Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour









My friends picked me up at my house around 10PM and drove off without one word as to where we were going. I was clueless the entire ride until we got there. I guess they wanted to experience Farrell's birthday celebration as well as receive the free icecream sundae... So they dragged me there and told the worker that it was my birthday and man, the workers at Farrell's sure know how to embarrass people. My friends were sitting infront of me cracking up the entire time. Those little brats. 
Overall, though, it was an interesting experience and on top of the icecream sundae we received (thanks to my friends), we ordered the Icecream Nachos and it was absolutely delicious. 

Apartment Warming Gifts











My suitemates and I last year decided that we were going to get some cheap apartment warming gifts for eachother. So, after seeing this idea on pinterest, I got to work (with the help of my bestfriend who decided to make one for her apartmentmate too).
Directions:
1. Buy a mug (Got ours at the Dollar Tree for a dollar each)
2. Draw/ write a cute design/ saying with a plain ol' sharpie
3. Plop them into the oven at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes
4. Leave em out to cool (cus they get hot!)
5. Wrap em up and there!- the perfect present
(These are supposed to be washable after putting them in the oven but we shall see about that. *Fingers crossed.)

I wrote the first letter of everyone name on the front of the mug and a saying "She loves her *enter favorite drink here*) while Angeline wrote on both her and her apartmentmate's mug "We love our tea". Both turned out to be very very cute!

Meet my bestfriend.






So this is my bestfriend. Her name is Angeline aka Angie. We have spent almost everyday of this summer together yet we still manage to tell eachother we miss eachother during the hours that we spend apart. We always have the best of times, even if we're spending countless seconds- minutes- hours at the grocery store in the middle of the night because we have nothing better to do with our lives. 
These are pictures from a brunch we had in Downtown Fullerton a couple weeks back at a small restaurant called Rialto Cafe. We decided to share a side of the Potato salad with a Caprese Panini which seemed extremely simple but turned out to be absolutely delicious. And of course we left the cafe, telling eachother that we are going to try making that 'simple' panini when we get back home- words coming from cooking virgins. We were actually supposed to cook/ bake once a week before school started again so we can learn to make our own food at our respective new apartments, but that really didn't quite work out. Oh well, maybe I'll post pictures from our one of few baking/ cooking attempts this summer, next. "Baking/ Cooking with noobs"- but that's what makes it fun, right? ;)


Rebel T3i

Canon EOS Rebel T3i/ EOS 600D

My long awaited very own DSLR has finally been delivered to me today! I've actually been tracking the package since the day I ordered it. When I found out it was to be shipped out and delivered to me today, I woke up super giddy and I waited eagerly looking out my window every time I heard a car drive by. Yes, I am a loser. But it was partly because I was excited to go shooting today to learn some tips from my friend Michelle. Unfortunately, the package came at 8 in the evening when I was all bummed out from waiting at home all day. Needless to say, I am beyond excited and I cannot wait to start exploring all of it's functions : ).

Collector's Item: Wrist Watch

On my bucket list: start a collection of affordable watches to pair with my outfits

These adorable floral watches would be the perfect accessory to a cute spring outfit

I am seriously a sucker for these corny lines/jokes/symbolisms (or whatever you call it). It says "Once upon a time" on a watch that's telling time! After a minute passes of looking at the watch, it becomes a "once upon a time". Haha! Love it

Not really understanding this mustache phase but seriously lovin the stretchy band on this cute gold-tone metal watch




Ooh, these are a little different. Love how they're multifunctional: a chunky bracelet and a watch!

Ok, I'll admit, some of these are a little on the pricier end, but jeez, a d o r a b l e
