Old > New.

Games should not be so fun. I may or may not have gotten a little to into this and screamed at the top of my lungs every time I won.

These Might Become a Problem.

Hi, my name is Angela and I love pickles. Well not the sweet ones but all the sour ones...yum. You might have thought I would die when I sampled one of Vish's deep fried pickles at lunch today and then proceeded to eat half of his loot...whoops. I told you I was secretly fat (at least in spirit if not actually) All I can say is thank the Lord I don't live down south. Apparently they sell these everywhere down there. I would be fatter than a house I tell you. Also Texas Roadhouse is divine. I filled up on pickles, rolls, peanuts and chili before my food came out and by the end I wanted to die I ate so much. Good thing I took most of my meal home and now I'll have the greatest leftover lunch ever! Too bad all I can think about is the dang pickles I need to recreate stat.

Please Be False for my Sake.

If this is true, I'm so old I might as well be dead. I think everything is too loud these days...shoot dang.

A Little Too Much of a Good Thing.

Love the organizing by color. As much as I love reading and studying, my brain is about to explode with knowledge. Also, why can't I get it through my head that certain boy is totally incapable of texting me back. Gross. Maybe I'll go spit chewed up baby gummy bears on his car. 5 days til I see Pasc, Los and Tiggy Rache!

Just Wanted to Say...

Isn't that so stinking cute? I may be the only satisfied with my juvenile artistic abilities but whatevs. It brought a smile to my day. So did catering from Kneaders...holy yum. My stomach is very satisfied right especially since I'm eating "California Cookies" for dessert. I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I'm so freaking excited to see my little Ney (aka: Los Beef, Lowly Worm, Bunsy Boy, Chin Win, Panties, Smoosh and 10,000 other equally ridiculous nicknames but most importantly...GJK). Remember how everytime I see christmas lights on people's houses, I go into little child mode and scream out loud in my car and gasp like a 5 year old...I'm so mature right?

Making Spirits Bright.

Isn't my Christmas shelf so cute? The little bear is my wish bear from our Care Bear movie at YW the other night. I decked my room and bathroom out for Christmas today and it will not be long before the entire apartment has been swept by my Christmas decorating. Decorating makes everything better, even studying for finals especially if you make homemade cookies and decorate those too. I can't wait to start holiday baking and cooking. I love this season the best and not just because my birthday is around the corner but it totally helps.

Nakie Nails.

I hate them! I need to paint them stat. Also, I got the most darling present at YW last night. I'll have to picture it and post it.

I Got...

Actually I just got a smart phone. I found out why them call them smart phones. You basically have to be genius to figure some of that stuff out. At least I know how to text, take pictures, make phone calls and delete the 2378523 billion notifications that I get. One day, I plan on figuring out why it randomly beeps at me for no apparent reason. Thanksgiving was fab besides the fact that I didn't eat turkey, drink Martinelli's, or see my Pasc and Los and Tiggy Rache. Black Friday shopping was fabulous. We pretty much got everything we sought (I feel so biblical using this word) except my chopper thing and the highly sought after iTunes cards in purple.

Lots of Little Flurries.

My parents and I got caught in a snowstorm last night...no bueno. I feared for my life all the drive long.

HP 7.1

The latest Harry Potter was so good even though I was scared through half of the movie. I love me some HP. In the spirit of thanks...

Gracias JK for allowing to pick up one of your books and transport my muggle self somewhere far away and wish BYU would give me at least 5 of the conveniences that Hogwarts has.

Confession for J Name #112:

So let's just make that happen before I:
Akay? K Thanks Bye,

Lalynn

Rouge.

I want her hair right now in black please. This makes me want to do the cool celeb thing and get a bright wig and rock it all the time.

Que Mango!

Who is my newest celeb lover? Bruno Mars. Why did I not know how gorg he is? It's a good thing I watched his music video (BTW: darling music video) and was like is that him? Gee wiz kids.

Time to Upgrade.

So basically I've wanted an iPhone since they came out and everything was perfect about it except one little detail: I had to switch to AT&T. As much as I wanted an iPhone, I couldn't dare betray my beloved Verizon Wireless! My whole family pretty much has Verizon too and I didn't want to waste all my minutes talking to those I loved despite how totally worth it, it would be. So I picked a sucky Verizon and lived on. Then Verizon got awesome phones and I still had a year and a half until I could upgrade. Finally in May my upgrade day had come but I no longer cared about it. I had heard rumors about Verizon getting an iPhone and about died about the lovely marriage that would be. Only it never happened so last night I discovered this little baby:

Hello wannabe iPhone that will soon be mine. Too bad it was $200. Way too bad that even with my upgrade discount, it will still be $150...suck right? I decided to ask for that as a Christmas present. Today I decided to google this phone and found out that on black friday, I could get it for $1...umm, yes please! I will be in line on Thanksgiving if that's what it takes to get my hands on this baby and have a very early merry christmas to myself. If I can't score one, I will cry myself to sleep until Christmas morning when Santa brings me one. Good thing I've been so nice this year.

One Day...

My kitchen will be as adorable as this minus the bright blue walls. Those kind of give me a headache.

Hungry Much?

Sometimes I eat healthy (I hate how it takes like 10 hours to get all the pom arils out and 5 minutes to eat an entire bowlful),

and other times not so healthy. (We won't discuss how I ate half of this pizza minus the crust by myself. I was one of the only things I ate all day so I will use that to justify my fatness. Also this pizza was the bomb.)
Tomorrow's eats include an Indian dinner party and buttermilk brownies...enough stomach growling for the day. Oh, and I want EJ again...shocker.

Can't Stop This.

So tonight, I was bored out of my mind and craving pizza so on my way to the market, I called Musu who didn't pick up and then I called Vish to see what they were doing. Vish was at the theater buying tickets to see the new Denzel movie with Raylene and asked if I wanted to go. I usually refuse to go but when I was on cinemark earlier during the day, I saw it and wanted to see it so I said yes. It was a pretty good movie. We made plans to go see the new Harry Potter that comes out next week...holy pee my pants excited!

Since I had abandoned my pizza making plans, I decided to go get the supplies since I would most likely crave it tomorrow. Vish wanted to go to Hooters after seeing Denzel's daughters as Hooters workers in the movie but I wanted to go home but suggested the hot springs instead. We went home and got Musu and drove out there and when we got there, it was fenced off and said private property...biggest letdown ever! We were all bummed so we went to McDonald's and got some prime snackage and headed back to Provo and told some great stories along the way. Car rides with the foreigns make for great stories no matter where you go. Tomorrow they want to play racquetball so I'll probably tag along and watch.

M&Mmm's.

Lately I have been a little obsessed with M&M's. It all started when I bought them for some of my nieces and nephews for Halloween and I stole a snack pack that had 7 of the little devils inside. Those were gone in less than 30 seconds and I still craved them. The next time I went to the market, I saw them and the craving kicked my stomach until I bought a small bag at the register. That bag lasted less than 24 hours and I wanted more? I tried to remind myself that I don't like chocolate and M&M's contained chocolate the last time i checked. My body has been in denial about this fact and still wants more candy coated chocolately goodness. Tomorrow I'm headed to Target and I might get a medium or maybe just get a large bag and get my body sick off them once and for all. I don't even know who I am nowadays...cray.

I Suck at Uploading Photos.

Once upon a time (like 2 years ago), you could bet that I would be the first person to go to an event, come home and have new facebook pictures up all tagged with fab captions by the time you got home. Now not so much. This may have to do with the fact that I never take pictures anymore on my digicam and that my camera cord has just been unpacked since the last time I used it in June. Here's some highlights from October and this month that I've actually taken pictures of:

One of the many loves of my life, Mr. Jason DeRulo. The concert was fab and even though we got pulled over later, it was worth it. I love that Kamil thinks JR is such a manwhore but he loves B.o.B because he reads Japanese comics...go figure.
Brunch at Cracker Barrel with the foreigns and friends. It makes me wish I grew up in the south eating food like that besides the fact that I would be fatter than a house.
Proof that besides the fact that they rarely talk my young women do love me. I got stickers and a bookmark because I'm so cool.
Deer stalking before mutual. They totally freak me out in person but I was safe in my car. I still remember how I've almost hit 2 by the Playboy Mansion because they just stand in the middle of the road and expect you to let them just chill there.
Snow. It's supposed to like major snow tomorrow but I'm hoping it won't but in case it does, I'm headed to the market early in the AM to get food for the week just in case.

Can We Slow Down Please?

Remember how we just had halloween barely and then all of a sudden...

BAM, November! We're already 8 days into it...gasp! The 6th was my dear nephew Pasc' 14th birthday. I might as well we his grandma I feel so dang old. That's cool though. Old grandma's rock and I'm going to be a black grandma with a white accent...slight failure but maybe I'll get a black accent yet in my old years. At least that's my goal. One of many. It was like November 1st made it okay for every store in America to forget Thanksgiving and move right on into Christmas. You can't walk into a craft store without it looking like Santa and his elves barfed Christmas on aisle 2 and every other aisle for that matter. I love me some Christmas but I haven't even taken some legit fall pictures. Mind you I've totally slacked and now the leaves are falling off like no other so tomorrow I intend on photographing after doing other business before the trees are completely naked until spring again. The best part about this November you ask...
Harry James Freaking Potter Movie numero 7 part 1. I'm so excited I might wee my pants a little bit.

Pictures from here.

Just Remember...

And if you're not happy, come be my friend or at least fake it until you make it.

ps-smiling and laughing totally help improve anything.

Transporting to Jamaica Now.

I love how Bob Marley's music just sounds like summer on the beach and driving with the windows down on an open road. Love it.

Suck on That.

I love that the hotel my parents stays at has these suckers in their lobby and they probably hate my fam because we like rape the jar of them. They used to have them at Costco and we always got them in Hawaii and now they only have them in secret places like this magical hotel and on the "interweb" and Vish likes to call the internet and act like he was the genius that came up with that word along with 35273 other ones.

I love this sign. I will frame it in my future home and proceed to bake a cake or something marvelous at least once a week because I rock like that. Speaking of baking, I've already decided that my weekend menu will consist of buttermilk brownies and icy cold milk...yummers.

Scarefest.

Yay for Halloween! Hopefully you give out more treats than tricks! I'm satisfied since I watched "Hocus Pocus" and plan on having a Harry Potter marathon tomorrow. I made so many cookies for my fam to take home and treats for the little monsters back home. I secretly want it to already be Christmas though!

Why Didn't I Sew Yesterday?

I might go a little cray cray tomorrow. I have to finish sewing part of my costume, finish buying and prepping food for Costa Vida dinner and paint my nails. Oh and carve pumpkins if I have spare time...ay carumba!

We All Need a Reminder Sometimes.

This may be my favorite conversation I've ever had with a human being.

Location: SF Market on Wednesday around noon.

Normal chitchat with your checkout girl until we get to my final item: the chicken breasts of doom

COG(check out girl): Are you single?

self: Yep (my mind wanted to say 3546 other things)

COG: Yeah, it's usually only single people that buy chicken like this. You should see the moms! They come in and buy these huge..

self: ...family packs?

COG: Yeah! (starts to regret making me feel like smack apparently) Don't worry. One day, you'll be buying the family pack too.

self: Thanks K bye! (dies of shame and walks to my car and contemplates finding a new market to shop at)

It's a good thing I love my single life a little too much to care. Remember how it snowed Tuesday night? Yuck, no more thanks.

Leading up to All Hallows Eve.

Hi y'all. It might as well be -50 degrees outside because it's snowing. California girl + snow + Ewwtah = no bueno. Halloween is coming up this week and I'm so excited! I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to be but whatever I decide on will be great because I'm wearing it right? I wish I had Hocus Pocus to watch but I left it in freaking California. Everyday in Hallo-week (I'm SO clever right?) I do something Halloween related. Here's the rundown:

Monday-costume shopping (not as successful as I had hoped for but whatevs)

Tuesday-pumpkin bagel making...divine! I also made such good french onion soup.

Wednesday-pumpkin carving and Halloween decorating

Thursday-Sugar cookie baking and decorating

Friday-cookie delivering and halloween partying

Saturday-repeat of friday's partying + annual trip to Denny's and hot springs

Sunday- treat giving out and movie watching

When it's 5 degrees out, bundle up and make hot chocolate!

World Of Orbit.

I love the sweet sticky chewy stuff that is chewing gum. It's my addiction of choice. I'm not as bad as my madre who can go through a pack a day (this was right after she gave up diet coke...I would go through packs too) but I may have 5+ pieces a day. I guess that's better than eating 329289 times a day instead right? My favorite brand is Orbit because they have such fun flavors. I love the new tropical remix kind. I wish they would resurrect the mint mojito kind because it's basically heaven in gum form. The 5 brand of gum isn't too shabby either. I just hate peppermint flavored gum. It's too "spicy" as I refer to it even though I feel so pansy when I use this excuse for myself at age 22 but whatevs. Gum will make you as many friends as your pack has pieces. I remember how at EFY this summer, I would bust out a new pack and I instantly was the most popular one. It was the best. So naturally I loved this part of the orbit/wrigley site when I discovered it. Today several things made me smile. LSU finally lost a freaking football game! I was so delighted I almost called EJ but there's a 99.9 percent chance he deleted my number even though he would totally know the sound of voice yet decide to be lame and play dumb and feign to know who it was so I resisted. When I opened up youtube to watch cartoons (the new cool thing to do on Saturday nights) and there was this video talking about how Gingers are not possessed. This killed me and I was tempted to watch but didn't. One of my nieces is a redhead and my brother always talks about how she's a devil child and so I laughed out loud for like 5 minutes. Now I want new bubble gum...car trip? Yes please.

Hello Gorgeous.

Black and white photos really make everyone look better especially new crush Mr. Alex Pettyfer. Please marry me, what?

What a Monday!

Normally Mondays just suck. The weekend is over, school/work starts again and another week begins. Today started out good. I was going to get one of my free breakfast things (thanks Starbucks and McDonalds) but I wasn't hungry so I decided to postpone those for another day. I had a package at the post office so I ran over there to pick it up. My new brown boots came and they are so dang cute. I was so excited! I decided to take a scenic drive after that and just went around in Provo by some farms. Then I decided to run over to Winco since I needed some things from the market. They had huge boxes of pumpkins out front and they were only 8 cents a pound! Everywhere else is like 19-23 cents a pound so I struck gold! I got this cute little one and when they rung it up, it only cost me 46 cents. So naturally what did I do after I unloaded my cart? If you guessed that I ran back over and got an even bigger and better pumpkin, you're so right! It was huge (aka I could barely lift it) and it was only $1. I was tempted to get another one but I refrained since I already had 2 at home and one in the car. 5 pumpkins for one very single girl...yeah not so much.

After a great afternoon and a divine nap, I went and bought some fun halloween nail polish and tried on like 35738291 pairs of black pants since my other 2 pairs are basically dying and my other 2 pairs don't fit (ones too small, ones too big) but nothing looked fab on me. I went to mutual and we watched Veggie Tales. That just made me think about and miss my Ney. That little chubby cheeked fiend used to be obsessed with that show. His fav part was during the theme song when Bob stretches and in Ney's words "becomes a strawberry". I may or may not have LOL-ed at that part and had all the girls, leaders and staff staring at me.
After mutual, I usually go and get my "FHE treat" at Earth Fruits yogurt but I wasn't in the mood and so I went and got a happy meal. I may or may not have checked the McDonalds website on Sunday to see what toy they had this month...am I really 22? Sometimes I think a poor child got trapped in my growing and aging body. They had halloween treat buckets and you also get some Mr. Potato Head stickers in case you want to go indulge your inner child on crap food.
Since I have no idea/know exactly what I want for Christmas this year, I saw the most adorable bathing suit on the J Crew website and told my madre and she told me to credit it and have it sent to her so she could wrap it...aren't mommies just the best thing ever?! Mine is that's for sure!

We Can Be Friends After All!

I've never been a fall person. Growing up in Southern California, seasons didn't exist. My first year in Utah, fall was just the time of year where it started to get freezing and I was so not a fan. I like it hot, hot, hot. Fall also brings weird foods like squashes (that just makes me think of bugs or the game) and pumpkin flavored everything. The only pumpkin flavored thing I've liked was pumpkin bagels from the Bagelry back home...divine. That was until today when I made pumpkins bars...hello new lover. Where have you been hiding all my life? At least we've met now. Fall isn't so bad I guess. At least I can wear cute boots and snuggle with a cute boy.

Lazy Day.

Today I may have woken up at 3 in the afternoon. I may have wore yesterdays outfit to run errands in. I came home and the kitchen was OOC messy so I cleaned. Cleaning the kitchen inspires me so I made rice pilaf and the most bomb applesauce ever. I may have went to my room and watched old episodes of "As Told by Ginger" on youtube. I may not have any friends that wanted to hang out with me so I had a loner night...I love loner nights. Cleaning inspired me to clean my room and do laundry and organize my closet. I made a halloween wreath for my door. Then I went to Del and got some tacos since I didn't feel like making food since my roomie was owning the oven and I wanted snickerdoodles (one day soon) and then had ice cream and watched more tv. I thought about showering but decided that could totally wait until tomorrow. The only sucky thing about today was that my new boots got delivered when I was passed put in bed and no one was home and so I have to pick them up Monday. I'm so excited. They better be freaking cute.I may or may not have ordered 4 bathing suits this past week...oh well, too late.

Newsy.

Good new: the concert last night may have been one of the best I've been to yet. JR is basically everthing CB is and more minus the beatings. I want everything about that man. Popcorn chicken at sonic...divine! B.o.B's keyboardist was basically Lil Wayne 's long lost brother. Witnessed B.o.B doing some dancing in a total drunken state...greatest. I have food again!

Bad news: Shels got a ticket on the way back from the concert last night, I'm still freaking sick and have been sneezing OOC! I googled to see if you could die by sneezing and you totally can...gross! I need to get better asap.

All I want right now is some hot chocolate and I'm all out..yuck! I don't feel well enough to go out and get some either. JR would help too.

Manana.

Concierto con Jason DeRulo, B.o.B, Iyaz and Auburn. Estoy muy feliz a cantar y bailar con mis amigos en la fiesta concierta.

Lucky Day=Sicky Day.

Today I hurled about 15 times. Talk about unlucky. I managed to be well enough to attend a friends birthday party and have a fab time.

I Love Brown Parties.

Miss Aarti Reddy had a birthday so we went and had a cake party at the park. It was divine. After I went home and relaxed and then went to play bigger and better with Shels and some friends. We ended up going to EJ's house and cheating and it was like we weren't even friends...so gross. He would still hate me...whatevs. Then I went to grab Vish and Kamil and we went to Aarti's night party and it was crazy! I loved all the brown people and best was when this one white kid was like "Finally, white people!" when his friends showed up. I thought Kamil would die laughing.

Musica.

I saw this and about died. This is so true sometimes. (In case you're blind it says "Music is what feelings sound like") I love when I listen to that perfect song that describes just how I'm feeling at that moment. Then I usually express how I feel by dancing, crying, laughing, or just plain singing along.

Gotta Love the Biebs.

If you have a love/hate relationship with the Biebs much like I do (especially after hearing how HOT he is all summer by 14-15 year old girls...gag me!)

Then I hope you like this because Shels and I died watching it and talking about it all night long. Homegirl kills me in all her vids!

Pop It.

I love tart frozen yogurt like a fat kid loves any food really. The more tart, the better. When my fav place (aka tartest froyo) in Provo shut down, I felt like weeping. A few weeks later, a new froyo took over. I was a little annoyed and as a skeptic had to go make sure they were at least a little better than my trusty old joint. I walked in and almost half of the flavors claimed to be some kind of tart. I got my classic asian tart and then went to check out their topping selection. It was basically endless. I didn't know what to choose. I was about to load up on some kiwi and mango when I discovered what can only be described as fish eggs. The mere sight of them grossed me out but they many fruit flavors enticed me. I ate most of the froyo and avoided the fish egg orbs until one snuck into a bite...heavenly? I think so. Between mango and strawberry, I liked the strawberry ones best.

These are them in a huge tub. At times I'm tempted to order a 7 pound tub so I don't have to walk across the street to satisfy my craving for them. I went there today and was set on buying a cupful but then a guy that worked there started talking to me and I would have felt totally awk not getting froyo and buying a cup of strawberry flavored popping boba fish egg balls. Next time, I won't be swayed by the awkwardness and just get what I want. Here is me going to town with my cup of popping boba in my halloween room.

The Unveiling.

Today was like Christmas in a very small way for me. I came home from a crazy day to find a letter saying they tried to deliver my surprise but alas no one was home. I'm told that I can go retrieve it at 4:30 from the post office. At 4:30, I rush down to the post office and inquire about my package. My mailman hasn't come in yet but I can check back before they closed at 5:30. At 5:15, I show up and ask again. After taking 57237893 million years in the back room, the lady comes back to the front and pulls my package out of the A cupboard. I beam as I walk out of there and drive home. I begin the unwrapping process.

Inside the box you find this package. Which you unwind and unwind and unwind for half of your life until you get to the surprise which is...
A hot pink holga-licious camera! I'm so excited! I have a feeling tomorrow will be spent taking pictures outside and not in classes like I should be but we'll see.
