Day Before Halloween

I decided to really dress up this halloween. I mean like actually be something and just have fun. I decided on a costume in 5 mins and bought the stuff I need in 10. I had very limited options but I do get really creative in order for things to go my way. I also didn't want to spend too much on a costume from a store that is really cheap and cannot be worn again. I am a thrifty person and I take it seriously.

For example: my brother. He wanted to be "The Spirit" for his halloween school dance. So I began scavenging for items. Here are the stuff that I got and what they cost me:
1. Red tie- got it from Ko:FREE
2. Black pants- He has one in his closet:FREE
3. Black buttoned shirt-Borrowed it from Oat:FREE
4. Black detective cape- got it from Ko: FREE
5. Fedora hat- this one I had to get it from a store but: $12, pretty good deal!
6. Mask- also from a store: $2

So the grand total is: $14 plus tax

Ko's costume: Mad Hatter
1. White inside shirt- gift from his momma: FREE
2. Striped jacket- had it for a while: counts as FREE
3. Crazy bow tie- gift from daddy: FREE
4. Top Hat- bought it from store: $15
5. Flowers + Ribbon- $16

So the grand total is: $31 plus tax

Not too shabby yeah?

So for mine...I don't want to spill it even though I'm too excited!

Here is just a preview of it...

Little Miss Obssessive

Okay, I have to admit that Ashlee Simpson does not even belong in my radar of good singers. But what the F! Her songs and lyrics are just great. If only she did not sing her songs...




Perfect song, I think, when i fall for someone...hard! Yes, like I have said repeatedly before, I have this nature to be obssessive. Crazy! I am not kidding... maybe that's why the world has not made me fall inlove coz of this sole reason. I am dangerous when inlove. sighs...

Do You Wanna Be On Top?

So last night was relaxing. I had a sort of odd day at work and the TV and the couch is just what I needed... Well, along with the loads of laundry I have to finish folding. You know, doing laundry is my most hated chore to do. It seems like it takes forever! First you separate the clothes into colors, towels, denim etc. Then you put it in the washing machine. It takes a while and you have to wait. Then you transfer it to the dryer while you put in the next load if you do have one. Then once everything is dry, you fold them. Last is putting them each in their place. I would rather wash dishes all day or sweep the floor or something.

Anyway, so I was watching one of my guiltiest pleasure America's Next Top Model. Yeah, I feel embarassed to admit that I watch skinny girls make a fool out of themselves. But my favorite part, the one I fast-forward to since I tivo it are the finished product. The final pictures! Yeah, sometimes they look crazy or out of their minds but those that actually look good? It just gives me inspiration. Now I sound tacky. But seriously... It was a perfect end to my night... along with a handful of Bliss white chocolates!

Now im not an insomniac but I do sleep at 12 most nights. I just cannot put my system to sleep before that time. It's weird. I just watch whatever I recorded and it will go on and on. I need to be more productive at night. I just dont know what else to do. I should start making a list or something. sighs...

Ah...Fall is here

As I stepped out this morning, on the way to warm up my car, I just knew... fall has finally arrived. Its the months before actual winter are the ones I adore. The cool air without losing the bright rays of sunshine. It is simply divine! I love talking about the weather coz it somehow affects my mood too. Summer is when I am usually cranky and uninspired whereas fall is full of beautiful imagery that makes me want to start painting on a canvas. Although I can never really paint nor draw... you get the picture. What can I say, the climate really does wonders for me. It even reminds me of movies that I've watched.

That's my life, full of movies. I do believe that I live in a movie. If my life was a movie it would probably not be in the blockbusters section nor would it be in the science fiction. I'm assuming it would automatically be in the dark comedy/indie films. My life is simple and surprisingly humorous even with the downfalls of my life. It has nothing very big or unbelievable but it is full of real-life problems and solutions, beginnings and endings... Now I wonder who can play me? I will just go out on a limb and say, ZOOEY DESCHANEL! I know it's impossible and we don't look anything alike: she's gorgeous and I'm.... me. But i love her quirkiness and her laid-back-I-sound-drunk-and-breathless voice.

Going back to the weather... I need to get me some sweaters preferably the ones with colors. I dont like to look dead or a dried twig in this season. Also, I just washed my gray sweater and it fucking shrinked! or shrunk??? whatevs... It's my favorite one too. It's one of those pieces of clothing where I can wear with anything or anytime. This sucks... I usually stick to sweaters since it's hard to find an everyday jacket. I hope I don't sound like a dumb shopaholic person, coz i really am not, but i got a bargain on purple tights! They were so cheap like $7. So i got a patterned black one and a purple one. I am really planning on wearing dresses even with this chilly weather cause i have tons! Its just that I impulsively buy dresses that look good on me and then I choose denim pants and a shirt. So I better not let those go to waste this time and the tights will help big time.

Maybe this year I will go all out and be pretty, coz i really am. (har har) You know... I guess if I want a decent guy, I can't just wait and sit around right? I should showcase ME! Just not too desperate looking but appropriate and open.

sighs... Fall is definitely here.
