ART posted at 15:36 I'll just post a drawing when I remember I actually have a blog... and maybe i'll start drawing again when I run out of drawings to post haha 
Drew this for my friend's bday. :D was my first time trying watercolour and pencil together.
Fail. posted at 21:56 So I totally forgot to post anything... sorry, not like anyone reads this anyways. But here's another artwork :D 
So this is a pretty big close-up of it but it's basically this miniature sketch of a building I forgot the name of...
It actually looks so bad close-up... wow.
Anyways, i'm thinking of doing a b'day skincare product haul+reviews in the future (if i ever remember or have time).Update + My Unfinished Artworks posted at 19:14 Managing a blog really isn't as easy as I'd thought it would be.. But here's an update of my progress the past week. The things I have been doing once a day:
About my unfinished artworks, I am basically going to post one artwork a week just so I post something a week in case I don't know what to post that week. Some of the artworks are from when I used to take Art as a subject at school... but I dropped it because I took so long to draw something and pretty much hardly ever finished ._. and the rest are just things I drew when I felt like time. So yeah here's my first piece. 
This is my coursework final piece for my GCSE's. I don't really like it.. I felt like my teacher gave me a lot of advice I didn't really like but I used anyways since I thought she knows best. :/ but I got a B on this which is no surprise.
Nan Luo Gu Xiang posted at 16:26 So about 2 weeks ago I went to Nanluoguxiang hutongs with my friend, it's basically these streets full of food and old buildings. The day we went had pretty bad weather, it was like super humid, gloomy and smoggy... But we still got to eat a lot of stuff and window shop at a lot of the stationary shops there! Things there are pretty expensive and most of the stuff you can find online on taobao (chinese online shopping website like ebay).
  
A cute little cafe/restaurant
 
This is by far the most expensive hotdog I've ever eaten. This set was over 50 yuan.
Oreo Frappecino and Grapefruit Mojito
Oreo Cheesecake from Tous Les Jours
RAINBOW ICECREAM from Happy Valley
 
I totally forgot the name of this... but it was this mango thing with coconut pudding and Chia seeds.
 Last but not least, my grandma's delicious fried rice. THE BEST! She always says your meal needs to be colourful because it's meant to reflect its nutritional value. Hope your enjoyed this :D and welcome to my new readers! My stats have been showing that you guys are all from the US? Which is pretty cool haha. Oh and I've been trying to add the follow me on bloglovin icon but it's not working... If you know why please comment below.

Because I assume a lot of people are probably just as addicted to it as I am. Youtube can give you the answers to nearly everything, has a bunch of awesome comedians, makeup artists, people getting hurt and a billion cute cats doing weird things. What can you not love about it? Even though I admit I don't even like EVERYTHING I watch on Youtube but for some reason I still end up in front of my computer for hours straight just watching youtube. I mean Youtube is great and I learn a lot of (mostly useless) things from it but.. it's just consuming waayyyy too much of my time.
Now onto this "cure" i mention in my Title. It's actually not really a cure, just something to split the addiction on these things called BLOGS. ha ha ha. So yeah since I've been looking at a lot of blogs recently, I found out some are actually really interesting! For a person who is trying to get into reading, isn't reading blogs like.. the same thing? Maybe? Nonetheless, at least it gets me reading :D
Now the blog posts I've been into lately have been the inspiring types about motivation, achieving goals, happiness. Typical reading material for me. And these blog posts, I've realised, are much more worth of my time than the random youtube videos on how bubblegum is made or just watching some cute little baby speaking nonsense. So, yeah. That's my cure for you, if you're like me. Here's the posts I've read today.
Labels: addicted, inspiration, youtube posted at 14:19 I have realised that just starting a blog because you feel like it is a pretty pointless thing to do. So I decided to look for some inspiration and tips from other blogs. Firstly, I guess I should make a few goals for my blog, both for myself and for others (readers? if I ever get any). I think i'll just put aims for myself for now since no one actually reads yet.
Intro to CSS 7 Essential Blogger How-To's After looking a a few bloggers I've started to recognise a few similarities that attract me to their blogs. I'll just briefly explain what types of blogs i'm into so far. Firstly, I particularly like lifestyle blogs which have a lot of good quality photos on a minimalistic sort of layout but also with good content. Content which sway more towards self-improvement/goals/progress/some sort of journey which is why I also like travel blogs. Also there are a few design related blogs that I like too! But they attract me mainly because of the nice photos.. haha Yeah, so i've come to realise good photos, blogs with useful/inspirational content and a nice yet simple layout is something I look out for (even though mine doesn't qualify any of those LOL which is why I don't expect much out of this blog for now..). I don't really know how to end blog posts... well if you are reading this, please do give me some feedback/tips/recommendations on other blogs you think I should check out :D bye? Labels: aims, beginner blogger, blog, goals, recommendations, starting Welcome? posted at 22:44 HELLO TO MY NON-EXISTENT READERS. I am back? from a.. 4 year break from blogger. So I've decided to start blogging, I'm not actually sure what type of blog this will be yet, I'll probably just be blogging about random things in my life until I am able to categorise my blog into a type. So since this is my first post on this blog, I might as well introduce myself. My name is Connie and I currently live in Beijing, China. I will be finishing my last year of high school starting from August and will probably head back to Australia (which is where I was born) for uni. I sort of am trying to get myself to read more often now.. so I might do some book reviews/impressions? I also draw... a bit, so I might upload some of my drawings in the future. I guess this'll be all for now. I need to go sleep now. Just hope no one from my school or anyone I know finds out about this blog -.- Labels: beginner blog post, beijing, introduction, life, random |
