love in the afternoon

The boyfriend use to be more romantic. Why is it that boys try harder in the beginning?

Before we started dating, me and some friends (including said bf) went on a midnight hike and I had mentioned to him that I wanted someone to name a star for me, just like in A Walk to Remember. So for my first birthday we spent together, he had a star named after me.

I had also told him I never had anyone officially ask me to be their Valentine. So one day before our first Vday together, I walked into his apartment where he surprised me with candles and flower petals spelled out with 'Will you be my valentine'.

Let me state that this was four years ago. It's about time he brought back some romance into the relationship. I am planning to somehow slip in the fact that I never had and always wanted to have a picnic and spend hours on a canoe.

Any other romantic ideas I need to slip him? (He can be pretty unimaginative)

summer 2010

I decided I'm going to travel the world. I'm going to quit my job, buy a one way ticket to ___, and take it from there... (summer of 2010).

How much money should I save to start off? If all fails, I will become an Au Pair.

Bonjour.

This weekend was totally dedicated to getting healthy. I've been a bit ill lately and hopefully yesterday was the peak of it. But I'm proud to say that I've stayed away from all things sweet (except for fruits of course). With nothing to do but "heal" on saturday, I've decided to aggressively pick up French again. I've been saying this for years and now, I will finally follow through.

One of my best buddy and old roommate wants me to move back to NY to live with her. And it's always been in my future plans. But with the economy so screwed up right now, I'm not sure I can just pick up and leave LA, my job, my home, and my friends.

But we REALLY want to live together and we've always talked about being a bit reckless (since we're in our twenties), and move to Europe for a good amount of time and just live and play. And if we're going to wait for the economy to improve (which might take us into our thirties [let's be honest]), we are thinking grad school. That way, it's not just "playing recklessly," we would come back with degrees.

I think it's a BRILLIANT idea. I hope we really do follow through. So look out for us Europe, we might be coming (Fall 2010).

ciao bella

this day just got a little bit sadder

Mondays aren't usually terrible. It's the least busiest dy at work, and unless I've partied the entire weekend before, Mondays are the days when I'm full of energy. Today was just a normal day, that is until I received some sad news over BBM. I just found out that my crush has a girlfriend. It's the "word on the street" that he has a gf in the UK, but there is no official confirmation. So I think I will take E's advise and wait until it's for sure.

I thought doing some online shopping would help, but it only made me more sad because there are so many things I want but I need to save money for a new apartment.
