizing I am until the headache forms! </3
Just last Friday and Saturday it was nice and hot, feeling like summer and all, Sunday it got a bit cold, but nothing that I thought I would have to worry about. Today.. Super cloudy and cold.. that eventually led to sprinkling outside! I had no clue, so I didn't bring a sweater or an umbrella! That didn't help at all so now I've got the sniffles because of the weather! 
Of course.. I do have a bad immune system, so that may also be the cause too. I don't think normal people would catch a cold so easily.

On the bright side, since I'm in an arts magnet and part of the visual arts cluster, my second period class, Elements of Media, changes every now and then. I've got a drawing and design class every day on both A and B day, which is fun I guess, but what art class I like the most right now is my photography class! It's now my second period class on A days and I just started it today. We learned how to use these handmade cameras! They were made out of oatmeal cylinder containers! They really are fascinating! Next A day I'll be sure to take a picture of one before class starts. ( ^ o ^ )
 This is the first photo I took! Clearly it's not that good, since my friend Vivian's head is missing and all you can see is her hand on the can and her little cupcake ring, which is that randon dot by the branches. I should leave it out longer next time.
The camera is just an oatmeal container with a hole poked in it and a piece of film paper behind it and yet it takes pictures! I was truly fascinated when it showed. Once again, I'll show you a picture of the camera next time.

Bento Ideas


I ordered a bento online a while ago and it came two days ago. I've been looking through recipes so I can bring it along with me to school on Monday, and some ideas have popped into my head. I've already purchased the basics of what I need for it, but now I've got to think of decorating it! A boring bento is very fun.
I thought that cat bento was one of the cutest ones I've ever seen! The creativity of it goes past what I can ever think of. (T v T)
While I was looking at bento pictures, I stumbled across this cute cake! I'd love to have a cake like that for my birthday!

Stuck with School Work

I'm really full with school work right now. It's art project after art project after academic work after academic work! I'm constantly having to work on something whenever I think I don't have any work left. I just finished an art project that's due tomorrow and it's already 1:30AM but a friend of mine told me we had to finish up ANOTHER project for ANOTHER art teacher! That project is still a work in progress. I've already worked on it, but it isn't done. Looks like that'll have to be turned in unfinished. (T____T)
It's all really stressful. I've gotten into the habit of grinding my teeth because of stress and it gives me massive headaches that last a long while. I'm not the only one with this problem, Desire has this same problem now too because of all the work we've got to do. It's really affecting my sleep and teeth now. (T__________T)
I haven't had time to even work on those book beads nor on my cosplay shorts either! It's heartbreaking!

New Nail Design

Since my nails grow naturally nice and long I don't buy nor do I need fake nails, so I just decorate my nails without the rhinestones and whatnot. My current nail design is a panda bear on each finger nail with a pink tip and gold polka-dots. My nails aren't long at the moment because I broke one and had to clip them all to make them grow evenly and  I wouldn't have to go around with one short nail. I don't think you can see the polka-dots in the picture though. D:

Sushi Japan

Today my friend Desire and I wanted to go back to Sushi Japan since we hadn't been there in a few weeks, so we went after school with a friend of mine and her boyfriend. That was kind of awkward, since he wouldn't really eat, but I guess he was just nervous.
Back on track, we walked in and the little lady that seats people remembered Desire and I and welcomed us back happily which made me smile quite a bit. (^   ^) It's not big at all, so I guess that's why she remembered us? Oh well, it made Desire and I happy. We sat, ordered and began eating. I'm a natural with chopsticks so I didn't have a problem picking up my sushi and eating it. Desire is getting the hang of it now so she was better than the first time we went, but Amber... She kept dropping her sushi in her little bowl of soy sauce! It was really funny because she kept struggling and laughing at the same time and every time her sushi fell apart.
Since Desire and I were capable of eating our meal normally we finished and waited for Amber to try and finish hers since she was still messing with her chopsticks, and this really cute Asian guy walks in. He looked kind of like Ryeowook from Super! He had his shoulders and body type and his face a bit. (Desire and I LOVE Super Junior!) We had a fangirl moment in our seats quietly because he sat at a table next to ours. Funny, I know, but we're really big SuJu fans.
Amber was just finishing and so we sat there for a good while until the woman would come with our check. She served the Ryeowook-look-alike and he ordered quite a lot of food for himself, and I mean, A LOT. She gave us our check, we paid and we walked out after leaving a tip. As we left Desire and I were talking about him (like such creepers, I know. D: ) and whatnot, and when we were halfway toward our school we noticed he was right behind us. Like, same sidewalk and a few feet behind as well. That shocked us a bit, because we thought he might have heard what we were talking about, but we continued on. This is when it got weird. We kept walking straight, he kept walking straight, we took a right a right and went to the other side of the road because we'd have to cross it soon because our school was down the street from that corner. So as we kept walking straight on the left sidewalk, he kept walking straight on the right sidewalk, and we thought that was odd since he had a lot of food that he'd just ordered and didn't really eat. Desire thought he was following us, which made both of us laugh (at this point Amber and her boyfriend had already ditched us when we left the shop). We were still walking straight and so was he till he walked into a parking lot, but we kept going straight because we had to head back to school for an art show. So we thought he must've been getting his car or something and clearly not following us BUT, then as he was a few feet into the lot, my friend Desire said he turned around and walked out, and back in the direction we were walking in. We stopped at a stop light and waited till it turned red, and at this point he'd stop too since it was red, but he walked across the street and was now right behind us again. And I mean like a couple feet away. Now, we crossed when it turned green, took a left and proceeded to get to school as planned. He went the same way. We kept walking until we reached the school and crossed the street and walked along the side and were about to get in the school when we saw him still across the street but instead he kept walking and took a turn. Then we couldn't see him anymore. We stayed inside for a while to cool off then went to the 7Eleven across the street from our school to get drinks and there he was. Paying for food. And we both were thought what the hell. Not that it bothered us, but we thought it was weird how he stopped eating all that food at the shop just to go to a convenience store far from the shop for more food.
That's the epic journey we had. We didn't think it was creepy at all since he was a cute guy and it didn't bother us at all that he seemed to be following us all the way over there. One of our art teachers of course told us we still had to be careful when walking around downtown because there's weird people. But we were fine so all is good.
Oh, and Desire and I also talked quite loudly (on purpose) while walking back to school about how we were going back to the shop tomorrow. We'll see what happens on tomorrow's trip!

Lost

Sooooo.. Remember the bag I bought online? Well it got lost in the mail! (T o T) And they couldn't send another apparently, but I could choose a different one that they'd ship to me. I picked another of course since I'm in desperate need of a new bag.

Hair Dye


My sister dyed my hair last night! She dyed it dark auburn, but since my hair is naturally dark so it isn't very noticeable in photos. (T o T)

Makeup Works Wonders

The change is so big isn't it! Makeup surely does work wonders. She makes me want to try harder on how I put on my makeup!

Book Beads


I was planning on making those book beads today, but it completely slipped my mind to get a hole puncher with a design today when I went out to a few stores.
I've got a bit of a cold too so that didn't help with remembering what I needed.

Crafty Projects

It's past midnight and I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd go looking around CutOutAndKeep.net for some nice projects I could work on during my spring break as I also work on my art projects. The first one is book beads. They look really cute and it's also recycling old books you never read or ever wanted to read! I know I've got some Twilight books I've got to recycle since personally I don't like the books. I'll try this one out first after I get some nice sleep!
The second how-to I found on CutOutAndKeep.net is how to make a lolita skirt! The one she made is really cute! I want to make one as well but of course the fabric design will be different from hers. Hopefully I can get to the fabric store this week to find some nice fabric for it!

And that's all for tonight gals! Time for me to get off to bed!

Contact Lense~






I'm thinking of ordering new contact lenses since I've worn some already but not any that were 14mm. I'm ordering these from HoneyColor.com I've heard good things from this website so I'm going to give it a try myself!
Here are some photos of my phone case that I decorated a while back!



It's a bit messy since it was my first time at doing something like that. I want to do more! It was fun even though it took some hours and my finger tips were covered in super glue! (^ ^;)
