yahoo horoscopes always knows me so well

Your 'to do' list might be bigger than a phone book today, but you can't do it all by

yourself all in one day! So take it easy on yourself, and put some energy into figuring

out a way to delegate a few tasks, reschedule some meetings and push back a few

deadlines. Take yourself out of the running for 'perfect person of the year' -- the

title might be nice, but it isn't much fun earning it!

Requiring a little bit less of yourself enables you to succeed a whole lot more.

Damn it.

Don't you hate it when there is somebody you've got so much in common with, who you see yourself reflected in...yet whenever the opportunity rolls around and you're forced to talk to that person you just can't seem to be yourself... no matter how much you know about them, and besides the fact that there is so much you both enjoy and could easily spur up a conversation...you just. don't know how to start it.

It's like, gosh, I know for sure that we would be the best of friends...but damn it, I can never come up with something that I would usually say that's witty or funny...or interests us both. Even though I feel like I know you so well that I could.

Whenever I am around a person like that I completely just freeze up.


I'm not even talking about one person specifically. It just happens a lot. Damn it. Why is it that whenever I come across someone that I have so much in common with, and we're so damn PERFECT together,....no conversation will spur on my part.

They'll talk to me and make repeated efforts...but me? I draw a complete blank. WHY!?

God, please give me the gift of unawkwardness.

3 MOVIES TO WATCH:

In order of preference:


1) Confessions of a Shopaholic (in theatres 2/13/09)

2) Bride Wars (in theatres 1/9/09)

3) He's just not that into you (in theatres 2/6/09)

I've already read a "shopaholic" book by sophie kinsella... it was Can You Keep A Secret. It was unassailably good and I definitely could not put it down till I reached the very last word. And this movie looks jam-packed with fashion!! Yay.

The second and third movies on my list looks absolutely hilarious based on the trailers I've watched on moviefone.com


So I think I might actually spend money on a ticketstub in ohnine! Weird, because I absolutely HATE going to the movies. Now I must find who is worthy enough to accompany me to these movies..........hmmph. Especially the 1st one which is extra girly and fashion-y..which none of my friends are fashion-y so this might be a problem.

Maybe I'll go by myself? There are a plethora of perks to assisting with me, myeslf and i:

  • no one asking annoying questions
  • no room for obnoxious commentary
  • no one hogging the popcorn
Hmm.... going by myself is looking like a pretty good option right now..

Anyway, my point is that I am ECSTATIC for those 3 movies!! Eeeee!! I can't wait for them to come to HBO..must...watch...and...pay $8 bucks!

Grey & Black!

I love finding spare change in old winter jackets... (the light blue harve benard one my grandma bought me two winters ago)

I found *calculating* 19 cents! Not much but it was fun to hear the jingle of it in the pockets! A dime, a nickel and four pennies sounded like a lot more money when it was jingling ahhah oh welllllllllllllllllllllllll.


School tomorrow. I have a super cute outfit planned!

Grandma's grey thrifted cashmere wrap sweater
Sheer black blouse underneath
New vintage patterned mini skirt
New black & grey stockings
New hoop earrings (gift from abuela)

Dunno what shoes I'm wearing. Man, not gonna lie, with this frigid cold some black uggs would be PERFECT! I kinda want a pair. Damn me for craving UGGS. They're really convenient though. My daddy's gonna be so mad when he sees me walk out the door with ballet flats once again.

My boots are way too detailed! Not only do they not match with my outfit tomorrow but they're a bit excessive. I need simple boots that still complete the task of keeping my feet warm and cozy...Uggs. Damn.

Whatevs. Off to the shower I gooooooooooooooooooo!

PRE MED? NUH -UH

I still can't believe that after all this time of overanlyzing this career opportunity and learning numerous times that it is not my thing. (As cool as science is, it's never been a passion of mine) And looking at how freaking bored I get during Chemistry and how much I've dreaded the past 3 years of science classes...why the heck would I ever commit myself to studying a career in this?

The answer: to make my parents happy. That's why.

But it doesn't make me happy. After reading Cinamon and Coffee's blog (a med student herself) and seeing how her days as a med student go by with anatomy classes, biochemistry galore (barf), and copious amounts of memorization of medicinal equations I realize "I could never in a million years do that and like it."
The only part I'd like would be poking and prodding and the disection aspect of it. But that's not everyday. Realistically, it's more like...never.

So I must remind myself that words are my thing. (I scored 75% higher than my entire junior class in the writing section of the PSAT.) And thusforth I must do something I love.

I've actually heard of a lawyer that works in the fashion department...so that leaves me with a lingering speckle of hope that it would be possible for me to involucrate myself in the fashion arena while still have a promising career. (Law)

My grandma's always saying: Lawyer's don't ever make money. Well, bad lawyers don't. Obviously. Hopefully I'll be an excellent and highly successful one. That way I'd be able to give my parents everything and more that they gave me (which is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much)

Oh the ideas I'll actually tamper with (pre-med) just for my mom and dad.

I need to follow my passions. ANd although for the moment my only diehard passion is fashion... I don't see there being a bright career there. Plus, whatever would I study? I don't want to sew or be a designer or anything. I would just like to style and get paid to shop or something. Aka- impossible and I'd end up being dirt poor.

Man, I tell ya' ..... If I was assured that I could make a professional decision and know that I could not fail no matter what.... you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be hoppin on the Fashion Wagon.

For now...LAw is the prospective career. Let's see what career ideas I'll be tampering with in the near months. A couple months ago it was Journalism and now I'm disgusted with it. So let's see how far this law stuff goes.

It's beginning to look alot like my lazy christmas vacation days

The snow day on Friday set me out of tune making me think I had already commenced my holiday break.

I've been imitating a sloth (like the one in ICE AGE who was bffs with the mammoth) just lounging around the house aimlessly looking for unimportant things to do.

What I've done so far today:
  • Play old school playstation Crash Bandicoot (got to the second island after years of playing!)
  • Eat copious amounts of unhealthy, sugary foods
  • Drink an enormous mug of coffee
  • Document the snow day with my mom's Canon Camera
  • Write down some hilarious "wise" quotes my brother was telling me as we were playing Bandicoot. Some of these quotes included: "Never underestimate the element of surprise"
  • Comment a couple of blogs. Found some good ones.
  • Made my bed. IT'S MY GRANDMA'S DOING, I SAY!
  • Read my Old April 2007 Harper's Bazaar
  • Speaking of fashion magazines, I haven't received my TEEN VOGUE!!! GRRRR.
  • Got personal sewing lessons from Abuela (i had a moth hole in one of my favorite H&M scarf (the pink wavy one) I sewed it myself!

Damn, that actually seems like a lot. Hmm. WHen you actually stop to reflect back on your day it really is wrong to say "I did nothing."

You always do something.

The Epic Pine Cone Journey

LOL @ my mom sneaking in random scented pine cones all around the house.

I originally found one on my makeup dresser but I just looked over to my closet and spotted one on the floor.


They don't make much of a difference (scentedly speaking) but I feel like a little kid on an Easter Egg Hunt.

So I'm not complaining.
