JUICE-CEY!
I love the little Juicy Couture charms. I hang them on my purses. It just brings a bit of color and sparkle and you can change it up all the time depending on your mood. Jessica brought to my attention a new charm...and I WANT IT!!! I looooooove sushi! I'd die if they made a salmon nigiri one.

Life Passing Me By
I feel like life is passing by so quickly. I don't even know where the time goes. Week after week, it seems like Monday comes faster than that guy running in the Comcast commercial. It's starting to scare me that graduation is coming, which means I am finally entering into the "adult world". Although excitement probably trumps the fear I feel. I cannot wait till I get a job and live life without homework and have a paycheck! I've been bummed about the lack of job prospects but at the same time, I realize it's just another life process with a lesson I can learn from. Hopefully, the rough job search will make me stronger and more appreciative of the job I will have in the future.... although sometimes, I hope a job will just fall into my lap. As much as I love challenges and overcoming them, it'd be nice to have good things just come my way sometimes. I am veeeery anxious to experience the joy and pride I will have when I finally land a job because I know I have worked hard for it. So until then, it's finishing the last few weeks of school, assignments, and practicum.
Which speaking of graduation, I am still bummed my grandpa is not around to see it. I know he would be the one most proud and appreciative of my success in academics. Unfortunately, he never even made it to see my high school graduation, much less college and now grad school graduation. I know he's proud, but I just wish I had the opportunity to see his face at least once as I walk across a stage in my cap and gown.

Fun > School
This summer was awesome. It was a much needed break filled with fun times...besides the numerous rejection letters in response to my job hunt. I have gotten so much closer to many of my friends. Nursing school was definitely impeding friendships, considering I spent most of my time spewing out papers or buried in a book.
However, I am having waaaay too much fun for my own good. I have extended Summer for an extra 4 weeks by now and should probably get my head grounded into the idea of WRITING MY COMP EXAM! Senioritis...or whatever the grad school equivalent of that is totally kicking in. Not only am I graduating soon, but I don't have to be in school ever, ever again in 2 months and 29 days or something. With that idea looming in the near future, how am I suppose to flip my brain back on one last time?
Turning 25...it's quite depressing actually. I have been in school forever. I don't think turning 25 would be as bad if I was working and feeling more productive. I mean, school is productive...but I'm ready to be in the "real world." Although thinking about the process, like interviews and such, makes my stomach churn and makes me wanna vomit like I did on my birthday. Haha. The only positive I can think of for growing old is that my future birthdays will consist of more fun activities since I'd have a paycheck. Oh and hopefully, I'd be wiser. And my wisdom tells me I should go work on my comp now...
But what's a post without some pictures hahaha. Visual highlights of summer:
Trying on these stretchable clothes at Walgreens.
Ice-skating on Cheryl's birthday!
Dinner for sept. nurses @ Hotei
Post-ugly pics.
At a very small bar.
Beating the Dodgers.
Giants game #15 or something
#16? with crazy bleachers people!
quarter century birthday
Miss Lovely who goes disappearing for weeks at a time!
The Vegas Crew...next weekend! Man, so much for getting back into school-mode!

Postcards
I absolutely looooooooooove getting postcards from my flight attendant cousin (and from myself when I get to travel!). I am so jealous of how many corners of the world my cousin has seen. Lucky for me, he sends me a little piece of whatever city he is in....some of the time haha. But over the last 3 years, I have collected so many postcards, it no longer fit in that little bulletin board I originally purchased. Thus, I came up with this $3.00 solution.
- Bamboo stick: free from the backyard....my mom had leftovers =P
- Twine: $1.50 from Daiso
- Mini clothespin: $1.50 from Daiso.
I like that it's not very structured and I can definitely fit more postcards. I'm pretty sure I was inspired by the seashell display featured in the backyard post =P

Summer time
I'm really enjoying my last summer vacation ever. I thought by week 2, I'd be complaining of boredom. Which I did initially, but now, I've gotten into my vacay routine. I sleep at 3, I wake up at 11. I wake up and turn on the TV and I watch Say Yes to the Dress and Rock the Reception. I'm doing so many things I want to do. Catch up on TV, read books, watch movies, scrapbooking, cleaning my room!, cleaning my closet!!....going to museum free days, hiking, playing MJ haha...
Now I just need to add "going to the gym" back to the list. That is actually easier when I had school. I'll just stop by the gym after class. But now that I have no where to be everyday, I find it hard to make myself go out JUST for the gym. If only I feel the same about the gym as I do the mall. I'd go out to the mall just to buy a rubber band.

My mom's backyard
I just wanted to do a post on my mom's backyard because it provided me lots of opportunities to practice my photography skills (or lack thereof). And it also provided me with loads of fresh, organic veggies =) Yum! Featured are current flowers that are blooming (which I can't name) and souvenirs we brought back from Oahu.
We got this seashell thing at the Aloha Swap Meet
The planter boxes she built by herself houses her vegetables!
Area for relaxation and that bamboo screen hides her storage area for tools and such.
The new fence and bench to display her plants.
Seashell chime also from Aloha Swap Meet.
Some sorta of vegetable...I have no clue what it is haha. She grows lots of diff types.
Cabbage! This one I can name.
A pretty flower....
My mom initially planted flowers only, then somewhere along the way she started growing vegetables. Now we don't shop for veggies anymore. Even Happy has his personal strawberry bush. He loves strawberries.
Perhaps because it was my second time going to the ER with my mom, it's scaring me that as I'm growing older, so are my parents. It is way too early to lose them or even think about it, but I just find that my mom is such an amazing, strong woman. It scares me so bad when she is vulnerable and weak. Anyhow, here's her backyard!!
