2013 Calendar

I usually just put up whatever calendar my mom gets from the bank or the drugstore when it becomes available. Last year, I put up a calendar in August. (I dunno why I didn't have until August :/) But now, I actually have one at the start of the year!

Boredom + lots of unused paper = 2013 calendar!

Anyway, I'll be posting my new years resolution progress in my old blog in Livejournal. I think this will be a goooood year!

2013 Resolutions

I don't really make resolutions for the new year but I want to try out a few things this year so I guess, here it goes...

Yoga

Knitting

Filipino dance

Every time there is a major event in my life, it doesn't go as peacefully as I would have liked. During the first day in college, I missed my first subject because I had to have my ID picture taken again. Apparently, some guy's photo appeared on my electronic ID. Crazy.

Today, I went to work for 30 minutes. Or less. I dunno...there was only an orientation. The guys I would be working with, all of them, weren't at the office. They told me to come work tomorrow, an hour later than I'm supposed to come in, to make sure that there's someone on my team who would be there.

Hahaha LOL.

The Golden Ass

Whenever I read information on the Internet, it's really no surprise when I start reading about anime and then star systems the next. For some reason, I found myself reading about greek and roman mythology -- again. I stumbled upon a link to this book called The Golden Ass. I thought it was funny so I clicked on it.

On the page, it said that the main protagonist turned himself into an ass.

An ass.

HAHA. Funniest information ever. I immediately thought of those butts in Cow and Chicken. When I hovered over the word 'ass', it pointed to a page about donkeys.

I didn't know donkeys were also called ass. What?!

It would be wildly inappropriate if Donkey was named Ass. :))

Holiday "Cherries"

Mistletoe turned Cherry. I need a striper.

HP Mania

I'm slowly getting back into my old Harry Potter obsession because of this advent calendar that I'm doing. Not only am I rereading the books, I'm also listening to chapter-by-chapter podcasts, re-reading Pottermore content and actually playing Pottermore again.

I had to dig out my old Harry Potter books and I am so happy to see them complete and together at last! I got Book 2 around a year before the first movie came out.

So far, these are all the Harry Potter books I have. I'm missing my copy of the 'Quidditch Through the Ages'. I'll go find it soon. The book I do not have is 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' so I hope to get that for Christmas.

OR THIS!

I recently saw this in the bookstore and I went crazy. It has actual props!!! I think I might really go buy this with 'Fantastic Beasts' and this other book:

Talk about crazy merch hoarding.

I've only had one Harry Potter shirt with a Quidditch logo on the front. I've had costumes made of course but I can't wear those out, obviously. Anyway, I've been looking around local shops that might have this but so far, no luck.

Thanks to Christmas traditions and advent calendars for you have revived my love for all things Harry Potter!

Always.

Firsts

I've always been a lip-balm-for-chapped-lips girl and never ventured into any face coloring makeup until recently. I am getting quite obsessed with searching for the perfect pink or perfect red lip. And with that comes my very first lipstick purchase ever!

(insert grown up moment)

This color wasn't my first choice, really. They didn't have what I wanted so I went with this, my second choice! 

It's a very very pretty true red. It has a nice matte finish which doesn't feel dry at all. 

(excuse the zombie eye bags)

There it is. Not the most flattering on my face but I love it!

Now I want a pink one, a coral one, an orange one... tralalalala!

P.S. Got this on sale at Watson's. I believe the sale is until tomorrow, Nov. 18, 2012.
