"A store can awaken a lust for things you never knew you needed"

Jesus will tell u, I am a pack rat. lol.
I watched my fav movie Confessions of a Shopahoplic. Although, i toned it down substantially over the past year, I did have a problem with shopping excessively in the past. I just love the feeling of going into a store and looking around, finding things, trying them on, picturing them in my room, using whatever I bought with friends, wearing that new dress to a party -with the new shoes and bag. :) The sales people are always friendly and there are so many options, different sizes, colors, price ranges. :)
I seriously used to go to the grocery store as an excuse to shop because "everyone needs food right? It's like a basic human necessity." I think you get the point. Anyway, after watching Confessions of a Shopholic -which is my fav movie because I can relate to it so very well -I have the sudden urge to shop again. Instead of caving in however, I will just post this pic of this beautiful Louis Vuitton bag that I will never be able to afford. A girl can dream right?

Lovely Day with AD.

On Saturday I was lucky enough to spend practically the whole day with AD. First, he was nice enought to go grocery shopping with me. :) Then, we went to West Wood Hills. :)

After a few minutes all I wanted to do was stop right here and lay on this bench with a log pillow. lol

After WWH, AD and I decided we wanted to cook dinner. We made Pasta with Tomato and Peas, although we did improvise a little because we didn't have just frozen peas. You can get the recipe on

Veggies :)

Pasta

Herbs

Yummy Sauce

Finished product topped with cheese!

Finally, dessert. :)

Overall , it was a day well spent. After, watching The Fourth Kind, which left me utterly terrified, I was left in an empty house and I had no choice but to go to Red Hen to meet up with some friends. NO WAY was I going to stay home alone after watching that movie. I still can't sleep peacefully!

Omagoodness!

I said I was going to do this journal thing but it's so hard to keep up. I decided to post some entries now. Sorry, I tried to draw but I am so bad at it! I only did stick figures too! Hehe. Most of these are suppose to be illustrations but you know, I am so not down for that. Anyways, enjoy!

Day 4: "What my heart looks like."

Day 5: Blogs I heart.

La borsa come oggetto di culto per una donna

One of the blogs I follow -A Bit of Fashion posted this lovely video featuring my favorite accessory AND it's in Italian. What a perfect way to practice my Italian! This made my day and I hope it makes yours.

Check out A Bit of Fashion here.

Perfection.

So I was at the grocery store tonight getting something for my dad and I decided to browse through the magazine isle. I was immediately taken away by W Magazine's cover with one my personal favs, Eva Mendez. Needless to say as soon as I saw these pictures I just had to buy the magazine.

These pictures are from the July issue of W Magazine. Eva is photographed by Mert Alas &Marcus Piggott; Styled by Alex White.

Tonight listening to 106.1 kmel -Slow Jams :)

Just A Thought...

This will especially be funny to those who knew me in high school. You know the girl in choir, never missed a football game, somehow never made it to Geometry, always had fun, obsessed with "communication" and what the latest One Tree Hill episode was. haha.

Why did I become an English major? When I was in high school I used to make fun of people like me. I didn't read any of the books they assigned us back then. How I passed? I have no idea. And now look at me. Spending most of my time reading. Shiiiit. I don't leave the house without a book, EVER, or a magazine. My mom makes fun of me. I can't own a cute small purse cuz my book won't fit. Oh dear. I swear, if you would have told me in high school that I would be reading Shakespeare for fun in college...wow I would have laughed in your face. I especially made fun on the Brit Lit kids with their Darcy pins they would wear around school and now I have read Pride an Prejudice, oh i dunno, like 5 times. British Literature is like my favorite subject now!! haha oh dear. Who am i now?

Even when I first arrived to Davis I looked around at the people in my classes and was like "uuuummm yeah I don't have anything in common with these people". Now the more English classes I take the less true that statement is. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Did you see me becoming an English major?? Why? I mean I know that I love to write and that growing up I used to write stories for you guys or poems and what not but I never thought I would be like this.

You looked ok with the others, You looked great on your own

Okay, so I started with the journal challenge already. Only bad part is that my camera decided to die on me last week so all of my pics are taken with my cell phone (and I dont have an iphone) so please be patient. Anyway, here are the entries. Enjoy.

Day 1: A little about myself.

Day 2: Best part of my day.

Day 3: Someone I ♥.

New Challenge: Journal

There is this challenge I have been wanting to do for awhile now. The plan was to start July 1st but summer school is kicking my butt and I haven't had much time. Soooo I will start now and try to catch up with the first few entries. Hope you like it. :)

The challenge is called the 30 Day Challenge I got it from this website!

Here are the guidlines from Janel:
* I will post the prompt and my journal page each morning (before 10:00 am cst)
* I will be posting all of these here, on my blog for everyone to see :)
* My pages are going to strictly be pen and paper but I want you to feel creatively free to add in whatever you want :)
* I have created a Flickr Group where we can all share our pages right here. Join it now!
* I also would love for you to post your pages on your blog as well with a link in the comments so that we can check them out as soon as they are posted!!
* Some people asked about supplies and prefrences. Here are my personal picks:
My very favorite pen, that I have used in my journals, since college, are the Papermate flair felt tip pens.
This will be my journal. It is pink and Hello Kitty. :)


One more thing, for those who are well aquainted with me you know I CANNOT DRAW. So please be patient with me and forgive me at the attempts I might make of drawing. Thank you.

Love,
Mia

Clumsy

So I totally embarrassed myself the first week of summer school when I acted a fool in front of this guy that I thought was kind of cute. Anyway, AD made me feel better kinda by showing me this article he found on http://blogs.koit.com/lickes/. Anyway, here is the post. :)


WHY DOES IT FEEL SO GOOD TO BE IN LOVE?
It’s because some of the most powerful brain circuits for pleasure are triggered. The main chemical involved is dopamine, which produces feelings of euphoria, energy, sleeplessness, & focused attention on your “main squeeze.”

KLUTZY DATES
IT’S A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ON A FIRST DATE WHEN YOU DO THINGS LIKE DROP YOUR FORK, OR KNOCK OVER THE WATER GLASS, OR (GOD FORBID) SPILL YOUR WINE. LOL
While embarrassing, these gaffes are actually a good sign. Rutgers University researchers found that when you have a serious chemistry with your date, your body produces elevated levels of a substance that can make you jittery, uncoordinated, & a little accident prone.
Personally, it affected me slightly differently. It was my first date with a girl named “Heidi.” Twice, I called her “Debbie.” (names changed to protect the innocent). That was our only date. LOL

I didn't really talk to him after that because I was a bit embarrassed. Haha.

My Past.

After reading the first 4 chapters on Jane Eyre I cried for about 30 min. Wow, like i needed that. ugghh.
