Exam tomorrow, Procrastinate today!

So I know absolutely NOTHING about tomorrows exam except the fact that I know I will fail. So much content and there is so little time so I pretty much just keep putting off learning everything because there is so much. FML. I'm not even kidding about how little I know. Pretty sure I stopped going to lectures the last 5 weeks before exams which is everything we are being assessed on, so it kinda might have been slightly useful for me to go the those lectures since I now can't be stuffed to read them. So it's not just that I don't remember learning it or I can't retain the information, it is pure 'got no clue what the fudge anything is' because I have never heard of it before.

Monkey Icons Yoyo SuperMonkey Winks 
Literally every time I try to study, I will open my lecture notes, read a few sentences and then it's time for a nap or to eat or to find new music or to play the piano or blog. Basically anything but study. 
On top of all that crap, I feel awful, I feel like crap. I believe I have residual nausea after the events of last night. So I woke up last night after sleeping for approximately less than an hour with excruciating pain in my lower abdominal region and the feeling of vomiting. I tried to fight the pain and just fall back to sleep hoping that through sleep it can be ignored. After about 2mins of more torture, I realized this wasn't going away anytime soon. So I went to the bathroom which was a mission in itself. I could barely move without any pain and I was so worry because the nausea was worse on movement. I finally got to the bathroom, which btw is next to my room so travelling that small distance is example enough of how sick I was. Because of the pain in my stomach I found it so difficult to bend over the toilet bowl and vomit. Nothing was going well for me. I eventually did vomit and it was basically pure stomach acid, gross I know. After the first initially involuntary ejection of contents I still felt sick so I continued to vomit by inducing it. The nausea kinda went away and the abdominal pain was lessened. I had to sleep in a slightly raised upper portion position for the rest of the night to prevent anymore back ups. So I concluded my episode to a combination of too much liquid before bed and then having to sleep in a supine position, preventing a gravitational movement of the liquid and too much dessert throughout the night. I'm gonna say it was mostly likely the dessert that was the driving force of the incident but I like to think that I'm not a huge fatty and the water did make a difference. All that yucky-ness is still kinda lagging around. Hopefully I won't wake up tonight with the feeling of puking up a lung. 
So through my procrastination I have decided to buy a watch. Yippie Hooray!!! This is a watch that I've been wanting for awhile now but I was just kinda lazy to look into it plus it is an American brand so it doesn't exists in Australia  and shipping was just such a hassle and dreaded fear of mine. But thanks to exam time procrastination I have found a site that will ship it to me for freeeeeee! because I go over a certain price limit which isn't hard because this is hell-a expensive. And I'm buying two lol I'm getting one for my brother's fiance' (Oh yeah, for all my friends that are reading which is probably the only people who do read this blog, btw my brother is engaged!). She said that she liked the black ones but also like the white one. So now I have a dilemma of choosing which one to get her. Why can't people just be easy!

















So these are the ones I'm looking at for her. I'm leaning towards the third and fourth one but urgh I don't know. I'd hate it if I got one that she didn't like. And of course she wouldn't say that she didn't like it but sometimes you know in your heart how they feel.  

Okay seriously, look at these pretty watches!!! I'm tossing up between these two for me and I really like the right one because of the embellished sparkles but I really like the white with rose gold strap color on the left.  
All the above shown watches range from about $200-$400. I think the ones I want are in the $200 boarding $300 range. These watches don't rely on batteries but have automatic winding movements. Meaning if you don't wear it for about 3 or 4 days then the watch will stop ticking but if you wear it again, it will start right back up as a reaction to the natural motion of your arm. I assume you would have to fix the time but this saves battery life and makes the time piece last longer. 
I am super super excited to get one, once I decided which one to get lol

I am not even kidding when I say I want you to leave a comment (anonymous or not) about which one you think I should get for myself and get for my brother's fiance' 

Anyway its 9:50pm now so I really should get back to studying EVERYTHING ugh! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow, if I'm not dead by the trauma or I can manage to scrap myself off the bathroom floor soaked in my tears. 
Let's see how that goes Monkey Emoticon

Exams are arsebags!

 2 exams down and 2 to go! 
Now I feel like I pretty much bombed both assessments so clearly my head isn't in the game this semester. I know I passed both of them but I kinda wanted to do better than just pass. 
De-pressed Monkey Icon okay lol not that depressed :P Don't freak out guys! Not gonna kill myself.
Tomorrow's exam, yeah tomorrow! a Saturday!! is at 8:30 which means I have to wake up, latest by 7:00am but knowing me the massive nut case I am, I'm either gonna wake up at 5:00 or just no sleep AT ALL fml who needs sleep, right? lol
Let me show you a little re-enactment of the last few weeks using my cute monkey emoticons ^^ 
This is what I look like during study:

Monkey Emoticon WHAT THE SHIT!!! excuse me while I cry a never ending riverMonkey Emoticon 
This is what my parents look like when I tell them of my shit results:
Monkey Winks WHYYYYY YOUUUU NOOOOO SMARTTTT!!!! 
I am seriously not exaggerating. This is a true depiction, no lies! 
Maybe it's not helping that I'm blogging during exams hmmm... I can re-think that later. 


So other than sleeping during study week I also eat like A LOT. 
STUDY FOOD!! I convince myself that I actually need this stuff HAHA what a big fat belly of lies!

On a more fun note! I wanna see what I bought!? yeah ya do! 
Mae Movement bracelets!!! Whoop Whoop!!!
What are Mae Movement bracelets you ask? Good question! Well click the link and you can find out. In its simplest for it is a bracelet and the proceeds go towards women in nepal. Each bracelet is hand made which means every single bracelet is one of a kind. I think that is super special to have a bracelet that is totally different from everyone else's and no one can have the exact same one, not only that but it is also being contributed to a better cause. These bracelets are really pretty and I just HAD to get one after seeing them plastered all over youtube channels. So they are each $15 or 3 for $35 so I got 3, and yeah it is a little bit pricey for just a few bracelets but it's going to a good cause and plus there are heaps more stuff out on the market that looks absolutely horrible and more expensive. I choose the colors rose gold, champange, and bright pink but because they are one of a kind, it is probably going to turn out differently than what is displayed on the site but I am still super excited to see how they turn out. So that should be arriving in the mail most likely next month or longer. I don't expect them anytime soon since it will take a while to make plus the rose gold color is on backorder and it is from the US so international shipping will take at least 2 weeks. So add all that up together and basically by the time they'll get here, I will have totally forgotten about them.
Definitely check it out if you are looking for some pretty bracelets.
Okay back to studying now!!! Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.

♡ HAUL ♡

It's amazing I actually still have money left to buy stuff with! lol David Jones at Robina is currently having a massive sale. So of course I had to take a look around before it was too late hehehe :P
Sock from Alanah Hill 
This silver ones are super CUTE ♡ I love the frill ♡ 
These lacy ones are really pretty  
GAH!!! I am in LOVE with my new bag!!! Monkey Icons Cici
Steve Madden Red Embossed bag that was discounted from $119 to $83.30
Purchased a present for a very special friend who is near and dear to me Monkey IconI cant love her enough ♡ 
Swatch-ed a few nail polishes while I was shopping. I really like the green one. It dries matte and it is shimmery. I didn't buy any though. The gold on my pinkie is/was my original nail polish.

That pretty much it for what I bought. While I was in robina shopping, about 30mins into it there was a stabbing in the shopping center. Totally freaky! I was a little wigged out especially because it was two 15 year old girls and everyone else around seemed so cavalier. Hmmm... life goes on I guess.

♡ HAUL ♡

Who likes shopping!? I like shopping!!!
LOL I legit just sang that in my head therefore if you read that normally, you HAVE to go back and sing it along with me ^^ YAY sing-a-long 
Hoki Doki. It's time for another HAUL lol actually, I just like spending money hehehe
There honestly was no good reason as to why I bought what I bought today. I just wanted it and I trieddd to talk myself out of it. But I just wouldn't listen to myself. Goshhh I'm so stubborn!  

I've heard A LOT of good things about Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. So I thought I'd head to my local Myer and check it out. Whilst there I realized that I needed a new powder. Now if I was able to continue my Sydney story, you would know why I need a new powder. I posted not too long ago about a newly purchased a Revlon Photoready Powder foundation so it's not like I've run out already and I wouldn't buy a new product when I have a perfectly fine one. No, I didn't leave it in Sydney (technically) and no, I didn't lose it. 


You will get a chance to find out about that in the coming days but for now let stay on topic. Anyway I checkout out the powders and after much deliberation I purchased both the foundation and the powder. Which by the way was pretty hefty prices, they were not cheap at all. 

So this is the packaging it comes in. Pretty standard Chanel make-up item packaging. The one on the bottom left is a bit of a surprise :) hehehe






So this is the compact powder in Translucent 2 30 Naturel. It  also comes in loose form which is HUGE and a bit cheaper. So I technically had to pay more for less but just more convenience. I am actually super excited to try this out. I tested it out on the back of my hand and it felt SO soft and velvety. I was so amazed! I can't wait to see how this will turn out on my face.  


That is what the foundation looks like. I got it in B10 Beige Pastel. It has SPF 15 in it and it is also water based. I've heard super great things about it so I have high expectations. Hopefully it lives up to all the hype. 
When I was still just looking, the Chanel lady informed me about their new release Vitalumiere Aqua Cream Foundation. So it's basically the same thing but in cream form and would come in a compact style. This seemed appealing to me also and I've kinda been getting sick of having to use my hands for make-up application all the time. I was a bit worried about it because the texture of the product would be more creamer and since I have oily skin, cream foundations don't look too great on me. So I just stuck with the liquid. However when I was purchasing the two products, the lady was kind enough to give me a sample of the cream. So I think I will try that first tomorrow and if I like it, I might even go return the liquid and buy the cream. Hmmm we'll see. So that was the little surprise I mentioned earlier hehe. Surprise!! 











So the next place I headed to was David Jones to check out MAC because I wanted to get the eyebrow set. BUT I got distracted on my way there and saw the super cute bag in MIMCO. I went into the store JUST to look and it really was a cute bag. I really wanted it, maybe if it was $300 lol But I looked around a bit more and saw these super cute clips. They were discounted to $15 for one set of two, originally they were $24.95. These clip also came in blackish grey and browish but I liked the multi red color ^^ 
Then I saw these stockings which were discounted ridiculously. Originally these stockings were $39.95 but I bought them for $10. Amazing or what!? Others were $20 but that's because the originally price was higher also. I'm not too sure about the quality yet because I haven't opened or tried it yet but I'm hoping for stockings that were originally $39.95, they would be pretttyyy good. I only bought one because I was worried about sizing and quality but if I like them, I'll go back and get more. The only thing is that AFTER I bought it the lady informed me that there was a thicker version and these weren't as warm. I guess these would be good from windy summer days. I might go back and buy the thicker ones for winter.

So after my little side track, I purchased the MAC Eyebrow Set. Nothing much to say about this product but it is my first ever MAC product. Oh! MAC virginity, gone :P 


I'll do an update/review on all this stuff (except for the clips lol) after a sufficient amount of trial time. Hopefully the next post will be about Sydney though. I hate not knowing and not being able to tell you everything while it is still fresh. The hype over Sydney has kinda subsided in me and even somethings I kinda have to jog my memory. Hopefully when I do post the rest, I don't leave anything out.
Until then readers Monkey Emoticons stay fresh yo yo! 


Including this add on:
So I went back to the MIMCO store today because the stockings were AMAZING! These are really good quality stockings and a pretty good price. The only thing is that these are pretty high maintenance stockings. The washing instructions say to hand wash in warm water using mild soap. Now that is pretty specific but it goes on. It has to be drip dried in the shade, not to me tumble dried or ironed and it's got to be kept separate from other clothing items to prevent staining. LOL!! These were made in Italy and I swear almost anything from Italy is high maintenance but mostly ONLY hand washing which has made me come to the conclusion that the Italians have yet to discover this amazing invention call the washing machine lol I went and bought more stockings even though they have stupid high maintenance washing instructions (not that I'd listen to them anyway). 
I got three but one is for my mother. The first one isn't poka dots but like slightly see-through kind od dots. Sounds weird but it looks good. Then the ones behind that is the same as the ones I first purchased but the thicker/shiny version which is for my mummy. And the last one is like a slightly see-through strip-y style. The only thing is that when I picked them up I made extra sure to get the all in S/M because that is the size the will fit my height. But the store lady got some new ones from the back and when I got home I realised that two of them, the thick one and the dot one are M/L which are too long for me and my mum. I tried the dot one on and it's pretty bearable so I don't think I'll go back and change them. I don't even think MIMCO allows for swaps or refunds on sale items which is so silly but whatever, I'll live I guess :( 
Other than that mishap, first experience with MIMCO stockings is pretty darn amazing. I really like these stockings and I recommend getting some while it is still on sale. 
These ones were the $19 ones so I paid $57 for the three. Such great deals for great quality. Usually going to Myer and buying a pair of stockings there, the cheapest is $20-$30 and I'd be lucky to get equally as great of quality as these ones for that price.

Getting my head back in the game!

So lately I've been super tired and just plain unmotivated to do ANYTHING! I'm not in the mood to do any studying or assignment work. I'm not really up for going out, I mostly have to force myself or give myself a pep-talk which sounds so lame because it is lol (no offense to people who actually pep-talk them selves into doing daily living activities). Not only have I had a huge lack of motivation because when it comes to school or uni work, I swear everyone can say the same thing. But lately I've been more tired even when I've had a good nights sleep. I could get to uni and sit in the library trying to read at least a paragraph and just want to take a nap. It's the type of tiredness that I'm not use to, usually taking a nap would solve the problem but not lately. And since exams are just around the corner, I can't stand for this lack of input into uni right now. I'm getting super sick of myself and today was the last straw! I went to uni bright and early and basically I have nothing to show for being there from 8am-6pm. It's sad and pathetic and down right sicking! 
I think I should also mention that I have iron deficiency anemia so it's not all completely my fault. I don't take any medication or supplements for it because it's usually pretty under control or at least mild enough that I don't notice the effects and on normal days it doesn't really effect me or get in the way of doing daily living activities. However some times if I go out shopping with friends, I might get a huge hit of tiredness and just need to sit down or I need to take a break or sometimes I'm kinda not with-it anymore like my presence is gone? lol if that even makes any sense. But other than that I'm pretty well off. I think the stress of exams and maybe I haven't been eating enough red meat lately, I don't know, whatever. Maybe a combination of all those things have really been hitting me hard recently.
So for the coming days I have decided to get my head back in the game. I've stocked up on iron supplements and a natural supplement to help with memory and brain function. 
Yay for protein bars too!! Hopefully this tastes nice. I was at the checkout line and I swear this is how they make extra money. While waiting in line, you glance at the variety of lollies and healthy bars they have RIGHT INFRONT of you lol so I was tempted to see if this bar would help me throughout the day.
LOL Look at this MASSIVE pill compared to the tiny iron one. Haha oddly enough, it was actually easy to swallow. I've had pills that were smaller than this but still pretty big and it would hurt like a B**** going down the throat. 


Anyway I'm so keen for tomorrow to see if these work. 
I need energy. I need motivation. I need focus. 
And I NEED results!
Another day of studying, come at me!
