The To-Don't List

I read an article shared by my friend Yana on Darling Magazine about a To-DON'T List. That's right, a to-don't list. There are to-do lists and there are to-don'ts. Your to-don't list can be your list of many things like fashion to-don'ts, general to-don'ts, to-don't ever etc but the to-don't list I'm talking about is the same as the one mentioned in the article I linked.

In this day and age where overachievers are getting younger and younger, it's hard to not want to do everything and cram everything just to be (or even feel) accomplished. I don't see anything wrong with that though, but being pressured to do well all the time, be perfect all the time and check things off your to-do list as you keep adding stuff on to it is just madness. The list just doesn't get any shorter.

So, in line with this as well as Easter (which connotes resurrection or turning over a new leaf), I've made my own to-don't list of the things or traits I will stop giving myself a hard time over.

Stylish Saturdays: Hapatime

Just a quick post!
I know I haven't done any Stylish Saturday posts in a long time so allow me to do one now! I'm featuring my new favorite blogger Jessica of hapatime.com! I saw a photo of her in a blush mullet dress before and I've always wanted to find her. Fast forward to a few weeks later--turns out I was already following her on Chictopia!! Boo Farrah, boo!
Anyway, aside from being so pretty (she's half-Japanese, half-Caucasian!), I love her style aesthetic. I'm all for the simple, classic neutral look she has going (probably from the Zen Japanese side of her!). Her interview here says her style icons are Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Olivia Palermo, which are two of mine! More photos after the jump, or better yet visit her blog here!

From Hell (Week) and Back

This skirt is my gauge for how much I weigh. If I feel like I look huge in it, I gained weight. If I look and feel good in it, my butt isn't the size of Jupiter.

Love this photo! It looks like twas taken at a summer festival! :)

hat: Parfois
Last Friday at about 2pm, I submitted my Filipino paper (the very same one I've been b*tching about for a few posts now), my last requirement for the sem so as of Friday, I was officially free!! Or not quite. Actually, I just got home from school for the last activity of the semester--a play for our Literature class. I was just one of the behind-the-scenes people though so nothing major there.
Anyway, sorry again for the week without posts!! It was hell exam week, which I'm sure you all can identify with. I wasn't supposed to be stressed because I planned everything out but at the last minute (last Monday), when I was about to print my Filipino paper, I found out my file got corrupted. I anticipated these "technical difficulties" since it has happened to me so I emailed myself copies of the files after I edited them but the last copy I had that wasn't ALSO corrupted was from around March 10 so it was so bare! To make a long story short, I had to re-type a paper I worked on for a month in a day and a half (found out the deadline was actually Friday. phew!) That's not counting my mega combo 4 exam day last Wednesday (8 am-9pm)!
