Wouldn't it be nice to have a place outside the city to call home?

Finally bought myself a pair after I got a message from the store saying my size was back in stock! Also got myself cheap silver flats before these got delivered, haha. EQ, what's that? Then I read this article on Refinery29 about The New Neutrals. I'm happy to report that pale pink and silver are part of the list! Nuks.

Baked cupcakes for my friend Mikko's family. Piped Cream Cheese frosting roses on Red Velvet and Kahlua cupcakes. And topped S'mores cupcakes with Marshmallow frosting. If you're curious about them, hop on over to my Page on Facebook!


Wishful Wednesday

Praying for all those who lost someone this year. Death isnever easy, but I know it's even more difficult to deal with at this time. I pray and hope for peace in your hearts and for love to surround you in all possible ways.


Thoughtful Thursday

I've been using the same planner for the past 2 years and I finally got one for 2012! I  absolutely fell in love with my first Hanna Werning teNeues planner that I've stuck to it for 3 years and counting. Here's to making plans happen in the coming year. I'm so excited for all the adventures!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

I was supposed to meet up with my friends this morning to go on a trip to Divisoria, but Jenn got a migraine last night so we had to cancel. So I asked the rest of my barkada if they were still up to watching Babae sa Septic Tank today. There were also plans of Kinect and lazing around with Kaich and Patty, but I don't think that's pushing through either.

So from so many plans, I am down to no plans. And that's alright, because I'm in the middle of reading 3 books (it's a mystery I haven't mixed up the characters of Sisterhood Everlasting, One Day, and Before Ever After). I also just finished "working," scheduling 3 days worth of Facebook posts (I really do love HootSuite). Just one more event tonight for work (My Fitness Pal won't be too happy) and hello, weekend.

Scenes from the week that was:

Eager Beaver, 2011 Edition

Most people were dreading their first day back at work. I was mostly bummed at the fact that I couldn't use the computer while lying on my tummy. Work never really feels like work for me because I do practically the same thing on vacation: surf! The only difference is, I actually upload stories online at work.

But that's not the point of my entry. I just want to show you another reason why I was so excited to go back to work: my new office supplies!


Goodies from my birthday and Christmas. I love that my friends are equally obsessed with paper products and office supplies. The Candy Girls gave me my second Teneues planner by Hanna Werning. They were worried I wouldn't like the zebras, but I actually do! Last year's planner had bunnies and deer. (: My former boss Ines gave me the dolphin paper clips (so cute!). The sticky notes set is from Mark♥Barb. I love it! I was thinking of getting myself another design when we went to National Bookstore's Work Station launch but I'm glad I didn't because this pattern is so me! Thank you!


I got these cutesy sticky notes on a trip to Fully Booked with the Candy Girls. Hee. I have another Parisian-themed set but I thought these animals went perfectly with my planner. Donchathink?


How cute is my new mousepad??? Thank you, Margs!!! (: When I opened it, I let out a squeal. She wasn't kidding when she kept asking me to open it already because she said it was so me. Also, her gift had a bunch of sticky notes, too. (There are so many more I got that are not pictured here!) What I'm going to do with all these notes, IDK. But expect a note from me soon! d:


Here's my planner finally broken in: my first, uh, plan for the year. And I'm using a pen now instead of pencil because wala lang. That way deadlines, dates, plans are final because using white out is just going to make my planner ugly.

I can't wait to make plans for 2011!
