I realized something this weekend...
I'm a total people watcher!

Leave me in a crowded place and I could be amused for hours just watching others..

On the subway I tend to look at peoples shoes... I like to see what peoples shoes say about them.. Why they chose to wear certain shoes or where they may be going in those shoes..

In malls I could sit there on a bench and watch peoples behavior. I watch families and see how the parents react to the children screaming or watch a new couple who must hold hands at all times even when there is no space on an escalator and he is standing behind her..
Or even the random single shopper who looks so assertive and focused on what they came to the mall to do...
Oh and who can leave out the flocks of pre-teen and teenagers who got dropped off at the mall by mommy so they could slap on some lipstick, hike up their skirts and meet with the boys.

I even people watch on TV for gods sakes!
Reality show junkie here HELLO!

ah well at least I can keep myself amused in random places right? lol

Are you a people watcher?

Stay Pretty ;)

Its Friday... Its October & its the month from heaven and financial hell all at the same time!

I have 10 birthdays this month.... not just randoms either.... close friends & family.. not to mention Mr.BF's 2 days into next month.

While I love this month for its brisk weather, pumpkin goodies, Halloween & birthday parties which I love I also dread this month financially! Presents & dinners & birthday outings....
It seems every year I end up adding a birthday or 2 to this month too... Was everyone's parents getting busy in February?

Anyone else have a ton of b-days this month?

Stay Pretty ;)

Last night I watched the series premier of Hoarders on A&E. A show about compulsive hoarders, people who keep any and everything because they simply cant bear to part with it.

Wikipedia describes it as:
Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding) is the acquisition of, and failure to use or discard, such a large number of seemingly useless possessions that it causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities such as mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering or sleeping. A person who engages in compulsive hoarding is commonly said to be a "pack rat", in reference to that animal's apparent fondness for material objects.

Anyway after watching the show and seeing some of the nastiest images of living conditions I have ever seen in the western world I have come to the conclusion that I need to throw things away more!

Here are some images of hoarding I found online.

Its no where as bad as those on the show who couldn't even walk through the house because "stuff" covered the floors. I simply have one room that has a lot of things from my old condo in boxes. Kinda like a storage room. I keep things because I "may" need them one day but screw that shit I'm throwing everything out this month.

There is no way in hell I'm becoming like them!

Its weird because the rest of my house is uncluttered & minimalistic but its that one room! Doesn't everyone have one room they use as storage?

Anyone want a FREE 42" Samsung TV? lol ... no seriously if you're in the Toronto area email me!

Operation clean up is underway!

Have you ever been in a store, taken item to the cash and been charged less than you were supposed to? What did you do? Did you tell the cashier their mistake or just keep quiet?

This has happened to me twice this week...

Bath & Body works is having a sale and it was buy 2 get one free so I'm thinking great I gather my items 2 Fig & Brown Sugar body lotions & 1 Fig & Brown Sugar body pray. I love this scent and its now discontinued. I also picked up their rose blame or whatever its called that can be used on lips, elbows,face & cuticles.

I'm up at the cash and the girl cant find the sku for the sale so she asks the guy to her right and he says oh just punch it in and take off a zero. She does this and lets me know my total is $19.95.....

I know this isnt correct or rather I thought something was up since it didnt quite make sense however I wasnt about to say something I mean what if I was wrong.

After I left I checked the bill and noticed she charged me for ONE and have me TWO free!

Then yesterday I was with Mr.25 and we headed to this flee market near his place and there was a Revlon sale there so I was like hellz yeah lets go! I ended up picking up some transparent pvc bags for my kit and Revlons Bare It All luminzing lotion in 2 colors.
The lotions were 2 for $5 but when I got to the cash the guy only charged me a $1 each...

I felt kinda bad when I left but didn't say anything... truthfully I'm not sure I ever would unless it was a HUGE difference....

What would you do? Would you correct their mistake?

Stay Pretty ;)

This should be interesting!
Off to pack up my kit...

Check back tomorrow for behind the scene shots...

Stay Pretty ;)

Waking up with itchy eyes that no matter how hard you to to scratch still remain itchy.
They puff so much no makeup will help.
Nose running so fast you cant catch it.
So stuffed you are forced to breathe through your mouth which only leads to dry lips...
You sneeze so much and so fast people look at you like you're mad..

I run to the medicine cabinet to find relief...
WHAT?!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO......
An empty pack.....
What dumb ass put an empty pack in the cabinet??
Is this a sick joke?

Ugh..

So suffer I must today....
because I'm the dumb ass....

Damn you allergies..... damn you!

Dear peeps,

I would like to thank you all for the kind words on Fridays post. I was and still am going through a very trying time in my personal family life and your comments, emails and messages really helped me feel loved.

I know some of you may want to know how my weekend went besides all the drama so why don't I share.

Although I was feeling quite down Friday I talked to my mommy and she told me not to cancel my plans for the weekend and to just go out and have fun. As you know I had a date planed with Mr. Crab for that night and decided that I should go and make the most of it.

He picked me up and we headed out for sushi at one of my favorite places. Dinner went well, conversation was ok.. I wouldn't say flowing but not bad either. He had an issue with eye contact that irritated me but I chocked it up to nerves and let it go.

He asked me at dinner if I was still up for seeing a movie and I said sure. We decided on Star Trek (which btw was awesome!! Even if you are like me and have never watched an episode of that show in your life...) We sit down and its packed not a single seat left. He turns to me and says "if I fall asleep wake me up".... ooooh kay...

Movie starts, the first half hour was fine... then at one point I look over and the man is fully sleeping. I giggled to myself and nudged him... he smiles and says sorry... we go back to watching...

10 minutes later his eyes are closed hes in a comfy position and his head is starting to slide. Do I wake him up again? He did tell me to not let him sleep... I nudge him again and say " do you want to watch or sleep, if you want to sleep I wont wake you up"... " no no I want to watch I'm SO sorry I'm awake now".....

I think you can see where this is going..... 5 mins later he was fast asleep and I didn't bother waking him up.

The man slept for 50% of our god damn date!!!

He woke up at the end and said "oh I guess I missed most of that huh" ... Uh YEAH!

He dropped me home and I pretty much said peace out and got outta the car... In my head I was thinking what a freakin waste of time that was and that he probably wasn't interested only as I left the car he said sorry again and said he had a really nice time... the next day he text me and wanted to know how my day was... if he wasn't interested why make contact? He msn'd me last night too...

I haven't been acting interested at all, Im kinda turned off to be honest.... If you know you fall asleep in movie why on earth would you take someone to one on a first date??!

Moron!

As for my date with Mr.25 on Sunday... I canceled... I wanted to see him but was kinda overwhelmed with all the stuff going on personally as well as my retarded date on Friday. We did end up talking yesterday for hours and I have to say he was SO understanding and supportive of my situation (the personal one not the bad date, he didn't know about that).

I may see him Wednesday and I'm actually looking forward to it!
Kinda goes to show you that 33 or 25.. I guess age doesn't really matter... at least the 25 yr old didn't fall asleep on our first date!!!

Stay Pretty ;)

Over the weekend I went to go visit my GF who just got married at her new house (was just her husbands home before the wedding) and I was under the impression Id get the tour then we would go for coffee and catch up....

She brought up going to Canadian Tire to check out some patio furniture for their backyard and asked me if I wouldn't mind going... I LOVE that kinda stuff and after she said she wanted my opinion I felt needed and who doesn't love that?!

I began to put my shoes on and her husband reaches for his jacket.... Oh ok I guess hes coming with... cool...

This is going to be a bit 3rd wheelish no? Me and the newlyweds patio shopping... ok maybe it wont be so bad....

It was! Not that they did anything wrong really but I walked a few paces behind them and listened to them make couple decisions & couple compromises and felt kind of guilty almost for being a part of this moment. Very fly on the wall-ish.

It was so nice... for them.
I was so happy for her in that moment, shes been through a rough past and it was so nice to see her happy and in something that seemed so "real" whatever that means.

I pushed my own thoughts as far back into my head as I could, no one needed to know how much I wanted that. How I looked at them from the outside wondering if that would ever be my life someday...

After all it was their moment... A simple and beautiful moment meant for them....

A moment not meant for me....

Well I don't have time to post much today as its one CRAZY day but I just wanted to say have a wonderful weekend. I will be attending to my girl this weekend as she gets married. Yup another wedding.... It sucks being one of the last single ones!

However I have made a promise to myself wanna hear it? Here goes....

-I will not cry, kick or scream
-I will not feel sorry for myself or throw my hands up and yell WHY?!
-I will not steal any of the brides spotlight in hopes a young available man will spot me
-I will not make fake conversations with any aunties or uncles who I don't know just to meet that somewhat normal looking man at their table
-I will not wear a fake engagement ring just so people I haven't seen in a while will think I've got something on the go or in the works
-I will not get drunk and try to pretend I know how to Bhangra... (good thing its a Muslim wedding with only fruit juice and water huh!)
Oh and
-I will not do her makeup so over the top so I look better than her muahaha jks I would never!

Yes this covers just some of the promises I've made for this weekend to myself... oh and the bride... hehe

Ok I promise you I'm really not depressed about this at all I'm super happy for her.... really I am....

Stay Pretty ;)

It totally sucks large hairy balls that I dont have a freakin camera :( As you may or may not remember depending on how good your memory works or how much of the text in my posts you actually read that I somehow, some way cracked the screen of my amazing canon that I got in hong kong last feb.


You know what this means??? It means all the pics I SO want to take for you my lovelies I cant because the camera on my blackberry not only sucks and swallows but its a royal pain in the butt to get the pics off my phone. YES im one of those ppl that has a blackberry and refuses to add my email account to it.... I just dont want to be THAT reachable!!! And FYI I dont even have facebook on my BB... *gasp* I know even people with brick phones have FB on them... yeah well Im difficult ok!


Argh I wanted to show you all the cool and crazy purple eyes I did just for fun in class today or the awesome bangle I purchased after school... I took pics on my phone and ill prob post them this weekend but right now im SO drained that all I can think about is sleep, my bed and dragging my butt outta bed for one more weekday to face the cold, damp, darkness of old man winter....


Hope all is well with you all in the blogworld. Missing you much!


Stay Pretty ;)

Yeah that's right I don't celebrate xmas... always wanted to but never have (due to religion in case you were wondering). It didn't bother me much growing up because I grew up in an area where most others didn't celebrate it either but there was always a small part of me that would light up when I was out and about and saw anything christmasy.

As Ive grown older and realized that this time of year has less to do with religion Ive grown to embrace and enjoy it. The multi colored lights that outline each house in every city and suburb, the festive music that somehow makes you want to sing along and bop your head from side to side, the friendlier attitudes of people on the streets, the wicked sales at the mall lol..

I love it all so much that this year I decided that Im going to put up lights in the condo and get a holiday tree... my very first tree...

Ok so its about 8 inches tall and has no leaves but HEY its a start lol... Im working on the lights.. perhaps this weekend ill put them up and post pics...

I wonder what kinda gifts (to myself) I could fit under this tiny tree... hmm.. lipgloss, a new toothbrush, a mini Buddha for my collection, a package of gum, a new set of diamond stud earrings, batteries, tea light candles..... what else?

Im very excited about my holiday tree addition it just adds something to the condo... I would have got some mistletoe too but you know... I live alone... and im very single sooo it really wouldn't get much use me thinks.

Speaking of mistletoe check out this comic...

Stay Pretty and happy holidays :)

After yesterday's post and seeing Ralph Tresvants horrible mustache from back in the day I got to thinking... Are mustache's ever really OK?

Im talking about the male kind here because mustache's on women are never ever a debatable topic!

Even the hottest men can be made to look ugly with a couple weeks worth of growth over the lip... Take Matthew MaConaughey for instance.. From Hot to hillbilly with this fake stache..

Or Seth Green who lets face it tends to win people over with his humour rather than his looks but what happens when an ok looking guy grows a mustache? He ends up reminding us of a red headed Borat instad of a girly eyed funny man! um is he wearing mascara here? ok thats a whole other post...

I think it becomes more acceptable to keep a stache once you pass the age of lets say 55.. why? because you're now a senior and seniors can get away with a lot like socks and sandals or Hawaiian shirts every day of the week. Also I know this theory is true because the site of Dr.Phil doesn't make me want to laugh or mail him a razor.

Also my dear dear father sports a mustache. He has always had one and is never ever allowed to shave it...ever. He did once when I was 4 and I cried and cried for days because I didn't know where my father went lol... so yeah hes never allowed to shave it... and I happen to think he looks good with it... plus hes a senior now so its ok!

Also, the word mustache just bugs me. I mean just say it... mustache...mus-tache... its just one of those weird words that if you actually think about will bug you too! Im sure of it ;)

Thoughts?

Stay Pretty ;)
