Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

Hello!

We are officially saying goodbye to 2011 this weekend.

This is pretty much the summary of my year. And basically everyone else's too, I think.

Definitely did some stupid things here and there, slept whenever I can, had good memories with loved ones, wasted time on the internet (darn facebook, weheartit, fml, etc... lol!), and faced some stressful things (darn school and high school drama). ;]

I'm sad to see 2011 go, but I also look forward to the new year.

I probably won't have much time to go on here because family's coming over and it's gonna be a super busy weekend for moi. Super excited to see the cousins again!

Happy New Year!

Have a fun time welcoming 2012!

The United States of Romantic Comedies

Hello!

I was just browsing through the internet and I came across this photo.

It's the United States of Romantic Comedies!

Isn't it super cool?

I see The Proposal, The Wedding Planner, Pretty Woman, What Happens in Vegas and many more.

Can you identify all 73?

Merry Christmas! =)

Hello!

Merry Christmas!!!

We are about to leave, we're going to my Aunt's house for Christmas Eve, but I can't go without leaving holiday wishes here for you.

I pray that everyone is having a fun weekend and a happy Christmas!

Movie and Sleepover time!

Hi!

I just wanted to make a short post... just wanted to share that I am now at my bff's house for our sleepover and movie marathon.

I hope you are having fun today!

Have a happy weekend!

Christmas Movies!

My bff and I are having a sleepover tomorrow night, and we are going to have a Christmas movie marathon!

Some movies on our list are

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

A Christmas Story

Home Alone and Home Alone 2

A Christmas Carol

Five movies. I hope we finish all of these, we've got our work cut out for us.

What are your favorite Christmas movies, my friends?

Favorite TV Show: The Lying Game

Hello!

I've been bored for the past couple of hours (I'm so not complaining though, I am happy I don't have homework and stuff, lol), so I decided to watch The Lying Game episodes. 

I really love this show and I am super excited that it's coming back in January!

I think Alexandra Chando does a great job playing both Sutton and Emma, you can really tell the difference between the two.

Allie Gonino as Laurel Mercer

I didn't like her character at first, but I love her now.

I love her relationship with Emma (who's pretending to be Sutton).

I also like how Emma is really hitting it off with Sutton's best friends, Mads and Char.

I feel sad about what happened to Emma's life that's why I am super happy that she was able to experience having friends and a family.

I like Sutton's fierceness, but she can be such an awful person!

Another thing I love is Emma and Ethan!

They are super cute!

I really hope they stay together no matter what happens.

I gotta admit that Blair Redford doesn't look like he's in high school, but it's okay, I love Emma and Ethan!

Do you watch The Lying Game? Are you a fan too?

What Makes You Beautiful!

Hi Hi!

My best friend sent me a link to this music video: What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction.

One Direction is a British-Irish boy band. They competed on The X Factor.

I think it's pretty catchy. Thanks to my bff for showing me this!

It's kinda cool that boy bands are still alive in the UK. Not gonna lie, I kinda miss American boy bands, lol.

What did you think of the song? Which boy band was your favorite?

I hope you all are having a happy weekend!!!

A very fun Saturday!

I had a really fun Saturday with my Mom.

As I told you guys on my last post, I went to go get a Christmas tree with my Mom today!

We spent a long time picking out a tree because we wanted it to be perfect.

We finally settled on a beautiful 7-foot high tree.

I love looking at photos of beautifully decorated and lit Christmas trees.

Here are some examples from Google:

So yup, we've finally got all our Christmas decorations out today. 

Everything is lit and decorated, I can totally feel Christmas in our house, love it!

Oh, and I didn't know that my Mom still had the Christmas ornaments I made as a girl scout, hahahaha! 

I couldn't get over it. We put them on our tree, very cool.

After getting our tree, we stopped by In n Out (my favorite!).

A Double-Double burger sure gave me energy today, lol. ;P

I love spending some quality time with my Mom! 

What about you? How was your day?

--Olivia :)

Is it really Christmas break?!

Hello!

I am very happy to share with you all that I am finally on Christmas break!

Friday was my last day at school and finals went pretty well. And thanks to Mimi, Bree, and Just Tututiny for taking the time to comment and for wishing me luck for finals! :)

I am so happy that I seem to be getting more and more readers and friends here on my blog. :D

Anywhoo, I was really planning on making a post earlier, but I fell asleep right when I came home.

After finals, my best friend and I went to our other friend's house for a little Christmas party. It was so fun!

I made cookies for my friends -- I kinda like giving food as gifts, everyone seems to love them. :)

Tomorrow (or really later on since it's technically Saturday...), I will be picking out a tree with my Mom. Super excited for that!

I'll probably be spending the day tomorrow helping my Mom decorate our tree. 

And I will definitely blog more!

Wishing you all a great weekend!

--Olivia :)

Finals start tomorrow!

So yup, finals start tomorrow! :O

I found this photo from Google and it pretty much explains my sentiments right now:

Haha, but c'mon, who likes finals, right?!

Anyway, I want to stop complaining because after all, this blog isn't supposed to be about that.

Just wanted to let you guys know that after this week, I'm gonna be able to blog more, yay!

I've also gotten some comments, so yay for that! Thank you so much to those who visit and comment!

Have a great week!

***UPDATE: I just found out that I got a blog award today! It's my first award and it totally made my day! Thank you so much, Bree!!! :D

Taking the ACT tomorrow!

Hello!

I just wanted to make a post before I sleep. 

I gotta wake up early tomorrow because I will be taking the ACT.

I haaaaate taking standardized tests, but I've got no choice...

I found this funny thing on weheartit.com:

Haha, that is very true!

I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! Please wish me luck! ;)

--Olivia :)

Very busy!

Hello!

Just thought I'd take a couple minutes to write something on here. I guess it's pretty good that my blog isn't really out there yet (and I don't have any followers yet, haha) because I haven't really had time to update my blog.

Christmas break is almost here and that means tons of homework and stuff from my teachers.

I just gotta get over this week and I am good.

I can't wait for the fun part of senior year to get here!

Anyways, I saw Breaking Dawn and it is awesome! I'm thinking I'll write a proper review next week or something. :)

I also made a Twitter account, so excited to try that! My friends are all so addicted and obsessed with it, it's like crazy!
