Rewind

I have been quite busy... not really but I want to be. I spent my first week and a half watching 7 seasons of How I met Your Mother.


I guess I was on 9gag too much and had too much free time. Me and le bf loved the show and I watched it every free minute I had (which was most of the time). I really loved how the show was written and how the stories and themes come together through the seasons. Little bits of the mom is shown every season and teases the audience. How the character grows and changes as the year pass by. Did I mention I have a thing for analyzing literature? Anyways I love all the characters a lot and they grow on you. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Reminded me of Friends... which since I have the time, maybe I'll go watch that too.

I did do other things since I last updated~ I went out and saw my friends too!!! I tentatively secured housing in the East. Guess reality is slowly hitting and the packing will start soon. I think it would be exciting but still a bit scary. I started buying things that I might need there but only sold here. A mental list is building and I been having dreams about moving and forgetting things. sigh.

I did keep my Marc Jacobs bag and this is my 3rd from the brand. Finally caved in and got leather. I don't know why I'm attracted to the brand. I have watches, jewelry as well. I really loved how this bag is perfect for traveling or places with lots of people or walking a lot. It doesn't get in the way and I don't have to worry about someone stealing it. Although it's magnetic closure and easy to open. It does have an extra zipped up compartment for extra security. It doesn't hold a lot without feeling too heavy since it's leather but I really don't need that much and helps me be more organized.


So what's in my bag? I usually bring out a few more things if I have a bigger bag but these are necessity. Except the Nintendo DS and I have a bottle of water occasionally. My iPhone is missing because it was taking the picture. I been sticking a cardigan in the zipped compartment and still have room! 


I will start from the top left and clockwise.

1. Gucci sunglasses. I am obsessed with sunglasses and vow to have a collection of designer ones someday. Mainly becasue I wore glasses forever before I got contacts so I envy and lusted over sunglasses I never wore. They are plastic black ones with the logo on side. Baby bought it for Christmas or some holiday...

2. Coach wallet. I really want a long wallet but this one is sufficient for now. I bought it at the factory store last year. It matches the bag

3. Chargers. The thing I hate about iPhone is battery life. The car one doesn't work that well but will do if it's an emergency. I recently cracked my iPhone and need to fix it cuz $200 to replace it is crazy! When is the 5 coming out!?

4. L'occitane lotion. I don't find it great or bad. But I have like 10 bottles lying around. (Thanks to friends, free ones and self bought) It's convenient size and a little goes a long way.

5. Revlon lipstick, Burt bee grapefruit lip balm, Aquafina lip balm. I have a thing for lips. Try very hard not to ever forget them. I hate having chapped lips!!  I have the softlips too since it has SPF. Got to protect them from the sun. Honestly, it's a must have on a daily basis. The lips need attention or will look like crap and is easily sun damage. My lip balm collection is huge. If you don't have it handy and lying around, you won't use it.

6. Eye drops. I wear contacts too long and I have allergies so I carry them around to refresh them. I really like the Rhoto brand as well. It's so minty refreshing!

7. Nintendo DS. I haven't touched it in awhile since I been entertained. I play when I'm bored obviously. I usually just need my iPhone but the battery sucks so I have backup?

8.  Mint. I try to bring some candy. You never know when you need sugar! (Even though it's fake sugar) I stopped eating gum ever since I learn it works out the jaw muscles and make it look huge!

9. Coach card holder(?) and keys. I bought the coach thing to hold cash/credit cards when I use my small clutch bags but on regular days, it holds gift cards, membership cards, discount cards etc. I also hooked my keys. (The kitty hides a key too!) I need something big to hold my keys. Who hasn't lost their key in their bag before? I still cannot find my keys with that thing on it -___- I need a bigger key chain.

10. Pen. I try to bring a pen out in case I need to write down stuff like a number or address. I know cell phones can do it too but I find i faster to just write. I usually have receipts in my wallet so I have paper too!

Other junk I may have..... band-aids, hand sanitizer, more lip products, kindle, camera, coin bag.. Oh and ADVIL. That's what's missing!!! I have so many bottles of Advil it's annoying. I hate when I forget to bring Advil. The day I forget, is the day I NEED it. I have terrible cramps. I think almost every single one of my bags have an Advil bottle since I keep buying them. My bf ended up keeping a bottle in his car which is a lifesaver.



So about my shopping... I've been good, haven't bought anything.... except a DSLR. I still don't know if it's a good buy. I bought the Nikon D5100. It's still a good deal with freebies from amazon but since the Canon T4i came out, the T2i and T3i will slowly go on sale. I would probably save $100 or more in the process.... Just taxes in CA is a bitch. I been using Canon so the jump to Nikon is... new. There's always the "upgrade" and it's a pet peeve for me to buy something that goes on sale few weeks later. UGH. I can always return the Nikon since I don't need a camera yet but I know if I don't buy it, I will not jump on it for awhile. I really want to take some nice pictures before I go and when I travel :)


Well see.... sigh it's a long but short summer.
