Hey! Barely a day and I'm blogging again. A giveaway caught my eye! Tisha of Here, Tishie Tishie has a great giveaway in store for us with her Anniversary Giveaway: Cocomo Swimsuits which is totally awesome! I haven't participated in any giveaway for the mean time but this is a good chance for anyone who wants to win a really cute swimsuit! First off I'm not the AHH-TOO-SEXAY-FOR-MY-SWIMWEAR kind of girl. I'm rather conservative, opting to wear swimsuit topped with a big, breezy shirt or with shorts. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of swimsuit at all. Just one, but recently, I bought a simple navy blue one piece to go to a company outing (WHICH WAS AMMAZING-We went to Pearl Farm Beach Resort!) I'm wearing the swimsuit here, lovingly termed by otaku (like myself) as a "Mizugi", which pertains to the standard-issue swimsuit given to Japanese highschool girls. I even put my own nameplate on it!!!! On my chest I sewed on a small fabric with my name, AIC...

This must be my punishment for letting my blog go... I've also let myself go! What started as something I wanted for myself (a healthier me), I now want to rid myself of! 2 months ago I started the quest to gain weight. I honestly thought that at 97-99lbs, I needed to add a bit because a double digit weight is kind of worrying. Though I'm only 5'1", most poeple would say that the 97 lbs is okay for me since I'm small, but I'm not very comfortable with it, and I don't want to give the appearance of weakness or being frail at all. I want to look and feel healthy and active at a normal 100-105 bracket at least. That's not bad to want, is it? It is stull under normal weight range. It started out manageable, but I guess I kind of lost focus for a bit. What I ate were chocolates. I LOVE CHOCOLATES. I cannot put into text how much I love them, but the pictures below will show you. So everyday in the office I ate a lot: Aaargh! And so many more chocolates tha...

Whenever I feel lonely or sad, or just generally down or uninspired, I always try to find things to cheer me up. If I'm not feeling too good about myself, I go to Google Images and search about clouds, puppies, small birds and flowers. Recently now, I have been saving a lot more images of flowers than anything... I have a folder called "Inspiration" full of the beautiful blossoms you see below! Looking at the pastel color of the pink roses always calms me down and most of all makes me smile! Maybe one day I will go to the market to see some really nice daisies and white and red roses plus those adorable baby breath blossoms. I would especially like it if I can see some real nice pink ones. I think flowers make me think that everything will be OK. Work is getting to me, I guess. I'm tired most of the time but at the same time I'm really psyched about it. I also want to work part time, but I have a strange feeling I will not be 100% on either work if I do, which is ...

I'm turning a new leaf with House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielwski Review and quotes to follow-- I'm just about to finish the book! :)

Do you love oranges? Because gosh, I sure do. :) In fact, I just ate one last night! Greencross * bought like 4 oranges to share with our friends, but we might have gobbled it all by ourselves. Maybe. Don't tell them. Another thing I LOVE is Orange Juice! But I hate powered ones with a passion . They're just too fake for my taste. I hate the powder that gets on the counter when you pour it into a jar, and the icky way some powder are left at the bottom of the pitcher no matter how many stirs you make. Luckily, bottled orange juice was invented. I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... I will still give it a try. I may be just one of those that will try a healthier alternative to the usual softdrinks. To my surprise it tastes exactly like a fresh orange squeeze! It's cold, it's refreshing and it tastes fantastic! I didn’t believe it the first time ...

Hi friends! Oh how I've missed the blogosphere! I haven't been so active as I'd like lately... More like since July, right? Many things have just been going on like a great jump up at work, more family time and a lot of going on with my friends which were such a blaaast! I love spending time with my friends, even though all of them may be guys. :D It's always so carefee and funny with them. There are also some parts of 2010 that's sad but now pretty negligible (hahaha): I went though a break up with the guy I was seeing for more than 5 years. I've blogged about him and me a couple of times in this blog too, so I'm trying to just take those posts down and delete them. WELL! EQUAL PARTS SUCKY AND AWESOME FOR 2010! Whoever could have guessed all those things happened! I DESERVE A GOOD R&R!!!! How sweet is the smell of this? Aweeesome! Lol! ONE QUESTION: You remove the cellophane thingy for this right? It's my first time with a My Beauty Diary Mask so I ...
