HYGIENE

Hair:

Shower every other day. 

Buy a metal comb to prevent static hair. 

Use a mild shampoo (volumizing, clarifying) to clean, nourish, and moisterize the scalp. And to eliminate unnecessary oils that will weigh your hair down (lifeless) but not completely eliminate your necessary hair oils. AVOID SHAMPOOS THAT HAVE SULFATE AND PARABEN 

Moisterize your hair ends NOT YOUR SCALP with intensive conditioner. ONCE A WEEK. 

At LOW TEMPERATURE, Blowdry your hair upside down and a round brush to style!! RECOMMEND: BACK COMBing 

Avoid using a lot of products in your hair

AVOID BANGS.

Braiding your wet hair at night and sleeping on it till the morning helps your hair bounce.

DON'T COMB wet hair, and instead use wide toothed combs to comb it or gentle fingers.

Don't use harsh coloring agents, use henna 

Massage your hair with Vitamin E to improve blood scalp circulation.

Avoid stress!!!

What’s the best shampoo for straight hair?

Caring for straight hair should be a breeze if you choose the right shampoo and conditioner because these can spell the difference between great-looking hair and dull tresses. This product review is all about which shampoos and conditioners women with straight locks like you should use. Although if you have relaxed hair, here’s a round-up on the best shampoo to use for your chemically treated hair.

While a shampoo’s purpose is the removal of sebum or excess oil, dirt, and the build-up of hair products from hair, conditioners protect against dryness, add shine, and detangle it for easy combing. Because straight hair is typically fine and thin, it takes the best shampoo and conditioner for straight hair to be healthy, strong, and shiny.

What is the Best Shampoo for Straight Hair?

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner is a rare hair care product; it’s a two-in-one combo with an aromatic scent of lemon and sage that helps thicken blond hair. Although customer reviews noted that this duo can thicken existing gray hair, users have also said that it thoroughly cleansed their hair without weighing it down.

>> Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner 1L Combo

Unlike other shampoo and conditioner duos, this one is very affordable. While its lemon and sage scent is never cloying, it lingers on hair, and doesn’t dry it out. This dual combination helps detangle and hydrate hair while increasing its volume with its body-building formulation. If you want a professional salon-quality shampoo and conditioner for your hair, Paul Mitchell is perfect for you.

But for women with thin, salon-straightened, and colored hair, Pureology Pure Volume Shampoo is the best option. It provides long-lasting hair volume that eliminates oil build-up as well as other impurities at the hair roots which weigh down hair. It thoroughly cleanses scalp while protecting hair fibers that have weakened due to color treatment, blow-drying, and the like.

>> Pureology Pure Volume Shampoo – Available in 8.5 oz and 33.8 oz. bottles

It adds body to thin hair by lifting each root and thickening each strand to its end. Pure Volume locks in moisture, reduces breakage, and repairs damage of hair strands by strengthening hair fibers. The shampoo has conditioning agents that lock in softness and help reduce tangling. Its exclusive ANTIFADE COMPLEX® technology provides optimum hair color retention and vibrancy.

Straight is the exact opposite of frizzy when it comes to hair, meaning the former goes limp when you sweat or when it’s humid, losing both body and waves or curls. Lightweight shampoos and conditioners do the trick to pump back volume into your hair. Straight has three types: fine and thin, coarse, and medium with a lot of body to it.

Fine and thin straight hair tends to lay naturally flat on your head and will be naturally oily. Try using Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo to add body to your hair without stripping it of its natural oils and to eliminate static. The peppermint and rosemary in this shampoo cleanses your scalp and energizes hair while protecting it from environmental hazards.

>> Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo in 33.8-ounce bottle

You can use the same Aveda variant if you hair is medium straight with a lot of body as well. If your hair has been chemically treated with color, use Amplify by Matrix-Color XL Shampoo to add volume and moisture. With a patented formula to help increase not only hair thickness but diameter, Amplify gives straight hair body and shine plus filters against UV rays for color-treated hair.

Best Shampoo for Thick Straight Hair

If you have straight hair with thick strands, don’t split or break easily, and are coarse in texture, your best bet for a shampoo is the Joico Silk Result Smoothing Shampoo for Thick/Coarse Hair with its Silk System that synergistically combines silk amino acids, silk surfactant, and natural silk silicone to gently polish and cleanse thick/coarse hair.

>> Joico Silk Result Smoothing Shampoo for Thich/Coarse Hair – 10.1 ounce

This shampoo contains a proprietary blend of quadramine complex, formulated with positively-charged proteins that have low molecular size and weight. The amino acids used in this shampoo adhere quickly to protect and reconstruct hair from its cuticle to its cortex. It not only cleanses and moisturizes thick straight hair, but it also leaves it manageable, silkier, and frizz-resistant.

You can use Kanechom argan shampoo and conditioner for your thick or coarse hair and also if it has been damaged. Both are infused with Moroccan argan oil and added keratin, the shampoo and work deeply to restore hair’s softness and shine. Just because your hair is thick doesn’t mean it is immune to damage which may be caused by excessive blow-drying or hair coloring.

>> Kanechom Argan shampoo and conditioner plus leave-in (Value Set)

Most thick hair is visibly dry and rough to the touch. Kanechom shampoo and conditioner work together to prevent dryness by repairing damaged hair follicles with its Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty oils. Both shampoo and conditioner tame frizz and static that make hair tangle and unmanageable to restore the hair’s smoothness, shine, and silkiness.

Redken All Soft Shampoo is worth trying if you have thick and/or coarse hair. With its Interlock Protein Network (IPN) technology, this shampoo can wash way all of the impurities, build-up of substances from the use of hair products, and environmental pollution but leaves your hair shiny, soft, and manageable.

>> Redken All Soft Shampoo 33 oz

Redken’s exclusive formulation of Silk-Luxe Complex and Interbond Conditioning System targets dryness to provide sleek-looking hair that’s smooth and soft.

All these shampoos mentioned above are great for straight locks, but if you’re looking for one that helps create volume, then this article would help.

Places I've EATEN *CRUNCH*

Wow, now that I actually think about it, most of the time I keep going back to this blog is because I need to check on places I've eaten and places I've hanged out in. Huh, pretty interesting.

City Island:  an Upper- Bronx Island that has very expensive food but really big portions, and most of the restaurants are Seafood based.  Lunch is a lot cheaper, and there really isn't much stuff to do there.  I would recommend going to a restaurant in City Island but next to Orchard Beach.  It gets very cold during the night so definetly bring a jacket!  Good for a celebrating expensive occasion
RATE: 3.5/5

Full Moon Pizzaria

>a lil pricey place to eat in Little Italy, Fordham Bronx and lol yes, it's pizza. BUT ITS GOOD PIZZA.  There are tables to wait in and out of the restaurant. *I recommend eating outside though with a nice weather*  Lol, and it teaches its customers to be patient for at least 30 minutes.  However, the pizza is big and try to bring like only 4 ppl, no more and plz lets try no less.  Though it was crowded, the service was good, but watch out for the time; cuz after 30 minutes, you gotta pick dat pizza up lol.  Oh and even better, (lol don't take advantage of dis) you can pay after/b4 ur done eating.  Take your time, there's no time limit :D
RATE: 3.7/5

>a spacious buffet in Fordham that's only like just $10; however, this place gives you a time limit of two hours.  The food is pretty good and the place is not dat crowded to the point of suffocation lol, and not noisy to the point of not hearing ur companion.  Beware: this place is near an optical place and is like at the side so watch carefully :D

RATING: 3.8/5

Mila Cafe

>a pretty good breakfast and lunch place that serve decent-good dishes in big quantities! Warning: CASH ONLY!!

NYONYA

>dis place in a malaysian cuisine restaurant in Chinatown.  Even though the food was at least alright.  The shrimp and squid balls were delish and the pad thai which is a little spicy.  The service was really good, i have to say i was pretty impressed.  mi friend had ask the waiters to charge and check on his cellphone n they willingly without much apparent complaint did.  They were very attentive and the atmosphere was really nice and comfy.  Oh, but u also have to pay the mandatory 10% tip here though.  I wish I had hit their lunch special(11-4 PM) though, it would have been only 6.96.  Oh n dis place does doggy bags  n the plates range from decent-large.  I was unfortunately not really dat satisfied wit their cold meat though n i love cold meat so dat wuz a bit depressing.  But it would b good to come back, good service n good hot food!

RATING: 3.5/5

Paris Baguette

>a small lobby: has sweets BUT the second floor: good drinks and nice casual dining area, and the 3rd has a large nice dining area!!! cute but a lil expensive Korean cafe!  TRY THE CRONUTS!!

42nd Times Square Manhattan (Near NY Times, and Midtown Comics)

Koreatown

(basically like a street or a neighborhood which is Korean related!!)

BCD Tofu House
>  a 24 hr, large spacious restaurant that has pretty decent-big portions and have like around 7 small but free side dishes.  They have a well know TOFU stew which is know to boil like crazy when you first get it and if you crack the egg on it, its like it'll cook there from the heat.  Yeah, it seems to be that hot.
BEWARE OF THE SPICE LEVELS TOO.

Mandoo Bar
>a nice looking small place to eat Korean food! I have to say I do like their noodles and soup dishes which I tasted from my friends.  However, I didn't really like the rice dishes.  The presentation of it being steaming or actually frying hot is VERY IMPRESSIVE. However, I don't really like how parts of my dish was burnt (at first I didn't mind when it was hot, but as it cooled down, it was unsatisfying) I would recommend bringing 4-6 people at most!
RATING: 2/5

Woorijip Authentic Korean Food
>VERY CHEAP; The place is decently big, and it has multiple tables and chairs for people to sit; however, when my friends and I got there, it was pretty busy and full. There will probably be a line at the cashier, but the wait will be pretty short. The place is pretty much full of plastic containers of delicious Korean food! I got the bulgogi and mushrooms with wild rice. I wish I could have the japchae noodle but I was literally close to broke so I just got the bulgogi one instead! The quantity for it was pretty big considering its cheap price. I wish the bulgogi was more softer, but oh well, I guess comparing it to a homemade fresh bulgogi might be cheating. I think for that big bowl with either a side of a small water (not recommend getting - way too small), kimchi (def get if you're into spicy) or a salad (which is actually pretty good and decently sized [def recommend]) is DEFINATLY AWESOME FOR AROUND $7. They have multiple other things which I would want to try!!
If there are no available seats, I would recommend sitting at the small park at the edge of Koreatown.

>cheap and delicious Vietnamese sandwiches!!!! Recommended to take out and eat at Sunset Park!

Dehli Heights

>a semi- formal restaurant in Jackson Heights that contains mid-spicy to spicy Bengali food: my most favorite ones were the somosa and chicken mosala.  The buffet SPECIAL cost like 9.95 but the part that really irked me was that you also had to pay for their service which was just fetching water and utensils; like what the hell, I could do the same thing ugh.  If you're into spicy food, then come in.  My friend recommended the Jackson Diner nearby but it was like 11-something dollars; hmm, I'll try it next time and bonus: no pay for so-called waiter service.

>(Brooklyn version of Prosperity Dumpling) Recommended to take out and eat at Sunset Park!

Masake

>an Asian Fusion restaurant in Brooklyn of Thai and Japanese food.  Food range from decent-sad yet edible; the thai 56 wuz pretty ok but in big quantity and the shomei wuz lacking and few in #; <3 RECOMMENDED: THE CHEAP FRIED ICE CREAM LIKE THE RED BEAN FOR 2 SCOOPS :D

Service: Be forewarned; these people take a long time to get your orders and prepare them!  Make sure to come way early if you want to catch their deals!!! If not, they will wait till after the deal is done and then prepare your order. As a result, YOU PAY MORE.
RATING: 2.3/5

Roll N Roaster
>A very spacious and nice diner that provides a pretty long range of American good tasting junk food such as burgers, fries, milkshakes etc. Their menu is very cheap!! Everything was practically around $5.00!! This place is pretty kind of in the middle of nowhere though. You will have to take a train, bus, and then walk there. Its close to Coney Island according to like a few train stops and some bus stops and some walking blocks.
RATE: 3.8-4.2/5

SkyIce Sweet & Savory

> a small place that is well known for their very unique flavors of icecream (offers over 18 unique flavors of ice cream and sorbet) It's $6.50 for a 5 scoop sampler and $9.50 for a 12 scoop palette of your choosing.

Golden Mall
>a small place in Flushing dat took me at least an hour 2 find ugh! and its real address and the one online is just a bit different which STILL CAUSED ME FREAKIN PROBLEMS.  the real part is the 41-28.  there are actually 2 of them which makes it confusing but the good one is at the basement and its hidden door is at the corner of the st which is across a supermarket: it might be called sparkling supermarket.  well the menu's mostly noodles and there's like dumplings, hotpot, bbq and other stuff.  Most are decently priced but some are overpriced. like the bbq, is more expensive and less tastier than the street vendors, and the stewed pork bun is overpriced with good meat but tough bread.  I didn't really have a good experience so mi review is biased.  I might come back to get a better exp or not cuz im just too damn lazy.  well, there are other restaurants in flushing that I found interesting its like across the fork of Main ST and up and around up the hill of dat outter fork.

This is the second review of the Golden Mall. Well, now that it was a lot easier to find; I'm not as negative biased as before.  I have to say that they have a pretty good range of tasty dumplings at a cheap price!  Also, I noticed that practically everything there is less than $10.  They give you sitting which is nice, but its pretty cramped in there!  There's like around at least 6 food stalls where you can order from which is pretty nice. I'm still curious to try their hotpot because its like $20.  That pork bun of their though is pretty good though!! I would suggest going if you wanna explore and branch out your tastes. Note: if you are going with people who are new, unsure ==> then you should give them recommendations. Pretty good place to go to for cheap food especially when you're hungry!

RATING: 2.7-3.8

Kimganae Korean Restaurant
>(Flushing, Queens) *Big Platters, Great Service, Good Food*

Minnis Shabu Shabu II
>a pretty spacious place where you can have individual pots of soup (shabu shabu is the jap version of chinese hotpots!!)  They have diffferent types of soup stocks such as one that tastes similar to miso, kimchi, and spicy stock. They also have different varieties where you can cook your own meats, seafoods,and vegetables!  They also have a pretty decent range of sauces at the large sauce table!  The place is pretty clean and spacious as well.  I think the biggest tables could hold 8 people!
Just to let you know, its best to have shabu shabu/hotpot with those who are close with you or at least the people you can talk a lot with!  That way it'll be fun especially since you guys will be cooking your own food!  It'll be even funny if the people who eat with you don't really know hotpot! They will ask you questions and maybe just plainly try things out! Note to self: most likely if you guys order your own set of food to cook, it'll be a lot! They give you the basic large set composed of cabbages, mushrooms, corn, eggs, pumpkins, and fishballs before you order.  Then you can add meat or even more vegetable sets onto it by buying which shabu shabu you want. Don't worry about running out of soup too!  They'll refill your soup stock!!  If you're stingy, then make sure you have your own set with you! But still, its fun to mix and share with your party!!! Also, to help you out, put thinly sliced meat first and then take them out then vegetables and leave them in. PUT NOODLES LAST! Exceptions: put the root vegetables first such as carrots, potatos, daikan, and put the corn first! They add flavor to the soup!!!!!

T-Swirl Crepe
>Flushing; I have to say this Japanese place is pretty small, but it has a nice ambience.  I tried their crepe and I have to say its pretty delicious lol. The crepe looks very presentable too and if you want to watch, you can see them make crepes. There are a couple of seats where you can sit inside too.

Greenacre Park

> a park in the middle of the city of Manhattan which plot twist: has a waterfall!! n it has chairs n tables to relax n enjoy! Yes. There is an actual waterfall in the middle of Manhattan. The beautiful mid-city escape is settled at 217 East 51st Street. Pull up a chair and enjoy. It is open to the public.

Highline

>its like a park that was built on an abandoned train track above the ground; its currently under further construction while being opened.  There are places to sit, and also to sunbathe.  There's also one part that lets you wet your feet a bit.  In the middle, they have food stalls to eat. Recommended to bring your own snacks along. Beware: has a lot of walking and the bathroom is usually far. SOMETHING I STILL NEED TO TRY: STARGAZING (Between West 13th and 14th streets New York, NY; FROM DUSK-9:30 N IS ON TUESDAYS)
Highline Stargazing

MET Rooftop Garden Cafe & Bar
>Usually i would've put this with the restaurant side but I hang out more here to relax.  This place is pretty big n its wierd cuz I had just recently heard of it lol. Many do not know of it so it wuz not crowded.  It turns out there's a special way to get there: 1) take a certain elevator that leads you straight there; 2) Go on the 2nd Floor and through a certain giftshop there is a stairway that will lead you there if you go up to the 5th Floor.  I'm pretty sure sure dats y not many hav heard of it; n dats pretty cool in mi opinion!  It's really like a grass garden dat has little shade but a magnificent view of the city!!!  What i found even cooler is dat thers a glass structured in a way dat makes it seem ppl across it are standing nxt to you but lik in a aura way.  Me n mi friend wuz pretty hyped bout it.  Also, it has a cafe that's mostly drinks: its from 11-15 dollars for its small selection of food; but they had drinks for under 21 too like juice n water THANK GOD.  The cashier was so nice to give us extra cups with ice; looks like dat part wuz free cuz others did the same.  Unfortunately, you can't bring any food or drinks to the museum cuz of door checkup so you hav to buy from the museum. CLOSES AT 4:30 PM.  Good place to really chill, and relax n see a good view of the city !! On top is also a cool exhibit called the MET Cloud City.
RATE: 3.3/5

Riverbank State Park Roller Skating 
>this place is in a LARGE PARK which i didnt know exist until NOW!  I've been looking for a roller skating rink for a long time and THX THE HEAVENS, I LEARNT OF ONE!!!! It costs $7.50/person (admission+rollerskate rental+ locker) What amazed me wuz that there wasn't as much people as I thought!!  It's kinda indoors rink outside. So its best to take the D train heading downtown and get off at 145th St.  There you will see a Checkers store and in that direction, just keep going straight!!!  It seems like a long walk, but it really is not.  Once you're in the park, just keep going straight and turn to the nearest redlike building when you get near the water as you keep going straight!!  I was really fun even though I had a bit of difficulty since the wheels are 4 wheels instead of just a blade like iceskating.  I skated for like 2 hours!
Around the 145 St D train Station and even closer to the 1 Train; Close to City College

RATE: 4.2/5

Roosevelt Island:

> A great place for a date but not so much for hanging out with friends UNLESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A PICNIC: I RECOMMEND BRINGING CARD GAMES, CAMERAS, BALLS LIKE SOCCER. FURTHERMORE, I recommend taking the D train and then transfer to the F train that will directly take you to the island. I also RECOMMEND taking the tramway later at sunset: THE VIEW IS MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH THE SUNSET. Furthermore, there's an H&M store if you want to just spend some more time, and it's conveniently beside the 4 Train station.    The island is right next to Manhattan and has two ways to get there: tramway (which is pretty epic) and the F Train!  The island is very peaceful and has a curfew of 8:00 PM which I find REALLY EARLY I KNOW.  The place has delis, stores and has a beautiful boardwalk and many luscious green meadow that are just perfect for picnics I say!  There's also a kinda big lighthouse there and an art gallery place called the Octagon.  There's also a bus transportation throughout the entire island but I dont know if its cheap; ppl say its cheap n practically free though.  Around the place, are playgrounds that are suited for tweens and lil kids n they have ping pong tables and basketball courts to play in!  I suggest this place is only ideal if you are going to live there, you are having a one-one date or the type to just have a picnic n play sports n card games.  After hanging out, you can just take the tramway off the island which yes is equal to the metrocard fare and then pay again to take the train - i no how u feel im cheap too.  But the tramway is worth it!  The end tramway station is around clothings stores if you also wanna go window shopping!

RATE: 3.4/5

The Cloisters

>a part of the MET Museum but it is in the upper town of the A Train.  the Cloisters are in a large park near a very large river (which you see on the way)  and it is an actual museum that seems to be mostly about Christianity in an Italian Renaissance looking place.  There are two small gardens that are beautiful, a cafe, many galleries, a terrace with a wonderful view, and a cafe!  What's even better is that the price is whatever YOU CHOOSE TO PAY LIKE A DOLLAR!  Warning: it's not really that far but I would recommend wearing sneakers because it's kinda hilly.  Also, there's not really places around to eat except the cafe.  You cannot drink or eat in the galleries but in the cafe, you can! You can still bring your water in though, but just in a bag!!

RATE: 3.3/5

Winter Garden Atrium (Brookfield Place)

>Beware, go down the Vesey St, AWAY FROM THE BROADWAY SIDE.  It's right across the building World Trade Center Observatory (or something like that).  Beware the place got something like 2 entrances.  RECOMMEND to get off the last stop of E Train - WORLD TRADE CENTER. The great thing about this place is that it's a great place to relax and sit under indoor palm trees of a mall filled with expensive things lol.  Outside is a beautiful pier that serves outdoor seating with a magnificent view!  You can see the water, the boats, etc!!  Great place to have a date btw!!

RATE: 3.4/5

Brooklyn

Indoor

Brooklyn Bridge Park (right beside DUMBO)

> The place has a breathtaking view of the Brooklyn Bridge and has many large lawns where you can picnic! There's also a place called Jane's Carousel which anyone can ride for $1-$2! I have to say though, well when I went, it was very small. There really wasn't much to do here either.  I went for the exhibit but a lot was under construction.  Well, I just have to say that this place would be a good place to relax and have a picnic. also, it's great if after hanging around Brooklyn Bridge Park, you walk on the Brooklyn Bridge towards Manhattan; its a beautiful sight!  

RATE: 1.8/5 (for the winter)

Brooklyn Museum

>Free first Saturday of the month, when there's big wine-sipping, DJ parties that draw half the neighborhood. 200 Eastern Parkway, at Washington Ave, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co
>a supply store for superheroes lol; however its in Brooklyn which is really far.  If you want to be a superhero, then hell go for it!

Hall of Fame Billiards
> a seemingly small yet really spacious place that has few arcade arcade games, ping pong tables, pool tables. The prices are pretty  good, the people are nice, and the place is pretty clean! I would love to come back with a couple of friends!

Coney Island 

>There's a lot of trains that stop there like the D (which u can take all the way).  It was pretty crowded in the afternoon so try to get there early.  There is an amusement park called Luna Park ($30 for 5 hr unlimited rides except the rollercoaster), the rollercoaster - is either 3 or less than 3 minutes and cost $9.  The park was not as crowded as I thought, there are lots of ppl but theres space to easily walk through.  There's also arcades and a bumper car ride there.  The beach, thank god is free!!  There are restaurants there like Grimaldi's, Applebee's, White Castle, Nathan's Frankfurters, and other stores.  They also have gift shops and an aquarium.

Alley Pond Park Adventure
>Wow, this place is really in the middle of nowhere!  This adventure course is free on Sundays and is a first-come, first-serve basis on months besides july and august.  In July and August, you have to make a reservation on Mondays as a lottery for the following Sunday.   The rangers only do one basic physical activity and one advance physical activity so it wasn't what I hope for.  Oh yeh, dis wasn't said in ther website, but for participation, one has to be 18 and older, FURTHERMORE, those who are less than 18 have to waivered by an at least 18 yr old guardian.  And bring identification that has a birth yr.  The registration times are 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM.  The courses are rockclimbing, ziplining, and other parts.  The rangers are nice and really interactive.  Oh yeh, to get there, take the F train to Union Turnpike and then take the Q46 bus to get there.  TRUST ME, SAVES A LOT OF EFFORT AND TIME NO MATTER WHAT HOPSTOP SAYS: DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS I DID.  Oh do bring food and refreshments cuz dat place is huge and is really in the middle of nowhere.  OH IT WOULD BE A LOT BETTER AND EASIER IF YOU HAVE A CAR.

New Year's Eve

Wow, I haven't been here for a LONG TIME. well, I just have to say sighh, as usual, I'm sorry! I'm so serious though; I really mean everytime I apologize for not coming back often to type here sighhhh.

Well, I just have to say that well new year's is coming up so I'm thinking I might as well put here all or at least try to put the things I remember here before next year or hmmm, mayb i should just make a future letter to myself. I mean I haven't done that in a very LONG TIME. As usual, I apologize...cry.

Well, I just have to say a lot has come through as this year went by. Many of the friends that I knew in highschool I actually no longer keep in contact with; unfortunately, well I mean it's to be expected though.  A lot of the friends that I thought we were close or at least close decently ended up being strayed away from me.  Well, I guess life just happens.  I mean I also notice that I've pretty matured in this one semester also.  Even though many people are all about trying to be the life of the party, though I still care a bit, I'm not really like that anymore.  Now I'm just like going with the flow and like less hyper and happy-go=lucky as before. I guess I just feel like that's not really me or maybe it was just not really my mood.  But it could be the first one though cuz it tends to occur often.  I feel as though that's acting way beyond me and I don't really feel like doing that. Hmmm, what else; well I actually notice that I really like learning in college lik damn lol! I think that's probably like the highlight of my semester; I've never been so into learning as I choose what I'm interested in and I'm pretty proud of it.  Lol, surprisingly, its mostly me who feels this; most people I've met are more like slacking off or like they don't really the learning part.  But I don't know why; I feel so amazing hearing so many different things just through college!  Furthermore, I'm more into those intellectual conversations a lot more!  Even though there are many times where I feel like I don't know what they are talking about, I feel pretty curious when it comes to discussing deep concepts and im pretty into it especially when I question and we discuss our opinions.  I'm really enjoying that.  The many things that I used to do in the past, I don't think I really do them anymore or at least I feel like I changed.  Well, I mean it makes sense, time does make you change.  It's either that or maybe I'm just more in touch with who I am lol. lol, I'm not really like an out-there sociable person I think so unless we really click.  Oh yeah, there are people who I actually dislike in college!  Well, even though they are like total strangers, I figured out I really don't like judgmental people.  Like I understand if we are different, but don't scorn me or like look down on me for doing so like geez.  But oh well, I have no interest in being friends with people like that. Sadly, I also noticed that when I came back from college, I'm not really the same with the friends who I felt awesome with during high school.  Like my friends would expect me to have innovative ideas on the spot or being like the creative ideas person or the risktaker, but honestly, I didn't really have any ideas like that. It was more like I mellowed out and just went with the flow like water.  Like when my friend was going on enthusiatically about romance endeavors, I honestly thought it was pretty childish and I tended to have like zero interest. Also, when I met up with another friend who I tended to play-argue with, when we "argueed" I was just like "oh whatever," Yeah, I feel like I've changed.  But, I'm not really complaining about it though; I'm pretty satisfied with who I am right now.  It's more like I just want to keep learning and talking about deep topics.  It makes my blood flow and gets me interested.  When I was talking to my friend about a serious suject, my other friend would just laugh and say something like we were nerds and talking about wierd topics.  But honestly, even though maybe I might have thought that before cuz we were very similar before, I was actually pretty into it and I wouldn't mind continuing to talk about the subject.  Lol, I guess, I'm more into deep topics than more into like common things. lol, Idk but that's what I think.  People might think that's pretty boring or something but oh well, that's makes me more interested.  I'm more interested in rational conversations. Well, I still like talking about hobbies and interests but the deep stuff is the best!  Oh yeah, I also realized that with my mellowing out, I'm not really into like giving like detailed funny stories of my life as before.  I mean I would give stories of my life but I wouldn't really make them funny.  I would just say them straight out.

Oh yeah, well leemme make a nother paragraph cuz this is just too damn long lmaoo.  well, I mean I noticed that I can talk to people first easily but the problem was just continueing the relationship though.  I mean one, I don't really have time and two, when I do, I feel like its way too late.  But, I mean, I think im getting better at that cuz before I wouldn't really invite people to hang out or talk to me, but now, I just do cuz I'm like what's the point in waiting?  If I want to, then I should just do it.  Maybe it was like my pride that prevented me before cuz I never did it; it was usually the others.  But it doesn't work like that in college; especially from what I learnt, you have to try to continuing the friendship.  Later on, if the person doesn't really reciprocate, then just find someone one else, that's what I think.  Though I don't really like or at least apathetic about the  majority of people I met during the semester, I know in time I'll find more friends who I can enjoy my time with.  lol, well, I do like my professors a lot though; I guess its because I talk about serious deep things with them and that's what makes me feel enjoyed.  Like I'm interested in talking to the professors more lmao. Well, I don't think its a bad thing but like I do want more friends at least close to my age lol.

Sadly, I think I'm becoming a little judgmental now sadly.  I'm trying to stay from that though; cuz my way of thinking is like: if I am judgmental towards others, then they will be judgmental towards me.  like i don't want a cycle to happen. and besides like the saying goes: birds of the same feather flock together.  If I am a judgmental person, I will attract judgmental people.  I don't want to be judgmental at all and what I'm thinking is: if we are all judgmental, there will come times where we will be judgmental towards each other.  I really don't want that type of friendship.  I want friendships that understand me and lemme have fun and give me new wonderful experiences and like I feel like I can be myself lol.  I want friends for life lol!

Oh yeah, btw, I might or maybe I might go into the creative fields lol.  I don't know but now, that I think about it, I think I like designing to create something lol.  I don't know but maybe I like that lol.  I might not want to be an engineer lol but I'm giving it one more shot with this semester cuz now we're actually gonna build something as a class project lol.  But, I'm exploring another field: its an acting class.  Well the ironic thing is that I'm not really going to see if I want to be an actor but its more like I might want to be like a playwright or like a screenwriter lol. Well, the first time I took a career possiblity exam, that's what it told me lol.  Ironically, the second time I took it, it didn't say that lol.  But oh well, let's see what happens lol.  Hmm, but yeah, for some reason, I like to design things so hmm I might be that lol, oh well let's see lol.  Only time will tell... But seriously though, I hope my discovered major is something that I love and I could be good/excellent financially.  I mean I don't want to hate my job but like I don't wanna be like a starving artist like geez.

Well, let me just add some new things; I guess advice to my future self lol

Hey, you! Yeah, you reading this! I wish you a happy new year and I hope you the best to have utmost fun, new wonderful experiences, and the best success you will have!!! Take care of yourself, and be yourself!!! Don't be afraid to do things and go chase after opportunities! Keep up to your work, but still have fun!!!

Laptop Heaven!!!

OH my god!! Guess what, I just got a laptop recently!!! I'm so freaking happy!!!  It honestly makes my life so much easier I swear.  Now I don't need to go to the computer rooms in the library just to do my work and I have more contact with other people!!!! Well, I might get a phone soon but I'm very close to broke right now so I really don't want to push it.  Oh well, all that matters at the moment is that I got a laptop yesssss!!!!!  I got so scared cuz at first, a friend and I were playing around and he shut down my computer in the unnatural way.  Turns out ur not supposed to turn off the laptop dat way sigh; u have no idea how much a pain in the ass it wuz to reboot everything lol
I had to do all of the introductory uses of a laptop and reboot my antivirus program.  sigh, but now all in the end, it was worth it!  Now its back to normal.  THANK GOD. 

I have to be thankful for my friend though, if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have gotten the laptop I wanted.  Knowing him, he's probably gonna go on all the technicalities and say but I barely did anything, I just led you to the place OR he's probably gonna get all fake conceited lol and say I know lol or you're welcome, etc.  Who knew Best Buy would be so wonderful?  I didn't think that they would be a great option for electronics!  That college senior worker was really helpful; thanks man!  I really like this laptop despite the earlier annoyance.  I wish him luck in Washington cuz he deserves it!!!  Lol, I'm really hyped over this laptop though enough to call her Bleue!! Lol, its a weird spelling and name but I just kept on seeing blue so I just wanted to make it that name + a lil fancier lol.  lol, now I'm ready for all of these assignments!  Come at me bros!! lmao, I'm being weird as usual which is a good thing.

Well, tata Blogger, it wuz nice seeing you again!  I'll try to type everyday now, TRY!  Until next time,
