three muskateers!!!!

shubi and the gurrrrlz. ;)

muskateers and bonnie!

because... well, just because.

yeeeep, now we're definitely almost done high school. and it's truly terrifying. i whine too much.

nothing has happened lately that's of worth to know, really. it's been pretty boring. i've worked, i've slept, and i've watched grey's.

work is alright. today ALL the debit and credit machines were down... darn you, technology!!!! but that was interesting. you never really understand how rude some people are until you've worked with lots of 'em... but oh well.

final tea cozy was last night. it was fantastic as usual, and it makes me wish i went to them more often... i'm sure it'll still be fantastic in the coming years. :D

grad bricks painted and such, i just need to design it, and voila! donezo.

hm. yeah... that's pretty much it! see? boring life.

i have the rest of my graduation photos up though!!!!!!!

i'm also extremely glad my wonderful boyfriend still feels the same way towards me. :D i may be silly, but he honestly makes me happy. and even when i have to put up with his disappearances, he's still my one and only, and i'll always think of him that way.

you're all wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon.

xo, yona.

because it's the beginning of forever.

i finally graduated. and damn, does it feel good. it was definitely a nerve wracking morning, but i was sosososo SO excited! we had these black robes with a gold v-scarf thing, and they definitely reminded me of harry potter. it was pretty fantastic!

it went amazing yesterday, and i couldn't have asked for a better graduation ceremony AND banquet. i loved how they didn't smother us with inspirational speeches because those are seriously way too cliche and cheesy. they honestly gave their honest opinion on life - amazing.

we spent the morning confused and acting like a herd of sheep. ms. bosshart was right - it was one damn hectic process. because i'm near the front of the alphabet (more like the 15th), we were the first row to enter the auditorium. finding our names on the wall was just... WHAT. they kind of skipped letters of the alphabet, so it was a, b, d, e, ect on one side, and c, f, g, ect on the other side. uh.... yeah! so that definitely took a while! but thankfully, no one fell or tripped on stage!

after the ceremony, i spent the lunch with my parents and peony, rebecka, and andrea. we went out for pho. SERIOUSLY CRAAAAVED FOR IT. de-freaking-licious man. and then i rushed to melissa's to get my hair done by her sister. we looked like twins, HAHAHAH. then we rushed over to larry's house to get picked up in the 24 person limo. IT WAS A FREAKING MONSTER HUMMER LIMO TOO. and damn, it was a beaaaut.

we had a dance, dinner with amazzzzing food, a photobooth, and more speeches. everyone delivered a fantastic speech, even if they were nervous. i'm so proud of everyone.

finally, we headed to the hotel. long freaking night, and i crashed at 1:30am. but yeah!

the only part of the night i didn't enjoy was my argument with danny. i hate arguing with that boy, and i can't lose him either. gijkgerjikfmrfikjlmfrd

enjoy the few pictures i had on my phone. i'll dedicate a whole post to graduation when they're up! in the meantime, i'm going to finish this post as it is so i don't bore any of you.

you're all wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon.

xo, yona.

because i am terrified.

i am terrified. in less then 12 hours, i will be a 2012 high school graduate. i'm scared, and i don't know if i'll make it. i'm almost positive i'll fail at everything i'm aspiring to be because i suck in general. but either way, i'm praying everything goes amazing tomorrow!

today was a rather lame day. i did nothing but work, and man, it was busy. i'm glad i got to catch up with james though! definitely have missed that kid.

but making this short, and as interesting as i can, here are some of my graduation photos! they're watermarked though, unfortunately. ):

i am praying i don't fall over and die tomorrow!

i'm also hanging on to a very thin strand of hope that he still loves me back. it's almost been a week. my heart hurts a hell lot right now, and i just want to cry.

to all the 2012 graduates, congratulations! we've reached a milestone. embrace the spotlight!

you're wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon! and there will be a skipped post! maybe, at least!

xo, yona.

because i a overwhelmed.

graduation in 2 days. arguments with parents daily. university stuff never ending. my life is just way too much at the moment, and it's tiring to care about anything. i'm tired of wanting perfect - i just want normal. and it's difficult!!!

dinner was so awkward today. my dad lashed out at my brother, and it got very awkward very quickly. everyone stared. i'll never understand why he's so temperamental. but regardless, i'm glad i spent some time with my aunts and uncles.

asian food. not my fave, but oh well!

after dinner. hahaha, too awkward to have taken when it was just starting...

i want to get married some day, but i'm so scared. i'm scared i'll never find the right person because i'm so screwed up. i'm messed up, and it hurts every guy i date. my life is sad, i know. this ad made me wish SO much, that everything with danny is normal, and that we still love each other. i'm almost sure i'm in love with him... i've never felt that way before.he made me feel so special, and that i was the only one who mattered. i need that kind of thing in my life.

i'd love a cute proposal!

but for now, i have a sleepover! you're wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon.

xo, yona.

because acrylic nails suck.

so... got my nails done... and i hate them. the girl who put them on was so... dopey. she complained about everyone, she made SO many mistakes, and she was just so careless. i really expected someone who was graduation from a spa school to do a much better job... but nope! it was terrible... i'm now just praying these last for 2 weeks before i get them filled or taken off... sigh.

my hand is on the right, karin's hand is on the left. hers are rounded, and mine are squares!

hot yoga is also my baby. i'm so in love with it. it's definitely a lot of hard work, but SO worth it in the end. they give out these fantastic smelling lemongrass towels, and they smell heaaavenly. <3 i definitely recommend yoga if you're not that active like myself. it only took me about a class and a half to get used to the routine, and after that, it's been smooth sailing!

after karin and i got back to her place, we spent it watching GREY'S ANATOMY!! seriously the BEST tv show out there. and it definitely makes me want to marry a hottie surgeon. ;) karin made a simple and nutritious dinner of veggies and watermelon. mmmmmmmm... definitely to die fooooor. she also dropped a cucumber into the garbage can... HAHAHA no bigs or anything... probably because of these INSANELY long nails!!!! i really hope i don't screw them up at work. ): or i'll be suuuper upset. :/

the ever so lovely cucumber... HAHAHAH.

 is it seriously so hard for you to reply my inbox. if you don't want to continue dating me, then tell me. i'm a big girl. i don't want to lose you, but i also want you happy. sigh... relationships... i'm much better at being single.

you're wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon!

xo, yona.

because it's graduation weekend.

wheeeee! t-minus 3 days to graduation! and i am suuuper stoked by it all! i'm absolutely terrified though. it's scary... going out of the safety net i've been in for 12 years. no one is going to hold my hand, and no one will be there to comfort me because everyone will be gone. ):

today was the first day of the insane 7 day weekend i have! i seriously didn't do anything productive. i did my laundry, called MC college to book a nail appointment, and then i hung out with jodie. chill, unproductive day. sigh!

oh! and it was awkward. my creepy supervisor was at chinook, and creepily checked me out... no offense, but he doesn't exactly seem like boyfriend material. screwing your co-worker over? that's even worse, i think....

if any of you are wanting to get your nails done for cheap, i suggest you call in to the nearest cosmetology college, and book an appointment with them! i'm getting my nails done for $25 instead of the $60+ at salons! totally worth it, and you'll be saving quite a lot! they can be a pain, though. so do book your appointment a couple of weeks in advance!

aaaand onto today's purchases (i am aware that it'll be pictures, but hey. my life is boring. pictures will make it less boring!).

 as mentioned before, grad is approaching!! and i've finally figured out how i want my hair - curled! with a white ribbon. (: because i want to keep my dress a surprise, i'll attach pictures to the graduation post! :D jodie will be curling it for me, so thank you in advance! using a curling iron works wonderful.

 after we went shopping, jodie's parents took us out to pho, and we had a lovely time. her parents are really cool, and i wish i had them for my parents. ): but regardless, sketchy asian bathroom... so classy. totally kidding... but anyways! meet jodie. (:

 yay! i love these crop and distressed back shirts! it'll make summer a little more bearable. this is a small from american eagle, and it's a crop! super excited to wear this out!!! i'm secretly a hipster, okay.

 i originally bought this a week ago, but they never took off my beeper tag thing. ): but this is half of my ceremony outfit! it's cotton corset from aritzia. the brand is talula, and i'm pretty sure it's a strictly canadian brand.... sorry! i love this minty green though! it reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream, hahahaha.

 this hollister sweater... isn't really my favorite. it's a 3/4 sleeve, and it's warm. but really... the cropped sleeve just isn't my thing. it smells grrrrreat though (as most hollister products do... :P) but yup!

overall, i had a great day, and i'm glad to just relaaaax over this weekend. sigh! three more days.... then exams! well, great aside from still being extremely conflicted with danny. i mean, love is love, and you can't just... NOT love anymore, you know? falling in love is such a scary thing, and is it really too much to ask for you to want and love me back?

siiiigh! relationships are always so complicated...

you're wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon.

xo, yona.

because loving more is my thing.

i've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and i've concluded that i'm meant to be alone with a million cats. i suck at relationships, and i suck at being a girlfriend. i mean, really, all i want is someone who loves me just as much as i love them. it's tiring being the only one who loves. sigh!

loooooooove. it's definitely lost its meaning over time. i mean, love. a simple four letter word that people use to describe everything. they love this color, they love the rain, they love this place, they love him, they love her. they love this, they love that.

LOVE. really? do you really love this, that, it, whatever-it-is-you-claim-to-love? no. no you do not. you'll whine and complain and change your mind every single freaking time it's suitable.

being in a long distance relationship is difficult. i can't ever tell if he really loves me or not. i mean, he NEVER makes time for me, and he's so distant. see? love lost its meaning centuries ago.

i want a knight in shining armor. i want a fairytale. i want happy, and i want romance. i guess i'm a little high maintenance, but c'mon. what girl isn't?!

i really just wish you loved me. and REALLY loved me. and made time for me. a little attention from you would be nice, because lately, it feels life i'm trying to save something that ...that just WON'T be saved. and i don't want to waste my time.

i hate not being perfect for you. please just love me back? please? SIGH.

love. can't i just get my happily ever after? please?

you're wonderful, and i'll talk to you soon!

xo, yona.
