I just came back from the movies with my sister.  We had a date night =)  First we went to souplantation and then we went to watch Julie and Julia.  Wow..I loved the movie.  It was funny and exciting and just wonderful.  It made me want to cook and bake even more.  The main girl Julie decides to cook through 524 recipes in 365 days and blog about it.  It looked really fun!  But unfortunately I do not have the money to buy ingredients to cook elaborate food nor do I have the supplies to do so. 

But at least I am going to get a hand mixer.  It really sucks to beat hard butter and sugar together. 

the movie was really inspirational and super funny!  GO WATCH IT!

As for my studying...OMG...killllll me now.  There are so many tv shows that I want to watch...why would I bother with watching lecture when I could be watching funny shows.  How I met your mother...LOVE IT!

I need some motivational magic.  I just want to be working and making money and doing things that I actually want to do...instead of just sitting at home, wasting my life away.  UGH...but I dont want to enter the real world.  I dont know what I want. 

Just gonna buy a hand mixer and one day... a stand mixer.  YELLOW stand mixer.  But I am not at that point yet.  Maybe more baking and more money.  I will get it when I feel like I deserve it =)

I went to a Korean body spa today..its called natura.  It was interesting!

it's completely nude..so you get there and the first thing you do is get naked.  then you can enjoy the different things that they have.

I showered..then went to the red jacuzzi.  Then the steam room, sauna, clay room, jade room, freezing water bath, then the regular jacuzzi.  Then it was time for the body scrub.

You enter..they tell you face down.  so you get on this table and prepare to feel like a piece of meat.  They scrub you down hard and all this yucky dead skin comes off and then they take a bucket of water and hose you down.  LOL!  They just toss a bucket of water on you.  Then you switch sides and then on your sides...they sorta massage you and then they wash your hair.  it was great.  i feel super clean and soft.

the whole day was really relaxing.  then i went to james' house for dinner and we watched 500 days of summer.  i liked it.

this past week i started to study for the cpa exam.  its really hard to focus and listen to lecture. =( i cant imagine how much harder it will be once work starts.  so i must work hard and study!!

wish me luck.

On Sunday I watched the VMAs for the first time in a long time.  I had forgotten the magic of music videos and how they can make you feel.  While the VMAs was ridiculous and outrageous, the music and music videos are not. It was great to see the performances and see the videos. 

Beyonce is hot.

So I'm finally back after a month of adventure in Taiwan. It's slow and not hectic anymore. I caught a cold before I left so I am just relaxing and recovering. The last 10 days of my adventure was very fast paced with lots of activities.

Sat: hung out at SOGO and other random stores
Sun and Monday was the same. Shi Meng Ding in the morning with Shilin Night Market at night. I also got a full body scrub and a facial. It felt really good!
Tuesday: Momo hot pot, was gonna head to the zoo but ended up running random errands
Wednesday: stone spa and hsinchu..we went to a really good hotpot place =)
Thursday: lavender cottage, kaoshiung, night market
Friday: headed back to taipei, rode the high speed rail, keelung night market
Sat: WuLi, cuticle eating fish foot spa, body spa, ate yummy dumplings and bao's
Sunday: Shi Meng Ding again with cousins, my sisters friend and her sister..haha..big family gathering, went to a california restaurant (weird that i travel across the country to eat californian food..lol), visited my godmother's family but she wasnt there..just her entire family
Monday: last minute shopping, ate hotpot again, went everywhere looking for the usbman I wanted to get James. I also got my face threaded. It hurt. I also think my face got an allergic reaction.
Tuesday: headed to taipei from taoyuan..long walks, missed stops, bad times...hung out with my lil aunt one last time then headed to the airport and flew back

I watched the proposal and imagine that on the plane. I tried to sleep most of the way because i felt like crap. I got back, James picked me up and he made me some soup. I ate..then proceeded to sleep for 13 hours and got up at 7am. I have been hanging out in his room since Ive been back. I just catch up on tv and sleep while he goes to class and studies. LOL...today I finally stepped outside. It's hot!

Back to the real world now =) no more messing around and it's time to buckle down and study for my cpa.

eh..ill start brand new next week!
