On the last day of May (personal)

I'm one of those people that has to want to do something to do it. Lately, I just don't want to blog. Or do anything else for that matter. I'm feeling really disconnected from everything. I'm sleeping too much, watching television all day, never going out aside from school and work: I'm lifeless! I feel almost trapped in how I'm living at the moment.

I don't like it at all.

But then, I really don't know how to resolve this situation. I like doing nothing because it means I don't have to think. It's nice to not have to think sometimes, right?

I need some sort of stimulation. Everyone is so content with doing nothing, and I have become that way now, too. I don't ever want to be content with doing nothing. That doesn't sound like living to me.

Tomorrow is the first day of June. I have to be awake at 5:30 AM because I'm volunteering at a golf tournament. I'm going to take that as a fresh start and try to build some sort of routine out of it. I just want to turn my life around and be inspired and motivated to blog, exercise, ANYTHING.

I'm not only letting other people down at the moment. I'm letting myself down.

So here's to motivation, inspiration, stimulation... and everyone who's looking for them ♡

Am I the only one ever feeling this way...? (; ;)

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts ~

I'm currently spying on the maid to make sure she does her job. Lately they have been really lazy, so I've just been cleaning my own bathroom. She seems to be doing more than the last guy... hmm...

This blog post will be an incredibly random assortment of pictures. Because having an iPhone makes me a lazy blogger. Something's better than nothing, right??

Also, remember how I talked about that evil thing called summer school? Well it teamed up with work and now they are taking over my life.

I need to come up with some type of blogging schedule or something to keep me on track. Are y'all even still interested in this thing u_u

I went for dim sum with my friend Jenn the other day.
I tried it all, but I didn't like a lot of it x_x;;

I eat at Whole Foods way too often... but can you blame me??

My aunt gave me $40 for my birthday, so naturally I went out and bought
a Hello Kitty rice cooker.

I got this rug at IKEA for less than $5!!

iPhone cases ~ both for $4.98 (including shipping)
The black one is for my kitten :3

DECOPIC iPhone app *~*

Catrin bought me this Rilakkuma towel for
my birthday <3

My hair is doing this weird ombre thing.

***I apologize for blogger's disdain for iPhone pictures... they just won't flip the way I want them to.***

I promise to try for better posts D; I have May's MyGlam bag to review and maybe a new Dining Out post! I really appreciate all the support and comments while I try to get everything figured out ☆☆☆

Don't forget to follow my twitter and instagram (ohdeculture) for daily pictures and randomness ~

Time flies when you're...

GOING TO SCHOOL DURING THE SUMMER.

Summer school should be illegal. Who has a large enough attention span to listen and actually learn about macroeconomics for four hours every Monday and Wednesday?

*crickets*

That's what I thought.

Originally I was going to post about my birthday presents ~~~ but some of them still haven't arrived, and then I also decided that some of them are special to me and I don't wanna share! (lol, but for real I'm lazy) 

I did get an iPhone though, and with that comes spiffy apps I could never use before! So feel free to follow me on instagram (username: ohdeculture), play a game with me on draw something (username: ohdeculture), or visit me on kawaii pet megu (username: アンディ megu name: ナナ)! I also have whatsapp :3

And I guess I can share another present with you...

My new Michael Kors Hamilton bag ♡♡♡ thanks, grandma!

Now here are some coords ~

dress : Roxy
creepers : TUK
rosary necklace : F21

dress : F21
wedges : Bakers
ring bracelet : F21

I'm so proud of myself. I've been buying accessories and my collection (albeit tiny) is growing ^ ___ ^ I've also been trying out some new hairstyles and makeup. Who knew I would learn to love lipstick and hairspray??

I know this post is short. I have zero motivation at the moment. I'm telling you: summer school just sucks the damn life out of you.

Catch y'all later (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ

21st Birthday! (part two, 5/8)

So the day of my actual birthday we went toooooo... EPCOT!

My parents and sister drove to Disney to spend the day with me, along with Mel, Carlie, Sarah, and my roommates ♡ it was a lot of fun!

B-E-A-UTIFUL

The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival was still happening, so that was a pleasant surprise!

21st Birthday! (part one, 5/7)

I turned 21 this past Tuesday ^ ___ ^

I have way too many pictures I want to share with you all, so I'm breaking up my birthday celebration into parts XDD;; They'll be mostly pictures with captions (and a few stories thrown in there)... I hope you all don't mind > o <<


The day before my birthday, Sarah, Carlie, Mel, and I all went out for a pamper day ~ mani/pedis, makeovers, The Cheesecake Factory... it was a really nice and relaxing day ♡ we ended the night at Applebee's where I had my first legal drink (●ゝω)ノヽ(∀＜●)

I got my makeup done at MAC ✿

he did such a great job, it was worth every penny ~

Oneeee is the loneliest number that you ever kneeeeeeew ~ ♪♪♪

I have cabin fever.

90% of my friends have gone home for the summer. That means I have to do things alone (´Ａ｀。)

I don't like doing things alone, so I don't leave my apartment.

Which circles back around to my cabin fever.

I finally told myself yesterday: "SELF, YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING." I didn't have to work, so I forced myself out. This is what ensued:

I paid $1.36 for both of these pairs of shoes. I had a gift card and a birthday coupon ~ I was in need of some good summer shoes... why did I never go to DSW before??

IKEA is the best store on the planet, and I was not the only lone-wolf shopper there. I originally went there just to eat (only $10 for alllll of that), but then I ended up wandering around downstairs for almost an hour. My phone also died which abruptly ended a conversation I was having with my grandma. How rude! No wonder I'm getting an iPhone! Sorry grandma :(

I bought a cup. Because I like cups.

And I also bought a frame to house THIS MASTERPIECE:

Dish drew this for me, and I am in looooove with it ~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) y u so talented ?!

After that I went grocery shopping, and then when I got home I cleaned my entire bathroom and bedroom. I got everything done which means that now I can just relax until my birthday. I have some pamper activities planned for Monday... and then on Tuesday I'll be celebrating!

Now I have to go to work. 3 MORE DAYS, 3 MORE DAYS!
