My face has been dry for the past week. I’ve also been having rashes because hair strands that get in my face irritate my skin.

Formspring Question #2
Where will you go on your next trip?
I’m going back to incredible Ilocandia in two weeks - this time, with my family. Historically, planning family vacations have been stressful, and organizing this one was no exception. I just hope that we’d be able to survive one another’s temperaments for four days.
Ask me anything

My first formspring question
What are some things that you’ve learned about yourself during the last five or so years? Yeah, we like ~life~ questions on Tumblr. And on a more shallow note, what’s one item of clothing that you’ve always wanted to wear but for some reason can’t?
It took me awhile to answer this (try two weeks) because I had to really think this through. *Serious mode on* In the last...

5 Reasons Why I Love Zebras
You can never go wrong with a black and white striped anything. Much less an animal with that kind of pattern.
You see a lot of stuffed dogs and bears, but not enough stuffed zebras.
The ongoing debate of whether or not a zebra is black with white stripes or white with black stripes will never be won. Not unless a zebra suddenly started talking and declared itself to be either one.

Sunday morning epiphany

2010 Travel Plans
I am tempted to list down the places I plan to visit this Summer. However, being the paranoid/worrywart lady that I am, I just won’t do that yet until I have booked my plane tickets.
Instead, let’s just list down the places I would want to conquer in Summer 2010, if money and time were no object:
India - to get a whiff of its distinct “aroma”
Italy - to taste authentic...
