Uncertain...

of where this blog is going. It's been so long since I've last updated. I've grown lazy and unmotivated. To be honest, I don't see the point of updating sometimes. Who cares? What's the point? Why?

I use to love blogging, sharing my ideas, getting feedback, etc, etc. But those days seem like ages ago. Well, I shouldn't say "use to love blogging" because I still do blog, just not on blogger anymore. I've moved on to tumblr because it is SO MUCH EASIER TO USE, as it is cell phone friendly. :) Nowadays I can't stand sitting in front of the computer for long hours. My interests are now heavily invested in physical extracurricular activities. I still do little projects once awhile and I of course still do nail art. Besides, my digital camera is almost dead and obsolete and my phone doesn't suffice as a reliable photography source (doesn't have flash, go figure). I have been doing research and saving up for a new digital camera- something easy to travel with and takes great pictures.

I have been thinking about officially shutting this down yet at the same time, I feel as if I shouldn't...so I am uncertain at this point. Might update, might not. Who knows...still up in the air...

Time waits for no one...

It has been almost month since I last updated. My how time flies. I've been working a lot. I have so many things to post but I've gotten so lazy....I'm at work right now. But I will be back to update! Just wanted to let all of you know I am still alive! :)

Yea or Nay?

So I've been contemplating whether I should invest in a gorgeous Cambridge Satchel. I saw it on the adorable little Dakota Fanning in the movie Uptown Girls. I like the vintage and unique look it carries. I've got my eye set on brown, yellow or red.

What do you think? Yea or Nay?

What I've been up to & The Getty Center!

I've been away from blog world for several reasons:

• haven't been online for awhile
  
• not much inspiration lately
• constantly tired from work
• been cleaning/organizing my room since my sister moved
  
• been working out trying to get back to my previous fitness level since this past school year
  
• I've been watching The Tudors which I'm totally addicted to b/c of the drama (for those of you that watch it) and I enjoy history in general :)
  

But don't worry! After getting inspiration from my muses (blogs that I read) I'm starting to slowly become inspired again. Due to a messy room, that is stopping me from working on projects. :(

My intended plans post-college life are:

• have fun & enjoy my summer :)
• finish cleaning/organizing my room so it will 100% Alice :D
• work for a year: part-time job, TA-ing and doing research for professors back at my university
• then graduate school, hopefully a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW and possibly LMSW! :D)
  

Anyways, on the brighter side, I would like to thank 'Chelle from Cosmetic Cupcake who awarded me with the Stylish Blogger Award. :) Thank you 'Chelle, you're so sweet! :)

I leave you with pictures from the Getty Center (which is one of my favorite places now) from our 6 years anniversary with Kevin. :)

Currently Fancying: Red

I guess I'm back but not really at the same time. I still have tons of things to do and since I'm on a "break" right now from school work. I thought, "hey, why not sneak in a post?" So here I am before you posting away. It seems strange because I haven't updated in awhile. I've gotten out of the habit you can say. So it's weird getting back into it. Anyways, I don't have time to do any projects so bad news there. But I have TONS of ideas for new projects coming your way in Summer 2010, so stay tuned! :)

Red has never been a color of my choice, but lately it has grown on me quite a bit. Even to the point where I even dyed my hair red! But it's non-permanent because I wasn't daring enough. However, to my surprise the color came out quite lovely. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it because it's only noticeable in the sunlight. But, I've posted some pictures of my lovely red things.

Of course, they were embellished with creations from the lovely Katrina. I swear, I can never get enough of her wonderful freebies!







Netbook: Asus
Shoes: Cole Haan

Thanks Katrina!

I think I'll be on small hiatus for now...

My school work is starting to catch up on me. I have a proposal to write for an experiment that my group members are going to be conducting for the next two weeks or so. I know I'm going to be super busy and on top of that I have tons of reading to do. It's going to be my last quarter, so I'm going to do my best.

Don't know when I'll be back, hey...I might even sneak in a post or two...just been so busy. :(

I kid you not

No seriously, who wants to shop at T Sh*t Factory?

Project: Bunny Coin Purse & Cute Stuff

Today was my "official" last day of class before I start hitting the books for finals. I've been anticipating for this day since the first day of the quarter started, but now it seems so surreal. After my last final is when I can officially relax and enjoy my one week of freedom until I'm tied back to the ol' ball and chain of school life. I've been stressed out all quarter with my minimal sleep, nervous breakdowns and excessive studying. I swear, this has been my most hardest and most stressful quarter since I started the college student life. It will only get harder from here but then I'll be done with my undergraduate studies! Finally! :)

Anyways, on the lighter side. I wanted to post a mini project that I completed a while ago, but never took the time to post it. I only have one picture of it as I gave it away as a gift for a friend.



Materials: felt, sewing machine and sewing needle, sew on zippers (I have no idea what they are called but you can buy them at JoAnn's or Walmart), heart key ring, fabric marker to indicate where to sew the eyes and mouth

I got the idea from Arazani Aronzo's Cute Stuff. I swear, this is the cutest step by step craft book I've ever come across. The retail price is $14.99 but you can buy it off Amazon for only $10.17! That's a total savings of $4.78 (21%)! I'm totally advertising for them. In reality, you're not really saving much because you have to consider shipping and handling which is $3.99 so technically you're not saving much anyway. However, I highly recommend this book if you're ever bored and want something cute to make. The down side to this is that you need a sewing machine unless you have the patience to sit there and hand sew everything. It makes me smile whenever I flip through the pages.

RIP: Apricot

You will always be remembered.

Officially Established

Yes, I painstakingly (not really) moved all my blog posts from wordpress to my new blog here. Not like I had a lot of posts to begin with anyway!

Please be aware, that it's still in the works, but I'm through with the anticipation because I want to start posting some of the random crap I've been working on and doing. Class is about to start in 10 minutes so I have to keep this post short.

enjoy!

<3

to be continued...

A new year, calls for new things?

Okay, so I know I've been neglecting my blog..AGAIN...that's nothing new. But I'm starting to reconsider this blog...

There are so many ideas that I want to implement, but I've been so busy, tired and sick now that school has started. So, I probably won't be updating as often because I'm thinking about switching over to blogspot just because it's so user friendly, but I don't know yet. We'll how well I can manage my time...

Christmas--Update!!! :))))))))

Okay, so I also decided to post what I made for Christmas too! Mmm cheeeseeeecakkkeee. :P

Update from my Blackberry w/ Domo Kun!

So I just discovered that wordpress has an application for blackberrys. I knew that I just had download it. Now it would be easier for me to update since I'm usually on the go anyway. But it is a pain to be typing on this tiny keyboard.
So I just found out that 7-11 is having a new promotion starring Domo-Kun! I've always liked this little guy since 8th grade. So it's sad to see that he's everywhere now. But I still like him! So I ran down to the local 7-11 and purchased several items. I have yet to find the slurpee cups though...

Energy drink, coffee cup and yes! A usb flash drive! :)

Busy, Busy Bee

I know it has been a while since I've last posted. I've been really busy with school and work. Since I'm occupied with school, I don't have time nor do I have the motivation to start on new projects. I have tons of uncompleted articles of clothing from the summer...and now my sewing machine is collecting dust. It's such a sad sight to see.

I'm getting ready to graduate by June of 2010 so I need to work my butt off and get the heck out of college--so I can move on with my life, relax and work for a year, buy a new car, go to graduate school to pursue my Ph.D.

From my last update: SF was super fun! I loved every single moment of it! I also took lots of photos which I'm not sure when I'll ever get to posting due to my busy and somewhat tiring life at the moment.

Wicked was really awesome. I left knowing my money was well spent. :) I was literally obsessed for weeks--and yes I got the whole soundtrack as well. Although I was somewhat disappointed with the King Tut exhibition...I was hoping I'd get to see a mummy. But the artifacts and treasures were absolutely stunning.

I'm tired now and must get back to studying...studying on a Friday night??? Sad....I know. :(

A Proper Introduction

Okay so I wasn't able to post anything until...now. I've been super busy with school and work. After my spring quarter ended, I decided to take summer session at a nearby community college. I wasn't able to work on this project blog until now. Now that I'm finished with summer school I have free time to explore my creativity!

So, time for a proper introduction...

I’ve decided to create a blog dedicated to my personal work and projects (creations, reconstructions, photos, designs, etc) to share with the world. I want to get feedback, suggestions, advice and ideas on how I can improve.

My ultimate goal is to open my own e-boutique. However, I don’t have the confidence or skills to do that yet. So I will post my creations in my blog for the meantime.

Criticisms are welcome. :)

First Post!

I've decided to start portfolio/craft blog to store all my ideas, creations, photos, artwork, writings and anything else I can think of. I will be posting something shortly...hopefully.

I am writing a research paper for class, so we'll see how that goes.
