Eid Mubarak!
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
My period started the day I tried to start fasting in June. So that was out for like a week. And then I tried the rest of the month but I could never make it until 9pm. Or begin at 2am. (Yeah, Basically 19 hours of no eating or drinking.) I got invited to the an Open House by one of the Malaysian Embassy Malaysian ( Read more... ) -
I got my first nosebleed today!
Is that, like ,a weird thing to get excited over?
Maybe... But I remember back in my last high school in Romania seeing an American classmate with a nosebleed and having her tell me she gets them frequently when she's stressed - we were applying to universities! - and me wondering when it feels like and being amazed. And hearing/seeing other ( Read more... ) -

I'm listening to my "slow" playlist on iTunes
And it's full of ballads, unsurprisingly.
I've already cried from "Four Seasons of Loneliness."
But I just started my period so it makes sense I'd be affected more easily with songs or books or movies or...really, anything.
Life is confusing...
But it can be so powerful... And I'm cowardly for wanting to hide away from my emotions. -
(Untitled)
I think I am slowly making friends here. But they are a lot more social than I am. But we also live so far away from each other.
Man, I was very spoiled living on a residential college for basically five years. -
I'm at O'Hare International Airport
My flight leaves in about an hour, we board in about twenty.
This past week has been very busy. I had a good time.
I cried in the security line. I'll probably cry on the plane.
I really don't want to leave. But I'm glad I even have this chance.

Ramadan has started. The thirst, the thirst...
It started Tuesday in Poland but we arrived at 2pm Monday. Less than 12 hours to drink and eat? No, thank you. Additionally, I had cramps in both legs from dehydration at 1am so I decided not to be crazy.
Here's the sucky thing about fasting during summer months in an Eastern European country - you can't eat or drink for more than twelve hours ( Read more... ) -
Power adapter working (for now); SHIRO COSMETICS AGAIN
The weight of my laptop's plug is such that it pulls my adapter partially out of the wall socket. I can get it working if I line it up just right, but it takes minutes and luck. Woe to me if I brush against the plug ( Read more... ) -
Things in bullet form, non-chronological
1. My group in Ethics was suppose to present May 28. However, we found out May 26 that the BBC documentary was based on falsified evidence. Gah. So the professor thankfully gave us a week's extension. We presented yesterday on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. I had learned about it in my Psychology "Research Methods and Design" back at Beloit. It's ( Read more... ) -
Shiro Cosmetics
I found out about Shiro Cosmetics a few weeks ago. It's an independent make up store, online only, run by geek Caitlin. It's 100% vegan and cruelty-free. She makes her own eyeshadow and lip color and blush. I basically haunt the eyeshadow, including collections like There and Back Again: A Hobbit Collection, The Fullmetal Collection, The ( Read more... )
