valentines day, seriously.

I don't normally celebrate valentines day. Because to me, it seems like a holiday concocted for the sole purpose of wasting time and money on flowers with limited life span and hallmark cards that no one will ever recycle. It's not even a proper holiday! You don't get time off work or anything!

I've never celebrated valentines day before. Ever. It probably sounds like i'm bitter, but i just seriously dont see what the fuss is about.

Well, this year was different. Since it was chinese new year on the 14th my valentines date was postponed to the 16th.

Cheap thai food. Movies. Luvos. The rocks. Pancakes. Bunnies. Ice cream. It was a good day.

Watching 'valentines day' in gold class was the biggest surprise! Thanks for taking me, pooface! It was my first time and was fully in awe.. It was so cool! I kept playing with the seats cause they're adjustable to go up and down! Couldn't stop fidling with it, the buttons were too convienently placed haha.The movie was really cute though! Love taylor swift in it, haha what a dud.

Highlight food of the day was ice cream. Hands down. Cookies and cream and macadamian and honeycomb. Yum. Everything else we ate was pretty fail. Thai tasted pretty average, because as pooface puts it 'nothing compares to chat thai'. Even pancakes didn't taste as good as normal! We've decided ribs are better at darling harbour. Ahh well, Atleast i had good company hehe.

Despite the food, it was a really good day. Couldn't have asked for a better valentines day.
Love you, pooface <3

i'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world.

I remember just a few years ago I was laughing and dissing people who I felt cared too much about their appearances. Girls who, spent hours on their makeup, took a week to plan their outfits and wasted saliva going on and on about what they'd like to change about their appearances. Back then, I didn't understand the hype. To me, these people were materialistic and superficial. I felt like they were wasting time and unnecessarily conforming to society's judgement. I also believed people could only be born pretty. (So wrong! Makeup!)

Ironically, I am now one of those silly girls who won't leave the house without atleast some concealer and powder on. I don't know when i started to care about my appearance. But I realised once I started, everything changed. Peers started to respect me, the teasing stopped, I started attracting attention, and instantly I felt everyone's attitude towards me change. Even I felt like I liked myself a little more.

I hate how I felt like I needed to be prettier to be accepted, but to an extent, it's true and fuck, I hate our generation for that. Our biased bullshit views might not have started with our gen, but it's definetely gotten stronger. In Mookie's gen, makeup was for rare occassion's but in our's, no makeup IS the 'rare occassion'. These days, presentation is everything. I once got a warning for being 'unappropriately dressed' at work. I was wearing tshirt and jeans. Like, seriously.

...Got distracted by TV so I've kinda lost my point. But I just saw some woman on TV, she broke her nose and OD'd on botox, causing one eye to droop. She fully messed up her face and it was so scary T_T!
