goodbye Toronto, hello California

DECA blazer...if only they were smaller and slim fit...I would wear it XD

YAY! since its the 27th, it's TODAY where I head off to CALIFORNIA for a good week. Get a week off from school =D, but downside is I have to memorize my ass off for the multiple presentations i'll be making for DECA. What did I get myself into? LOL ... but w.e, it's a good ''experience'' that's what they all say. With the few hours I have left until I head off, i'm procrasinating...yet again. Just finished up the ppt presentation, spent 2 hrs looking for suitable pictures! Now i'm still in the process of packing. FML I just hope i'll get my ass up on time in the morning. =P

Bringing my favorite pair of converse, vintage boots, Hoki gladiators, Minnetonka's

Toiletries a.k.a the most annoying part of packing

Trash & Luxury? In my case, this is trash.

UGH! I guess its a cute top from Trash & Luxury, but for the price of $65 plus tax..can't believe I bought it; plus...its unrefundable now since I returned the reciept back to the store when I exchanged my Cheap Monday "Increase the Peace" tank for a wilfred pocket tank. I guess it'll still look cute matched up with a pair of shorts and a pair of sandels or converse. XD

Lyrics to a song

create

Accepted

I bursted out in tears as soon as I opened the letter from Ryerson. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder. I've been worrying for the longest time ever since March! I thought my life had ended =='' now I can finally graduate with a smile on my face, heading off to University. Looking forward to the next four years! New friends, new lifestyle, new attitude, new home!! =D

Oh sh*t

Just when I was about to sleep...
...oh sh*t!

Religion

245.00 GBP

Need more sleep...

The average needs 7-8 hours of shut-eye...I get 5 or less.

I don't even know what I do late at night. I just love to browse.

Long ass day tomorrow...X.X

Good Night

"BIG 5IVE"

Because I'm just this weird...

The Big Five factors and their constituent traits can be summarized as follows:

Openness - appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.

Conscientiousness - a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior.

Extraversion - energy, positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation and the company of others.

Agreeableness - a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.

Neuroticism - a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; a.k.a emotional instability.

O - The trait distinguishes imaginative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. People who are open to experience are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more creative and more aware of their feelings. They are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs.
People with low scores on openness tend to have more conventional, traditional interests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. Closed people prefer familiarity over novelty. They are conservative and resistant to change.

examples: I am full of ideas. I am quick to understand things. I have a rich vocabulary. I have a vivid imagination.

C - The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior. It influences the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. Conscientiousness includes the factor known as Need for Achievement (NAch).
The benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious individuals avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence. They are also positively regarded by others as intelligent and reliable. On the negative side, they can be compulsive perfectionists and workaholics.

examples: am always prepared. I am exacting in my work. I follow a schedule. I like order. I pay attention to details.

E - The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.
Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and activity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and less involved in the social world. Their lack of social involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression. Introverts simply need less stimulation than extraverts and more time alone.

examples: I am the life of the party. I don't mind being the center of attention. I feel comfortable around people. I start conversations.

A - The trait reflects individual differences in concern for social harmony. Agreeable individuals value getting along with others. They are generally considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their interests with others. Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and trustworthy.
Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with others. They are generally unconcerned with others’ well-being, and are less likely to extend themselves for other people. Sometimes their skepticism about others’ motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly, and uncooperative.

examples: I am interested in people. I feel others’ emotions. I have a soft heart. I make people feel at ease. I take time out for others.

N - Those who score high in neuroticism are emotionally reactive and vulnerable to stress. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish a neurotic's ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with stress.
At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are less emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative feelings. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive feelings. Frequency of positive emotions is a component of the Extraversion domain.

examples: I am easily disturbed. I change my mood a lot. I get stressed out easily. I have frequent mood swings. I worry about things.

Why do I feel like I fit more in with A & N? T___________T
Sometimes.......I can be a bit of A & E? LOL
Most definetly not C. ==''

Gucci tote

If only I was a male, I could raid my dad's closet :P
He asked if I could fit into his shoes & clothes. I know im fat, but..=='' omg all his Prada shoes and jackets. wahaha
Now I have to think of a good excuse to steal his long rectangular large leather Gucci tote (I still love the classic styles)...all I have is the ugly cloth one in black from way back :(
