Was really low today, I won't go into the details.
But anyway, because of that, what did I do?
Impulse shopped.
Properly, for the first time in my life.
Since I had $85 at hand, why not, right?
And since I was at Orchard, well heck it!
In the end I got myself 2 albums from HMV, and a necklace and ring from Orchard Central Market.
Spent $63 today - that's the most I've spent in 2 hours ever.
But omg so satisfying. So, SO satisfying.
I regret nothing.
So now I have Drake and deluxe edition of Nicki Minaj.
:))
I was so happy.
I am so happy.
Shopping makes me really happy.
Can you say 'shopaholic'?
Aiyah.
Another great thing that happened to me this week is when my A-Math teacher looked up at me from my work and said, "Good job, you're improving!" and smiled.
'Upon my word,' he said faintly to Mr Carmicheal, when it was suggested that the little girl should go into another room, 'I feel as if I do not want to lose sight of her.'
Then Mrs Carmicheal came in. She looked very much moved, and suddenly took Sara in her arms and kissed her.
'You look bewildered, poor child,' she said. 'And it is not to be wondered at.'
Mrs Carmicheal was crying as she kissed her again. She felt as if she ought to be kissed very often because she had not been kissed for so long.
Excerpt of the weekend!
Oh God I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to lose you again.

“She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful.” — Neil Gaiman
Something about that quote is amazingly gorgeous.
I think friendship is all about the connection between people.
A friend can be as different as anything, but if there's no connection, there's no point.
When you are really, completely close to someone, when you talk to them, it would be like a soul talking to a soul, right?
You don't give a damn how that person looks.
I mean, you know them so well it feels like you see past their physical being when you're conversing, and you are more connecting with the soul, and you're so used to it anyway.
Not like when you are speaking to someone you are uncomfortable with - that's more like a body communicating with another.
Get my drift?
I don't, well, I was just thinking about this.
So incoherent.
Thanks for helping me out today, everyone who did.
I call it karma. Right now I'm at the A&E section of the hospital. For freaking falling and injuring my left leg. Ok, fine it happened because I was gonna playkick my sister, but it went wrong, so. -.- I can't straighten my leg, I can't bend it so much, and it's swelling loads. Trust me to get into this kind mess one day before bio SPA. Holy crap. This is gonna ruin my week, I'm gonna miss out on so much. Ah heck, it was my fault so I gotta face it. Kinda mad at myself but what's done is done. ): Oh no. How to shower and sleep and do basic things humans have to do?!?! FML.
Not clean clean because that would be BS; almost everything is so dirty explicit.
But it is such beautiful music because it sounds so stripped.
When the voice is accompanied only with that one simple bass and beat, you feel as if all the feelings presented are raw as anything, like this bloody mess of a still-pulsating heart on a golden tray.
And the fear, confusion, loathing, love, lust all mix and meld into one but you just get it anyway.
With every pound of the beat you feel as if the music is coursing through your being and you feel like convulsing there and then because everything just overwhelms you, but you can only close your eyes and let it control your thoughts and mind.
And it gets better with headphones on max volume.
I guess I just feel a connection with rap.
Not everyone does, so. :)
That above is just really how rap looks like to me.
Starting from tomorrow it would be, and it would stay that way for the next 8 days.
Unfortunately.
Well anyway, rants are rants and they have to be let out.
This whole week, without a single doubt, the most amazing thing I've had to listen to was that 'boys who pierce their ears are ugly'.
You wanna know why?
Because 'it shows they are rebellious and rebellious people are ugly on the inside, so they must be ugly on the outside no matter what'.
Well you know what?
Screw you.
For being so narrow-minded, and generalising people like that.
And not seeing the beauty in everything.
So sad to say but it's people like you that make the world ugly.
The power of this ugliness is freakishly beautiful, but whatever.
That's not the point!
The point is, that you said that, and you don't even fucking know him!
You don't watch their vlogs, you don't try to see his good attributes which you just wave away because he pierced his ears.
He pierced his ears, so he is a rebel.
He is a rebel, so he is ugly.
Come on, nigga, is you trickin or what?
I incessantly swear in my head so I am always rude.
My sister is in a neighbourhood school so she must be a stupid minah.
Girls with short skirts and ankle socks and pink bags are bimbos.
People who cut are just plain dumb.
Many rappers broke laws before so they're completely horrible role models?
So, is that what you think too?
Huh?
Huh?
So it's a rebellion.
To what?
Rebellion to a strictly gender-role society which in reality does not half-exist anymore?
Defiance to religion?
What?
What exactly?
Can you explain that??
What's wrong with it actually?
Do you really want this perfectly law-abiding community?
Where's the fun?
The thrill?
What the hell will life be about if all it preaches is to be compliant to rules, to not experiment with what there is, to not make shit mistakes you'll regret later?
Really, really?
Do you really want that?
That's total BS.
I hate that and so I will never follow that.
My life is boring, ok.
It is mundane and so..urgh.
Time to time, I do break school rules.
But subtly, and not in such an obvious way that it leads to a booking.
I don't know why really, it is just really a guilty pleasure.
You know you're doing something you are forbidden to -- that feeling is incredible.
My limits for breaking rules is that it must never compromise on anyone but myself.
I deal with the consequences of my actions.
Ok ok, back to topic.
Guys piercing their ears -- nothing wrong with that yo.
No one's getting killed for that.
I like guys who do that and can still pull the look off.
That's just too cute.
Can people just be less uptight about everything?
Can't you just have fun with your life and stop being so obsessed with shit?
Loosen up, for god's sake please!
Break rules and don't get caught.
Do something reckless.
Be a bitch.
Someone calm, cool, collected is always amazing.
I really still don't get how a rebel is an ugly person.
I guess he just found a way to live his life.
Don't have to find problems with that.
So yes, don't be so straight.
Be open-minded, please?
I hate judgemental attitudes too.
Why can't they just see from both perspectives, right?
):
It's like the only person I could fully tolerate for the past week was Farah.
Bless her soul, really.
She was like an angel.
Thank god I could rant to her about stuff and stuff.
And how she got me was brilliant.
She's amazing, I can talk to her about anything and not be judged or whatever.
I don't know, it is so easy to talk to her about some things.
She just has this attitude that I like, ok?
So unlike the detrimental ones of some people, the ones that confine me into myself and force me to bite my tongue, hold my horses.
Because it might have been controversial, what I wanted to speak about.
):
This is not hating on anyone, it's just me venting out my frustration.
Ok? Don't be mad..
If you know whoever was involved in this post, don't meddle, I plead.
Just read, understand, and keep it in.
I read Nicolette's blog too and she wrote about how she hated people looking in her notebook.
I totally understand how she feels.
My (amazing) planner is actually really filled with expletives.
It's not that I am thinking in curse, it's just that on every day in the planner, there is almost always a line from a song that expresses perfectly my mood for that day.
And if that line happens to be an explicit one from a rap, then so be it.
I just write it down because I had already decided I can write whatever the hell I want in my planner.
And I have this whole section reserved for Nicki quotes.
Some people cringe when they find that page because well..
Don't get offended if you decide you want to see my planner k!
Or think that I'm some shallow bitch.
Because that would suck.
Today I went to Orchard Central after the long day with the fam.
It was an unexpected outing and they only told me after I was done with French, when I was wishing only for a nice long rest at home.
I was irritated.
Anyway, I did something fun at the OC.
It was amazingly childish and such a lovable experience.
And I only did it because the place was almost deserted.
Anis and I, we kinda played catching in the mall, went up and down the many glass elevators, visited shops for no reason, pretended we were royalty descending staircases, hid and sought near escalators.
You get me.
It was amazing.
I wish I could do that with my friends, but they would never.
Anis played catching at Northpoint with her friends before -- I am jealous.
):
That's it.
That's what I wanted to get off my chest.
Tomorrow marks the start of a long, excruciating week so goodnight!
