O Holy Night

Happy holidays everyone, I don't have much to say except that I hope everyone's enjoying their break and time with family and friends. I wish it didn't take the "holiday spirit" for people - me included - to get back in touch with some old friends to catch up on the past couple months, or even years in some cases.

BnB and Me (the forever tag-alonger) at the annual dinner

Sundance/Mesa Verde Reunion. We've been through it all haha.

Vegas trip with 198 & friends. Taking advantage of our last winter break together :/

Happy holidays from my family to yours

Listening to the homily during today's mass reminded me why I'll still put my faith and trust in God despite this religious funk I've been in. I know lately I've been having inner conflicts with religion in general and understandably so, but I can still wholeheartedly acknowledge that having God in my life fills this inexplicable void that cannot be fulfilled by anything else. I may have lost faith in organized religion and the ability of people to be understanding and accepting towards others, but faith in my God has never swayed and I don't think it ever will.

All I ask is that as the end of the day draws near and you look at all the gifts you've received, if you ask yourself, "Is that all there is? Could there be more? Do I have enough?", look past all the gift wrap and fancy decor and remember what Christmas is really about: honoring the birth of Jesus Christ. Religious or not, I think we all can benefit from seeing the beauty and wisdom within his teachings.

Merry Christmas<3

All I want for christmas...

I'm going to be materialistic for a moment so here's my wishlist for the holiday season. I don't actually expect people to get me these things; it's more of a what-i'm-going-to-get-myself-with-christmas-money kinda deal.

+ Original penguin Aruba sunglasses
+ NARS & Urban Decay Makeup
+ New camera, preferably a Canon Powershot
+ Black winter coat
+ Clothes from H&M, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom
+ Black skinny jeans
+ Black leather bomber jacket (like this)
+ Nike zoom blazers size 7
+ Flat brown leather boots
+ Plain v-neck tshirts in any color
+ Nintendo DS
+ Classic Ipod
+ Bangles, earrings, necklaces, scarves
+ Purple or sunshine American Apparel hoodie
+ Black or white clutch
+ Cute picture frames or cool deco for the room
+ Black or gray leggings/tights
+ Money for a new haircut/dye-job
+ Large purses or messenger bags for school

And that's all I can think of for now.

On another note, is anyone else getting sick of Beyonce these days? I'll admit she's probably one of the hardest working artists right now but C'MON I don't need to see her face every commercial break in that horrendous HD Direct ad. Apparently everyone else at the apartment loves it except for me (I'm also the only one not running on testosterone mind you). Dear god it's called overexposure honey. Call me a hater, I don't care. If you're like me, you'll appreciate this video. All hail Queen Bee.
