old tendencies

yesterday, i was completely out of my element. my mood was just down to my ankles and i wanted to clam up. so i did. after class, i rode the train to our nearest city and just walked. i didn't really know where i wanted to go, but i ended up at a local supermarket, and i ended up going up and down the asiles for almost an hour and a half. i didn't notice it while i was doing it, but afterwards when i caught the train back to school, i felt so OLD. why the fack was i grocery shopping when i wasn't happy?? where the heck did that come from...that's what my mother does! so then i started to wonder what else i do thats supposedly beyond my age---and the results were quite frightening, to me at least.

1. like i noted before, i like to grocery shop when i get a little down. for some odd reason, it relieves my tensions. i dont have to buy anything but looking at the products makes me a little happier, but usually i end up buying food that i don't normally need. swimming used to do it for me, but now a pool is not readily available.

2. i have the urge to do full out cleaning once in a while when i have nothing else to do. i will literally go from one side of my dorm room to the other, cleaning it, which would mean wiping the drawers with sanitary wipes, vacuuming, and cleaning my sheets. when i used to have nothing to do, i used to watch tv. but now thats not as satisfying as cleaning my room until it smells like oranges.

3. i love baking when im home on the weekends. i will make a ridiculous amount of baked goods that i know no one will finish, but that doesn't stop me. i will make cakes, cupcakes, cookies, rainbow cakes, whatever, and after making it i usually don't end up eating it. i just like displaying it and watching other people eat it. before at home on the weekends, i'd go ride my bike, fix my stories, go shopping, paint my nails...but now...not so much.

4. i cut out recipes in magazines but i never cook them. i just like to collect them. i don't know why i do it, but whenever i go through any magazine and i see a recipe, i'll automatically cut it out if it sounds like something i'd eat. i also have a tendency to cut out designs that i'd like to see in my future home. who knows, maybe i'm nesting.


i'm going to stop at 4 because ya'll are probably already making fun of me. so you can just sit pretty.

bathroom woes

i was in the bathroom the other day after i had watched a movie with a friend and i was getting myself nice and situated on the toilet and i reach over to grab some toilet paper and i get maybe two squares before it breaks. so i go back and try again and this time, i get one square and then i start getting annoyed. by the time it was my fifth time trying to pull the damn toilet paper out, i was coaxing it to come out...you know, pulling it out very slowly and feigning patience as my butt hangs to dry. by now i probably dont need the toilet paper. but WHAT IF the toilet paper never came out, or it ran out?? im sure there were times when you girls have just dashed into a stall and started to pee without looking over to see if there was toilet paper. then what happens?

well, i've heard of these tales before, but i've never actually done it myself, BUT ONE. and you can guess which one, cuz i ain't tellin you which one.


socks
they say that if you're seriously desperate, then you need to take off a sock [or maybe both, depending on your situation] and use it like napkins. you better pray to god that you wore clean socks that day if you ever decide to do that...


eye glass wipes
the dry cloths...im not talking about the ones lined with alcoholic cleaning stuff. can you imagine?! after that you wouldn't be only having toilet paper issues...


tampons/pads
only if you happen to be that lucky to have a spare lying in your purse somewhere, but really, if you were that lucky, then you would have had toilet paper


butt hang
this one just calls for you to sit there for like, fifteen minutes and let it air dry. simple, sanitary, but just a tad embarrassing if there's people outside waiting for your stall because you're not exactly doing number two either: "sorry! im waiting for my pee to dry!" 


post-its
people carry these around and surprisingly, paper is a good soaker-upper. granted it'll take a couple of swipes, but you'll get there. just remember not to use the sticky side.


im telling you, going abroad as a foreigner teaches you many things, and one of those things is to bring your own tissues. in hong kong, they don't give you napkins so you bring your own. depending on the toilet and the place the toilet is located, they'll have tissue, but mostly, they won't. so you bring your own. i've learned that much...however, there was this one time i had menthol nose tissues with me...it felt breezy, not gonna lie.

caught in the act!

ever stand next to someone for a picture and not know what to do? it really irks me when those digital cameras take forever to take that picture even after you've hit that button. when i'm standing that close to someone and we're both holding some sort of pose, i am always conscious of what i'm doing or what the other person is doing. and then i notice our breathing patterns and then thats when i kind of stop breathing and my smile freezes and it ends up looking real fake. sometimes i just want to turn to the other person beside me and blow in their face. but the most awkward thing about that situation is that you can't really move. you're forced to stay in that position! its almost as if the camera is playing with your head. just as soon as you move because you think you still have a second, it flashes and is like: I GOT YOU BITCH! WHAT NOW?!

then at this point, you end up wanting to take another picture because either your mouth is open like you're dying or one eye is closed. so, the cycle starts again.

twits

it seems to me that the latest trend that seems to be going on is twitter which i nicknamed twits because it just sounds funnier that way. i would have had a ball if it was twatter. 

anyway, i dont really get why it's so fun, but i would just like to say, i had it before it became popular. if you look to your right, it says that my first twit was may 5th 2008. im so proud of myself. 

but for those of you who still have no idea what i'm talking about, twitter is a social networking program that lets you communicate on the go. meaning you can use your cell phone and update your "followers" with a simple text. per say: "i'm pooping" or "my baby is coming...like, now!" you know---just in case this technology driven society isn't already enough updated about people's daily lives. 

you can see that i only used twitter a couple of times, not because i dont think it could be great for other people, but because i thought it was stupid. but im brining it back onto my blog because i thought ya'll would like to know my every step and every move, just in case this blog wasn't fully satisfying. so, you're welcome.

fire TRUCK

this is wrong in so many ways, but it's so funny.

i doubt people will argue with me when i boldly declare that apple inc. has taken us all by storm. especially the iphone. and if you can't get the iphone because you're not with at&t then you most likely have the itouch [like me].

welcome to the 'ibelong to apple' club. 

so now that you own one of these things, you're ready to take the next level and discover all the other great things that us apple users can enjoy--such as apps [that's short for applications]--but no one says the full name; get with the macgram. at the app store, conveniently located in itunes, there is every app you can think of from more-than-neat dice games to apps that tell you which restaurant to eat at with the money thats left in your wallet. some of those apps are kinda weird--creepy--i have to admit. one in particular that caught my eye was an app called ipregnancy. and just like the name suggests, it's a pregnancy app. once you know when you've conceived, you put that information into the app and it'll give you all the information you would ever want to know about your pregnancy. meaning, they'll have 3D photos [of someone else's baby] to show you at what level your peanut is in and it also boasts a name picker. 

i still think it's a little weird. but i guess its for people who really want to have every step planned out. so go take a look at the app store. maybe you'll find a cool one that'll suit you. i know i love the classics app [its a book app] and tap tap revenge [!]
