★ Why do people in Mississauga drive way more recklessly than in Vancouver? The other day, I had a smart car tailgating me on a city road and then speeding off at 100km/hr in a 70km zone. Chill, people, chill. No one's getting home any faster than anyone else.
★ Why do the catchiest songs have the most unoriginal lyrics? Is it because the beat matters more than the meaning of the song? Or...maybe most of the time when the song is being listened to, it's in a club and people are too drunk to notice the words. lol
★ Why is there a sudden influx of photographers and bloggers? And yes, I am one of the bloggers although I blog when I am inspired rather than for the sole purpose of becoming the next blogging queen.
★ Which is better - working or being a student? I've asked myself this several times. When you're working, you have a rigid schedule, yet you are making money and have your evenings and weekends free. However, it sucks if you are not a morning person (like yours truly!). Being a student doesn't necessarily confine you to the same schedule every day (yay, nap breaks between classes!)but you're constantly studying.
Oh, the random thoughts that pass through my head...:)
Apology

Yes, I know I've vanished for the last couple of weeks or so...but I just found myself uninspired to write, and I've been making a vow to myself to not blog just for the sake of having an entry. To me, this blog isn't about the number of entries I can conjure up, but more of a creative space for myself to share my moments of inspiration.
With that aside, I do want to write about something that's been on my mind.
Ever realize that to fix or at least alleviate a negative situation (especially ones you caused) between yourself and someone else, all you need to do is simply apologize? Seems like a no-brainer, but honestly, people sometimes make situations more complex and aggravating than they need to be. Rather than apologize, people feel the need to spread gossip (we're not in high school anymore!) and hurt others in the process. Sometimes all that's needed is a simple, heartfelt apology. If you really are sorry and feel badly about what you did, then just let the person know. It will honestly make the world a much happier place if everyone just stopped resorting to getting sucked into the rumour mill.
It's never too late to apologize.
Something to think about.

The Cupcake Epidemic

During our short stay in Kingston this weekend, Jon and I were shopping and noticed that the world is slowly starting to share my obsession with cupcakes. I don't mean just the food - I'm talking about things from stationary to nail files to tissues.
I decided to take a snapshot of every cupcake item we came across just to prove my point. :P I'm pretty sure I looked crazy running from bin to bin, exclaiming over the cute cupcake proucts, while taking a million photos.
...and texted to me all the way from Vancouver: cupcake band-aids! (Credit: Henry Jue)

Growing Up

“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.” - Walt Disney
It's funny how when I was a little girl, playing with my Barbie dolls, I always envied them...because they were the symbols of adulthood for me. I wanted to be older, have more freedom, and be able to do anything just like them. I even gave them the same age every time: 23. Why 23? I don't know. That was the age I assumed was when you were actually an "adult." What's funny is that I'm almost 23 now and even though I'm slowly becoming an adult, it's definitely a lot harder than I imagined it to be. I'm sure I'll get used to it with time but for now, it's a bit of a struggle. I have a very steep learning curve ahead of me. There's just so much more to think about every day - from work-related issues, to groceries, to bills, to insurance, etc. I'm always worried that I'm forgetting some detail. It seems that with the more freedom you acquire, the more responsibility you get dumped on your head.
If I could, I'd go back and tell my younger self not to be in a hurry to grow up. It's true that your childhood flashes by quickly, and yet, it's the most precious time of your life.
I miss being a kid. =(

Today's blog is brought to you from the comfort of my bed. Ahh~ technology makes me so lazy.
Some of you may know that I've been taking up a new hobby these past few months: jewelry making. I mainly work with glass beads (hence, the blog title) as I think they are the most elegant looking jewelry pieces around. I'm not that good yet, but I definitely learn something new with each creation.
Yesterday when I started working on a pair of earrings I was finding myself getting frustrated because there was just something off about them. In my head, I had envisioned just sliding a few beads here and there and finishing the earrings off with a ribbon at the ends- I figured it'd take me a good 10 minutes and then I could go back to watching my Korean drama. But jewelry making is an artform of its own and it can't be a rush job unless you want something disastrous.
So, I decided to sleep on it and try again today. And, after playing around and researching several designs online, I finally realized it was the balance between the larger and smaller pieces. Interesting.
I finally finished the earrings and just wanted to share a picture here of them. I used charms from the Black Lace line which can be purchased from Michael's. Cute eh? :)
And now my bed is becoming even more comfortable...time for some shut-eye!
Good night! ☆
P.S. Oh, and I did steal my title from the name of this woman's jewelry line: www.theartfulcrafter.com/. She had some useful tips for beginners like myself. Please check her out if you are interested in starting jewelry making. :)
