You get choices in life that you often take while thinking what would happen if you said otherwise.
You make decisions so capable of turning back and regretting it one day, week or year later.

Making these choices are inevitable and hard to avoid and you often feel the aftermaths of it all so acutely.

I think im feeling that now, and to be honest it feels very shit.

JC Coltranes are $190

Sorry Jeffrey Campbell i'm not a money tree i'll just have to buy a replica :(

first impressions

Do you ever have that one guy that you faintly know but you want to be friends with or at least mutually know who you are? 

So there's this one guy at my tutoring that I've known since last year when I started and my friends all think he looks like a weirdo with all that hair and ugly ugly shorts but i really thought he was a nice guy. 

Like he's the type where he'd crack lame jokes in class, make weird faces to his friends, tease the teacher, and although he isn't that intelligent he sounds like someone who is pretty fun to talk to. Weirdly this led me into appreciating his bird nest of a hair- which is actually pretty good seeming that it's natural and not permed to be that poofy- as well as his sense of style (yet my friends still diss the time he came to class in purple 3 quarters with shell patterns on them) 

though people are like "jeez ann you should just add him on fb blahblah message him balhblah" i felt like that was pretty weird. for one we don't know each other except for this little conversation i had with him after i spilt shit on the floor once and two i feel like if you've met someone in real life that you're not close to/don't really know know, adding them on facebook is really out of bonds.

so yeah, not trying to sound weird, but all this time i've been making up this image in my head and thinking that his one of those funny class clown people who could be pretty subdued and nice at the same time and that i just really want to be friends with him. 

anyway, this all went lopsided when i was on a mutual friend's twitter and his twitter got mentioned. Turns out he is a douchebag guy.

Okay i don't want to be a judgemental bitch but you know the ones that swear excessively. like serious excessively like (#SOMC - please dont try to find what this means, fck this fck that in every sentence), calls his girl friends as 'whore' 'bitches' and 'cunts' no jokingly and is so consciously stupid he doesnt think when he says shit. 

SUCH A TURNOFF. immediate turnoff. I really don't know how guys think this is the attitude to attract other girls or even be 'cool' cause this is just very douchey. 
okay you know what maybe if you had a cleaner mouth and a better attitude, you'd get more friends, but don't look like so at the moment.

idk i just get so pissed off at these things. it's like you know that this person could be better and actually is but cause they want to be so cool and topshit they have to act like a douchebag who finds its fun to act like a jerk. or maybe he's just like that normal. ermegawd first impressions are so offtrack. can i just please have some personality reading machine so i'll be able to know who to approach and who to think of so highly about jeez. 

NOVEMBER FAVOURITEEES.

nts: this would be a scheduled post due to the heap of posts made during my boredom :)

So HEY IT'S DECEMBER. hahahahas. November came with loads of drama, exposing of feelings, realisation of who's your real friends, as well as the spastic whether that sends you to the freezer every 20mins of your shift. But overall, November was fun,so here are my favourites yay :)

1. Travis Garland- Diamonds/Adorn Cover
I am not really a fan of Diamonds. I don't know but to me, i think this is just Rihanna's attempt of trying to get into the grungish genre like Lana Del Ray. But this is just my opinion. But Travis! hahahs okay he is something so different. He is such an amazing singer and his range is pretty big and yeah. 
 Also, I'd like to show you guys to something more acoutic and free-thinking. I was on a vlogger's tumblr and happened to find this song in their recommended playlist and, the whole november, it has looped itself on my youtube :)
There's no vocals in it, it's just acoustic with loads of piano and when I listen to this I imagine myself on a train ahahs. okay i'm so weird anyhoos.


 2. Yukar- Michita

3. CANDLES
Okay so I'm really not a fan of candles because some can just over-smell hahaas. yeah i dont know it can just get very "too-much" and yeah. But recently I got those small samples in the mail from The Candle Shack, which is a shop that sells Soy Candles - pretty interesting. I got three (but the other one mum hid somewhere that's turned it invisible) including Strawberries & Cream, Grape Expectations and Pineapple Mango. The Grape one is by far the greatest for the scent smells so nice but doesn't overdo it so you just get this sweet light smell. 
Also, if you didn't know, I recently attended my cousins wedding and she had candles for each guest. I got the green candle (Fig and Frangipani) and it's sososoos nice and I think she got it at Kmart hahas. So i just basically hang them around my house because my dad doesn't trust me lighting them up and they just give off this really nice faint smell :)


 3. Silver Elastic Watch
So grandma recently came home from her american adventures and she gave me this watch she thought was cute. I like how the face is not bulky so it looks pretty neat and oomhp silver watches in general :P though i still can't quit the habit that I would just rummage through my pocket for my phone to check the time even when i have it on :L should learn to drop that.


 4. Golden Gaytimes!
So November came with heaps of wild weather including the scorching sun and it seriously sucks to be doing fries in 40 degrees heat. So when mum splurged on 3 boxes of these i took my chances of getting flabby and think i munched down a box's worth in a week.


 5. Japanese Cherry Blossom triple moisture body cream
So this cream was given to me by my grandma from America. Due to vlog reviews and hauls that I've been watching on facebook I have heart about this for quite some time but never really wanted it because I don't use body creams much often hahahs probably cause I'm just too lazy for them. BUT THIS SMELLS AMAZING. And its so smooth on your skin and you feel like a babys butt after it hahahahas.

6. PEZ CANDY. 
Okay calm down Ann ahhahas. Okay I'm not going to lie, this wanting of Pez Candy came from my friend as well as this french movie I was watching in class. But I saw the dispenser and was like ermegawd i must have that- hahahas typical Violet from Charlie and the Cho Fact. saying :P- So yeah I've been crazily hunting for one and I finally found one at Big W and rejoiced at the Limitied Edition glitter one hahahas. Okay don't diss but the head it glittery! And it was like $2 which is a steal compared to $2.50 at someplace else. 

Though I got disappointed after trying them out. Cause it was my first time - yeah, i had a pretty sad childhood hahahs- i thought the pez candy would be like chewy, like maoams or something along those lines. But it's hard. and artificial. Like you know those types of candy where you're just like:"Too much sugar. too much flavour. too fake"..? Yeah i got that feeling. But still, its a pretty good mood brightener hahahs. 
So yeah thats all for today for my november favourites!
I'm reaaaaally excited for December because it's Christmas season and that just means loads of fun and gift exchanging and friend dinners :)

I've also recently bought some stuff online as well as my friends buying them for me so im just sosososos excited for them to come to take photos and post them on here yewww :) 
Sarah said the Taobao things she got for me would be coming by the end of this week so fingers crossed they would arrive :))
This week i'm also thinking of going shopping for my friend's birthday present as well as exchanging jojo's skirt to a smaller size because it's just beautiful but sadly too loose. I also want to get a hold of some fabric, preferably jacard, to make some skirts with that as well :) Already finished one but it's like butt short which doesn't help so hahahahs gotta get more fabric gahs. 

Also went on an asos bargain hunt yesterday and got these pair of pants for so cheap gosh lksjdlkjdlasjdlaksd. okay so they're butt shorts but i'm thinking of just buying a maxi cardi so i could hide my butt because i don't want people to be staring at shit.

Friday is also kk day which is both exciting plus nerveracking because IM SO AFRAID JASMINE WONT LIKE MY PRESENT :(


okay so i got her something for really expensive as well as complimentary things for it - and i'll post of pictures of those things on friday night after we exchange gifts- but I have a feeling she out of that phase where she wants what i got her. I know she's not the type to be like :"uhhh this is crap gtfo." cause i know she'd be happy with what she gets but i don't want to be an uncaring bitch and get her something crappy. 
As my friend what i should do and they're giving me mixed responses idek.


So i ended up going shopping today and getting her some (2) makeup essentials cause she's really into makeup now. The complimentary thing wont arrive until god knows when because it's so crappy so at least i'll be able to give her something on the day so she can be happy about. 

okay sorry for the rambling the flu meds are getting to me. BUT OMG LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL. FREE EARRINGS HEOHEOHEOHEO. too beaut :)

 
have a great december :)

A week of bore

Mhmms title says all.

Anyways on Monday had school where we pretty much did nothing. Watched a doco in Science, had Zumba, did poetry again in English, boring Maths period, bitchy textiles period, done.

Tuesday helped out at the Premiers Gala Concert! It actually was amazing cause i felt so good helping old people and seeing them have such a good time. I was placed in a group with nish ang kristie and tan and our group leader was this sassy guy Peter who was so hilarious and goddamn sassy :L

Showed a couple of ladies to the wrong section though and got told offas well as bumping into another lady who gave me a dirty. But other than that it was fun :)

Wednesday was Christmas concert so i missed out classes yew hahahas. Was in charge of the green room with the radio and megaphone was xinnaby but the start of the day we just ran around and did loads of work.

Afterschool went with jasmine to go to gloss and she bought so much makeup for maddies party hahas. Then went to this new shop next to topshop called CosmoCosmetics, met up with angel and sarah and looked for some other shit. Then went to pepperlunch.

Okay so pepperlunch really isnt that nice idk what the hype. i had this beef rice thing which is such a waste cause its only rice and corn and beef like people just liles it cause it sizzles. Met up with kristie and then we webt to meet fresh :)

Okay so the weird meet fresh story starts here :L we wanted to get the taro ball no.4 but without the taro pieces and when kristie ordered the ladies like "you want taro or herbal jelly" and angel was like HERBAL JELLY HERBAL JELLY. In the end we got herbal jelly no. 4 which had no yellow taro balls in them hahahas which we really wanted.
So sarah was lile fck this lets just buy seperate taro balls and the guy sold it lile 8 for 30c so we bought 24 hahahas and the guy there was just like wtf crazy kids cause we just sat there eatting all these taro balls so happily.

And then kristie was just lile omg lets get more but we had enough money to get taro balls no. 4 so we ordered another one. Hahahas.

Started getting panicky that we couldnt get back in time so we ran from town hall to museum station buses with full stomaches like weirdos hahahas.

Came back the quickest and started preparing for the show which had so shit organisation.
Or so there wa ppose to be a green room which was the campbell hall but surbey locked it and so people flocked to the pd rooms which had no programs cause they were all stuck up in the campbell hall.

And then Henshaw was like every performer should be down the hall and wathing the performances and were like the fck how would they know when to go and prepare for their performances the fk we cant megaphone them in the hall. One of the stage managers, this year 9 shit was so bad and what she was doing like she was somewhere nowhere half the time and i got so pissed off, even jasmine was as well and i was lile omg jasmine just get the walkie off her she not doing anything.

Finished and got home sick, took the day off.

Came to school on friday was sooo boring and now getting ready to goto work :) quick update due to rushed time so sorry :)

"cool" people

"cool" people: people who think theyre so cool and superior that act unsociable and stupid.

Person: hey you from my tutoring?
?
:/
Me: yup hahas hey
Person: ohh
alrighty then
End of convo

The fck you serious okay first off uou started the convo please sont tell me that you dont know how to continue something so simple as "hey"

ughs immediate turnoff IMMEDIATE.

Honesty Corner: 01: Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.

ask me more at: http://www.formspring.me/itsanntran
01: Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is. 

hahahas mhmm i knew someone would ask me this, i think i know who this is because they've been questioning me this for ages. But right now I'm single.

hahas for a while it's been pretty complicated cause me and this guy used to have mutual feelings for each other yet i told him i didn't want to be in a relationship and we kept going back and forth. But yeah, single. 

I really don't mind being single though. To be honest there are so many times when I get jealous of people around me who are in the cutest relationships and I wished that I was in one alike that as well but I think I just have too many things happening around me most of the time to care about these things. Being around a group of friends who are single really does make it better cause - though they can be annoying cause there are so picky and judge guys from the smallest things that are so superficial- we'd make jokes and statements about how these things doesnt faze us and yeah hahahs. 

To be perfectly honest I don't see why some people have this desperation to get on the couple bandwagon. Being single allows me to spread out so much more and talk to people more freely and even able to have stupid meaningless crushes towards some people without people telling me I shouldn't. Maybe people are just desperate for that physicality of being in a relationship; like having someone to hold hands with or to maybe to have someone to 'own'. Of course I do want to have some sooner or later but I'm just not desperate. what will come will come? hahahhas.

Honest Corner:08: A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

08: A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

i truly can't pinpoint a time that I felt most satisfied with my life. I've had many personal achievements that might not even account to much in the long run but, to me, it made me feel really great. 

some great moments I've kept in mind:


1. Getting interviewed for my first job
I tried out for a cashier job at a local supermarket around end of last term. To me it was a huge challenge because it was my first time I'll be walking to the place, asking to meet the manager, and asking him if he had any jobs available. The easy step of applying online and going to a planned interview wasn't there for me. And I was really afraid of first time rejection and just seriously nervous that I had to bring a friend along to calm me hahahs. So when I finished my unplanned interview with the manager and got myself a first shift, it felt really good.

2.  Helping a friend get over a heartbreak
hahahs from time to time I still congratulate myself for this hahas. At that moment he was going through a rough time cause his ex was being a passive bitch (unintentionally but at the same time repetitively) yet he still liked her and afterwards he was just very emotional and close to turning into a cat lady ("i feel so sad ermegawd girls are so mean i don't think i can go through this shit anymore."). Talking to him everyday to make sure he's a-okay and doing the randomest things like acting weird and crazy (not that i'm not already hahahas) apparently helped him to get over the relationship and it felt real nice when he thanked me and was like "yeah i feel really good now, i think i've moved on". Iunno, when I see that I've helped someone i really care about, it's a pretty satisfying moment. 

3. Being around mah family!
Okay, cliche cliche cliche omg why is ann such a cheesy kid but I'm always satisfied with just being around my family. So much shit things happen, we fight a lot and get into arguements but I think I'm the luckiest person alive to have such people that love and care for me so much.
 My grandma's the type of person that if i need anything, and i swear ANYTHING from random fruit cravings, random fabric needs, and midnight snacks, she'd get it for me without any complaint. She is such a swell person that when I overeact and treat her shit she doesn't keep it in and still loves me.
 My dad is a caring person- though sometimes he can be so traditional and his logic is just crazy. He may seem so agro all the time but things like going out at night and weird things that I want he would scream at me at first but then let me go. And, although he's rough, he really does care for my wellbeing and education and I never want to let him down. 
My mum is the sweetest nicest kindest woman you would ever meet. She is so young at heart and dedicated to the family she'd rather spend time at home then go out with her friends once a week. She is so incredibly cute when she tries and converses with my friends in english and always see how i'm going and we'd have these d&ms together about everything. 
Tina. Tina is the most annoying, irritating, hard-headed, demanding person that I've ever known but I just love her sososos much. I can rant to her comfortably about things i can't talk to myparents about like my shit grades, my workplace, guys, annoying personal things and she cares for me a lot. 

Just being together and spending time as a whole family on weekends means so much to me. I just love sitting around the table -TVless- and just eat while basking in such warm atmosphere. I feel like the most spoilt kid alive.
