Oh yay! I've never been nominated for a Blogger Award before! This is amazing, just exhilarating. Thank you, Roxanne from the Awkward Turtle and Shaira from Shaira Manalo for nominating me. It is such an honor.
Here are seven things you may want to know about me but don't necessarily need to:
1. My Mug Collection | A venture of mine is buying adorable mugs for me to sip on idly. A recent addition to my collection is a black and white mug with Coffee written in bold, black letters I bought for just $1.85.
2. Odd Jobs | I work as a freelance makeup-artist and actor mostly however I have also been a vendor, model and recently, played Elsa for a little girl's birthday party then went to the Mall and an outbreak ensued. Suffice to say, I was a hit.
3. Bash: Violinist | I played the violin for over 8 years, when I stopped at 11 due to exams. I just never picked it up since. Perhaps I will try playing it again one day.
4. Learning French | My parents put me in French lessons when I was eight. I loved it but then the tuition place moved and I couldn't go anymore. Now, I only remember the basic phrases and the numbers until twelve.
5. Future Law Student | After A Levels, I plan on furthering my studies as a Law student in the UK. I don't want to to jinx it so I'm working hard to make sure that dream succeeds.
6. Young Feminist | I was feminist before I knew what feminism was. I wanted to be seen as a girl but equal to the boys, play with dolls but run and fight during play time. In that sense, I was pretty damn cool.
7. Writer's Block | One day, I want to publish a novel. It's been a goal of mine since I could remember. The problem is I never end any stories, the folder full of unfinished documents is proof.
In support of International Women's Day, many women have come out with a letter to their younger selves. This is to give advice to their past self and genuinely support themselves at the young age when they were still figuring everything out. And hopefully, give young girls advice as well. I think this is beautiful, showing the difference as we were and as we are.
While this is mostly created by adult women speaking to their teenage self, I am a teenage speaking much younger selves. Things I wish I had known, and should have knew. So here is mine.
Dear Bash…

It's so strange to talk about makeup in public nowadays. You can't say, 'Oh, have you tried Better Than Sex yet?' or 'NARS' Orgasm looks great on you!' without getting more than a few weird looks. So whenever I praise this Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation, strangers tend to furrow their brows and look at me disapprovingly.
It doesn't matter though. Because I do love Naked Skin.

I was absurdly tired this morning. I slept late due to a high dose of caffeine at ten o'clock, and woke up too early to finish a few blog stuff and to prepare for Model UN. You can see the bags under my vacant stare if you look closely. Though it shouldn't be surprising, I am seventeen after all. The last year of adolescent should be spent staying up and partying. However, my definition of partying is staying home with an 8tracks tab open and making plans.
Sounds perfect to me.
In other news, my favourite boots' faux leather is beginning to scuff and tear. It's not terrible but it's noticeable. Do you have any clue how to fix the scuffing?
I'm incredibly happy about the number of books I've read so far. Though it's just seven to nine books so far, I love that I have been slowly reconnecting with my inner bookworm. One of my regrets last year and the year-before was that I didn't read enough books. My focus was on other things, thus I neglected reading and writing.
I want this year to change that and I think it's going well. To celebrate, I got a few books this month that I intend to read soon. Four books may not seem like much but buying books are expensive for a self-employed (jobless) teenager. #GIRLBOSS itself was $45. Excuse me while I wipe my tears with a receipt.
So anyway, here are the books!
