Procrastination

So today's the fourth day of the third week of the twelfth month which means

ARGHHHDOSDJSAADFVNEFO!!!!!!! SCHOOL IS STARTING IN LESS THAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I HAVEN'T DONE ANY FREAKING HOMEWORK!!! ARGHHHAA!!

If you're those kind of students who always does their work the minute they reach home, you don't have to worry about not completing your work. Which means you aren't a procrastinator. Which also means you won't understand problems I, as massive procrastinator, face so you it'd be best if you go off somewhere else because I won't be offering any good advice you might be looking for.

Right, as I was saying, I haven't finished ANY of my homework. I haven't done ANY revision I planned to do. What happened??

Well, this happened.

*Rewinds back to October*
Oh good! Exams have just ended! Screw homework, it's time to partay!

*November*
I've still got a whole month of break the next month, homework can wait. Lemme do what I want first.

*December*
There's still, what, 20 days or more rest? Whatever, I'll eventually find time to do it anyway.

*Now*
DAMNITDAMNITDAMNIT!!! I've got less than a couple of weeks to finish two and a half months worth of homework!!!



Often, I plan to be like this:



During the break, I planned to finish and revise my freaking homework so that I wouldn't have to struggle in sec 2.
But what did I end up doing? What did I do during the super long 2.5 months of break?



Yes, yea. Organise a timetable so that you know exactly what to do rather than waste precious seconds of your ticking time bomb life. But you know what? I've tried, and I'm extremely maddingly bad at sticking to schedules so timetables doesn't work.

But when I actually finally force myself to do the work, this happens five minutes later:

 

And then even if my brain is rioting a protest against that, my body just doesn't give a damn and this is what happens:



So yea! This is my story of my extremely severe case of procrastination! Unfortunately, I haven't found a cure yet and I'm really sorry if you were pissed that you didn't find useful and helpful treatment tips. HAHA.

Extreme Negative Fangirls

According to dictionaries that I've looked up (don't judge, I actually did my research before consulting this matter m'kay?), the word 'fangirl' means the following:

Urban Dictionary: A rabid breed of human female who is obesessed with either a fictional character or an actor.

Dictionary.com: an obsessive female fan.

Free Merriam-Webster: a girl or woman who is an extremely or overly enthusiastic fan of someone or something.

I won't explain any further what fangirls are because c'mon, I'm nice enough to provide the definitions from dictionaries above and if you still don't understand, then your comprehensive skills are disgustingly horrible and you should probably go find some ABC toddler websites and start your basics. I hear babies are really great learners so no worries, you'll get through in a day or two.

Right, to begin with, I have a really bad impression of fangirls. I never did understand the things fangirls always do, like the notorious stalking and squealing, and I find it really annoying and immature. If you're a fangirl, be it the ones in mildest stages or the rabid hybrids, I suggest you resume googling pictures of your idol's brother's friend's father's aunt's goldfish. Go on, I'm not stopping you. I'd hate to.

As I was saying, it gets really irritating. The impression I get from fangirls are the girls who are incapable of doing anything except stalking, squealing, mooning, swooning, obsessing, and thinking about their idols 24/7. They're the ones who look up their idol's addresses, have dreams of them each night, wake up with them at first though and so on.

What prompted me to address this matter was when I found out that a certain YouTuber's brother was harassed by crazy fangirls when they somehow found out about him. Then starts the question bombing in which is directed all at the YouTuber himself, not his brother.

Imagine what is must have been like for that little brother. It gets annoying, and although they might be blood-related, they aren't exactly carbon copies of each other. They all different individuals themselves, and if you wish to ask a question or something similar, ask the person himself, not his siblings or whosoever that it might be related. What message does that seem to convey? That you're only interested in only the YouTuber himself, and you're using his brother to contact him.

Futhermore, these Fangirls also attacked this innocent sibling by insulting him, claiming that he will never be as good as his brother, putting him down etc etc which I think is unfair because, hey, who are you to judge and compare? As I've said, they're different individuals and you can't compare like that because each has their own strengths and weaknesses. It's unfair. In my opinion, the only fair way to compare a person is to compare with the person himself.

What pisses me off is that they criticize others over innocent, petty things that weren't part of their business in the first place. I strongly believe that criticism is considered okay if you think that something is unfavorable, not up to expections, not good enough etcetera etcetera, and that YOU HAVE FEASIBLE AND DOABLE FEEDBACK FOR IMPROVEMENT. Otherwise, it's pretty much considered as whining because obviously you're just waiting for people to solve your problems.

Phew, that was a pretty long rant that got a bit carried away, but I'm glad I got that off my chest. It's just that the world is too unfair sometimes, yknow.

The Callieo Fashion Style

I'm almost laughing as I'm typing this, because tbh, fashion is so NOT me. I couldn't care less about fashion, but come on, I wouldn't wear any trash bag even if it's comfortable. I mean, I wanna look nice and presentable too.

Although I don't unnecessarily go to great extents for fashion, I still do mind about the way I dress. I don't have a particular distinct style, but as long as it's comfy, casual, and uniquely me, I'm up for it.

So if you're those kind of people who likes really comfy outfits and couldn't care a crap about choosing but would really like to look presentable enough, let the all-round amazing Aria give you some handy tips.

*Do note that the tips suggested are more suitable for summer wear because I live in a tropical country and it's practically all sunshines and coconut trees the whole year round.

1. The outfit you pick should be comfortable.

That's the most important rule in Callieo fashion. Don't go wearing trash bags of course, even if it's comfy, because that's so ew.

2. Be unique. Not too unique in that you attract attention, just different. Unless your aim is too do that, go ahead.

For the top, I usually like simple, printed tees. I don't really like to go for the graphic tees or the 'cool' ones with really rude words because that's so mainstream. Practically all my friends own those kinds so that's a no. Witty shirts are more similar to my style so I'm more likely to pick that.

Skater skirts are one of the easiest to match with and if you don't own any, you're missing out. Any skater skirt with a casual top, BAM, they're most likely to work. But if you don't like skirts, denim shorts would be great too. Personally, I prefer the skirt, but c'mon, shorts have their benefits too. At least they don't go flying around and revealing even MORE skin on a windy day. It's up to you.

3. Pick a good colour.

Idk much about colours and how they go with your skin tone so you can look that up a bit and find out more about it yourself. I think cool colours like blue look pretty good on me, so I have a disgustingly huge amount of them kept in the closet.

So that's about it! Hope it helps although I think it didn't. Much. Because that advice was purely from a 24/7 nerd slash geek that I am.

Lol.

XOXO,
Aria

My Favourite YouTubers!

Everyone knows YouTube is amazing, even more so with YouTubers! They're hilarious, funny, and they somehow always manage to make my day brighter.

Without a particular order:

1. danisnotonfire


Dan is so damn sarcastic and articulate and relatable I can't help but love him.
Here are some gifs to convince you.




There, convinced now?

2. Motoki Maxted



All of Motoki's vids are high in quality and not the mention, extremely amusing too. I like his humor, and I think he's definitely one of the YouTubers who should deserve way more subscribers. Go check him out. 

3. ThatcherJoe



Joe is quite literately, one of the best people at doing impressions, or maybe even the best, I've seen so far. He's so versatile that he could practically be any character he comes across. It's amazing and admirable at the same time.



Heck, I bet he would make a better Christian Grey than whos-that-guy.

Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38 Pen

I love this pen a lot, like seriously. I always like to use this because of it's fine tip and it writes easily. I hate it if the tip is 0.5mm or more because it's just too thick for my liking and I usually end up with an incomprehensible scrawl, because admittedly my handwriting isn't one of the best especially when the ink is thick.

BUT, the problem is, I always drop the pens. Yeah, yeah. I'm clumsy, and I always have the habit of twirling pens and then dropping them (hehe that's just me). It's fine for other pens BUT NOT THIS. Once you drop the pen, there's a 96.47% chance that your pen will DIE, IT'S THAT SERIOUS GUISE. It will just stop living it's life and no matter how you try resurrecting it, IT'S GONE FOREVER. I can't even count how many times I had to buy a new pen because of this, and it's not cheap 'kay. Imma jinx and everytime I drop a pen, it just had to be more than 80% full of ink. I drop it. Aaaand the 80% ink is wasted, along with my money. Rest in peace my baes.

Asocial Personality?

Before I begin, I have the urge to correct any clueless humans out there. The term 'anti-sociality' isn't the act of not socialising. Asociality is the correct word. If you have originally though that anti-sociality was the correct word to describe people who hates talking like me, you were misled.

So what's the deal? Not much really, just a little curious about my personality. Unlike many people, I get really drained if I go out with friends for a long time. Although they are my friends, I feel reluctant to interact with them and rather compelled to just shrivell back to my little shell of blissful isolation after hours with them. Where it's just me and my thoughts floating around.

Recently, I broke my own record of going out with friends 3 days in a row. The first day was pretty cool, although I experienced the urge to hide into my 'shell' during the last few hours. The second day was fun too, but the last day? All I felt was reluctance to get out of bed, get out of the house and into reality outside. I was groaning internally but I convinced myself to go anyway because, what kind of friend am I to reject her friend?

Fast forward, the day's over and I felt kind of... relieved. I can hear your incredulous 'what?!' now. Weird right? I felt relieved when I should have missed her or something. I was relieved because I could go back to my little shell again.

I'm highly introverted which is why I experience all these stuff. I guess I'm considered asocial too. I just suck at conversations and interaction because I'm mostly quiet when I'm around people, even with my buddies. It's like a chore for me to start a conversation and I just smile at whatever people say. Like you know, just so that they can differ me from the stone wall.

As a result of my asociality, I have a lesser number of friends compared to an average secondary school student. I would say I'm generally a nice person, although I can be a little blunt at times but I would say the fault lies mostly on my asociality. To be honest, I don't exactly have a good friend in my class. It gets lonely at times even when my friends offers me to tag along with them so that I can avoid looking like a complete loner. I feel like a third wheel and although I admit I sometimes like being a third-wheel, it doesn't mean I like to be one full-time.

On the other hand, I have some pretty close friends in my CCA which I'm happy of. I like talking and having fun at times, but there are also times which I want to be left alone. Asociality isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes I think I'm a little too asocial and I feel lonely at times. Even to the extent when it can blast into a full-blown existential crisis where I start to question the point of living. This is no joke.

Asociality is okay if it's part of you because it's what makes you you. But do do it in moderation, because you might end up feeling lonely if you don't.

The Never-Ending Cycle of a Human Night Owl

What happens if you oversleep during your afternoon naps and end up awake throughout the night? You'll turn into a night owl.

It might not necessarily be a bad thing if you can adapt to it, but it is if you can't especially when you have to wake up early in the morning during exams.

Welcome to my life.

It all started with staying up late at night, thus leading to sleeping late. Wake up at 6am after less than 7 hours of sleep with a grouchy, reluctant mood. Wash up, eat breakfast, get dressed, go to school. Comes back with thunderously bad mood stemmed from the lack of sleep. Eats lunch, shower, and goes to nap.

Next thing? The clock reads 5.30pm. Bummer.

I've overslept my nap.

And now I feel so hyper even though my mind and body should be shutting down.

The night passes once again with me staying up late.

I could use an alarm clock during my naps but really, ever hear of this?



Screw alarm clocks, this is what I end up doing instead:



Even my alarm clock's afraid of me... sue me for clock-abuse!

XOXO,
Aria
