Beginnings 4 (Vitamin E oil & B&BW)

2012-01-04T23:58:00.000-05:00

So like the average teenager, occasionally I break out. Thankfully, I don't have horrible acne, just periods of breaking out. Recently, however, I was breaking out for a long time & it left a lot of marks, so my sister told me to put this Vitamin E oil on my face before I sleep & it should help my marks. After using it for about 4-5 days, there is a pretty evident lightening of my marks. :) The

Beginnings 3 (Homework break)

2012-01-03T23:32:00.000-05:00

Uno: My news resolutions are failing so far :( Dos: NaBloPoMo is very hard to do when your sleep schedule is wacky and you're awake during school and at night. Tres: I think I should make resolution #5: Fall asleep the day BEFORE I need to wake up. (aka not in early morning hours) Cuatro: That's sort of a restatement of fixing my sleep schedule. Cinco: Why am I numbering this in Spanish? As I'm

Beginnings 2 (Hearing Problems?)

2012-01-02T22:23:00.001-05:00

Hello! Back to school today, finals next week...and fixing the sleep schedule didn't work so well the first day... Quick post because I need to get back to homework. :) I did a "test" for Anatomy & Physiology as a part of a lab. It required taking a hearing test on www.testmyhearingonline.com. The results told me I may be experiencing mild to significant hearing loss. :O Surprised, but then I

Beginnings 1 (NY Resolutions)

2012-01-01T20:05:00.001-05:00

Day 1 of NaBlaPoMo, Day 1 of 2012...I liked this popular tweet last night: "Chapter 2012, Page 1 of 366" (Leap year!) it's an interesting way to say it :) While I'm a goal-oriented person, I've never made New Years resolutions. After watching the ball drop in Times Square on tv (or on my iPod, like this year) life moved on normally without an extra significance of a New Year. Maybe that's why

NaBloPoMo

2011-12-27T17:07:00.001-05:00

After not posting for very long periods of time, I'm going to attempt NaBloPoMo again! For those that don't know, this is basically a challenge to post every single day of the month, starting from Jan. 1st. January's topic is: Beginnings. Here's what the blogher website says about this topic: BEGINNINGSJanuary 1st is a blank slate, and you can make the year anything you want it to be? Leave

Since the blogger app refuses to let me properly arrange pictures with text, I'll just use a numbering system! Yay! 1) Pink Tornado? :) Actually, it's a tritation lab we did in Chemistry. We used a magnetic stirrer (how cool is that? A little magnetic cylinder thing just turns and turns!). For those who took chemistry way too long ago, tritations are when the molarity of one liquid is equal to

Shopping Spree! :) (not really...)

2011-12-22T21:43:00.001-05:00

(Considering my awesome iPod has a camera now, I should really post more...) I went shopping today! :) I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about spending a bunch since my birthday is soon...right? Purse is from JCPenny -- $40 originally, and ~$34 with a 15% off coupon (every receipt from Penny's has a survey code, take the survey & print out the coupon! Yay!) I normally don't spend so much so

2011-10-16T03:14:00.001-04:00

Just came across this hilarious comic cartoon site today! Ninjabi is made by a Muslim girl who I guess is trying to break stereotypes... :D I went through the archive and found them very funny; they make fun of stereotypes/common questions/etc. for muslim people in the western world. And the drawings are so cute!

2011-07-25T21:39:00.002-04:00

Hello! Assalam Walaikum! Hola! Yesterday I picked up my phone fully knowing it was my dad and said, "Hello?". My sister's like, "What?!" :D It's like involuntary now, pick up the phone and say Hello?! hehe Anyways...you are probably wondering what's heart tree...or you may not. But I'm going to tell you anyways because when I showed this picture to my sister she was not interested, at all. :(

Today I got it FREE (yipee! lol true desi style :D) because I joined MyPanera and they give you free stuff periodically. This

I haven't done a tag post in a looong time, but I was watching amenakin's video on this tag and found the questions interesting. :) As she did, I tag anyone else wanting to do it! :D 1. Do you have any pets? Currently, no :( Long ago we had 3 goldfish, but we weren't too good at taking care of them and they all passed away. Then, I tried to convince my dad to let me get a rabbit (a lot) but

Have you ever used Wordle.net? It's the website that produces all the cool little text things. I'll show you in a second. :) So I did one by just putting in my blog URL...the words that came up are interesting :) Wordle.net has plenty of variations and cool colors/fonts/etc....but no saving option :( so you have to screenshot it which is why there is "print..." button on the side. :) Anyhow,

For the longest time I've been looking for an app that would let me write posts on my blog. And I found it! Yay! It doesn't have a landscape mode so that's kind of sad...(harder typing) but I'll probably be posting more now! If I like this I may upgrade to "pro" (which cost $1.99) which let's you upload pictures! Yay...Have a lovely day!
