if I said I Love You … What Would You Do?

Pink & Brown

After 26 years on this planet I have come to realize that my childhood dream of a princess like wedding is just that. Maybe it’d come true one day but I only want the first part — the good and fabulously elegant part. Yes I only want a marriage just the whole shebang and none of the second part — the marriage (running a house, raising a family, taking kids to school etc.)

Over the years I seek comfort in looking at beautiful dresses, cakes, wedding motifs and what not. And at the moment I am getting my kinks by looking at cute cakes and cupcakes in pink and brown. Pink and brown is one of those many color combinations that I find very very sweet and just cute. Have a look below … I know you’ll agree with me :)

Who’s Your Daddy?

Wayne Rink! That’s what Jennifer Garner playing the role of Jenna Rink said in the movie 13 Going on 30. I love this movie to pieces, it’s cute, light and has a happy ending. While I was drooling over Mark Ruffalo (yep, he’s the one playing the Hulk in the Avengers!) Jonas was busy checking the web on paternity tests which I think is weird.

On the other hand with the way he is with the womenfolk I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets around hence the need for the test.

Soothing Socks

I think the years of wearing stilettos have finally caught up with me. The lower back of my legs leading to the ankle hurts so bad after long walks. I found a soothing remedy called incredibrace which according to the reviews online help soothe aches and what not.

I am seriously thinking of getting a pair or two to wear when I go jogging or when I anticipate taking long walks.

Fairy Tales + Engagement Rings

I have always been a sucker for fairy tales and my favourite of all time is Beauty and the Beast. Now I was searching for rings (I find them very beautiful) and then I thought of fairy tales so I combined the search fairy tale engagement rings and boooom … look at what I found.

Looking at the design for Belle’s ring if its possible for me to love her story even more then this ring adds to it. It’s absolutely perfect that when I want to have a wedding (take note wedding only — not marriage) then this is the ring I would want.

A Chat Transcript ^_^

Aunt: You’re selling your books?!
Me: Yep!
Aunt: What happened to your dream of building a library?
Me: Nah, that got boring.
Aunt: You do realize you spent a lot of money collecting those books, right?
Me: Right, but it was your money, not mine … so that’s okay.
Aunt: Brat!
Me: You got it :)

Just another YM chat transcript! Nyahahahah

Looking for Leather Goodies

I was watching an episode on CSI Las Vegas where one of the suspects they were investigating turned out to be some sort of dominatrix who after a couple of episodes turned into a sex therapist. It was in this episode where I got a whole new insight on the words whip and leather, it was a nasty yet fascinating combination.

When I did a search for leather goodies I found a pink leather jacket which reminded me of bikers and big bikes. Have a look below:

It’s so girly yet at the same time is exudes a bad ass kind of aura. As I was going through several sites I found MyLeather.com for wholesale clothes and that gave wholesale clothes a whole new meaning.

When All You Have Is ….

Work? I am reminded about it again when I saw an episode of Supernatural where one of the hunters who died said that she is ready for some peace. When Bobby said he is not done yet she said well at least he has the boys while Annie only had work and that too is gone.

I first heard this line of thought when I was really young say 13 after watching an episode of Charmed where Phoebe’s boss at the newspaper said that she should not be ending up like her … well unto her 50′s with only her work to keep her company.

Back then I used to think that’s not so bad, I mean being on my own sounded like a pretty good thing at that time. Remember I was 13 back then …. with my whole life way ahead of mine.

After a decade my point of view has made a complete shift to the other side. I am beginning to see what I should have accepted a long time ago, no man is an island. That no matter how successful you are, how seemingly contented you are with your work, your finances, your relationship with friends, co-workers and relatives — coming home to an empty house after a day’s work is just downright depressing.

Loneliness is probably the equivalent of a long and dragging battle with cancer or a full blown AIDS only that it affects your heart and your soul. Now I understand why mum insisted that I should get married or at least have a child to provide meaning as to why I exist.

All these ramblings reminded me that I am getting old and that if I don’t want to end an old spinster sitting on a rocking chair waiting for the moons to come and go then I better do something about it.

VLC Player — the Best!

Who would have thought I’d be comfortable using a Chromebook after years of using a Windows based laptop. I do have a Macbook and I am still using so no problems there but a Chromebook is quite different as it is said to be based on a Linux. David just burned me a copy of all of the episodes of Justice League Unlimited and the moment I popped the DVD into my Macbook, it quickly launched Quick Time Player and I don’t like that.

I went and pop it into my pink laptop and it immediately opened vlc media player and I like it that way. The program opens just about any kind of format from .mkv (the format all of my anime files are in), .avi (the format most of my movies are in), not to mention it plays my audio CDs too. Best of all I haven’t had any problems with it at all.

Revisiting Game of Thrones

I finished season 1 of Game of Thrones some time last year and when season 2 started I didn’t watch it again immediately. I hate having to wait for the next episode to be available … so I did what I always do; wait till at least 10 episodes are available. This time though I realized I have forgotten what the story was about … I mean I cannot even name a single character from the series much less remember what happened during the first season. Damn! Sign of aging … thankfully the episodes I have downloaded from last year are still in my hard drive so I watched it again. I should be watching season 2 before the weekend.

Oh, Luci!

I haven’t been to church in …. ages. I have never been religious and though I believe in the Big Guy above I however do not believe in the middle men. Yes I am talking about the priests, pastors … whatever you call ‘em because first off they were men before they became the middlemen and so they like you and me are susceptible to sin and to the clutches of Luci.

I haven’t had a confession (the Catholic way) in 16 years … (counting with my fingers …) yep that’s right … 16 years. I mean I only had confessed my sins when I had my first communion. Seeing at a Church furniture posted on Facebook reminded me that I haven’t touched the surface of a pew in what seemed like forever. I can already hear the whirling thoughts of my neighbours that I am doomed for damnation and that the fiery pit of hell is waiting for me. Oh well … I most definitely prefer to be holding hands with Michael or Gabriel but if it’s Luci’s hand that I am leaning towards at the moment then I will spend the rest of my natural life working my ass off to lean the other way.

All Because of a Song

Have you heard of Seven Years by Saosin? Well if you have then you have got to be familiar with the instrumental versions of it. It’s because of this version that I found myself wanting to learn how to play the drums. I ended up chatting about it with a friend who told me he is currently in the market for some Pro Mark Drum Sticks. He also said that if I am interested I should attend one of their practice sessions, meet the rest of the guys in his band and pick up a thing or two about drum playing.

For the Ladies

I have been told time and again that if I ever as so much think about getting my sorry a$$ on a big bike I would be ensuring my left foot on the grave. *sigh*

Too damn bad you know since I have always been a huge fan of ladies on pink Harley’s and I think they are bloody hot and amazing.

Then you add a pink sparx motorcycle Helmets above then it’s a definite must have. While I was contemplating getting a motorcycle of my own, a friend of mine pointed out and said how can I even think of buying a motorcycle when I cannot even ride a bike.

Casual Sling Bag

I was looking for a casual sling bag or shoulder bag online, one that I could bring to school or when I go window shopping when I ran into a website called Dakine. I was actually thinking of getting either a Kipling or one from eBags but when I saw that bag above (Taylor-Meadow style) I was tempted to buy it. It also comes in light gray (see below) and I found myself liking both of them:

After about 15 minutes of searching through their site I found several Dakine Bookbags which are both cute and sturdy looking. However since they are backpack bags I opted to back and check the Taylor styles some more before deciding which one to go for.

Books — All Must Go

Sweet Valley Collection

I am in the process of selling all of my books and I do mean all of them. I’ve managed to sell quite a few already (close to 50 both hard bound and paper back) but I still have a lot and I do mean a lot left. My entire Sweet Valley collection is still up for grabs and I am debating how best to go about selling them. *sigh*

Corset & Lingerie?

Never thought of corsets to be lingeries, I mean when I think of corsets the first thing that comes to mind are those movies from 1400 where the women wore gowns with very stiff corsets making their waist really tiny. When I run into a site selling sexy corset lingerie I was surprised. LOL They’re very elegant and sexy I have to admit … there’s even a whole collection of pink in all shades. After seeing Elena or shall I say Katerina Petrova in a corset gown I have this impression they’re meant for petite women but the collection I saw on this site proved me wrong.

So Am Back to School …. Again!

I was told am crazy for going back to school at my age and I find that last part about my age downright annoying. Duh! At 26 there’s nothing wrong with going back to school … it’s not like am going back to finish my undergrad. Am taking my masters degree for crying out loud! I felt my mind has gone rusty in a span of a year and a half where I have stayed home and concentrated on work instead. The routine of my job (now that I have grown accustomed to it) has taken its toll and I felt I’ve gone “stupid”. A friend of mine actually said that am just exaggerating …

Took a break from all the studying and typing and ended up tinkering on my phone’s camera instead.

Pink Monster Beats

When I got my brand new HTC Sensation XE I was pleased to find out that it has Beats Audio installed in it. The sales lady actually told me that the unit was one of the limited Beats Edition and that it comes with original Monster Beats earphones. Honestly I would not know the difference between the original and the fake ones and I have to be honest there are a lots and lots of them around.

I searched the web earlier for pink dre headphones and found several results. Have a look at this one below:

Isn’t that just cute or what? Then I realized that there’s another variation on the headphones … on the one above the inner part is in black but I have seen several others where there inner portion is in white. See below:

Now which of the two looks a lot better? Honestly I cannot decide.

Pink Wndows 7 Wallpaper

I have found the perfect desktop wallpaper for both my pink netbook and pink laptop. It’s a Windows 7 logo on a pink backdrop designed by someone from deviantart. Have a look below:

- Designed by eddie09 @ deviantart -

Isn’t it lovely or what? I have always liked my desktop nice and clean so there are no icons showing just that wallpaper in all its glory.

Flowers …. Inside?

I didn’t really realize it till Aurora pointed out how dreary my place is and how she suggested the place would look cheerful if there were plants inside. Hmm … that sounds rather nice, maybe a small pot of roses to liven things up. She even went on and suggested hiring professional indoor planterss so they could give advise as to where to position the pots and what not. I nodded and promised her I would schedule an appointment and that the next time she visits the place would be a lot cheerful.

Flustered

I was just listening to the guys talking about random stuff when something caught my attention. They were talking about gadgets and such at one point and it was then when I tuned them out but when someone mentioned lovegra and then viagra I was stunned. I looked at them and when they saw me looking or shall I say staring Vince had the decency to look flustered when he saw me looking. I rolled my eyes and turned back to whatever it was I was doing trying to forget what it was that I have just heard.

Pink Musical Instruments

I was watching an episode of Glee where the club got new upright pianos in all shades of purple and it reminded me of someone who would die to have one in purple as well. I on the other hand would want a pink grand piano and a pink Stratocaster.

After a few hours of web surfing I found a web site that sells all sorts of musical instruments like Michael Kelly Mandolins and several others. They even got a pink violin in several colors and its bloody cute. Take a look at the pink instruments below:

Yoga Towel?

A friend of mine asked me via AIM last night if I could do her a huge favor and purchase something online. She does not have a credit card so she cannot shop online and so that’s where I come in. She has been talking nonstop about yogitoes and at first I thought it was something like Tostitos. Laugh all you want but they sound pretty much alike … LOL When I saw the item she wants I was surprised … so its not a food, huh!

@ Starbucks

@ Starbucks

Saturday night I found myself coercing Mitchy into joining me for dinner at Ayala. Since she was already at work she cannot take off and just go to Ayala and said I should go to IT Park instead. Okay fine! LOL So I went there and we ate at Chowabunga, God I miss their Katsudon. It must have been ages since I was last there and the place hasn’t changed much … no I take that back, it hasn’t changed at all. After dinner Mitchy went back to work while I went to Starbucks with the intention of working on my pending papers for school (I got four!). It used to be my old haunt … I got this favorite spot which was quite secluded and when I got there it was vacant, I was thankful.

After about 30 minutes of peace … a bunch of Koreans entered took the table across from mine and spent the next hour or so talking and laughing in a pretty loud voice it was bloody hard to concentrate. A little further away was a Med student who looked quite annoyed at the noise and it seems like I wasn’t the only one bothered by it. I used to be so good at tuning other people out but for that instance I wasn’t able to. I decided to go home instead … *sigh*.

Lesson learned … no more staying at Starbucks … gotta look for a secluded coffee shop somewhere.

I’m Back!!!!

A couple of years back I think in 2008 or was 2009 I hosted a blog contest in celebration of the blog creation. There were give aways from friends and one from me. At that time I think I gave out a cell phone dongle with my site’s name and logo on it. Now that I’m going to have some free to start blogging again I am thinking of giving away a personalized coin key holder which would have the site’s name and logo engraved on it.

I found a few companies that offer quite reasonable prices and I am getting more and more excited with this new prospect.

Team Delena (Damon + Elena)

Oh yeah! I found myself caught lured into Mystic Falls following the love and life of Elena Gilbert and her friends. I was bored one night and decided to download Vampire Diaries and find out what the fuss is all about. LOL. Never thought I’d get hooked … oh well I have Damon to blame his bad ass character and the way he rocked when he danced to the tune of “I Think We’re Alone Now”.

Renovation

Oliver was talking about renovating her family’s ancestral home in the province so she ended up doing research on quick step laminate and tile prices and several other things. She did not mention how much her budget is or how long she plans to get this renovation done but she seemed quite serious about it. We have been to her ancestral home a couple of years back and though it was really old it was homey. I cannot believe a lot has changed since then; the way Oliver described it seems like the place has wasted away.

Soooo Cute!

I never thought I’d ever find myself interested in yoga but when I saw this pink yoga mat I found myself thinking of freeing my schedule during the week and attend a yoga session. There’s one not too far from where I live and I think the pay per session is not that bad. Now what I need is to get myself this pink mat for a start and then convince Rose or RJ to join me.

Gong Xi Fa Cai

I promised myself a year ago I’d be in Taiwan or China by 2012′s Chinese New Year yet here I am days away from the celebration sitting at home like I did a year ago. Not much has changed but my resolve to do the things I want is stronger this year … when 2012 ends I’d be free, literally. So for now … let me greet you Gong Xi Fa Cai!
