Life So Far

Published by Justine

Yeah, I know I totally suck at keeping a blog. I can’t remember how I used to be so good at writing just whatever was on my thoughts. Keep a blog AND keep a journal. I haven’t even written in my journal since early this year. Lots of things have happened since my last entry and it would be too all over the place if I wrote them all here.

It’s been 2 weeks since we moved to the old new house. Basically we used to live there, and moved to two houses, then moved back to where we started. Kinda confusing.. and I think I haven’t moved this much my whole life. July 2008, July 2009 then July 2010. It’s crazy but I’m glad my mom’s healthy, that’s all that counts.

It’s been 6 months since I graduated and I’m learning a lot from this paid internship in a consulting firm. I have about less than 2 months left but I still don’t know what to do with my life. I’m totally at a crossroads.. of 1000. I just wanna be happy and comfortable as well as gaining new experiences and looking at different aspects of life. My parents are have been hinting for me to “move out” stating that they really want me to stay but they also want me to “explore the world” I don’t know why.. but that statement freaks me out more than it excites me. I’m not saying that it doesn’t though.

Boy problems. More like NO-BOY problems. I don’t ever have it easy and I have myself to blame at the end of the day. Hopefully a nice guy comes along and releases me from my inhibitions. Funny how I’m even saying the word inhibition, I never had that issue before. It’s funny how as I’m getting older, the more I’m changing and closing myself to the world. It should be the other way around.. and I’m working to change it. Hopefully the process isn’t too long and I get back to my old train sooner. Wish me luck!

Afraid

Published by Justine

I’m scared of making goals for myself because I’m scared that I won’t fulfill them. Every time I start to grab a pen and write down my future wants and goals, I immediately put it down because I’m thinking why make goals when you can’t achieve them?

I should really get rid of this mindset. Goals are so important and it’s about time I start to really take things into consideration and write down what I want to happen for my future. I’m at the age where I need to start building shrines from my stepping stones. I hope that with this post it can be a little reminder for me to sit down, and start sorting out my priorities for the future.

Rondnoir

Published by Justine

Believe it or not, I’ve never tried Ferrero Rondnoir until today. I’ve always been the Rocher person. But I sometimes prefer dark chocolate to regular chocolate because my tonsils are very sensitive and it blows up pretty much when I stuff in too much sweets into my mouth.

My officemate just got back from a weekend in Singapore and brought me this small box of Ferrero Rondnoir. It is DELICIOUS. I don’t know if I’m exaggerating but I love it. My favorite of all time is Toblerone (simple girl, simple pleasures) because the chocolate speaks to me. But this may be the 2nd on my list now. I haven’t had chocolates in ages, also probably why the taste was great.

Thanks to Google Images it was so easy for me to find a photo. I wanted to take a photo of mine but I did a DOMO-KUN on it already and NOM-ed it.

No Sex No City

Published by Justine

Tonight I watched Sex and the City 2. I am a huge fan of the series, although there are a few episodes per season I missed, especially the later ones. I watched the first movie and loved it, and after watching this one I loved it even more. I don’t care what critics say, I kept an open mind before watching the movie hoping that I would forget just a little bit of the real world and dive into a world of Carrie and Louboutins. I was in for a ride, a really great one. Initially I was put off because the movie’s length stretches up to more than 2 hours but now that I think about it, it was definitely more than worth my time.

The best part was I didn’t have to think, there was no concrete storyline, I already knew all the characters VERY well so I didn’t need explanation. Simply put, it was shallow and superficial—done RIGHT. Being a girl the visuals were great. Louboutins left and right, great dresses, it was like a visual work of fashion art. Patricia Fields definitely knows how to do it right.

I’m a big cheeseball and I adored this scene. It may have been the most cliched scene in the movie, four women belting out a song about women empowerment (or was it?) on karaoke but it made my night. It made me miss my girlfriends and the moments we have despite our distance right now. While Sex and the City on television was mostly about sex.. AND the city itself, this movie was based on personal struggles, friends that last a lifetime, finding a way out of frustrations, being happy inside and out, Abu Dhabi (certainly not New York!), knowing what you want and which shoes go with it. Yeah, I totally just over-analyzed it. The movie isn’t great, but it was definitely a great watch.
