Didja Know?

Thank-you mucho mucho 

to the lovely Logan  (love her & her fun and informative blog) 

for awarding me.

♥

The rules around this award are to list 7 random facts about me.

Here they be:

.

.

.

1

 I have never eaten a McDonald's Big Mac... Not sure why.

.

2

I name all my favorite electronics. 

For instance, my Mac Book is Sir Baby-Sparkles & my mobile is Pork Chops.

.

3 

It's physically impossible for me to keep my room tidy. This is an illness that will never be cured.

.

4

 I like to smile at people even if I don't know them.

 They probably think I'm a creep. 

Its alright.
.

5 

My nose is very good at detecting smells. 

I think my keen sense of smell makes up for my horrible vision & hearing skills.

.

6

I'm terrified of getting older & growing up. I just don't wanna! 

I promise, I will probably be a little kid forever.

.

7

 I tend to leave everything to the very last possible minute 

& then panic about it. 

Its not a good fact about me.

 It's more a fault that I'm sure I will never get rid of.

.

I would now like to award

Blame It On The BAG

Neck & shoulder pain?

-Blame it on the bag.

Its my fault though :-(
I always pack for

"Just in case/What if..."

• I get hungry
• I Get caught in a natural disaster
• I Get lost
• I Get kidnapped
• I Get bad breath
• I Meet{stalk} a celebrity
• I need to glue something??
• I get caught in a sticky situation
• I get caught in a smelly situation
• I wanna show my unborn child
• I wanna return/exchange
• ...

Trust me, the list goes on and on.

When I cleaned out my bag, this weekend, I got rid of so many

EXPIRED receipts, EXPIRED coupons, EXPIRED food, OLD movie tickets.

Now that I have purged my bag of all those unnecessary items,

I wanna share :)

What is found inside a bag says a lot about the owner.

Your bag is an extension of your personality.

I LOVE seeing what other people have hidden away in their bags.

Hope you do too!

Little Things

Living in a fast pace society, we often forget to slow down to treasure and enjoy what we have.

Its no secret that I LOOVE shoes, bags, makeup, clothes & so on...

I is {shamelessly} materialistic

But, often times, its the little things that bring me the MOST

excitement and happiness.

Little things like these:

♥ When my 5 yr old baby brother kisses me after I have read him his bedtime story, and whispers,

"Jessie, your my favour-wit fwend"= Jessie, you are my favourite friend

eek! {My cold, little, black heart melts}

♥ When I make eye contact with a stranger, and we exchange smiles.

Its amazing how good it feels to receive a sincere smile. It brightens up my day.

Smiles are much better than scowls, so wear one. :) :)

♥The comfort & warmth of my boyfriend's hugs. I could be in the worst of moods, crying floods of tears, but once I'm held tight in his arms, I feel safe, calm and comforted.

Life is too good, remember to cherish the little things. ♥

Have a great weekend!

Big X & O

PS:

Comment me what little things bring happiness & excitement to you?

♥Comments also make me excited & happy too!

You Gotta Start Somewhere

Helloo? Anybody out there?


hmm..hmm..um...
How do i begin?


I have been sitting here, for the past 20 minutes. I have been typing, deleting, re-typing, and deleting, an introduction to my first blog post.

21 minutes later, and I have yet to come up with something I am satisfied with.

For this reason, I will just get right into it and simply list a few facts about little ol' me.

First off, Although I am a newbie at the act of blogging, the "blogging world" is far from foreign to me. For years, I have been following and reading blogs. Finally, in 2010, as a new year resolution and adventure, I have gathered the guts to start a blog of my own. :)

Ta-Da!

• My name is Jessica Mai and I was Born and raised in Beautiful B.C.
• Vietnamese Canadian (fluent in Viet)
• (proud) Book worm !!!!
• Fashion and Beauty addict.. its a sickness
• I wish I was taller. I think some people dont take me seriously, due to my height.
• I am shy when I meet new people, but once I know you, and we are friends, you are basically family.
• Celebrity gossip is my guilty addiction.
• I am extremely sensitive to smell and I cant stand strong fragrances or stink.
• I hate fighting.
• I Looove my mama's cooking. mmm
• I can eat ALOT.
• I am very indecisive because I am always afraid of making the wrong choice.
• I am terrified of growing up.
• I have never been to NYC, but I think I would love it.(Esp. if I lived Carrie Bradshaw's life)
• I LOVE laughing. :D
• I prefer yam fries over potato fries.
• Travelling is my favourite.
• I hate public transport. Unfortunately, I depend on it everyday. :'(
• I procrastinate too much.
• My vision sucks.
• My dad is my hero.
• I am very blessed because I have sooo many amazing people in my life..

So there you have it folks!


A sliver of me. You will soon learn more, as I pour my [cold,little, black] heart out, on this blog. This Blog is me. This is who i am. Here, I will express my emotions, thoughts, views, opinions, and truths about anything and everything thats on my mind.
