Please visit :)

2008-07-18T06:40:00.001-07:00

So I haven't been updating much. Thinking of moving. Starting freshhh... (I always do this rotfl!). Going more public? Thinking that if I go public I'll find the motivation to love my blog and update on a regular basis... Hehe we shall see my friends... we shall see.

PS. New York is heaven!!! Wish my other half was here with me :/

2008-07-07T05:29:00.000-07:00

As promised...

Szechuan Spicy Chilli King Prawns, Steamed buns, Yumsing special seafood crispy noodles and jello for dessert!

Thanks for the treat Shortie :(

So things haven't exactly been rainbows and butterflies lately. But that's okay because we've got things like beautiful cupcakes to cheer us up...for now. Well not really but for the sake of sticking up pictures... I present to you:

Bonda Cafe's double chocolate whipped cupcake muffin.

So BIG :) So GOOD :D

Today someone thought they'd get up early to make breakfast...

Today's menu: Sardine rolls! Yum.

Chefeeque!

Thanks for being patient, strong and most importantly so, so understanding about everything that's happened in the last week. I'm sorry we have to put things on a temporary hold but I promise you, IT WILL HAPPEN. I love u!

2008-06-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

The Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration at Hyde Park is sounding like a crazy party from where I am right now! Wish I had known about the tickets :( Amy Winehouse, Sugababes and Leona Lewis all sound so amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

So both Shortie and Him will be flying off to New York very very soon and I think I might just cry as I will be left here all by my lonesome self till it's my turn to go, which right now seems like such a long... long... time... sigh. Putting all that aside, I've got myself all prepared with entertainment (thank god for mariokart!) and most importantly FOOD. He made fun of me for doing this, but I like to call it being organized. BH's kitchen wont be serving next week, so I thought I'd stock up :D

Went to Hummingbird today for cupcakes and coffee. Too bad the crowd and the weather had to get in the way. Oh well, at least we managed to bag these:

Can't wait for the match this sunday! Lets goooooooooooooooooo Germany!!!

2008-06-07T07:43:00.001-07:00

Hello world, I'm back!!! :)

...but not for long.

I thought i'd blog now (this is especially for Moss and Shortie) before I jet off to Amsterdam early Monday morning. Freedom is still so very surreal at this point and hasn't quite sunken in since my last exam on Friday which by the way went just okay. Half the room was filled with 3rd years repeating the module and by the time it had gone 1 and a half hours into the exam more than half gave up and left - so the confidence boost I needed wasn't exactly there. I stayed for the whole 3 hours, but I honestly don't know what to think of the exam so all I have to do is wait...I guess. July 10th is the day. Until then i'm gonna go full blast and have all the fun I deserve! I've been working non stop since easter break, this feeling of having nothing to do is all so foreign to me! Celebrated by doing hardcore shopping yesterday with him, Moss, SK and Shortie. Can't remember the last time we all hung out together so it was nice :) Spent a whole month's allowance in 7 hours straight and bought everything from underwear to pjs to clothes to shoes! We went everywhere! Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Bershka, Selfridges, Dorothy Perkins, Zara, New Look, River Island, H&M and god knows where else! I was so excited when I found the perfect pair (sole searching, y'all :D) of gladiator sandals which i've been eyeing since before exams even started! I even got a second pair in a different color and similar style...just because~ I should really be feeling about going broke right before my trip.

Oh well.

So right now its 4pm. I'm still in my jammies. I just woke up from sleep. I am now going to shower and get ready to hit Bayswater to watch Sex and the City and then cupcakes right after! Gotta start packing tonight too! Life is good :) See y'all after Amsterdam!

Btw, the current rate of the Euro is a real bitch! BUZZKILL.

2008-06-02T00:04:00.001-07:00

3 days till I get my life back. Bare with me now.

...which also means i've only got 3 study days left O_o!!!

Btw, my FMC exam was beautiful~~~ (: Terrified for my next one though... *faints*

2008-05-13T05:10:00.001-07:00

Je ne sais pas why i'm still blogging...

Anyway. Checked blackboard and thought all ACCA students would be interested in this:

The ACCA have now clarified the situation in respect of the minimum pass marks they will accept for exemptions - and these for each relevant unit are 40% overall with 30% minimum for both coursework and exam. This change applies from 1 January 2008 and means that any student achieving marks in the 30-34% in relevant units in the January 2008 exams will NOT have to do resits in order to gain exemption. The change also applies to students in years 2 and 3 who did not achieve the 35% minimum in years 1 and 2.

PLEASE NOTE THIS APPLIES FOR ACCA EXEMPTIONS ONLY - THE LSBU UNIT PASS MARK REMAINS THE SAME.

Well done ACCA, well done. Have you crazy ass bastards finally realized the pain and torture you've been putting us through??? I can't believe passing mark has gone down to 30% with an overall of 40%! This is like Christmas time for us accounting students :) Not like i've ever gone below the 35% threshold, but i've got exams coming up (next week, ah!!!) and final year to go through, so...there's still plenty of room for a fuck up :/ But lets not go there. Thinking negatively is BAD. Aim for a high mark ALWAYS and you'll land somewhere not far from it. Something he always tells me :) If I keep passing the ACCA mark for each unit, I will get the 9 exemptions I need for my ACCA exams. This means I will only have to do 5 more extra ACCA papers after my degree when THERE ARE ACTUALLY 14 ACCA PAPERS. Do you see the difference between 5 papers and 14 papers? So this is the real reason why I can be a bit of a psychotic freak when it comes to work. Revision has been good. I've decided to only leave out 1 of the topics, meaning...i've decided to study all except one topic so hopefully that will put me in a very good position. I don't know, lets pray and hope for the best :)

I missed the SATC premiere :/ Bummed but I did have my reasons. I still plan on catching the movie some time in the next two weeks anyhow, so life is still peachy. Moss and Shortie - joining?

I feel like cooking :) Cooking makes me happy:) I wanna make a peach pie but I need an oven. A clean oven :) Not BH's oven, thats just naysteh mayn.

Wow...my hormones just took complete control over my post! Gah. Gotta get back to studying :)

Sigh, sigh + more sighs.

Can't wait for detox period. I haven't smoked a cigarette in days, and I think this is my time to quit.................................. :) Jogging with my...trainer in the sun all day long :) If he doesn't call me a poser than he's definitely got the job! I will be his next big project - he claims my arms and stomach and legs will be toned enough for a bikini. HAH. HAH. HAH. I think he just called me fat.

Update: I just realised I put my age as 20 instead of 21. I've become one of those people who don't keep up with their age anymore. Gah, what's happening to me, help :/ I'm old :/ Can I be 20 again? :(

2008-05-11T05:11:00.000-07:00

As promised...

May I present to you Chicken Katsu!

I liked this better than my Honey Garlic Chicken, but the tweenuses did not eat as much as I would've liked them to... :/

2008-05-09T04:47:00.000-07:00

I'm running out of time!!! The 23rd is near!!! Goodbye for now :) :) :)

Btw. Studying for FMC has been a complete blast. Law on the other hand is a real bitch!!! How am I supposed to find the time and patience to read, memorize, write, read, memorize, write, oh my good god! I think I should get one of my lawyer sisters to sit through my law exam for me, muahahahahahahahahahahaha. They would do it because they love me :')

Me like numbers.
Me no like words.

2008-05-06T04:37:00.001-07:00

I love the weather!!! It's hahhhhhhhhhhhhht!!!

Currently at uni, trying to print my 1,000,000,000,000 past papers. Sent it to the printer and what does it tell me - tray empty. The bloody help desk is out to lunch so what am I suppose to do now? Huh?

Anyhoos i'm loving my current ipod playlist. Very summery :) Makes me wanna drive!!! Speaking of driving, Moss, please keep up with us and get yourself a car like the three of us (shortie, pintis and I) have. I'll show you our family parking spot. It's sexy!

2. Run the Show - Kat DeLuna (I love Kat!!!)
3. Thre's Nothing - Sean Kingston feat. Paula Deanda (although I like the Juelz Santana and The D.E.Y version better.
4. Love in this Club Remix - Usher and Beyonce (got this from E :p)
5. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk (this one too :) great beat!!)
6. Boyfriend Girlfriend - C-Side feat. Keyshia Cole
7. Lucky - Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat

Happy downloading :)

Off to class! Toodles

2008-05-05T03:21:00.000-07:00

For Shortie...

I was right. Everything I bought online and in store I have to return. Sizes can be a real bitch sometimes ya know? Anyway, I've resorted to something that has made me a helluva lot happier - cooking! :D

Either the two of them were being way too kind...

...or they really did enjoy my HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN :D

This can't be a long post as I'm back into geek mode! Exams are less than 3 weeks away, aaaaaaaAaAaAhhhh... :/ But I promise, the next time I've got free time on my hands (whenever that may be) I will definitely be giving CHICKEN KATSU a go in the kitch! I shit you not and Moss, u better be here this time! *scowls*

There I posted. I hope you appreciate this :) *slams a 10 pounder note on the table*

2008-05-01T01:21:00.001-07:00

I LOVE Jay Sean's new vid (check it out under GOODIES&OTHERS)! HAHHT.

Wow, i've been blogging alot. I'm getting way too jobless for my liking.

I got a little head start on shopping and just bought the LAST French Connection sequin dress they had available on the website. I would stick a pic of it but it's not up on the website anymore (it was listed out of stock after I placed my order) so um... *scratches head* I guess i'll take a pic when I wear it :D GRINS. Please don't let this be another one of those things I have to return, I want it to FITTT gurrrl.

Btw, ASOS had some fantab sequin dresses. I bookmarked them all!!! But the problem with clearance is that there is never the right size left! Grr. I love shiny things :) Glitter and sequin, bring it on!

Check this out...

Weather's gonna be scorching this weekend :D I love it!!! Me and HIM plan to go shopping to get a sexy suit for his grad! Speaking of him...Gotta go clean his room. Poor soul's been working too hard and I don't think i've made it any easier for him by turning his room into a shit hole. Moss you are in Soton so Shortie, please feel free to join us this weekend! We'll get ben and jerrys! :)

P.S. Hello 1st May :)

Life in Lomo

2008-04-30T07:01:00.000-07:00

Just got out of my last law sem and I cant wait for my final FMC seminar to be over next week! I will be TOTAHLY classless after next week - this is so alien to me :D

Anyway, forget class. My minds been on nothing but holidays lately, and a great holiday always equals to great pictures! So we agreed to take at least two memory cards to Amsterdam (some of us - including myself - are taking 3!!!) but I thought I'd go the extra mile and get myself lomographic cameras! I emphasise the S in cameraSSS because I plan on getting not one, but deux!!! They are totally affordable and turn pictures into something more than what they really are! I CAN'T WAIT. This will be great for not only Amsterdam but New York too, where everything is so pretty and colorful! 1st of May, please come sooner? :)

Lomo Action Sampler KIT 135 mm Camera - This is super cheap and so so cool!!!

Lomo Lomography Fisheye Fish Eye 2 Compact 35mm camera - A little pricey but STILL affordable. Below £50! And its a lomo must have!

There are so much more to choose from, but these two are the two that I definetly want! I just showed these to HIM and he totally just snickered in my face. Yeah, you wont be laughing as much when you see what great things I'll do with them.

Shortie, you support me on this right? Like how I support your plan to design beaded bags? Moss, what about you? :/ Btw, please tag me, you two are the only ones that come here - please don't let that change. Hee :D

Hi Sushi on Friday - Oh I can't wait!

Late Nite Shopping

2008-04-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Belated Birthday to my beloved Daddy, aka the warmest, kindest, and nicest man to walk this earth. Your hard work has made 4 women THE happiest they could ever be and it will take a lifetime to show how much we appreciate having you as our dad! There is no one out there as loving as you, thank you for everything you've given and done for us - I love you Daddy Met!!!

*sniff* I'm gonna need a moment...

ANYHOOS...

After 2, 3 months of absolute TORTURE, I am finally going SHOPPING. Yes, I've been couped up indoors since the day I was given my assignments back in Feb and after a whole weekend of SLEEPING (which has never felt so good in my life), I am finally fully awake and ready to take on the world!!! Oxford Street, here I come baby!!!

Unfortunately, I will be having a 3-5 lecture Thurs afternoon which is whyyyyy... I plan on doing a little late night shopping. Thank you London for making Thursdays such a wonderful day of the week :') I spotted a few things online (this is what I do when I'm jobless) which I hope hope hope to get my hands on! If my eyes fail to score me these outfits on Thursday night, I will have to resort to a little online shopping *smiles*.

Casual:
(P.S. I Love ~~You~~ Ruffles!!!)

Formal:

Dashing!

Speaking of which, I can't wait for my Keeping up with the Kardashians series to be completed!!! Toodles for now :)

Carried Away (:

2008-04-24T03:55:00.000-07:00

Now that I am temporarily free again, I can finally take a moment to breath, relax, and wait (excitedly) for the SATC movie!!!!!!!! Oh I can't wait, I can't wait sniff :')

28 May, 28 May, 28 May :D :D :D

Speaking of which, check out Fergie's song Labels or Love which is the official theme song for the movie. It should be the theme song for all women! I'm lovvvvvin it! It's actually got a really cute remixed beat of the original Sex and City instrumental introduction. A definite ringtoner, this one :D I've gotta say, i'm not much of a Fergie fan but her tracks almost never fail to impress me. Nay bad Fergie. Nay bad at all.

P.S. How do I decide which to kill first. The giant rat living in my room, or the giant zit living on my......face :/

Taking a Breather

2008-04-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

Finally, got ONE out of TWO courseworks out of the way. Now. Time for the fun stuff :) Checked out our Amsterdam apartment and now i'm even more excited! Tickets been bought, accomodation's been sorted - this is for real!

The apartment

The dining room

The gorgeous living room with a door access to the balcony!

The kitchen

Bedroom (:

Finally, the view!

I can't wait! *jumps up and down!!!*

But first... *inserts many many many sighs here*, gotta get through my last coursework and my two exams. Oh loh, it hurts :/ Back to loser life. So until then...ciao.

Just Purchased!

...On the Ipod... Cherish feat. Young Joc - Killa...

Took a break from work and treated myself to this!

Sexxxy! Not looking forward to my bank statement but......this makes me happy - I love it! x

Summer Days

2008-03-31T04:44:00.000-07:00

...On the Ipod... Bob Marley - Could This Be Love...

I can't help it. My coursework is nowhere close to being done and I am doing everything I shouldn't be doing - everything but work.

Budget for April is not looking good! Besides the yummy hot weather I long for during those painful months of puffing up in layers, summer is only the best time to rock the hottest outfits. I pay no attention to bills as I do to rent – I think of retail therapy. And since I am planning on a short summer trip, I’ve got to put aside some bread for my plane ticket and 4 days worth of cute outfits to dazzle in! Yes everyone, I am going to beautiful Amsterdam to soak up the sun this June. The pictures are breathtaking, I am sooo excited! What a perfect way to kick off summer before hitting fashion capital aka home, New York City! At the moment I am hunting for the perfect summer dress. Something floral, something feminine, something with ruffles! It’s almost impossible for someone like me to pinpoint just one (I want them all!), but this is one is definitely a winner on my list.

Welcome to my site! Inspired by my daily marathons of Sex and the City where life revolves around Manolo Blahniks - hence the title Sole Searching. Enjoy and come back often (:

By the way... Don't you just adore the layout? I love it! It's so sexy. So empowering!

Now back to work...

Happy Birthday Madre

2008-03-30T07:21:00.000-07:00

To the strongest woman I know, the queen of my heart, the one I love most - my best wishes to you on your birthday...

I hope you get everything you've ever wanted and wished for because you have given me everything and more since the day I was born. Happy birthday! I love you mamabear! x
