blog birthday

As the year comes to an end, it also signifies the anniversary of my blog! Although I haven't been posting much lately, I still want to wish it a happy birthday. So here's to two years of writing random nonsense to appease myself, and hoping that I'll be blogging for many years to come!

CHEESY.

long time no post

Hiiii there! It's been a while time since I've posted, hasn't it?

Life was busy with finals, and then there was the holidays - hope everyone had as great a Christmas as I did :)

The truth is...I've been cheating on Blogger with Tumblr.

Yes, although I do love blogging here, I find it easier to post random, short things on Tumblr.

So I'll be saving long posts for Blogger, and have simple updates on Tumblr.

Next post coming up (hopefully soon!) will be about Christmas gifts, so watch out for that!

Have a great winter break everyone~

two and a half

The other day was Jeff and I's two and a half year anniversary, so we used that as an excuse to have an evening out for ourselves. We've been kinda busy with school and work, but this was a much-needed break!

We got up kind of late but nonetheless went to spend the evening at Harvard Sq, since we haven't been in a while. I dragged him to the usual shops - Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, etc. where I picked up a cute shirt and some nail polishes! Jeff also got me a more gifts for Christmas, but I already know what they are! He just refuses to give it to me until the day of. I'm such a lucky girl <3

After shopping around, we had dinner at Border Cafe, which was like a Tex-Mex restaurant. I've been there once before back in the day with my high school friends. It kinda felt like we were down south, like in Mexico! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food but it's okay once in a while.

To end the night, we decided to catch a movie. There seems to be nothing really good out, so we saw The Social Network. It's been out for a while...there were about 8 people in the theater! Haha.

Finals start tomorrow for my university - but mine's not until Monday. Phew. I gotta study TONS though!

crunch time

It's the last week of classes. I am SO not ready. I feel like I say this in every single post, but I just get so overwhelmed cause I procrastinate so much and it stresses me out. I bring it upon myself, I know. Maybe this weekend should have contained more schoolwork, but I did help my boyfriend out with his. Now I need to focus focus FOCUS!

How do you guys stay motivated? I lack motivation.

going broke was never this much fun

Have you ever been reading and can't stop smiling cause the book is so cute but then you look like an idiot in public? Well that's what I felt like today. Out of sheer boredom yesterday I decided to read the copy of Confessions of a Shopaholic lying around in my sister's room. I read it before bed, and then I kept reading it before class today until I was finished. Then I started to stream the movie from Netflix onto my phone! I haven't read a chick lit book (let alone any other book) in forever, and now I'm itching to get my hands on the next book. I really don't know why I never tried this series before...I'm a sucker for this stuff.

There's my little paragraph for the day.

Enjoy Friday tomorrow :)

hello december

I really cannot believe it's December already. Where did November go? But now that it's officially the holiday season, it's time to start thinking about...CHRISTMAS!!

The tree needs to be put up and decorated, and my Christmas shopping needs to be done. But while we're on the topic of presents...what's on your wishlist? I'm wishing for a new laptop and just heaps of clothes/accessories/cosmetics - you know, the usual ;)

The best part about Christmas for me is that my birthday is a week later! Can't wait for the festivities~
