I keep on running I keep on running but nothing works

My last day of work from a hectic week is finally over with. I am now going to to use this time to begin my break that started last month. Work hard, spend hard - also play hard.

RECAP FROM FRIDAY: I did make an effort to take some pictures, thank you very much. I started off the day by going to my old high school to see an assembly. I also chit chatted with the missed people there. I then had dim sum brunch with my boyfriend at Seafood Cove #2. Our bill came out to be a bit over 30$ due to his craving of walnut shrimp which was 16$ for the plate. Everything else that day became a blur to me. I apologize. I will edit this post with some pictures once I find my camera..

PLANS FOR THE DAY: If all goes well, I will be able to pick up my paycheck from work then head over to Baby's house to go to his friend's BBQ. After that I will be heading over to my 2nd mom's house for dinner with Jason. Looks like a beautiful day for me!

UPDATE ON SKIN: The rash is not visible, but I do have irritated spots here and there. The bumps aren't nearly as bad as before, but there are some popping up. But I'm a bit paranoid that it might have traveled down to the sides of my neck because I am feeling some roughness. I hope the future brings a brighter outlook for me..

XOXO

My next girl will be nothing like my ex girl

Over so much time if I think too hard
I might lose my mind"

It is approaching dawn and I seem to not have the energy to sleep. Ironic, yes I know. A bit of rambling, updates, and latest wants and finds will be featured in this blog post. Boring? I never said I was interesting.

UPDATE: As the new year is settling in, I already experienced some unfortunate events. I am prone to having allergic reactions due to the silliest things - cats, weather, stress, heat, pollen, cheap metal, etc. I usually break out into nasty hives, but some unclear reaction has started on my face, meaning a rash with irritating bumps that can be mistaken for as acne. I know I should keep in mind the phrase "beauty lies beneath the skin," but I was pretty darn miserable, not because of my looks, but the fact that I'm paranoid of every little thing I do, use, or eat might trigger a reaction. Worst part of it all is that I have no idea what's causing it. At first I thought it was due to a new moisturizer I used, but I went back to my daily routine and now it's coming back again. And to top it all off, my usual hives reactions are acting out of nowhere as well as overcoming a cold and now suffering from a dry cough too! Woe is me. These conditions caused me to be sad, irritated, and annoyed for the past few days/weeks. Not a good way starting off the new year.. But I am thankful for all the people who have been putting up with my frustration, or should I say my boyfriend, although I know they should not be excuses.

Besides my misfortunes, I do have good things to talk about! My close friend Jeric Rivera left for training in San Diego for the Marines earlier this week. I am so proud of him! I am anxious to see his change and progress in the next three months. Last week I celebrated my half year mark with my boyfriend, which is significant for me. It's a mental accomplishment for finally being able to be with a person who makes me happy from morning to night, day after day for this long so far. Although people see 6 months as nothing, it's true. These 6 months flew right threw me, but being in a adolescence stage of life where "new, change, choices, opportunities, etc." it is not a surprise to act upon given a short period of time. But nevermind that, I just wish for these 6 blissful months to accumulate into years.

FUTURE PLANS: After this busy hectic week is over with, I will be making the most of my final vacation week until school starts. Dinner dates with some lovely people are in store for me, mini road trip to San Diego to do some shopping and find good eats, LA for Baby's Bones Thugs and Harmony concert, working off the extra weight I put on before the new year started, and whatever else life throws at me. I'm excited!

GOODIES: I am guilty of doing therapeutic splurges. I scored on some tops/blouses, shorts, and a leopard print scarf. I am very attracted to tops with collared necks and sleeves or over-sized pieces. Maybe if Baby wants to carry around his gigantic camera around during our outtings I'll finally be able to post up some recent pictures, but chances on relying on me dragging around my camera are very slim. Hehe.

RANT: This week consisted of work work work work.. and more work. Due to the sold out capacity of the hotel, it requires me to put in more hours than I normally should, but in the long run: big paycheck with my name on it. I am tired and annoyed from working, but who isn't? I have two more days a head for me then I can finally rest up. Wish me luck.

I hope everyone is doing better with their new year. (=
XOXO

Happy new year lovebugs! As you can see by my inconsistent blog post manner, I am not very well at documenting. I am always on the go and the thought of dragging around a camera that will take up space doesn't appeal to me. Please forgive me. I will try to abuse my camera more often or even make my boyfriend abuse his for me. Maybe this could be one of my new year's resolution.. On a side note, the weather has been bipolar: from hot rays to frostbitten toes in a matter of days, let alone hours. But by the looks of my wardrobes at times, the weather doesn't phase me. Okay, I lied. Sometimes it does, but when an outfit comes to mind, I have the determination to make it come to life.

I had promised blogging about my goodies from Christmas which I originally wanted to take pictures of, but my laziness overpowered me. I'm going to take the cheap way out and just list them. From my immediate family: a leather laptop book bag, H&M light mauve ruffled shoulder sweater, rings, Aldo owl watch (my favorite watch ever!), Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer, zebra/cheetah scarf, Forever21 gift card and Nordstrom gift card. From my relatives: oatmeal/cream infinity scarf, beige workman boots (most comfortable!), Victoria Secret lotion and body wash, money and gift cards. From friends and boyfriend: off white and gold bag (so cute!), gift cards, MAC cosmetics, Nike Free Running Shoes, and scarves. I am extremely thankful for what I received this year and I'm very happy about it. Thank you!

Tips I learned from 2010:
1. Securely resew newly bought shirts with buttons to avoid missing buttons in the near future. (You will thank me when you don't have go to find a button matching all the others)
2. Victoria Secret hosiery aren't worth your money. (Easily catches runs and tears)
3. 2-inch heels are the way to go without the pain and suffering.
4. Don't take people for granted. Love and spend time with them like there is no tomorrow. Don't learn the hard way.
