Christmas recap

So I went to a hill (that they called it mountain) on Christmas night. They had this tall artificial christmas tree with full of lights that looked like diamonds!

They had this 'snow' flakes which happened to be suds LOL. Well, at least they tried to fake it for people who live in two-season countries, like here. My mom posed in some pictures as if she was really freezing haha.

I was wearing a striped tee, white cardi, straight-cut jeans, cream sneakers, gold chain necklace, and a gold bangle (can't really see here)

Too bad that my brother got sick so he couldn't join us :/ but i guess he pretty enjoyed watching TV in the hotel room :P

I didn't really have something that I wanted for Christmas, I was happy enough to spend time with my family, but I've got some clothes and...... cash! Yeah! :P
Actually my dad felt kinda weird by giving me cash only, he kept asking me what i wanted to buy, but i would take a lot of their time accompanying me to shop so,,, i guess i'll just go later :)

How was your christmas?? Hope all of you got what you wanted!

3 days till New Year!

Christmas <3

Omg i cant believe that Christmas is in only 2 days! im excited!
And today i just picked up my result form and certificate for the electone exam.
Im so happy now! I wanted to post some pics here but the same problem like last time is happening again so i cant :/
so im posting them in facebook instead ;)

So much to do now! I have to plan where i will bring my family to when they are here.
They're coming tomorrow! woot!
And I have to sort out some of my things here that I dont use much, like...
BOOKS! There are tons of them from previous terms and i just wanna get rid of them.
My parents would get some problems of bringing them back haha coz they're so heavy XD
And one more thing is... I have to iron my clothes. LOL.
My mom gave me an iron few months ago and i just used it like twice :P
so you can tell from the clothes i wear haha.
Oh! and i gotta clean up my room again for final touch before my parents come =p
Oh oh! (suddenly i recalled all the stuff) and im still thinking of what color i should paint my nails! haha! ok maybe thats not important... lol

Hope everyone enjoy this holiday season!

Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad!

Nylon goes to China

My wheel is at the top (again?)

Humans take things for granted.
If our wishes don't come true, we start blaming God,
asking why He could do this to us,
without knowing that He's got a better plan.

And we may not realize this,
but we tend to look for God only when hardships occur in lives,
and we tend to forget Him most of the time.

Once I heard,

"If you don't get the (good) things you want, God shall give you the better ones"

or something like that. lol

It's really true though, coz i guess it happens to me quite a lot of times.
I didn't realize that before,
but I did today,
coz it just happened to me.
It's one of my christmas wishes.
I never thought that it came true early.
I cried due to over joys.
God heard me,
and I believe He always does.

I wanna scream this out loud:

I PASSED THE ELECTONE GRADE 5 PERFORMANCE EXAM!!!

Thank you God,

YOU ARE MY SAVIOR.

I missed the early bird tickets (again) and im still thinking whether i should go or not coz actually im not that huge fan of theirs. but i think its gonna be great :)

Too deep

I woke up and felt your presence here.
But when I turned around, I was in a different place.
It was a dream.

I found myself sleeping again.

I woke up and I knew you were there.

And there you were,

sitting next to me.

But again, it was a dream.

I opened my eyes once again, hoping that this time was real.

I turned around and you were not there.

And it wasn't a dream.

SHINE ON

Her clothing line, Femme for DKNY Jeans:
“I got to bring in textures that I loved and tell them about the shapes that I like. I designed clothing that I feel are staples for my closet. I think that’s really helpful to girls who need to know they can mix high-end with low-end, and you don’t have to buy a complete outfit the way it’s shown in the store. Every girl needs a great leather jacket, and every girl needs a skinny pair of black jeans.”





On her close bond with her mother:
“My mom is rad. I feel I’m so much like her. I don’t know if it’s wrong to drop an F-bomb in the same sentence as your mother, but I’m so fucking lucky to have my mom. She’s just taught me so much and given me so much, and she has such an open heart.”





The experience of fame:
“I walked into a mall one day and was mobbed by people. And I just remember feeling really different than everyone else. I felt really loved. But it was weird at the same time. I don’t necessarily like to walk into a place and be recognized.”





Taking the part of starlet Olivia Burke on Gossip Girl:
“I was a little hesitant. It was kind of close to home… then I realized, I would never say something [that Olivia says] like, ‘Oh, this is just for the cameras.’ I think that’s what makes me so different from some of the other people my age. It seemed for a time there were people who hated each other – and I knew they hated each other – but they were in pictures together all the time, smiling and throwing their arms around each other. I was like, “You’re in the same business I am – how can you do that and feel okay? I so wouldn’t do that.”

Talking about......

"How you deal with love is how you deal with yourself, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys as you, even if our lives and ways are different"

Sometimes we need to look into ourselves, instead of blaming others of what has happened.
Some people look at things with one eye closed.
They count and remember the good things that they have done and the bad things that others did.
They think what others do is not good enough as compared to what they do.
They think they're only the ones who are having a hard time, whereas the other parties are having harder.
Humans are not perfect.
Love is not perfect either.
Some people assume they understand about love enough,
when they actually understand about something else that is love-like.
I don't know much about love either.
It's sort of complicated.

I believe that things happen when you least expect them and they happen for a reason.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together
