TEAM | PLAYER | HOME/AWAY SHIRTS | TYPE

1. Arsenal- Fabregas, Home, Short-Sleeves
2. Arsenal- Ramsey, Home, Short-Sleeves
3. Arsenal- Arshavin, Away, Short-Sleeves
4. Arsenal- Koscielny, Home, Long-Sleeves

Realistically though, the ones I have in bold are the ones I am going to get no matter what. && Probably MOST of the Arsenal ones. Because i just can't have ONE arsenal one.

Just saying.

Decisions

There are 3 things right now that i need replacing but i am unable to replace them all at once because....i can't afford it lol they are, a laptop, a blackberry and glasses. There are their pros and cons to which one i should get first.

LAPTOP

Current Laptop Status

• Had it for about 3 years, going onto 4. 
• Stickers all peeled off. 
• Exterior scratched up and dirty. 
• The "E, A, R" keys are severely scratched and dented because of my nails. The "N" and a quarter of the "O" key is non existing. 
• Reformatted about 8 times. 
• Illegal version of Windows 7 installed.
• Fan goes crazy at times. 
• Going Slow. Starting to feel the lag when i open two Adobe Programs simultaneously. 
• Feelings of fear arises multiple times during the week as the screen freezes....but then unfreezes itself after i do a couple of mad prayers to god asking for it to unfreeze.

Pros of getting a new one

• New. Can work more efficiently. 
• I'll even buy a laptop case for it. 
• No more feelings of fear and failure. 
• Should be proactive instead of reactive when it does in fact die on me and i have no back-up laptop.

Reasons in why i can delay

• It's still working. I can still do work.
  
• I don't know if i can choke up 7bills right now.
  

BLACKBERRY

Current BB Status

• It has a mind of its own (texts and calls people without my permission....seriously)
• Indicator light runs wild for a couple of hours and then stops when it feels like its bugged me enough
• No noise (meaning no ring tone, no text/msg noise)
• Been through severe moisture damage
• Just turned one year old in April....
• Dropped numerous of times
• But reception still good!
  

Pros of getting a new one

• I get to have a white BB
• I can actually hear my phone calls (very VERY important)
• No crazy indicator light business
• I will own it instead of it pwning me!!!!

Reasons in why i can delay

• I guess i CANN do without the ringtone.....just call me many times people
• It's only a years old....
• Don't know if i can fork up the X amount involved to "upgrade" my contract...
  

GLASSES

Current Glasses Status

• Scratched up beyond imaginable
• My color perception is actually impaired because its THAT scratched 
• People can see the scratches while talking to me
• Four years old
• Pretty bent up too

Pros of getting a new one

• I can see properly. I think everyone deserves to see properly.

Reasons in why i can delay

• I don't have 4bills to cough up (it takes THAT much because i am extremely blind and i tend to buy the ULTRA THIN lense so it doesnt look like i have coke bottle glasses and i also have crazy severe astigmatism)
• I mean i haveeeee been living with impaired vision for sooo long.
• I still like the style...

GAHHH Decisions!

To Do's

• TV SHOWS
  I started watching House again after almost a year of hiatus from it....Time to jump back in and disregard why i began watching it in the first place. I am going to start The Office .....maybe start Dexter if i have enough bandwidth.........while still be on top of Project Runway, Hells Kitchen (season finale this week), True Blood and one of my TVB drama...............before Criminal Minds, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl and Law&Order:SVU comes back on in September!!!!!!!!!!
• Apply for first and only job that has captured my interest in months
  This is considered huge for me.
  
• Continue with the freelance jobs.
  .....and hopefully secure a steady flow of these jobs to help with the bills.
• Hassle the Government for my EI
  YUPP. I still havn't gotten it approved. Shit, even if they AREN'T going to approve it can they at least tell me that so i can go get a quick part-time job or something in the meantime!?? This has been on the TOP of my list of to-dos EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past week. They are soooo testing my patience. I think they have definitely flagged my number/file.
• Meet-ups
  With J for SB, another J for DimSum. 
• Zip/Upload both Camp trips pictures
  I've been procrastinating. i am sorry.
• Beast Mode
  Maintain and double the cardio time.
• Attend Hot Yoga
  There's a track during combat that requires balance and i cannot even survive half of it.
• Figure out where i can watch the liverpool vs. aresenal game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Buy a pair of scissors from the dollar store
  i lost it while camping =[
• Buy Honey Dijon Mustard
  Because i am addicted to it and add it to everything i eat

Now i am just becoming random.

Tis' all. Must get started.

Four Things....and counting

There are four things (that i remember at the moment anyways) that i absolutely need to do but it all has been pushed back to the back of all to-dos due to laziness, procrastination and my short attention span. They include:

• Iron all my scarves
• Apply for the Trillium Drug Program (Since i get NO health benefits ho-hum....)
• Re-Organize my Music Library
• Organize my 1TB Harddrive

Fak fak fak no time.

im boring

Does anyone else find me boring nowadays?

Anyways, saw these! && wondered why i didnt pursue Fashion Communications.....and why im not rich and pretty. SIGHS.

Valentino Spring 2010

Emilio Pucci ready-to-wear spring summer 2010

Purdy isnt it? Makes me want to shop (Zara = huge sale = me going crazy) !!!  Suddenly my new favorite store is Zara......on sale. Nonetheless their stuff is stylish but not so Forever21 price range for me lol Maybe its just me but i haven't seen any of Zara's Headband collection in their stores? Or is it just a States (argh no fair) thing? I'm lacking headbands (like how im lacking scarves....).

On another note, I REALLLLLLLLLY need to get a move on my much delayed/procrastinated Room Reno that I declared back in July09 (ish). I mean, even lx is starting up with his and we havnt even finished with mine. Argh argh! Things i NEED to accomplish:

• Go grab the wardrobe from K!!!!!
• Wallpaper my closet door
• Buy fabric for my DIY projects (for the room & K's belated Christmas Present)
• Patterned Wrapping Paper/Stock to cover bookends
• Buy: Bookends, file storage, binders, large black stylish storage boxes, large laundry hamper, wooden clothes hangers, bed/bomforter linen
  
• Paint Room (the minute its warm enough to keep windows open all night)

I feel like i am repeating this list over and over again with nothing crossed off.

& it is probably the case too. =___=*

Anywaysssss. I'm so so looking forward to the weekend! Like i mentioned before double Winterlicious!! @ Fred's Not Here & Oliver and Bonacinii because we are poor but want relatively decent lunch food. Its just gonna suck a tiny bit because of the super cold wave that's coming this weekend which means i'll have to bundle up and not allowed to look pretty because little bundled up eskimos aren't pretty.

I'm also feeling lucky. Maybe the mister and i should try Avatar IMAX again? haha

Epics 2 week

Alrdy done:

• Dermatologist Appointment- 2010 is the year my skin will be beautiful again!!!!
  
• Met up with Chocolate for Wings and intense Starbucks-ing. Sad Albie couldn't made it
• Ikea trip with K. Scouting out prices for the big reno in 2010! Dun dun dun. 

I foreshadow the followings in the next 2 weeks (in no particular order):

• Christmas shopping for my list of 9 recipients (three down!!) and for misc. things such as pretty wrapping paper and tinsel to jazz up the exterior of the gift..baking ingredients...maybe a gift for myself! Who knows.
  
• Christmas DIY Gift Making
• Continuation of Project Debbie Travis on a Budget: Wallpapering(tentative!), rearranging furniture, cleaning up, organizing clothes & little DIY Projects around the room.
  
• Christmas Wrapping!!!!!!! 
• GCM Girls Secret Santa Exchange & Get-together
• Sexy Girls Secret Santa Exchange & Get-together lol
• Wings Night @ D's
• More Joy Teas, Caramel Brulee Lattes and Cranberry Bliss Bars!
• LOTS of Christmas Baking and Dessert Making
  
• Actual Christmas Day! Traditional XMAS Dimsum with the Family in the morning.
  
• Fit in Skating somewhere in there
• Go back DT just to take a picture with the damn Swarovski tree....and then leave rite away haha
  
• Writing up my New Years Resolutions
• Watching Avatar in 3D and Sherlock Holmes
  
• Boxing Day Shopping

And i stop at the 26th because i have no idea what im doing for NYE and if i am even doing anything at all. As always, it depends on my mood. As of now though i am in a TERRIFIC mood and cannot wait to go hit the LAST-SATURDAY-BEFORE-CHRISTMAS crowd this weekend ^_____^

Before i forget.

(via Source) (I want my hair long like the girl in the pic AND her sweater giggle)

Shopping list for myself! Need to look for cheap yet a stylish:

• Jewellery Stand/Holder or specifically something to hold my necklaces (Necklaces flying everywhere and getting tangled)
• Bedsheets (Mini yellow and purple roses against pale green is not cool)
• Scarf Box
• Recycle Bin/Basket
• Large Clothes Box (for my stay @ home clothes & PJs)
• Mittens (refuse to buy any over 5 bucks....even though my TNA ones are losing its warmth strength. Dont buy TNA mittens. They dont keep u warm.)

• Large Hot Rollers  (im in no rush for this but keeping an eye for a set that are discounted and is sooo cheap its like one of those i-get-lucky type of cheap......but not cheap in quality kind of product)
  

Amongst other things i don't remember but i should because it'll come in handy seeing everything is currently on sale. Oh right, like this hat i saw Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey) wore on Gossip Girl. AND winter jacket shopping very soon! Before it hits zero degrees.... tho that seems so unlikely because it is currently freaking nine degrees outside. Madness. Looks like TNA parka here I come? I need peoples opinions and testimonials on those Tatula and Community jackets. I'm looking for something fitted, yet warm! Most importantly WARM. I'm getting old and i can't stand the cold.

I wonder if Karyn is able to get me dirt cheap uggs from Vegas. When i mean dirt cheap, I mean under 80 bucks. heh. Sorry cousin and mister, im giving in. I will take those beats from u guys when i see u. xD Then again, the chances of her finding them for THATT cheap, in MY size, in THAT style (heard they discontinued making the Classic Mini's) and in the color (Chocolate) I want are probably pretty slim and at zero. If that is the case it would simply mean it wasn't meant to be!

Shopping, shopping. A girls death.

PS. Ninja Assassin was quite good. Big Ups to Rain for his role. lol

add-on: scarves addiction

I was stalking through my own pics from year 1&2 @ GCM and saw myself wearing a really nice scarf and then asked myself "heyyyyyy where did THAT go".Sadly i already knew the answer to that and became a lil bitter. Argh those pictures reminded me of how many scarves i have lost over the years by either leaving it at GCM (i even know who took one of them!!! ahhh) or on the TTC.


damn if i've just been a LITTLE more careful i wouldn't need to buy all these new ones!



or not.


They don't call it an addiction for nothing. gah.


I wrote this up a couple months ago but since its autumn now, it seems completely necessary to bring it up again. Reblogging so i know what to get and not freaking buy the same thing lol Scarves i will eventually get:

• A Hot Pink-colored scarf
• A red-colored scarf
  
• A green-colored scarf
• a floral patterned scarf
• a pastel yellow-color scarf
  
• a pretty patterned scarf of some sort
• a striped scarf
• a nice looking, jumble, suffocate-myself-in wool scarf in general
  
• another square scarf of any sort would be nice (lets make it four!)
• a white scarf
  
• a plain black square scarf
  
• Perhaps a nice grey-colored wool scarf

I am in desperate need of a new scarf box because my current one is totally overflowing.
Maybe i really should have gotten it yesterday at Ikea.

Time to hit up BMV

Bits and Pieces

I've been blogging pretty much every single day this week but havnt published any of it so im just going to copy and paste them all together into one big post, so i apologize for the chunkiness.

First up. I really gotta stop pushing my luck.

I am normally either the first one at the office (I currently have no key so I stand outside miserably for latecomers) or one of the first ones to be there. In my two and a half month with the company, ive noticed a trend. The trend is: my boss can smell when I am late.
Not the “2-5mins” late kind of late, I mean the 10-15 minutes, strolling in with tim hortons late. !@#$% He is NEVER here when I am waiting at the door yet he always catches me when im not in my seat. What the hell lolol Example today. I checked his calendar (all our calendars are synchronized for organization and efficient purposes) the night before and noticed he had an early morning OUT OF THE OFFICE meeting. Cools, thinking to myself I can take a little more time than usual. HAAAAAAA. Nothing I think every goes right. This morning I walked into the building with my icecap and buttered raisin bagel , feeling all dandy because its a nice day. Then the elevator opens, look who's there- its my boss in his spiffy wear.

Capital eff-em-elle (FML). =_____=

My happy thoughts were shattered so fast (but not as fast as the time it took to come up with a story about why I was late) thumbs up.

I swear he can smell when im up to no good. lol


Next. I really shouldnt shop but......yeah no excuses. I really shouldnt shop lol
But i like to make lists anyways

• Shorts, shorts, shorts (because its summer time!!!)
  
• Long Boho Dress (For once, being tall has its perks)
  
• Sandals (I'm upgrading from Old Navy flipflops)
  
• Gladiator Heels (Just cause lol)
  
• New bag for work (My bags are becoming hobo-looking)
  
• Eyelash Curler (Any recommendations? Many are saying Shiseido?)
  
• Contacts (Attempt at the unknown)
  
• Sunglasses (because ive wanted them for the longest time)
  
• The Time Travelers Wife (So I can watch the movie)
  
• The Host (So I wont get beats from twin)
  
• Salem Falls, or any Jodi Picoult Book (Because i am genuinely interested in seeing if her writing is as great as it has been hyped up to be)
  

Sadly, I know i will eventually get them all. I need retail therapy, along with other kinds of therapies, rehabilitation, and shock treatments.

Jumping to something totally random, ive been trying to get into reading New Moon (2nd book in the Twilight Saga) again but for some reason, this being maybe the third or fourth time again- i really, REALLY cant get through it. I think its gotten to a point where I am so attached to the character (Bella) and I put myself in her shoes, that I cannot go through the pain she experiences in the book. haha it is so TRAGIC and so heartbreaking that it literally kills me too, hence i am unable to finish the book to prep for the movie =[ im quite a loser, i know.

Oh and Robert Pattinson was "hit/glazed/brushed/collided" by a NYC cab because he was trying to run from fans. My god people, you all are going to kill this gorgeous piece of meat one day if you dont calm down and then NOBODY CAN HAVE HIMMMMMMMMMM. that would be a very sad day.

It's finally almost the end of the week. I've been somewhat productive this week in terms of utilizing the time that is not spent at work. I've gone shopping, ive done some work for a special project that i am not going to disclose yet, i cleaned my closet, im watching my dramas while doing all that....but still doing a little work nonethelesssss.

I think im venturing off into London tmr with the mister and his family for his sisters housewarming and the litttle one's birthday. That's going to be fun....if i am really going. lol

Okay thats it,my random bits and pieces.
My GCM-conclusion post is still pending.
Stay tuned!
