La Da Di Da Di...

Damn, it sure was quite hell of the day yesterday......... if you were internet deprived since yesterday let me give you a low down on what happened:
   The case behind the shooting and eventual murder of Trayvon Martin was brought to court yesterday, and the man responsible for it (28 year-old Hispanic American George Zimmerman) was found not guilty. Okay, let me rewind this from the start,  George Zimmerman was in his vehicle running an errand when he saw 17 year old Trayvon Martin walking beyond the gated fence inside the neigbourhood looking seemingly suspicious. He (George) decided to call 911 to report on what he's seen. He leaves his car while still talking to the police and after he ended the call, he proceeded to confront Trayvon and one thing led to another, he shot him in the chest which led to Trayvon's death. I think the reason why there are so much controversy behind this is because at the time Trayvon was shot, he himself was unarmed and was still an adolescent which is eventually led to believe the reason why George Zimmerman did what he did was out of suspicion  and racial profiling alone. My opinions are gonna remain neutral for now as I believe there is more to this case that needs to be further investigated. Of course there is more to this case then what I have wrote here which can lead to my opinion  being further debated but I'm just gonna leave it at that as I feel I am not entitled to pick a side in this case.

   The next thing I'm going to talk about is the sudden death of actor Cory Monteith. As you all know, Cory Monteith was famous for the role of Finn Hudson on Glee and was admired and looked up to by a lot of kids my age and to be quite honest I'm pretty upset over this. Although I don't really watch Glee as much I got to say he played quite a pivotal role during my early teenage years.
    Tons of people have been speculating that he overdosed seeing it fitting because he was very open about his past drug addiction and just this past April he had successfully left rehab and people who had talked to him just days before his demise he appeared happy and determined.Of course to anyone who reads this are just gonna assume he was just some other young Hollywood star who died the typical Hollywood drug death but the thing is, we're not even sure if he really OD-ed and even if he did, it would even be just more upsetting because he seemed to be one of those people who genuinely was earnest and selfless in getting help and reaching out to people (to kids especially). So yeah, as you can tell this has nothing to do with the show or his character but him as a person. I found this text post on tumblr which pretty much describes how I feel about his death;

sebastiansmythe:

the fact that cory was such a genuinely good person and was actively trying to get better is even worse like not just that he was famous and important but that he was talented and humble and actually deserved the good things that he got and none of the bad things
sebastiansmythe: the fact that cory was such a genuinely good person and was actively trying to get better is even worse like not just that he was famous and important but that he was talented and humble and actually deserved the good things that he got and none of the bad things i’m just really really upset about it

   But his tragic death shouldn't in any way overshadow his work but more importantly his kindness and warmth with people!

Cory Monteith.......thanks for the memories! You've done so much and influenced so many.

 P.S

Shopping Haul!!!!!!

Get ready for some materialistic Aida coming your way because this will be my very first Shopping Haul Post!!!!!
  Okay so a few days back my mum and I went shopping at one of our most favourite places on earth (Setia City Mall) so we could start impressing people with our amazing fashion sense by puasa time. Safe to say I made quite a bargain with these purchases due to the splendid sales they were having at the stores I went to;

aqua Zara basic blouse for RM49.90

So firstly I went to Zara (because my mum wanted to go there first) and this cute little aqua blouse caught my eye. I liked it mainly because of the colour and the fact that it has a little bit of mesh at the top.

White sleeveless studded blouse from H&M for RM59.90

 I then proceeded to H&M and got this blouse. But then I went to the back of the store and hit the jackpot.

                          Found this cutey patootey maroon and black shirt/peplum blouse, for how much you say?

That's right, got it for RM 15

           But I couldn't just stop there for then I decided to get this shirt;

P.S The main reason I was just simply buying tops was because I was looking for something to match this skirt I haven't really worn in like ages;

 

 Okay, so then I went to Uniqlo to find myself a simple maxi dress to wear at home and got this;

blue maxi dress from Uniqlo for RM 39.90

I guess that's the end of my little Shopping Haul blog post you guys.

But seriously, I'm kind of lacking of ideas for blog posts right now so please forgive me if this post seemed a little weirdly narcissistic and irrelevant.....

Ramadhan

 Alas the month that has been waited for has arrived! Ramadhan. Be sure to fully utilize this time with tons of Quran reading and practicing amalan-amalan sunat! Lastly, i would just like to send my apologies to those I've hurt and offended and happy fasting y'all!! :D

more driving experiences....

     So I've had my fair share of driving experiences which haven't been really that great so far and today was just one of them. My dad came home late evening asking me if I wanted to test my night driving skills and with hesitation I said yes just so I could get enough experiences before I drive off to college. He then told me that he has to go pick up his other car at the workshop which was why he asked me in the first place.
     So we headed to the workshop to pick up his car. My dad then said "okay, off you go then..." wwwhhaaattt????? I didn't know I had to drive this thing back home all by myself!!!!! But I did and it was scary, I ran one stop sign and nearly scratched a neighbour's car on the way home but alhamdulillah the car and I was safe. The funny part was it felt strangely high paced driving that car since the gas pedal felt too smooth to push and One Direction's One Way or Another was playing on the radio....

A picture of the car once I tried to unsuccessfully park it into the driveway...at least I parked it....

 

Summer time....

I've decided to start taking random photos of things I find amusing or "cool" on those days when I have no idea what to blog about...... Like this bag I've been using a lot lately that I bought from Mecca! I know the last thing that I should be doing in Mecca is going shopping and indulging myself in the most materialistic things but I couldn't resist this bag ever since I saw it at the shop (it was Accesorize by Monsoon) and in my defense I was probably the least materialistic and shopping crazy person within my Umrah group at the time.
