Friends Cut

Why do I always hate doing these?

I've been through my stats and found out some people only commented 1 (once) in my journal this year, which matches to the people I hardly recognize on my f-list.

No hard feelings, of course, but I'm here to get to know people and it's very hard to do if we don't comment each other's posts ^^;

COME JOIN THE FRENZY!

I've done a small friends cut.

I hope there's no hard feelings, babes :(
I removed people I didn't really click with or didn't comment on my last posts.
I hope you can understand!

Just letting you know I'll be doing a friends cut soon :( I hate doing these because I know some people would feel upset at me (like I sometimes did when someone I liked cut me) but lately I feel like I don't know half of my t-list. Some of you guys comment pretty often but... I just don't know what to say in your journals? With some others I haven't really connected, and it's been months since the last friending meme so.... I'M SORRY T________________T. Why do I feel so guilty? ;_; Please don't think I dislike you or that I think you're bad people!! You're all lovely and good!

“Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn’t have to DO anything. That’s why it’s called “falling” in love. People in love sometimes say, I was swept of my feet. Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU. Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It’s a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse’s idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, “Am I with the right person?” And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.

This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it’s learning to love the person you found.People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.

I’m not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you’d feel better. But you’d be in the same situation a few years later because (listen carefully to this) the key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it’s learning to love the person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable. Love is therefore a “decision”. Not just a feeling.

Remember this always: the universe determines who walks into your life. It is up to YOU to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go!”

Weather: Starry .

The coming one is the last week of my vacations and one that will be very hectic because I will be preparing my final exams for the ooother week (week of the 29th). That's why this journal will be on hiatus for that period of time).

HIATUS
20/7 ~ 2/8

This just means I won't be posting as often as I usually do . I will keep reading your journals and commenting (if I have anything to say) like usual though .


Teeth Cleaning

Yesterday we sent Pina and Juka to the vet to have their teeth cleaned . They had already run lots of test analysis to check they were alright and would respond just fine to the anesthetics, but the risk was still there . I was scared as shit but thankfully everything went smoothly . The only one who had some trouble was Juka, because he is allergic to one of the components to the anesthetic, so he is still stressed over the procedure . Pina came running from the cages room running towards the reception XDDDD. She was like anything ever happened to her! It must be her thyroid medication *lol*.

She started crying and getting really anxious when she got home, though. We could barely stand it anymore. After around an hour or her crying and shuffling around, we thought that maybe she wanted to pee. She did. She peed and pooed for 20 minutes. We had COMPELTELY FORGOTTEN Pina has really strong manners, so she didn't pee or poo her cage for the whole day. She doesn't even dare to pee in the house, even though we aren't strict about it. She's just like that .

Anyway, here's a before-after picture .





Two days ago I went grocery shopping around the neighborhood with mom and found this cute agenda from 47Street , which is a widely known teen brand here in Argentina (and they basically have the best designs on agendas). They are a tad expensive, but they are worth it . I specially like the organization of this one . The only thing it's lacking is a monthly calendar, but hey, I have the one I have built myself! .

Now I'm going to get ready because tonight I'm hanging out with Antonella, my childhood friend that now lives 5 blocks from the place where I study Japanese!
It was so nice seeing her again...! .
And she seems to be the same gentle, humble girl she used to be .

Anyway, see you after the final exams are over!

Mood: Upset.

Thinking: 5 more days... 5 more days...
Weather: Sunny .

My post was supposed to be quite positive today but... I just feel really bitchy and upset at the moment and need to let it all out, to the point that I feel like I need advice from you guys.

I never truly lie on my journal (or twitter). I'm just the way you perceive me here: generally very positive, always looking for the good in every person and situation. And as a result of being this way, sometimes I overlook some things that shouldn't be overlooked and end up forgiving/letting pass things that shouldn't be forgiven/let pass. Basically, I feel foolish.

My nearby friends never make the effort to meet up with me when we're barely 30 minutes away from each other's place, and when we do, the things we originally planned never happen. Remember the photoshoot Wada and Cata promised me 2 years ago? Well yeah, it never happened, but we are supposed to do it this month and they haven't even contacted me ever since I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY WANTED TO DO IT AT THE BEGINING OF JUNE.

I feel like I'm not standing for myself. Like I'm not making people respect me and I'm considering my friends people who don't even move a finger to see me and catch up with life.

How is it possible that Marie and Sae, who are over another fucking continent, would meet up with me more frequently than these two if they ever had a chance to be physically close to me? And we don't even need anything complicated: bedroom, snacks and movie times starts rolling and we don't even spend 1 fucking hour planning it. We have a 5 hour difference, unni works a lot, Marinnie studies a lot, I study, do pilates, Japanese and Korean and we STILL find the time to catch up and keep in touch! I don't think they (my nearby friends) have en excuse: if they love and care about me, they WILL make a space in their lives for me, right? Well, that isn't happening, and I'm really tired of going after them, always asking "hey, when can we meet up? I miss you guys".

What do you think about this guys? What are your 'friendship standards'?

Mood: Content. .
Listening to: 붙박이 별 {Infinite}.
Thinking: Swimmiiiiiing~
Weather: Sunny .

. I'm trying to update more frequently because now that I have more time I realize I've missed writing on my journal a lot! ;-; even though half of my f-list has emigrated to other websites lol, which is the reason why I've added a few new people to my friends list. WELCOME TO YOU ALL .

And, as you can see, I drastically changed my LJ layout . Click to see it! jeune_fleur jeune_fleur jeune_fleur. I needed a big change. The old layout reminded me of not so positive things and yeah, I know it's just a layout but... you know XDDD . I love how it became simpler and how I gradually came back to my beloved flowers lol. I can never part from them! .


Bedroom decor

To start with, I want to show you two new pieces of furniture I got from my boss (or should I say ex-boss/call her by her name? XD). They are just two simple square boxes, but they came in so useful! I spent two mornings painting them white to match my room (they were originally pink and green) and also re-organized my stuff in that corner a little better .


Overall look of how that part of my room looks like now. Yes, I was in my pajamas XD.

El Tigre

Past Saturday my mother, grandma and I went to El Tigre, one of my favorite places to go . Fortunately this time we explored some galleries we hadn't explored before, and found an amazing store full of beautiful dresses! . I had foudn a really beautiful black chiffon dress with red flowers and gosh, I was so tempted to buy it, but last minute I decided not to, because I don't want to owe my parents any money. I can live without a dress (did I just say that for real? ).
We also saw some cute puppies for adoption in the gallery . There is like a tiny adoption shop there that encourages people to adopt instead of buying, on which I totally agree because there are so many poor stray dogs that need love and a good home . Next time I go I promise to take more and better pictures! .

I don't have an outfit shot, because everything was improvised and I had to do my make-up, hair and choose an outfit in 20 minutes. Hahaha, record time for me! .
I just have two selcas I took in the car on our way there.

Game of Thrones


Started watching it with Marie and Sae and OH MY GOSH I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS, LEMME SPAZZ SAJBFVAYGVADYUFCASTFRDCUS. No but really, this show is SO GOOD! . I must admit it took me 7 episodes to really get into it (yeah, almost the entire season lol) because I thought at first it was really boring, but now that I'm almost finishing season 1 I must admit that all those episodes full of family/royal drama were necessary.

And one of the most relevant things about it is that Marie confirmed that a dragon would appear and jesus, that has me so ajbsjahbs because I have a huge crush on dragons and I just can't wait to see one in this series! So basically the word I repeat the most while watching this with the girls is "Gimme a dragon", "I really need a dragon", "Wae you no gimme dragon" and the list of phrases containing the word "dragon" goes on XD. All this dragon obsession of mine gave birth to my new nickname............... SORAGON. I... sound like a digimon... XDDDD. BUT I DUN CARE, CAUSE I'MMA GET MY DRAGON </s>and a lot of things ofc, like Joffrey tragically dying with his balls ripped</s>.
