I used to think I was above falling for those stupid 'happily ever after' endings.
Turns out I'm not immune.
I swear, throughout the entire ending, I kept holding my breathe because I keep expecting him to have moved on already. She left everything, including her dream job to move to New York for him. The entire time I kept thinking, how stupid can you be?! I don't know... maybe I changed my mind.

It's just too much...
Haven't been very good about updating my blog. Just too much happens all at the same time, and it just passes me by. First day of work tomorrow and all I can think about is which camera to get...
I am deciding to either get a Holga or a Diana F+.
Holga is cheaper on all levels, and was what made me look into the whole toy camera thing to begin with. It's known for quality, been on the market longer.
Diana+ on the other hand looks cuter (the Snowcat for example made me want to get one that is way overpriced cuz LIMITED EDITION! See below.) and plus for some reason I can't put my finger on, just attracts me more and looks more stylish in my opinion. However, the accessories that I think are must haves, are way more expensive than that or the Holga.
The Diana Snowcat in all its beauty-ness.
Other things I have to consider is of course, which film I should use. 120 or 35mm. 120 film I would actually have to go to an actual film developing place, whereas 35mm I can just be a cheapass and go to Costco and make my mom print them.. However, that is why I'm planning on getting a 120, since there are 35mm film adapters, where as, u cant really go the other way around.
I am so confused! Cameras trumps purses and shoes at the moment. School has made me become repelled by fashion. Save me.

- buy the kit with flash, or not flash (or delux!)
- mini or not
- what kind of film (120 or 35mm)
- special edition or classic black

New Machine... Sorta...?
Just yesterday night, the night before my politics exam, my Macbook's hard-drive died on me. At first I was devastated to see the "white screen of death" up-close and in person, until something brilliant happened. In the middle of the night, I had to use my long forgotten PC and make an appointment for see a Mac Genius at the GeniusBar. When I got there the next day, I was surrounded by hordes of people lining up to get iPads after iPads, then iMacs after iMacs. Was I jealous? Hell yea! (Not for the iPads though, but that they have money to not buy one, but in a lot of cases, two iPads!)
On the side note, what I really wanted to share today was this new user I found on deviant art, with the most brilliant wallpapers. I have to say, I'm really picky about what wallpaper I use, but these wallpapers however took my breath away. Simple and Clean, yet nicely designed just like how they're supposed to be. I'm also going to try out their icons. I have my eye on the wooden crate looking ones. Go check them out: Pixartica. Awesome.
It was a long wait before I got to the counter. That was when they told my my iCare was just over! I was ready to faint until the nice man behind the counter told me that he would make an exception for me, How nice! I was prepared to leave my precious Macbook behind for a day or two, until more good news! The Genius told me that he would just grab a hard-drive from the back and change it right away. So he went behind the store, and I was just about to remind him that he left my Macbook on the counter, until I realized he was going to change it right then and there infront of me! So after two screws (as in those metal things u assemble things with, get ur minds out of the gutter! I wasn't that grateful!) my Macbook was ready to go! Notice how I used so many exclamation marks at the end of my sentences? I was really excited.
As me and my hubby headed home, I was joking to him how, oh, my hard-drive was so old, they probably didn't have the OS I had installed on there. All jokes and games until... I turned on my hard-drive. I saw the dock and I soon realized that I actually got an upgrade to my operating system for free! I guess my hard-drive really was old. Mind you, it was only Leopard, and not Snow Leopard, but you have to keep in mind that my OS was the Tiger OS and I was already one and a half (half being what i considered Snow Leopard to be) behind. Plus, Lion is about to come out soon, so I was really out of the loop. Nonetheless I was happy. What a brilliant and bright day.

They're like, Peas in a Pod.
This is going to be a short entry, but Toy Story 3 came out with a new toy, and it is by far the cutest toy ever!
They're three peas in a pod, and they come in a pencil case-like felt container. The coolest part however, would be they actually fully come out! When I first realized Disney was selling them, all the stores that was within driving distance was sold out. I was bummed out until my friend bought two for us (me and my boyfriend!) Haha, just too cool to not share about it. Anyways, going to go juggle them now!

The Angels Have Landed
The Angels have landed at Eaton Centre today for the opening of the new Victoria's Secret, and it was a BIG DEAL! Why? Well not that I experienced it for myself, but apparently they actually had helicopters land on the roof of Eaton Centre. Too bad I missed it. But it was such a big deal, that this happened:
There were actually a crowd watching the crowd LOL But since the tote bag is supposed to be limited edition I had to get it haha too bad I'm not really into the plastic material though. Here are pictures of it, the bow is actually pretty cute though...
In the tote bag, it actually came with free samples of things, a lipgloss, a thong (again, just like in the tote bag that we got when lining up to go into the store), body spray (which iw as about to buy) and this body lotion that I didn't really even like the scent of...
More beauty stuff I got. I rather not go into the lingerie stuff I got, but these are the items I got that are not underwear stuff:
Also, apparently if you qualified to get the tote bag, you also qualified to take a picture with one of the two "angels" that landed. Too bad you have to wait in line again. I was in my heels today that were killing me and giving me blisters, as well, I didn't have the patience to wait until 5 o'clock so I gave up on that. Oh well, too bad. Maybe I can be an angel one day... haha, yea right.

Update on website
As it turns out, the pages of my agenda were sticking together and the storyboard deadline is actually one more week away! You have no idea how relieved I am, there was no way any of that would have been finished in time. Anyways, so I have the main character/ mascot for my site basically complete, although i always can make some more refinements...
Here is a sneak peak :)

This is actually cut out from one of my pages that I have so far. Where, I would not say now, but when it is finished you shall all see :) I have the basic template setup already, but there are still some minor details here and there to be fixed and figured out. My main final intention however, is after that is done with, to incorporate that site with this blog... somehow... We'll see how that goes.
It's been an extremely extremely long week. Two midterms and superlong classes. I'm glad this week is over. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, my week ends on Thursday nights haha. And please don't go hatin' because I do work my ass off on Fridays at home too, just no commute time need. Thank goodness for that.
On a side note however, I have a question. Does iMovie not have a recording function, or does it just for some reason not detect my webcam? When I have more braincells/brainpower I will try to figure that out. When I do, it's gonna be a treat for sure!

Bean Website
Once again I am in the place of designing/ laying out the storyboard for the new site. It has proved to be a pain in the butt. I think my problem is just over thinking.
I hate design: when thinking too much is a crime!
And having said that, I have a literary research methods exam in a few hours.
Now I have to put my thinking cap back on... see you all on the other side!
