love love love

most of my blog posts lately have been about me ranting about certain things so i'm trying to make this one full of positive vibes for a change（＾_＾）

things have been pretty good for me lately. on monday i finally received my dress that i ordered online from romwe  (which is my new favourite online store) and it looked as great as it did on the website. the quality is fantastic and it comes with its own zip lock bag for if you're travelling and you can exchange or refund it if the product has any issues eg. size being too small/large or too long/short. it's just this absolutely adorable light powder blue dress with eye prints and a really cute little turtleneck. if you've read one of my previous posts, i mentioned that this dress was in my fashion bucketlist and i'm so happy to finally cross it out. i wore it yesterday when i was out with my parents and styled it with my oversized denim jacket which was tied around my waist and my white chunky high heeled sneakers that i got from japan during my holiday there. i used my studded faux leather backpack but you can't really see it so i'll just show it some other time. 

extremely adorable dress from romwe *squeelsssss*

they're kinda like creepers but at the same time not?????
i don'treally know what they're called. 

i thought that i looked hella cute and i even did a little make up but just a simple cat eye look. nothing much. 

cat eye alexa chung style ( ^ _ ^ )

i don't like the lines to be too thick because it makes my eyes look smaller and they're already as small as it is on their own. do excuse my eyebags. insomniac problems one-o-one. 

so while i was out with my parents, i had lunch at this place called hakata ippudo which is some japanese restaurant that's pretty famous for their pork ramen. i ordered the miso pork ramen and oh my god it was so good! definitely food for the soul and perfect for a cold rainy day 

（＾ν＾）

their salmon avocado bacon rolls were good too and not to mention, good presentation as well as taste.

and after that i had green tea ice cream which was wonderful. 

i've done a little redecorating for my room too and i really like how it looks. it's not much. just one corner of my room but i think it looks great. i'll planning on doing more in the future. 

the black picture is a birthday present from tracia that she drew for me. do ignore the weird patch of white light it's just my camera's stupid flash. 

this week has been very good to me and a lot has happened. i also visited an art gallery the day before and saw many beautiful paintings done by talented locals. this one was my favorite because of the beautiful meaning behind it. 

the rest of the paintings are on my instagram account (link at the bottom of the page). okay, i'm gonna sign off now because i wouldn't wanna bore you with my life so till then xx

remotely interesting life update

you could say that a lot happens in my life although i beg to differ. my life is pretty boring. it pales in comparison with other people's. so here i am to maybe give all of you an update on my remotely interesting life. 

lately i've been trying to be healthier because not only would it help me to lose weight but it would also make my body more energized and less tired all the time. the main reason for becoming healthier is to lose weight and become more fit and i realized that eating healthy is more effective than starving myself all the time like i used to. starving yourself slows down your metabolic rate however eating healthier foods speeds it up. a higher metabolic rate helps you burn fat faster so that's what i'm aiming for. 

so to boost my metabolism, i've made some changes in my diet. i've been eating similar meals almost every single day. they're pretty much the same things which are parsley and garlic pasta with an egg fried in olive oil, salmon sautéed in olive oil with green beans, and tomato basil pasta with button mushrooms. i eat pretty much these same meals over and over again. i've also cut down on carbs especially at night so i mostly just eat the salmon with green beans for dinner or blend some fruits into juice if i want something lighter. some of my favorite juices are the banana, apple and pineapple smoothie, papaya and pineapple, and strawberry, pineapple and banana. my daily meals mainly consist of olive oil and fibre. the olive oil helps keep my hair healthy and growing fast while the fibre keeps my bowels clean. 

also i've been drinking lemon water instead of regular water to help me detox. i also excercise regularly by jogging or going for a walk. it's not much but at least it's something. here are selfies that i took with a neighborhood cactus on one of my walks. 

nowadays my snacks are much healthier too. i've been bringing apples to school for my recess rather than the greasy but heavenly delicious cafeteria food. i also snack on cucumbers. i've always loved cucumbers anyway so it's no big deal. i even used to use cucumber conditioner hahahha. 

i've been trying to cook some new recipes too. just yesterday i made sour cream and salmon pasta. it was just as good as i expected and i might make some again on monday to bring to school for recess and to share with my friends. 

i still have cheat days every once in a while when i snack on maltesers and eat really buttery delicious breakfast food and johnny rockets. 

feelings wise, i realize that i kind of feel a little more on the emotional side lately? i'm not sure why that is but sometimes i feel like people don't really notice that i'm more emotional than usual. i know it's selfish for me to wish that people were more aware of my feelings but i guess i'm just extremely bitter and selfish. i just hope things get better soon. in the meantime, i hope things are good for everyone else too.
