Living like Blair Waldorf #1


Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.
If I'm honest I didn't know what proactively living was until I came to Vancouver. Boredom isn't even a thing because there is always something to do and somewhere to go. I tried zen heat yoga on Thursday with little convincing from my roommate, Neish. Followed by Lunch at Faubourg Paris where Camille and I had the best macarons in Vancity. We sat outside facing the art gallery observing the serenity of the lives of ordinary day people. We talked fashion and cakes with way too many calories. I went shopping and finally as the clouds began to descend, disguising the little sun we had, I left to get ready for an evening social. 
On Saturday I went grocery shopping with my Japanese roommate Natsuno after vowing to ourselves that our healthy lifestyle starts today. With a whole day of productivity planned for Sunday, a clean room infused with an aroma of Vanilla and my outfits planned for the following week, I feel invincible. 

Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy or Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, several people have compared me to both but I guess I have my days of being an unapologetic b!tch (90%) or at times pathetically superficial. Let me give you a scenario: So I don't know you and you don't know me but in the seconds that we meet I am already sussing out whether we're going to be really good friends or just really casual acquaintances. How well you react to my personality is always the deciding factor. I am far too opinionated for society's good. I love an argument and I hate to lose, I'm ambitious more than you know and I believe in saying things without thinking. There was a time when I was very little, where I thought there was something wrong until I met people just like me. It was the most liberating thing, as liberating as skinny dipping in foreign islands and singing horribly in public just because you want to. I didn't feel stuck anymore and I certainly didn't feel like I needed to filter my thoughts because these people understood. My tip for you? Find people who understand you and never let them go, life is too short for shitty friends and full fat milk. 

As most of you know I've just moved to Vancouver and I know some of you are dying to hear how It's going. SO I've decided to start a lifestyle feature on my blog where I ramble on about my life and things that are happening once a week. I hope you enjoy this and as always I'd love to hear your thoughts.

  8. You are so right! I really enjoyed reading this kind of post, there are those people at work who don't appreciate my company at all. And I don't care about this anymore, because I know I'll go my way, doesn't matter if you got haters out there, because there will always be people who support you, too.

  9. Blair is my spirit animal! And I remember that quote quite well. I really relate to a lot of the things you've said in this post and it sounds like you're in a really good place. Also planning outfits for the week sounds like something I should really get behind. I spend way too long in the mornings doing just that. Great post!

  11. I keep on repeating to me I have to try to reach what I want. A "no" answer is what we already have, we should try to go further.
