My road of happiness.

I have decided to start randomly making happy lists. I thinks these lists could brighten my day and maybe even yours :)!


Things that make me completely{and utterly}happy:
1.Freshly opening a new book.
2.Working hard and reaping the benefits.
3.The lights dimming in the theater right before the movie starts.
4.Great big hugs from my mom.
5.Successfully fun nights with friends.
6.Ikea.
7.A meal that tops all meals.
8.Empty and quiet libraries.
9.Listening to Frank Sinatra while driving with the windows down.
10.Being in awe after reading the Bible.

Friends.

I got to spend time with my lovely friends Antonio and Leana at Atlantic Station. It was so much fun walking around to the different stores. We browsed in one of my favorite stores Ikea and we ate at an Asian restaurant called the Tin Drum and it was quite delicious! We also got late night coffee at a cafe called Cafe Nineteen. It's a bit expensive, but the atmosphere is very nice; including a suave bar and thick leather chairs to sit in! Overall it was a lovely night, and spending time with friends always makes me happy! Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Happiness.

I could watch this forever.


Isn't this the best?

Juice.

I just love when my mom buys Ersu juice from the international market. It's imported from Turkey and is the nectar from the pomegranate fruit. Yum yum :).

This is a random list of 10 things:
1.I discovered my addiction to online scrabble.
2 I found the cutest shoes here.
3.I need more money to buy more cute clothes.
4.Georgia heat can be unbearable.
5. Tidiness is a virtue.
6. I want to start cooking because I love food so much.
7. I take too many naps in the summer, thus resulting in pure laziness.
8. I miss someone that used very dear to me.
9. There ARE good people out there.
10. My mommy loves me very much.

Movie mania.

I had such a lovely evening catching up with my friend Leana yesterday. It's always nice to reunite with old friends after a long time. We met for coffee and then went for manicures. After, we sent to the movies to see Inception. I have to say all the hype for the movie was 100% correct. It was one of the best movies I have seen in quite a while. Not to mention the movie had my celebrity crush Joseph Gordon Levitt being completely rough and tough. The acting was amazing, and overall the movie was extremely convincing. Also starring in the movie is Leonardo Decaprio, Ellen Page,and the lovely Marion Coutillard. A movies about dreams vs. reality, I suggest this blockbuster to everyone.
I also spent today watching the movie called Seven Year Itch starring Marilyn Monroe. This just so happens to be my first Marilyn Monroe movie, and I have to say that she is simply enchanting! I just might have become a fan.

Bored.

Today was immensely boring! However I did spend some time watching classic movies such as A Room with a View, and I'm currently watching I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! I will review both movies shortly. I'm reading such a wonderful book right now called the History of Love by Nicole Krauss. It is such an amazing book about the depth and discovery of love, I can't wait to finish it and tell you all about it!


Nicole Krauss is actually married to one of my favorite modern day authors,Jonathan Safron Foer. Great authors must think and marry alike!

New Haircut.

Yay! I finally got a desperately needed a haircut today. It's short little mod bob as I like to call it. Mommy and brother loved the new do on my head. I'm quickly liking it more, and hopefully I'll find different styles to try with it. I've been growing and changing a lot this summer, and I thought a new haircut would be appropiate to compliment the change. Things are looking up so far. I have a summer job, a job when I return to college, and a little family that loves me very much. I'm learning to make the most of what you have, and appreciate the things surrounding you.

In addition to my new look, I have been officially diagnosed with Michael Buble fever! I can't seem to get enough of him. I am determined to go to at least one of his concerts. Although I know he is not perfect, his songs sure do paint the picture of wonderful man. I hope to meet and marry someone as great as that!

Oh Ella.

Ah I know I haven't written in a while; I don't know why really. I will update you on my ventures soon, but here's a little bedtime anecdote I find rather soothing. Ella Fitzgerald is my all time favorite singer, and this song is just so lovely. I hope you enjoy :).



Good night.
