GGG On Holidays No. 3: Happy Halloween

Halloween 2006: Jyes and I

What are you guys dressing up as? The last time I dressed up for Halloween was 4yrs ago in Grade 11, I was some kind of Joker (aka a bunch of old dance costumes that kind of went together and made something, haha). Anyways, since then for some reason I've lost all love for the Holiday and now it just frustrates me. Oh, don't worry, it'll reignite probably when I have my own little kiddies that I can dress up and gross out with pumpkin guts. Cute Halloween > Slutty Halloween. Have fun and be safe tonight everyone.

Bedhead

It's totally that time of the year again: the awkward middle-length bang stage.
Debating whether or not I should get my choppy, layered Little J hair back... thoughts?

GGG Birthday Guest No. 11: Kaleanna, 2

Today is my our beautiful goddaughter Kale's 2nd birthday!


The "Terrible Twos" they call it, eh? Hahaha girl bring it, your mama can handle anything.


We ♥ you so much! Love, your Ninang Mandy & Ninong Raymond

I Love LittleBIGPlanet

Raymond just bought it and it is the funnest and most adorable game ever. Lost track of how many times I said something along the lines of "Aw, look how cute he is right now" (their facial expressions, as shown after the jump, are sooo funny)... you know, things I wouldn't say about Master Chief or a gang of hordes, haha. To be honest I think we spent more time customizing our characters than actually playing. Considering we both dislike Halloween it's a nice substitute to live vicariously thru those little guys.

GGG Birthday Guest No. 10: Daddy, 5X

It was my Dad's birthday a couple of days ago on October 21st, he turned 50 "something". The day before it he kept asking me questions about when I would be done school and how many more years I had left, etc... and it didn't occur to me right then why he wanted to know all those things so bad. He wants to retire soon. He works so hard every day for our family and I just can't wait to be done and make him proud... sorry, it's 1AM and I'm tired so thinking about all this was making me so damn emotional! Then I came across these high-speed action shots (haha) tonight and they made me laugh so hard and I can't help but smile now. He's sooo cute, hey? Love you Papabear! Where do you want the kids to take you to dinner on Sunday? :) I'll take suggestions if you guys have any!

PS: Mom comes home from Vegas this weekend... I feel like she's been gone forever.

The Delay

Oh my goodness. Sorry about the delay guys... when it comes to my Blog I have serious OCD/ADD and can't ever settle with publishing it on the web until it looks exactly how I want it to look. It was so bad to the point where I was editing HTML on miPhone. It's a curse, really... kind of how we get ready in the mornings, put on an outfit and hate it only to do the vicious cycle over and over again until you're late for work and you still look bad. Well, over the course of my makeover and ridiculous outfit changes, the unspeakable happened... the entire Blog deleted itself. Which is why you may have gotten a spam of old/new GGGB posts on your Dashboards because I had to re-import them, blah, blah... not to mention that all the while I think I lost all of my followers. :(

Anyways, I'm now in love with my new look so first things first! A couple new housekeeping things worth mentioning: I've always wanted to write my posts in Courier New... it's kinda short and quirky and geeky like Wolowitz. Plus the other day, I learned in my COMS class - this course is SO useful, I swear - the difference between Serif and Sans Serif fonts and surprisingly applied it on here. I would go into it but that would bore the hell out of you (or have I already? ha). Selected lengthier posts still have a SEE MORE PHOTOS » link to take you to the full thing. The FEATURED POST // section above is automated to display my most recent "Good Girl Gone ____________ #_" exclusive ones. Took out the sidebar, moved that shit to the bottom. Tiny little arrows beside your scroll bar have the power to take you ALL the way to the top or ALL the way to the bottom at the click of your mouse (I did this mainly for my sake in editing but I guess it's helpful for you readers too). Oh and I made a logo, changed my one-liner (because I'm turning 20 soon, and my old one wouldn't have sounded the same: "a 20yr old good girl..." 20?! RIGHT?), and added a FAQ section that is currently Under Construction because nobody has ever asked me... any questions, frequently? So ask away! Shoot me an e-mail or send me a comment. SOMETHING! JUST TO KNOW YOU GUYS ARE STILL ALIVE!!!

That is all. Enjoy,

Itchy Bitchy Pretty Thing

I did a bullet list last week as an Update and I think I mentioned my other new love for huge, wooly sweaters. To me it's a decent trade-off. I am sooo annoying when I'm cold, and a little less when I'm itchy so deal. Here is one of my favesies right now that I'm referring to... not the best shots of the Wild thing but they'll do. Just use your imagination, Max.

Either Or or Neither

What good is all the cash, if it doesn't buy us time?
What good is being famous, if I'm never on your mind?

All day, Everyday

As tweeted, I could alternatively wear each of these t-shirts for days straight if I had to. I think I'm going on Day 4 already in my white one? Plus my mom is in Las Vegas so she hasn't done my laundry lately? Who am I kidding... that's not my excuse. I learnt how to do my laundry just this year ;). The truth of the matter is that I wear them because they are probably the best investment pieces I've ever bought, kids. I've got nothing but sheer love for these two in particular, even though I've been getting really cold (and perhaps a little dirty) lately.

GGG Down Memory Lane No. 17: Polaroids

Yes! Yes! Yes! It was announced in a press conference in Hong Kong a couple of days ago that Polaroid will re-launch the legendary Polaroid One Step Camera. To think that they even muttered the thought of stopping production entirely of instant photography... I remember having my very own when I was 11. I took it to Florida and loved being able to capture those magical moments and have em' pop out in physical form a couple of shakes later. Now I'm lucky if I even go once a year to go and get my digital photos printed.

So, in light of this joyous occasion, here are some Polaroids of my mother and my older sister during another "joyous" occasion we all know and love: Christmas Photos with the big guy. For sure that is the scariest Santa ever... no wonder she was crying...

Cold Night?

...grip yourself a Hot chocolate!

It is so cold in my house that Raymond and I had to bust out the portable heater yesterday evening. And the La Senza booties. Can't wait for tomorrow to just be over (the 8AM wake-up call and class until 5PM part) so that it can finally be "TV Show Thursdays". Yessir, it's exactly how it sounds. He downloads all of the latest episodes of our shows and we watch 'em all right after one another to the point where we've been in bed for hours. "Swim in a deep sea of blankets, blah, blah be a while... whatever that song you always quote is." Um, I've made it out to sound like a tradition but really its not... tomorrow is the first TV Show Thursday. I'm excited.

• Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers!
• My long weekend? I always have Mondays off anyways, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me.
• Although: "This is just a drill for Boxing Day" - CM. Awww man, already? Yessir, Retail never gets a break.
  
• So happy to have you back in the store after your week for recovery off... the girls healed so quickly! *squish squish*
• Zombieland double date

• Lately I have been living in huge, oversized sweaters. The itchy kind. I don't mind.
  
• Also have just realized that my love for basic sheer t-shirts don't do so well in this chilly Calgary weather. Look for a post about my favesies soon!
• Started up a cute little savings thing with the bank today. Every time I swipe my debit card, $1 gets transferred to my Savings account. Good idea or bad idea?
• So many October/November birthdays coming up. Mine included :)
• Learned in COMS class today that Smiley's are making their way into Corporate communication. Haha :P
• The cousins move out this weekend after over a year of living with us. The house is going to be so quiet without them.
• I dislike Halloween... Haven't dressed up for it in about 3 years? Since High School dude.
• Lastly, I still get really shy when my friends and family find out about my blog. Hahaha

So harmless and pretty. But like how almost everything else in the world is "bad" in excess, soon too will that apply to snow.
