OOTD and New Banner!

With a new season coming along, it was time for a new banner! I love these trousers for spring weather that will keep you cool because of the thin fabric and loose material! It absolutely looks incredible with any plain or graphic tee. Then you can dress it up with a denim jacket or vest like how I paired it in my outfit!

I am really excited for this upcoming weekend because I'll get to see Big Sean and Tyga in concert! I've never been to a real concert so this will be my first one.

I've been struggling with my fall semester schedule. I'm not sure if I want to try to minor in Italian. I have 4 years of Italian already under my belt and I just wish I could use it because I do genuinely love the language, culture, food, fashion, and people. I hope to visit one day and I want to be able to be confident in the way I can speak Italian. Not necessarily for the benefit of having a language for the workforce but merely for my own personal gain. I love the sound of the language and even though it was a boring class to get through during high school, I still found it interesting. I hope that it all works out in the end even if it means to just take classes to just expand my knowledge without an official resume name for my advances.

This week in college, it was housing week. It was a difficult path til this week. My future roommate and I were at odds with each other because we disagreed on which residential area. But in the end, it all worked out and I cannot wait to escape my current housing situation. Next year looks like it's going to be a tolerable and fun year in terms of living.

On my recent countdown it is 28 days until my last final and only 15 more days of classes! This fast sprint til the end is proving its speed. But I can't wait until the end. I'll finally to see all my friends who I haven't seen and really spent time in a LONG while and get to see Mark. The thoughts make me anxious! The days need to go by quicker because a carefree summer just sounds better and better as each day goes by!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter! This Easter is kind of weird for me because I usually spend this holiday with family but this year I'm spending it away at school. This week at school has been absolutely ridiculous! I have been stressed out and so busy especially since I hardly did any homework in preparation over spring break. But I was so relieved once this week was over with and I had the weekend to relax. I spent the weekend hanging out and catching up on sleep more or less. I already miss being home because I hate being in this routine for school because of how I stressed I get and I never have enough time to just recover and escape it. But I only have 5 more weeks of school and then I'm out for the summer!

A snack I have also been loving are these Darrel lea's soft chew licorice. They are so delicious that I had to try every flavor! My favorite has to be strawberry flavor by far! You can buy these at Target, Whole Foods, Shop Rite, or even Rite Aid!

Spring Trends for Tops!

Today was incredibly tiring! I spent majority of my day traveling and unpacking. I woke up early to head to school and then I spent a lot of time settling back into my dorm. I tried to do homework but it was just impossible. I spent time catching up with people and hanging out. Tomorrow is going to be a slap to the face because it'll be the first day back after spring break. I am absolutely not looking forward to it. This week is already a bad week as it is with scheduling appointments on top of tests and midterms.

Anyways! With the warm weather slowly but surely approaching it's time to update our wardrobes! There are three styles I'm looking into this spring and summer. I love the tailored look so collars are always a plus. I love this black and white patterned tank with gold button detailing with a collar. It's perfect in the professional world in the summer time and also the perfect top to make casual pants a bit more dressy! I also  try not to neglect simple, graphic tee's. Although it is senseless to buy these shirts at Forever 21 because you can definitely get it for cheaper at your local thrift store and make it to how you like it. Last summer I was very into coral tops but this summer I'm attracted to mint hues more. I can't wait for the warm weather so I can start wearing these babies!

End of Spring Break!


Ah, so it's the end of spring break and it definitely came too soon. Tomorrow morning I'll be heading back to school for the last long leg of the race. I honestly cannot wait for summer. Spring break was such a tease. I hope the next five weeks go by super fast because I have a feeling this summer will be great and since I will end school early May, I'll have ample time to enjoy it!

I want to enjoy some of my favorite snacks this week while I was home. One of my favorite Filipino desserts is polvoron! I'm not sure if it originated from the Spanish or if it's truly 100% Filipino but I love it! It's basically flour and sugar packed together into a super soft cookie shape. I have to have it in the Goldilocks brand otherwise it's just not polvoron to me. So whenever someone goes balikbayan I always ask for some. So thanks to Daisy for the hookups. :) I've also been enjoying this new flavor contender for Lays. It tastes exactly like cheesy garlic bread but I'm not sure if it tastes good without the crispy and soft texture that comes with a toasted bread... The similarities in flavor are uncanny.

I also watched Les Misérables for the third time with my family on blu-ray! I loved it just as much as the first time. It was so good and I'm so glad my parents also really enjoyed it. I swear I'll never get tired of that movie. Anyways, the rest of my night will consist of packing everything, doing last minute studying and homework, and painting my nails. I hope I get everything done!

Les Miserable Deluxe Edition and Steel Book!




What a day! I woke up early this morning with Mark to go out to Target and Best Buy to grab our own copies of Les Misérables! If you are a frequenter of this website or know me in real life, you would know that this movie is my obsession! Since Mark is a blu-ray connoisseur and is currently building an impressive blu-ray collection we were out to Target at 9am to snatch one of the few Les Misérables Target exclusive and then afterwards we went to Best Buy to grab the steel book. My Target exclusive came with 6 character cards and that's why you see Anne Hathaway on the cover rather than little Cosette and you can change the character cards based on your own preference!

Afterwards I went out to Noches de Colombia with my family for the first time and it was delicious! The portion size were enormous! Then we ran an errand and headed to the mall to make returns and of course, made a couple buys! Then I went out with Mark again to spend some time together before I head back to school on Sunday. We grabbed some ice cream and Starbucks and watched the behind the scenes Les Misérables dvd that was found in my deluxe edition.

As Sunday quickly creeps up on me I'm dreading my return back to school. Breaks at home are so great and relaxing and I just want it to last forever. Which makes summer that much more tempting. I can't wait til I'm carefree for three months straight before I go through another school year again!
