accumulating emo.

There are so many things to deal with right now. I don’t like having so many things to deal with. I don’t like having to deal with whether or not to deal with things that someone else is telling me to go poke my nose into but my newfound curb-thy-inner-mother-hen senses are screaming at me not to.

But there’s one thing to be grateful for at least. Japan is finally settled and I can throw it into the closet until May! Hmm. Actually, not so. I still need to buy the Rail Passes.

But in all times of distress, doubt and helplessness, one turns to God, and in God one always finds the answer. There is really nothing that can compare to sitting in quiet contemplation with the rosary in hand.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.

Japan is definitely proving to be very troublesome. Or rather, HostelWorld is proving to be extremely troublesome. I would like to wring its creator by the neck. 3 of 3 accomodations booked through it have required fancy footwork on my part. UGH. Long story.

Reunion dinner today was plain dysfunctional. Well, not all of it. Just the part that I was involved with. I was too tired and headachey to do anything about No. 3’s situation. You know how when things are not OK but people just pretend that they’re OK and continue playing with nephews etc as usual?

Good night world. I trust you’ll be a nicer place tomorrow.

omg no really??

isn’t it just awwww!!

Meet my new favourite animal (after Topsy, of course). May I present…

The PANGOLIN! Isn’t it the cutest thing ever. Apparently we have pangolins in Singapore too – the Sunda Pangolin. The one above is a widdle baby tree pangolin! Humour me as I post more pictures of this superly awesome critter.

boredom induces fash hagging.

Stumbled upon these whilst attempting to keep awake in class yesterday, and I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE.

How could you NOT love. Hahahahaha. Check out the other Chanel Valentine’s Day gifts here.

something to aspire to.

Or not. ;p

i want to like this.

Really, I do. Because I love Coco Rocha and her usually awesome sense of style.

But this is just… BAD. It reminds of Queen Amidala meets Snow White, with the heavy shoulders and flared look. I’m half expecting those gold shoulder pads to either (a) light up in the event of a blackout, or (b) burst forth with airbags should she get into a motor accident.

Someone needs a trip to design school before launching a whole line of her own, methinks!

I do, however, love her makeup. :)

pheromones, maybe.

Children have been exceptionally friendly towards me lately.

Today a kid outside the sauna looked at me and (completely randomly) chirped brightly, “I’m waiting for my mommy!”

Me: (completely stunned and at an utter loss for words, clutching the sauna bucket and ladle stupidly) “Ahaha… good for you then!” -insert panicked smile-

asphyxiates in excitement.

If I were getting married tomorrow, I’d wear this down the aisle. Gorgeous!!!

senioritis.

I cannot reproduce artificially the panicked speed at which I study when an exam is imminent.

whyWhyWHY?!!
Stop procrastinating, Rachel!

(I blame senioritis. Neh neh ni poo poo.)
