How much does one need to spend a month in Europe?

Spain, France and Italy.
Perhaps some in between country squeezes.
Don't need to purchase fancy bags.

*sigh*

I'm guessing ~$5000 (including plane tickets?)

Midterm week

Studying can be quite lonesome, especially when it's past one in the morning.  And in the mist of loneliness, the only friend that is beside you is the warm and comforting instant food.  You can hear the food whisper, "I am here to help.  Do not worry, my friend."

you eat ramen with joy and your stomach smiles :)

Then you finish up your studies and go to sleep peacefully!
















PENDING....

PLEASE WAIT 5 HOURS....



















PENDING....
























BAM.
Oh how the tribulations await for me...

What's in a name?

Sandra - short form of the Greek name "Alexandra"  ; meaning: defender of mankind

My mom told me I was named after Sandra Day O'Connor.  On July 7, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman appointed on the Supreme Court.  Exactly seven years later, I was born on July 7, 1988.  (And exactly four years later, July 7, 1992, my sister was born!!!)  AND...yes, it is not over yet, my father was baptized on July 7, 1985!  I guess my name and July 7 is very meaningful :)

Honestly, I wasn't too fond of my name because it sounded so outdated and boring.  But after researching about Sandra Day O'Connor, my name is pretty darn cool.

Weddings

I thought Kim Kardashian's wedding was waaaaaaaay over the top.  Her wedding dress wasn't even unique (although I do respect Vera Wang and her designs). I don't get it!

But I really loved Mate Moss' wedding.  So down to earth, small, simple and lovely :)

Kate and her daughter

St. Peter's Church




not too fond of the beau's outfit!


made by the one and only galliano.  i feel bad..he is a design genius, but what he said was very wrong.
especially for a man in that high respected position.
 i also disagree that marc jacobs should be the new creative director for dior, even though i love marc jacobs

When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at 4 am and work five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for 10 km or swim 1500 m, or do b...
