Fruit Wars!

I've done it!!!
I switched over from a Blackberry to an Apple iPhone. I had a great relationship with my BB and it occasionally had its issues but overall I was content and satisfied with it. However, my contract was up this month and it was time to think about an upgrade. Yes, I could have gone with a newer BB... let's say the torch. But in all honesty I've been eyeing the iPhone in the last couple months and I've also been hearing people talk about how awesome the apps are. What really grabbed my attention was the medical apps. Long story short I made up my mind and decided to test it out.I LOVE IT!!!!

Dear: iPhone. Where have you been all my life???

I've only been playing around with it this evening trying to get familiar with it and Im already loving it. I dont even feel sad about switching over from my BB. Usually I reminisce about features on my old phone when I get a new one.... Nuh uh! Not this time I can't wait to fully discover all the awesome stuff my iPhone4 can do :)

"Life was easier when Blackberry and Apple were just fruit" but I am loving my Apple.

Happy Birthday 29th Michelle!

The Girls out for Michelles 29th Birthday dinner.
After not seeing eachother since the last birthday bash in August ( there were other occasions in between but not all of us were there) we finally saw eachother and as always its as if time never went by... We can always pick up from the last time and it never feels like we were ever apart for how ever long it might have been. Thats the GREAT thing about having a FABULOUS group of friends, time never exists and the friendship only grows stronger.

It was an exciting night because not only were we there to celebrate a birthday with our girlfriend but we celebrated her engagement to Glen (another Fabulous addition to the group) which happend the weekend prior to Michelles birthday! So Exciting !!!

The food was delish! and the price for the amount of food was great... the service was lacking, however I have to say I think the fact that we went late may have played a part in that... I can understand that the employees were wanting to get out Asap... I'll have to try it again at an earlier time to make my final conclusion.... Overall always a great night with the ladies

Introducing Mia

The Bobbsey Twins -Baby (left) & Mia (Right)


For thanksgiving this year I got a new dog which I have named Mia. She a Bichon-Poo (my dream dog) and the sweetest ball of fur I have ever met.

My family decided that it was time for Baby our other dog ( 4 yr old, jack-a-poo) to have a playmate and sister if you will. Baby is one of those dogs that is more of a house dog and she was starting to believe that she was human. She needed another dog in her life to make her social with other dogs and to remind her that she IS also a dog.

The first week was rough on baby, she couldnt even be in the same room as Mia... Since I was the one who went to pick up Mia from the breeder she quickly adopted me as her mom. Baby ofcourse noticed and resented me for at least 2weeks because Mia required more of my attention. However, Baby has since warmed up to Mia, about the 3rd week in she was coming around a bit more... I think she finally realized that this new pup in town was here for good !

Now after 6 weeks they play, eat, walk and do everything together (like the bobbsey twins) its really cute to see them sharing treats, toys and doggie beds. They care and give each other eskimo kisses... I decided to enroll Mia into puppy school and when she comes home I like to practice her homework with her, Baby like to join in too.

Mia has really helped bring Baby back to behaving like a real dog... She is a blessing to our lives and shes My little girl.



Welcome Home Mia !

The BIG one

So I officially graduated from college in June and I am now an alumni member who proudly holds her diploma. Although it may seem that this is where it ends, it doesn't. I have been frantically stressed the last few weeks over the exam that matters the most. I have been studying and doubting that the amount of time I study is still not good enough.

So I am now two days away from writting an exam that is a full day 6hrs aprox. and 2 yrs worth of material. According to my exam prep book, which has been a most useful resource... I will do great, cus Ive been doing well on the quiz questions. However, even though I know the material, do great on the quizes and have been doing extra readings along with practice questions.... I some how find myself not feeling sufficiently prepared.

Hiatus

Hiatus

So I went on hiatus from blogging for the last few months but I’m back! Lots went on since the start of the year … The two best things that happened so far were

1) I Turned 29! I officially am the NEW 19 ha-ha

2) I finally graduated from NUSRING!!!! Woo hoo

I’m trying to organize myself again the busy months of school and pre-graduate work made my life a bit hectic and my room is a BIG mess, my files are a BIG mess, and I just need to get it all sorted again. I feel like I need to go on a well deserved vacation. I’m so glad to be back

Happy New Year!!! 2010

I rang in the New Year with my parents, brother and my boyfriend at home. It was quiet and relaxed; we had dinner and ate paella, chipotle shrimp, two kinds of salad and wine. We talked a lot over dinner, rang in the New Year and ended the night with a board game. Today I had lunch with some of my gf we were going to go to the movies but it was such lazy day and I still had tons of food at my house so I had them come over for lunch. We talked lots about babies in our families, maternal clocks, weddings and working out, vitamins, cooking and many other things.

2009 was a great year; I am pleased with everything that happened… I learned so much in school this past year and had so many experiences working at the hospital. I traveled with my bf to new places and saw many, many, many awesome concerts. Met new people, found a job, joined a gym and the absolute best thing that happened is that I fell in love with an amazing guy. I am really lucky to have great friends and this summer was the first time that all the girls were together again. I’m really excited and looking forward to see what the New Year will bring for me… and I’m anticipating graduation day.

Alexia turns 2!! ...Wow

Looking for a gift for a two year old proved to be more challenging than I had anticipated. I thought that getting a toy would be easy but the reality is that I didn’t know what she would like or what was suitable for a smart kid. B and I finally ended up getting her some books for reading and some for coloring and it was “a great success”. She loved them and I read them to her several times over. Although not all the family was there (my cousin missed out due to the flu) Alexia is very lucky to have family with her lots of great pressies and yummy home made cake. Happy Birthday Cutie!
