27
I cannot believe I'm three years away from 30. I don't even feel like I'm 27 at all. I don't if it's because I still look 16 or that I feel behind financially. Technically, I should be making at 10-20K more than I'm making now. I should be living on my own. I should be driving my own car. It is getting to that, "you're 27 and you don't..." area. I should be more ahead in life, and I'm not. So, that's depressing in certain sense. I kinda don't want to live by myself though. I like having people around, and plus I'd miss my cute chubby chocolate lab.
I do feel 27 in the sense that I am more mature, and a little more wiser. I've grown into myself. I may not have it all, but I am happy with myself and the person I have transformed into. Like my friend said, we're in our prime. I'm more rational. I'm more reasonable. I'm more understanding. It's not that I didn't have these traits before but these traits have strengthen as I've grown older. I'm less dramatic, and more of an... adult.
I know who I am, and what makes me happy. I know now, not to dwell on the things I do not have yet. I know what I want, and what I don't want. I know what I will and will not tolerate when it comes to friendships and relationships. I've always been about "quality over quantity." I'm glad I realized this early on because now, I only keep people around that I know are loyal and trustworthy. The type of people that will be there for me when they say they will be. Why waste your time on people that don't serve a purpose in your life? I've even grown mature enough to forgive people as well though, and give someone a second chance realizing that you are, at times, that same lost and confused individual. We all make mistakes. Keep around the people that acknowledge theirs, take accountability for their actions, and apologize. The biggest lesson I've learned so far though is to never chase after anyone. If they don't care enough about you to want to stay in you're life than let them go. You can't make anyone stay if they don't want to, and you'll be a happier person when they're gone. You made it before them, and you will make it without them
As for birthday events, I didn't really do much on my actual nameday. My two co-workers took me out to lunch, which was nice. Later when I got home, my mom let me pick dinner lol. I think it's funny because I'm 27 now, but my mom still does this for me. I picked sushi because I've been craving it lately. It was funny though because I had sushi earlier in the week when Estee Lauder had Sushi chefs come in for lunch.
On Saturday, the weather was quite shitty but not enough to stop me from going to my birthday brunch at Max Brenner's with my bitches. I had my chocolate pancakes, a mimosa (which went straight to my head because I drank it on an empty stomach T_T), and chocolate fondue. We then proceeded to karaoke where we sang all our guilty pleasures like TLC, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, No Doubt and Aqua's Barbie Girl. I sang Taylor Swift's Blank Spaces twice. T_T I hate that I like that song. I just realized we forgot to sing a Spice Girls and NSYNC song.

I also got a Batman cake!!! I love my friends. They also hooked me up with some awesome beauty gifts I can't wait to try, and some that just regular staples that I ran out of. I hope the Viva Glam Miley looks good on me. God knows Viva Glam are my least used Mac lipsticks, but I need every single one. It goes to good cause though so it's okay, right?
I accidentally bought stuff at the company stuff yesterday. I saw these Smashbox lip liners, and decided I needed them. I bought a crimson red and a bright fushia. The swatches would not come off my hands, so I'm guessing it has staying power. I also bought a new tube of Mac Pro Longwear concealer. My current tube WILL NOT pump out any more product, and there is a GOOD amount left at the bottom. WTF. Is it not enough that the pump always puts out too much product?? Now this! Me and my co-worker were discussing in my cubicle how to get the pump off the bottle so I could get the rest of the concealer. Yes, this is what we do at work. I swear, I want to find the person in our company that is in charge of this kind of shit. The bottle/pump needs to be re-designed.
At least I now have the concealer though, and I don't have to worry about makeup for my upcoming photoshoot. I need to lose 3lbs again though. T_T I hate snowstorms, there nothing to do but eat. Luckily, I packed lingerie/bodysuits that cover my lower stomach. I was like 4lbs heavier than from Christmas. I'm already packed because this shoot got re-scheduled and I put together everything a week ahead of the planned shoot. My VS bag has just been sitting on the floor next to my pink heels for weeks now haha. You know what's really sad? I forgot I had bought that bondage/sequin lingerie set from VS on Black Friday. I don't know if I'll get to wear it at the shoot though since there is limited time and three of us. I always say I don't have anything to wear, and I end up brings 10 outfits. Smh.
I have to be good from now on. Strictly fruit and salad at work along with drinking my YourTea daily. I fell off that wagon on Saturday. I need to drink more water too, moisturize, get my nails done and eyebrows waxed. I'm a little worried about my hair since it will be three weeks since if it was lasted bleached. I'd say I'll workout and maybe do some squats, but I know I'm not going to. My ass seems to exist either way. I should probably get on that though, since my ass will be out for most cosplays.
Speaking of cosplays, I am hoping to start Poison Ivy. Pray for me. I have to watch sewing tutorials now. It can't imagine sewing leaves onto a body suit will be that hard, but who knows. The leaves are expected to get here March 6th? I swear, it didn't take that long the last two times I ordered them. I hope Amazon is fucking with me. Now, I have to search for extra leaves in my room. I hope I have enough... we shall see this weekend.
