GUESS You just have to love it.

This watch has to be the sickest thing, I have seen out there.

It is soo awesome, I might even trade my Coldplay concert ticket for this watch!

Just coz this is sooo slick!

It’s about 100sum bucks on ebay. haha

Santa Grandpa please consider the Wish List seriously =)

Well the second item is letsay, it is just a lipgloss.

But it has that pale pinkish look that I always crave for! Plus a glossy finish. So chick.

Funny, since when I even crave for lipglosses.

Economy is in the turmoil and with the summer coming up, it is best for me to spend less, save more, & have fun along the way & be happy with the simplest things in life. After all, the whole taking-a-year-off-from-college is to save lot of money so I don’t have to use up my Mom’s cash earned through hard work. Talking about tens and thousands of dollars here! I will have to stop shopping at Express ( which means less sight of the handsome guy who works there) and start wearing them clothes that have been piling up in my closet!!!  Anyways, I am so glad that I took philosophy class at college, if I haven’t, who knows how long of a life I would live “just sleepwalking”.

There are some very simple but serious steps that I have to do to improve myself over the summer.

1. Be Happy and Nice

to myself, to my dear Mother, friends, and every people whom I contact with. After all, these are the people that matter and make my life meaningful.

2. Stop Being Lazy Ass & Do Yourself a Good Thing

Drawer next to my bed is filled with junks that I haven’t taken care of for over months, & my closet is full of piled up clothes, and my stuffs are disorganized!!! It makes me sick to think how lazy I am.

3. Read Books

I can’t stress enough how much reading a book is probably by ten or more times beneficial than playing poker on Facebook, seriously. I have at least 3 or 4 books that I have bought, and I haven’t finished reading. Now, I am even starting to skip reading the monthly Cosmos.

4. Find Another Job

Even it seems impossible to, I have to give it a try. I have three days free of the whole week, I think I would be happy to have one day free and work for the rest of the week. At least for the one or two months of the summer.

4. Keep Sticking to My Work Out Plan

No, I am not following this guide that I have copied and pasted on this blog before, I actually went and signed up for a gym & a trainer even set out a plan for me. So all I have to do is stick with it.

5. Respect & Love My Mother

Lately, I have been disrespecting my mother not outside, but inside. Belittling her abilities, but fvck who am I to think that? when I can’t survive a  life without her. I can go on to explain more, but I really need to make my mother feel happy and proud. Never forget the family as well.

6. Friends!

For some reason, I tend to sway away from my friends and after weeks of no contact, expect them to be all loving and caring. I don’t think that is how friendship works, and if I can’t have a meaningful relationship with my friends then life is also a pretty misery right there!

7. Stop All the Korean-mania ( & this needs no further explanation)

8. 9… There should be more but I should end this with simple words “Always be grateful and happy about what I already have in my life, and don’t be miserable because of what I don’t have.”

So these are some serious things that I have to immediately take action and do it.

But here are some small and cool things, I found to do in Summer.

• Bathe in the ocean
• Build a sandcastle
• Bury someone in the sand
• Buy a movie projector and charge admission to view the movie that is projected on the side of your house at night. (set up chairs, couches, snack bar etc.)
• Celebrate on the beach with an ice cream fight – then dive in with your clothes on
• Cook your breakfast on an outdoor fire
• Find a field of wild flowers and sell bouquets for 5 bucks each
• Float down a slow river on a tube
• Get a random summer job with a friend
• Go boating
• Go camping on the beach
• Go far a tram ride
• Go on a rock find
• Go paddle boating
• Go swimming with all your clothes on
• Go to a classical concert outdoors
• Go to an afternoon baseball game
• Go to an outdoor café

• Go to the beach with sandwiches and a fantastic friend
• Go to your nearest trampoline and bounce
• Have a classic movie night outside with friends
• Learn a new water dive
• Learn to throw a boomerang
• Look for sand dollars and shells at a beach
• On a super hot day, get a kiddy wading pool – fill it up – then sit in it for most of the afternoon
• Play backgammon outdoors somewhere
• Play croquet with party beverages
• Play some children’s games
• Put up a basketball hoop
  

• Ride a bike off a dock right into the lake!
• Ride every ride at the carnival
• Set up the sprinkler
• Sign up for a summer camp
• Sleep on your roof
• Start a herb garden
• Summer snowball fight (if you have an indoor ice arena close by, there should always be a big pile of snow at the side of the building – just take a couple of coolers and fill them up with snow, then go to the beach when it’s 90 degrees and have a snowball fight)
• Swim at the pool
• Swim in a lake or a river
• That old favorite – badminton
  

• Watch fireflies light their bums up
• Yee-ha – take a hayride

“Think of this as work-on-your-weakness day,” says Kirsch.

What to do:
# 20 minutes of cardio activity

# “Then, if your arms need more sculpting than other areas of your body, repeat Tuesday’s workout. If your back and shoulders feel especially weak, do Wednesday’s workout. If your butt, legs, and abs need even more work than they got on Monday and Thursday, do Monday’s workout again,” says Kirsch. “This way, you won’t be repeating the same moves you did yesterday, which can be tough on your muscles.”

What to eat:
Want to drop a few pounds, too? Here are some things to consider when planning your meals this month:

# Do make lean protein the main part of lunch and dinner.
# Do pick dark leafy greens, such as spinach, when choosing vegetables, instead of starchy potatoes.
# Do avoid alcohol, which contains a lot of sugar, whenever possible.
# Don’t consume too many high-calorie tropical fruits, such as pineapples, bananas, and coconuts.
# Don’t indulge in a lot of sugary desserts. Try satisfying your sweet tooth with fruit sorbet.
