life lately.

Life has been busy lately, and I haven't had time to just sit down and have some blogging time to myself. It's currently 6:30 am as I am writing and making this blog post while all three kids are asleep. I haven't been able to make many blog post, but I have a diy project one on the way (it might take a little while). 

For now I'll leave you guys with a couple pf pictures of the reasons I've been so busy, but at the same time enjoying my  time with them. They are a joy to me, and I love them so much and I hope you'll be fond of them too.

My precious Minki

My little fluff ball Nina and charming Claudette (she came with the kids and she's a sweetheart)

I know life is busy, but it's the little moments that make everyday things worth it and I wouldn't change my right now for anything.

How are you guys? Tell me what's new?

Con amor,

finals.

Look at the time go! Last final was today and dorm check out.  Of course I had to use my pencil watch, since it seemed appropriate and it's really cute (I've been waiting for an occasion to use it ha).

Anyways this has been the slowest yet fastest semester for me. Some days I thought time could not go any slower and the at times I don't know where the time went.

Anyways yay to the start of my summer!!! I'm thinking of taking some art classes and maybe some photography classes. We'll see how that goes >< 

I'm hoping to get a lot of material for the blog. I'm also planning on doing some internal tourism back home and maybe that will turn into a blog series. Not sure how to name it though... Maybe something like 'Puerto Rico through the eyes of a native', or 'An insider view of the island of Puerto Rico'.... I don't know, I'm horrible at naming things....

I guess today's question is: What would you name the blog series?

ice days and gifts

There is still some ice around and classes where cancelled for today, so I've stayed in watched a little tv and decided to start buying birthday gifts for two of my friends.  They both have birthdays in the same month, actually their birthdays are two days apart! Which is a little hard on my budget (read broke college student), but I'm done and with a minimal blow to my budget too!

I'm actually pretty happy with what I got them, so let me show you some of the stuff!

For the first friend it was a little tricky to pick out gifts, she is the oldest of our group and by far the most mature. She is really motherly, which makes her the mother of our small group. We lovingly call her umma, anyways she is intelligent, sporty, organized, loveable, and we both share a love of animals. We literally spend ours talking about dog, cats, and any type of animal we've been interested lately. So for her gift I decided to buy her a sporty backpack and since she has a love for organizing materials I got her a little desk organizer. I got both of them a cute backpack shaped coin wallet in their favorite colors (I couldn't resist it was too cute).

For the second friend the most difficult part of getting her a gift is that she is so easily pleased with anything. I really wanted to get something that she would really like, so I sat and thought about what I've seen she likes/uses the most. Whenever I see her she always likes using tote bags (mainly the some one), so I decided to get her a new one, I also got her a pencil case since she always has her head in the clouds (maybe she won't lose pens and pencils as easily with it). And lastly the same cute coin purse, but in green.

It's not much, but I thought them through with care and love, hopefully they'll like them ^^

So, how have all of you guys been? How has your week been? Tell me about it

*On a side note: My birthday is next week! I'm not big on birthdays, but I'm a little excited this year~

long time no blog.

Hey guys! it's been a while, hasn't it? Well it's been a busy week/weekend for me from my cellphone dying to a friend visiting and staying over for the weekend.

Remember how my phone battery died about a week or so ago? I had ordered a new one and it came in the mail this week. I was so excited to finally be able to use my phone again, so I was really disappointed when I put it in my phone and it did nothing. The actual problem wasn't the battery at all. My phone had completely died (they call it sudden death syndrome, I believe), so I had to send it back to my parents in order to either exchange it or get a new phone. If I do get a new phone, which do you guys recommend? I prefer phones with good camera quality (as I'm an instagram and vsco cam addict).

On the bright side my friend came to visit this weekend! She graduated, but she lives about an hour and a half away from campus. We went bowling, shopping, and out to eat. We also spent a lot of time watching movies, and watching old tv shows reminiscing of our childhoods. It was really nice to see her, because even though we all talk through kakaotalk everyday we still miss each other. It was also fun just sitting in the living room, talking about pets and how we both have a desire to adopt a pet at some point (her when she gets her own apartment, and me when I graduate undergrad).

Since I don't have my phone here are some pictures and links to things I've found interesting throughout the week.

a little snow.

It snowed yesterday! It hadn't snowed here since about 2011 so everyone was pretty excited. Although it didn't snow much at least we got to play a little bit.

I'm hoping it doesn't melt away quickly, although that seems unlikely.

I haven't posted in a while because my phone's battery died so now I have to get a new one and I had a test yesterday (have two tomorrow, wish me luck!)

Enjoy your day!

guide dog puppies!!~

 

Hey hey, long time no see! Just kidding it's only been a couple of days...

I've been catching up on homework, so i took a little break.

Anyways I saw the two cuties in the top picture while waiting for the bus, they were so adorable. The smallest one sits behind me in class and is always sniffing my leg. Guide dog puppies on campus are the cutest things ever

  

I took this picture on Sunday morning, my mom bought us these orchids about a year ago and look they are dying on us

We've tried everything, but I feel like the temperatures inside the dorm are killing them slowly

our poor babies we should have taken better care of you, I'm so sorry...

On another note have a great week filled with wonder~~~~

Con amor,
