you are...

saw this on instagram and thought it was beautiful.
the quote and the photograph.[from: @dontyouagree]

it moved me in a way that i felt i should share it.
perfect.

not so bad

i'm the kind of girl who stresses about everything.
what can i say i'm a perfectionist.
everything always has to be right and go right.
[i blame my dad for that. he is such a perfectionist!!]

but with the new year and what not and
all the resolutions that came with it,
i decided to try to relax and take things easier.
calm down a bit.

i'm still freaking out about small things
[don't judge me i'm still trying :) !]
and yes, i still get nervous and anxious about a lot of other things
but i realize now that things are really not so bad.
i think it's the waiting game for me. i do not like to wait!
do not!

i always freak out about something...
then i end up loving it or it's really fun!
and than again i realize why was i so worried in the first place?
for no reason, that's why!

i guess what i'm really trying to get at is...
stress is stress, sometimes yes, i want to scream and pull out my hair.
but in the end the time passes.
stress passes and all i really did was
age myself and made myself looked worn out faster being all stressed!

no more stresses... lol!
[okay, maybe just a little bit! no one can change in a day! :) ]

project bling #95

surprise! project bling wasn't gone...
i just got really lazy! :P

well here's another project that i worked on.
i clocked in approximately 13.5 hours
[that's so much less time than project bling #15,
go check it out]
gluing those rhinestones one by one and by hand!

why do i do this you ask?
because i love bling, glitter, rhinestones
and diamonds!
so why not cover everything i own with it!

this time it's a guitar...
[even though i can't play the guitar :( ]

here are some photos:

event of the month - year 2012

if you look back to my post titled
'you once live once' dated 04 april 2012.
i mentioned that in 2012 chris and i developed
the idea to do a month activity or event a month.

i started a list of everything we did and stopped at april
since we obviously didn't get to the other months
since they haven't passed :P
so here is our fully updated list of monthly activities for 2012:

january: lady antebellum - concert
february: west side story - play
march: chicago bulls game in chicago
april: rent - play
may: couples massages
june: the temptations - concert
july: michael jackson - cirque du soleil
august: rascal flatts and lifehouse - concerts (separate)
september: colorado - road trip
october: halloween bar-hopping
november: cruise to the bahamas
december: hockey game

chris and i haven't decided if we're going to do
this again for 2013 - not because it wasn't fun
but because
i developed a new idea for 2013 with the help
of my favorite website: pinterest!
i'll keep you posted if we decide to or not!
i do recommend it! it was very fun for the both of us!

we have a thing called date night in a jar!
[i'll blog about this later on so hang tight!]

happy belated new year!

well, it looks like we've made it to
another year! i just can't believe it's 2013!

as everyone knows a new year comes new goals.
chris and i took the time in mid-december and
wrote some goals we would like
to achieve in the next year.

i've decided not to post them onto my blog
because when i can see them, it makes it harder to achieve them
because i put more pressure onto myself to get them done.
i, however, only put two really hard to achieve goals
on the list because i don't want to set unrealistic
goals up for myself and fail.

let's see what the year holds for chris and i.
i hope it goes as planned and i hope you take this journey with me.
considering its 6 days into the new year i have to say things are going well.
and i hope the rest of my journey will follow suit.
i'll blog all about my adventures!

and i'm going to wish big this year!
'keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart'

[yay! first blog of the freaking year! woOOOooOoO!]
