Two Days

 

Two more days until I head out to Tucson :]

City Lights

Pictures from Bryant Park. I really love how the city looks during Christmas. Everything is sparkling, lit up, and fantastically festive. In every direction, there are things to make me smile :] Bryant Park was especially lovely with unique and adorable little shops and plenty of chairs to sit in. 

The city is just one train ride away for me and I don't take advantage of it nearly enough. Wintertime is definitely my favorite time of year for Manhattan though.

 These were just a few of the numerous stalls. How crazy are the metal sculptures?! I ended up buying some earmuffs at the last store. I was debating on whether or not I should haggle with the seller since his items weren't priced.. and he was asian. My mom is always telling me that I have to try to haggle with asian people. I just can't seem to do it. Maybe I should spend more time to Chinatown '-'

Holiday themed window displays. I really wanted one of those scrumptious candy canes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Rockefellar Center was insanely crowded. We were packed like sardines. The angels were beautiful though<3

 Saks 5th Ave window displays. Most of them had moving parts, they were gorgeous.

  In the Nintendo Store.

This Banh Mi was overpriced and it wasn't even as good as the real thing. oh well, on goes my search for a banh mi to satisfy my craving~

I hope your holidays are going well<3

 It snowed last night :] its all pretty much gone today though. I hope the snow holds off until i can fly out next week.

 My LG  Cosmos Touch arrived yesterday! It's nice to have a phone again after living without one for a month<3

It moves its mouth :]

The Fledermaus

These pictures were from yesterday but i was too sleepy to post them by the time I got on the laptop at 2 am :x. I really like the color of this shirt and how I don't have to suck in my tummy when I wear it. I just wish I hadn't shortened the straps so much, it's a little too high now. It was the first time I used my sewing machine too so the stiches are way too close for me to undo. Oh wells, it's still cute ^^

I really need to make sure I wear my longer shirts when I wear these jeans. They're a little loose at the waist and pretty low cut so my butt crack kinda shows if I'm not careful. Maaaaybe I should wear start wearing belts.

Die Fledermaus. German for 'bat' aka 'flying mouse'. I made it from a craft kit that I bought Kevin for Christmas a coupla years ago. He never got around to making anything inside of it so I made one myself :]. It's a book that has paper machines (but they call them automata) in them. It's really pretty cool. You can't see it, but there's a crank on the side of the box that you turn to make the mouse flap its arms. I don't think I made it that well cause it doesn't really flap very much but it's still adorable :P I used glue stick for it so some parts kept coming apart which was a little frustrating. I really love making things though. It's the same feeling when I help my dad put together ikea furniture, I just feel so proud and accomplished afterwards.

 Played some Rock Band with Kevin for a couple of hours last night too. I made a video and realized my voice sounds higher than I thought it did when I record it. I wonder if that's what my voice really sounds like to everyone else o.o

I realize that I use different tones of voice depending on who I'm talking to. With my family I tend to speak deeper than when I'm with Vinh. Is it just me or is it something that everyone does?

I just have to get through these last three finals and I'm through. I'm already in vacation mode though, I don't really want to study right now lol. Gotta squeeze out some good grades and next week I'll be able to relax :]
