<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I was thinking of a good title for this post and the word </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Procrastination</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> keeps on coming up my head. Procrastination - it is the avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished. It could be further stated as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite its negative consequences. See, this is me for the past ten years. A decade ago I have this idea (or goals ) of starting my own online/physical thrift shop, keeping a blog, learning how to use a sewing machine, how to knit, play the guitar (over again), speak Spanish (bec, Gael Garcia Bernal). Those did not happen. New year, new ideas and most of the time resources/opportunities are there. It was all just me. I get caught up with life and that should not be an excuse because everybody does! I keep telling myself that if x and z are able to do it, why can't I? I know, it's cliche. My people keep telling me that I have my own path, my own circumstances and that I shouldn't compare myself to others. Each journey is unique. Right. These have been my shield for not following through with my plans.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">So now, here I am slowly, well, more of aggressively picking up where I left off. I checked the last time I wrote here and it was ages ago (six years to be exact). I mean, I love writing and this should come out naturally (I hope!). I love keeping and documenting memories because I want to go through them when I'm old and I'm with my Ninjas and their own little ninjas - now this thought makes me *giddy*. Lastly, I love sharing my thoughts and experiences because I love knowing other people's thoughts and experiences too! I get a kick everytime there's a "shit-you-too?" moment! You know what I mean. :) So, welcome (once again) to this little corner. Fix yourself a cuppa and make yourself at home. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">♥</span><br />

This is another 'Lagare' post. Remember my first <a href="http://astoldbyana.blogspot.com/2012/11/lagare.html" target="_blank">post</a> about it? I first went to my close friend's wedding at Mt. Carmel church. She assigned my to be the Psalmist, which was kind of like a big deal for me. Got there -- well... not really on time because we got lost on the way plus Le Mister's iphone wasn't that much helpful with giving us directions. But I was able to make it and do my job -- so. It was such a wonderful wedding. I wish I could have taken pretty pictures to show. Both the bride and groom were teary eyed the whole time, they listened intently to the priest's sermon which was not boring at all -- he gave insightful thoughts about marriage. Suits. The wedding lasted for about 2 hours. It was around 3PM when we had our photo op with the newly weds. I told Kyla and Eds ( both close friends) that I'm heading to Eastwood because the show starts at 4PM --- took a cab, got there around 3:30PM -- no traffic -- sweeep.<br />

When I arrived at Eastwood, Le Mister already bought the shirt for me --- he got me a size XS --- which fit just fine! wehw! As we went inside, waiting for the band , you can really feel the crowd so anxious to see The Ataris. I thought : man, been listening to them for 10 years and I am FINALLY going to see them live! see them sing the songs I used to belt my heart out! --ok that was a little exaggerated. My good friend Raul came over too! which made it a whole lotta fun! and we got to see familiar faces as well. I just don't understand why some people would prefer to take tonsa pictures -- blurry ones even! rather than sing along with the band and enjoy the show! I'm like -- man., you're missing the whole point! take one picture and then do yourself a favor and enjoy the freaking show! But that's just me. Oh! and they did not play the Saddest Song --which made me kinda upset -- but well... it's all good. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After the awesome show, we met up with Billie ( le mister's sister ). They were suppose to see the show too but got there a little late. Billie was with her bestie -- She and her other friend Kat. We went to this Mexican place called Agave -- they have this bottomless Margarita and we're GO! ordered some nachos and some other food that I can't recall. We started drinking at 6PM ,got out of the place around 9PM ,so well -- that's 3 solid hours of bottomless Margarita , Mexican food and a whole lot of chit-chats. I always love hanging out at Eastwood. It's clean, very orderly and the crowd's quite nice. Oh...and I kissed Bumblebee -- just because. Fun night.</div>

It started with a conversation that went like this:<br />
E : hey guess what 2 big things are coming up this month<br />
A : ?<br />
E : Sinulog...<br />
A: what's the other one? oh. The Ataris?<br />
E : your birthday<br />
A : oh right.<br />
E : so The Ataris coming over is bigger than your birthday?<br />
A : I guess...<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
A : I guess with having 2 ninjas changes my perspective of things. Like I'm super grateful for another year , but I think imna have to keep it low key this year ... nothing fancy.<br />
<br />
Then I realized, I've changed! am I getitng old? am I? I remember how I'm a big fan of blowing birthday candles. Last year I had a friend who made me cupcakes and we had dinner at home , le mister cooked and we got drunk -- like it was a big thing.<br />
<br />
This what went down during my 27th birthday. It started the night before, we had a few beer, popcorn and watched 50/50 (yet again) on Starmovies. Le mister wanted to wait for midnight so he can greet me first and then he posted this on his IG feed : <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Beer, Popcorn & Movie time with the birthday girl. Love you booboo..</span><br />

<br />
I messaged with my Pop, and he remembered my age! I haven't seen him in like forever so imagine how happy I was when he remembered how old I am. That morning I got kisses from Le Ninjas. Both were super behave the entire day because I kept telling them it's my birthday.<br />

<br />
The night was spent with some goody good friends whom I haven't seen for a long time. Rhea was going back to SG where she works the day after so I met up with her along with 2 other friends. She asked if I wanted a cake and I said I'll skip it because it's fattening. Hah! After some catching up at Starbucks we ambushed some of our close friends at our previous work -- good thing they were all there! ...and well --- did tonsa of catching up -- yet again , laughed til we could not breathe and took tonsa pictures.<br />

I've been reading and stalking blogs since 2009. Wait, I think that just sounds creepy. It's just that I don't really bother to hit the 'follow' button, the only blog I do follow is my <a href="http://rottennuke.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bestie's</a> and that's just because I genuinely have to follow her adventure -- she just hops from one place to another, gets caught up with her dreams of becoming a great surfer (she's already a good surfer) and Facebook just doesn't seem to suffice.<br />
<br />
I do have a long list of blogs on my bookmarks folder entitled Blogs I Heart. I am really having a hard time to narrow it down to just ten blogs, but I guess these are the blogs I know by heart and my day just would not be complete without checking out an entry or two.<br />
<br />
Here goes:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/" target="_blank">bleubirdvintage</a> - I always enjoy her 'what we wore' post with her whole family.<br />

I got to watch this movie while having my break from doing a sh*t load of laundry. Le Ninjas weren't watching cartoons so I switched the channel over to Star Movies. Sadly, I wasn't able to start the film -- it was about half of the movie when I saw it but I'll definitely watch it again. Nonetheless , I had a good cry over this one especially when the guy ,Adam was about to go to his surgery and that music was playing -- it just... it just reminded me of my little brother -- thas all. Anyhooooser, here are my fave stills from the movie. Google didn't really have that much. But...here you go.<br />

<b>Planning :</b> To blog some more. Write some more. Take pictures some more. Explore other genre / music -- some more.<br />
<br />
<b>Thinking about : </b>What I really ... really want to do for the rest of my life. Last time I was in my hometown , I got to talk with sensible people who , for the lack of a better term, has their shit together. I don't know. I don't wanna say -- I don't know , but I've been saying it for the nth time now -- it's over used. I'm still trying to figure things out -- hopefully ,come my birthday I'd be brave enough to make that decision and focused enough to fulfill 'em. *worried*<br />
<br />
<b>Reading :</b> I don't have my list together yet. But I am planning to read 12 books this year. Last year -- I also aimed for 12 only got to finish ,uuhhh... 5? <br />
<br />
<b>Making me happy</b> : the fact the all my loved ones and friends and their loved ones are all healthy , no sickness as of yet. I am hoping all of us will be healthier this year , especially the Ninjas. Aaaaannd this plan for September -- I know it's waaaay waaaay far but the thought of being excited about something makes me giddy all the time -- it's gon be a new adventure.<br />

I have been feeling real empty right now. It's as if half of me misses the other half -- does that makes sense? If you ask me --- if you are allowed to bring only one thing with you to a far off place -- what would that be ... I'd answer my <b><i>music player</i></b> in a heart beat. I've had that IpodTouch 2nd gen for a solid 3 years , it was given to me by my sister --- Shin before she left. She bought it on her first salary while working in a call center -- hah! I really didn't mind if it was outdated at all! I only use it to enjoy my music and well...check on my email if there's wifi. During my last night in Cebu it got stolen/lost along with my purse. Not gon go into details. Anyhoooser, as a tribute to my lost buddy, here's Top 10 music/video that's playing on repeat the last few days I've had it.

December went by so fast. I know ...I know... everybody has heard that LAME excuse a gazillion times now. But seriously. It did. It caught up on me. There were plans/goals I wasn't able to achieve. Sucks. Good thing I did not mention it to anyone. Even to Le mister or to Le ninjas --- a little secret --- sometimes, when I wanna do something and I really am planning to do it and I can't keep it to meself --- I tell it to Tryst -- my 5 year old kiddo , and he'd be like OK...so when are you going to do it? can I help you? Lol. My little secret keeper.<br />

Why hello there! it's been awhile. Don't get me started. This'll be quick as I have a gazillion things to do. I was cramming for our company's year end party like I always do. Only one day left til the event and I don't have any outfit yet. It's a Masquerade themed party, right -- like we have to wear a gown OR at least something formal --- some girls at work , had it all figured out, others rely on rentals and I'm like ...nah.. I'll be OK -- I'll be able to find everything at 'ukay' which I always do -- at least 94% of the time. Anyhooser, so after my Thursday shift , I went to one of my fave ukay spot. They were having a sale at that time. Looking ...looking...looking. Couldn't find any. Well. there's this box of items for 10 pesos. Digging... digging...digging and I scored 5 scarves and a cute kid's apron. I was about to check out when I saw this rack that holds 30% off tops. Lo and behold! I found a Marc by Marc Jacobs shirt -- I've seen the print like 2 years ago on some bags, I didn't know it has a shirt version of it. Next one I saw was an Orla Kiely black top. My style muse, <a href="http://www.everydayelsie.com/" target="_blank">Elsie Larson</a> used to blog about her a LOT, and she's one of her favorite designers too! So imagine my face when I tried the top on and it fits me perfectly. It's Orla Kiely and Marc Jacobs all in one day. Overwhelming? For sure.<br />
<br />

<br />
And here's moi...wearing the Orla Kiely top at the office after our Year-end party. Oh! and that red scarf was one those 10 pesos finds. hehe.<br />

I can't, for the life of me, remember where I've seen these pretty images ... but I am mighty sure that majority of these were taken from--- <a href="http://brightredhoodie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nadyne</a> x <a href="http://mackink.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Karey</a> --- two awesome blogs that I sorely adore. </div>

October 27,2012 --- I know. I'm so bad at keeping track but let me just share what happened on this day and I can't even believe how I managed to enjoy every minute of it!<br />
<br />
Saturday was considered as a Friday shift --- mine was from 4:00am to 1:00pm, did my usual routine --monitoring calls, catching up with emails etc. Saturday usually isn't that busy and tiring since it's the last shift for the week. My officemates we're planning to hit karaoke, I passed because I was on to some mommy duties that afternoon.<br />

So after work --- I head straight to Mega Mall for Cartoon Network's Heroes Hunt. My sister in law told me about the event -- she was the one who bought the head pieces for Finn and Jake. The Ninjas went as Finn and Jake, along with their pretty cousin, Destiny who dressed up as Princess Bubblegum.<br />

We had so much fun at the event. We met some familiar Ben 10 aliens and other kids that're dressed up as Adventure Time characters, there was even a Marceline! -- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was jealous</span>. We weren't able to visit every booth only because some of them ran out of prizes and there were way too many kids and parents. I can really say that some parents were far more excited than their kiddos --- which was kind of cool. Almost three hours later, the Ninjas were ready to go home.<br />
<br />
And you think that was it. Lucky for me, I have the coolest set of in laws ever! specially my mother in law -- she knows how we love to hang out and eat and drink beer together so she treated us to an Octoberfest event at a hotel where they usually spend their weekends at. So we checked in. Had dinner. Hang out for a bit with the kiddos and watched some horror films -- Kuya TX cried a LOT ...and Trey was like just cool. I fell asleep for like 15 or 20 minutes beside kuya TX. Le husband woke me up and said that we're heading to the event. I freshened up a bit --- was too tired to put on some make up --- wore a maroon dress versus a scarf --- hair down and I was set.<br />

We finished at around 4:00am. Kuya TX woke up around 6:00am because he wanted to swim so I got up and took him and Ate Des for a quick swim at the pool. We played a little at the playground. Went back to our hotel room -- Trey and his Papa are still sleeping. We head to Koi Restaurant for their breakfast buffet. Head back to the room and chill for a bit with the rest.<br />
<br />
Finally ... went home.<br />
Le mister went out to skate.<br />
Spent the rest of the Sunday afternoon on our cozy bed cuddling with my Ninjas.<br />
What a weekend.<br />
Right...the title? Lagare --- that was the 'word of the day' for me and that's exactly what I did that Saturday. Lagare, it's a Tagalog term a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;">s an adjective, it is synonymous to "having a hectic schedule" or "being busy". </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee;">One should never be too busy specially if it's for their family , definitely family. </span></span></div>

<br />
Hello there! So today I am sharing another category or entry or segment ( I honestly don't have a word for it -- or can't figure out which to use) I used to have on my Tumblr -- <br />
<br />
Anyhoo,you ever have that experience where you see a movie and it's just too relatable and unforgettable and you just can't find the right words /phrase to describe it to your friends and then you'd just end up naming some actors that're in it and then you'll just tell them ---- you just got to see it. Yeah ..that ..happens to me all the time. I am bad at reviews and I really don't pay too much attention to technicalities and what not so I figured what better way to share my favorite movies than with pictures on 'em , favorite lines from the movie and lastly the trailer. I think I've already featured more than 5 movies on my Tumblr that are just charming.<br />
<br />
So I saw this movie on HBO one sunny morning in the comfort of our home. TX was at school at that time and Trey was busy playing so I got the TV all to myself. I was surfing the channel and I was curious on why HBO would air an Asian Film -- little did I know this is the first Chinese-language Asian film ever from Warner Bros. The movie really didn't have such memorable lines in it but what struck me the most is the poem recited and translated by Leung ( the female protagonist ) it's called <strong><em>Love at First Sight </em></strong>by famous Polish poet -- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wis%C5%82awa_Szymborska" title="Wisława Szymborska">Wisława Szymborska</a> and it goes --- <br />

Hey! how was your weekend? mine was just down right awesome. I got a text from my dear friend Chaynee asking me if I wanted to go 'thrifting' with her. She was already out , went to Divisoria to score some wigs for her Little Twin Stars -- oh, that's what she calls her babies -- Dumpling and Calel, charming ,don't you think?<br />
<br />
Anyhooo, I head out after lunch with my boys -- we got some barbecue and Le Mister cooked sinigang --- sarap! Took a train to Gateway and met Chaynee at Anonas station. And off we went! Before we went upstairs to check the shop that was on sale, we stopped by this little ukay store, they had some 3 for 100 racks --mind you , 'the rack' that I am talking about holds nice and gorgeous tops and dresses and bags and stuff . I wasn't up for more clothes but I saw this black/maroon hoodie that reminds me of <b>Marceline of Adventure Time</b> so I got it anyway. So as I was checking more items ,Chaynee was at the shoes section and she pointed those boots that were like a hundred fifty, I was like meh . I was lazily checking some more shoes ..and then .<b>.lo and behold</b> ( <b>FACT</b>: whenever I say 'lo and behold' trust me ... it's a <i>TREASURE lo and behold item</i> -- whatever that means ) I saw the this saddle shoes that really caught my eye! I couldn't contain my self when I saw it and Chaynee was like Ana! that's so you! I've been meaning to score one for, what, 2 years now? and it's one of those things that you really really liked and searched high and low for some cheap ones out there -- I even had my sister DIYed me one some 2 years ago because I just couldn't splurge on those kinds of shoes and just recently, <b>Elsie</b> ( favorite blogger of all time) scored some new saddle shoes. I was like yeah, I'll pass. It'll come and IT DID! out of the blue it did! it was like Christmas and birthday all together! hah! well -- that was a little exaggerated.<br />
<br />
So back to the shoes -- it was 400, Chaynee was like -- 'ask for the last price' . I smiled at the attendant and said ' how much po yung last price, Ate?' The Ate knew that I really liked it said '350 and last price na yan' pfffftt.... 'di pwedeng 300?' I replied and she instantly said NO. I went 'Ok, 350 including this hoodie?' Ate: OK. haha! scored! I paid it straight away thinking she would change her mind. I was ready to go home and leave Chaynee! -- joke. So we went upstairs and I saw the exact same saddle shoes but this time it's for men that was on half off! I thought of Le Mister but maybe he wouldn't want us to be matchy2x and all -- but it would be cute too, don't you think? =p So I just took a picture of it. Chaynee scored some nice stuff and I got 2 dresses -- the other one was even brand new that's got a $79.90 price tag on it. Hah!<br />

work and she picked up the ninjas along with her daughter for a play date.</span></div>

So far, these 2 are definitely staying on that future coffee table. Best part is? They’re only 32php each, spotted them in a random bookstore – I’m hoping I can find the rest of the Simpsons – that’d be awesome, don’t you think?</span>

There was a time when I was so into Jessica Zafra – love her Twisted books – uhhh..Forgot the number but it’s the one with movie reviews.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; text-align: left;">Haruki Murakami – now, these books are extremely special to me. The first H.Murakami book I have was the Blind Willow Sleeping Woman it was gifted to me by a dear friend—and I love all the stories in it. The second one was South of the Border West of the Sun – I bought it myself. Third, After the Quake which was given by my sister, Shin – she used to teach English to some Korean kids and when she left for Netherlands her student gave this book to her – she didn’t quite understand (or liked) the book so I asked it from her – Last one is the Elephant Vanishes that was given by my mom – she loved the book and wanted me to keep it.</span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really thought it was one of them chaotic sci-fi film but it was the exact opposite. The Mister downloaded the movie ( thanks, Torrent ) and we watched it together with the Ninjas last Friday night. To tell you honestly, I cried towards the end of the movie it just sends in ' an emotional punch'. -- no wonder Agent K doesn't want to tell Agent J what was happening. It all made sense. It was all meant to be. I liked that Andy Warhol was in there and that Griffin guy was amazing; he's actually the coolest character in the movie -- and I love his beanie by the way! =p</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there's this part where Agent J was asking something about Agent K's mysterious disappearance. He asked Agent O some questions and Agent O was like "<i>Don't ask a question that you don't want to know the answer of</i>" and it got me thinking -- oh yeah..what could that question be in my case?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
So uhmmm... if I would ask a question that I don't want to know the answer of? Shoot -- really? ok. uhhhh.. it would probably be... hold it ..hold it.. * holding back tears* and *clearing throat *<br />
<br />
Why did my dad ever have to leave us and is not planning to return? --wait was that a valid question? did I just ask that correctly? I think so and I kind of know the answer to this and I wish I'm wrong but I don't know ---<br />
Sorry. Was being to mushy up there. I just thought that was interesting.<br />
<br />
Anyhooo, if you haven't seen the movie yet, go check it out -- I say it's 4/5 buckets.<br />

I thank you that I don't have enough closet space for my clothes, enough hooks for my bags and enough containers for my accessories. It simply means that even though I can't buy the things that I want, they still find their way to me via some awesome people I have in my life. It means I am loved . I have more than enough. Amen.<br />
<br />
PS -- I still have some vacant space on our shoe rack. Just letting you know. Just in case -- oh and I'm a seven , but I know you already know that.<br />
<br />
You're the best ,<br />

I used to have this featured on my <a href="http://anabriones.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> but I thought I'd just share it here. This little blog has been nice and cozy for me, so without further ado here goes my Ten Things for this week. All images found via Pinterest.<br />

I love September. Not only because it is the beginning of -BER months but there's also tons of birthday celebration in store at Le Mister's side of the family and all of them are so dear to my heart. Oh! and don't get me started on the cakes -- we're huge cake fans around here.</div>

Last Saturday, we celebrated Andre's 6th birthday. Destiny turns 8 , 5 days after so their mommies decided to have a double celebration.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It was super fun! There were games for both kids and grown-ups! I'm quite happy that even Le Mister whole 'heartedly' participated on them games when Andre called his name. He was the first one out though which got us all thinking that he did it on purpose. At least he participated, right? TX won the longest greeting game! well -- him and his other cousin. I think he got 9 secs and I shouted 13 secs. *grins* . Atreyu was not in the mood before the party because he really wanted to eat fries at that time but he patiently waited, probably because his Papa said so. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why hello there! I just thought I'd share some stuff here before I forget this space (again). Trust me, I've been meaning to get back at what I really love doing ( aside from sleeping...) and that is writing. They say the best way to be good at writing is to...hold it..duh...keep on writing! Well, I know you know that. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to get my groove back on this little hobby of mine.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that was a long intro was it? Ok. Three things.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MXPX is coming to town! I've been a fan, well not really that much of a fan but I can say that they are one of the very first bands that I listen to and got me interested with punk music and I never looked back. I remember I used to 'borrow' my brother's cassette tape of the album Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo just to listen to it the whole afternoon while he's at school. Good times. I just wish my brothers are here with me to share the experience and them friends too -- Makoi, Dorai, Lou, Mayet, Rob *sigh. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rkZsDiwBuEw/UF442ZzQrkI/AAAAAAAAAEY/OzlPOz0Qvqk/s1600/mxpx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rkZsDiwBuEw/UF442ZzQrkI/AAAAAAAAAEY/OzlPOz0Qvqk/s320/mxpx.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Foster the People is in town too. Ughh. I don't know if I'm going to be excited, sad, disappointed or what. I can't afford to spend big bucks on 2 concerts tickets in one month -- I mean I've already missed NOFX and sadly, Taking Back Sunday -- but hopefully they'll be back and I can't afford to miss MXPX this time -- watching it for my folks that're not here. It's really not that big of a deal. Foster the People is Foster the People -- sigh. But like I always say, they'll be back.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aUGYrDL0Wh0/UF45ERFSiTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/ZrIcPIBIZDc/s1600/Foster.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aUGYrDL0Wh0/UF45ERFSiTI/AAAAAAAAAEg/ZrIcPIBIZDc/s320/Foster.JPG" width="245" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw the trailer of The Perks of Being a Wallflower the other day and liked it! love the OST , some friends at work love the book and emailed the PDF file to me, so hopefully I'll finish that next week. One thing that got me excited to see the movie is that it's got the same producers as the movie Juno which is one of my favorite movies of all time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l2ezQZUJTgo/UF45iXS3nLI/AAAAAAAAAEo/CaKlDwSkJRk/s1600/perks_of_being_a_wallflower_ver2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l2ezQZUJTgo/UF45iXS3nLI/AAAAAAAAAEo/CaKlDwSkJRk/s320/perks_of_being_a_wallflower_ver2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, there you go! A few things that I am excited about and keeping me motivated. It wasn't that bad was it? Later.</div>

I was going back and forth on <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>whether or not I'll post some stuff here again. This blog was created at the time when I got tons of inspiration on hand and I'm not saying that 3 years after that I'm uninspired, in fact it was the exact opposite. Life has been, shall i say, hectic lately -- and I'm not complaining! I'm not sure if I'll post here regularly -- I love my Tumblr because it's so easy to post there and I'm not obliged to write a whole entry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyhooser, let's try this one more time shall we?<o:p></o:p></div>
