Oh So Awkward

Awkward - Marni Bates

"Mackenzie Wellesley has spent her life avoiding the spotlight. At Smith High, she's the awkward junior people only notice when they need help with homework. Until she sends a burly football player flying with her massive backpack and makes a disastrous - not to mention unwelcome - attempt at CPR. 

Before the day is out, the whole fiasco explodes on YouTube. And then the strangest thing happens. Suddenly, Mackenzie is an Internet sensation, with four million hits and counting. Sucked into a whirlwind of rock stars, paparazzi, and free designer clothes, she even catches the eye of the most popular guy at school. And that's when life gets really interesting..."

My thoughts on this book in 1 word: awesome! I'm quite le geek and awkward's stamped into my DNA, so this gem of a book struck a deep chord.

Pity I don't see anyone as dishy as Logan Beckett hovering about watching me from the fringes. Or an infamous YouTube vid of me going viral. Sigh.

Satchel Lovin'

Oh cupcakes and hummingbirds, these are cute.

The Mail Bag//Typo

Such cheerful candy colours!

The material might not be leather and I imagine they wouldn't be as sturdy as the ones from The Cambridge Satchel Company, but they're definitely more affordable at less than half the $ damage.

I love this shade of purple on bags :) 

Eye-catching, fun, yet subtle enough to add a touch of elegance to simple jeans and tee coordinates.

In Pictures & A Video

Yes, that's exactly how old I am now :P

It's a yummylicious strawberry cake in case you're wondering.

Sometimes I think I love myself (or my name XD ) too much.

Got these neat latte cups from a Nescafe event, but I don't know what possessed me to get both customised with the same name/text. Creative, not.

My Whatsapp profile picture at the moment.

Told ya I love myself too much. 

Fish chowder @ Fish & Co. I love peppery, creamy soups :P

Popped in at Fish & Co. one night after taking ages to decide what to have for dinner. Food's not bad.

These kids from Mittagong Public School in NSW, Australia are such sweethearts.

How lucky to have a teacher who's into Owl City ;)

The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter

Mmnn... Smells. So. Good! ^^

Madness

1 more day to deadline...

I want to sing/scream this out at the top of my lungs:

Sometimes...

Sometimes life sends your way people with so much passion and energy in them, you can't help but feel inspired to become a better person.

(Even though it makes you feel a little small when you measure yourself up against their innumerable accomplishments.)

Step by step, day by day, I'll aspire to get off my bum and do my best too. :P

Somewhere Out There

Strange, I'm not even a fan of Bruno Mars but I seem to be on a roll. Maybe it's got something to do with my fondness for Mars and Mars bars ;)

I super ♥ Somewhere in Brooklyn. The rhythm's catchy and the lyrics are, well, lyrical. Plus, it's so very infectious and brimming with hope!

My feet can't stop tapping, my body starts grooving on its own and I want to dance around and sing this whenever I hear it!

I know he's out there somewhere, waiting to be found :)

It's unfair she's out there

Somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn.
