~Sometimes~

 

Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.

But all the same, I give you this piece of my once broken heart.

There is no way I will ever give up.

~Maybe This Summer~

As Patrizio Buanne famously puts it,

"I'll find the one who'll still be mine when leaves begin to fall"

~Self Hair Dye Experience~

  

So the story is like this.

Mom hates blondish-brown hair colour.

Mom buys new hair dye.

I have to dye hair by end of the week.

 

 Last picture with beautiful blonde hair.

*sobs*

  

 Here I am, all prepped for the dye session.

  

The dye comes with simple enough instructions.

 Just pour the solution into the developer.

 Pop the cap on.

 The solution turns brown.

 

 Shake it gently from side to side and it turns dark brown.

(By the time I got to this stage I knew I was going to regret dyeing my hair back.)

 Putting on ze gloves. I feel like an evil mad scientist.

 The solution comes out in the form of foam.

 I seriously couldn't be bothered putting it on dollop by dollop so I squeezed out the whole bottle and used it like a shampoo.

(Which ironically was what you were supposed to do anyways)

P.S. Everytime I shampoo my hair like this, it reminds me of some failed attempt at weird bridal hair styling. Epic fail.

Half and hour later...

My hair colour had turned from gorgeous light blondish brown to dark murky brown.

Final Verdict:

Mom loved it.

I hated it.

End of story.

Even though I preferred the previous colour, you can't deny that Loreal Sublime Mousse is easy to use and super duper awesome for an absolute noob like me.

~Biased Georgian Flair~

 When it comes to designing dresses, I'm a sucker for Georgian gowns.

(See if you can spot me in this picture!)

There's me in the Hall of Fame!

~Home Is Where The Heart Is~

Been traveling and hotel hopping for the past 1 1/2 months.

It's times like these where I wish I could return to a place of my own.

A place called home.

~All That Really Matters~

Because I have Lucas, and sometimes, it's all that really matters.

~A New Day, A New Beginning~

 Erase the Past. Embrace the Future.

It has always been a habit of mine to delete my old blog and create a new one each time I move on to a new phase of my life. It's not that I'm not fond of the old memories and posts, it's just that retaining everything in the past really hinders one's progress of moving on with life.

I believe life has robbed me of my innocence and what is left of it. The people I trusted in tore my heart apart and treated me disrespectfully to say the very least. They stomped on my feelings as if I had none and were cold hearted creatures with no sense of guilt or morals in life. As if I was some unwanted stray cat, best kicked over the wall and to be seen nevermore. Sacrifices I made didn't mean a thing which makes me wonder sometimes, why was I ever that stupid to have believed them before?

I find it hard to trust people, I really do. I know it isn't right to doubt and doubt hurts the ones who care about you. But after being lied to, made use of, and cheated on for countless of times, it's only natural to raise your guard against everyone around you. Because believe me, nothing hurts more than betrayal.

I will never deny the fact that people are constantly changing, be it for the better or the worse. I've seen so many people transform 180 degrees. Shedding their previous beliefs and morals, they choose instead to embrace greed, envy, lies, and to hurt those around them for their own selfish gains. They choose to let evil consume their good nature. They choose to ignore everything that's right and pursue everything that's not. They act without consideration of others thoughts and feelings. They think that the world is under their feet and life should be lived by doing everything they 'feel' is right.

It's difficult to forgive people who have wronged you in the past. So I choose instead to forget. If they want to act as if I never existed, then they too, shall possess no privilege of remaining in my heart and my mind.

From today onwards, I shall bid Au Revoir to the gruesome past and all the tears I've shed, sleepless nights I've had and love I gave.

Because some people just aren't worth the pain.

Despite everything that has happened in the past, I'm actually glad that God has bestowed upon me the various challenges, failures and heartbreaks because I've grown to be much stronger and mature than I was previously be it physically or mentally.

On a brighter side, I've finally graduated!

(Not like it really means anything though. I will probably have a few more graduation ceremonies in the coming years. Crossing my fingers!)

Here's to a great year ahead! 

:)
