Well hello! 

I have been absent from this blog a long time now. I suppose a lots just been going on in my life lately. But with Christmas around the corner and some spare time on my hands, I figured I'd make a new post featuring winter-y items of joy! Too much has happened since I wrote my last post for me to do a full update on my life, so I'll just try to make an effort to post more often to keep things a little more up to date. 

Today my mum and I decorated the house for Christmas. My kitten Mittens was trying her best to help but in the end she had to go out in the hallway… 

We also decorated my bedroom and put my mini tree together. It looks really pretty; I kinda wish I could keep it up all year around, though I guess it wouldn’t be the same then. 

 

We then had to wrap up to go get some ingredients from the store. I realised when I got home how cute and mismatched my accessories were! 

 

We made the richest, yummiest white hot chocolate ever. It is so sweet and rich that I could only actually drink half a mug of it earlier – I’m saving the rest for later tonight! ;D Here’s some proof that I made it without setting the kitchen on fire…

 It was a pretty good day. It's nice to spend some time with family doing stuff like decorating and cooking, ^_^ 

Anyway, until next time! 

New furry friend!

I haven’t updated in a while, I know, but I’ve been quite busy! Not only have I been getting ready for college in two weeks, but I’ve had my hands full with a new furry friend of mine...

                                                                            Meoww.

This Is my neko, Mittens. She’s so freaking adorable. She’s ten weeks old this Friday and she’s as playful as you’d expect her to be. I’d known taking care of a young kitten is a lot of work, but she can be quite naughty too! I don’t much appreciate when she starts biting the side of the sofa, although luckily, with her tiny teeth she can’t do much damage. She has two main moods; super hyper playful kitty and sedated sleeping-on-the-nearest- lap kitty.  I’m making the most of her playful side as I’m well aware cats become less and less interested in play as they get older. Mittens has been keeping me busy these past few weeks and I’ll miss her when I go off to college, I’m not sure what mischief she’s going to get up to when I’m not there to watch her but I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough.

Until next time!

I'm still here!

I realise I have been away from my blog for a while, but I’ve been kinda busy doing other stuff lately. Namely, getting ready for college! I start college in September and recently got my enrolment info in the mail, and I’ve been studying and preparing and making lists of stuff I need so I can be 1000% prepared and not rushing around at the last minute! I’m a little excited to be going but mainly just really nervous, which I’m trying to combat by being as prepared as I can be. As usual I’ll be filling my school bag with all sorts of cute stationary and other stuff, which I’ll probably post photos of when it’s all ready.

Well, that’s about it for now! Just a quick update to say I’m still alive mostly. ;)

Hello again blog!

Lately I’ve been kind of busy occupying my time trying to get various jobs done.  I think I’ve done pretty well so far but I thought I’d stop to take a small break and update my blog. This past weekend has been so hot! I’m surprised I haven’t melted. On Saturday I went into town, and it was super busy and super hot. I just got my money in my bank account, and ended up buying a few things but I’m trying hard to stick to my budget lately and save up. I took a quick webcam picture of my new dress however, ‘cause I think it’s super pretty! There was only one left and it’s actually a size bigger than the size I need but it has an elasticated back and adjustable straps so it fits just fine!

I also got this super cute hello kitty set with a cup and plates and stuff. I swear, when I move out I’ll be totally set as far as cute kitchen equipment goes! 

Other stuff I got that isn’t pictured is some make up (I wanted a new blusher) an anime DVD of 5cm per second which was super cheap and something I wanted to see anyway, and some yummy natural mint and cucumber shower gel stuff. I never usually buy that stuff but I felt like treating myself! Another thing I’ve been doing lately is sitting around and looking awesome with natural yogurt on my face. Why? Because it’s amazing for lessening skin redness, soreness, moisturizing, and a bunch of other stuff.  It’s basically a natural miracle. On that note, everyone interested in beauty stuff or hilarious comedy videos should go check out bubz:  here!

One more thing I must mention is the cute ducklings! The houses around here are right in front of a river and pond area and so adorable ducks constantly waddle over to our front doors and wait to be fed. It’s really cute but we didn’t realize that one of the ducks would eventually make a nest around here! Two weeks ago the mother duck made a nest right next to the front door opposite us, nestled next to the bins. Just yesterday the eggs finally hatched and we had the most adorable baby ducklings waddling around the car park! Luckily everyone looked out for them and today they went back to the pond safely. I think all my neighbours are sad to see them go, but they should come back next year. I took a video to capture the moment, and here it is!

[I still haven’t managed to fix the problem that causes me to not be able to comment on other people’s blogs using my account! I assume it’s some sort of setting on my new laptop that’s preventing it but I haven’t had much time to sort it out just yet.]

[EDIT: I'm having trouble commenting on other blogs. I write my comment, select that I want to use my Google account, press post comment, and get sent to the log in screen. I log in, and I'm sent back to the comment, and then I press send, and get sent back to log in again, and the comment never posts! Anyone else having this problem?]

It's official- I've been BlogSlacking. But! I have excuses aplenty, and they're very valid. Over the past month or so, I've moved out of my bedroom, got new furniture, moved back into my bedroom, had a college interview, and an 18th birthday. I have thought about posting during all this, but my head has just been elsewhere.

As far as the college interview goes, I have an unconditional place, and will be starting in September. Am quite looking forward to it but I'm very nervous- the campus is quite big, and I only know two other people, one of which is usually going to be on placement and not actually in college, and the other I don't regularly speak to. Still, I'm sure I'll meet some new people and it should be fun once I get there and get over the initial nervousness.

My birthday went well too- I got lots of cool presents, including the laptop I'm currently writing this blog on, an amazing pink ukulele with Lisa Simpson on it (although I did want a SpongeBob one, waa!), some hair straighteners, a Viviene Westwood necklace and a bunch of other cool stuff. I went with my mum,  aunt, my cousin and her fiance to Starbucks in the morning, then later on my mum took me to this super posh hotel place for fancy afternoon tea, which I really enjoyed considering my obsession with tea parties and the like. I took some snapshots of the decor because I was majorly impressed.

                                             Here's a shot of me and my mum.

                                                           Aaaand me and my cousin.

Here I am outside the hotel.

It was a good day. Also, this weekend me and a few friends went out for a kind of post-birthday meal thing. Here are a few required bathroom shots. I look kind of amused because about three minutes earlier I accidentally pulled the soap dispenser off the wall...o.o

As the day went on I began to notice that my birthday had a Hello Kitty theme!

As I walked in my living room I saw this...

And here's my cake! ^_^

I had a really fun birthday, and now I have no more excuses I can get back to my regular blog posts!
