Thrill of The Hunt
Thrifting adventures are always the best thing. For me, it’s all about the find and what I’m able to discover when I’m searching through those bins. Headed with my Mom-in-Law to the Goodwill bins today — discovered some size 11 Cole Haans & BCBG Heels, beautiful flat sandals and an amazing Banana Republic jacket. Too bad it was either too small or too big for me. I did...

We Did It!
Four years & counting together, we finally took the leap. Now that the legal part is done, I’m so looking forward to our church ceremony + wedding reception in Winnipeg — not to mention being surrounded by our friends & most importantly, our family.

Tomorrow will mark one of the important days of my life. Needless to say, I’m excited then anything. I have a few things to pick up today & a few errands to run, but other than that, I’m all ready to go.
I’ve had feelings of deja vu lately — and it happened again earlier this morning on the drive from Portland to Corvallis with the fiance. We were talking about our...

M comes home today! I’m heading to the airport in a few minutes here. Can’t wait to see him — I feel like its been forever (even though its only been a few days). So weird how we live in the same city now and that I’m the one waiting for him. This is definitely a sweet perk.
He also told me he packed some of his stuff in a box he found at the show — so basically, he...

This quote by Pablo Neruda, a Chilean writer, is so beautiful & romantic, I couldn’t help but love it completely.
“But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds...

100.
I’ve gotten to 100 posts. Amazing. Didn’t know I even had that many posts, but I’m glad that I’m documenting things as they progress.
After reading my last post, I’ve realized that I need to get back to working out. This sloth-like behavior of mine is kind of getting on my nerves, so it’s time to start being more active — and playing just Wii Sports...

Sloth.
Today was probably one of the most unproductive days ever. I guess that’s what I get for being home on a Friday, lazying around like a sloth — literally. I was too far (and scared) to mess around with my laptop since it basically went psycho on me this morning. This made me aware of what I had to do: back up all my photos onto my 4gb USB and all my music onto my iPod.
Maybe, just...

2010 Handbook.
My friend, Colleen (who also reads this blog — hello, lovely!) sent me this 2010 Handbook. I thought that it was not only worth sharing for the year, but in life.
Health
1. Drink plenty of water
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants
4. ...

I Need Internet.
I won’t even front about it — I need Internet. I realized this after I was trying to get some “work” done this afternoon; and by work, I mean replying to e-mails, researching and downloading paperwork that I need.
And okay, I don’t just need internet for the social networks that are available (although having them is a great way to keep in touch), but more so for the...

Something that I don’t like is when people disrespect & take advantage of other people and when people use something & don’t ask. Being born & raised with a Filipino heritage, my parents instilled in me my beliefs of respecting people, and always being polite and kind. Alongside that, to make sure that the traditions they learned were passed down to me and that I would...

The Love-Hate Relationship I Had With Rogers...
Rogers & I’s relationship went something like this:
I hated you, Rogers…
when you charged me a ton of stuff on my bill
put fees on my bill that I didn’t understand
put me on hold for more than half an hour, and then gave me a bullshit loser who said that they “couldn’t help me” with my cell phone problems
say I went over my minutes (when I clearly...

Whirlwind.
It’s been a whirlwind these last couple of days. In between being close to completing decorating + designing both the living room and bedroom, M & I have been figuring out what goes where and what belongs with what, along with looking over paper work that I know should be taken care of as soon as this month ends.
Of course, there had to be a pause in everything. This past Tuesday, I had...

The Blazer.
My Mom-In-Law & I went shopping yesterday. I saw a beautiful blazer that fit & looked PERFECT on me. Of course, being the second-guesser that I am, I put the blazer down and went on my way, not purchasing it.
Big mistake.
From the moment we left the store until we got home, I kept on thinking about the damn blazer. It was priced right, looked awesome on me — and yet, I left it at...

Worth The Listen.
I was trying to upload Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek’s ‘Just Begun’ featuring Jay Electronica, J.Cole & Mos Def, but this bullshit theme won’t let me. Ridiculous. So, for your listening pleasure, I ask you to listen/download it HERE.
For me, this song is worth listening to — along with this incredible mixtape called ’ Talib Kweli + DJ Hi-Tek are Reflection Eternal:...

Don't You Hate It When...
… you’re waiting for something to come in the mail & spend the whole day literally doing nothing but just waiting for it? FAIL. Aside from waiting, I’ve had breakfast, took a shower, touched up the walls with some paint and attempted to reply to the stack of e-mails waiting to hear from me.
Hurry up, Fed Ex!
