Fooling Around with Some Nail Art

Edited with PhotoWonderOne of the best things about my Fall semester is that I don't have school on Thursdays. Which means more personal time to relax and just forget about school stress for a little bit. Since it's November now, snow has already greeted my city. It happens so that today is one of those heavy snowfall days. Well, because of heavy snow, being a bear I am, I decided to "hibernate" in my house. With midterms over, I don't have much to study for, and well I didn't feel like cracking open my textbooks and notes anyways. So I started to fool around with my nails and I painted them, trying out some newbie nail art. On cold days like this I like to just relax and have fun while I full blast Korean dramas and have tea. What do you like to do when you're at home alone and simply have nothing to do?

Have a wonderful evening!

New Instrument, backpack, Gloves, Boots!



 Since school began, I really had little time to update this blog. But well since all midterms have ended and it's kind of the freebie period of the semester, I think I will update a little bit on some of the things that happened over the past 2 months! I think one thing that is really worth celebrating is how school is going quite well at the moment, my midterm exams came back with good marks. But of course, I am hoping to do even better!

Other things that changed? Over the past two months I had been researching where to take music lessons for Guzheng or "Chinese Zither" and after weeks and weeks of researching, I finally found myself a teacher. I just started learning last week so the whole getting back into practicing 1-2 hours everynight for an instrument is still pretty awkward for me but I am really enjoying it at the moment.

How shall I say this, with work comes spending money. I'd really like to knock the habit off but well I went on another shopping spree again. Recently, I got really into backpack styles and the Herschel backpacks had the kind of "hallyu" kind of feeling to it-- its like the ones characters would wear in a Korean drama... and so well I got myself one last week! I've just started using it and I am loving it so far. In terms of durability, it's not too much on the strong side. But it's definitely a fashion item added to my wardrobe.  I am not sure if anyone of you are a fan of the Aritzia gloves but I am. I love the soft fleece lining and the knitted style it really keeps my hands warm during the cold winter weather. I got myself a pair of mint green ones :) MY FAVORITE COLOUR!

One more thing to add to my major spending list would be my awesome leather boots. I am definitely not a fashionista and I can't really wear high heel boots. So when I got to Winners looking at their sales, I found myself an amazing pair of Rock Port boots with upper genuine leather and a small high heal. So well I can kind of satisfy my "heeled boots" crave. I love shopping at winners because you can really get great deals. And of course, lastly I got some really nice 14k gold crystal earrings (studs) from there. It's the kind with the sparkling crystal ball type, these one came in a box of three for $60 dollars CAD.  :) Liking them so far!

I love shopping for things, especially when they're at good deals!

Well that is all for now, in the meantime, check out my updated pages for new recipes and faith sharing!

Toodles!

First Day of Classes!

My study/blogging space.
A new beginning, a new start! This new school year has been a little different for me since I have transferred into another school. Though I am still working hard to my ultimate goal, I feel a lot closer to it. 2 years ago, after some rather harsh experiences, I felt like my dreams were being pushed back/away. However, after much courage and hardwork, I am continuing to work towards my dream.

Coming from a smaller University, going into a larger one kind of gave me a tiny bit of 'cultural shock'. I went from the quite,and fewer students, quiet halls, small sized classes to a school packed with students, noise, celebration, to large lecture halls and high tech buildings. First thing on my mind: WOW! My first day was adventurous, really, from going to school super early hoping to get a study spot in the library, to getting help from a very kind gentlemen (who works at the University) finding my lecture hall etc. The best part? I met with a lot of my old friends whom I met from High School. I don't have much to wish for but only one thing. TO DO SUPER WELL this year. I hope to brush away the stress and pains I experienced two years ago and start a new. To all visitors who are students like me... work hard, stay on task, and well don't forget to squeeze a bit of fun into your life! Let's all work hard towards our goals! As I learned in Japanese last year: 頑張ってください!

P.S. Today, I recieved a cute little gift from my student I have taught for 5 years of piano! A little red chameleon! AWWWW! For my first day of school too!!!

Best wishes!
