stolen from Nylon: quiz time!

Taken from Nylon's blog, here's a short quiz for y'all this weekend:

1. This Thanksgiving, I ate too much _________.

2. The movie we watched (on TV or at the cinema) was ________.

3. I think “Black Friday” is lame but I still really want to buy ____________.

4. The celeb I’d most want at Thanksgiving dinner is ___________.

5. The song I play when I’m finally alone without all the guests and relatives around is __________.


My answers:

1. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies // marshmallow chocolate chip cookies.

2. Got UP, went to my parents', and made my mom watch it with me :)

3. A Lumix LX 3 or a Canon SD780is. And a good pair of black leather boots.

4. Emma Thompson. She's classy, she's like that nice aunt or relative that you actually like, and I wouldn't mind stuffing my face at the Thanksgiving table in front of her (as opposed to, say, Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Sendhil Ramamurthy.)

5. Everything from the Broadway musical soundtrack of Hairspray...or That Thing You Do by the Wonders.


Leave your answers too :)

Love you,

Good weekend.

it's like i got a new dog.

He went from



to




I'm really sad (as are Momma T & Popsicle T). But he still knows how to high-five, say thank you, and rollover. So all is well, I guess.

We're going to go back to grooming him ourselves.

blast from my past.

I was looking through my closet the other day, trying to find a Jansport-type backpack for my next trip in a few days (I have a strong feeling that I dumped it shortly after returning from the Peruvian jungles...) Inside, I found a big black garbage bag...and in that, I found my elementary school years.

Initially, I was going to post them all up at once but I do care about my fellow blog readers and their eyesight so I think I'll post only a few for now (there's a lot of color and a lot of ugly about to occur) and save the rest for other times.


The first things I pulled out were old school t-shirts. On the left is my elementary school shirt with it's phrase "Discover a Whole New World" hahah. On the right is one of the shirts my mom & I painted. We used to make t-shirt designs a lot with fabric paint. Bt-dubs, the clouds above the dino glow in the dark (still!)


One of my friends in elementary school decided she wanted to do painted t-shirts at one of her birthday parties. I remember working so hard on this one and after I had finished, I looked up and saw that all the other girls had decorated their shirts with their names fluffily written or oddly drawn pictures of cats. The birthday girl's mom appreciated my shirt at least...or so I think she did when she said, "Oh, honey, that's...nice."


I made t-shirts even in high school though. Flashback to old pictures:


Tribute to my darling Priscilla & the Adam Brody, 7 years ago.


My AP Bio t-shirt, 6 years ago. Quote from Kahlil Gibran too (you like that, huh).



I used to decorate hats too, in addition to t-shirts. the purple and the rainbow/white one were decorated by me but the green-printed white one was a gift in elementary school -- we took them around our classes and had people sign them.

Look at one of the signatures on it (if this were Facebook, this is where I'd tag her):

Isn't that precious.

happy day, popsicles.
