June Favourites

I'm running out of ways to say "oops, I'm late."

1. Nyancat's lifesaving case lists.
2. Mosquito's lifesaving care package. My first care package ever, and it had everything! From childhood (and adulthood and adolescent) favourite foods to stationary and amazing-smelling body wash to all-time-favourite chocolate. I love you. 
3. Chocolate. Thank you, love, for getting me through exams (and also life). <3 (Note: Referring to actual chocolate, and not to a person named chocolate.)
4. Hamilton. Helpless. So good it literally wouldn't let me fall asleep because it kept playing in my head (and then made me want to tear my hair out because it was 5:00 a.m. and I really needed to sleep).
5. Holidays, and the eternal sunshine and tranquility of my grandparents' place; my dearest grandparents; and pizza after a week of unbelievably healthy pro-fruit, anti-oil/salt/spice eating. 
6. My aunt dragging her entire family along to come see me. That night catching up with my cousin. 
7. Blue kajal! 
8. Successfully finding the kind of nice flats I'd been looking for, which is a nice departure from my recent shopping failures. (At least ten hours spent, not a single decent skirt found.)
9. Chillaxing and dillydallying at my aunt's; the hysterically hilarious emergency family meeting when a secret girlfriend was unearthed. 
10. The Crunch Box's caramel and English toffee popcorn. *heart eyes emoticon* 
11. Successfully getting bangs! I had had the most traumatic experience getting too-short bangs a few years ago, and was determined to get over my fear and actually try them out properly once. And given that I was with my favourite hair stylist of all time (<3), I figured there was no better time to experiment, and asked him to chop off the perfect side fringe he'd given me to bangs. And for a change, I was glad I did!
12. Dinner with the cuz. The best pasta I can remember having, and one of the best oreo milkshakes too!
13. My write up on Harry Potter and the media when I eventually, finally, painstakingly finished it after annoying and alienating almost every friend I had in the process. 
14. Meeting capable professionals who were good at their jobs and didn't try to cheat people! Unicorns exist!
15. Those cold, spicy, midnight snack noodles. Mmmm. Ditto perfectly-toasted toast, chilly cheese spread, and tomatoes, cucumbers and capsicum. Nothing tastes as good as toast at 2:00 a.m.
16. Mangoes and a neverending supply of jamun. <3 
17. Those first few minutes of meeting my tiny cousin and having him love me, before he went from cute kid to clingy rude brat. Kid validation is the best validation, until they make you want to strangle them.
18. Cookie's deliciously satisfying mail that one morning when I was so frustrated I could have cried.
19. Bullet journal-ing! I finally started one, and it was so much fun! See here for more details about what the hell I'm talking about. I sincerely hope I keep this up through the year, and that it turns out as awesome as it is in my head.
