dark cherry mocha It’s almost the end of spring break. I have accomplished nothing I set out to do. I’ve really done nothing except chill… and eat. A lot. The new Dark Cherry Mocha at Starbucks is heaven! I’ve always loved those Harry and David Bing Chocolate Cherries and this is the liquid version. I need to go get another one tomorrow.

smile you I picked up the cutest tee at H&M. I haven’t been there in a while cuz their stuff got boring the past few seasons but I like their trendy stuff this season. The maritime concept going around is really cute and reminds me a bit of SNSD’s ‘Gee’ from last year. Does this mean next year all the stores will have ‘cheerleader’ and ‘black’ concepts?

gee gee gee gee baby baby

cover me in petals I’ve been a little obessessed with nail polish lately. OPI always has such fun colors. I really wanna try their new Hong Kong line. The last one I bought was ‘Cover me in petals’ from their Sephora line. It’s a nice color but might be too loud to wear often. I also like to do a little bit of nail art with those striper brushes but I saw a woman on TVB the other day with crazy rhinestones glued all over her fake nails. How does she do anything with her hands without having her nails get in the way? It’s impractical and it just looks plain tacky.

The best news this week was the unexpected resurfacing of Jay Park! Even if it is only on youtube. The audio quality is a little off but he sounds and looks great as always. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of Jay until he left. Then I watched all of 2PM’s old Wild Bunny episodes and he was hilarious! Gosh, it makes me angry that JYP just decided to throw his talent away.

Is it me or does he kinda look like Jo Kwon here?

Side note- does anyone remember the old Halloween movie Hocus Pocus? I just found out that McGee from NCIS was Thackery Binx! I used to have such a crush on him when I was a kid, haha.

Apparently, I only blog twice a year. What a waste of $90 a year. I’ve been avoiding this most likely because I’ve gotten tired of writing about how shitty my life is. Law school has not been kind to me and it’ll only get worse for the next two years. So now I’ve decided to turn this into a ‘things I like’ blog. Time to be positive.

In anticipation of the Oscars this weekend, I’m posting my 5 favorite movies of last year. Please, please, please don’t let Avatar win for best picture! It deserves to win every technical award there is but how can anyone think it deserves best picture? Take away all the special effects and what do you have? Cheesy dialogue and a weak story about the ‘noble savage’ starring blue people instead of Native Americans. Maybe it’s the anthropologist in me, but perpetuation of these outdated stereotypes bug the hell out of me.
Up is by far my favorite movie last year. It almost feels too sophisticated to be a children’s movie. My favorite scene is when Carl flips through the scrapbook. You don’t need any special effects or any dialogue even to convey so much emotion. I would pick Up for best picture but seeing how it’s animated, it doesn’t stand a chance.

I put off watching Star Trek for a long time cuz I’ve never seen any of the original series and frankly don’t care much for sci-fi. But holy heck, Zachary Quinto as Spock alone makes this my second favorite movie of the year! It’s essentially a popcorn flick but then again so is Avatar. I think it also deserves a nom for best picture.

I like how (500) Days of Summer doesn’t retread the same old cliches. Like the movie itself says: it’s not a love story, it’s a story about love. That makes for a refreshing film. Some people find the ending cheesy, but I think it’s cute.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince deserves a spot here simply for being the darkest Harry Potter to date. Dumbledore! After seeing the movie, I had to read the next book, the only book I’ve ever read out of the entire series.

Okay, okay, I’ve been bashing Avatar but I have to admit it was entertaining. The visuals, if nothing else in the film, are breathtaking! And even if I don’t think Sam Worthington is an especially good actor, he does make good eyecandy.


I’ve recently been obsessed with J.Crew clothes. These are few things I bought last week. Most of their stuff, like this jacket that I really really want, is too expensive for my non-existent income but I love the styles. The colors are subtle but the details are distinctly feminine. I like how the clothes look casual without being sloppy.


In the midst of the all the 2PM Jaebeom drama (what is it that he did anyway?), I’ve found new k-pop to listen to after being obsessed with Wedding Dress. It’s none other than… 2AM! Seriously, these guys are good singers and their latest mini-album has some very catchy songs. Obviously Can’t Let You Go Even If I Die is really popular right now but my favorite track is Sorry I Can’t Smile For You.

I just spent a couple hours plugging this site on plugboards and I joined a couple of comment sites. I currently have no life, haha. But really, ms.com needs some new visitors. It’s been lonely for a couple of years now. I still think I’ll get a new domain when this one expires in January. I really, really, want a .nu site, but they’re so damn expensive. I’ve had this domain for about six years and it’s time to let it go. I turned twenty four days ago. Yep, I’m no longer a teenager. I feel that a new domain will express this change. I have a couple of names in mind, but I won’t tell anyone, lest they steal it!

So in the meantime, I’ll keep updating this site. I’m trying to find a pic of myself to put up on here. I’ve been looking through my facebook albums but it’s hard finding a good pic of me where I’m not drunk! I went to the mall with my friend today. She works at Bath and Body Works so she gets a 20% discount. She let me use it for this very shexy PINK robe. I got a new layout up for SAPPHIRE. Please, please, please visit!

Jack Sparrow and New Years

It’s 2007!! Happy New Year! :D I’m on break, relaxing at home. It feels so good to not have any school work to worry about. I can waste my entire day doing nothing if I want. I went out with friends last night. We went to a club for about two hours then a couple of them got bored and we spent the rest of the night watching Entourage. There was a guy at the club dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow counting down to the new year. He looked so much like Johnny Depp, only younger. The night wasn’t too eventful but fun nonetheless. I’ve been shopping like crazy since I got home. I have no money left. :( And I’m trying to save up for a trip to Europe this summer. I start working again when I get back to Boston. I don’t really want to go back. I want college to be over and real life to start. Anyway, I haven’t done much but shop lately. I saw The Holiday. It wasn’t bad but not too memorable. I watched POTC: Dead Man’s Chest for the first time last week and DAMN… Jack Sparrow… HOT! I totally get the sex appeal of Johnny Depp now. I haven’t made a lot of updates, I’ve been lazy. I got some brushes up on SAPPHIRE. The new year calls for a new layout, so expect one soon!
