Social media will be the death of me.

It seems like everyday I have to use social media to either get my latest goss, look at photos, post some ridiculous thought/feeling I have, online shopping... I was never like this! I mean, I wasn't that addicted to Bebo when I was younger. Maybe MSN... but every second I'm constantly on the Internet. When I was bored I would pick up a book or do something other than go on my computer/phone/iTouch. I want to set up some rules to get off the net. I'm already keeping my promise to Peter not to be on Facebook after 8pm, so why not restrict myself from technology in general? Is it possible? I want to just read again, or do something useful. I'm currently reading this book my Aunty bought me, it's called "Additive Alert: Your Guide to Safer Shopping". Maybe my diet is contributing to my mental well-being. I think I'm starting to be interested in inspirational/life-changing books. I want to read Miranda Kerr's Treasure Yourself and Cameron Diaz's Body Book. Just so I can learn to find myself and love my body more :} 'cause right now, I have no self-confidence whatsoever. I've been using aromatherapy to help boost my mood. I bought Essential Oils for Confidence - 7 drops before and after sleep. And I received a birthday gift - lavender and chamomile diffuser sticks - to help me relax. Does it work? *shrugs* anything is worth a shot, I say!

On a different note, my mum told me this.. "buying jewellery from white stores is bad luck". It has to be from an Asian jewellery store because apparently gold from white people is not pure. That might be true but the style also matters. And "your engagement ring has to be $5000+". I guess I'll always be judged no matter what. I swear being a girl is cursed. We are always told what to do OR what not to do. Listening to someone else's opinions (outside the family circle) is beneficial because you get to remain neutral on the matter and develop your own opinions. All my life I've been listening to what my parents told me- "break up with him", "don't do out", "dress up more pretty"... sometimes I listen because it's hard to go against them. Sometimes I just say nothing because it'll just end up worse.

My graduation was yesterday! My parents came to the ceremony and took photos for me. We did the professional shoot too, lol! Peter bought my the Instax Mini 8 for my graduation gift :) Peter's graduation was this afternoon. Time flies by so fast!
