because it's the 28th day of the year!

oh man. i'm actually legal now (in canada...)!!!!!!

today has been quite the eventful day, and the weekend was pretty fantastic as well. this coming weekend is definitely going to be quite the roller coaster both mentally and physically.

i spent my weekend literally going to work, eating sushi, and sitting/laying about. a part of me REALLY regrets that but y'know... it's my birthday and all... and i'll be studying saturday and sunday and the rest of this week for my midterm monday! so hey, i guess my exam will make up for my laziness (obviously!)... :P

with the process of my being-more-positive this year... things have been... meh. i've tried to be positive, and it has been working but with my upcoming exams... everything is coming downhill, and it's a terrible feeling because it's times like this where i wish i had someone who supported me through anything and everything. i know, i know. i sound pretty desperate, but i do miss being super smiley all the time and just being in a fantastic mood overall! but in time, everything will fall into place!

i don't really have much to write because i'm quite exhausted, but i'm considering doing tag videos? if that sounds like an interesting idea! it'd be kind of fun talking to you via a video as to writing a huge about me kind of thing, y'know? and it'll be a quirky way to just have fun with this. and get me motivated to blog more often. ;)

i'll attach some pictures from my birthday later this week after my party so it'll be one huge photoblog.

you're all lovely, and i'll talk to you all soon!

because it's a new year.

i realize i'm terrible at keeping journals, so i'm trying harder this year! but watch it be a total bust...

but i'm just going to do a quick update today, and hopefully continue to add to my advice blog! yay! ...fingers crossed at least!

typical post... but i had a boyfriend! my first real relationship, i guess. and it's kind of a cute story, so i'll just tell you it from the beginning.

november 14th 2011 at work, i met someone who i've been some-what acquainted with in the past. past, being a couple of weeks prior (HAHAHAHA). his name is mister (nickname/anonymity!), and he has the most amazing green eyes and smile. it was about 2:45pm when i was let off for break, and i sat down mindlessly scrolling through my twitter feed when he walked in. i looked up, and gave him a small smile, and he said "i'm just gonna sit across from you..." it was awkward, obviously because of the time i randomly said hi outside the store (i'm not creepy, i promise!). so naturally i replied with what i reply everything with, "sure thing!" then i proceeded to ask him about school, even though i REALLY didn't want to make conversation with someone who walked in with suuuuch a dark look on his face. the conversation kept going, and just like that, 15 minutes went by, and i got up to use the bathroom before heading back down, and he stopped me as i proceeded to walk downstairs. he asked if i could take a shift from him, and i was all cool and said, 'sure, why not? gives me the chance to sleep in." we didn't talk again after because of the lanes we were put at. so at the end of my shift, i went up to double check his schedule before telling the supervisor, and his name wasn't found. annoyed, i unwillingly went down, and asked if we were still switching, and he wanted to wait before telling amanda because he might be switching with our friend Jaycee. getting even more annoyed, i told him to text me about it, and got his number. coincidentally, he was on break just as i got off shift, so we just texted. soon, that text turned into a 6 hour phone call, which was... interesting. and within the month, we started dating. 

it's cute, right? apologies for the weird/awkward structuring of that, but moving on! we had a cute first date, and we sat on top of a hill, and talked for a couple of hours cuddled on the park bench. then we walked back down into eau claire, and started to mess around on my phone. then, the second time we hung out, we went down to 17th to get his phone fixed, and headed to downtown again at night after his shift, and that was when i got my first kiss. it's definitely a cringe moment because it was just... awkward. HAHAHAHA, not going to go into detail, but nonetheless, it was a really good night. but i guess you can't ever compete with the ex-girlfriend they've slept with because he's still in love with her. and on january 1st 2013, we broke up because he confessed. i should've known, to be honest. i was a secret, we barely saw each other, and he never wanted anyone to see us. kind of crappy, yeah. but i wouldn't call him a regret. yeah, i miss him so much it hurts, i'm still waiting on the boy God's set me up with. i just can't shake the feeling that he and i are supposed to be someone. i mean, why else would we have spoken that day when neither of us wanted to acknowledge each other? it's silly, yes, but it's the only thing keeping me somewhat optimistic about everything. i'm hoping that's the case because he really did make the days we were together really happy and i really enjoyed myself with him.

but no more sad and whiny! onto the next stuff...

i totally wrote this a few days ago, but i guess nothing saved, so i'll just leave this here mainly for my sake because the memory still makes me smile a lot, and it's silly, but oh well!

also, thank you to the reader who left me an anonymous message on tumblr encouraging me to blog! i promise i'll do my very best to keep this as up to date as i can. (: (:

you guys are all awesome for reading this, and i'll chat with you all soon!

in the mean time, have a fantastic weekend. and good luck to those who have exams!

xoxo, yona
