Christmas charity event

December 7th

My mom participated in a dance act for a local Christmas charity event with her friends,  so me , my sister Sharon and Jose her boyfriend are invited to come.

Ive just moved in with them on Dec 4th, after a fight with fucking stepdad. It is him that made living in that house unbearable for me, so it is a relief i finally have a legit reason to leave that place. Though i do miss my mom and little sister , i wished they could come with me 8'(


I spent time doing my hair, trying out new things, but because we were rushing against time i couldnt take a photo before leaving the house. And alas it had to rain that day, so obviously my hair was ruined. I swear everytime it has to rain AFTER i went outside B[ so, no umbrella, had to block the rain with my handbag the whole time when we walked from the parking spot to the venue, my arms went numb after holding it up over my head for a long time.

Thanks to my mom being late, we couldnt get a seat, so yay, standing the whole night with nothing to do. The food they provided were ... so so, i would say horrible but it was free =A=''


Some photos from that day

Christmas staff dinner

In the afternoon, I met with my friend Galina to go see Black Swan, but we both forgot to check showtime online before hand >.>. After checking on my phone, I realized of the showtimes available are not working for my schedule , since i have to leave for staff dinner at 7pm. Though i'm very disappointed because i was looking forward to seeing it before it even released, nothing can be done at this point. So we decided to just hang around . Clumsy me also forgot wallet at home, and i wasnt sure that my boss gonna cover for us so we went to my place to grab it anyway.

First, me and Galina went to Aberdeen centre to check out their Christmas display. It was so cute <3, much nicer than Metro town's imo.
Gingerbread house so cute <3 <3

 We walked around checking out stores to see if they have anything good on sale, didnt see any, however thats better for my wallet anyway :3.

After touring all Aberdeen (it s not very big), i still had some time left so we off to Richmond Centre. Saw these super cute Owl handbag haha. Galina has an obsession, dare i call it that, with owl  (strange i know). Arent they just perfect for cosplay Harry Porter XD?

For some reason, we always spend so much time at the pet store. If i can, i would like a pet dog, preferably Husky <3. Cats arent bad, but dogs are a lot more loyal and cuddly imo. I had on a big bow that day with a small bell on it, and i discovered pets are really attracted to the tinkling sounds the bell made. This one kitten really enjoyed my bell and was so into playing with my hair , we happened to have almost exact same hair color x). It was so cuttteee. I can keep playing with it foreverr


When i had to leave for the dinner, i knew i was gonna be late. Good thing i wasnt the last one to arrive ;D. The restaurant was called ''Kirin'' (not the Japanese beer brand), and who knews it such a fancy place . We had Chinese standard 10 course meal.

Theres a small table next to ours, which the staffs use for preparing our food. They would first show us the whole dish on the big tray, then proceed to put on small plates for each person. I've never had servers put food on plate for me, definitely feeling like royalty right there. And also fresh plate every dish ;D

The best dish i had to say was the Baked Tapioca pudding *3*. My first time trying it, after going home i went to look for the recipe online, but didnt find the exact same one ;(. Oh well i can always go there when i feel like having it again


After the dinner, my co-worker offered me a ride (Yay!) . I was kindda surprised since usually she seems pretty indifferent, so it was very nice of her. No walking to train in the rain XD
