Best of 2012 -- Bring it ON 2013!

Hey! If you're reading this.. you're still here! I'm glad you're here with me! It's been a hectic year for me, and if you're feeling the same... guess what?

We've made it! 

We've made it this far through 2012 with only a few more days to go until we hit a brand new start, so cheers to the better beginnings! 

I wanted to share with you some of the best things that has happened to me throughout 2012...

1. You're still here with me. 

I started blogging on 16th January 2010, so it's been almost 3 years. Throughout the years, my passion for everything beauty has grown, my writing style has changed.. I have changed. I don't know whether the change in me is good or bad, but you're still around with me... reading and supporting this blog!

I wanted to take out the time to truly thank each and every one of you who are reading this. Thank YOU for sticking around. Thank YOU for supporting and reading my beauty blog! :) 

2. Friends. 

Old friends from highschool! I haven't seen them girls in ages now, but when we meet, we are still as close! I can't wait to see them again! I think the last time we went out together was.. er.. in September. Meep. 

And then there's Tezza, Amanda and Alice who I've grown with this year... I'm grateful for meeting every one of them girls! We can talk about anything... anything! ^_^

(Stolen from Alice) She made us her very own pop-up Christmas card! Cutest!!

3. My Phanily.

The Phan's family (lol) has gotten alot closer this year. I've got ALOT closer to my Mum. I've finally came to appreciate her work for the family, to raise up my sister and I. It seems like the bigger we're growing, the smaller she's getting... meep.

(One of our many cute photos together... LOL)

To acknowledge the hard work and effort that she puts into this family, I've been showering her with kisses.. she always pushes me away, but we all know that she secretly loves it. ^_^"

4. Finished my Certificate III course, on to Diploma!

I've finished my Children Services Certificate III course this year and I've started my Diploma course which should finish at the end of 2013. Fingers crossed that everything will be okay, despite being constantly told by graduates that it'll only get harder T_T

Here's me at TAFE with Tiger, Jeffrey the Giraffe and Bambi!! ^o^ Cute as hell!  >>>

I think that may be it.. LOL. I know, I'm a boring person. Meep. But I'm not sure how 2013 will be yet. I have my list of resolutions though.. hopefully I'll follow them through:

• Stop slacking in class. Put 110% of effort into work and stop failing those easy-ass classes.
• Be more punctual to class and to outings.
• Stop hoarding home make-up, finish the stash. 
• Forget about the past and look forward to the future!

I think the hardest of the list is not holding into the past. I hold onto too many things, way too many things. It's time to let go and look forward to the brand new year ahead of us! 

I'm also going to be turning 20 this year... a brand new chapter of my life! How scary, yet somewhat exciting... maybe. 

I'm wishing you guys a lovely New Years! Let's make the best of 2013 buddums! 

Tagged: Tell Me About Yourself

Right now in Sydney, the weather is extremely nice... So nice that it makes me feel so lazy, therefore today's post will be a laid-back and relaxing post (for me... maybe for you too). Nothing about make-up, skincare or haircare!

I was tagged and awarded the 'Tell Me About Yourself Award...... Of The Year (jokes!)" by Priyanka from TwinxNTrax. She has a wonderful blog, so do check it out! ^-^

Besides that, I'm just gonna jump straight into what I gotta do, which is to list 7 random facts about me.... LOL. This is gonna be interesting... I think.

1. I have this strange fear with sharp objects. Yes. We're talking about knives or scissors here! Sometimes when my mum (or anyone) holds up a knife which is pointed towards me.. I feel like there's a possibility that *what if* she accidentally stabs me or something along the lines of that... or dropping the knife and chopping off my 10 toes.

2. I also have this fear of turning on my Asian 'stove'. It's connected with this gas bottle which you have to turn on first, before turning on the stove. I'm always scared that it might explode into my face or something... I think I just might list out all my fears!

3. I'm very picky with my food, the reason why I always stick with Vietnamese/Chinese restaurants unless it's the basic English food such as my local steak. To share with you, I don't really enjoy Korean food, because I've grew up with Vietnamese food being super flavoured that Korean dishes most of the time are a tad too plain and bland. Just my personal taste.

4. I personally don't like the look of blue nails on me.

5. I read blogs, but most of the time I don't leave comments! Poo!

6. My favourite animals are pigs! They are just SO adorable that I really can't get over it. Hahaha! My first plush toy was a pig :)

7. I have this green blanket from Qantas Airlines which I've had since I was born (yes!) and I do hug it to sleep every night! Not sure why, but the blanket feels very cool!

Ah, that's 7 quirky facts about me! Hope you've enjoyed and thank you Priyanka for tagging me!
