Winter Break Flyin' Byeeee! 12/27/2008
Soon I'll be saying Bye to this long awaited winter break... (T_T) I don't want it to end!!!!! Argggggg. When break ends, it means school, work, being unhealthy, being tired, being stressed out, the list goes on... I can't believe xmas passed by SO quickly! I feel grateful to have break though. It really sucks cause I haven't had quality time with my bf. I went to his two family dinners but we were always around a lot of people. Le sigh.... I don't know.... I've been so sad lately.... Crying to sleep and waking up crying.... le sigh again.... I hate being fat and I just am unhappy with the bf First off, Merry Xmas Everyone!!!!! Sale: 75% off EVERYTHING Kira Plastinina 12/20/2008

I've been eating horribly. It's pretty sick...... Four Seasons Ritz-Carlton 12/17/2008
 I spent last weekend with my friend Hannah that works at the Four Seasons Ritz-Carlton in downtown Chicago. She was allowed to stay for a weekend with one friend for free! We got to order dinner and breakfast for free as well! It was sooooooo awesome! I felt like a princess. :D The food was absolutely amazing and the service was superb. The hotel itself was gorgeous. So the first night, I cabbed it straight to the hotel after work. Then, Hannah gave me a tour of the hotel and we had dinner at The Cafe. Dinner consisted of.....  our starter bread, deeeelicious!  my tomato basil soup, very fresh  Hannah's lobster bisque, amazing! the aroma swirled around and lingered in my mouth. :)  my salmon, melted in my mouth  Hannah's steak cooked medium, a-ma-zing as well  my caramelized fig dessert w/ice cream, omg sooooo good!  Hannah's coconut island floating on blueberry sauce, heaven Breakfast was awesome as well. We ordered room service. The server wheeled in a cute little table for us. We ordered two sets of the Japanese style breakfast. Breakfast is served......  So our bill for the stay and food amounted to almost $1000. Dang! It was all less than 12 hours too.... hahaha. It must be so nice to be able to afford this kind of life style all the time. Also, when I was in the elevator going up to the Water Tower from the hotel, I was standing a few inches away from three basketball players. The one I recognized was Yi Jian Lian from the NJ Nets! I felt like I was two inches tall! lmao. Was too scared to ask for autograph though.... Recipe: Semi-Homemade Apple Galette 12/16/2008
 The first time I ate an galette of any kind was at the Grand Lux Cafe with my boyfriend. It was like heaven....so I wanted to learn how to make it. Luckily, when I was watching Rachel Ray one day, she made a pear version! I searched for the recipe online and modified it to make it a teeny bit healthier and I also changed it to an apple galette, because that is what I had at the Grand Lux Cafe. :) Anyways, this was UBER easy. Seriously. I never bake and I did it. Served with some vanilla ice cream on the side, MMMM! Ingredients Directions Secret Santa Baked Goods Party 12/16/2008
 Tonight, the interns living in the same apt as I had a Secret Santa/Baked Goods party together. I made apple galette for the first time! It was incredibly easy and deeeelish. Mwahaha. The person I had to get a present for was actually my roomie. I got her a LeSportsac messenger bag. Super cute! She loved it! I received a clutch and two pairs of earrings from my secret santa (Melissa). I can't say that they are my style.... kekeke. Anyway, everyone baked something yummy. Here are just a few items there.  roomie's chocolate chip meringue cookies :) YUM  Amy's biscottis..... LUVS them! (this was my fav)  Melissa made us cookies to decorate! So cute! My Hard Candy Haul 12/15/2008
 Hello Hello, I got my Hard Candy Haul a while ago and thought I'd share with you all ( or myself) what I got. I gave my Take Out box to my sis and one gloss. The eyeshadow I got was in Peppermint and I love it as a highlighter. It's soft enough to have good pigment, but not overly soft where it gets messy and powdery. I haven't tried the lip glosses yet, because I'm still deciding if I want to give them away for Xmas presents. Isn't the packaging super cute? I Finally GOt Mah Hurrcut! :) 12/12/2008
