oh and Happy Labor Day.

Let me entertain you with the hotness of Channing Tatum. Oh and he's wearing white.

*ignore the fact that Smelly Cyrus is on*

2012 12 Things: here

For my Bucket List: here

As a reminder... Here are the things I want to accomplish in 2013.

1. Attend a Baking/Bread Class.
2. 30 days Work-Out trial.
3. Volunteer at an Animal Shelter
4. Watch a live soccer game
5. Try a new crafty skill
6. Attend a Bucket List Concert: Bon Jovi, U2, Coldplay (can't get enough of them!), Celine Dion, Jay-Z
7. The Color Run in Los Angeles
8. Make/Bake a Pie
9. Take more pictures with my film cameras and create an album
10. Swim with the Dolphins
11. Dare Devil: Go Bungee Jumping
12. Take a picture with Ariel, the Little Mermaid

Woop tee do. I can't believe it's September. Crazy. This year has flown so fast, sometimes I feel I just wanna yell, "PAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and do the Cha-Cha. Ok not really. I was just being dramatic.

One thing that got crossed out for August was #3! Well, I did not really volunteered at a shelter but I actually volunteered during an Adoption fair with Bill Foundation. And boy it was fun. I can't wait to do it again. I might do it this Sunday :) 

Woo... 6 out of 12 goals accomplished! Not bad, eh? So for this month, I cross my fingers for #10! I booked the trip for that (will be done in Bali!)... Now #11... Not sure. Apparently they closed down the bungee jumping in Bali, so we will see.

#9 must happen. I have rolls that need to get developed. I might just do it in Indonesia since it's cheap. But we will see. I am determined to bring my SLR with me and a couple of film rolls.

I'm super excited for this Month. September means back to school... meaning less children in the mall and Disneyland. Yes, I'm mean.

Have any goals? Please comment below. I would love to read 'em!

6 Things

Oh how I love some Q&As. My bloggy BFF just tagged me on some good questions while I was away in Europe, so in this lazy Saturday night (after a crazy 4 hour nap to get used to this jet lag of mine!), with my Mum in the background playing some really depressing sound French song, I here will answer some questions from Simply Evani.

1. What is the motto/quote that defines your life?
2. Who is the most influential person in your life?
3. Favorite childhood snack?
4. What’s your favorite thing to buy that’s under $20?
5. What 3 words define your blog?
6. If you get any college major in the world, what would you choose?
7. Where is your favorite place in the world?
8. If you could break one law with no penalties, what would it be?
9. What is your favorite day of the year?

She said I can pick 6 out of the 9. Ooo toughie.

1. What is the motto/quote that defines your life?
"Everything happens for a reason". Kinda cliche but I truly believe this quote. From break-ups to hook-ups, from new life to death, from promotions to terminations, you get the gist. Anything good or bad that happens in my life, I believe there is a reason behind it, even though most of the time I may not know why. God moves in mysterious ways.
3. Favorite childhood snack?
Goldfish. ZOMG. Until now. I can eat the whole bag in one sitting, #noshame. Gah. I want some now!!!
4. What's your favorite thing to buy that's under $20?
Gurl, this is hard. I love stationaries. Good thing they are mostly under $20. I love food. Good thing A LOT of foods are under $20. I love beer. Good thing A LOT of beers are under $20. I love baking stuffs. Good thing many of them are $20 (i.e: spatula, cookie cutters, cupcake liners...)
6. If you get any college major in the world, what would you choose?
At this moment, I want to pursue a degree in Culinary. Baking all day? Yes, please
7. Where is your favorite place in the world?
Honestly, my bed. Second, the kitchen. Hahaha. 
9. What is your favorite day of the year?

My birthday and New Years Eve.

Ah, gotta love some good Q&As. Thanks, Evani

And I am Back...

Just wanted to say a quick hello!
I made it back to the States alive and well... Well, with a slight headache and jet lag, feeling like I have a really bad hangover (surprisingly I only drank a whole bottle of wine during this trip. Yes. Just a whole bottle. In one sitting. #nbd)
Be prepare. I'm gonna show you some more pictures during the week. Can't wait to show all of you :)
Here's a little preview :)

ciao ciao, Rima
