Looking For Alaska

So I've finally finished reading the book Looking For Alaska by John Green (actually it was 3 weeks ago but I was too lazy to blog about it). I decided that instead of me writing a 500-word essay about how wonderful and thought-provoking this book is and how I highly recommend it to all who love a good read, I'd just post one of my favorite lines from the book.

  “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”

  

 

 “Francois Rabelais. He was a poet. And his last words were "I go to seek a Great Perhaps." That's why I'm going. So I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps.”

The Dreamers

I like people who can teach me something about ”the world”. People who tell me stories about their childhood. People who talk about their favourite films and books and fictional characters. Dreamers and friendly people. People in touch with their inner child. Idealists. People who don’t complain too much. People who don't take themselves too serious. These are the people I like.

Cut Off Crop Top

I know what you're thinking, "Not another midrib baring outfit!!"

 But ayayay chicas, I just had to.

When the heat comes on, the clothes come off... or cut off in this case.

Saw this outfit and I knew I just had to jump in on the crop top bandwagon.

You can cut off a singlet and pair it with a high waist skirt! Perfect for ze summer.

 Felt a little artsy fartsy so I decided to dab on some beautiful technicolored English roses.

A pretty pop of color in the pictures. Makes me feel all girly and summer-y and spring-y.

And because dammit when this girl wants flowers, she gets her darn flowers!

Even if it's just the digital e-flower kind you can easily find on google.. haha!

 In other news, I finally learned how to download e-books on the internet... 

What?! Stop judging me!!

I'm not good with this downloading business, okay? It's a miracle I even run a blog.

Now on to the news.... So I went a little crazy downloading every book I've ever wanted to read

but didn't have the pesos to spend or couldn't find it in the local bookstores. 

So I decided to list 'em all and let you guys in on my summer reads.

House of Dreams

I've seen a lot of swanky houses during my lifetime (and that's mostly because I watch too many MTV Cribs episodes). But I'm always left in awe at the number of bedrooms and bathrooms people can fit in their homes,. Don't even get me started on the basketball courts or mini movie theaters or recording studios some celebrities got goin' on in their cribs. But hey, if you got ridiculous amounts of cash flowing in every second, might as well spend it and spend it BIG! I'd tap that.

So since I do plan on getting ridiculously wealthy and buying my own house someday, I think it'd be really mature of me (not really) to start envisioning and planning what my future house would look like.

THE DREAM HOUSE

• Funny face. Audrey Hepburn's face on my wall.This woman is my sister from another mister. A doe-eyed goddess. A beacon of light. My mother from another father (I dunno what this means. LOL!). Simply put, I think Audrey is just wonderful (and if you beg to differ, I.WILL.CUT.YOU.. hehe).

• A birdcage inside a fish cage. Say whut? Whoever thought of this bizarre concept is a genius! A birdcage in the center of an aquarium. I must, I must, I must have it for myself!

• A shoe haven. A closet especially made just for shoes is a must for every girl.

• Booked staircase. I love reading! Therefore, I'm on my way to having a serious collection of books and will need some space to put them in. You think I'd settle for some humdrum library but NUH-UH! This right here takes the cake. A staircase filled with books! You think you're just climbing down normal boring old stairs and BAM! The sight of my book collection hits yah. That's serious mind-fuck right there...

• Living dead. I want my living room to have high ceilings and have a big ass mural of a corpse that looks like Abraham Lincoln if he was more street and urban. This would be the chillest kick-it spot ever!!!

• Secret garden. I love frolicking around gardens and backyards that seem to lead you to creepy forests. A house wouldn't be complete if it didn't have some sort of plant growth around it. That is why I need a garden. Particularly one that makes me want to pretend I'm a forest nymph who eats flowers and beetles for lunch and runs around naked.

•  Pink surprise. Wouldn't it be lovely if I had a huge pink front door to welcome my guests? It may be a bit gay and some would say it subconsciously resembles a vajayjay, but trust me, once you get inside this pink door you'll want to stay inside forever. Okay, that sounded dirty. haha!

 

• Man, oh man. And lastly but definitely not the least, a fine looking fella who lives in this house with me. Clue: We're roomies (*awinky-dink-dink)

 But seriously, if I had a sweet ass man with me, I'd ditch this whole home-furnishing plan and just live on an island somewhere and have him all to myself. *naughty grin*

 Don't you think my future house is THE BOMB?
