journey series: things i'll miss pt.2

Reese's is a fave I can take along with me.
Just sayin' I think I better go to costco to get a big bag of these!

new music for the new week.

I saw his debut album on sale in Hollister the other night, and please don't ask me why I went into Hollister the other night, ... far from my alley. I know.

Anyway, I love Ry Cuming, a friend introduced me to a song of his because she saw him open for Justin Nozuka at a show last year I believe. And she mentioned him because he's an Aussie. So you know ;) Anyway after listening to his single, found he was worth listening to. He's got a nice tone to his voice, he sounds a little like Chris Martin; and his style of song is very much like the music I'd say I listen to.

I've always loved his single "Always Remember Me" feat. Sara Bareilles (who I happen to also love <3!) - posted for tunes ages ago: (always remember me.)

From the 11 songs on the album, I personally like his slower tempo songs better, my other fave in addition to "ARM," would have to be Harder to Say, and among the catchier tempo songs, I like How Could You Say.

Here's a little taste of the album: Harder To Say

journey series: things i'll miss, pt.1

continuing on with my journey series posts... let's change the mood a bit. i've had a tough couple months, felt a little stressed, battled through some storms, so forgive me if i've been sounding a little too serious. now, on a lighter note... i'll continue on posting things all about, well, my journey.
the months are closing in, and it's the last stretch, can't say everything's perfect, but i can't just stop now.

anyway, the other day i read my new student packet info, and i totally forgot about food or snacks that i could take to oz with me... posted below, however, are food that i CANNOT :( take with me.
i'm gonna miss in-n-out for sure, street tacos (and their amazing salsas!), and thai food (from a particular resto in hollywood!)

gonna trade these three in for nandos and peri-peri sauches, sushi rolls (that are served as unsliced actual hand rolls) and their soy sauce in cute "fishie" containers, and mushroom meat pies!

In-N-Out Burgers

Street Tacos

Thai Town Los Angeles, and my fave place in Thai Town... Thai Patio! :)

i almost forgot about this.

Ephesians 3:20

New International Version (NIV)

 ²⁰ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Our God is Able.

Praising my way to victory. Amen!

Midnight Mishaps.

So, my hands are shaking both because the windows are open and there's a chilly breeze blowin' through, and it's the middle of the night, AND... I just happened to receive a package from Burberry worth $2010 freaking simoleons, NO, ACTUALLY, I MEAN REAL DOLLARS.

**(post is published late... received package Wednesday night)

WHAT THE HUBALAHEY! (I need that money actually... !!)

So, how many times do you get something so freaking expensive in the mail?
All I ordered was an eyeliner my gift card could afford, it was that or a votive candle (which would cost me extra for shipping!?!)... and I get an extra box of "goodies".

I kinda thought it was Christmas, or an early bday gift, or even, that I won a secret Burberry contest... but it happens to be, ... A NO. Just an ultimate shipping mistake. What a joke to play warehouse folks. Hmph! (Yes, it is boxed up again for return.)

Well, here's photos of MY purchase, I did get an extra vial of perfume! (FANCY gift, unlike the uber tiny testers you get from MACYs or any other chain department stores...) and all the other little tidbits like the gift bag, receipt envelope (I know... it has an envelope) and the tissue were nice touches. Hey, if you know me, I do like paper and packaging and all those little details... so... without further ado. My $39 order.

Same print embossed on both paper bag and envelope. (Ah, it felt so fancy!!)

My eyeliner and small gift from purchase!
(I've used "fancy" way too much in this post, but I'm gonna use it again!) FANCY!
