I was sitting here staring out the window daydreaming when I felt the building sway from side to side... now I wasn't alarmed since the building tends to move sometimes but this time it lasted a good 30 seconds...
EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know Toronto's been hit before with tiny tremors before but nothing like this one... 5.5 on the richter scale at 1:44pm today. As we shook and shook we all looked at each other wondering if indeed this was an earthquake or something else... that's how NOT used to it we are over here.. (how do you californians deal with this over and over)
I headed over to twitter and tweeted about the shaking only to scroll down and see I wasn't the only one. People as far away as Cleavland felt the tremors and its said the the epicenter was in Quebec.
I knew the jokes about Quebec trying to separate from the rest of Canada again were inevitable but then the jokes about the possible tornado tonight and the G20 summit happening here over the next few days filled twitter...
Its dark and gloomy here now and as people start to chill out and realize ok that wasn't so bad life begins to get back to normal... until tonight's Tornado that is...
Will I be home taking cover under a blanket? NO ill be accessory shopping for my besties bday (which is today happy bday girl I got you and earthquake!) party on Saturday... Shopping stops for nothing!
Anyone else feel today's quake??

There are time when I don't even remember this blog BUT Ive decided to keep it up because every now and then I have the urge to write.
So lets see whats happened since Ive last posted...
My freelance makeup career has taken off and I'm busier than ever and recently found out my work has landed on 5 billboards across Brazil crazy huh?!! I feel so blessed!
In other news....
Well me and Mr25(now 26) aka Mr.BF are still together :O Shocking I know considering my past dating life!
We traveled together last november to Punta Cana, had our first xmas and new years together, partied for both our birthdays, had our first valentines together aww, and the biggest deal we celebrated our 1 year anni on May 7th with a trip to Niagara Falls which was special. He got me a diamond "Journey" Pendant which kinda looks like this...
Only mine is gold not white gold.....Isnt it gorge?
I'm still happy and crazy in love with a man I never thought would make it past a month simply because of his age...
I have definitely learned that age is just a number.... don't get me wrong there are times when I have to remind myself that hes only 26 and therefore hasn't gone through as many life experiences as me but overall you really cant help who you fall in love with.
He treats me better than any man (including the ones 10 yrs older) Ive ever been with. Hes kind, gentle, honest, loyal and would do anything in his power to make me happy so really how could I ask for anything more right?
There has been some talk of the future but nothing has happened as of yet but you never know right?! ;)
Well I'm not so sure how many people will stop and read this but I just felt I needed to share an update on here.
xoxo

So Snookie from the Jersey Shore posted this pic on her twitter of their appearance on Leno.
Is it me or does snookies "poof" get higher and higher with each appearance?
JWOOWWW looks hot,
The situation actually looks like a normal nice guy instead of a creeper giggalo,
Pauly D looks possessed,
Sammi's face looks like the same whiny I hate the world face she always has on so nothing new there,
and Ronnie...well he just looks like his happy go lucky la la la I live in my own bubble regular self.
How long could their fame really last? I mean can snookies poof really get any higher? Is she trying to somehow be as tall as JWOWW?
Anyways season 2 of these fist pumping guidos and guidettes airs this summer... cant wait lol
Stay Pretty ;)

Stay Pretty ;)
Over the holidays I went to LA for my cousins wedding and let me tell you it was BRRR! When you think of California you generally think of sun,beaches,celebs & fake boobs but let me tell you i saw none of that lol...
No I had a great time I only wished I had more time to sight see. We had a connecting flight on the way home. Cali>Denver>Toronto and on the flight from Denver to Toronto I was seated next to a young guy with a buzz cut. Right away he began to chat with me, apologizing for smelling of smoke and offering me several time to use his movie screen on the back of the headrest in front of him as mine was broken. Sweet yes, he even went as far as to offer me his portable dvd player but I just didn't feel right taking it lol.
As we chatted it came out that he was 20, in the US Air Force and stationed in the UK where he was headed via Toronto. He seemed nervous, fidgety and like he just needed to keep talking. He asked me all kinds of questions about Canadians which I found amusing, he told me all about the airplane we were on including the fact that we were pretty much free falling... He asked me what the drinking age was in the air and at one point he even found it amusing that the arm rest between us lifted up and offered to cuddle with me... I laughed it off and put the arm rest back down.
Near the end of the flight I asked his name... Matthew he said... but he never asked mine. As we deplaned he walked along side me until customs where we said our casual goodbyes and went our separate ways.
He was a character but it made one heck of a flight home since I usually get stuck to people who sleep the whole flight.
I came home and spent new years with Mr.BF and his family. Really low key, really sober & really glad to be entering into a new year with him :)
I hope you all had a fun and exciting holiday and new year. Here's to a wonderful 2010!!
Stay pretty ;)
Well remember how I said that Mr.BF couldn't keep a secret so I found out what my xmas present was? Well I finally got my camera back and am able to show you :)
He got me this promise ring *blushes*
Its Garnet (my birthstone) and Diamonds set in 14k gold.
Normally I'm not about my birth stone at all but I actually really love this ring. The thought and love behind it makes it all that much more special.
It was re-wrapped and is now under the tree at his families house waiting for me to be fake surprised lol...
Stay Pretty ;)
Today me and my beautiful city got to experience the once in a lifetime chance of seeing the Olympic torch switch runners and flames.
I left work just before the 12:40pm switch rushed to make it on time, walked across the street to the "spot" only to find a large crowd starting to gather. I felt everyone's excitement and it was catchy!
Even though I went alone I cheered loudly as the torch approached and it was truly and experience I will never forget.
Today especially I am SO proud to be a Canadian!!

Next runner waiting for her turn
The moment we were all waiting for :)
I couldn't feel my fingers for 20 mins after but it was SO worth it ;)
Stay Pretty ;)
