hmmm, I know I announced that I would read one book a week a while back, but I've been struggling to keep up with that goal since I switched to reading books in German.
I just finished Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone and it took me a month to read 🥲
By the end of the book, it did get quite a bit easier, so I know the next book shouldn't take as long. But it's still going to be a struggle. I read somewhere that to become proficient you need to read 3 million words or roughly 30 books. So I need to read 29 more books.
I can't wait to get to a level where I can read books more aligned with my interest. I'd be killing two birds with one stone! Reading books I like, while improving my German. what a **wild** concept 🤩
honestly, I can't believe I didn't try this method before to learn German. All the grammatical rules and vocabulary rarely stuck when I learned in a classroom. but reading... I love to read! this is definitely the most effective learning style for meee. I'm going to be level C2 by the end of 2023. Mark my words!
I had an arepa for the first time in my life when I was in Spain, and I'm officially declaring it as my current favorite food. particularly the chicken avocado arepa 🤤
I need to be careful and not go overboard and eat it every day like I do whenever I have a new favorite food because after a while I'm going to make myself sick of it and never eat it again. Does anyone else do this? Or is that just me?
I really, *really* want to go to South America someday and just do a food tour.
**neighbour update:** so yesterday, I got another package for my Taiwanese neighbour. I didn't even look at the name on the package, so I was surprised when I opened the door to see her. I got her number this time ;)
I know getting a breast augmentation is a bit controversial since many of you follow me because you like the way I am! I genuinely appreciate your fondness for my body the way it is. However, I'm getting the procedure for myself.
I want to be able to fit in lingerie, because 99% of the smallest sizes available, my breast can't even fill out the cup. I want to be able to wear halter tops without them slipping down because my boobs are too small. Oftentimes, I find a dress I love, which fits my hips but not my breast 🥲. I just want to make my body a little more proportional. I don't think going to a B cup will be so drastic!
I hope you can understand that it's something that will make me happy, and be happy for me
I may have made some impulsive decisions today. I booked a flight to Thailand for December and a breast augmentation for January. hahaha
I've felt very uninspired taking photos in my apartment. I feel limited to the same positions over and over since I can really only take pics right next to my window. So I hope Thailand will serve as an inspiration and lead me to make some good content there! As for breast augmentation, that can serve as motivation to make the best content I can make, as often as I can so that they can pay for themselves, hehehe.
don't worry, I'm not going crazy with the breast size. the doctor said the maximum I can get is 180cc without looking unnatural. I didn't plan on going crazy big, but I didn't know I could be limited to such a small size lol. I'm trying to figure out if I want 180cc or 150cc. it's so hard to find examples of women online who got implants under 180cc.
the first pic is180cc and the second pic is 150cc, what do you think? 🙃
so I tried to give my neighbour the banana bread I baked, but it turns out hardly anyone in my building put their names on the doors ☹️
I know she lives on the 4th floor, and my friend said I should have rang all the doorbells on that floor and asked around for her. would that have been weird?
last week, my neighbour came to pick up a package from me, and she stayed a bit to pet my cat. so I asked her where she was from, and she told me she's from Taiwan! so I started talking to her in Chinese and I think it confused her a bit, because a lot of asian people don't think I look asian. But I digress, the next day she gave me a T-shirt with the island of Taiwan printed on it 🥹🥹🥹
So last night I baked her banana bread and will give it to her today. I hope we become frieeeends
so I've recently become aware of the fact that I'm actually one inch taller than I thought I was. I always said I was 5'5, because I am 5 foot and a HALF. but half of 12 is 6 not 5 😭
I was randomly thinking today about that time where I got caught riding without a ticket on the tram, and so I made up a fake name when they tried to give me a fine. I filled out the form with my fake name and a fake address, and then, at the bottom of the form, I signed with my real name 🥲
sorry, I've been slacking a little this week, I got sick but I feel a bit better today!
I went a little too hard last weekend, got too hot and laid on the sidewalk in front of the club for an extended period of time at 5 am too cool down...and then of course I got sick 💀
this week two people called me a beautiful mess, I think this is my sign I need to cool it with the partying, at least until after halloween 🥲
Now that I don't have uni anymore I've been trying to get my German up to C1 so that I can find a good job and it has made me realise how little German I know 🥲
I'm reading Harry Potter in German, and let me tell you, it's a struggle, but, I thiiiink I can get to C1 by February, well that's my goal, anyway 🥸
I don't know what the deal is with OF, even when someone sends multiple messages, it STILL gets buried at the bottom of read messages?? I will keep an eye on my email for messages from OF and try to keep up that way. Sorry guys 😣
OF has been kinda wonky the past month or so. If you've sent me an important message or tip, and I haven't gotten back to you, please message me again! For some reason, unread messages are disappearing to the bottom of my pile
okay, so my bestie and I decided to move in together at the end of next year so we can have a huge apartment and let our cats fall in love with each other
I've been avoiding talking to my mom because she won't quit bugging me to get a boyfriend. She's been so adamant that I start a family, like, yesterday. but I finally talked to her today and told her I'm not dating till I go through therapy, and I was very pleasantly surprised that she agreed. Who is this lady, and what did she do to my mother??
