sleepwalking

this picture doesn't give it justice

love the crimson color of the roses

took this while i was limping back home

once again my legs were not cooperating

i think i am going to crash early tonight

tomorrow is going to be a long day (again!)

april is such a slave driver...

is it just me or this whole royal wedding hullabaloo is just plain annoying

every time i turn on the tv it's all about them

like i give a flying fart

i don't care about what gown the bride is going to wear or where they are going for their honeymoon

like i said i don't give rat's a**

please let it be over soon

---

stick me with a fork, i'm done

i feel so full that it's not even funny

why did i have to finish the left over paella?

---

just downloaded their new album

and i am loving it :)

the video is not bad either...

the weepies, be my honey pie

walking on egg shells

i'm easy like sunday morning

i hard time waking up this morning

i just felt really, really tired

come to think of it, it was not only me

my co-workers were feeling the same way

call it the monday blues

---

what's the point of running and doing all these exercise?

because when i get home from the park i get very hungry and i snack like crazy

today i ran further, hooray!

but anyway when i got home i had a ton of chips plus for dinner i had thai food

so whatever calories i burned i gained it all back

oh well there is always tomorrow...

---

summer break please come soon

i don't think my patience can take it any longer

@_@

p.s. i hope the weather gets warmer...

comfort zones

baked my very first cupcake from scratch, a vegan cupcake to boot!

so happy j loved it :)

i said i would stop checking facebook

i was doing very well but now i am back with a vengeance

a friend posted pictures from his wedding

almost all of my highschool friends were there, it was so nice to see all of them together (with their spouses, can't believe the boys are all husbands now!) it made me miss home :(

2 more months and counting...

---

despite the barking dog from across our room that woke me up at 4 in the morning

this week's weekend getaway

was worth it

---

blast from the past

highschool and baggy pants

:)

hi-five, unconditional love

are you there friday?

i need a break

---

"sofia your mom has a baby in her tummy

ofcourse she will act crazy sometimes!"

words of wisdom from my luca, age 4

---

today while i was talking to one of the moms

i felt two hands squeezing my chest

i look down and it was a little girl in my class

the same little girl who had her mouth on a boob a couple of months ago

what is up with that?

---

ran longer yesterday

taking it one day at a time

----

very interesting video

reminds me of someone

*points at self*

cut and copy, hearts on fire

twilight zone

please stop and smell the flowers

life is too short not to notice the beautiful things around you

i really want to have a baby

rex, 4

today was a long day at work

and tomorrow it's going to be even more longer

all i can think about is going to the park for my walk

it's crazy, i know

me, the couch potato is thinking about exercise

next thing you know i might get a gym membership

and if that happens i'm sure the end of the world is coming.

---

eye opener

new sheets and new pillows

i hope this helps

i need my sleep

this weekend was a revelation

a weekend in stockon then a spontaneous trip to san francisco

i'm a still a little scared

but both of us are willing to make this, whatever you call it work

i just don't want to go through all of that again...

---

went to the park for a run today

i actually ran!!

no cramps (for now)

hopefully i won't have to deal with that any time soon

---

i discovered i have this in my itunes

:)

it's actually worth the repeat button

hunger pains

joy joy joy

last night i decided to blow dry and flat iron my hair

so today i have nice straight locks

anyway aidan saw me today and exclaimed

"miss nicole! you use to have crazy hair!

did you take a shower?"

i love how honest children are

if only grown ups can be as candid and honest as they are

---

i don't know what to have for dinner

i am hungry but i don't feel like eating

i guess it's carrots again.

---

boo to sleep deprivation

green machine

left over wrap and a glass of green concoction

i am so tempted to buy some sleeping pills

but i am really thinking about it although i don't want to get hooked again just like the last time

i have been having trouble sleeping all through the night

i keep on waking up and just forcing myself to sleep

i feel so tired...

*help*

it has been quite a ride these past couple of days

i don't know what to feel or what to believe anymore

---

today i tried to walk at the park after work but i had the worst leg cramp ever!

i had to sit down and force myself to walk back home

although i was able to walk for 2 miles but the pain was just excruciating

when i got home i just passed out

i am getting old!

---

i can't stop pushing the repeat button

band of horses, no one's gonna love you

hair today, gone tomorrow

finally chopped it off!

april 2011

---

went to the salon today

i went in with a ton of hair

a mangy, unruly and tangled mess

an hour later

i came out 10 lbs. lighter

bye bye tangles

bye bye split ends

let's see how long i can maintain it

:)

---

remember this?

this song was our anthem back in highschool

everytime i hear this song i think about paul (yikes!)

raf, due

ahhhh, now i am back in 1996

a happy tummy

i actually cooked today!

i haven't done that in a long time

i just didn't feel like it

but today when i got home i was famished so instead of going out

i decided to be smart and make a home cooked meal

and for dessert i had taho

yum yum yum!

pasta with asparagus, bacon and olive oil

taho

(tofu with ginger syrup)

---

tomorrow i am going to get my hair chopped off

:)

i am so E-X-C-I-T-E-D!!

thought bubbles

i know it looks unappetizing but don't let appearances fool you

thanks tita!

didn't go to the park today

instead i crashed when i got home

i slept for about an hour, i was just so tired

once again my neighbors were just going at it

everyday this week

don't get me wrong i am happy for them, it's just if they can keep it on the down low i would really appreciate it

anyway here's hoping to a good night's sleep (again!)

---

nicole do teachers marry other teachers?

nicole, do you have pajamas?

nicole were you cute when you were a baby?

nicole did you learn anything when you were a kid?

nicole that's a beauty mark (pointing at my mole)

oh, how i love the way their minds work :)

---

a fun song

for all those people who think that being with another person is the only way to be happy

well think again...

there is more to life than that.

kate nash, merry happy

a new beginning

a new love

so vanana yogurt from trader joe's i am breaking up with you

you still hold a place in my heart but this time wallaby just captured my taste buds

i am so sorry

until i taste you again...

a new app

i downloaded a pedometer app so i can keep track of all the running and the walking i have been doing

anyway i walked 3 miles today woo-hoo!

that's a great start :)

so tomorrow my goal is to walk 4 miles, that is if my legs don't cramp up again

---

a new discovery

i love the story and the illustration

it was very simple yet the children were just enthralled

tomorrow i am going to read his other book "letter to amy"

that should be fun!

---

april's here!

sunset on 16

march 2011

while driving on jackson highway

i saw the most magnificent sunset, it looked like someone took a big brush and just did big, bold brush strokes across the sky, it was breathtaking

---

is it april already?

oh wow!

---

okay as you may know i am not a really big fan of having my picture taken

i don't want to be those girls who makes those faces inside the bathroom while snapping the camera like a madman

but allow me to do it once and i will promise that i won't do it anymore

i know i am not 16 anymore so please excuse my sudden narcissistic complex

anyway my cousin's girlfriend who does great make up, worked on my face this afternoon

and voila!

i smell like barbecue and my hair was a greasy mess but she actually made me look presentable

ta da!!!!!

first and last time you will see me hamming up in front of the camera

----

watched sucker punch this weekend

anyway, this song brought back a lot of memories
