I Trust...

I trust my mom to always be there for me
I trust my dad to support me
I trust my brother to always have my back
I trust my friends to keep my secrets
I trust my best friend to tell me if something's wrong
I trust my boyfriend to never cheat
I trust my relatives to love me for who I am
I trust...

Facial Products That Work For Me

I'm always on the lookout for new facial products. I have oily skin and break out a lot. I always change my products but I have a few that I always keep around.



1) Olay Purifying Mud Lathering Cleanser.
I LOVE IT. It's a daily cleanser that deep cleans to purify skin's surface with the cleansing power of a mask. It's my favourite cleanser. It leaves your skin feeling clean, smooth and it doesn't dry up your skin. You only need a pea-sized amount.








2) Clean & Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub
I also love this product. It's awesome. It gently exfoliates to clean deep down-to-the-pores. When you It makes you feel refreshed with an unmistakable tingle of a really deep clean.



3) Nivea Visage Gentle Toner
This toner gently clarifies and soothes, leaving the skin soft and supple. It's alcohol-free and it doesn't dry out your skin. Afterwards, you feel clean and refreshed.

Black Shatter By OPI

Katy Perry recently came out with an OPI nail polish collection. It consists of five different nail polishes. 
 

1) Last Friday Night (light blue shimmer)
2) Not Like The Movies (gray gunmetal)
3) The One That Got Away (shimmery burgundy)
4) Teenage Dream (pink with rainbow-coloured shimmers)
5) Black Shatter (black with a shatter effect) -------->




I went to the mall about two days ago to buy Black Shatter. I went to about three stores and they were all sold out!!! As I was leaving, I saw a nail polish stand and decided to ask one last time. I couldn't believe my luck! This store had Black Shatter in stock!
I got home and applied Black Shatter on top of a gold-yellow base coat. It looked really cool! It takes a while to get used to the concept. If you put too much Black Shatter on, the shatter effect won't be as good but if you put too little, it won't look good either.
When I first saw the finished product, it was kinda weird and cool at the same time. Over time, you get more used to it.Each nail is different.
One thing is that you need a base coat. Preferably a light or bright colour. Black Shatter doesn't show as well on a dark base coat.
Over all, I love this nail polish. It's different and looks cool.
Two things that I dislike is that the nail polish wand had a bit of dry clumps on it and it cost me $20.
I would repurchase this.

Mistakes

I know what you're feeling,
But I can't let you go

It hurts to just look,
But I've got to move on

I feel so invisible,
When you ignore

I always get chances,
And I always screw up

That time I took a risk,
I regret it so much

I say I don't care and I'm over it,
But those are just lies

It pains to remember,
Rejection makes me uneasy

I wish it never happened

I want things to be normal again,
But the won't

I guess it's life,
 No one said it was fair

Poetry

If it makes sense to the author, it is a poem.
A poem is about the intentions of the author.

I Am From...

I am from cheese, caviar and mushrooms.
I am from Tim Hortons.
I am from Maxim.
I am from a lemur.
I am from my room.
I am from this morning.
I am from the last floor of the CN Tower.
I am from the road to success is always under construction.

What to Pack In Your Tennis Bag

The first time I got a tennis bag, I didn't know what to pack. I know I'm not the only one. There are so many essential things you need to have at all times. Whether you are playing a match or just out practicing, it is important to have these 10 things in your tennis bag.

1) Tennis rackets. You need to have about 3 tennis rackets in your bag. You can have more or less depending on your level of play.
2) Water. It is crucial to have water at all times. Getting dehydrated is not fun when you are in the middle of an important match.
3) Extra clothes. You need to have a spare change of clothes. Extra t-shirt, socks, and hats.
4) Towels/Wristbands. When you're sweating, it's good to have a towel/wristband on hand. It prevents slippery grips and you're not dripping in sweat.
5) Sunscreen. In the summer, you have to have sunscreen.
6) First Aid Kit. A pack of bandages is good to have in case of a blister/scrape.
7) Extras. You never know when you'll need extra overgrips, strings, shock dampeners or lead tapes.
8) Skipping rope. For your warm up, it's good to have a skipping rope on hand.
9) Food/Drinks. It's good if you have energy bars or energy drinks in case you get tired or have to play for a long time.
10) Notebook. It's a good idea to have a notebook. There, you can record your scores, mistakes, questions or things you want to work on.

This is what I keep in my tennis bag. It's good to be prepared. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hidden Truth

My rule book locked and loaded
All feelings been avoided
You say the words and you might be released

This pain could be my last
Some people call it pain deprived
I may be staring down an illegal sight

Nothing shocks you like a sunburn
Leaving my feelings inside
Suffering no man should ever know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I do this for my community
Without me, they will suffer
Too many things they don't know

With colours never seen
Reckless and unabated
They may take me
But never take us all

Nothing shocks you lie a broken bone
Leaving my feelings inside
Suffering no man should ever know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I know what you're thinking, I've been there before
So think of the times, the times we spent laughing
So think of the times at home (life without pain)

Now I find myself in my own blood
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never knew this kind of pain
But now I know the truth

I never seen any colour before
I've never felt any pain at all
And all this time I thought this is all

You know no one said there's more to life
Tell the community that it's alright, I survived
It will be difficult at first, but they'll get through
The Giver will guide them,
And they will know the truth
