Nespresso love

I want the nespresso u or nespresso pixie ugh!! long lost obsession sinceafter  Europe 2012. does that even make sense? Who cares. 

Nespresso perfecto

Another perfect day today. Went to the mall after lunch with B, but we picked up shaken black tea at Boiling Point before heading over. We shopped at Zara and H&M where I picked up some tops and found a pair of really cheap yet stylish Chelsea boots. I saw some really nice pieces at Madewell which I'm hoping to save up for and B spent time in J Crew and Club Monaco looking at shirts, pants, and jackets. He decided on a nice jacket from J Crew in the end because there was also a 25% off $150+ deal. We also got ham and cheese croissants from Vie De France in between the shopping and we stopped at the Nespresso bar. I thought the Nespresso and Chelsea boots totally topped it off nicely.........absolutely happy about today. (-:

P.s. we saw this beautiful jacket at club monaco today (totally NYC style) but kinda too expensive. But I thought I'd share. 

TGIF: update.

Had a real good day yesterday. 

Pool with B, went home to rinse off. got a java chip frap at Starbucks- yum I haven't had a frap in a while, and then we went to Barnes and Noble to read magazines. I found Frankie and Company but came home with only Company. For dinner, I took my sister to shabu and after that we came home relax and I got to play games on the iPad (I never get to use the iPad). 

Ps. I feel envious seeing my friends go back to school in NYC or going to study abroad.

I've been pretty inspired by and have been drawing inspiration from Lils, Ivan Trejo, Chelsea Elayne, and my bestie C recently.

me0w. I fear for school right now.
but I'm a little excited that I've planned out a potential road trip up north with friends, then following going out of country with C if all follows through.
more excitingly, H is coming home and (haven't told him yet but he'll see from this) that ABCH & I are going to go to LA to go shopping and to the Getty. Sort of also want to take a trip to the Orange Circle...

I just wish I could learn how to focus more and stop putting things off until last minute.

I hate going onto my computer because every time I do, I get carried away and waste so much time doing unproductive things.
I did find a lovely project, and (obviously) manage to read through all the posts so far up to date. It's a forty day dating experiment based on two New Yorkers with past relationship issues. My favorite post is probably day 5.
My three week class is so far intensive. With four hours of lab in the morning, a thirty minute break, then two and a half hours of lecture, I'm already worn out. Then follows another one hour of supplemental instruction. We have class three times a week and an exam on the fourth day. It makes me feel that I don't have enough time in a day to finish and cover or review everything I've learned that day. Hopefully I don't have to come in contact with another computer before Thursday afternoon.

Trying to shoot more in 35mm. Walmart was selling 37exp. disposables for the low price of $5! I feel a little regretful not buying any. Maybe next week?
I also managed to forget my entire pen bag at home, so I have to resort to using 'freebie' pens.

Went to my bestie's house yesterday for a hang out.
Before that I went over to B's mother's house to celebrate his birthday with them. T made us steak and potatoes and B's mother prepared a nice spring salad. There was so much food, I ended up so full. We did small present opening and sang the birthday song and cut a peach caramel custard pie, (since B requested no cake). hehehe what a witty mother...

We headed over to C's house after that.
A, A', & C had brunch already, since we were supposed to sleep over so we could partake in that but we didn't, so we missed out on that. No big deal though. Initially we wanted to swim, but when we got there, our moods changed so that also changed. We hung out and chatted until 6pm. The guys then wanted to start making pizza so while A and B did that, C prepped the salad and pizza toppings and A' cut watermelon. I tended the bacon and kbbq. Dinner was lovely as we sat and talked about future education plans and politics. Our conversation ventured onto studying abroad. We teamed up to do dishes after, and since we were a productive team, we ended the night watching a 'horror' movie: Cabin in The Woods.
Before we all parted, we cut cake (again) for B, but this time at C's house. B and I had picked out black forest cake from JJ Bakery the day before, so we enjoyed that.

I left that night having made plans with C about going abroad 2014, which is excitingly coming into plan because earlier tonight, my parents sounded like they were okay with me going abroad. (Cindy if you're reading this you're more than welcome to join if you wish!!). And I also learned that Bose's noise canceling headphones are the most awesome thing ever (if you enjoy serenity, peacefulness, and solitude while listening to music) but that it is also extremely expensive, so I won't be getting that anytime soon. C also gifted me another Voluspa candle in Santiago Huckleberry (thanks!♥)
Everything is going in plan. The only thing I'm scared of is my economics final that is coming this Thursday, but I think I should be able to do alright on it if I study enough...
Work is also coming to an end, and then I go back to school for chemistry classes. I just hope everything runs smoothly there and that I get time after to relax.

paree je'taime

i'm listening to la vie en rose, and instantly all my dark blue night time shadow thoughts are wiped away, and instead the beautiful eiffel stands in the distance sparking and the streets are laid out with cobble stones, and everything in that minute seems too romantic to be consuming. a nice waiter leads me to a plastic weave-patterned chair at a cafe, the table is outside and he brings me a nice plate of pasta.

inconsistent. unreliable. this is exhausting.
