Love They Say - Tegan & Sara

I'm in a sappy mood aka the blues aka I miss my Boyfriend (thanks to our amazing vacation). He'll be gone to Detroit next week and then soon in April (on my Birthday) he'll be heading to Brazil. All for work. Such a hard worker he is.

I was listening to the recent album of Tegan & Sara (love them) and this song caught my attention.

Go ahead and listen. The lyrics made me smitten.



Favorites:

• First time you held my hand I knew I was meant for you; First time you kissed my lips I knew I was meant for you
• Love, they say it heals all wounds; Love removes the hurt in you; Love, I know that this is true.

It's pretty cool when a brand new song you've never heard before brings up all these emotions. Awesome.

Still Have the Blues

I'm missing this right now.

I'm Back... Plus, The Infamous Blue Box.

Well Hello People.

As you know from the title,  yes I am back to my home in Sunny SoCal. I love traveling yet I miss my comfortable bed. Nothing beats a comfy bed after a vacation. I'm on staycation because I need to recover from the 8 hours jetlag. I can feel my sleepiness kicking in and so far, my stomach has been upset since this morning. Boo.

I just finished unpacking and sorting things out. I have yet to go thru my pictures (I took a buttload of them! Eek!) and will slowly post them on the blog. It may be a weekly/bi-weekly entry. We'll see.

If you follow me on instagram, thank you for liking the pictures. Also, you may remember this picture...

Well hello there, Ms. Tifanny (& Co.). You were a surprise when you were given to me by The Pillow while we were having dinner at the Eiffel Tower.

I had my friends/co-workers SWEARING to me that I will come back with a ring on it (insert Beyoncé's song here). But I know they were thinking, I will come back engaged.

Well, they're 1/2 true. Yes, I came back with a ring. A Promise Ring. Well, this is my second promise ring. I broke my first one (... an excuse to get another one? haha). And with this ring, The Robzter aka Pillow-Man promised me 2 things... that I won't go in detail. Hehe.

He knows me so well. I love simple things, so he kept the ring simple. I work with my hands and I get pretty rough with them, especially at work. Woo!

Well, it's nice to be back. Chimmy missed me and he couldn't keep his paws off of me. It's nice to be loved.

Croissants and Espresso,

Bonjour!

People. I am alive.
I made it to Paris.
Tomorrow is my Croissant class in Montmarte.

I miss Barcelona but good thing we left at the right time. It was raining hard. I think it was crying for us since we were leaving Catalonia. Barcelona will always be a place to visit again. If you're able, catch a FC Barça game. It will convert you as a new fan. If you CAN, watch a Champions League game. We witnessed an INCREDIBLE come back game for FC Barça. It was super intense, it was funny to see how nervous my boyfriend was (Soccer is his first love. So go figure). Do it.

Blogging will be scarce. I'm on vacation. I intent to enjoy it! Which means, tons of pictures coming your way.

Snow is all over Paris and it's freezing. I was totally expecting Spring-like weather, so imagine the clothes I brought. Womp womp. I have to shop for some clothes tomorrow. Boo and Yeah at the same time.

Well, I found the Locket Bridge on the Seine River, accidentally. It was on my list but to find it accidentally was amazing!

Wish me luck for my class!

Bisous,
Rima
