Hey again!



Next time, I'm going with a black stain. Black paint comes off so easy, you can peel it off! That's pretty annoying, to have to keep painting it!
Yeah.. I know, it's been a while. A lot has gone on, yet at the same time, a lot hasn't. Since I'm not quite sure what you don't know, haven't heard, blah, blah, I'll just yammer on, alright? xD

I've just recovered from a cold.. totally sucked. As usual, right? Still have some coughing, but that's alright. 

I'm two weeks away from paying off my credit card! FINALLY! Oh god.. I just keep thinking about that lovely 0$.. I know it'll only be temporary,seeing as I still pay 35$ a month until this coming October to this little girl,a nd her family as part of a plan. (She wrote me a letter! It was so cute!) And there is the stupid credit alert payments. Which I'm thinking on canceling lately.. Seriously. Something goes wrong once, and now I pay them at least $30 sometimes too for nothing. FOR NOTHING!
Anyways, I don't care, as long as I still have money of my own again to save up for college, and an apartment. By the way, it's driving me nuts with desire. I spend money, feeling like I want something, feeling like I need something. I don't want anything. The things I buy don't give me what I want. The things I buy won't change my life, won't make a difference, and THAT, that is what I want! But being the shopaholic I am, I just can't help it sometimes. Even if it's food, or hair dye, or just a $5 payment to an online game for something... that adds up. First you say, "Oh.. I'll only spend $5.. that'll give me what I want on it." next thing you know, you buy another $5 payment.. then another $5 payment on IMVU, and then lots of $3 payments, next thing you know, it's like, 40$ of money you spent, maybe more, maybe less, but hey, you spent so much of so little, you probably can't even remember how, and for what, right? How did it get this why? It just does. Hahaha~

April is my deadline. I need to finish my portfolio for college RIGHT NOW! D:< I don't care if it is like, March 1st tomorrow. It shouldn't have taken me this long, I feel so ashamed for being such a slacker. I've been buying stuff, and creating stuff, and making rooms, and feeling the drama of IMVU that I neither want, nor need, and I've also been trying my hand at the farms on Mabinogi. I feel more confident now there, since someone I met recently was helping me out on another sever. So I went back to my old, neglected characters, and made them sparkle again! Artemis0 on Mari is now my best character. I really dig this farm stuff too, it's very addicting! Especially when it gives you TONS of gold. I have 400k right now. I feel so rich! *-* Yes, that is EXTREMELY a lot of gold for me.
I've also been playing Harvest Moon.. my little girl Alice finally got to the child stage, which was a first for me, since in the old file of mine, she was only still a baby. Now Julius, and I have a second child, still a baby though, but her name is Cecilia~ Instead of going with white cat as my pet again, I focused on white weasel instead. I also got all the other couples married, and with, or almost with children now. Obviously, except for Candace. Also, Maya, and Chase are not married either, since I'm not all that thrilled to make them married, and with their ugly kid Dakota. Phoebe, and Calvin are not married yet because Phoebe is high standard in gifts, but their kid is my favourite.. He's so cute! I also rang the purple bell.. Now the Harvest King is telling my kid to go to another land with a new seedling,a nd leave our family forever?! HOW CRUEL! SHE'S JUST A CHILD! TT____TT I love my little Alice.. I don't want to say goodbye..

Hey, guess what else I found out? How much my sister likes me. You remember my little apartment plan in the last post right? Well, she apparently went, and applied for a couple colleges somewhere else, and got accepted into Waterloo. College, of course. See, it's not that what bugs me.. it's the fact that I had to find out through her status on FACEBOOK. She didn't even have the courtesy to tell me straight out that she decided she didn't want to move in with me, and Alyssa in Ottawa. I had to change my plans for her, and then I had to change them again, because she's a jerk like that. And I was finally gaining some compassion for her again. That's what I get for thinking someone in my family would pull through for me. I have learned enough that you can't rely on other people's promises! I should have remembered that lesson I taught myself! Whatever. WE DON'T NEED YOU. YOU'RE ANNOYING ANYWAYS. I LIKE MY BROTHER BETTER.

Alright.. I'm gonna wrap up this post! Wish me luck in the things I really need right now! I would really appreciate it! I know nobody else really reads this though. But I like to think people do. ^_^

Ohh mannnn..

Hey again! Joyce here.. ^_^

Just thought I'd have another update today. =)

It;s been really annoying at work lately, it's getting so much harder just to be there. Today, I thought I was going to get fire,d or have to quit, and find a new job, but I was really worried though, about that. Finding a job these days isn't exactly the easiest thing. Especially not in a small town like mine. I still need my job, I haven't even saved up enough for my apartment yet, a couple more weeks, and I'll have my credit card brought down to ZERO! Finally. It's about time..

When it gets to Zero, I can finally start saving. Instead of all my money going to pay off my credit card, because I have an impulse to spend to deal with boredom, or having a really bad day, it helps cheer me up a little, or I need a couple things, and I get something I really didn't need, or did, but not right away, and there is also the need to spend when I hang out with one of my friends so we can have some kind of fresh entertainment.. so I probably shouldn't hang out with anyone while I'm saving my money. It's hard.. 

I've also have my whole healthier eating to lose weight thing up, and running again. I eat one banana a day, I munch on some high fiber, Fiber 1 cereal, and the occasional high fiber Fiber 1 snack at work, and I try not to get fatty dressing on my sandwich. (Caeser. I love you.) Gotta stick with only high fiber stuff, lots of water, and try my best to resist to the cookies, and the doughnuts, and hot chocolate that we have at work.. I don't drink coffee. I do wish I drank green tea though. I'm more of a cold beverage gal though.

Heeyyy! Let me tell you this too! I've begun to get more used to my hair, and it doesn't bother me so much now. Also, I bought some white 'Virgin Snow' toner from manic panic, amplified, to finish off the lightening of my hair, before I add the red it melts into. And, thanks to the tips of the awesome guy from "It's Life" blog, who I have featured above, I have bought some 'Dumb Blonde' Bed Head brand shampoo to wash my bleached hair with! Thanks for the awesome advise, guy! It really works! Did cost a pretty penny though. $13 for one bottle. Whatever, right? I also bought some hand lotion, because my hands are starting to get scratchy dry again.. ick. I should really invest in a new pair of work shoes though... Oh well. -shrug-

How about I show you guys something awesome? Our apartment. I'm moving in with my friend Alyssa, and my younger sister. I'm going to be making some strict rules about the rent.. I am NOT paying this all by myself, seeing as there is now three people going to be living all together in one apartment, so I had to choose a more expensive option with 3 bedrooms. There was no way around it. $450 a month from each of us. It's NOT hard, it's NOT asking too much. Here is our floorplan!

Nice, huh? =D I needed to get a balcony. It was a MUST in my interests.
I have volunteered to take the bedroom with no window, of course. That's alright. An aspiring Interior Decorator like myself sees it as no problem.

I LOVE Unique Every Day Items!



Hey everyone! I'm back now, with my second blog, of course!
I'm feeling very energetic right now, even though I'm really actually tired, and just got done a 2-10 shift at work at Tim Hortons a few hours ago. Seeing as it's 2 am in the morning right now, but I will not go to bed at the moment, because I am having too much fun!!

I just finished watching the first.. 3 episodes of a show called Chuck, and already, I'm really loving it, it's so funny! What really got me wanting to watch it was the fact that Zach Levi is in it, and he was the voice of Flynn Rider in the movie Tangled, which I love. Also, to my surprise, so was the actor who plays Jayne Cobb in Firefly, one of my favourite shows!

I am also on skype with my boyfriend Keith, while he plays League of Legends, and listens to me being crazy over here! Hahaha~ Listening to Bruno Mars' 'Just The Way You Are' song. I looovvee it, it's so sweet!
This also reminded me of something I really want when we are together! Or rather, on of the many things. Haha~ I'm such a child, but I love him, because he is just like me when it comes to doing fun, silly things like that~ <3


INDOOR FORTS / TENTS!

Yes, you heard me correctly! I think they are soo awesome! I've always loved forts. And being in a tent for that matter. The idea of a secluded little spot with dimmed lighting, and also a cozy little space for adventure really gets me excited! I'm going to have to take these into account when I learn more in the career of Interior Decorating.

You know what else I find really awesome? Loft beds, and beds that hang from the ceiling, and hammocks, I absolutely adore cute little things like that, that are out of the ordinary, and I would be MORE than happy to be able to have a client who feels the same way! Glow in the dark stars?
Hell yeah.


Here are some pictures of some really amazing things that there is to consider! 

This one was quite cozy looking!
I LOVE the color scheme, and design, it all looks so lovely!

This one is GOREGOUS! They did a BEAUTIFUL job!!










This one was just downright AMAZING.
I just LOVED This idea!
I don't know, I really liked the touch of plants on this!
