Wintery European expedition!


Sooo greetings everyone,

I am going to eastern Europe for part of my winter break!
I'm soo excited!
It's been (counting...) almost 4 1/2 years since the last time I went to Europe.
(I hit the typical tourists spots... Paris, London...etc.)
This time around I'm going to visit eastern Europe which is a completely different experience.
I'm hoping I'll have a legit camera then so I can take amazing pictures.
I will definitely keep everyone updated.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying these pictures very much :) :)

I love the little buddha stand holding up the shoes. Simply amazing...
I love the idea of chalkboard paint and this makes it even better!!!

Cheers,
Alice

Money Money Money

Hey everyone,

I've been super busy as could can tell from my lack of posts.

Things I'm doing:
I'm trying to keep up in class...
I'm trying to restructure my clubs so that it'll have room for improvement..
I'm trying to fulfill all of my club responsibilities...
I'm working on a business plan.. (which is taking a long time because of all of the logistics...)
I'm working at a new job...
I have a lot of papers and prelims left this next week...

Things I really want to do:
I want to paint more
I want to open my Etsy shop
I want to find furniture and give them makeovers
I want to blog more often

It's just a shame that everything collides with each other and I don't have the time to do everything.

However, I guess that's part of life that I'll have to learn how to balance it out.

If there are any art pieces you have seen that you want to purchase from me please fell free to shoot me an email. I'll will get back to you asap ^_^

Cheers,
Alice

One is nothing without her friends.

I've been having some stressful times...
So I'm going to take the time to thank my friends for helping me through it all...
For listening to me vent about ridiculous things...
For giving me great advice and inspiration...
For not judging me...
And for being dependable so I can let myself open up...




Make sure you take a moment today to realize how lucky you are to have amazing friends...
Reminisce on the good times and hope to make more memories ^_^

Cheers,
Alice

Darn media...

I enjoy being single... I really do...
I'm young, learning, and have a lot of dreams for the future.
However, it is difficult to keep that mentality 100% of the time...
I recently watched Fame ...
it was pretty entertaining (I love musicals!)...
Like your typical movie, there's a couple (in high school though) that breaks up and gets back together and love conquers all... That definitely pulled some heart strings.

However, the media and society needs to back off on the idea that love is made up of two halves...
That one person "completes" the other...

It's suppose to be two whole individuals (with their own lives and interests) that happen to be together.. who happen to experience life together .... happily
That one person should complement the other

Like PB & J... each are good on their own...
PB can be eaten with chocolate... bananas... pretzels...
J can be eaten with cake... crumpets... crackers...

But when they're together they're great! It doesn't mean that from now on I will only eat PB or J with just PB&J sandwiches.. they have other parts of their lives to live....

Just a thought that has been bothering me for awhile.

What do you think about it?

Cheers,
Alice
