hello my dearies!
gosh it's christmas time!
and I love it!
*my personal visual "Ode" to Yule time*
there's something about christmas that puts a smile in my face.
and because of that, I'm going to make 12 christmas related posts just like the christmas carol!
and so you guys don't get tired of it, there will always be unrelated posts inserted after these ones.
let us begin!
if you're wondering about the picture, well... people do some crazy shit just to get out of studying, so my facebook page is all pimped out now.
as much as I love christmas, this year it feels so much more special:
the other day me and Skav spent the entire day setting up his several (yes you read me right) trees and really bringing life to Santa's little north pole house.
it took us Hours upon Hours, and we were hungry and our backs hurt, but we were proud of it.
*my boyfriend has one of these... super creepy story. go to craked.com to know more!*
it felt so good to share something so perfect and pure with the person I love. god knows I have a truck load of trust issues, but he's someone that sticks by me and helps me grow as a person. a really better one. sometimes it's hard to feel like you deserve love... especially if people told you all your life you didn't, or never treated you with love, respect... sometimes even the proper care.
but you have to fight that feeling.
you have to be able to accept that sincere hug and kiss on the forehead.
go ahead, I'll wait.
I would show you guys some photos, but some stuff I rather not share, you know, I'm the only one here sharing, not everyone else in my christmas history lol.
I did a little video wearing this but I still don't know if it's something I can use...
I guess we'll see.
I still have that huge important news to share with you guys, but I really wanna do it with Skav, maybe in a cute photo or something.

now, for the unrelated topic!
the other day I had the unfortunate luck of losing my little coin purse.
it was handmade with leather and had a picture of a witch flying... as you can see it was gorgeous.
I lost my public transport pass, some money and about 4 receipts of those same passes, and now I have no way to prove the IRS that I did spend loads of money in passes to go to college.
ffffffffff.
so... I was poking around the interwebs, watching cool stuff, when I came across this:
the cute little site of Obscura antiques shop! I liked them on facebook ages ago, but I don't remember seeing this. of course my eyes bulged out of its sockets and I started drolling, but I tried to maintain a calm posture and see if I could find anything pretty to buy myself for christmas.
and soon enough... there it was.
a frog purse!
most people find this to be extremely gross.
and then you have "other" people that think it's awesome, and when it's finally in their hands they just cringe and try to hide small gag reflexes.
I should know, the first time I got my genuine crow's foot earring I felt so... eek, that I turned it into a necklace.
but nowadays I even kiss it so... yeah.
but don't start flipping me the finger yet.
I don't agree with the torture of animals.
this is part of a handicraft tradition widely spread in the Philippines and other neighbour countries. to them, having money near a frog, or even inside of its pelt, brings great luck with financial situations. also, frogs are animals that are greatly praised as a source of cheap and tasty food.
and I should know.
I've eaten frog before.
*yummy*
so basically, what you're seeing here are the leftovers of someone's thai dinner being put to better use than just to throw it in the bin, as we all know, you only eat the tasty meety legs... nham.
some people go through the trouble of getting the meat carefully in order to preserve the entire pelt (see image above) but for most, it's chop chop and sow it together.
so... before you get on your high horse and start calling me a blond monster who eats little snow white's critter friends, take a moment to absorve this interesting view on another culture.
*learning is good kids.*
so I guess this is all for now, stay tunned for more cute and scary stuff.
well, you know me.
cheers!
