Yesterday I went to the mall to purchase a dress and a pair of heels for my friend's upcoming wedding on the fifteenth of this month.

I successfully found a black dress and a pair of black heels!





Where: Forever21 | Cost: $17.80

Forever21.com was my first and only stop. I tried on a couple of dresses without looking at the prices, thinking they were around $25.00 or so, and was very shocked (and pleased) when I realized how much the dress I decided to purchase cost. What a bargain! There were no pictures on the main website, so I had to take these myself. It has a very nice flow, and is a couple of inches or so, above my knees. I love the detail on the area of the bust (hopefully you can see it)! It's also nice because it can be used as a simple or formal dress.



Where: Payless | Cost: $19.99

It took me longer to decide on heels (very sensitive feet), but my mind was quickly made up when I found a pair that gave me the least discomfort. The style is so sexy and makes the dress look even better. Yes, I do own a couple pairs of black heels, but they are very high and are often very uncomfortable to walk in after a while. After I bought them, I realized they had a silver pair of the same kind, but after trying the entire outfit on, along with some silver jewelry, I was very pleased with the overall look (although I do love the shine on the silver pair).

I'm all set!

Snagged this one from miss_kallahan ;)

Anyone can snag it and replace a question that they don't like with their own.

Alright people, here are my thoughts on the last two episodes of LOST. Please remember, my thoughts aren't always in the form of a professional review ;)

That's right, it's a new month and Golden Spoon, my favorite yogurt place, has their new flavors up. I don't know why I've been feeling the need to post about this the past few months. I just love it too much.

How fascinating.

I have to say, I go around collecting way too many icons from livejournal. Does anyone else have this fascination with them?

In other news...

On Saturday we had our tub reglazed (because of a crack on the surface area). Whatever type of substance they use to do this creates a very strong smell and the tub also can't be used for about 72 hours. A little gross, right?

We showered that morning and they came to reglaze when we left for Jason's nephew's Birthday celebration (no one can be inside when they're working on it). Because of the fumes, it is not healthy to be inside for about 5 hours, and even still it's very strong and they recommend opening windows and using fans to get the smell out. We got home before 10pm, and it smelled awful. Somewhat like banana taffy (at least to me...lol). We made sure to keep our bedroom door closed when we left, but it was one of the rooms that smelled the worst, and there was no way we were going to sleep in there. Unforunately, there are various different symptoms one can get from inhaling the fumes, and about 5-10 minutes after, I began feeling pressure between my eyes (somewhat like a headache). So, we decided that I'd stay the night at my parent's place, and Jason would sleep in the living room with all the windows open throughout the night to help get our place back to normal Sadly, he got less than 4 hrs of sleep because of nausea and slight burning in the eyes. How horrible!!

Sunday, we were gone all day (church, meetings, parents place for a few hours, and a concert with the youth). We planned the reglazing for this weekend because we knew we'd be gone most of the time. When we returned from the concert on Sunday night the smell wasn't too bad, and we were able to sleep just fine.

Now, I can't smell it much but the windows are open and fans are still running.

It was a very eventful weekened for us!

Earlier today two of my very good friends and I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic.




There was a lot of laughter between the three of us throughout the movie. Needless to say, it is worth watching! I really had the urge to go to the mall afterwards. Don't worry, I can't afford to splurge (lol), although I do need to get a dress for my friend's wedding that's coming up in just a little over two weeks! *Ahem* Anyways...I enjoyed the movie, and it had a good story!

Jason and I just finished watching the latest episode of LOST. I don't think I even looked at the title of this one! But...WOW! I will be posting my thoughts soon.

I've got a busy weekend ahead of myself...

-Grocery Store
-Calls to make
-Birthday Party
-Maintenance coming to fix crack in tub (which is actually a much bigger project than you'd think, but I don't feel like getting into that)
-Meeting
-Concert with youth

...and all those other little things in between. Oh, I also have to mention that if this month had 30 days, it'd be our six month anniversary. So, we'll just say it's the 28th I suppose. I can't believe that much time has passed since our wedding day!

Remember to count your blessings. =)

I don't know how many of you watched the Oscars last night, but I'll post some of my thoughts just the same.

First of all, let me say that Jason and I haven't felt the same about the Oscars the past few years (maybe even longer for Jason). By that I mean, they are not what they used to be. In one way, they don't really seem to mean much anymore and I think part of the reason is because the nominees are sometimes very unexpected. It's like, they just pick and choose, and there's not a lot of thought and careful (or even realistic) decision put into it. Also, things of the world have continued to make it's way to the Oscars, which is disappointing to see (why can't they keep things to themselves, especially at an event like this?), and it makes me wonder how it will be years from now. However, I won't be getting into that today.

With that said, we decided to let it get a jump-start in recording and began watching it at 7pm. That way, we could skip through any speeches we didn't care to see and of course, all the commercials.

Hugh Jackman was a perfect host, probably one of the best I have seen on the Oscars. Good choice! I also loved the entertainment aspect of the show, it was very different and lively and it really captured my attention. All the props were really interesting and made the award-giving more exciting. It was definitely more artsy this year. The way they presented the awards for the Actors and Actresses by choosing five people who were previous winners was really different, and I think it made it a lot more meaningful.

I'm so happy that Wall-E won for Best Animated Film, and of course, for Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor. I think it was a very good thing they did in letting his family members accept his award.

Kate Winslet was adorable giving her speech, but she did go way too long.

What was with that one guy who took his Oscar and balanced it on his chin? I can't remember who he was, or what he won for. I don't care if you're pro at tricks and crap, that just seemed wrong. Anyone can make a mistake, and that would've been awful.

I can't seem to take this Slumdog Millionaire stuff seriously, but whatever.

Ben Stiller making fun of Joaquin Phoenix from his appearance on Letterman was not cool.

Benjamin Button for Visual Effects? I think not. Make-Up, of course, but The Dark Knight or Iron Man should've taken it. I haven't seen Benjamin Button but that just doesn't make sense.

The fashion this year was some of the worst I've seen. I think the dresses of every single previous winner of the award for Best Supporting Actress were completely awful (if I remember correctly). Overall, there were some fine choices, but most of them were hideous!

That's all, folks!

Can we say another INCREDIBLE episode of LOST on Wednesday?
