It's been awhile hasn't it? It has.  Catching a crazy cold took a toll on me last week (especially on Saturday, oh no).  I caught the cold from my sister, my dad, and about a million other teens that decided to go to school sick last week (what. the. hell. Stay home and away from a perfectly - then - healthy me, thank you very much).  Thank God I was able to finish the week out, but on Saturday I was a hot mess! Literally.  Both of my nostrils were clogged up and I could not breath (btw: I could not try to go to sleep with my mouth open, I just...ergh, can't), my eyes were swollen, I was freaking drugged up on medicine, and I was burning.  I was really worrying because whenever I get sick, I tend to stay sick for a loooong time, which essentially sucks.  However, that did not happen to me because today I feel fine (yay!).  Maybe it was because of all of the vitamin pills that my mum decided to shove down my throat? Hmm...who knows? Whatever. Moreover, I pray that this week will be good, go by fast, and the weekend arrives once again (homecoming in two weeks! yayyy!). So, tell me: how did your weekend go?

Prior to this past Saturday (September 21st), I never listened to Avicii. Now, when I say that, I do not mean literally. I mean to my knowledge. It is only when I came across their newest album True that I realized I have, in fact, heard this amazing dance/electronic guy before. His beats are simply amazing! The song that I recognized is called Levels and is Avicii's 2011 single. However, I want to introduce you to Avicii's 2013 album that I aforementioned: True. The album houses eleven tracks starting with Wake Me Up and ending with Long Road to Hell. Some featured artists on the album include Audra Mae, Karen Marie Orsted, Nile Rodgers, Adam Lambert, Linnea Henriksson, and Dan Reynolds.

After listening to True, I would probably rate it a 4.8/5.0. That is pretty darn awesome, if I were to say. The only reason the other 2 points are missing is because I (personally) would like the Tomorrowland version (feat. Joakim Berg) of Liar Liar than what is on the album (feat. Bondfire). However, that is personal preference, hence my rating. If it were not for that, it would totally be a 5.0/5.0.

To hear my three favorite tracks from the album, click the embedded playlists that are below.

The twenty-second has finally come and gone. I can now officially wear sweaters, scarves and boots without others looking at me as if I am crazy. And if they do, I have a plausible reason as to why, "it's Fall, of course!" It's funny as to how so many people are really excited for this season, although months ago we were dreading ever having to leave Summer (at least I know I was). However, the Autumn season is here and I am ready for the layering, haunted houses {I'm so going to Erebus again this year}, dressing up for Halloween {only because I cannot not go as on of the gals of PLL}, and smelling those Fall scents {ooooh, those sweets}.
Besides what Fall is giving to me, I have decided to give myself some things, as well. Oh, and please note that the only reason I am saying this publicly is because by doing this, I am kind of forced to comply as I hate letting people down, although I doubt most of you care, but moving on.

I am going to go on a weight loss diet. 

I am going to go on the diet simply because I feel very negatively about my body.  However, there is no reason for me feel bad for myself if I am allowing myself to get to the point where I dislike how I look. So instead of sitting around and doing nothing (hello! like I've been doing for the past year), I am going to get my butt up, work out (although I will be hating every moment of it), and start a healthier eating habit (of course, that's why I indulged in some Potbelly's yesterday). I need to push myself to do it. I need to. A healthier body is all I ask for. I am tired of looking at my size 14/XL clothes; I want to go back to a healthier weight of 130/140. And when I get there, I will be extremely proud of myself for my control on what I eat and I how I treat my body.

So for the month of October, my goal is to work on stop being so darn lazy and doing something about what I feel negatively about.  What is yours (goal, that is)?

I cannot remember the last time that I shared with you all what I am currently listening to. Let's pretend that it was a long, long, long time ago (which it probably was) and move on. All (or majority) of the tunes that I cannot stop listening to are below, with a player beneath it so that you can groove on with it. Enjoy, my little music buds! Leave some songs that you have been addicted to below - I would love to check them out. :) Have a great Thursday (who says that? Thursday is like...a nobody. haha).

Another edition of Weekly Bands is here again. Happy Wednesday everyone! How has your week been going? Mines has been tiring (tests here and there, studying, homework, current event papers, etc.). Friday is only two days away, then the weekend shall be here (wohooo!!).

Demi Lovato has always been an extremely talented person.  She can sing and act (plus she is an extreme beauty), so she is essentially a double triple whammy (haha, I love that word). The album that I am talking about is not new (it came out earlier this year, 2013), but I still want to tell all of you that have not listened to it, or did not even know she had a newer album out that there is one: Demi. This album has so. many. amazing songs. Soooo many. Demi has a wide vocal range, and she really knows how to use her voice. You can pop the CD in (or press play on your iTunes playlist) and let the music just play (off of shuffle) without skipping any songs. Now you know that if you do not need to shuffle the songs around, it is a really good album. Yep, yep. Props to you Demi! To hear three of my favorite tunes from the album, just press play on the players below. Fall in love. :) You're welcome.

Hi, guys.

I'm being a little spontaneous right now by writing this post while in ELA Class, while I listen to tunes.  Don't worry, I'm a pro at it. Just kidding. We do not have a teacher in this class (and haven't since the first day of school), so there is kind of a free reign as to what we can do this hour.  Lets look at it as a free hour. I love hours like this.  Since our school has a rotating schedule (a new class, a different hour everyday), I sometimes have this class (C hour) at the beginning of the day (like today; it's a C Day), the middle of the day, or at the very end.  I love that! A break from doing so much work throughout the day is awesome. I'm sure you can attest to that, no? Anyways, because I have nothing else to do right now, I'm going to leave you all with a list. We all write lists when we are bored...right? Or am I the odd one in the bunch? Oops...maybe, who knows. Just nod your head yes and read on.

One / I think I am falling in love with writing posts on my iPad Mini.  It's awesome that I can be mobilized, yet sending a post y'all way. Haha, it may become my preferred method over writing on my laptop (I kid, I kid. I love my laptop a lot more).

Two / I have a surprise to share with you all if I can actually get it... Even if I do not, I may still share it with you all. The surprise has to do with one of my fears, and something I am doing...hm... Can you guess?

Three / It seems as if everybody and their puppy (not mama; haha, I'm original, y'all) are getting sick over here.  Um, not cool. At all.  My dad is throwing up and feeling like crap; my sister is crazy sick, yet she still has to drive me to school, which means I am stuck in the car with a SICK PERSON who likes the windows to be rolled up (insert annoyed emoji face here - oh wait, I can 😒); and most of my friends are coming down with something.  Mind you, I have to be around these people. If I get sick, I am going to be pissed of (with a face like this - 😡 along with a non-existent middle finger emoji).

Four / This day needs to go by fast, so that I can go back home and sleep. I cannot wait until I do not have a direct schedule of when I need to get up (i.e. the summer and when I finally get out of school and own my own business - hopefully).  The morning sucks.

Five / I have my keyboard preset so that whenever I say "nothing", jk I'm on Tumblr pops up instead.  It was set when I still had a freaking odd obsessesion with the site (it goes on and off). Haha, do you think I'm weird now?

Okay, this has been a waste of your time, but if you are reading this now, then awww, you're awesome. :) Haha, and even if you stopped above (although you're not reading this), you're awesome too, and I understand because I have a short attention span (of boring things), too. Have a fabulous day! One more day until the mid point to the week, then Friday will be here in no time.

Prompt: Choose a word and search for it on Google Image Search. Pick an image that inspires you and write.

Hi, y'all.

It's the talk of the town (more like the fashion blogger's world). Try checking out Target, and I can tell you it can go one of two ways - you will find the bags, purses, and shirts in the women's section, and trousers, shoes, and shirts in the men's section, or you will find nothing because everybody went and bought literally the entire collection, so you essentially have to wait until a new shipment arrives. Who knows. However, I can tell you that the entire collection is amazing (especially this bag...okay, and this one), and if you did not know about the Phillip Lim 3.1 Target Collection that came out in stores today, then...yeah, I don't know where the hell you have been. You obviously haven't been on the Internet. Or around humans. (okay, okay, I'll just go with not been around fashion bloggers. Happy?)
I fell in love with majority (read: all) of the bags that this collection has brought into stores. Seriously - just look. LOOK. And trench coats are seriously in for the Fall 2013.  I remember that ever since I had JROTC (9th grade year) which, technically, was not that long ago, I have hated trench coats. I've despised their existence. Now, because I have been seeing so many fashionable, chic trench coats, my hatred for them has nearly diminished. Can I have? Someone? Anyone? No, okay...

What are you going to get from the Phillip Lim 3.1 Target Collection, if anything? Did you even know about it debuting in stores today?

I don't know why, but this past week has been extremely tiring for me.  School is still not getting it, and it's all exhausting the hell out of me. Therefore, this weekend I am planning on grabbing my favorite food (Xochimilco - a mexican restaurant in Mexican Town that you have to check out if you visit Michigan), catching up on blogs, scheduling posts for this weekend, going to buy a new bra, and catching up on How I Met Your Mother so that I'll be somewhat knowledgeable for the new [and final] season of the show. However, I am writing this now because I need to stop always scheduling stuff and need to live (and write) in the now.  I miss always writing stuff and then hitting 'publish' knowing that what I am writing is going live now. But hey! That's what being in school does to you.

The prompt for today is... Write 10 lines, each starting with the words, I don't...
