Okay, the thing that’s left is to tell my mom (and stepdad), I guess? :L I never really talk about guys to my mom. Any advice? How do I start? How do I say it? :/

I told them this afternoon. Well, mom’s reaction was surprisingly.. uhh, how do I explain it? She didn’t get angry or anything, she was just smiling. Then came the advice.. she was so cool until that. Hoho. I kid.

Total: 50
Note: some skipped some questions, and some questions have multiple answers.

Hahah, I have male readers too! (:
I think my use of smileys depends on my mood…
Please understand I’m a student, so updating more often would be a little difficult.
“There are times wherein there is nothing I can comment about or relate to.” Isn’t that normal? You don’t ALWAYS have to relate to everything I write.
I love comments, but in IMO, they are just some sort of a bonus. So you don’t really have to leave a comment if you can’t relate to my entry.
Number 8 is my favorite part.
Authenticity. This is why I like blogging here, I can be myself because I know my readers won’t judge me. SB is the only place in the WWW where I can be the real me.
I like how 17 people said that they don’t like nothing about my blog. (:
Link exchange: It’s sort of a hassle managing hundreds of links. So I say no, thanks.
Maybe I’m just not that type of blogger who likes blog hopping and returning comments. I know it’s the least I can do, but one, I don’t have time. Two, it’s not my thing anymore.
About the freebies/tutorials, you know you can just request for it and I’ll see if I can do it.
I hope you don’t expect me to return all of your comments aka if you’re leaving comments so that I’ll return it, well, that’s too bad for you.

To the one who wrote: “You’ve got a cute sense of putting your words.
It’s always fun to read your entries, whether they be interactive with readers, or a simple about your day type of thing.” Thank you! This really made me smile. I always thought my diary entries are boring.

Someone also wrote: “I like the funny way you write.” Somebody explain this to me. Is that a good thing? I mean, I guess it is, because you like it but… funny like in a positive way or?

Thanks for everyone who took part!

Honestly, I really don’t feel like blogging here in SB anymore. I’ve been blogging @ dancewithjay.tumblr.com. It’s supposed to be my Norwegian blog, my readers are my offline friends. How I wish Wordpress is as lightweight as Tumblr. ):

So I’ve been thinking lately, if I should quit Wordpress and just use Tumblr. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about hosting, no more backing up, upgrading the blogging tool, updating the plugins… etc. On the other side, Tumblr doesn’t support plugins and it doesn’t have other features oinly Wordpress has. And I don’t think I will be able to blog like I do if my offline friends read it.

So what do you think? Should I quit or stay?

The eyeliner sure elongates the eyes when you “wing” it, but the mascara does all the business. I must say mascara is my favorite beauty product. (:

It takes me 5-10 min every morning, depending on how sleepy I am. Hah.

Feel free to try and don’t forget to post pictures! Enjoy!

Another picture slideshow~ enjoy!

P.S. The baby is my niece(:

January

I had my new year in the Philippines, with my family. Fireworks, noise, karaoke, Filipino food. Perfect! I got to meet my girlfriend, Ayiene. Also got to hang out with my best-friend-turned-uhhh-friend, Ian. I also met my old classmates and childhood friends! But the dream had to end, I had to go back to Norway. Before the month ended, I turned sixteen and celebrated it with my classmates.

February
Nothing much happened. For the first time, I felt dumped without being dumped. It’s complicated. This month, I had my very first job interview. (And I didn’t get the job though…)

March
Yay~ officially became 2NE1 fan girl!

April
I went to an Easter camp and days later found myself sooo helplessly, madly, crazily in love. It didn’t work out though… ): By the end of the month I went to Ministrant NM . And our team won again (2 years in a row)~

May
2NE1 debut~♥
I met a new guy. He was close to perfect.. I really liked him so much. But of course, things weren’t easy, it just doesn’t work out like that. We suddenly stopped contacting each other, we haven’t talked since.. forever.

June
The birth of Switterbeet.com♥
Said goodbye to high school and hello to summer! I also had my confirmation this month!

July
So it was really summer. We celebrated my mom’s birthday in Oslo. 2NE1’s first mini album dropped like it’s hot! And I went to a summer camp and met new friends~

August
Went to Sweden~
Then I started off prep-college.

September
Nothing much happened.. Hahah. The most memorable thing that happened was the slumber party with my girlfriends~

October
Spent most of my time with my friends~ I got my social life back! Hahah!

November
New Moon. Party. Another party. And another one.
Yeah, you can call me a party girl now. But it’s sooo much better getting wasted, embarrassing yourself in front of the crowd, figure out more about life and growing up, and lastly learning from your mistakes, than sit at home and glue your little arse on your rolling stool. Am I right or am I right? Yeah.

December
I had the most memorable Christmas days of my life (yet).

Oh my good, this entry took me a long time! Sorry for a boring year-ender. I really didn’t blog much the past few months so I’ve got nothing to summarize. ):

But anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

I use Epicare stick or Epistick (although I got the cheap Japanese one). I got it off soompi.angeland.net for $5 shipped. The ‘original’ ones cost around $15. It looks like this:

(I know, looks like q-tips.)

To use, bend the Epistick into an inverted ‘U’ and place it to the area you want the hair removed. While holding the handles, twist the stick into opposite directions. (Tip: Apply lotion in the area before using Epistick. That way it would be less painful.) Check out AprilAthena7’s video review here.

Not only you can use this on your upper lip area, but also in the chin, cheeks and forehead. Note that this product is not to be used on the eyebrows (unless you want to go for a Mona Lisa-look) nor armpits. It’s a FACIAL hair remover, for crying out loud.

What I like: Easy to use, very handy, cheap
What I don’t like: Did they say painless!? Painless my ass! Or maybe it’s just me, or the cheapy product.

Claire’s verdict: 4/5

I was too lazy to transfer the pictures and blog yesterday, so yeah, I’m doing it now. Here’s a summary of my Christmas: (and a picture slideshow at the end of the entry)

Dec. 24
I was just home and had a very Norwegian dinner with my family, opened gifts together, drank a little (yeah, my parents surprisingly allowed me to drink. In front of them. They were so cool!) and waited for Christmas to come.

My gifts? (Swagger mode) I got a The North Face bag in blue, a Paris Hilton perfume, money, iPod earphones, Burberry scarf, Aloe Vera foot spa set, body mist and shower gel from The Body Shop and more. But the most special gift of all, Ferrero Rocher chocolates from the guy I like. He’s such a cutie, surprising me with his gifts! (:

Dec. 25
Celebrated Christmas with my family, plus my cousins and aunts and uncles. We ate dinner, sang karaoke, did photoshoots, played Pinoy Henyo, just generally had fun!

Dec. 26
Off to Marthe’s (my cousin’s girlfriend) place to party! Long story short, just pure fun!

I am not sure, but I think I’m feeling the Christmas spirit now. Christmas has never been so special to me before, as far as I can recall. I mean, I don’t really remember how I spent every Christmas of my life. All I know is that I spent it with my family.

We’ll have a dinner tonight and tomorrow. I’m excited~ I hope this time it’s a Christmas I can remember.

Toodles, have to prepare for dinner tonight.
