Let’s see how far back I can remember…

So last week, we had to print out chapter’s since University of Phoenix doesn’t have hard copy text books, a lot of our “chapter reading” is online and needs to be printed out (unless you’re okay with reading it as a PDF file, I personally don’t really care). The good thing is that they allow you to print out as many pages as you need to at the campus, for free! I go to two colleges, so we had to find time between lunch and before class to run to UoP and print out our chapter reading. The campus is small, but it’s nice. And comfy.

I spotted these at Target!! They put out all the Easter candy and decor! I love Easter. It has the best candy! Hehe! These are my favorite Easter chocolates! They only come out during Easter too, which sucks! I went crazy. But husband didn’t let me buy any. He’s getting a little strict with me not eating candy lately…. hmph.

Most days consist of this, entire afternoons in Panera Bread before kickboxing class doing homework. Husband was turning in our learning team homework while I finished my lunch. Aww, isn’t he just the sweetest? And I know, could my stuff be any more girly? Pink laptop, MAC Hello Kitty carrying bag… lol.

I was craving granola! And I need to add more yogurt and fruit into my diet. I don’t eat enough. I love Panera Bread’s granola. It’s so so… so delicious!! I just hate how fast the yogurt warms up and it get’s all watery… .

Speaking of, I was looking for healthy snacks. I know I need to eat a little more healthier and I tend to skip breakfast a lot, so I was looking for some nuts and trail mix snack packs to snack on in my room. I’m lazy and I hate making food, plus, snacking on nuts is good for you. So I found these!

The Cocoa Roast Almonds are okay… they don’t taste much like dark chocolate (lol, I don’t know what I was expecting but it’s just funny to think about… was I expecting dark chocolate covered almonds?! Haha) but it is better than eating plain almonds. Plus they’re 100 calorie packs!

The Tropical Blend trail mix is pretty good. It comes with banana’s, mangoes and pineapples. The mangoes were making my stomach hurt after awhile, but everything else was really good. Weird, considering I’m Filipino and dried mango is one of my favorites snacks… unless they’re “dried” differently?

A few new purchases over the last month or so… oh how I miss splurging! But that’s what got me into all this debt trouble in the first place…. splurging. Makeup and books, what a combo right?! I finished To Serve My Country a few days ago and now I’m reading Loose Girl. I may do a review on here for it, or just go to my book blog here and look out for a review (I did one but I’m gonna re-do it because I wasn’t really happy with it. I’m horrible at reviewing things, but practice makes perfect right?)!

I spent the majority of the week taking care of Martin cause he was sick with the flu. He was sick for about 6 days, which is odd since he’s never sick. And if he is, at most, its for only one day. So the majority of the week when we weren’t at school was spent making and eating Chicken Noodle Soup, fleece blankets, DayQuils and lots of movies. It’s hard to take care of him since we don’t live together and he has to go home at the end of the night .

I was craving this one night so I made it. It’s my childhood favorite snack. It’s just bananas, brown sugar and lemon. I use to put Sprite instead of lemons when I was younger, I don’t know when I started putting lemon… but I think it taste better this way. Yum! I have really weird favorite snacks don’t I? Lettuce & Mayo, this and I make “turkey rolls”. Which is basically turkey with mayo on it and lettuce and I roll it up. Oh and cheese! I hate waiting for food to be made lol.

We got to watch Alice in Wonderland 3D on Sunday! I love how Martin is always so willing to watch movies with me that he knows I’m obsessed with. He really wanted to watch Alice cause he knows how much I love Alice (kinda like how he really wanted to watch Time Travelers Wife cause I was reading the book at the time. Or how he really wanted to watch The Lightning Thief cause he knows I love Mythology and I bought that book but lost it before I could start reading it… we still have to watch that movie too). I loved the movie! I loved how Cheshire and Hatter had much more larger parts in this movie. I love the action. I love the story line. It was amazing! I really want to see it again!

I don’t see how people don’t like this movie. The only thing I can think of is that they’re stuck on the Disney version. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is based on the second book of the Alice series: Through The Looking Glass. And on top of that, Disney does not own Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland was written by someone else. I don’t think a lot of people know that. A lot of the Disney cartoons are actually not owned by Disney. Trust me, I was heartbroken to find this out myself a few years ago!

Meet my Robo Dwarf Hamster… Boq (yes as in, from the Wicked book/musical). Get it? Munchkin? Dwarf hamster? Haha! He’s very sketchy and he’s not use to us touching him just yet even though I got him in November when Martin was away at Basic Training. My mom surprised me with him . I love his furry little hands!

And according to this picture, he needs his nails cut. Oh my lol.

So I found out yesterday that one of the layouts I had for my blog prevented tags from being attached to entries. Which sucks because I have a bunch of tags that aren’t attached to any entries and a bunch of entries with no tags! So far, up to August has no tags. I’m scared to see how far it goes! So now I have to go fix that… ack!

The week itself wasn’t stressful, just the things I was worrying about through out the week. We have two very important (hopefully) life changing appointments this week and I’m very very excited, but nervous too…

This is the second Ladybug I’ve seen this year! I was leaving Panera Bread and spotted this guy on the floor. I had to take a picture. Ladybugs out, you know what that means… Spring is near!! Finally . Saw another one with its wings out walking around a few steps later. Ooh, wanna know a secret? Ladybug larva’s (and finding Ladybug egg’s on leaves/flowers) were one of my most favorite things to do when I was a kid! But I don’t like Ladybugs crawling on me, actually, I don’t like touching bugs at all.

It was a sunny day for the first time in a lonnnng while so husband wanted to do what he loves doing. He wanted to walk. So we walked around the Panera Bread plaza and went into World Market. World Market is one of my favorite stores because when holidays come around, its the one store that goes all out. I’m sad the one in my town closed down last year . I was surprised to see they already set up for Easter! I must have squealed and dropped my husband’s hand to go run around in circles around the Easter section. Oh how does he deal with me haha! I love Easter, it has the most yummiest candies and the the most prettiest colors!

I’ve had my eyes on this since Sept! I’ve debated on if I should collect Pez dispensers but that might turn into a full blow obsession. No! Gotta stop it before it starts!

I had my heart set on going to Todai for dinner after kickboxing class the other day and husband did his I’m-agreeing-but-I’m-really-kidding crap and I fell for it. Don’t mess with me after kickboxing, I end up starving after that class! So I went to the next best place… Manchu Wok! I use to come here all the time as a kid with my brother, I feel bad I’ve neglected it for a few years. It’s still as delicious as I remember. And! They started serving Deep Fried Cheesecake, had to try that!

He likes to photo bomb me when I take pictures of food knowing I’m going to blog about it later. So there, happy husband? Grrrr. But this is the Deep Fried Cheesecake. It was pretty good. It wasn’t oily sickening deep fried. It kinda tasted like… custard in a flaky crust. It was good! And it was less than $2!

After job hunting with the husband the other day, we decided to make some cookies (plus it started raining). My mom made these chocolate chip cookies last spring that had the swirl chocolate chips in it and I fell in love. I’ve been waiting for them to come back and I spotted these at Safeway so I had to make some! We ended up burning them (but its okay, I kinda like extra extra crispy cookies).

Husband was getting mad cause every time he turned around a square was missing! Haha. Then he started trying to scare me with the worms in your stomach story. Cookies, cookie dough, whats the difference! They’re both delicious! Besides, we didnt have room on our pan to fit 24 cookies anyway so if you ask me, I think I helped the cause !

I was cleaning out my drawers looking for my social security card (which I can not find! OMG! I need that to change my last name!!!) and I found this! I have both of the high school ID’s of his when he was at his regular high school (before he requested to go to the continuation high school we met at) and I can not believe how skinny he was when I met him! I kinda miss it! His skinny-ness and his spiky hair and his puff jacket he always wore (even in the summer time). Awww, I miss my dope friend boo! This is what my bestest friend looks like! Isn’t he a cutie?!

I bought this last year, once I heard the movie was coming out and I was planning on reading it, but I didn’t because everyone said it was disturbing and creepy. But I ended up reading it at Borders on my previous Wicked day and I was addicted. I sat and read the first four chapters. I’m so lucky that my husband plays video games cause he totally didn’t mind that I was reading for so long, he always encourages me to keep reading until I’m done. But I was getting hungry so I stopped. I went home and started reading my copy, I’m addicted!

I also bought two new books (I should really stop buying new books, all the ones under it is part of my to be read). Dream Factory and Loose Girl. I can’t wait to start reading these two (and all the ones under)!

Oh and before I forget…

HAPPY VALENTiNES DAY!
