06 FebLack of updates!!

No Comments »

I dont know what happened but things got really busy out of nowhere around here! Its crazy! I got a little sick on Wednesday, that hunger headache lasted longer than it should have and left me feeling feverish. Got to see Wicked for a fourth time too, Nicolas and Neka remembered me by name :D it was so exciting! I felt extremely special all day! I also got my Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland BOS so yay for that! Last time I’m buying an eye shadow palette for $53 though! Ugh, talk about a dent in my bank account!

We’re deciding on what to do with our bills situation, I think we’ve come to a conclusion but some details still need to be worked out. Also, we got new phones finally! We made the switch and it’s going to really bring down our phone bills, I’m excited! I got my Palm Pixi and he got an HTC Hero. I was surprised how fast he made up his mind, he usually needs a minute! Haha. So far, I’m IN LOVE with my Palm Pixi! I’ll be doing a review soon. I’m debating if I should to a blog or a vlog review. Going to change my last name next week, I kinda wanted to wait til we moved out together, but he suggested we do it before handling the bills situation. Poohie.

So yeah, this is just a really quick update, I’ll have a better one coming Sunday with pictures and everything, hopefully!

30 JanIt’s sunny today!

5 Comments »

I’m so excited that it’s sunny today! After a week of fog, clouds and rain! Of course, I’m not going to get my hopes too high, for all we know we could be having another thunderstorm tomorrow morning. But I’m going to enjoy the sun while I can. The downside? Being stuck at home having to clean my room and update things. I wish I could be outside right now!

I know I’ve been lacking in the updating department, and updating with pictures but honestly, I havent been taking many pictures. Which makes me sad! I’ve been so busy with school starting, struggling to get the classes I wanted (which I didnt because they started this new rule where the teachers put priority on the students who previously took their classes, what kind of crap is that!), applying for jobs far from home and dealing with debt. Oh how I wish I could just sit on my floor and read a book and not feel like there’s something more productive I should be doing :( .

I got my ears flushed the other day, finally. Finally I can sleep on my right side without my ear plugging up, its amazing! The downside? Everything is like 5 times louder, I’m not even kidding. Running the water is extremely loud, which makes me wonder… how plugged up were my ears?! My husband was there when they flushed it (as always) but the right ear that was plugged up grossed him out when they pulled out this HUGE chunk of ear wax. The left ear didnt flush out, but she said it may come out later in the shower. She was wrong. I was in the Olive Garden parking lot about to get lunch and something tickled my ear so I scratched it and on my finger was a HUGE chunk of ear wax. Not a nice experience. So I dug out the rest, I wouldnt want to sit in Olive Garden and a glop of ear wax falls on my table. Does anyone else flush their ears? It’s a really nice feeling actually once you get passed the waves-crashing-sound.

So the month is over and my room hasnt been cleaned. Or touched. Husband says that my room’s just a lost cause and we should just clean it out when we move. Yeah, sure. Doesnt look like we’re moving any time soon. And I would like to get this room cleaned out before the summer time when all the bugs come out. I live near a hill and and there are plenty of yucky bugs that welcome themselves into our home over the summer. Not dealing with spending hours looking for a pesky spider cause I have too much crap laying around my floor!

That said, I think I’ll go grab my lunch and start getting to work!

29 JanReview: Always Infinity Super Absorbency Pads

4 Comments »

My periods are heavy. I normally use Always pads, usually the ones with the wipe attached to them but I dont use their wings. From my own personal experience, the wings dont really help. Not only that, but they’re annoying to deal with. They always end up scratching my thighs :( .

I received a “sample box” of these with one of those jumbo double box buys with my usual pads. I didnt really care for them, I was certain these thinner pads would do me no use. So I ignored them. I made a stop at Target a few months ago with my sister in law to pick up some stuff, pads being one of the things I had to pick up.

She suggested that I try them and how amazing they worked. I couldnt believe her. I told her about my heavy flows and how there’s no way those pads would work for me! She told me both her and my mother in law use them and they both really like them. So I agreed to try them, and if they didnt work, it was her fault lol.

So I tried them. And they worked fantastic! My period has never been so pleasant! The pad is indeed thin. Like, pantyliner thin. The material on the pad isnt scratchy or irritating like other pads, its nice and smooth. It doesnt make you feel like you’re waddling like a duck when you walk around, the wings dont scratch me at all though they are really sticky and are kind of hard to pull off when I’m changing my pad. They’re extremely absorbent! I’m impressed with how well this went with my heavy flows!

Of course, I thought maybe I was just having a lucky run with them. So I tried them again the next month… and the next month… and now I dont know how I ever lived without them!

Thin, absorbent and comfortable! This is just what us ladies need during our hellish week! I highly recommend you try them, if you havent yet. You wont regret that you did :) !

25 JanPositivity.

6 Comments »

Most times, I try my best to be positive. Simply because I soak up stress like a sponge and when I get stressed, not only am I in a grumpy mood but I get migraines and all sorts of other am-I-dying health symptoms. And besides, what good is it to stress over something that’s already happened? There isnt much you can do at this point to prevent it since it already happened. The most you can do is accept it, and figure out how you’re going to fix it.

For example, when my husband crashed my car cause he zoned out for a second. Sure, it could had been prevented. But it wasnt. It’s already happened. And for some odd, strange reason, it was meant to happen. So what was the use in getting upset? Yes its a hassle, its always a hassle to deal with things like that. And yes I was out of a car for a week. But being upset wasnt going to fix my car any faster. So what was the point. That would just be me, wasting my energy on something that I didnt need to waste it on.

The last two days have been depressing and left me feeling hopeless. I usually try not to write when I’m angry or sad, because that’s not how I want to be known. Because it isnt who I am, anymore. I do have my moments where I just feel like banging my head against the wall screaming “WHY WHY WHY” but you know, we all do. Right?! Feeling hopeless is inevitable. It’s bound to happen. The only thing I hate, about feeling hopeless… is that I start to loose sight. I start thinking that maybe my dreams arent worth chasing. And I know I’m just thinking that because I’m angry, not because I mean it.

I put myself in my situation. I didnt learn my lesson the last three times, and this is what it resulted in. In me, sitting here, feeling sorry for myself and hopeless. With a good pinch of anxiety. I dont know how I’m going to solve this problem, or how I’m going to get rid of it within the time limit I’ve given myself, and I dont know if I’ll ever figure it out. But I just have to have faith that I will, and when this hits again, I have to reassure myself that my dreams are worth chasing, because in the end, when all of this is done and over with… I’ll come out stronger, wiser and hopefully making better decisions.

And what good would my life be, if I dont reach my dreams? If I dont even attempt to reach them? What would my life be worth? Nothing. And I’m determined not make my life worth something.

25 JanAsthma?

1 Comment »

Recently I’ve had a bit of trouble breathing. Shallow breaths, deep breaths, it feels like I’m holding my breath when I’m not. Also feeling out of breath after I talk sometimes. I’ve never been diagnosed with Asthma before, so I dont know what it feels like. To be honest, other than having trouble breathing, I dont really know what it is. The reason why I started to think I had Asthma is because last year, I went to the doctor about a pain in my throat. She checked me and mentioned something about allergies and an inhaler. Inhalers are not my favorite thing. I dont know how to use them, so I never used mine. Plus it was one of those things where you go to the doctor and the symptoms disappear. Like they were never there (I hate when that happens). I know when I was younger, my brother had Asthma. And until a few hours ago, I found out my grandma does too! You know, things like this would be nice to know when you’re growing up! Other than that, I quit smoking in 2003, and I’m afraid maybe that has caught up to me, or is plotting revenge, who knows. So I’m going to be checked next week for Asthma. I hope this is just all in my head.

I’m playing this game right now:

And it’s driving me insane! I mean, I love the game. It’s a great game and its really fun… but come on! Stop being stingy with the coins and potions! And what is the secret to defeating the Spring witch? And and… Tin Man… if you dont get your act together soon, you’re off my team! Goodness.

And yes, I did rename my Tin Man to Boq and my Scarecrow to Fiyero. I shoulda renamed Toto to Dodo lol!

I’m back on my desktop and I’m happy to report that its now FakeSpyPro free! I’ll post up a better explanation post and everything later. Maybe this is what started my crummy day :( .

I had a mini break down earlier because of bills, it was really depressing. But I’m semi feeling better now. Watched Troy last night and it was refreshing for some reason (its my husbands favorite movie). Maybe I should watch it again tomorrow. I need something to lift my spirits. This gloomy weather is no help!

24 JanVirus: FakeSpyPro

No Comments »

So the other night, I was checking my email on yahoo and I got a Trojan notice from Kaspersky so I delete it, like usual and I thought that was that. But when I checked the list of events, it wasnt there. So I scanned it that night and it showed up clear.

I turn on my desktop yesterday night and this weird thing pops up saying that I have infected files and this thing called AntiVirusLive pops up saying its scanning my PC. I’ve never seen this before and it looks a big generic, so I “cancel the scan”. I look it up and the AntiVirusLive is part of the Trojan.

The Trojan is called FakeSpyPro. What it does is trick you into thinking all of your files are infected and pops up with a fake anti virus that they try to get you to buy and download. It also hijacks your Internet Explorer so that only site you can view is theirs.

Like I said, Kaspersky didnt detect it. Someone mentioned to use MRT on Windows (Malware Removal Tool) so I ran that scan last night and it didnt find anything. Other sites said to download a Malware program and scan it with that, so since nothing else found it, I downloaded the program and ran the scan this morning. It’s still scanning, and so far it’s found 4 infected files (dont worry, I’m blogging on my super slow laptop right now).

I’m so frustrated right now, I hate dealing with viruses and all this other technical computer stuff. I just wanna be able to browse the internet and blog and that’s it! Goodness.

I’m thinking of letting go of my yahoo emails. Gmail obviously doesnt have any ad’s that could carry a virus (someone in one of the sites mentioned they think the virus came from a banner ad on the site he was on). And Gmail doesnt delete your account after 3 months of inactivity either!

I’m hoping I get rid of this virus today. I’m so sad.

Does anyone remember Samurai Girl? It was a mini series that came out in 2008.

I remember it was around the time I was in love with Twilight and Martin had spent the weekend here and we watched Samurai Girl. I just recently found out that there are 6 episodes instead of the 3 they showed that weekend. I feel left out! So I bought it on itunes :) .

Its a great mini series, everyone should definitely check it out!

19 JanPanera Bread!

4 Comments »

I’m at Panera Bread hoping for some quiet time. Which isnt really… quiet. But its empty for a rainy day (is it just me or is Panera always packed on rainy days?) and the classical music playing and the faint sound of blenders is… relaxing.

I forgot how much I love the camera on my pink Aspire One laptop! I’ve had this hid away for over a year now because the battery died out and Fry’s told me it would cost over $100 to get a backup. I only realized after Martin left for Basic that I could get a backup battery on Amazon for $68! Damn you Fry’s!

Speaking of, 3 military people walked in today. Two were USAF, I couldnt help but whimper because I want my own set of ABU’s. And one day, I will :) .

It was storming this morning. Well into the early afternoon. But it literally sounded like sheets of rain just flying to my window. It was insane and it kept me up all night. Goodness. Martin called randomly asking if I was okay and if the rain was keeping me up… how does he know these things?! lol. Have I mentioned how much more aware of my discomforts he’s been since we got married? Every small thing he jumps up wondering if I’m okay and what he can do to make me feel better. He’s amazing.

Like right now, he’s sitting next to me playing his DSi quietly and letting me get some work done on my laptop. Not even complaining that we’ve been here for nearly two hours. How did I get so lucky :) .

Oh also, we saw lightning while we were on the freeway! I was so excited! I love lightning. I got to see it twice on the way here :) !

16 JanHusband.

4 Comments »

I have a wonderful husband. Who makes me my new found favorite snack (lettuce with mayo and turkey) when I’m irritated and grumpy. Who lets me drown out the noise with my ipod. Who traps me in big tight hugs when I feel like punching the wall. Who spends all day tricking me so he could nibble on my neck just because he rolled it on a silly Valentines Day card at Target. Who gives me sleepy time rubs when I need to sleep and I just cant. Who wakes me up with dinner in hand and sweet kisses so I dont get grumpy. Who spends all day long playing video games but will put it down when  I ask him to look at something.

I finally cut my hair today, super short. It feels… refreshing. My head feels a ton lighter :) .

To be honest, this rumor about an Earthquake on Monday is making me paranoid. Hmph.

15 JanFinally got my Moleskine!

No Comments »

YES! I finally got my Moleskine! It took me forever to decide on what color I wanted. It was between the blues or the pinks. I was actually looking for the Moleskine planner but considering I already have 2 planners, I’ll go with the notebooks. I was debating if I should had gotten the blank pages instead, but I dont draw and I doubt I’ll start any time soon.

Now that I have them, I dont know what to do with them :( I was thinking of turning one into a scrapbook. Maybe start printing out some pictures and make it into a “thinks I like about 2010″ scrapbook. I need somewhere to hold my Wicked tickets, after all :) . But what should I do with the other one? I was going to borrow and idea Barbz had and turn it into a recipe book, but I barely bake anymore. And not only that, but its hard to get kitchen time when people are home. Maybe when I move out, I’ll buy another set of Moleskine’s and dedicate it to my baking (since I know, I need to touch up on that soon)!

I’ve discovered a new favorite snack of mine!

Lettuce and Mayo! This is heavenly! I added some shredded sandwich Turkey to it and ohmygosh! Delicious! The crispy lettuce with the tarty mayo, they’re amazing together. I usually just dip the lettuce in the mayo, yum!

Speaking of food, Panera Bread released a new sandwich not too long ago. The Napa Almond Chicken Salad. It has grapes and almonds in it, its so delicious. Fresh and sweet and it just screams Spring to me! I pair mine with Broccoli Cheddar Soup and two bags of chips. The best part about college? Eating at Panera Bread!

Lately I’ve been itching to make my own WordPress theme’s. It’s hard since I’m fairly new to WordPress, I just started working with it mid last year. I dont doubt it may take me years to figure out how to code WordPress, which sucks. I wish I was a faster learner, I’m going to be taking Web Design at my college again this semester. The only thing that sucks about it is that there’s only one Web Design class, there’s no part II or anything. Boo. I actually found the first book in the stack to be extremely helpful to people who dont understand a thing about WordPress, I may buy it soon. I have a habit of only buying books from Amazon.

Not much else has been going on over here. I’m waiting for school to start, looking for a job… I literally, just yesterday, sent in the papers to get our marriage license so I can start the process of changing my last name (which I’m not excited for). I’m suppose to be cleaning my room right now, but I’m just way too lazy. My days are dwindling down! I made a bet with my husband that I’d get my room sorted and cleaned out by the end of the month and if I dont… well, then he gets to come in here (without me at the house so I dont freak out) and clean and sort it out for me. I’m hoping it doesnt come down to that. The last time he tried to help me sort out my closet, I had a nervous breakdown. It was literally something you would see from Hoarders. Simply because I am a hoarder. I have an emotional attachment to every single thing in my room, which makes it impossible to throw anything out.
