She listened to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by She and Him

My Christmas Dream List

It's already December and I figured that it's about time that I wrote down my dream list. It's a list of things that I dream of getting for Christmas. I jotted these items down without any budget in mind, obviously. Hey, a girl can dream right?

1. A Balenciaga Bag - I've been lemming for one for years. I blame the Olsen twins for this one.
   
   
2. Tory Burch Hinged Logo Bracelets - These are actually attainable but, I'm still thinking about it. They'll surely make a great add on to my accessories.
   
   
3. Nike x Liberty Sky High Dunks - I don't know why I want a pair of these, really. I don't even know how to incorporate these into my style. Regardless, I still dream of this pair.
   
   
   
4. Miss Saigon West End Tickets (much too early for this since they're still casting!) + tickets to London town with hotel accomodation and allowance!

What's on your Christmas Dream List? 

Remember, there are no rules, limits or exceptions! 

Just go for it!

NOTD: Orly Gel FX in Lift the Veil

After application

After 5 days!

Last Friday, someone from Orly dropped by my salon to do a demo of Orly Gel FX. I have been wanting to try gel nail polish for a while now but I was always turned off by the price. Lucky for me, I got to have my nails done for free during the demo.

She bought Hunter boots.

Fresh from the Balikbayan boxes

She listened to Dominique by Sœur Sourire

Don't even ask how this song perks me up. Perhaps I need to check myself in Briarcliff?

Sing with me:

Dominique -inique -inique s'en allait tout simplement,Routier, pauvre et chantant.En tous chemins, en tous lieux,Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu,Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu.

She listened to Paradise Circus by Massive Attack

I love Mazzy Star and when I heard Hope Sandoval's voice on this track, I knew it would be a perfect add to my music library.

Share with me your current songs! I'm always happy to add some new music on my iPod!

She bought Lego Minifigures.

My boyfriend and I have a project and it involves collecting different Lego Minifigures, or Collectable Minifigures. Lego first released them around 2010. Lego comes out with 16 different figures to make up a set or a series, as they call it. The latest release is Series 8 and it came out sometime September. They are sold separately and if you're ready and willing, collect every single figure.

NOTD: China Glaze's For Audrey

One of my favorite polishes, because let's face it, every girl loves Tiffany blue.

Have a happy week ahead, loves!

Rainy Day Non-Blues

After several days of crazy sunshine, it's pouring outside. I've always liked the rain and I'm not one to complain when it does (albeit, times when I am outside sans an umbrella). Everybody knows that the best way to deal with a rain day is to stay indoors. The rain just makes you feel very lazy and does not put you in the mood to go out and do something important or life-changing. Personally, I like to spend my rainy days on a comfy couch in front of the telly to catch up on the latest episodes of my favorite TV series or read a good book, with a cup of hot chocolate. Sounds like a good day to me, don't you think?

NOTD: OPI's My Address is Hollywood

Next to makeup, nail polish is a love of mine. Seeing my nails all pretty and painted makes me a happy girl. It's one of those simple pleasures that I like to indulge in. I usually buy nail polish when I'm out of the country because OPI is not readily available in Manila and if it is, the choices are limited.



I'm not one to follow the trends of what colors are hot, instead, I choose the colors based on my mood. In this case, I was in a really good mood. I had my nails done yesterday and although it was the last day of the long weekend, I did not let that dampen my mood.

This color is so cute. It's pink but not too pink. It has a slight shimmer and you can see the glitter if you look real close. Just like any OPI polish, you can really do without the top coat because it's already shiny as is. I just use top coat to make it last longer (though with my luck, it will stay chip-free for another day or two.)

Happy Monday everyone! Hope the long weekend hangover wasn't too much to handle!

She watched Like Crazy

I thought I understood it. But I didn't, not really.  Only the smudgeness of it.  The eagerness of it.  The idea of it of.  The you and me.

After watching thetrailer for the upcoming movie for The Hunger Games, I did my research onJennifer Lawrence.  On her IMDB profile, it mentioned that she was in the movie, Like Crazy.  I have seen the trailer for this movie but never had the chance to watch it in the cinema (if it was even released here in Manila).  Since I currently have way too much time on my hands because I still don’t have work, I downloaded the movie.

She read The Hunger Games Trilogy

One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2012 is to rekindle my love for books.  For much of 2011, I barely read any and I wanted that habit to not continue into this year.  I’m proud to say that I’ve already made progress with this resolution of mine.  I’ve managed to read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire; I finished reading both books in 2 days.  I’m still reading the final installment, Mockingjay and I’ll explain later why it’s taken me so long to finish.  I’ve known these books have been out for ages but I never really thought to read them because it wasn't really something that I would read.  It's only fairly recently that I thought about giving it a go.

Paulo Coelho's Manual for Conserving Paths 2012

I grabbed this from Paulo Coelho's blog.  It's the same one that he posted a year ago but I think it still applies to us in 2012.  Happy reading and be inspired!
