Until Then

My baby still isn't fixed. Fingers crossed that it will be ready by next week, before I start school by the way. Sigh. Until then I just started a tumblr intitled My Fitted Charm that I've been using and obsessing over. Its really fun. So check it out if you miss me. And I'll be back soon. Hopefully.
So Love & Tumblr,

In 6 Months Time

OH MY! I haven't posted in over 6 months. If there is a prize for WORST BLOGGER OF THE YEAR then I'm definitely nominated and the favorite for winning. I have soooo much to talk about, but my laptop is broken and I'm posting this from the home computer in my family's house that is almost 10 years old and very slow. Hopefully my baby will be fixed soon because I have a lot of updates to do and summer assignments to finish. UGH. I'm going into my junior year of high school by the way and everyone I know is more excited for me than I am. More on that later. And I've wanted to give a reason why I've changed my blog's name so much. I finally found a winner and its "FITTED CHARM"! I'm so happy for the name and WILL keep it from her on out. The perfect reason I came up with it will be explained later. But today I felt like blogging but I couldn't post pictures because this computer will never accept them and will take forever to download. So, fingers crossed that my baby gets fixed until then I'll be making vlogs to fill in the gaps and later on a may just do a mass post of vlogs, unedited I might add. More on that later as well.

My Sixteen Candles

Today is my birthday! I'm so excited! I finally get to blow out 16 candles. For some reason I feel a lot better about this birthday than any other previous one. Even though I'm celebrating this on the eve of exam week I don't care because it is my day to enjoy. This day begins new things for me and I'm starting a bunch of things for a happier and improved me emotionally and physically like I said in my previous post.

In the meantime I'll be watching Sixteen Candles and completing review packets before this week of tests commences.
In the meantime I'll take pictures for you all to see how my day was.

So Love & Candles,

365 NEW Days for a Change

Happy New Year! I'm SO excited for this year, 2011, a year of new beginnings and changes. However, I want to give a little flashback of what happened for me in 2010

Last year as of midnight: I started this blog; finished my first year in high school; got my permit; found a way to express myself through clothes; made tons of new friends of different cliques; found a passion for the stage; lettered in Academics (yeah I'm a dork like that); won a student body election that was actually competition (Sophomore class Treasurer); went absolutely nowhere for summer break, but did summer assignments instead; started Sophomore year with a rocky academic start; went to my first homecoming; started a relationship; and dump a guy (I'm going to be honest with you I felt so guilty afterwards).

I can't believe all of these things have happened to me, but I want to honestly say I spent the year covering my true feelings up. I was a cynical and jealous 15 year old that envied people, kids at school who were better at everything than me, and other girls my age. I wanted what they had, but last night I realized that I needed to change a lot of things about myself. So I made some New Year's Resolutions; my honest Resolutions that I want to share with you.

1. Try not to be so CYNICAL/SARCASTIC.
2. Take better and much more needed care for my body.
3. Be more friendly and open to other people.
4. Appreciate the things that I have.
5. Work harder on my grades.
6. Learn to love the finer things in life (like turning 16).
7. Save more and spend LESS.
8. Sew more and learn how to style the pieces I already have.
9. Pay attention to detail.
10. Learn how to love myself and think of myself then being better than average.

A lot of these goals intertwine with each other. However, I really want to talk about my 2nd goal to take better care of my body. You may not know this, but I went to go see the doctor over break for a check-up and I found out that I'm 30 pounds overweight. Now I didn't believe it (my mom didn't either) because I never looked overweight since I'm 5'6. But the doctor said I was 150 lbs, a bit overweight, and advised my to eat lesser portions, watch my calorie intake, and exercise a little more than just dance. Let me make this clear: even though I'm still growing and my body is changing I'm not going to honestly depict every single thing I eat and hate myself afterwards for being so big in the first place. I'm going to think of it as a way to a better me. I'm going to watch what I eat and go on a Weight Watcher's plan that my mom and I created. It will be an at home plan and I'm committing myself to this because I know it will lead to a better, more self-confident, and kinder person. I have foods to try, plans and advise to keep me motivated, and new exercise routines to do. My goal is to get down to 125 lbs by the end of the year. I'll try to keep you guys posted about how I'm doing as I go. I won't start until Monday because I'm stalking up on foods to eat and figuring out a schedule of less surfing the web and more exercising/studying. With luck this will be the start of a better me.

On a happier note I did draw my resolutions out, but I tried to take a picture and it didn't come out well so I'm waiting until my mom gets home to take one with her camera. Until then I'm sending you lots of love for 2011. I hope this year will bring you 365 New Days for a Change!
