Holiday Resolutions!

I feel so blank this holiday. No plan. No feeling. No excitement. But I don't wanna waste it. Time flies fast, really fast. And I'm done with looking back and regretting what I've missed. So, I start my holiday by making some resolutions.
Time given: 10 days.
Targets:
  • Make two crafts: Caterpillar doll and Bunny doll
  • Take an "amazing" photo from extraordinary world
  • Write an "amazing" post out of my ordinary life
  • Finish reading half of Bible (targeting the short books)
*amazing is relative. It is subjective to my satisfaction.

Targets are achievable , I guess. I will update on my achievements! :)
Happy holiday! Happy Eid ul Fitr! :)

2-day Shopping Thoughts

My sis came back for holiday. She and my parents are going to Spain for holiday. Assessing her wardrobe, we really believe she needs SHOPPING! So, as the only girl who can drive and shop, I was elected to be their chauffeur. I drove them wherever they want to shop and was honoredly asked to be their fashion adviser. My advise was taken seriously, by my surprise, as you can see my own style will be harshly criticized by high-end fashion doers.

Two-day shopping was tiring. I am still young and I love traveling, but if you ask me to go shopping when I have no intend to buy a thing would be a very tiring activity (except for giving advises although it isn't easy). My legs easily got tired while we were adventuring to find good clothes. My thoughts while my sis and mom busy shopping:

1. Females choose short-term-used item (clothes/bag/shoes). We (including me) choose items that too expensive-and-outstanding-and-short-lived goods (if I may use the words) which we will get bored soon and throw both money and item. We are delighted to find cute and unique item so that people will notice we have something new.
Study case: "A" bought a doll-pictured-with-sharp-color shirt which people easily notice and praise how cute she is when she wore it for the first time. The second time she wore it, she is still cute. The third and fourth times, she looked childish. Finally she decided to end the shirt's life.

2. Females are indecisive. We tend to choose a beautiful item which does not match our personality. Confusedly, we still spend a quite time to think whether it's ok to force it to ourselves. For me, it's ok that we have some items which we don't normally wear. It adds surprise to our lives. However, if we force something which way too far from our personality. It's wasting money!
Study case: "B" bought these pairs of studded-gray shoes which cause her to look double her age. She wore them once. And for the rest of those shoes, they spent it inside the box.

Recently I am learning to restrain myself from buying short-lived items. It's hard. But Hopefully in three months, I'm collecting long-lived items. Hopefully.

1st Saturday huh?



It started GREAT, it ended BORING!

For few weeks, I finally felt relaxed, away from work. Then "as usual", my independence day was ruined because my mom wanted to beautify her hair. I had planned some "me" activities, but in the end, I had to call them off.

From this experience, actually I don't wanna be a complainer, but sometimes I just wanna have "lazy" time, when I don't need to do or think or feel anything. Just relax. When the day was off, I think I had one. Reading lots magazines in the salon.

Youngsters nowadays

I've tried to get rid of it but I couldn't help to think of it again so I think it'll be healthier if I write it down here.

I think I am sick of teenagers' lifestyle.

#1 is their body. They grow so much! Their age may be little but their body isn't, and their face too! As an illustration, I got this independence day celebration last week when all teachers needed to attend it and some students did too. Teachers had to line up beside senior high school students. They basically outgrown all teachers. And I couldn't help but caught this view of a teenager "boy" who basically looked like a thirty-year-old man. Don't get me wrong here, I don't judge people by their look, but it's way too ridiculous (too bad I didn't take his picture, you may get chest pain if you look at him).

#2 is their attitude. As an illustration again, I met this mother and teenager "girl", who supposedly looks like she's still in her senior high year, in a boutique. Anyhow, she looks like she's a working woman. She dressed up super neatly with a white three-quarter-long-sleeve shirt and white tight shorts and white heels, and, fortunately, a blue handbag. While she looks very mature for her age, her mother, on the other way, looks very young for her age.

What happens to this generation? They think too mature, they behave too mature, and they speak too mature! Call me childish, you may, but I personally feel discomfort. And let me tell you this theory of mine, when teenagers get rushed to be mature at their young age, they will act way too childish at their old age. For me, enjoy your age. You can't repeat to be 24 and fabulous.
