Is it weird to think that it seems like Thanksgiving happened a month ago but it was only last week?

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving and weekend for those of who you don't celebrate. Mine was great, even if we had to spend about 2 hours in traffic to get to our destination. As I mentioned before we had a lunch, which was more like a lunner since we were in traffic for so long. I ate once, we went home around 8ish, and I knocked out on the drive home. It was a good night overall haha. While everyone was waiting in line for black Friday I was at home asleep! I also had a time mesmerized by my cousin's Louboutin collection! She has so many pairs I wanted to steal them haha! My favorite of the pair is in a photo down below!!

I actually took an outfit picture for you all it has been years and years since I last posted one. I've had this dress for a while now, since August I believe but never wore it, for who knows what reason. It's from this great vintage store in downtown Fullerton and the name escapes me as I write this, sorry!!

dress: vintage; tights: h&m; shoes: from the philippines; sweater: target; belt: thrifted; bag: asos

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are spending the day with loved ones and of course human's best friend, food! May your day be filled with joy and love! Going to a Thanksgiving lunch at my cousin's house since they are heading out to the outlets in the evening to scope out those Black Friday Deals. Those crazy cousins! No black Friday tonight for me since I'm working 11am-6pm (can you hear me "woo-hoo"ing?)! How about you guys? Anyone braving the cold night and long lines for those deals? If you are what are you getting?

Hope you all also have an infinite list of things you're thankful for this year! Everyone reading this has loads to be thankful for and I know I do too! A few on my lovely list include getting over my cold just in time for thanksgiving!, everyone in my enormous family, the roof over my head, (albeit temporary) job, being able to spend time with my lovely family, clothes, food, car, blogs and blog friends, good books, coffee, living in California, and the list goes on. What are you all thankful for?

Is it really November already?? It must be with all the holiday commercials starting to air. I was watching Ringer the other night and I swear every single commercial break there was a holiday commercial! It's so early and it seems like they start preparing earlier and earlier each year. I'm not ready!!! Seriously though I really should get on top of things. I want to get all my Christmas shopping out of the way as early as possible. I'm starting my list out now. I'm excited for Christmas but I'm not. Does that make sense? I feel like the year went by way to fast.

I apologize again for the lack of posts (which seems like what I say every single time I post something here). I don't have much of a life and I got a job! Finally huh? It's just a seasonal retail thing, but I'll take what I can get! Also my outfits aren't much seeing that I wear all black every day. And it's gotta look professional and there is only so much I can do. The job keeps me busy though and I like it. I hope after my seasonal bit is over they can hire me full time or I can actually find something else more permanent. :crosses fingers: Also my last like two outfit photos my sister took made me look like a serious fatty mcfatterson and I was just not having it.

I realized I forgot about my October Playlist last month, but I haven't really been listening to anything else but Ra Ra Riot on repeat. There wasn't much of a mix of music during October. I'll get on top of it for November, I promise!

Here are some picture from my tiny birthday celebration with my sisters. Don't ask why they are in black and white I was waiting for my sister to send me the colored ones but, of course, she never did. They look sort of depressing in black and white seeing that it was my birthday and all. Lame sauce.

First my sister, Set, stopped by to get me cupcakes, Snickerdoodle and Red Velvet, from the Perfect Circle Cupcakery. Then we went to dinner at Red Robin, I chose cheap since we are all cheapos, and I was really craving their fries. If you don't know me then you should know that I can live on Red Robin french fries. mmm could use some right now. The next day we went to this new bakery in Brea called Merely Sweets to get some macarons. It's seriously the closest bakery near me that sells them freshly made. They sure were yummy! I am for sure coming back there. The only crappy thing about it is that we were there half hour after opening and they didn't have all the flavors out yet. We had planned on going there early just so we could try all the flavors so boo to that. We also hit up the thrift store where I found nothing, of course.

It's funny...this was one of the first pictures I saw this morning on tumblr. If only I had the will to actually embrace it. It started out fine. But ugh. I just didn't have the effort since I was debating on whether or not I wanted to spend the little money I have on macarons or clothes. I chose clothes, which will have to wait until tomorrow. So my day was spent at home doing basically nothing. I spent about an hour in traffic going to pick up my niece from school. The drive would have been nice without the traffic EVERYWHERE. I swear everywhere I turned there was a big fat line in front of the traffic light.

Oh Happy Birthday to me. I'm the old 23. ugh. Can I just stop getting older? Just until I'm settled with a proper source of income? I have an outfit picture to post, but I'm debating on whether or not I want to post it because I'm fatty mcfatterson in the pictures. The only good one is one of the group ones where only my face is showing haha.

I'll end with this picture also found on tumblr. (I wish there were proper sources on tumblr so I can actually cite it to the actual source and not just tumblr.)

2011-09-21T18:43:00.000-07:00

Well sorry for being absent for the last couple of weeks. Lack of inspiration I blame, which is usually my reason for any absence here. Life has seriously been as boring as you can get. I honestly don't even know what to write in this apology post haha. I've been a hermit and haven't had any photo worthy outfits. I blame it on the weather. It has lead me to become lazy and just wear shorts and tanks all the time. Although the weather as of late has been nice. I just wish I had an occasion to get out of the house that would not lead me to spend any money.

How have I been spending my time you ask?
- Baking stuff. I just baked a cheesecake...well two because I made so much and luckily I bought two of the crust pans or else I would have been screwed!
- Obsessing over The Hunger Games. I'm really trying not to become such a fan girl with this but it's really really hard. I'm also attempting on keeping my expectations low with this because of the giant disappointment that is called Twilight. I'm such a lame face!...so much of a lame face I bought a freaking Mockinjay pin off the internet. (ugh seriously Alyssa?)
- Accessory making. I have lots more time and I have a bunch of feathers that have been waiting to become some kind of accessory.
- New tv. I am a loser and hermit who likes to stay home and watch tv. Deal with it.
- Oh man, I also opened up a tumblr. Just another thing to fill my empty days. Charmed I'm Sure
- Avoiding the fact that my birthday is next week...holy crap next week already?!
- Reveling in the depressing fact that I still live at home and am still jobless.
- Wishing I had money to go shopping. This is a 24/7 kind of thing.

I do have my September playlist to post next! I hope I can have things pick up here again!

And frankly I can't think of anything else to say other than, Hello September and hope you all have an amazing weekend!

2011-08-22T12:17:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I finished the Hunger Games Trilogy. Call me a nerd for reading it but I loved it!! I've been wanting to read the books since I heard Kristen Bell was obsessed with them and I thought "Okay, they can't be that bad to read!" They've been on my "To-Read" list for quite a while. Finally got myself copies of all 3 books and read them in 4 days. I admit the writing style is obviously intended for young adults, but I'm surprised at how much of the content can be written for a more mature audience. It can be very grotesque at times and you're just like "kids are reading this! how is this part in it?" What with all the dictatorship, poverty, exploding dads, kids killing kids, rebellion, and you know, your basic dystopian society. Which you should know I find totally fascinating. One of the best books I ever read was 1984...which reminds me I still need to get back from my sister. Anyway, I thought they were super easy reads. I swear I could not put any of them down even finishing the first book into the wee hours of the morning (4am). Even after that I sat there for a while reveling in what the heck I just read. And there were honestly some parts where I seriously made remarks out loud like gasping and saying "crap!," "oh my gosh!," "woah." which is weird because usually all my remarks are made inside my head as I read. The first one was definitely my favorite of the three, the third one lagged and I was a bit unhappy with the ending of one character. But not everyone has a happy ending right?

I have a weird relationship with books. I obsess over them as I read them and I obsess over them for a really really long time after I'm done. And boy does that obsession become even worse when I start reading series of books. Also, I just hate how the ending of books just stays with me, haunting me in a sort of way because I know I'll never feel that way about the book again. It's not the same when you read it for a second time because you already know what's going to happen.

I guess all that's left is the movie adaptation that is currently being filmed. I never paid any attention to any of the casting stuff until after I finished the first one, where I started looking everything and anything concerning the cast and production. This was probably a big mistake because while I was reading the second and third books my interpretation of the main characters suddenly morphed into the actors who are going to play them. But whatever it's hard to change that now.

I left my own synopsis of the plot and all that out on purpose because I hate reading book reviews when I'm learning about books for the first time. I feel like it will just spoil my own thoughts. I just suggest you all give this book a chance even though I know how big this book is going to be once the movie comes out. People are already calling it the next Twilight, and GOOOD GOSH how I'm hating that. It is NO WHERE near Twilight, just to let you know. Just because they say they are hyping up the stupid love triangle doesn't mean people need to go around wearing shirts that say "Team Peeta" or "Team Gale" because when you read it will be extremely obvious. So just go read it haha and then come back and tell me what you thought.

I am the one who can solve all your problems a savior with only you to save

Saturday morning/afternoon was grrrreat! First my mom and I hit up a vintage/antique sale in Downtown Fullerton that was partly hosted by Oh Hello Friend as well as some other sellers including Shop Ruche. There was a ton of cool stuff, I wish I had tons of money to buy everything I truly wanted. I did walk away with a dress from Shop Ruche though. Afterwards we walked around and went to the antique mall. Antique malls freak me out only because there is always waaaaay too much stuff I want when I go there I end up feeling overwhelmed with all the amazing finds. I bought one leopard print jacket with the tags still attached. It was originally priced $34.99 but I paid $14 for it! Afterwards we went to the vintage clothing store there called American Vintage where I found 2 of the most prettiest dresses! I tried one one gorgeous light blue one but my vintage clothing expert mom said that the garters on the back of it are unchangeable and they were already getting broken.

After shopping my sister called and said that the Grilled Cheese Truck was at the high school that is right next to our house. Turns out it was a whole food truck fair thing. I so wanted to eat every thing from almost every truck there. The one I have been wanting to try for the longest time the ice cream sandwich truck! I can't remember the name of it right now because I was so excited to try it. I had red velvet cookies with this vanilla type ice cream that had white chocolate chips in it.

It was a good day! My finds are below!

New Orleans Day 3 & 3.5

2011-08-13T01:15:00.000-07:00

Last full day in New Orleans began with our last meeting and goodbyes until next time. We woke up early since we stayed in the night before and drove over to Cafe du Monde to get some beignets and coffee for breakfast. Who knew that they didn't have cup holders! Luckily my cousin, Bayani, had a basket in his car which we were able to hold the 16+ cups of coffee and hot chocolate. After the meeting we headed out for brunch/lunch at Acme Oyster House with my cousins Jenae, Joanna and her family. It is here that I tried my first oyster. I find the disgusting looking which always prevented me from eating it but this time we had them charbroiled and they weren't half bad! We came out of the restaurant and found it to be pouring raining. We said our goodbyes to Jenae and Joanna and the family in the rain and took a cab to the French Market where the rest of the afternoon was spent pasalubong shopping (souvenir shopping). Went to have a muffaletta at this restaurant called Franks where the bartender made us this bomb Hurricane drink, better than the one we had at Pat O'Brien's. We also walked ourselves over to Southern Candymakers to get some Pralines, of which I am regretting not getting more. On the way there we had this Macroon shot at this bar called Crescent City. Then we took our last stroll down Bourbon St., had shots with the bartender that my cousins had made friends with earlier in the week, of whom reminded me of Sookie Stackhouse due to her telling us a tidbit about her "Gran."

We spent our evening using our b1g1free coupons from the hotel bar and lounged with our drinks in the hotel courtyard, which is just gorgeous. We ordered burgers from Yo Mama Burger and spent the night laughing and eating one of the most amazing burgers ever. Then reality sunk in and we sadly packed our bags to be ready to leave for home the next morning.

Breakfast time in my cousin's VIP suite, you can't see my bed in this photo haha the couch was a pull-out.

Only half of the wrap around balcony. So pretty!

Seafood gumbo and a fried shimp poboy! I could really eat this right now.

Purchases! I bought myself this awesome slick black masquerade mask. Although I wished I bought a colorful one.

Corn and crap soup!

Muffaletta!

Macroon shots!

Last view of Bourbon St.

Hotel Courtyard on our last night.

DAY 3.5

Our last day, can you tell how humid it is by this photo? It was raining like crazy when we stepped out of the hotel and it seriously started within 10 minutes of me stepping out on the balcony! We went straight to the airport where we found out that my cousin's suitcase was overweight by $90! Luckily we had extra bags to take as carry ons! Crazy stuff!

New Orleans Day 2

2011-08-10T20:59:00.000-07:00

Day 2 was pretty busy. We had a lunch at the hotel where we reminisced, caught up with everyone's lives, quizzed each other on family happenings, and ate really good food. It was nice and intimate although we all missed everyone that couldn't make it, which was a lot of people. Four whole clans of the family were missing.

OOh, I also wore my homemade feather earrings and got so many compliments, including this girl we met in the bathroom. haha I was waiting in line as she was washing her hands and she goes "I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS." She had a pretty loud voice in the tiny bathroom we were in. After lunch we took our photos then headed out for a walking tour, which my cousins found on the Internet, but had to severely edit it due to some of the walking inabilities of the older family members. I tried Cafe du Monde beignets and an iced cafe au lait, honestly they taste exactly like the ones from here and you can buy the mix here as well. Although that didn't stop us from buying some there! =D We did some walking around on our own, the French Quarter has such gorgeous buildings! When I get super rich I want my own New Orleans-style wrought-iron balcony complete with it's own hanging plants. For dinner we went to Ralph and Kacoos, where I had this awesome fish covered in crab. For dessert we had this extremely delicious white chocolate bread pudding. I took my first bite and almost died from goodness. It was then I got a little home sick because my mom loves bread pudding and chocolate and I kept thinking how much she would have loved it. Night time was laid back. We did so much partying the night before we were pretty much pooped. We stayed in and planned for the next day.

Logo that my sister made!

Everyone in attendance this year....not even half of the whole family!

Hand Grenades!

My yummy fish and crab!

BOOOOOMB white chocolate bread pudding!

Last day coming soon!

New Orleans Day 1

2011-08-05T19:58:00.000-07:00

Let's begin with the craziest, well maybe not so crazy, story ever: I knew my friend Kristen was going to be in New Orleans same weekend as me but I didn't even think to ask about her flight info. So I get off the plane waiting for my cousin who was seated a few rows behind me and I see Kristen standing there with her own cousins! Then she asks "were you on this flight?" I respond to her and we continue to revel in the craziness that we were both on the same plane for 3.5ish hours (plus the 2 hours waiting at the airport) without even knowing it. Weird.

I didn't take any outfit photos during this trip mainly because of the weather and I only had a crappy point and shoot. I was going to have my photographer cousin do it but he didn't get a flight out and then I just forgot about the whole thing because I got busy and it was just plain gross outside. My hair was just a disaster throughout the whole weekend because of the high humidity there. How the heck do people deal with their hair there?!?! Also how do girls wear heels in the French Quarter? One could totally sprain an ankle wearing flats walking around. I wore my heels once, when we had our lunch at the hotel and then took them off before we left to walk around.

But anyway... what a wonderful and amazing weekend it was! It's crazy over there! We stayed at this gorgeous hotel Maison Dupuy right in the French Quarter, 2 blocks down from Bourbon St. It's craziness/awesome how you can totally drink in the streets! Like if you didn't finish your alcoholic drink during dinner you can ask "Can I get this to-go?" And they will put it in a freaking foam or plastic cup for you! Awesome haha.

So my pictures are mainly touristy haha What else could I have done I ain't no professional =D

Day 1 consisted of dinner with the family at Oceana Restaurant, which we found out was the place of the last episode of Kitchen Nightmares and how their episode never got resolved....but the food was good and service was perfectly fine! After the older group hit up Preservation Hall and the youngins had our first night out on the town! So much fun. My cousin's friend who lives there brought us to Frenchman St. which was awesome and we would have NEVER ventured out there on our own so big thanks to him.

In the air..over somewhere...

Bourbon St.

My Catfish dish....freaking yummy!

(Ignore my nasty hair here) At Pat O'Brien's....those fountains were very awesome.

Inside the oldest bar in America...Lafittes. It's got no electricity except for the neon signs behind the bar.

Bar/venue with some live reggae music.

There was also live music going on here (it's everywhere!) it was my favorite place of the whole trip!

Nighttime on Bourton St. and a blurry figure that is my cousin Tracy.
Stay tuned for Day 2!

i'm leaving on a jet plane...

2011-07-22T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hey there lovelies,

As you read this I am currently on a plane to New Orleans, LA. Yes, I will be in the Big Easy for the weekend for my family reunion! Yay me! We're staying at this hotel in the French Quarter, about 2 blocks away from Bourbon St. I am so extremely excited! Can't wait to eat me some of the good food and spend time with family! And turns out one of my friends from here is going to be there at the same time! Crazy sauce when I saw her countdown on her twitter. I immediately responded with "I'm gonna be there too!" We'll see if we get to see each other when we're there. So won't be here for the weekend as I return Monday afternoon. Pictures for certain will be posted, although I'm afraid most of them will probably with my old point and shoot Canon. Was planning on bringing our old Olympus film camera, but then I thought it was too much because its very big and it doesn't fit in the everyday purse I'm bringing with me haha.

Here's a sneak peek at what I'll be wearing:

Mainly dresses/skirt because weather.com says it'll be in the 90s, which is exactly how it is here except I'm sure added with the humidity over there it must feel even hotter. Also bringing along pair of shorts 2 tops (floral mesh tank and thrifted top) and 2 cardigans, my cross necklace, some vintage necklace thing that used to be my mom's, diy feather earrings, converse, heels, sandals. Not much, but I'm only there for about 3 days.

Anyway...keep up with me on Twitter because I already know I will be tweeting like mad! =D Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

i wonder what my patronus would be?

Oh Harry Potter, what can I say?

I went to the midnight release with my sister and the line was just insane. Arrived at the theater around 8pm and the line was ridiculously long and only got longer. I've only been to one other midnight premiere and it was NOTHING compared to this. Although that one I had a big group, which made waiting in line more enjoyable. Here I was with my sister haha...we had plans on going with our cousin but he thought it would be awkward if his family mixed with his friends..how lame. Anyway...the movie was just the best thing in the world. Everything about it was just one big epic piece of awesomeness! Once it ended I just wanted to burst into tears because it's the last one!!! But people were crossing over me to leave and I couldn't haha. Wish I could say more, but I'm pretty sure it will be pretty spoiler-y so I'll stop here.

Just one though, when the heck did Neville Longbottom get so good looking?!?

Mini update on the happenings over here in Alyssa-land. And it's not much haha.

I have been uberlazy with outfit pictures, mainly because what I've been wearing hasn't been anything photo-worthy. Hopefully I can get some in soon say...next weekend.

Heading off to New Orleans for the big ol' family reunion next weekend. Will be there Friday-Monday. And I am soooo excited. It will be extremely good to get out of California even if its just for the weekend. Can't wait to explore!!

My sister's birthday was last week. She treated herself to a day off and we all headed over to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for a spa day. It was ahhhmazing to say the least. That place is awesome and I want my own personal mud bath because that stuff was the best thing ever; it made my skin feel incredibly soft! Then we had a family lunch on Sunday after church where I had a super delicious pasta dish and my mom was examining the sauce trying to figure out how they made it because it was so good.

In continuation with my sister's days off we went to the beach today, where I of course got sunburnt on my back/shoulders. yay me, I can never go to the beach without my back burning even with sunscreen. So I will be smelling like aloe vera for the next few days. Aloe vera + my fan will be my best friends for the next few days as well.

Besides me interning every other day and job searching, this has basically been life. It's also the middle of the month and I still have not come up with my July playlist, of which I said I was going to keep up last month haha. It will be next!!

Happy Fourth of July!

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books and the 2005 movie is one of my favorite movies. I swear I can watch it over and over again and not get sick of it one bit. I fall in love with Mr. Darcy all over again each and every time I watch/read it and always wish that I had Elizabeth Bennett's perfect come backs. I don't remember how I came upon this but I was cleaning out my bookmarks and found this site saved. I cracked up reading it again last night. This thing is freaking hilarious and I praise the person who came up with this because its absolutely genius.

I'm a graduate!! Not official until I get my grades in, but I'm pretty sure they're all passing haha. I had to wake up at 5:30 on Sunday just to get ready and even then I didn't have time to straighten my hair, which was totally needed given that the weather was such crap. Misty and cold. ugh. The whole thing was just way long. I'm pretty sure everyone wasn't even paying attention to the commencement speaker because we were cold, talking of other things, and hungry. Also that commencement speaker really should have gone over her speech before hand because there was some little innuendos in there that we were for sure giggling at. Then the lady totally butchered my name, how hard is it to read "uh-lee-sa" "rah-mos"?? She had it right in front of her. Walking in the little walkway between all the professors was a pretty surreal feeling. Wish I could have said hi or something to one of them, but I sadly didn't. Ahh, but it's over. And I have this "what now?" feeling. It's weird knowing that come Fall I won't have that same routine of classes, textbooks, and parking. Honestly it freaks me out. I'm the worst at finding myself a job! Tips? or job offers? haha Someone find me a job!!! =D

On to the pictures, these are my sister's. I also have some on my phone camera from the behind the scenes, but too lazy to send them to myself and upload them again. haha.

find my name??

could i look anymore like a nerd?!

dress: tj maxx (seriously found this the day before); flats: target; belt: thrifted

My mind is currently in the process of being filled with all things marketing - marketing research, internet marketing, strategic marketing, etc. I have devoted this Saturday to just studying. So, I've been in my pjs all day and propped myself a spot at the dinner table (since I'll get too distracted if I study in my room). I'm surrounded by my laptop, textbooks, and various notes. I think I've taken over the dinner table and half of the couch with all my stuff.

Last weekend was Mother's day and I had to meet a group for a project =(. We didn't do anything since I was out all afternoon into the evening, so she went to my cousin's house for lunch/dinner. This is what I did wear! haha Outfit pos featuring my lovely mother!! **excuse the fact that it looks like my sunglasses are about to fall off my face. I didn't get to approve the photo before my sister took it; also excuse my mom wearing those sandals, I told her not to wear them haha!

dress & belt: mom's (how appropriate!); sandals & cardigan: target; purse: zara

Back to studying!

when we go out tonight i'll be looking so far past the flashing lights

2011-05-06T23:23:00.000-07:00

Random post..........

Currently listening to Cold War Kids' Mine is Yours NONSTOP. I cannot not listen to this album. I swear! It's very different from past albums, but it's okay because it's aweeeeesome. By far my favorite song is Finally Begin. It's the most amazing song I've heard in a long while. Definitely one of my limited selection of songs that I would totally listen to for the rest of my life.

ALMOST DONE WITH CLASSES!!! I just have to get through the next two weeks and I'm in the clear. I have a never ending To-Do list, as always, but this time I need to be completely and totally serious about it because there are just too many things due in the next two weeks, not to mention finals. I'm totally on top of it, I think. I'm following it pretty well and I feel as if I'm managing my time really well.

I have a ton of pictures that I've been meaning to post up on this thing, but stupid last two weeks of school have been keeping me busy. So fair warning, I may be a bit more MIA, unless I feel like procrastinating on that To Do list!! haha

Anyone in Orange County tomorrow/today (Saturday, May 7)??? Stop by Lulu Boutique + Gallery for a Rey Swimwear trunk show!! Meet designer Jessica Rey, buy some swimsuits and cover ups too! Get your info from the Rey Swimwear Facebook!!

sometimes I wish for falling wish for the release wish for falling through the air to give me some relief,

2011-05-02T22:08:00.000-07:00

HEY LOVELIES! Ah, apologies again for being mia, especially since I had about only two days of school last week thanks to canceled classes!

Anyway I'm back with an outfit post of all things! haha Been SO LONG since I last posted an outfit of mine! Lately it's been all lazy/not post worthy outfits or I forgot about taking a photo.

My sister Abby and I went to the Anaheim Comic Con...of which I did not know there was such thing until I went. Saw lots of random celebrities, guy who played Hercules, Ian Zeiring (who walked past my sister who grew up watching him on 90210 TWICE and she didn't even notice), guy from Heroes, some wrestler guys, some power rangers, and other people I can't remember.

I spent $18 on a freaking Angry Bird stuffed animal for Junior, it was $2 more for a stuffed animal with sound! haha. Got lots of free SoyJoy bars, which were pretty tasty; either that or I was just really hungry. Got myself a little ID badge for the SHIELD, which is in the movie Thor. My sister got this giant Hello Kitty bag, which is seriously bigger than I am. I'm 5'0" and when I put it on my shoulder it drags!

Good day overall!

skirt and sandals: h&m; tank and cardigan; target; purse: zara

Bleh at my face. I look dead. Check out my sister's awesome photography skills over at her flickr to see the rest of the pictures!

Oh I forgot, my hair! haha I got it cut about a week ago and I love it! and it cost me less than $30 (50% first time clients) with this awesome stylist! I am definitely going back even though I will have to pay full price.

all my stones become your pearls all of my trials are your treasures

2011-04-22T23:46:00.000-07:00

Okay, time out. Last week, the weather pushed 90 degrees, and today and the last few days have been in the 60s! What is up with that? Weather, you sure are weird.

With my classes canceled you'd think I would have more time to blog right? Well... not really haha. My To-Do list will NEVER END!! I got so much done on Wednesday, nothing so much on Thursday, barely anything done today. And yet I still feel I am constantly adding stuff done to the list even when I cross things off! Oh dear. Throw in work stuff and you've got one busy bee!!

Well...this post was originally supposed to be an outfit post from last Sunday, but my sister is seriously lagging with the photos. So I've got something else equally awesome: I introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Ramos! My cousin Harry recently got married to this awesome lady, Lieu last weekend. And they chose my sister to be photographer!

A is for Alyssa

3. I'm really hungry at the moment.
4. Please visit and continue to visit Toothbrush4You because I know you are all awesome! Comments are appreciated! =D

Instead of studying for my two midterms last weekend I went thrifting and antiquing with my parents. Thrifting was a success, not so much for the antiquing. We weren't looking for anything in particular, we mainly just went to look at all the different things in the different antique malls. I also didn't bring my camera so no pictures of that, although if any of you find yourself in Orange, CA, go hit up Old Towne Orange/Orange Circle because antiquing is a MUST! There is a bajillion antique stores there and it's the cutest little downtown area I've ever seen in real life.

So here's what I bought:

gorgeous dress of which I have no idea where or what occasion to wear to.

casual dress.

blue/purple maxi skirt.

Here's my "what's in my purse" post! So FYI, I change my bag/purse/whatever you want to call it, a lot. This is the one for this week haha. My Alexa knockoff from Forever 21, that I'm sure many of you own out there in blogland. I am just now noticing how boring my bag is. Of course this is on a school day, but I'm pretty sure that there isn't much of a difference from any other day. Although before doing this I thought I would have had a lot of stuff since I always feel like my bag weighs me down some, but whatevss.

1. Umbrella because the weather man told me it was going to rain, but of course, it did for about a minute and then stopped.
2. Makeup bag with some necessities: chapstick, lip gloss, lotion, hand sanitizer, oil blotters, mattifying powder, bobby pins...etc.
3. Hello Kitty pouch being used as a wallet, which I really need to change into a real wallet because it's just too small for all the cash I carry around with me. hah jk!
4. Case for the class I'm always complaining about. Got a 27.5 out of 40 on the last participation. I was just not feeling it, and she knew it, plus I couldn't back up what I said and I just KNEW she was going to give me a crap score. I. HATE. HER.
5. Retail marketing textbook, was planning on going to the library on this day to study, but after standing in line to buy my cap and gown I decided to go home instead.
6. Super cute organizer from Target to keep me sane.
7. I also carry my ipod and pens around daily, but those are tucked away into the pockets of the bag and I forgot to take them out.

HEYYYYYY!

2011-04-08T15:14:00.001-07:00

Okay it has been another busy week. I promise you I will be back full time soon!!

Anyway this post is dedicated to the awesome Jessica Rey of Rey Swimwear who just did a photo shoot for her new coverups with photographer Kristin Rogers. Be prepared for some amazing stuff!!!

Here's just a few, check out more at the Rey Swimwear Facebook and Kristin Roger's site

OH MY! So sorry blog world for my lack of posts. I am on spring break, well it's over tomorrow, and all I have been doing is school crap. And it's only for one class. (The one I'm always complaining about haha) I haven't even had any outfit pictures since it's all been bum-dressing for me for the past month. Jamie suggested for me to do a "what's in my bag post" so that is coming up soon, once I have time to take pictures haha. Probably on Thursday, my lovelies. My spring break has pretty much been wasted on this one paper that is due on Tuesday and it pisses me off that I couldn't have gotten it done any sooner. Other than that I did my interning bit, which is pretty awesome by the way.

And that's pretty much all I have to say. My apologies again!

boo you whore

Whew...classes are over and done with. Thank heavens, although I shouldn't be celebrating too much because there is too much to do this spring break since everything is due once class starts again. Must professors do that?! Lame sauce.

No outfit pictures to report because of all the busy-ness going on around here. You all need to check out the blog for one of my group projects though! haha We need some viewers! We're called Toothbrush4You. We're basically a toothbrush delivery service, offering other oral care products as well. We just have the blog set up, since we still have to learn how to set up our website. But this is a pretty awesome idea, I'm sort of wishing we this was a competition in the class, because we would hands down win that ish. My awesome sister made our logo and when we presented the blog yesterday in class I heard someone say "oh that's so cool!" which is awesome! =D And then some kiss-up wanted to know how it was made by asking who made it and if illustrator was used. Really, who asks that? Anyway, please visit and continue to visit because it's still new and there are only like two entries up right now. haha

I really don't have anything else to say than how excited I am to be on a break from classes. Oh and did I mention I got an internship! Awesome right? So my spring break will consist of that and finishing projects, oh and cleaning my room because it is a horrible mess and I've had no time to clean it in the longest time! My mom keeps coming into my room and saying how messy it is and how I seriously need to clean it. It's getting really annoying haha.

yeah

It's St. Patrick's Day! uh...yeah I don't celebrate this holiday and I think it's lame that you get pinched if you're not wearing green. But I unintentionally wore green today. Although I have no photo to prove of it haha.

I need to learn how to be photogenic. Excuse the nastiness that is this picture. But I'm in looooove with this sweater. It's got freaking elbow patches! I'm pretty sure I'll love anything with elbow patches haha. Been going through one hectic thing we call life. Classes are being a biznatch...well more like one class is being a biznatch. But enough of that. I don't think I'm wearing makeup in this picture. barf.

sweater: h&m; tank: oldnavy; jeggings: target; flats: asos
How have you all been? I don't remember where I wore this outfit. It was probably school, I do remember wearing an awesome outfit with it afterwards though but my sister didn't listen to me when I told her to take my outfit picture and then it was too late, we both forgot. I'm pretty sure it's because we were so full of Todai. It was half an interview outfit half not. I'll wear it again one of these days so you could all see the awesomeness of it.

I need a haircut. You can't tell from this photo because it's grossly curled, but it's nastily thick and long. I love the length of it, just the thickness of it grosses me out. It's starting to get warm and my head of hair needs to be thinned out asap.

2011-03-15T21:25:00.000-07:00

SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM THIS NEVER ENDING READING OF NUMEROUS TEXTBOOKS AND NOTES!!!!!!!

One midterm after another, one project after another. I'm over it haha. Senioritis. Although I haven't really thought a lot about graduating (I'm just worried about passing all my classes). Everyone is always pointing it out and I'm just like "ugh, don't." I can't see myself out there in the real world yet. They really need to prepare you for things like this before you graduate. You have what like 16+ years of schooling and then that's it they expect you to go out there and face reality. Sure they do give you some preparation, but I feel like it's not enough. But then again, forcing us out there is the only way we'll learn. We watched the following video in one of my classes today (it's almost 5 minutes long just to warn you):

And the part where everything you learn by your 3rd year in college will be basically obsolete was really the only part where i was like "WHAT?!" I mean there were other parts that shocked me as well, but this one kept me thinking. But wow right? I never really thought about all that until we discussed the video in class. Just goes to show how much catching up we all need to do right? The world and technology are changing at such a fast pace. Along with everything else we have going on in life, we need to keep up with all that is changing.

(side note: during this class, I've never heard a guy say "like" so much in the matter of our 40 minute discussion on this and other things in class. he participated a lot and said "like" in his answers A LOT. "it was like..." "and like..." "uh, like..." "like...like...like" ughhh SERIOUSLY!)

(other side note: in another class a girl was giving a presentation and I SWEAR every other word was "um." aslkfjalsdkfj I was getting extremely annoyed and after a while I started twitching after every time she said it. "um....um.........um...............um." STOP!)

Just a little thing for you all to think about, I'm sooo procrastinating on studying for my midterm and quiz tomorrow, if you couldn't already tell.

Ah, how exciting is this clip?!?! Especially for those of you who have read the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I read them last year and what a guilty pleasure. They are a total cheesefest, but I enjoyed every minute of every single book and there are I think 10 or more of them? This season is going to be ahhhhhmazing, I hope.

My heart goes out to everyone in Japan. I'm happy to say my cousin, who lives about 100 miles away from Sendai is safe and sound; it was a little scary because we didn't hear from her right away, but she eventually contacted the family saying she and her husband were safe. She says it's really hard to find any food because everything is closed and it's hard to get anywhere. She also says that as of today there are still many aftershocks.

This is crazy stuff. I can't believe everything that's happened over there. I get teary-eyed just watching the news reports. It really puts reality into perspective for one living in giant-earthquake-is-due-California. Putting our disaster kit together as we speak because we always say we will do it, but never do. This time I am totally serious about it.

Please do what you can to help Japan. They are in my prayers.

pullover: mom's from h&m; dress: forever 21; boots: gojane.com

Another outfit post!! =D Featuring my nephew, Phillip Junior. As soon as he heard my sister and I were going out to the backyard to take these photos, he shouted "I want to go!" and grabbed his baseball and bat. Then he didn't want to get out of the picture since he wanted his picture taken too haha.

So I'm pretty late in the game with this, but this was my first time doing the whole pullover over dress thing. Mainly because this is like the only pullover I have and it's not even mine, it's my mom's. Usually pullovers over dresses look weird on me until I put this one on complete with the belt.

I went shopping finally this past weekend. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've been properly shopping since the new year. I really can't remember the last time I bought clothes since before the new year. Crazy right?! It's seriously not like me. But yay. It wasn't a big purchase or anything, but it's still something. Stay tuned for my goodies filter in through future outfit posts!

I'll wait for you. Will you wait for me too?

2011-03-06T22:21:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Finally a proper post! The weekend seems the only time I get to actually sit down and write a post. But here I am and I'm not really sure what to write about haha.

top: forever 21; skirt: h&m; belt, jacket: thrifted; boots: gojane.com

These were taken last week. On one of the only two days I remembered/wasn't too tired to take an outfit picture.

In other news, I'm OBSESSED with the new Strokes song, "Under Cover of Darkness." Who is with me?! It's been such a long time since they have come out with anything new! I remember listening to them nonstop in high school after this girl introduced me to him. She was completely and overly obsessed with Julian Casablancas and seriously had his picture all over her binder. She lent me a few cds of all the indie music she was listening to at the time like Moving Units and The Rapture. Man I wonder what she is up to right now haha. She was pretty weird and I'm pretty sure not all there in the head haha! Well I'm rambling here. So, the end!

Tiny update because I need to.

I just finished writing an insanely hard case report for this insanely hard class. I seriously spent all evening (4:30pm-12:00am) on this one piece of homework and I have never been more scared for a class in my life and I am not even joking in the least. A classmate and I have been texting/calling each other back and forth since 4:30 because we are both in the same boat, which is confused as hell. Our professor is just requiring so much from us, which I guess is expected seeing this is the last Marketing class we are supposed to take ever, but we could only do so much! haha And I feel like we aren't even discussing anything marketing related. Most of these cases are management related like figuring out ROI or decisions on expanding a tennis facility, but nothing having to do with marketing. Unless we haven't gotten to those cases yet. But anyways, my head is just a bunch of fluff right now and I have so much group stuff to do for other classes that I haven't even started yet and we are meeting tomorrow. I just needed a little vent because the work for this one class is just the most killer work I've ever had to do. It will be a miracle to get through this class.

In an unrelated and very random note, in my Internet marketing class today, we were discussing blogs and my professor asked if anyone in the class blogs and only two people raised their hand, but said they USED to. I was too shy to raise my hand since he would most likely pry and ask a bunch of questions. I just thought that was funny. Also no one in class but one person raised their hand to my professor question of whether or not we follow blogs. I really enjoy this class because everything is so interesting, relevant and up-to-date, unlike the one I'm struggling with right now.

I'll be posting my outfit pictures this weekend so stay tuned!

And holy crap, it's March already?!?!

it sure does.

Random fact: I just read that Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons was born in the hospital (now a school) down the street from my house, but 6 months later his parents moved back to their native England.... Say whaaaaaat?!

Taking time out of preparing for what will be an extremely busy week of school crap to give you a little update since I've been a little mia. (I'm sooooo behind catching up on everyone's blogs!!!!) I'm currently writing this at 12:42 am and it's seriously pouring outside and let's add some wind. I didn't even know it was going to rain! I woke up this morning to it and was like "whaaaaat?" Anyway I'm not really sure where this whole thing is going, but I guess it's just to let you all know I will be mia again this week because seriously there is just so much a girl can do handling these last 5 classes necessary to getting my BA in marketing!!! grrr school for giving us so much work (and having us pay an extra $50 for extra documents and cases!). I do have one outfit picture to share with you all. Only one because it was the only day of the week I remembered. I'll try to get to it this upcoming week if I can! =D

See you all soon! && Have an awesome weekend!

It's been a busy busy day and I didn't get anything done on my to do list. I slept in and it was extremely nice until I heard my niece and nephew yelling at each other. I went with my mom and niece Lily to the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda since it was free today for President's Day. It's a nice place to visit, but not one where I would have regularly paid $9.95. My mom had said she really wanted to go there, but didn't want to pay that haha. She jumped when I told her it was free. The place is mainly a bunch of artifacts that he owned/were given during his administration. Also, he was born Yorba Linda and they have the exact house there, which is crazy once you walk in because it is so freaking tiny.

Oh, we also ran into my second grade teacher...also second grade teacher of my two older sisters and my niece. She looks exactly the same! The woman doesn't age!

We forgot our regular camera so we had to use our phones. I also brought my fisheye and took like two pictures. But I did get some developed today as well, but I'll save those for another post.

Didn't take a regular outfit picture because I forgot, again. So sorry for looking so frumpy in these.

dress: mom's; jacket: forever 21; purse: thrifted; boots: dolce vita for target

Agh, now I really need to catch up on reading!!!!

Did you all have a lovely weekend? I honestly don't know what to write right now. I'm sort of at a loss of words because all my energy has been put toward this one project for one of my classes where I had to find a company with a semi-long term problem that could be solved with marketing. I seriously had no idea which one to choose so I ended up picking Gap, mainly because the president just resigned. And now that I'm thinking of it maybe Gap wasn't a good choice after all because a day after reading that article I read what Gap is going to be doing now that the president resigned. But it's too late to change since I have to present my company and problem tomorrow. Ugh. Screwed!!!

My cousin came down for the weekend to look for a place to live since he's moving back from Utah and his company put him up at Embassy Suites so naturally he invited everyone over. haha So here's what I wore:

jeans and necklace: forever 21; top and blazer and scarf: h&m; shoes: dolce vita for target; purse: thrifted

Isn't my bag so awesome? I love everything about it! I'm glad my mom has great taste (sometimes) since she told me this one was better than another one I was considering.

Ah, could you all be dolls and take this one question survey for me! =D It's for my marketing research class. Thanks lovelies!

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears

Hello everyone. Fitting in this blog post from all that I have to read for my classes (of which I am so behind already!). These are from my sister's informal photo shoot with our cousin Tommy R. I swear this boy, there was no bad picture of him of the bunch!

The rest are here

Here's the picture where my other sister said I looked like a little girl haha. And I just realized everything I'm wearing is Target haha....ahhh, barf: excuse the face, did not have time to put any make up on before I left the house.

top, jeggings, cardigan: target; flats: asos

Feeling a bit behind in basically everything in life including the whole blogging universe. I hope I can think of more stuff to put here. I keep forgetting to take outfit pictures and the most recent one my sister told me I look like a little girl haha. This is a really random post. Classes are okay, even though I am getting mixed up between all of them since they are all revolving around the same subject, sort of. And it doesn't help when you have the same professor for two different classes back to back.

My sister did a photoshoot with our cousin the other day and I tagged along for fashion advice, even though my cousin has a style of his own and he was perfectly capable of mixing and matching his own pieces, plus I'm not that good at dressing guys. I hope my sister sends me pictures soon so I can show you all. I really should catch up on some reading.

Peace.

now hang me up to dry you wrung me out too too too many times

Been totally obsessed with the 60s since I've been watching I Dream of Jeannie recently. I want every single dress Barbara Eden wears as Jeannie. I'm serious! I don't think there was one I thought was absolutely hideous. I would so rock all of them if I had this wardrobe! I need to find me some longsleeve minidresses in bright colors freaking asap!! And I need to learn how to get my hair looking like hers.

via

Isn't she just gorgeous? Aren't her dresses just the most darlingest things you've ever seen? These were the best pictures I found because all the screenshots I took were pretty crappy. I think most of these are from the later seasons though.

I saw a bunch of dresses that could potentially fit me on ebay, but thanks to the $300+ spent on textbooks it's going to be a while before I do some clothes shopping. =(

Hope you all had an amazing weekend, back to the grind tomorrow!

Ah, hello there! Long time no see? haha Let's blame that on laziness + lack of inspiration on what to post here + lack of internet when I finally decided to post something. I did have a few ideas, but again back to the laziness. So let's pretend that this is Friday January 21. Because it's when I wrote, but never posted the following:

I went to Dashboard Confessional's acoustic show last night at the Troubadour with cousins Lisa and Mark. I have no words for the experience I had. I swoon at the sound of his voice and my heart melts seeing him walk out onto the stage in his light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up revealing his beautiful sleeve tattoos. He had a sort of 50s look to him and I imagined a pack of cigarettes tucked into his sleeve, although I'm sure he doesn't smoke. His hair was well groomed, as always, and he looks as if he hasn't aged at all in the 10 years since his first album, Swiss Army Romance was released.

The night was perfect, minus the stupid drunk people next to us. I blocked them out as best as I could because nothing will stop me from having an amazing time when I am in the same room as Chris Carrabba. I had a very good view throughout the whole show, including the opening acts and I had very few obstructions in my sight path, which is a rare occurrence when you're barely 5 feet tall, damn you tall people!

Johnny Lefler opened and I really enjoyed everything he played. It was a very nice mellow opener. Next up was Lady Danvile, who I loved very much. It also helped that the drummer was such freaking stud. They did a great cover of MGMT and this cute song called "I Want You Back" where all three of them stood around one microphone. After them was lead singer of Saves the Day, and I really don't remember his voice sounding so nasally. I haven't really listened to them since high school and I only have two songs in my iTunes. Let's just say I was pretty bored and restless by this point.

Then Chris (like I know him haha) took his sweet time coming out. The changes between sets were pretty fast until it was his time to go on. Then he walked out, all the flashes came and I was suddenly in a different world. He sang majority of Swiss Army Romance. i seriously teared up hearing Age Six Racer (don't judge). He hasn't played that song the past few shows we've been to and hearing it is just freaking out of this world since it was the first ever song I heard of Dashboard Confessional. He played majority of the old stuff, throwing in a more recent song here and there. He also smiled a lot during this show, which is just so freaking adorable I want to die; I smiled along right with him. And he ended with one of my top favorite songs and his favorite song to end with, Hands Down. Then he blew kisses good bye. asldkfjlkafj I'm such a fan girl when it comes to Chris Carrabba.

We drove home and I found my voice feeling all scratchy, which has never really happened to me before. ahh.. such a good night. =D Can't wait until the next tour.

My only two good pictures of the night taken with my phone, and the first one isn't even a clear one. boo. He never stood still for me to get a non-blurry picture!

don't look back

Hello there first post of the new year for me and I really do hope you all fantastically rang in the year with some lovely people! I started the new year off buying myself a bag and some flats from ASOS haha. I can't wait to get them in the mail!! How was your night? I went to my cousin's house to celebrate and it was surprisingly a better night then expected, seeing that I am a giant pessimist.

singing to their favorite, New Kids on the Block.

It was a really lazy night, fashion wise because I was really fed up with my choices and I really need to get some jeans hemmed. I opted for this dress that I've worn a million times. I also didn't have time to think of anything else creative with it other than black cardigan and my coat. I just grabbed this leopard scarf because it was super cold outside. And this is definitely not a flattering picture, so warning to you. Bleh.

dress and coat: forever 21; tights: target; cardigan(not shown): h&m; boots: my sister's old doc martens

How awesome are "my" pair of Doc's? haha They are actually the OG ones that came out back in the day and according to the Doc lover I know they don't make them like the used to. I found them a few years ago when my mom was doing the waaaaay long over due task of cleaning out our shoe closet. They were my sisters, Set's, but when she saw them wearing them for the first time I told her finder's keepers! =p

resolutions:
- bake more
- job
- learn to work with the clothes i have
- eat healthier
- read more
- study harder

welcome 2011

2010-12-27T18:30:00.000-08:00

Hope you all had a Happy Christmas! It was busy busy over here. We had Christmas Eve festivities here at my house. We waited until after midnight to open gifts. One of my little cousins was reluctant because according to him it wasn't Christmas Day yet. I was so tired after it all I seriously knocked out after everyone left. Before knocking out I did regret putting on a full face of makeup because I forgot about it and remembered right when I laid down on my bed all ready for some sleep. I went for a super casual outfit for the night, even though to my sisters I was "all dressed up." I was in love with the way my hair turned out. I've never gotten it to look like that before so it was aweeeeesome.

top: thrifted; jeggings: target; necklace: forever 21; shoes: payless

Christmas Day festivities weren't until dinner time so we pretty much had the whole afternoon to lounge. Then onto the partayy at my lovely cousins' house. I think I ate way more on this day than ever. Too much good food is at fault. Plus my niece made cheesecake and I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in cheesecake, I guiltily at the last of her second one last night.

Did you get your shopping done??! My sister woke me up this morning from one of the smaller malls here at 9:30am still looking for last minute presents. I finished yesterday afternoon, getting a total last minute gift.

We're having Christmas Eve here at our house for one side of the family and Christmas Day at the other side. Can't wait to eat all the food we're going to have. Gah, so fat over here! haha Hope you were all on Santa's good list this year! and I hope you got at least something on your Christmas wishlist!

my face blew up at such a casual sight this miracle is of ecstatic fright

2010-12-21T20:32:00.000-08:00

I had a really good dream the other night/early morning, but I seriously can't remember a thing other than I woke up feeling really happy. But sadly that moment was completely killed after hearing my nephew screaming about something and my two uncles talking really loud in the next room. I shouldn't get worked up about it because it happens EVERY MORNING. Minus the ones where I get up before everyone else, but that only happens when I have class and since classes are done, nastily waking up to a very loud house will most likely be the norm. Um, back to my point: don't you just hate it when you can't remember your dreams? Cobb from Inception was so right when he said the more you try to remember your dreams the harder it is.

Outfit from last Wednesday. This picture doesn't really do the color of my top justice since my sister photographer wanted to take them outside with our Christmas lights and then I got lazy to take ones where you could see it....and this is the only one my sister sent me.

top: thrifted; jeggings and cardigan: target; shoes: dolce vita for target; purse: zara

Outfit for Sunday. Did nothing special because people can be full of lame sauce sometimes. After church I did go to my parents' Christmas party for their choir group and eat some really good food. Food being the only good thing about it. The rest of the afternoon was full of studying, studying, oh and more studying. I have one more final left and it's on Friday! ugh Crappy thing about that was I thought it was supposed to be on Wednesday, turns out I was looking at a different class that wasn't mine. All this waiting to take it is really putting off me studying!

Here I am all set with wearing tights and leggings with boots and the like then all of a sudden BANG we're hit with some 85 degree weather this past weekend and I am speechless as to what to wear. haha I woke up Saturday morning to the same old high 60s/low 70s and then come the afternoon it was like summer all over again. So there I was not appropriately dressed for the weather, nor a house full of people to add to the heat. Plus running all over my sister's house helping her get things ready for Junior's party. I regretted not shaving my legs in the morning and opting to hide them with tights haha because I really wanted to take them off.

Anyhow....Junior's party was a success. My sister went all out with his Super Mario Bros. theme. It was awesome. In all my rushing in the morning I forgot his present! But I did get a picture of him holding present #1 that I gave him on his actual birthday haha.

me and Junior, with special appearances by Nemo, Mario, and Luigi

It's my nephew, Phillip Junior's, 4th birthday today! He chose to stay home and have his mom cook dinner for him rather than going out. It was all he wanted and he would get mad at anyone who told him that they would be the one cooking instead of his mom haha. We're having a big party for him on Saturday so I gave half his present today and saved the other half for this weekend. Stupid me forgot to take a picture of him holding part of my present to him, which is a copy of The Cat in the Hat. They just started a The Cat in the Hat tv show on PBSKids, which he watches every morning.

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello. Just stopped by to say Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans out there. I hope you have a fantastic day full of family, friends, and most of all FOOD! =D This is your one day of the year where you can just pig yourself out. So put on your stretchy pants and go for it! For those of you braving the cold streets and crazy lines tonight for Black Friday, best of luck to you on finding whatever you are in search for!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Laaaate post.

Last Sunday, November 22nd, was my nephew, Jayson's baptism. It was a great very spiritual day full of God, family, friends, and babies! The weather cleared up after a bit of rain and the sun came out making it a perfect afternoon for a baptism.

Harry Potter!!

2010-11-20T23:12:00.001-08:00

I saw Harry Potter today!!!!! Sick and all! Luckily the theater wasn't as full as I thought, maybe because it was raining? But no one was sitting in the row besides my sister and I. I sat there and cough my head off into my jacket when I needed =D.

Sooo, for those who watched it, how ahhhhhhmazing was it huh??? I thought it was one of the best. I loved every single bit of it. And I'm so so so so so sad that we have to wait until July of next year to see Part Two! That is such a long time from now! Wow. I really really wanted to go to a midnight screening, but no one wanted to go with me, but I swear for Part Two I will be one of those in line at midnight.

I wish there was a wizard world and that I was part of it. Man they've got so much cool stuff. I would love that tent, because then I probably would like going camping. The spell that Hermione put on her bag to make it fit EVERYTHING, now that would be so freaking useful! Ah we could just do so many awesome things with magic!

2010-11-17T16:22:00.000-08:00

I couldn't have gotten sick at a worse time! It all started Saturday night when my nose started feeling funny. Then Sunday morning I had a stuffy nose and I could barely speak. To make matters even worse I had a midterm Monday morning.

It sucked, to say the least. 1) this guy took my regular seat leaving me to the corner seat (which later on turned out to be good because) 2) I used up all the tissues I brought and I felt nasty getting my germs all over the computer mouse and keyboard 3) I'm pretty sure I failed the midterm since I wasn't putting my all into it. 4) I planned on going home after that class until....I ran into my professor in the bathroom! so then I felt really bad for skipping and sat through it. Thankfully she is sick too so she cut class a little short

Now I would have ditched my Tuesday morning class if we didn't have a midterm on Thursday (tomorrow) and if the class wasn't so damn confusing. I almost used up all my tissues during this class, but I still felt gross getting my germs all over the keyboard and mouse, plus I wasn't in the corner to hide the fact that I was sick so I'm sure everyone saw me wipe my nose at some point because it was constant stuffiness (as it always is when I'm in class and it doesn't clear up until I stand).

So this morning I ditched class #1 even though I had to attend class #2 because we had a group project due and all members needed to be present. LAME! Here I am attempting to study for my midterm tomorrow, the last thing to get done and over with before break.

The point of this is that this week has been pure hell. I don't ever, ever want to be sick again. I have been chugging down water and orange juice and tea like no other and I have been taking the max amount of vitamin C pills I'm allowed. But still nothing has even lessened, I even started coughing, which is new since before I just had a sore throat and no cough. Man this took up a lot more than I expected.

The end.

I hate how my "Books Read" list comes to a complete hault once classes start and usually doesn't pick up again until the following year. The last book I attempted to read was Catch-22, but classes took over and I stopped reading it, plus I had to return it back to the library after reaching the max times you can renew books. I have a never ending "To Read" book list, but here's my "Books to Read Before 2010 Ends" list.

The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath - Sylvia Plath
Totally started this, but I didn't finish before I had to return it back to the library after renewing the max number of times!

Veronika Decides to Die - Paulo Coelho
I saw the movie and even though I enjoyed it, would love to see how it plays out in words.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson
Everyone says that this is a really good book and I must read it as well as the other two in the trilogy before the movie comes out!

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Has been on my list for the longest time, I really should get on that.

Girl, Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen
This would be a re-read, but I forgot I had the book until I saw it sitting in my sister's room.

The Alchemist - Paulo Coehlo
Also forgot about this book until I saw it sitting in my sister's room. She hasn't even read this one yet since I bought it.

If I add anymore to this list I would totally be getting ahead of myself. I should start this now as its the lull between midterms and finals.

Halloween 2010

2010-11-08T18:31:00.000-08:00

A whole week late with this post, but what the hell...

I was a hermit the whole Halloween weekend because of having to wear my stupid glasses. Just to let you know I hate wearing my glasses in public. I look about 10 years younger. I originally had plans to go out and because I didn't have a costume I rummaged through my mom's closet and I had myself a home made flapper costume. Then the whole contact fiasco happened and I ended up staying home. It's all good though; I spent my night with a young Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. Sunday I went with the all the kids to the mall for some trick or treating. Then ended the day with a late lunch over at Five Guys Burgers.

For those of you who are curious about Johnny Cupcakes I did link him so all you had to do was click the link. Anyway he sells t-shirts, my bad for not saying what it was I guess I was just caught up in the moment of how awesome he is. haha

_________________________________________________________

I saw The Temper Trap last Friday and it was aweeeeeesome. I haven't been to a concert since last December and seeing some live music was exactly what I needed. Met a bunch of people so the waiting time before and between sets went by pretty fast since you're not just standing there waiting. I also was reminded how I really do need to wear comfortable shoes, at least put some insoles to make my feet feel more comfy. I was going to, but then I totally forgot to stick them in there while getting ready.

I wish I had pictures, but I didn't bring my camera and I couldn't get any good shots with my phone camera anyway what with all the heads obscuring my view. It's during concerts I wish I was taller. 5'0" is not a good height when you want to see the stage from a crowd. I really wish I took pictures of opening band #2, Delphic, because that lead singer was verrry good looking and dressed very well.

I really should be studying right now so this is the end. =D

hey, dont talk to me that way.

2010-10-21T15:16:00.000-07:00

Helloooo.

On Monday I was at school until midnight. For what, you ask? Well to hear a lecture by none other than Johnny Cupcakes. I honestly had never heard of it until I saw the flyers all around the business building (where all my classes are held) and I saw all the tweets on twitter. So I checked the site out and decided that I wanted to go hear what this guy had to say. After class Monday I went back home, napped then we (my sister Abby and I) left. Luckily we got there early because the line got so extremely long. The auditorium held 260 people, every seat was filled and there were at least another 40-50ish people sitting on the stairs and on the floors and standing way at the top of the room.

I really enjoyed what Johnny had to say. It was a lot of basic stuff about how to start your own business, but he put his own touches to it and had very interesting stories. The lecture ended around 10:30ish and we stood in another line to buy shirts, of course we couldn't leave empty handed. Then stood in another line to get to meet him. I really wish we talked to him more, we met for like a minute since campus police wanted everyone out asap and there were still 20 people in line behind us.

A weird thing: about a week before the lecture and when I decided I wanted to go I saw my cousin's twitter say that she was "having dinner with @johnnycupcakes." And I was like whaaaat? So I asked him about it when we met and he's like "yeah they (my cousin and her boyfriend) stayed at my place in Boston, I showed them around..." How crazy is that? I really would have talked to him more about it if we weren't pressed for time.

He had great insights about shopping, businesses and the like. It's made me rethink the way I shop. It's really inspiring hearing someone talk about their lives, especially his!

The line wrapped around, then went out the door and wrapped around again.

I wished I didn't look prego in this top. It was a lazy outfit day since the weather was still all rainy and cold. And I wish the guy who took our picture held for a second after taking it so the pictures weren't so blurry.

speaking of cupcakes...I could really use one right now. p.s. He doesn't really sell cupcakes.

fools, they don't know what they're on about

2010-10-17T17:05:00.001-07:00

Last Friday, the 15th, was my older sister's birthday and as tradition goes, we went out to eat. Since the place she really wanted to have dinner at is sort of unsuitable for kids we went to Chili's to take advantage of their 2 for $20 dinner. We were all pretty much full off of our appetizers once our food came, which is what usually happens when we order appetizers. And since we are so full we put off dessert.

It's finally feeling like Fall over here what with the cloudy skies, rain, and colder weather. Here was my outfit for the night:

skirt: target; top: h&m; cardigan: target; tights: h&m; flats: payless; bag: forever 21

My aunt calls us the "tres marias." And when my sister Set put this picture on facebook my favorite comment by our cousin was "who needs the kardashians?" hahaha

ohhh twilight...

2010-10-14T11:42:00.000-07:00

I admit I was a fan of the Twilight Series, back when no one knew about it and before the whole thing turned into some teeny bopper fest. I still watch the films, even though I have been way beyond disappointed, but whatever I couldn't help my curiosity and yes I bought them all of dvd because I said "might as well." Anyway my point is they just released the cast and guess who is on the freaking list? My favorite Piemaker, Ned...real name: Lee Pace. Gah, seriously Mr. Pace?! Come on! I know you haven't been doing anything lately and you probably need some cash, but did you have to resort to this?

I can't help but be sad for him taking this part. But I think that is because of the low expectations I have of Breaking Dawn. Ever since the first film let me down like you don't even know I've learned to go in with extremely low expectations so I don't feel like I did when I walked out of watching the first one. Because I was a giant fan. I went to freaking ComicCon for them. I ran my ass off to get in line to the freaking panel, I pushed my way through to get into the meet and greet lottery line, and I so badly wanted to kick some 10 year old girl's ass because I saw she got the damn marked ticket. Then the movie happened, the whole thing blew up and so I stepped back and thought "what the hell?" Now I could really give a crap about the whole thing, well maybe a little, but you know.

I confess I still want to see Breaking Dawn, just because it's the last one and I'm dying to know how the hell they pull off that birthing scene, and because of Robert Pattinson aka ~~Edward Cullen~~Cedric Diggory. The books are still on my shelf collecting dust. One of these days I'll let my niece read them since she has been dying to even though we all refuse because seriously, kids under 16 shouldn't be reading the book even if the age says they can.

Back to my point of Mr. Lee Pace. I hope his part is good. I can't remember who he is and what his part is in the book because it's been years since I read the books, but he better had been given a worthy part with some worth lines (because we all know how bad the writing is). So my luck goes out to him, but he'll always be Ned, The Piemaker. Man I wish they didn't cancel Pushing Daisies.

I just watched Edward Scissorhands last night for the first time in yeeeeeeeears. I seriously can't remember the last time I saw this movie in full. And I think I saw it in a different light since I'm way older now and as cheesy as I am I wanted to cry at the end! Johnny Depp is perfect as Edward and I can't believe that Tim Burton originally wanted Michael Jackson as the lead role! How different that would be. The little quirks of Edward are just so adorable! Like when Kim finds him in her bed and she runs out screaming, but he just walks out all nonchalantly. Or when he is trying to put on the pants and he uses the belt loops to pull them up haha. I also love the way Burton plays on suburbia with the pastel houses with matching colored cars, the plain buildings, and the patterns. Don't get me started on the music. I usually don't notice the music in a movie unless its an actual song I like, but the score usually just goes over my head, but after my Film Music class last semester that all changed. The score is just beyond amazing. There is too much I love about this movie. Nothing can even compare it's just that fantastic.

it's yet to be determined, but the air is thick, and my hope is feeling worn

2010-10-08T18:51:00.001-07:00

I complain about the weather way too much here. It just hasn't been consistent right now and it can get very irritating. Just early last week we were in 110+ degrees and a few days ago we were barely reaching 60-65 degrees? Weird. At least I got a little sneak peek of fall/winter by busting out my tights and boots. It was rainy three days of the week, which is always not fun when you have to drive and walk and study in it. But according to the weather reports the thermometer will reach the mid 90s again. I wish mother nature would decide on what season it wants!

First outfit picture in a whiiiiile. And it's only one because it's the only blog worthy one out of the bunch from the week.

dress: forever 21; cardigan: target; belt: target; shoes: dolce vita for target

Excuse that tent in the background. It was left over from the garage sale we had at my house last Saturday. This picture is also making me realize I need a haircut!

p.s. thanks for all your lovely birthday wishes!

I had a very low key birthday last Thursday. We had my family dinner at Ruby's. A new one just opened up near my house and it's such a cute location because they had renovated one of the oldest buildings in the city and turned it into the restaurant. And that's about it. I was way too lazy to plan anything else. Also forgot to take an outfit picture, although it wasn't anything spectacular because it was extremely hot the whole week (reached 113 degrees earlier in the week), so my uniform for the week was basically shorts and a tank top.

excuses...excuses...

2010-09-29T18:09:00.001-07:00

So I have a total legitimate excuse for my tiny absence. My beloved Macbook Pro has temporarily died. I brought it to Apple to see what the problem was and they told me, as I suspected after doing countless google searches, that it's totally fixable and that I just need to replace my logic board. I'm still scoping out some of the Apple authorized places for a cheaper place to get it done so until then I have been using my mom's much newer Macbook Pro. =D Thankfully I have a 10 day old back up of everything (although I am kicking myself for not backing up sooner!), so not all is lost. Also I have midterms coming up so there will be a lot less of me, and I don't have anything planned to post haha. I still have my phone to visit all your lovely blogs, so I'll see you when I see you.

GOOSEBUMPS!

So, it's my birthday coming up (ugh) in less than 10 days. It's so true when they say it's all downhill after you turn 21. So. Freaking. True. I guess the only thing to look forward to is graduating and hopefully finding some kind of job related to what I want to do for the rest of my life, which would be....I'm not quite sure yet. I do have an idea, but we'll see. Anyway, my realistic birthday wishlist:

The Collected Poems by Sylvia Plath

The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics Hardcover)

SX-70 Polaroid film

Big headphones

Pens from Sanrio

Super cute 2011 planner

Box of macarons

Tiered stand for jewelry

Some long necklaces: 1, 2, 3, 4

Clock necklace

Circle scarf

I'm not even going to tease myself with my unrealistic wish list because, it will be a damn tease knowing I won't be able to get any of it! Which is why I try to avoid window shopping online because I just get so depressed saying "aww i would love this!" then one glance at the price is what does it. Lame.

living your life in the gray is the new american way, we're spending what we haven't made

If there were a library near me that looked like either of the two above, I'd probably get better grades.

I just took my first exam of the semester yesterday and it took me the whole time to take it, and I'm usually a pretty fast test taker, I don't even rush things either. I just get it done, look over my work (most of the time) and turn it in. But this one almost everyone was still there sitting in their seats when I turned in my exam about 2 minutes after class officially ended. I started getting freaked out about 15 minutes before because I usually finish by that time. I think when almost the whole class is still sitting in the room doing their exam after class is supposed to end is a sign to lighten up the damn questions! Either that or my professor should get to class on time because she is never there on time and it gets annoying when you have to stand almost shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of people in the hallway!
