Emerald

I have officially turned into a shop-a-holic.
Went out with the girls today for some shopping. Had my eye set on a lovely white dress from Cotton On back home but since I didn't have much space in my luggage bag to bring it back to JB I thought I'd be able to buy the same dress here instead. Much to my dismay, the dress that I was looking for had sold out -.- ALL the colours and ALL the dresses. Imagine that. 
Anyway we continued walking around. Bought another top from MNG since their sale was still going on. Checked out stuff at Top Shop but nothing caught my eye. 
And then we went into Dorothy Perkins. Usually most of the clothes there are only so-so. But this time round: OMG! Everything was so lovely. The dresses were so beautifully designed and they had so many coloured jeggings I fell instantly in love. Walked around and found a pair of dark red jeggings. It was a size too big though. Tried on a beige one and it fit perfectly but I didn't want that colour. And then I saw this emerald green one. 
Tried it on and it fit like a glove. Saw the price and handed it back to the sales girl. I was miffed. Absolutely miffed.
Silently did some calculation in my head and realized I could actually afford to splurge a little since I got all that Christmas and New Year money. 
And I bought it.
OH!
I bought it.
We're all gonna be dressed to kill tonight.
*Happy sigh.*

Do you have any idea how good it feels to actually own something you really, really, REALLY want?
Yes.
Me too.

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...

Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least. Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely. Went shopping today straight after class. Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit! Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY . I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants. Gah. Removed the button and adjusted ...
