it's been so long...hello again!

the optimist creed

By: Christian D. Larsen

I promise...

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

the man who can't be moved

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me...

I've recently fallen in love with The Script.

glitz and glamour

It's Thursday and you know what that means...

cooler than me

you got designer shades,

just to hide your face and

you wear them around like

you're cooler than me.

I love Joseph Vincent's cover of this song from the Ellen DeGeneres Show. *Faints*

life's natural highs:

* Falling in love
* A special glance
* Taking a drive on a pretty road
* Hearing your favorite song on the radio
* Lying in bed listening to the rain outside
* Giggling
* Having someone tell you that you're beautiful
* Friends
* Laughing at an inside joke
* Getting out of bed every morning and thanking

God for another beautiful day

take me to paris, france.

The city of lights and the fashion capital of the world. This destination will remain on the top of my list.

One day...

i wished for happiness

..and that's what I got.




Life could not feel anymore beautiful than this. Or could it? We'll see what the future holds for me.

"when one door of happiness closes, another one opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us..."
--Helen Keller

delicious treats

HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje ♥

The greatest gift I've bought this year. This lightweight mini will definitely come in handy since I'm always on the go. I love my new laptop! :)

inspiration : casual & sleek

In the mood to wear my classic white button-down with a loose tank top along with a long polished metal necklace or bracelet to top it off.

lazy sunday

This day is dedicated to those who are worn out from a busy week or simply just need a time out from life.

There's nothing like a little sunshine and sleep to make things better.

natural beauty

Natural beauty at its best.

I used to only believe in eyeliner + chapstick but I think I'm ready to experience the art of makeup.

day at the park

So relaxing..this is just what I needed to start off my week.

motivational monday

feeling floral

It's the perfect weather for blooming flowers, chiffon dresses, champagne picnics, and quiet moments in the afternoon. Oh, how I love springtime...

bows, flowers, & soft curls

Giving my hair the treatment it deserves. Testing out new hairstyles along with my current obsession of dressing up my hair by adding an embellished, bow, or rosette headband.

warm melting chocolate with ice cream

This will forever be my favorite dessert. A warm chocolate cake with a liquid chocolate center. Found at Applebee's, just ask for the Triple Chocolate Meltdown and I promise you that it will not disappoint your tastebuds.

spring break 2010

17 more days until the cruise.

happy valentine's day

"It is a risk to love.

What if it doesn't work out?

Ah, but what if it does."

Peter McWilliams

be happy; love life

the funny thing about life is that just when i start to lose hope..somehow, something manages to always bring me back up.

parisian love

Got this from Uyen. This makes my heart giggle. :P
