Arts and Crafts Night Via Instagram

January 16, 2012 at 2:13 pm | Filed under photos

On Saturday, a bunch of us went over to Klassy‘s place to make props for her and Eric‘s wedding (happening this Saturday!!!). The two of them are actually already husband and wife but they are renewing their vows in the presence of friends and family from the US and the Philippines. I am super stoked to be a bridesmaid!

(All but two of the following photos were taken from Klassy‘s instagram feed. I preferred using Photobooth to document the night and you can see them on my Tumblr.)

Sweet Valley Twins and The Baby-Sitters Club + more! Basically, our childhood. ♣♣♣ Tearing said books apart. ♣♣♣ Hello, I am an SVT cover girl. ♣♣♣ Holding up flaglets. 1BRUCE1!

Malaysia Day 2: Kuala Lumpur City Tour and Cocktails at The View

January 10, 2012 at 6:41 pm | Filed under events, photos, vacations

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since the NAPBAS! The photos I took from my trip are still sitting in my iPhoto, silently chanting “We want to be on Facebook! We want to be on Facebook!” Some time this year, I promise!

For our second day, we were to be treated to a mini guided tour of Kuala Lumpur. Kaith and I were up bright and early for the breakfast buffet.

Porking up for a long day ahead.

The Year of The Hair: A 2011 Recap of Sorts

January 5, 2012 at 8:52 pm | Filed under hair, photos

2009 was the year of my Project 365. 2010 was the year of my trying to get back into blogging. 2011 was the year of my hair.

My hair adventures will most likely continue until the day I die my youth dies (or when all my hair falls off) because there’s still a whole bunch of colors out there I haven’t tried. As soon as I get a little extra money (the first quarter of this year is going to be AMAZING but oh, how it burns my pockets), I’m putting in an order for some blue, green, and purple Special Effects dye. I can’t wait!

I’ve been meaning to recap all the hairstyles I had for 2011. I actually did it back in September, on my Tumblr, but I’d rather have a somewhat more comprehensive account of it here. If you regularly keep up with me on the internet (thank you, by the way :3), you’ve probably already seen these photos. Let us begin!

I started the year looking like this:

I absolutely loved this color on me and how it looked like my hair shone (the result of a DIY patchy bleach job).

2012 Goals and Projects

January 3, 2012 at 7:07 am | Filed under lists, the helga manual

Happy New Year, everyone! I know I’m late but that’s because the last few days leading up to the new year were a bit crazy (obviously, a ton of alcohol was involved). I hope everyone had a blast ringing in 2012! I know I did and Tara said it perfectly when she said we ended the night by dying.

As with blog tradition (I missed 2008, though), I am writing down my resolutions/goals/game plan for the upcoming year.

Learn how to manage my time properly, focus, and be more motivated, productive and organized. Most of the time, I feel like I have so much going on when it’s really just Facebook apps keeping me busy. I’m kidding (sort of). I need to trim the fat; this means less Castleville (my Facebook game of the moment), less TV show marathons, and less oversleeping (or sleeping, basically). I purchased a planner recently (and actually started using it last night) and downloaded the Evernote app to help me out.

Generic 2011 Survey

December 29, 2011 at 7:02 pm | Filed under memes and such

Normally, I avoid things like this. Nothing else makes me feel as inadequate and inferior as looking back at the year that was and feeling like I just spent 98% of my time nursing hangovers or eating junk food in my couch while fist-pumping to Jersey Shore. I kid you not, I really do fist-pump to Jersey Shore (and other things, like finding a can of Ma Ling in the kitchen) while around the house.

These year-end surveys are generally not good for my well-being. That, and no one really cares about these things (exceptions: my boyfriend and probably me, when I’m 40). But then, maybe it could be a good thing for me to start doing these things so I can be motivated to do better the next year, ya know?

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Shave the side of my head. The Azta stylist botched it up, though, so I might do it properly in 2012. We’ll see.
