Purple Rose of Cairo

I watched this film in class and fell in love.

I'm not a huge Woody Allen fan, yes, I admit that much but this film was FUN.

Taking my third film class is an amazing experience right now. I can't put it in words. It's insightful, fun, and not at all (so far) as dramatic as I thought it would be. Plus, who doesn't like to sit in class and watch a full movie?! Really.

So, if you haven't seen this...I'd recommend it just for the heck of it.
It's a comedy set in the 1930s...and well, it's a film about films!

Off I go to a very long day at school....wish it was work.

Catch ya soon again.

Monday Morning Gossip - Halloween Edition

I'm halfway done with my semester and it's been a horrible horrible journey. However, each day I try to enjoy life and look at the little things and smile. :) 

This week obviously is making me smile because yes, it is the week of Halloween!!! I just love it. This year we didn't really decorate as much as we did last year and I am not going to dress up either. It is just not that kind of year. However, Wednesday at Zumba I am going to be dressed up just a little and it will be FUN.

So yes my lovelies, my gossip of this week is I am happy that Halloween finally arrived. This means spooky music, scary movies (YES!!), creepy masks and stories...and lots of black and orange and well yes, pumpkins!

Are you excited about Halloween?
Or not at all?

Linking up with the fabulous Leeann for her weekly Monday Morning Gossip.
Go on over and say hi.

Oldie but Goodie

This is my jam for today...or this week.
It gets me going, it makes me sing along, it makes me endure waiting, and it definitely makes me think. Leaving the house early each morning has this refreshing tone to it. It's fog or early morning haze is just more than terrific. It not only clear my senses (literally) it's a great way to start the day off. I'm loving it.

And even though Kris' song isn't that old. It's still one of my favorites.

What song inspires you this week?!
Anything I must listen to? I hope!

Still Alive - But the Break is Needed

So my lovelies,

 

If you are wondering where I have been then you are wondering right. I have been absent. Last night I realized that I was absent for a whole week. I could not think of anything else than homework, sleep, and enjoying life and its endless obstacles. I'm doing fine, just having a lot on my mind right now.

 

Also, this semester is halfway over. I'm super excited. I'm also more stressed. I have an additional class going and it's insane. Though, that the life I chose. My one professor hates me (well, maybe not, but she intimidates me so I can't fully function or write to fulfill her standards)...so the next 8 to 9 weeks will be dreadful. I can do it though. We all know that.

 

I am still alive is what I wanted to tell you all.
I'm still around and I'm trying to catch up soon.

Miss you all. Miss writing too.
However, as of right now I don't really know if I can keep up with everything that is going on including this crazy little blog of mine. It will be very difficult until December...however, I know I can manage it all. Fingers crossed.

I think...If not, I know where I can reach out for help or guest bloggers or a drink. ;)

 

 

 

Hope you are having a fabulous Monday.
Mine became terrific once I realized I did not blow my midterm and got a full A score on the exam I dreaded so much. I have amazed myself. :)

P.s. I'm linking up with Leeann and her weekly Monday Morning Gossip. My gossip today is a quick hello and a quick "I"m still alive" post.

 

The Happiest Place On Earth

I had a stressful week.

It was so stressful that I literally fell asleep yesterday in my friend's car between classes.
This really never happened before. My body needed a rest.
Today, I'm studying, reading and getting ready for a fun weekend with my bestie! Not to mention a fun and needed trip to Disneyland!!!

What are your plans for this weekend?!

Anything exciting planned?!

xoxo

Music - I'm still gleed

No matter what happens life always continues - with or without people we love and care about.
This episode will be heartbreaking but good. I can feel it.
Tomorrow night it is. I will be there.

In other news...school's making me neglect things I love - again. It's all for a good cause though. It'll pay off soon. Also, my bestie is coming to town and we will have a fun time this weekend...cannot wait! Girls weekends are always fun.


Happy Wednesday everyone.
Hope it's a great one.


xoxo


P.s. It finally cooled down in southern California. YES.
 

Friday's Fancies - Color Crush

I love burgundy. Red in general. 
Fall is just that kind of season for me that makes me want to wear warm colors (I'm sure I'm not the only one).
I haven't had a fall shopping day yet but that may change soon. I need a few outfits for events and those dresses may just come in handy. 
Plus as a college student I could care less how I look in class as long as I understand the professor (or the topic) and as long as I remember it all and learn...so jeans, flats, and a fun sweater on top is all I need.
Fall Shopping will be FUN.

What are your colors this season?
Same as last year's?
Or new and different?

Linking up with Long Distance Loving again. 



Have a fabulous weekend.
I will be out of town.
Sharing my country traveling shenanigans over at Instagram mostly. ;)

Venice

This weekend I went to Venice Beach. My friend M and I felt like we needed to be tourists again and go to Venice. It had been years for the both of us so it was fun to walk around and see all the crazies. In a good way though. I like Venice. It's rawness is enriching so to speak. Plus, getting away from the damn bubble we live in is always a must. :) 

 I am an art lover...not sure what to think of this...but hey, it's colorful and it fit perfectly with Venice.

An obligatory beach picture was needed...including palm trees of course. Blog failure on my side basically occurred because I forgot to be in the picture. But we were smart enough to take a selfie of us... :) 

We are aware of the fact that we were matching...our sunburns later on were matching too. :( HAHAHA.

Have a fabulous day everyone.

Hello October

{via}

Happy October everyone!
Oh my gosh I cannot believe we are in month number 10.
Where did the time go?!

It is finally fall, finally time for more warm drinks, for warmer more comfy clothes, for pumpkins, for socks, for scarfs, for sweaters (!!!), for colored leaves, for scary movies, for college applications to be sent in, for more orange, for more black, for more pies, and for more fun!!! 

There's so much I need to do this month it is not funny at all.
I know I can do it. I will do it.
It will just require patience, patience and yes patience.

What are you looking forward to this month?

Anything in particular?
Let me know.

xoxo
