I’ve been playing with Polyvore and Looklet a lot. Many of you might be wondering what is Looklet? Looklet is a place like Polyvore, but instead of having just random stuff, you have a model and you can style her however you want. I’m a total Looklet addict now and it’s Aurea’s fault (si, te culpo a ti n_n).
So here are some looks I’ve done on Looklet and some sets I’ve made in Polyvore:
So, how you’ve all been?
You know your laptop is old when…
Anyways, as predicted, the bad weather ended on Friday. Oh yeah, after a most terrible rain on Thursday, Friday was full of clear skies and sunshine see?
That little white thing-y is the moon at 9 am on Friday
Now this is what I call a nice Mexican Winter. Cold in the morning, hot during the day and cold at night again. Of course loads of sunshine (enough to make me grunt and whine but I love it!).
You know what I seriously dislike?
I really don’t like it when the professor says that they’re going to send info for the homework and send it late. I mean, if they want the homework done on time (in this case Friday night), then they should send the info before that and not late (like Saturday night). At least it was easy and fast to do, but still, it really irks me to end ¬¬.
My sister arrived really mad on Thursday, my mum told me that it was because her phone had broken down and being the “nice” sister that I am went to ask her about it (you know, see if I can help or at least Google the help) and she yelled at me. I just backed the hell off and let her be. The next day, my mum gave me her cell and after trying a lot of stuff, I had to format it to get it to work (it’s a Windows Mobile phone, I haven’t had that problem with mine). She wasn’t grateful but at least she wasn’t yelling anymore. Meh, I’ll never understand her moods.
And I have proof! Here:
Here he is spying on the neighbors, in case they are doing dodgy things
Here is sulking about me taking pictures of him (he doesn’t like pictures and he was moving a lot)
This is his “I just woke up” face
Getting ready to be chased around the backyard 
So cute :3
Oh yeah, I’m totally one of THOSE dog people.
Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t have class until 4pm, be jealous! XD
Today I decided to sort through my wardrobe.
I normally don’t do that because I end up not tossing stuff out because my mum always puts it back in ¬¬.
Today, I got my perfect chance. My parents were watching Twilight (again…) and I started to go through my wardrobe. I have 4 clothing racks and 5 drawers to keep everything I have. It’s a small walk-in-closet but still can hold a lot of stuff.
Basically I tossed like:
This is how it looked after it was all purged. The shoes I had already sorted through some other time and the bags are common ground so I can’t toss without my mum and sister to decide. We like to share bags. BTW, sorry about the bad pictures but my closet is so dark that flash was actually necessary (I don’t believe in turning on the lights unless it’s dark outside and/or I get dressed in the morning).
Leftover hangers, I’m so happy that at least none of my stuff is on wire hangers anymore.
Jeans and coats. Yes, I hang my sunglasses there because I have nowhere else to put them.
All my bags. I have hand bags, shoulder bag, clutches, messenger bags, tote bags… you name it, I have it!
Also my bass guitar and boxes with cables and sentimental stuff.
Hoodies! These are the ones I kept the most because they are the ones I wear the most. Also my old Maddox uniform.
Jackets, skirts and some dresses. I have more dresses but they hang on the door of the dressing room.
My shoes. I might make another cut sometime soon. Yes, I wear a lot of sneakers.
This is some of the stuff I gathered to toss out. Some is going to the trash, some other is for donating.
I also organized my drawers but I was too lazy to take pictures of that. I think that this might be the last OCD kick I’ll have until I go back to school. I love having OCD, seeing everything organized and de-cluttered always makes me happy. Besides, I’d rather giveaway items than to have them inside my dark closet gathering dust.
Next on the OCD kick:
I’m not a Virgo, but I get this awesome kick from cleaning and seeing everything clear and un-cluttered. It also feels like I’ve cleared up my entire life.
I now have to be even more creative with my wardrobe choices, I think! I still have a lot of clothes and it’s time to use them all. I have to toss in small piles so that my mum doesn’t notice and leaves me alone. Now it’s time to organize her part of the dressing room (we share the dressing room because her room has enough closet space for my dad only, plus I don’t mind at all).
Did I tell you that I finally have my car back? I love it! I can finally go out without depending on my dad and my sister doesn’t get to trash it anymore. Note to self: Add clean out car to the list.
Disclaimer: No I’m not an interior decorator, interior designer, architech or anything like that. I just decided to paint a wall because I wanted to paint a wall.
So I’ve been rambling on and on about what I want to do to change my bedroom. I’m seriously not moving anytime soon and it realy needed a change. You know, just because I wanted to make it mine, really mine. I moved into this house almost 5 years ago and my room has looked the same for that long. One day my parents decided to move and we brought all our stuff here and that was it. We just tidied up the place and that was our big move. I never really liked my bedroom. It is big, bigger than the one in the other house, I have a dressing room, a walk-in closet and a jacuzzi in my bathroom… but it never felt mine.
So I decided that the first step to make it mine was to get rid of that hideous wallpaper and paint the wall.
I went to Comex’s website to look for colours. Comex is a Mexican copany, so I knew that was te best place to look for colours because I would be sure to find tem easily and at good prices. So after fumbling with the website and finaly finding the colours I saw one that really caught my attention. It was like a weird magenta-pink-violet thingy and it’s name is Unicorn. Unicorn, I liked that name and then looked for the hexadecimal number (#ba6b95) and painted a huge chunk of space in Photoshop to see if I liked it.
I did like it… a lot!
Unicorn!
So we went to get the paint and some supplies to get the job done. Then the hard part started: ripping off that wallpaper!
It was so much harder than I thought it would be. You have no idea. I started ripping as much as I could while it was dry. Then I got it wet and with a spattula took as much as I could. I totally have a blister on my hand from doing that. The worst part was when I had to climb up a ladder to get the top part off (stupid high ceiling ¬¬). My mum helped me a lot and in a matter of hours we got the whole thing down.
The next part was to fill in all the holes and imperfections. My dad did that with some plaster mix we got at Home Depot and itwas really fast (luckily, the wall wasn’t that much damaged). Then we waited for it to dry and we started painting.
Comex’s paint is water based, so you just dillute the amount of paint in 15% of water and you’re ready to go. It also doesn’t smell and is washable.
All the cleaning I have done was for nothing. My desk was a mess and with the wall all bare, it looked just horrible. It stayed like this for two days while the repair and paint was going on.
Unicorn paint!
First coat of paint
Second coat!
The next day, I woke up and saw that there were huuuge white makrs on the wall so we did another coat. This is how it looked after the third coat.
Third coat!
In the afternoon, after painting.
At night with my lights on. My lightbulbs are yellow so the wall looks kind of orange.
I’m organizing the room again, and as soon as it gets done, I’m going to post more pictures of the wall. Right now we’re working on my sister’s room and yeah, we’ve turned into renovation central here. My mum really likes to get into these things o_O.
Today I was going to the Cafeteria to have lunch with Lau. As per usual, outside the cafeteria there is a stand about some product. This week, the stands were from Ciel (Bottled water brand by Coca~Cola) and the cool thing was that if you came and gave a water bottle (empty or full) they would give you a 1lt Ciel Bottle. Which is a very sweet deal if you ask me.
Today the dynamic was different, this time you had to buy a bottle and come in with your receipt, then punch a balloon and get a marked paper and you could get THIS!!!
It is a Messenger bag made from a used Airplane tire!!
“It used to be an airplane tire.”
I thought it was sooooo cool!! I mean, it smells like tire but still. How cool is that? It was $13 MXN (like $1 USD) and it can totally carry my laptop.
I think it is a win win for all of us n_n.
I’m going to be MIA for the next 3 weeks. I have finals and final projects coming up so, yeah, it’s going to be horrible. Wish me luck!
I can honestly say that this Hallowe’en has been the best one ever!! I got to dress up and hang out with my boys, what can be better than that?
But before we get into that let me give you a little update. Other than my schoolwork, things have been quite slow around here. I got my lights back on Sunday and then on Friday had another turn off because of a storm. Streets were completely flooded and it was horrible, luckily it wasn’t by my place… I think it’s one of the perk of living on top a hill and in the middle of a forest (the forest thing is loosely used a lot, I don’t really live in the middle of the woods, my neighborhood is located where a forest used to be and there’s still a bit of forest around, along with some raccoons). Anywhoo apart from the lack of electricity and general homework I’ve been fine n_n.
So, yesterday we all gathered at Shana Pol’s for a costume party!!!
Here’s what I wore:
I was supposed to be Effy Stonem from Skins, I don’t know if I got it quite right… anyways I loooved my make up.
I used this YouTube tutorial to do it because, let’s face it, I’m not good with make up at all 
.
I made my way to Shana Pol’s armed with soda and without my trusty “drug vial” T_T. I got there and saw:
Not one, but TWO!!!! Abbaths from Immortal
Nacho and GeNmA HAAAD to be the ones that repeated costumes, how random is that? I mean, it’s common to see two Jokers and two MJs but two Abbaths?? Only these two, I swear XDDD. I liked GeNmA’s wig and Nacho’s make up XDD.
OMG! A Beatle, Effy Stomen(Region 4*) and the Nostalgia Critic!!
Alekz dressed as an old school Beatle and Shana Pol was The Nostalgia Critic, in case you don’t know the Nostalgia Critic, here’s one of his videos:
There were other costumes like Javi’s, he was a pirate XDD and everyone wanted to touch him and not in a good way XDD.
Then we had others that I don’t know who they were… Sorry, I’m not that good at geek culture :/.
There are more pictures! You can see them here.
I hope you all had a Happy Hallowe’en n_n!
* Region 4 refers to the DVD viewing regions. Mexico’s is Region 4 so I’m a Mexican Effy Stonem XDD.
