Of Dots and Hearts

Happy Chinese New Year! #cny

I have decided to sleep tonight with my dotted top and heart printed pajama, both from La Senza, to welcome the year of the wooden horse. Well, the dot or anything round, as they say, brings wealth and good fortune. Of course, I want money. More shoe shopping for me! As for the heart printed pjs, do I have to state the obvious? Yes, I am looking for that non consumming love. 


Good night.

Midterms

Today is the start of five more exams for the midterm examinations. Taxation was manageable. Perhaps, it was all about general principles. Thank God!

Chopped Tresses

Yesterday, I had my tresses chopped a la Keira Knightly bob. 


I have always wear my hair shorty since I was a little until first year of Law school because I have always thought that long hair requires a lot of maintenance. I only grew my hair long after the summer of 2011 because I was gaining weight. And not to mention that I have a square face. Since it is Thursday today, I looked for old photos of me wearing a bob. And here is what i found: old pictures of with Lamby in one of our salon dates. Throwback Thursday it is! #tbt2010


After 3 years, I am finally back to my Dora hair!

Vervain-ish

There was a point in my life (summer of 2008) when I spent all my afternoons catching up with the episodes of Desperate Housewives. The series was introduced to my by Nikkivee after our internship at SCB. I got so hooked that until up to this day, I would always find myself comparing the newer series to it. Sadly, no one comes close. DH humor, storytelling style is so flawless... every episode is well thought of.

After DH, I got hooked on Prison Break. Thanks to an ex-bf who seemingly pretended/wanted to be like Micheal Scoffield. Ahaha. It is about two siblings who would do everything for each other. Yeah, bromance kind of thing. I got so deeply in love with Wentworth Miller's character and of course to his face. Too bad that we both like men. 

Then there's Suits in late 2012 for me. Most of my sorority sisters were talking about it because it is one series about law and lawyers. Goodness, if only I can have Mike's photographic memory, I guess, law school would be breeze. And of course, Harvey's charm is too much to handle. Although, the actors are good looking people and the story is great, but it is really the outfits of the girls that I like best--- Donna's and Rachel's!!!

I am not a fan of vampire thingy. The voracious reader in me did not even join the bandwagon in buying and reading the Twilight series. Well, I watched some of the movies but it did not piqued my interests. Not until I saw the Salvatore brothers in my sibling's laptop. He happens to be watching Vampire Diaries then and I could not help myself but borrowed his copies of all the episodes. For me, TVD has the most good looking actors in a series...ever! Everyone is so handsome and pretty. In fact, when Ian Somerhalder went here for Penshoppe's All Star Cast, i flocked to MOA just to have a glimpse of Damon. It was surreal. He was so handsome. His eyes are very sexy. Yes, I was smitten. I made it a point not to miss any episode because I don't want to miss seeing his face and of Stefan's. My addiction to TVD is something that i thought I could not let go until...

Keegan Allen happened. 

He plays the character of Toby in PLL. I don't have much words to describe so I decided to just post his pictures from the internet. Lord, can he be my boyfriend? Please??? Truth be told, he my vervain to the Salvatorre brothers.

End of Holiday Break

Tis the last night before I am going to be in touch with the reality once again as school resumes tomorrow. I am torn whether to start reading on my cases or to just watch the third season of PLL. A part of me wants to get started on looking for my Evid cases but the other half wants to thrill and amuse herself with Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria.

Holiday breaks are both bad and good.

It is bad when you get used to sleeping late watching series or reading random stuff online. It makes you forget about academic priorities--- that 2 weeks from now, it will be the midterm examinations already. It is also bad because it is so fattening. Non stop pigging out on occassions/celebrations left and right. Oink oink. I may have to buy a new pants or to work out double time just to trim off the holiday fats. 

On the other hand, holiday season is good because you get to be relaxed with the laid back atmosphere at home and in malls (Yes, malls are included. Helloooo? It is so relaxing to shop and look around for clothes, shoes, bags and make ups even if you are not to take them home with you. Hehe). Moreover, it is really good for ones health, especially to law students, that zzzzzz hours are longer. No pressure to wake up early to prepare or to stay up sooooo late for recitations. 

So, whether I choose the bad or the good thing this holiday break may bring, I am thankful that I got to experience a little of both. What am I going to do tonight? Well, you're guess is as good as mine.

SALE

Tis probably my favorite season of them all--- the end of season sale. Okaaaaay. That was a lame joke, forgive me. But really, I am certain that most girls (like me and C) would have to agree that end of season sale events are the best. Clothes, shoes, and bags are on 50 to 80% off. You get more stuff at a lesser cost plus you get to help the economy (Econ 101). See, shopping is not that bad.

The BFF and I had to wait for Zara's mark down before we flocked to the mall. With her busy schedule at work and my crazy tons of cases to read for my midterms, we had to make the most of our shopping date by making sure that our fave brands are all mark downs. Kuripot shoppers? Nah, just practical.


After burning holes in our pockets, we decided to have some cupcakes and coffee while waiting for "Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy" screening. There's a newly opened branch of Cupcakes by Sonja in the East wing so tried it out. 


BFF had pistachio topped with strawberry and icing while I had red velvet.


After devouring the cupcakes like mad men and catching up about the Holidays, we still had an hour left til the screening so we made another round at the ground level stores. Luckily for us, Kate Spade finally decided to restock the bag cleaner solution and cleaners. 

Come 7pm, we were on our way to have some good laugh. I just paid 5 pesos each for our tickets because I have MMFF passes courtesy of my Tita C.


The movie is so-so. Well, I not really a fan of Vice. I have some issues with the undertones all through out the movie. I am not acting prudish but my little cousins watched it on December 27, I wonder how they reacted to the subtle ways of Girlie enacting a blow job. I hope they didn't get it. Well, they really should NOT get it given their age. 

So, after the movie, we decided to go home. Til the next end of season sale, Camile.

NY

It is the first day of the year. Of 2014. A lot of people view January 1 as an opportunity to start all over again with a clean slate. Others even make resolutions on how they will live up the whole 2014, myself included.

But that was me last year.

This year, I plan to live my life very spontaneously. No more the stiff dash calculated dash deliberate me. I want to play 2014 by gut feelings— living for the moment. I am so tired of trying to figure out what life has in store of me and of living with all the “what ifs” I have subjected myself to.

Goodbye, 2013. Twas a rollercoaster kind of ride of emotions for me. It was sad and heart breaking when the person I have spent all my good times with died last November. Acads wise, it has been a good year as I am getting closer to getting my degree. Our family has always been into the close knit tradition so we are all stuck with one another—yes, both good and bad thing. The Philippines suffered a lot of calamities that cost a lot of lives in Visayas.

So, in 2014… let us all just have fun. Play life by the ear just like a music. Ooops, sounds like a resolution to me.

Cheers to 2014!
