Let's Talk Awkward!

Okay, I am probably the princess of being awkward. I encounter awkward moments everyday. Probably because I just make it awkward. Alright, enough of me telling you how awkward I am. Yesterday, I went to order pizza at this pizza restaurant with my dad and as I was ordering, I've realized that the person who was taking my order was a friend from middle school. When I walked into the restaurant, I didn't recognize him because I can't really make out a person's face from a distance. As I went up to the counter to make my order, I was looking at the menu to find what my dad wanted on his pizza. So, no eye contact there. I wasn't sure what my dad wanted and I had confused the guy, but my dad came in and cleared it up. Then, when I did make eye contact, I knew that he looked familiar. It was a friend from my class in 7th grade. It was so weird seeing him because it has been about 5 years since I've last seen him. The awkward part is that we both acted like we didn't know each other. I'd like to admit that I used to have a crush on him and that made it even more awkward for me and he still looks the same. Maybe a little bit maturer. I wanted to laugh out loud in the restaurant because it was so awkward for me. As soon as I recognized him, I texted my two best friends from middle school and my cousin. I was freaking out and not to mention, smiling like an idiot because I was trying to hold in my laughter. Let's just say I am very awkward and that's okay.

Flashback Apparel.

Today is a nice day and I felt like actually dressing up casual, but yet "fashionable." I just put together something simple and realized that I was dressed like I went back to the 90s. I thought it would be perfect to post about, because I've been obsessing over 80s and 90s fashion lately.

Please excuse the quality of my pictures. My camera's battery was dead and I had to take these pictures on my phone. Anyway, on with my outfit of the day! My denim jacket is my mom's and it is from Old Navy and probably purchased in the late 90s to early 2000s. My striped t-shirt is from Gap and it is so comfy. I'm wearing light washed jeggings from American Eagle. Lastly, I'm wearing my red Chuck Taylors (don't be fooled, they're actually old. I just barely wear them because of weather purposes).

That's My Jam!

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for days? Well, I have that problem. I cannot get two of The Vamps songs out of my head! If you don't know who The Vamps are, they are an indie pop band from the UK. Moving on, I have two of their latest singles stuck in my head, which are 'Last Night' and 'Wild Heart'. I am always singing it; out loud and in my head. It does not matter where I am, while driving, in the shower, or in class... and right now. They're too catchy! Like it's fun and upbeat. The lyrics are not so bad. It's my kind of music. I even tweeted a lyric from 'Wild Heart' earlier. Yeah... It will take a while to get it out of my head. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy it.

The Desperation Is In The Air.

Yesterday, one of the favorite bands, 5 Seconds of Summer, had announced a contest to win two tickets to their concert along with a signed Fender guitar, and get this, a chance to meet the band. This is an opportunity that I could not resist. I was planning to go to the concert once they had announced the tour a while back, but I couldn't get the tickets because every ticket reseller bought almost half of the tickets. Then I just sat in my room and was mad at the world (not really, I'm just exaggerating). So after I saw the tweet about the contest, which included the website for the the contest registration and rules, I immediately entered and created something. The contest consists of taking and showing something from the cities listed in their tour with some band "pride" in it, such as, merchandise or lyrics and posting on Instagram and/or Twitter with the hashtags that they provide. I'm a bad fan for not having any merch, so I just took lyrics and photoshopped an image. I took a lyric from one of their songs from their latest EP and incorporated into a photo of New York City lights. I had fun editing the photo, because I do enjoy graphic design. I blurred out the photo to show more of the pride. I just hope I win, because that would be totally awesome.

This is my contest entry.

Spring Break in a Nutshell.

I went back to school today after a week of break. As you already know from my last post, I went to Virginia for spring break. I did and ate a bit of things. Haha. So, here are some photos from my break.

Bread and drinks at The Cheesecake Factory.

Fried Mac n' Cheese with marinara sauce.

My food: Chicken Bellagio.

Yummy Treats.

So, for spring break, I went to Virginia. I got to catch up with my cousins while I was there. The other day, my cousin, Jane and I decided to go to The World Market. If you don't know what The World Market is, it is a store that sells items from furniture to toys to accessories to stationary items to food to kitchen essentials. We were particularly looking for food at the store to do a taste testing on. I wanted to try some treats from Australia and the UK. I only got 4 items, which are the Tim Tams, Violet Crumble, Yorkie, and the Pop Rocks. Now, the Pop Rocks are not exactly an international treat, so I didn't even plan to do a taste testing with them. I just miss eating them. Anyway, we both got that treats that we wanted to try and when we got home, we did the taste testing with our other cousins and recorded most of it. And so, here's the video! Hope you enjoy.

I'm Back?

HELLO THERE! Yes, I am finally on break and I guess I'll be posting for a little bit again. Oh, how much I miss posting. I've been too occupied with school and I am finally relaxing... kind of. I still have school work to do during this break, but it's not so bad. I'm actually trying to get most of it done soon so that I can enjoy the rest of the week. Knowing myself, I am sure that I will not get a lot done since I have a pretty small attention span. I've gotten half of the school work done so far and that is a good amount. Plus, the work that I'm focusing on is just what I need to catch up on. I will be occasionally posting when class begin again, because the semester is almost ending. I am so glad! I enjoy sharing thoughts on this blog. Until next time... see ya!
