Happy Long Weekend! (Random blabbering)

Ahh. What an amazing break I just had!! 3 days of relaxing, lounging around the living room while taking intervals between the TV and my laptop. My dad was out of town for this weekend and strangely, the energy in the house changed. Me and my mom felt as though a weight was lifted off of us. My dad is quite a (figuratively) heavy person to handle. I don't blame him though. He has a lot of responsibilities on his hands; being the breadwinner for our family, paying all the bills, and pretty much being the "nucleus" of the family. His stressful life doesn't really help my relationship with him. This year, I'm really striving to improve our relationship. I don't want to end up with one of those distant fathers. He's really important to me, even though I don't show it enough.

Apart from all the "daddy issues", life has been going well. I've become SUPER obsessed with interior design because I'm going to move into my parents basement after we renovate it. My dream apartment would be a very chic Parisian theme with dark hardwood floors, light furniture, and glass/mirrored accents. Some pictures for demonstration...:)

The reason WHY I'm moving to my parents basement is because I've decided to stay in my hometown to go to university. Thanks to some very wise advice from a fellow blogger (Sandra, http://www.5andrablogs.blogspot.com/) I think I'm going to go to York University for Biochemistry with a minor in Marketing and then pursue Biotechnology in U of T. :) This is my current plan but who knows how life will turn out?

Anyways, last week I watched the most amazing French movie called Amelie. Hands down, the best movie I've ever seen. It left me feeling so euphoric that I am STILL feeling the joy of that movie. Audrey Tautou, the lead in the film, is absolutely gorgeous and super natural looking. Watching Amelie kind of inspired me to go au naturel. I'm not going to paint my nails this week and I'm not going to wear any makeup. I think I may continue the sans -makeup look for a while just because I HATE taking make up off with a passion. Also, I notice I tend to stretch the skin around my eye and I do not want to create any wrinkles.

On to my fashion news....
I've been loving leather jacket + large scarf + leggings + boots combos lately. It's been SO cold here lately (duh, it's Canada, and it's winter) so I need to stay warm but I like to stay looking cute as well. I notice that when I am not dressed to the 9s, I don't feel as confident and as good. If I am in a crappy mood and I put on some nice clothes, it improves my mood.
Anyways, my mummy is nagging me to go organize my shoes (they have monopolized the entire closet) so hopefully I'll write another post soon.

Love,

allie

BY THE WAY,
The most hilarious thing happened to me. This guy who sat beside me in my Physics class for an entire semester ( who said literally NOTHING to me all year) asked me out :S. I didn't want to be mean when rejecting him so I asked my friend to tell him I mean no but then my friend turned it into this whooooooole joke and I don't think the guy who asked me out ever caught on because by the end of the conversation, he thought we were all going on a date (yes, the three of us).
