Random Jewels On White Clouds

It's another freezing Monday and it's just so damn difficult crawling out of bed! The other day, I got an SMS from my boyfriend saying that he feels that Christmas is just around the corner... again! Hahaha! True! It really does feel like the holidays are comin' right up. And it feels nice. ☺

This would be my nails for this week. I love using glitters in all my nail art designs even though it's such a pain in the a** to remove it. :( Well, not so much... I'm just probably that lazy. You see, glitter polishes take time to be removed compared to plain polishes.

I hope that everyone is having a great start this week. ☺☺☺

New Signs

So I'm sure you've heard the dumbfounding news about the new horoscope signs. Now I'm not really a firm believer of astrological signs and how it affects your destiny. I remember when I was in elementary school, my classmates and I would always talk about our "signs" then try (or impose ~ LOL!) to relate ourselves on how each sign is described.

"You're a Virgo, oh so that's why you're very cheerful!" - The typical statements I remember saying back then. I am supposedly born under the Pisces sign. When I read the characteristics of a Pisces (from books and magazines back then 'cause Internet has not been introduced to my generation), it seemed like I was reading that Johari's Window (remember that from school excursions? hahahaha!) about myself. Most descriptions were exactly how I and other people viewed me. BUT, I do not really read the "daily horoscope" and pattern my day onto it. I just don't.

If I'd get a tattoo, I'd probably have something like this. :) 

So, here's the signs and their new dates, plus a newbie!

ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17 - the newbie! :D
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18

So, are you still under the same sign? Did it change? Oh and notice Ophiuchus? That's new. Try to do some research and you'll find that there's an interesting story behind it. Try to watch this, too. This guy had a rather humorous way of looking at the new situation he is at. Funny!

Red Tips on a Cold Monday

I woke up really early today because it was just too damn cold! Brrrr! I cannot believe that the temperature could still get that low considering that I already live "on top of Manila". LOL! Anyways, I hope all is well today. :)

Now, my nails. I love red nail polishes! Any brand, hue, or intensity will do as long as it is indeed red. But as much as I love the color for my tips, I try not to do it often. I don't know. I just want a different color for my nails every week.

For this week, I still used red but I did not go all the way. I used white and some nail jewels to make my little canvases look sophisticated. :)

Simple, no? :) But it still looks festive because of the red color, so I really like it.

A Very Purple Year Ahead!

Aside from all the celebrations held at the end of each year, another thing that brings me so much excitement is when I go hunt for the perfect planner for the following year. I always get giddy looking at the sea of planners in bookstores or even in office supply stores. I'm like a kid in an ice cream store deciding which flavor to have!

I don't know about you, but looking for THE planner is a big deal for me. That piece of notebook will be with me for the rest of the year, so it really has to be perfect in my eyes. Last year, I went for a planner with a plain black cover, then I decorated it with pink and purple rhinestones, pearls, and shiny stickers. That way, my planner will not look the same as my co-workers'. LOL!

This year, I went for something simpler, but made sure that it had the color I like love. ♥

I am certain that you may have seen this planner in National Book Stores or in Robinson's Department Stores cashiers. :D It is sold in blue, green and pink. :) But I only saw the purple ones in NBS.

I know a lot of people opted for the Starbucks' planner, and I honestly don't understand why! LOL! Don't get me wrong... I like its design but I'm not digging the inside of the planner. My golden rule when purchasing a planner is that there should be one whole page dedicated for each day of the year. The Starbucks' planner does not have that.

Where did you get your planner for this year? :D Do you love it? ♥♥♥
Have an awesome weekend ahead, everyone! :D

Let's All Embrace 2011! :D

My sister, my mom, my brother, and my dad. I took the picture, hence, my absence. LOL

Whew! Holidays for me and family are always extremely busy! Family gatherings, reunions, gift buying, cooking, organizing of parties... the list goes on. I'm glad that the busy days are over, but somehow dissed because the celebrations have also stopped. :( Oh well, we could still make everyday Christmas or New Year, right? :) :) :)

I have numerous things I'd like to post in this blog. But, my oh my, I cannot decide where to start! :P

Maybe I'll post these pictures of my nails for the past two weeks of celebration.

My Christmas week nails. It's an old pattern that I always play with.

My New Year nails! Nothing dotsy in it cause I wanted something simple and different. The stars, BTW, are nail jewels that are gifted from a cousin.

Choosing nails designs are always very tricky to me. I want something special since I'll be seeing friends and relatives whom I very seldom meet. However, I also need to think of designs that can easily match different outfits for the different occasions to attend. That was probably the reason my New Year nails are not as extravagant as others might think it would. But I don't care! :D

I missed reading blogs! I'm ecstatic (in a way...LOL) now that I'm back to my normal waking up / sleeping schedule, hence, having time to log on to my Blogspot!
