My Favorite Excuse: Stress

stress levels have reached alarmingly high levels. i am now officially dependent on caffeine to function. oh, starbucks dark mocha, what do i do without you?

speaking of stress, it's my excuse for the most recent purchase. obviously, i wasn't successful in cutting down on unnecessary expenses as originally planned. sure, i tried to bring lunch everyday so i could avoid spending too much on junk or fast food, and yeah, i don't get to shop at malls as often as i used to coz i'm almost always on shopping ban (imposed by my bf)... what i saved went to something i ordered online:


two shelves. don't ask. i swear i'll find a way to insist that they're necessities.
thanks, pa, for setting them up for me.

2011 Movies So Far

tons of great movies this year, and i've only grazed the tip of the iceberg. this, by the way, led me to tag my posts from now on. for the sake of being organized. anyway, so far, i've watched the following, wherein i would attempt to summarize my "feelings" in one or two lines:

1. death race 2
a far cry from death race 1, but still good. our (the boyfriend and mine) theory is that this might've been originally death race 1, if not for the bit boring parts

2. the mechanic
i know i've watched this, but i can't seem to remember the story

3. i am number four
sucks. i fell asleep halfway through. stupid movie.

4. hall pass
eh.. so-so

5. adjustment bureau
action sci-fi turned chic flick. good start, bad ending

6. beastly
another teeny bopper movie. a thumb up (yes, just one) just coz it had a fairytale ending

7. red riding hood
surprisingly good, but not spectacular. kinda guessed who the wolf was.

8. limitless
another action sci-fi with a good start, but ended bad

9. insidious
surprisingly a good thriller even though the story's not that good. this one gave me todo goosebumps!!

10. source code
i didn't like this only because it was tiring to watch. sci-fi turned chic flick

11. rio
ok for a kiddie movie

12. fast and furious 5
although this one was good, it wasn't great, and it didn't deserve the hype it got.

13. thor
another movie ruined coz it was turned into a chic flic

come on, not every movie has to have a chic and/or a love story.

14. pirates of the caribbean 4
anything with johnny depp is gold! the first three movies were better since they had tons of incredible fight scenes. this one takes the cake on the effects.

15. kungfu panda 2
awesome!! haha. jack black movies are easy to like as long as i don't get to see his face and/or any part of him for that matter

16. this brings us now to my latest weekend movie:


got to watch transformers last friday. while i am not a fanatic like some people i know, i enjoyed it. as expected, the storyline was not that deep, which for a change, was ok for me. you could say that i didn't want the hassle of trying to guess hidden agendas nor the stress of analyzing what just happened or why while watching awesome cars go eh-eh-err-gshh-gzz-zzz into kick-ass robots.


onto mirage. meet mirage, the red ferrari 458 italia, which caught my eye. su-weeeeeet!!


been meaning to watch monte carlo just coz i still like teeny bopper movies. looking forward to captain america, green lantern, x-men, harry potter, breaking dawn, saw 8, puss in boots, sherlock holmes 2, bourne 4, and so much more!

Renovations

so i had my site renovated. not sure if i got tired of the old layout or i just wanted a new look. might be both. anyway, for some reason, i couldn't seem to be able to post a new entry yesterday at the office, so this one's my new post since the redecor.

sadly, i lost blog links.. will try and look for them later. also plan on tweaking the template a bit to add buttons for easy access like i had with the old one. too bad i have no knowledge of css or whatnots, but like before, i'd probably manage. :)

also, the post a comment link doesn't seem to be working. >.< hafta do troubleshooting.

cheers to a new look!

(edit: have added a few blog links back. [p, i can't remember your link. you don't update much kasi eh. text me] also fixed the comment button, it works now)

My First Havs

here's what i got last night...


it's actually my first pair of havs. i don't know why, but before last night, i have never bought myself a pair of outdoor slippers, and have never related to crazy fads launching them. usually i'm in step-ins or in heels. when i go to the nearby grocery i just wear my old house slippers. tan thought it was a good idea and i could actually use it when i go visit him and/or when i go to the mall, aside from the grocery thing. he assures me of the quality by reminding me his pair is still in a good condition after 4 years. (my ipanema literally broke in half after a year)

on other news, he also likes my idea of white and blue or white and green for room colors.

oh, before i go... i just want to add this last thing... i want this! please help me find it.

On a Boring Monday Holiday

woke up with a severe backache today. i'm getting old. T_T

i'm blogging just coz i'm bored. have already changed my beddings; too lazy to get a picture. planned on going to trinoma for my first ever back cleaning and a not so first pedicure. then it rained, again. canceled it, and had tea instead.

currently watching NCIS series and loving it. i just wish my downloads for the next two seasons goes faster than the rate i'm watching the current one.


it's the next best thing since CSI: LV. ^_^
