New Hair.

So for my birthday I decided to get hair extensions. Now I am not the typical person who gets hair extensions. I am not blond, nor do I Go out of my way to look good on a daily basis. I'm more the wake up late, put a hat on, and run to work kind of girl. But i also have super fine hair, which i've been trying to grow out since I cut it that fateful day four years ago. So I decided to try them out since my sister was getting them anyways. They look awesome, but feel crazy. I'm not used to having so much hair and I'm afraid of pulling them out. They are a lot stronger than I realize, but they feel so breakable. It's strange, but hopefully i'll get used to them in a few days. But besides how crazy they feel, they are so great! I really do look so much better with longer hair. It's crazy.

P.s. Happy New Year!!! Enjoy the last hours of 2009.

Holiday Movies Bank It.

So my family and I decided to go see Sherlock Holmes today. We figured it wouldn't be too busy. So we got there about a half hour before the movie started, we were so wrong. The movie theatre was totally packed. And what was even worse, they oversold our movie so we had to get a refund because there weren't any seats left. We couldn't go see a later showing because they were totally sold out for the night. It was insane. I couldn't believe it. I always used to think movies that come out around Christmas must not do too well, I was mistaken. Movies that come out around Christmas must make bank.

I Finally Bought It.

I have been working very hard the past few months so I could save enough money to buy The Canon 50D. Today was the day I finally had enough money to buy it. I didn't end up getting the lens I want, but you have to start somewhere right? But even so, it's beautiful. I love it so much. I really haven't taken many pictures lately because I didn't have access to a camera. But I've been brainstorming and now I have all these ideas. I'll finally have a chance to use some of my ideas now that I have my own camera. Vancouver is a beautiful city. There's so much that people look past and barely acknowledge. I can't wait to put some of my ideas to use.

The Holiday Begins.

So I am a huge Christmas fan. I'm the person who starts playing Christmas music as soon as Thanksgiving is over. But this year, since my sister still lives in California, it just wasn't the same. So today is the start of the holidays for me. My sister flies in to Vancouver today. It's only the holidays if we're all together, otherwise it's just not the same.

Last Day at Starbucks.

Okay I'm officially done with working at Starbucks, again. I know I said I was done with Starbucks the last time I quit, but this time I mean it, I think. Well it'll be a last resort anyway. I felt so relived at the end of my shift today. No more non fat, no foam, lattes for me. Working at Starbucks can be stressful. But not in the way most people think. Most people would think that remembering all the drinks and making them at a fast pace would be the hard part. But to me that was easy. I find dealing with certain customers to be the stressful part. There are just some very unhappy people in this world. Those unhappy people tend to rub off on me and if I encounter too many, it totally ruins my night. They just kill what ever happiness I'm feeling at the time and replace it with anger and frustration. So evil.

Why Must Moving Bring Unwanted Emotions?

So because of school requirements, I now need to move back to California earlier than expected. Instead of moving back in the summer, I will be moving back in 3 weeks. At first I was stoked on the idea. But as the day draws near, all I can think about are the people I will miss here. It's crazy because while living here I kept thinking about all the people I left behind in Orange County. I guess it falls under the you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone category. I've made more friends than I had planned on making. I also got a lot more comfortable with the city and living in Vancouver than I thought I would. But working three jobs is one thing I will not miss. I love most of the people I work with at these jobs, but the hours are wearing me down. When moving the best thing to do is look at the glass half full. If it's half empty sooner or later it'll just be empty.

Oh Nicholas Sparks, I love Thee.

So I've read every book Nicholas Sparks has written. Let me just say off the bat, each book is as good as the other. They are all equally full of romance, love, desire, and happiness. After reading each one of his books, I always feel just a little more assured that there is love out there. He has this way of capturing true love in it's natural form. So far four of his books have been made into movies. They are: Message In A Bottle, A Walk To Remember, The Notebook, and Nights In Rodanthe. I love each of these movies. I think my favorite movie wise is The Notebook because they both die together. In the other movies one of the two lovers dies, which is severely depressing. The books are always a little bit different than the movies, but they are still worth your time.
