I LOVE Sunflowers! - 5/31/09

My favorite flowers are SUNFLOWERS! I love sunflowers because it is YELLOW and bright! To me, Sunflowers are both beautiful and gorgeous at the same time! At my “Dream” wedding, I want my flowers to be Sunflowers mixed with Red Roses! o=)

My BF recently got me these Sunflowers to brighten my DAY!! He is simply the BEST! I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful man. These flowers surely did brighten my day! And the many days that it blessed me with its presence! I love waking up to such an exquisite sight! It really makes my day!

Now I am wondering if I should purchase Sunflowers every week to put in my bathroom! Ahh, it would be so lovely!

"New Moon" Trailer! - 5/31/09

I just saw the trailer to “New Moon” on MTV's VMA and I LOVE IT!!

I love the setting of the Cullen’s house for Bella’s birthday. I especially love how Edward threw Bella across the room & how Edward threw Jasper onto the piano! Crazyyy! =P

I’m not sure how I feel about Jacob turning into what looks like a nice DOG more than a scary wolf!

I totally cannot wait for this movie to release!

Here is the trailer courtesy of iamnotobsessed.com!

Megan Fox at MTV's VMA! - 5/31/09

Look who wore the same heels that Fergie wore yesterday! It’s Megan Fox at MTV's VMA on Sunday, May 31, 2009!


Megan Fox’s dress is striking (and so is she!); however, I think it looks too small on her! I understand she is trying to accomplish the “shortest-hem” look but it looks more like she is wearing a junior size!

Anyway, those heels are soo fierce! They look like Christian Louboutin’s but I am not sure..

Going to watch "Terminator Salvation"! - 5/31/09

We're going to the movies!


We’re going to catch the action flick, “Terminator Salvation,” with Christian Bale!
.
"WE" will consist of the BF, my little brother, & a friend!

Critics gave this movie a C+! We’ll see how it turns out! I really don’t like action flicks, but everyone around me does. I only watch it just to make them happy =P

By the way, movies are soo expensive!! What is up with that?! I missed the "early-bird" showing. which is about $5.50. That is the showing I usually watch to save money! LOL. I am now going to a "matinee" showing, which costs about $8.50!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Fergie's GLAM-ROCKER Dress at Japan's MTV VMA! - 5/30/09

Fergie attended Japan's MTV Video Music Awards on Saturday, May 30, 2009 in Saitama, Japan.

OMG, I LOVE HER DRESS!!! She perfects the Gorgeous, GLAM rocker-style! I love the color, I love the style, I love everything about her outfit!

The dress was stunningly created to look like a ribbon wrapped around her figure. OMG, the color! It’s a perfect rocker, electric-blue hue in a gorgeous, feminine silk-like material.

I LOVE her killer, FIERCE heels! She paired the strappy heels very well with the dress! Adding to the Glam-Rocker look! The heels are soo high! I LOVE them, makes her legs look a mile long! She is so gorgeous!

Gold Nine West Pumps Haul! - 5/30/09


I’ve wanted Tan Pumps for a while now. I even had it in my “shopping bag”! So when I recently went to Ross and found these Gorgeous Gold Nine West Pumps, I was…PUMPED!!
.
At $26.99 – the price was a little higher than I usually spend on heels. LOL, I am so spoiled! In any case, I’ve wanted this color/style for so long, so I am very happy with my purchase!
.
Also, the Pointy heels are so fierce. BUT I love BOTH rounded heels and pointy heels! I really can’t wait to wear these heels!

I really like the color. It is sort of a light gold (not too trashy-gold)/tan hue! It is a neutral color, perfect for days where I am too lazy to find the right heels for my outfit! Actually..those days, I tend to pick black heels! This will be a nice (lighter) alternative!
.

Side note: Certain Nine West styles don’t have high of enough heels for me! I think that these pumps fit in that category. But I don’t mind! These are perfect for work!

Hey! I thought to myself:
"That looks similar to what I wear to bed!"
.
I’m totally being serious! I normally wear a tee & boxers to bed. And most often paired w/ a red tee! When I saw this picture, I looked down at what I was wearing & it looked similar, however, my boxers have pink & red stripes! LOL! I’m not a lingerie wearing gal. Although I have some for “special occasions” [;)]. I just feel more comfortable wearing THAT! =P
.
Apparently, Army Specialist Zachary Boyd, 19, of Fort Worth, Texas was rushed from his sleeping quarters after the unit came under fire from Taliban positions. (I can’t even begin to imagine how scary that is! =/) My favorite part, his boxers with the inscribed the message: “I love NY!”
.
I respect our troops & think that they are ALL so courageous to do what they do. If you are one of our brave men & women, I would like to say:
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! =)

"New Moon" Movie Poster Released! - 5/19/09

My sister called me at 9:00 pm last night -- which interrupted my studying! =/
.
I normally don't pick up my phone, it being so close to my exam date (& she understands that) but I for some reason I picked it up. I first heard her apologizing for interrupting my studying (hah!), then she revealed the great news: The “New Moon” movie poster has been released!!

My thoughts on the poster?
What I really like is that Bella (Kristen Stewart) is not in the middle. I think that would have been too cliché!



When I woke up this morning to browse the regular sites (mostly gossip sites) that I usually browse &, WOW, I was bombarded by the poster! I mean, it was on every site! That along with this Robert Pattinson’s photo at the Cannes Film Festival!

So there, I have now “bombarded’ you with both, LOL!
.
Additionally, there are reports that Rob confirmed that he would be in Breaking Dawn (the final book in the series)!! OMG, Breaking Dawn is my FAVORITE book out the Series!! I am totally soo excited! I wonder when it would be released? 2011?? Wow, that seems so far from now..
.

Someone asked me what scene am I looking forward to most in New Moon? -- That is, if it makes it to the movie!

I’ll start with the scene I don’t want to see:
I really don't want to see Bella after Edward leaves her! I cried while reading that part! (My BF’s reaction: “Oh, Gawd!”) I think I'm going to cry for the entire first 10 minutes of the movie!
.
It's not because I think its a bad scene, by no means. I just like to watch HAPPY movies & don't like to feel unnecessary sadness!

The scene I want to see:
I'm going to cheat & want two scenes! The scenes happened to both Bella & Edward at different times.
.
It happened to Edward when he saw Bella before he was going to “reveal” himself (lol) & he thought he was dead:
“"Amazing," he said, his exquisite voice full of wonder, slightly amused. "Carlisle was right."

And it happened to Bella when she woke up after coming home from Italy:
"Oh, crap" I croaked. My throat was thick with sleeping.
"What's wrong, Bella?"
I frowned at him unhappily. His face was even more anxious than before.
"I'm dead, right?" I moaned. "I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! This is gonna kill Charlie."


A couple of quotes from the book that I liked:
Happiness. It made the whole dying thing pretty bearable.
Edward: "So maybe this is hell. I don't care. I'll take it."
Bella: "Obviously not. If I was in hell, you wouldn't be with me."

And I LOVE this:
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

Wow! I am naturally intrigue by anything that refers to Astronomy! My name actually translates into a celestial object! I’ve always loved the meaning of my name. Moreover, there is sort of a Romeo & Juliet story to my name!

SWOOONNNNN! I really can’t wait until this movie releases! If you know me at all, I can’t wait for anything! I am too impatient! =P


Thank you Stephanie Meyer! For giving us the GREAT gift of “Twilight Series”!

Vacation to..think about work?? - 5/18/09

Today marks the first day of my 2-week vacation! I am taking vacation to…study for my exam! This will be my third exam (out of five) before I am “certified”! I am hoping to complete it this year! Yippee!

I found this comic to be all too amusing:


Why in the world would I want to *think* about work during my vacation?? I even dream about it!! It is just all too typical of me to think about work when I don’t have too! Sometimes, I think I need therapy for this problem. =/

The funniest thing is, when I don’t have to go yo work – I tend to naturally wake-up earlier! I usually wake-up at 7:30am but that is after my BF drags me out of bed! But when I don’t have to go to work, I (of course) naturally wake up at 6am! Most of the time, I force myself to go back to sleep. And other times, I take advantage of waking up earlier!

Anyway, more posts on my many shopping trips to come soon!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday! And as my sister always says:
BE HAPPY! =)

Tweed Jacket in Purple from H&M Haul! 5/14/09

I have been feeling like my clothes have been so boring lately! I need some texture in my life! When I saw this Tweed Jacket in Purple from H&M, I immediately knew I was going to buy it. My sister, on the other hand, questioned my choice. I informed her that because my attire is limited, due to where I work, when I find something that POPS without little effort – that is a GEM!

This jacket will go great with most of the slacks I own and, more importantly, great with jeans that I can wear on the weekend! I love pieces where I can just throw on with little thinking & look great! I feel like this jacket will accomplish that!

The shade is a cute Lilac color that will spice up any bland outfit! I really like the large buttons as well!

Yes, and let’s talk price: $15?! For a jacket?! A TWEED jacket??! LOL, I scored!! =)

Tweed Jacket in Purple from H&M – Only $15!

Nine West Heels Haul (Ross) – 5/1/09


I stopped by Ross a couple of days ago and picked up these super cute Nine West Heels! These heels are soo comfortable! The back part of the heel is made of a stretch material. I’ve never seen these on heels! I’ve seen them on flats, however.

Anyway, what do I love about my new heels? You’ve probably guess... its the neat detail in the front! I LOVE anything that is simple, yet there is one thing that makes it POP! These heels are absolutely adorable!!

These heels are a light, shimmery gold color. The gold color is very subtle, enough for me to wear to the office!

The best part?? OMG, these pumps were only $14.99!! Can you believe it?? I totally scored!

Nine West Heels in Shimmery Gold - $14.99!
