What have I been up to?

So I was M.I.A. for a good three weeks from here. Although I had two posts up in my other blog (Icecreamoholicities), it was more of throwback stuff. They were old posts I had in my Facebook, and I thought of posting them there since I was conjuring some things for that blog. Oh I do have a couple of things for sure, but they'll have to wait until next week.

In the meantime, let's get back to business. The last couple of weeks were the last weeks of the semester, and it meant papers and exams and all that. Basically, that was what made me busy.

Also, last week, my other half graduated from college. YAY! ^_^
So now he is on to the next chapter of his life, and I couldn't be more proud. :)

 Okay, on to our next agenda. I will be stating the rest randomly.

Awww. Isn't he cute? Everyone, this is my 8-year old teddy bear. I still sleep with him, alright. With him and his younger sister, another cuddly blue teddy as well.

And here we are each donning our own Krispy Kreme hats one Sunday night. Happiness ^_^

Meet my cousin Pam. This was during a dinner out with cousins, but this picture was taken after the dinner. We were in Chatime. Milk tea happiness :D

Obviously, I cut my hair yet again. Quite drastic, don't you think? But if you already follow me on Twitter, you know that I've been planning this for weeks. I believe this deserves another blog post, yeah?

Last but not the least is my attempt at french tips manicure.
I used to really like french tips back in high school, but since the nightly dishwashing chores and the laundry I have to do, maintaining this type of manicure became a hassle. When I did have them, I had them done by a manicurist. So anyway, my boyfriend mentioned recently that he liked these kind of manicures (I usually have one-color bright nails). And since it's summer break and I have nothing much to do, I decided to give it a try. So here we are.

w/o flash obviously

and another w/o flash

Not bad for a first time, eh? It's not perfect and my nails definitely need to be more square-ish to get that whole french tip vibe, but I'm quite contented with the result.

A breakdown of what I did:
I started with no nail polish since I anticipated making a lot of mistakes with the white one. Next, I applied white nail polish on the tips like I would with a normal nail polish (notice NOT left to right across the nail). I let that dry and then I applied clear nail polish on to everything, and that's about it.

Do pardon the pictures taken without flash. T_T
Also, my nails on the right hand are weird, yes. Explanation about that can be found here.


So that ends my post right there. I hope you somehow enjoyed reading about my 2-3 weeks away from the bloggerverse. I'll be having my "taste of summer" tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to blog about it. My family and I will be going to a newly-opened resort and I might write a review about it so stay tuned.

Have a happy summer!
