...Life's Handbook...

doing some soul searching...

maybe this advice could help.... its pretty gay.. but what do i got to lose?

LIFE'S HANDBOOK 2010

Health:

1. Drink plenty of water.

2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.

3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants & has to be killed, bled, cured, aged, smoked, fried, or frozen

4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.

5. Make time to pray...

6. Play more games. Feed the birds. Plant flowers or vegetables- even in a pot.

7. Read more books than you did in 2009.

8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

9. Sleep for 7 hours.

10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile & notice your surroundings, changes in nature every day, & listen to the birds.

Personality:

11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Each person has their place in the scheme of life.

12. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment - do what you can to make the world around you better.

13. Don't over do. Keep your limits. Physically, spiritually, financially or emotionally. Be humble.

14. Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.

15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.

16. Dream more while you are awake..

17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. Don't blame your parents for every problem you have. That will ruin your present. We choose actions & reactions when we become adults.

Happiness.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. It's easier to understand and move on.

20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. Yesterday is gone and you have a limited number of tomorrows.

21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. It's your choice to feel happy or miserable, anger or joy, frustration or acceptance, jealousy or peace, shame or pride.

22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

23. Smile and laugh more.

24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:

25. Call your family often.

26. Each day give something good to others.

27. Forgive everyone for everything.

28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6

29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

30. What other people think of you is none of your business.

31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Do the right thing!

33.... Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful..

34. God heals everything.

35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

37. The best is yet to come.

38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it.

39. Your inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

..my new year ressie...

so now comes the time when everyone comes up with those hopeful weight loss/quit smoking resolutions that usually starts of with determination, but unfortunately ends up in the back of your mind and/or closet...

most people crack at the sight of a banana split or a sip of vodka... (im one of em, the things you could get me to do for ice cream & liqour) so here's my stab at 2010... ive been pretty fut-less lately with my life's achievements so hopefully i'll keep the flame burning and not cope out when someone dangles a brownie in front of my face....

my new years resolution:

1. to continue to achieve the dreams that were instilled into me, while still being me.

(which hopefully includes an awesome job in nyc, that pays an amazing salary, that comes with an gorg loft in the city... red brick walls preferred... & my bf, urple, & mia in hand is the icing on the cake...

(one can only hope..)

2. to exercise more/eat less

(what human being does NOT say this during the new year? admit it.. we are all a inner fatty..)

(good for the body)

3. to wear my heels

(i have a semi problematic fetish of collecting shoes that I say... "im going to wear when I go out..." problem is: i never go out..... however, you gotta admit its a good work out for the hips, buns, & thighs... negs: blisters..)

(good for the money i already spent)

4. to travel more

(vegas is feb & nyc in march! woot woot)

(good for life)

5. save more $

(guess the shoes & travel hurts this one.. )

(only buy what i need & not what I want... this includes the grocery store!!)

(good for the wallet)

6. to read more

(have a little faith, lost symbol, the art of dancing in the rain... is the current list)

(good for the mind)

7. to take more classes

(there is always something to learn in this world.. why not learn something new or refreshing something old?..

(good for the soul.)

8. to blog more

(sometime i have nothing to talk about... and is partially lazy...)

(good for....?)

9. to not cut people off when they are talking..

(according to the bf.. i have a bad habit of cutting people off while they are talking... mainly due to mere excitement of the topic...)

(good for the manners i lack of)

10. to enjoy the life that has been given to me...

(good for... all of the above...)

happy 2010!!

in-spy-er-duh

i know this is hella main stream... but how can one not get all hyped up when seeing this??

i guess if you like big lights.... heck... I DO! big lights, big goals, big dreams... i like big things.... (keep your thoughts to yourselves..)

this song makes me want to plug my ears and rock out to this song while doing my interpretation of a model strut down 5th ave... as if it was my new life anthem... (eye of the tiger will need to step aside..)

new vow: i WILL live in NYC... maybe not this second... maybe not forever... but I will live there!!!

till then.. i'll keep on dreamin

..new project..

Even though my friend kristin has the fun costume this year of being Max from where the wild things are....im secretly jealous and wish i could of stole her idea.. (i mean who wouldn't want to run around like a 7yr old in a furry jumpsuit with a crown?? add some booze and your set!) but i have to focus on promoting a new project im working on.. So me and my lil sidekick mia will be strolling the mall as geishas while passing out business cards... (hopefully i'll be able to walk properly in my geta)

why you ask?

me and my ninja roommate urple created a lil asian doggie line...

inu inu

(yes i know dressing your dogs like humans is a bit ridiculous and borderline neurotic.. but the truth is... people spend the money for this! i.e. my mother)

I got inspired when I took a post graduation trip to China & Japan.. where i loved/blown away by all the cute fabrics prints that japan had to offer and the insane amounts of of people who clothed their dogs..this instantly reminded me of my wacky mother her dresses her two tibetian terriers daily to compensate her sadness that her two kids are no longer living at home. After pitching the idea to the mum and buying enough fabric to create a fire hazard in my living room there was no turning back..

here are some examples of what we are offering:

doggie kimono

bento squeak toys

after many many months of searching for reliable pattern makers & manufacturers, and while loosing my mind a few times... we are almost complete and ready to go..

check out our website to see where inu inu will be available at!!

..i know its sad..

i know its sad... and i completely hate the fact that i get all giddy like every 15 yr. old who kisses their team edward poster every night before they float up to cloud 9... but i can't help it... this series does something to me.... blahhh

trailer that still gives me chills every time i see it... im pretty pathetic...

still contemplating going on opening night.. but terrified to show my face in line with some teeny boppers... hmm might have to just use some self discipline and lots

and lots of patience.

seriously hate this..
