I’m thinking and thinking about what I want to write about. I wanted to give this blog more of a direction this year but I guess that it will always be my personal blog, so it doesn’t have any direction at all. When I decide to launch a business I’ll just open a different website and then it will have a direction. In the meantime, let’s have some fun n_n.

Oh man, I ♥ so many things this week! It’s incredible.

Spring Break anticipation (!!!) ♥ Job hunting (although I haven’t heard anything back yet) ♥ Taking silly pictures in the middle of a very boring class ♥ PC ♥ Pink nails ♥ Extremely cheap but delicious pink lipstick (I’m talking about $1 MXN per tube $1 MXN (!!!) ) ♥ Nested parenthesis ♥ Pi Day ♥ Playing Plants vs Zombies both on my PC and my iPod Touch ♥ Driving ♥ Sunny (albeit windy) days ♥ Hanging out with L&L (even if it’s just to do homework) ♥ Getting emails from important people ♥ Ripping out pages from magazines and pasting them on my Unicorn Wall ♥ Lady Gaga as my traffic jam soundtrack ♥ Looking for dresses for my friends’ graduation party ♥ Hugging my boys (& PC) ♥ Long weekends ♥ Designing ♥ Cuddling with my puppy ♥ Watching movies & series & cartoons on my laptop ♥ Planning new blog design ♥ changing my theme all the time ♥ dressing like a rockstar
