Merry Christmas!

500 Days of Summer

"This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story."

'guess that's what you call beginners luck!

Last night was my Tita Beth's birthday celebration, Of course along with that was my family's usual poker sessions. I never thought I'd join them and play, goodness! i don't even know how to play cards except for the "monkey" game.. haha (the one where in you look for the pair of the card you're holding and all.. haha) anywayyy, since i'm so so bored plus i forgot my wireless internet connection tsss... :Z i'm left with nothing to do but to join them in their game.. so i asked help from my cousin (gosh! she's 4 years younger than me and she's really freakin' good in poker! how 'bout that! :|) in the middle of the night, funny it seems.. I'm starting to win! hahaha.. I'm getting good good sets of cards! wheew.. The game's fun, but addicting! really addicting! (i'm telling you! haha) they started around 5pm then we ended around 11pm, time flies so fast when you play poker.. it's a good family bonding (i think?) 'coz anyone can join except the little ones of course! :D hahaha... so there..

This is (exactly) how i want my next room to look like. I'm a die hard fan of vintage and all their patterns and colors!!! The color scheme i used is monochromatic but i added a bit of turquoise to balance the design. I want majority of my furniture pieces in white and modern (but still has the feel of vintage), I'm supposed to add a bed but unfortunately i can't find one that's perfect for the concept (ugh!). The textures and patterns are very soft and smooth which makes the room more inviting. Can't wait to move in our new house! (excited much? haha) Overall i super duper heart the concept!!!! So there! hope you liked it too! :)

woot! woot!

Horoscope:

Let's face it -- you don't want to be the power behind the throne, although you're quite good at it. Bide your time, however. Someone needs you in that capacity, and even you have to admit that your talents match extremely well with such a position. Fortunately, the powers that be have noted your talents. They have big plans for you -- almost as big as the ones you have for yourself!

...made my day! yay! :))

I Misssss.....

"How many times have you fallen in love
and allowed yourself to be just swept away?..."

Mommy, Surprise!

last weekend, i surprised mom with fresh roses from dangwa...

Goodness! we woke up 5am! but tita picked us up around 6:30 (great tita! HAHA).
Anywaysss, as soon as we get there we went straight to tita's favorite store ('cause it's cheaper daw if you know the seller)... we bought roses to be used as centerpiece' for Angel's birthday later that day... ugh! the smell of those fresh flowers are hypnotizing, makes me wanna go back there every morning!!
...i asked tita how much a dozen of roses cost, she said it's only 80-100 bucks! (what the F!) sooo much cheaper than those at the supermarkets! so I've decided to buy mom flowers,.. (weee)
so there...

here are photos of the flowers i gave mom.. :)

then... my friend and i went straight to the venue to finish decorating. I told my tita to kindly drop the bouquet to our house, so when mom wakes up it'll be the first thing she'd see which could possibly make her day complete! love you mom!

Love,

anyway,
...despite of my stressful-pressuring-time consuming school works i managed to make time for my dvd's. I've been addicted and still addicted to tv series' like privileged, 90210, Lipstick Jungle, gossip girl, the hills and more... patiently waiting for there next seasons... so there.. i'm currently watching The Hills (gaaah) i Love Lauren Conrad! from her hair to her internship from teen vogue to her apartment and of course her outfits!! (i'm dying to have her dresses and bagsss!!!)

...it saddens me thinking i have no more time for myself., no more pamper me days, no more friday and saturday chill with my friends and no more shopping! i only go to the mall if i have to buy something that's really really Important. (of course it involves school stuff).. :|

i miss my life. but what can i do? that's how college life goes (specially if you're taking majors already)....
ugh! can't wait to graduate!!! :))
