well, hello november.

one more month until the end of 2010. it's crazy just thinking about it. how did time fly by so quickly? it always scares me knowing that when it comes to time, it really is out of our hands. sometimes you plan so many things that you want to do but never get around to doing it.

what i did get around to doing is.. getting new home slippers! from muji :) my old one was getting really worn out. i also like the color change as well.

i guess it comes down to doing the simple things that needs to be done, the simple everyday life goals. it's better than not doing anything at all, right?

what are your plans for november?

a reminder for the weekend.

sometimes you just need to have the courage to say what you need to say. especially if that's how you truly feel. in the end, i think it all comes down to honesty.

wah inspired nails.

surprisingly, this lasts me longer than i thought it would. i was getting paranoid that maybe the crystals will fall off but they didn't! the base color is tickle my france-y by opi, my most favorite nude color ever.

if you have not visited wah-nails before, i highly suggest you do. now!

a new experiment.

here i go again.. as always. once i get bored with one way of doing something, i try something new. and this is it. what do you think? yay or nay? personally, i quite like it. i might create more and experiment more with it.

the quote really gets to me though. pretty much explains my life, in a way.

oh and yes, i do drink my coffee with straws these days. i don't want it staining my teeth!

classic fall meal.

tomato soup and grilled cheese (not pictured) is probably one of my most favorite meal ever. the simplicity of it all and yet it's oh-so yum at the same time. what's your classic fall meal?

ps. this is what i mean when i say that i can't use glitzerland by opi on all my fingers. i usually use them on one or the most, two fingers because it's quite "bling" for my liking. also, i am loving floral leggings to sleep in..

anyways, i should be posting more doodles here but i haven't had the time to create new ones yet.. so i'm sorry if it's boring to see random phone photos :( i'm working on it.

an obvious pattern.

aside from the doodles, food and coffee photos that i post on the blog.. there's two other things that are making its way frequently here: rings and nail polish.

i think i have been on the search for a perfect gray polish for such a long time until this came along. it's kinda perfect. not too dark and not too light. the first photo is with natural lighting and the second one is with indoor lighting.

also, now you can see how the elizabeth and james ring looks like, worn on my finger. it's pretty effortless which i like. and the subtle gold makes it really pretty.

i haven't asked this in a while.. but what colors are on your nails at the moment?

random.

i think i drew this on a good day which turned into an incredibly bad day.. you know those kinds of days? they suck. but they happen. and all you can do is look on the brighter side of things.

i didn't mean to make this into a depressing post. i hope it isn't :)

new treats.

an elizabeth & james ring. and some opi nail polishes. from left to right: lucerne-tainly look marvelous, you don't know jacques in suede and glitzerland.

the ring is nice and simple. i'll post a photo of it on my finger soon. and the nail polishes are very glittery. i haven't managed to wear them on my complete 10 nails except for the suede one because the colors are way too much for me.

have you been getting some new treats recently?

back to the phone photos routine.

i like the smell of frangipani, which is also apparently called plumeria. i like coming across good quotes from magazines, this was from teen vogue. i like big breakfast meals. and finally, i love love virgin mojitos.

what are you liking, these days?

ps. thank you so much for the sweet comments! it's so nice of you guys.. and i feel like i just came home from a holiday with all those "welcome-back" greetings :) you guys made my day.

and i'm back again.

hi guys! i hope there's still people out there reading this, if not.. i guess that's okay too. but i just wanted to say that i'm back to blogging again. i have missed it and i have not seen my blog-post edit page for the longest time ever!

actually, it hasn't even been a complete month.. but it has been a pretty long month for me, this october..

anyways, many things happened while i was away. in short, i am now refreshed with a new perspective on life and i hope to blog as often as i used to :)

ps. the quote below is from the film, crazy/beautiful.

absence.

i'm really sorry that i haven't been blogging these days. life is in the way. and i'm trying my very best to get back on it again.. but i think this break will be a good one. for me. i hope you can understand.
