I finally launched my online shop which sells handmade accessories by yours truly. Thank God I broke even with my sales. I'm definitely enjoying making the necklaces, especially when I get good feedback from my customers. I try to make different things for different people, because not everyone has the same style, obviously.
The shop was initially called The Indie Shop, but I figured it was too obvious. So it became Rococo which is a style of decoration in France. I just thought it was very catchy and somehow depicted the way I worked, only with a modern twist.
I guess I should cross this one out on my Bum's To Do List.
1) I'm sick but I feel fine but not quite. I cough and have a fever, and my voice is strangely sultry to my ears but I feel good.
2) I am waiting. I don't even care if it arrives or not. I'm waiting.
3) Boy Bawang has adobo flavour. For some reason it also has "garlic" flavour. That's like chips having 'potato' flavour.
4) I kissed a girl and I did like it. What an oddly catchy song. So why do I feel kinda lame when I'm singing it?
5) It's been a year of firsts for me. Or rather re-firsts.
6) My fear of sharks continues unabated. Some call it insanity, I call it practicality. Just because you haven't seen a shark in your bathtub doesn't mean there aren't dozens of them there.
7) *shivers*
8) You know, I haven't heard the birds in a while. I hope they're okay.
9) Okay, no I don't.
10) Things get in the way. But things are the things that make the way, and what you want is a thing too. Don't be bad to things.
You wear, your hair like it's your best accessory and I don't want to ever have to compete with that I know, you'd be nothing but excessively sweet cherish me, sing to me, love me
but I can't belong to anybody else right now though it is not much of an excuse i can't belong to anybody else when I've got so much figuring out to do
I don't want to be a girlfriend I don't want to talk about my feelings yea I don't wanna be some girlfriend I don't wanna have to explain what I'm thinking
I go, alone to watch stupid romance movies and I sit, wishing it was your arms wrapped around me and I just deny that all i want is a piece of you but I guess it's true don't want to talk on the phone don't want attachments, don't wanna be your girlfriend..
I just can't belong to anybody else right now though it is not much of an excuse I can't belong to anybody else when I've got so much figuring out to do
I don't wanna be a girlfriend I don't wanna talk about my feelings yea I don't wanna be a girlfriend I don't wanna have to explain what i'm thinking
is it wrong for me to want you just for a day? i don't want to be that kind of girl but i can't help myself
Uh, this song is nice. Don't worry, it doesn't apply to me... I think. Million "Haha"s
RANDOM: People are so weird.
School will start soon, I'm not enthralled about it. I just wanna lay down my bed and sleep. Gah.
Stop texting Me.
I need to start reading and writing my essays.
I need MOTIVATION, not DISTRACTION;
C'mon Daryl wake up! HAHA
All week I've become a BUM. A BUM supplied with food 24/7, a bed to sleep on, and a bathroom to pee on.
...shopping with my mom and sis. I still have a few minutes to decide. We're planning to buy a treadmill since all of us obviously need to lose a lot of weight.
Other than the fat-burning machine I'm also contemplating on buying some make-up as I am updating my beauty arsenal. I already bought a new lipstick, the Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Mousse Lipstick in Delicate Pink, which I am sooo loving (I also ordered one in Mango Sorbet), and now I'm planning to buy a new eyeshadow pallet, blusher, clear mascara, a good concealer, eyelash curler, brown eyeliner, Maybelline pressed powder....
haha! Ang dami pala. Kaya rin nagdadalawang-isip ako kung sasama dahil baka maubos lang pera ko sa make-up. On top of these I am also tempted to buy an iPod. Hay. Then there's the endless list of grocery items that we NEED to buy.
Hmpft. Bahala na. Sasama na nga ako to test narin king mare-resist ko ang urge na bilhin ang mga ito.
I JUST found out that Twlight the movie is going to be realesed three weeks earlier on November 21! OMG, I am sooo excited. I was worried about the December 12 release date because my sister and I are leaving for the Philippines on December 13th. I am SO excited that I get to see it now! Hopefully, Sarah and I can go to the midnight premiere of it. Frick yeaaah.
Alright, anywaaays. Emily turned 18 two days again. It was an inteeense day. Parkway for boba, Grossmont to chill, Olive Garden for lunch, my house
to get Emily's present, Emily's house to eat cake, Fashion Valley to to look at Betsey Johnson and Tarina Tarantino jewelry, Mission Valley to get our ears pierced, Coronado to take pictures, and the Coronado naval base Lowry Theater to
see Get Smart. OMG, that movie was freaking hilarious.
Yesterday, after I hung around Katie's house as she helped Jeff dye his hair "blue black," Emily and I went into Sycuan for the first time ever and my mom paid for our lunch. We didn't gamble or anything though. Afterwards, Emily came with me to Mission Valley again so I could get my third ear piercing. We went shopping for a little bit and blasted "All Out Of Love" by Keira Green on our way home. Blasting that song still hasn't gotten old, ahaha. I'm actually listening to it right now :]
My grandma is coming home from the Philippines sometime soon. I thought she was suposed to come home today, but I guess not? Whatevs.
I have about 5 weeks left before I move into the dorms at Irvine. Kiinda nervous, but mostly excited.
On Monday, Emily and I and hopefully both Mariam and Wes are going to visit the yearbookers and G during Yearbook. It'll be just like old times. I hope I still have my username on the computers. If not, then what music is Mallory going to blast through all of Yearbook? Ahahaha, I kiddd.
So I had an interview at noon today in downtown Toronto. Lovely area, very cool and I guess hip.
I did my scouting beforehand on Google maps and of course I still got lost as soon as I stepped out of the King subway station. Didn't matter though as my tummy was a rumbling, so I had to look around to make a deposit. Lo and behold there was a CIBC at the corner... about the only time I found one when I kinda needed it. (They had a food court at the bottom.)
Did you know that there's an "undermall" of sorts underneath downtown? I was lost in this labyrinth of commerce and followed the scent of food so I could find a toilet. Makes sense. I also approve of those toilets, not those weak little Enviro-Friendly loos but some good ol' fashioned (but new with those laser sensors) gallon chuggers.
Thankfully I exited randomly from that place onto the street I needed to be at.
Again I arrived early for the interview wearing my lucky (perhaps not so lucky) yellow shirt. They were very serious looking men, in their grays and browns but the nice lady wore yellow and pink. So I kinda threw them off with my gray suit and yellow shirt outfit.
The interview went well I guess. It lasted around 10 minutes from my guess, been through some that lasted an hour or so.
Walked on and called my mom, we met up for lunch downstairs from her work (big cool place) in another part of this "undermall". Had greek lamb and tried that Vitao green tea which was kinda good. The lamb was just... greeky.
Then we walked around some more, of course my mom would know her way around these shopping caverns, and then we bought some chicken for dinner which I have been lugging for the last few hours. Had to go off on my own and walked to Eaton Centre.
Yep, just go straight this way and you'll exit at The Bay. Then just go inside Eaton's.
No less than 15 metres from where we left I took a wrong turn. How do I know? Because I was outside. As in the sun and everything. Not supposed to be. No, no, no. So I went back in, feeling sheepish and followed the people. But not too closely lest they smell my chicken.
Then I spent a good 15 more minutes looking for the Games Workshop in Eaton's. They've closed down or moved or or whatever, got replaced by this health foods store. Pfft. In retaliation for this injustice I went to Indigo's and bought a book there.
I believe I can now build a bookshelf made out of books and still have enough books to put in there. Of course they wouldn't be in alphabetical order.
My name is Dee Flores. I live in Ontario, Canada. I am a University of Toronto student, taking Visual Culture and Communication. I am working my way to be a (Plan A) designer, or (Plan B) high school communications technology teacher. Yeah, in a few years. -_-''
