It has always meant that my birthday was coming up,
and I don’t think this tradition of mine will ever change. : )

V-day can be full of cheeze but here are some things that I approve:

Bear Hugs via poppytalkhandmade
I especially approve of the bear on the left. :}

Things named Valentine via cencity

The lame-o tradition of watching romantic comedies on v-day.
This year I’m finally going to watch Say Anything.  I’ve been staring at that image of John Cusack holding up his stereo for about a decade now without trying to figure out why. Makes me tired just looking at him. :/

Hand-made valentines and chocolates!

Am I am I am I excited or wahhhat??

It’s the first trailer of The Bourne Legacy with my absolute favorite…Jeremy Renner♥

We first met in The Town. He was alright then. No biggie.
So I was surprised to see what a cool guy he was in The Hurt Locker.
And he was just way too lovable in Mission Impossible IV (I was being such an annoying fangirl in the theater.)

And this growing fondness of mine lead me to watch him in 28 Weeks Later
(and I do not, under any any any circumstances, watch scary movies. maybe except for The Shining, which I strangely like),
and by the time he showed up for 5 seconds in The Avengers trailer during the Superbowl, I knew that I would adore him. forever. Haha, I sound creepy. Anyways,

PLEASE watch this in full screen.
His awesomeness cannot be contained by a tiny rectangle.
(and I’m definitely getting that poster. it’s just too good.)
(and for the record, I was actually really sad for him at the end of The Town)

Delightful portraits, adorable models.

In my opinion,

everyone needs a twin.  :}

“A cheetah, a cheetah, a cheetah”

Awesome cast. Awesome Wes Anderson. Awesome french song. (aka Francoise Hardy’s Le Temps de L’amour)

Can’t wait for May 25th!

Today didn’t go as planned but,

all is well! All is well with my soul.

Roommate and I just burped at the same time. And we didn’t plan it. I’m both grossed out and pleased at the same time. :}
It’s good to be back to Berkeley & to my mansion ladies.

But the past three weeks in socal were much needed. I miss mom, dad, and sisterx2 already. My socal buddies don’t know but I’m secretly very much obsessed with them. :}

And as for the explanation behind today’s illustration pick (it isn’t totally irrelevant):
I drove on the SF bridge for the first time today! (to clarify, I’ve been on the bridge before, but only as a passenger)
It was so amajing! (pronounced ah-ma-jing. I’m not being weird. just quoting ‘Happy Endings’)
I didn’t expect it to be as cool as it turned out to be.  It really feels different on the driver’s side of the car.
Try it and see for yourself!

I love trailers.

Especially ones like these.

*Viewers may experience some drooling.

We’ve made it through another year.

Time to bid farewell to our used-up planners,

and welcome a brand new one on board!

Some 2012 planner picks from my favorite paper stores:

1. Simple Monthly Planners via Poketo $26
customizable covers + simple layout + clean font

2. mmmg Tomorrow Planner $28
mmmg is one of my favorite stationary companies from Korea. And I really like the fun, children’s-book look.

3. Perpetual Planet Planner $26
Aside from the weird name for a planner, this one looks very down-to-earth and minimalistic without being boring.

4. Typotheque Monthly Planner $11
Great if you’re a homebody and with a gigantic desk to house this guy.

5. mmmg Pocket-sized Red Planner
For the back pocket of your jeans.

Because it’s getting intense and I’ve developed my favorite character and this is a book where most if not all characters die.

I hope my favorite doesn’t die. But I know there’s a high chance of him dying in the most intense manner.

That’s what happened to Sirius Black. And that’s what made me stop reading the HP series at book five. (and they didn’t make him as good-looking/dapper in the movie as they made him out to be in the books!)

And they can’t kill off my favorite character since there are two more books, right?

They can’t make us fall in love with him and have him disappear like that, right?

Right?….

++++

My character did something risky just now. I hope he doesn’t die in the next chapter.

++++

Btw, happy finals’ week, everyone. :T
