Hello 2013

Hello people. How's your 2013 has been? Pardon me for not updating me blog, I was in a coma (ok i am just exaggerating, not a real coma) and decided to just stepped away from blog and such for a while. school papers and assignments were piling up in both my laptop and book like crazy, forcing me to study and work even harder for them. for 2012, the result was great for two quarters while the other recent twos were kinda bumpy. I got C for the first time in a desperately-not-so-important subject however I thank God that I was able to maintain my gpa above 3.00 because grades are still important for me. 

Talking about 2013, I nearly forgot to extend "MERRY CHRISTMAS 2012 and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013" to you guys. Let us begin (or should I say, CONTINUE...DUH :D) this 2013 by becoming much more excited and passionate in every single thing we do. =) 

I will not talk or explain much in this post, however I will share pictures from my Instagram account that I took from July 2012 to January 2013. Instagram has helped me a lot in extending my passion; both traveling and taking photos. So, here you guys. Enjoy the photos and if you want, follow my Instagram at @ladida89. Till then, God bless! ;)

Fall season meaning time to enjoy warm dessert like this Nutella Crepe I got at Crepe Cafe in Bryant Park. taken in Fall - November 2012.

Fall also means a season of weirdness. It is supposed to be a bit colder but weather in NYC is always weird. I could hit the road with a shirt, a sweater, and a capri jeans with flats since it was only 15-16c/60F. taken in Fall - Sept/Oct 2012.

What a blessing being able to witnessed the most awaited concert of 2012. Barbra Streisand Live in Brooklyn. so far it was the most expensive concert I have ever attended and I will always cherish it for the rest of my life. taken in Fall - October 2012.

living in NYC meaning having a chance to experience something that only occurs once in a lifetime. like this exhibition made by Tatsu Nizhi with the Christopher Columbus' statue located at Columbus Circle, West 59th st. taken in Fall - November 2012.

surprisingly this H&M leather flats is pretty comfy! taken in Fall - September 2012.

I was on holiday for a while and this view was taken from my seat inside Emirates Boeing 777-300. taken in Winter - December 2012.

Had this at Sushi Tei Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Tobiko sushi is always a must to bite on for me. LOL. taken in December 2012.

The belated Thanksgiving post

Ok I know it is so lame that Thanksgiving was already over but pardon my laziness due to the fact assignments and projects were like A-hole; not to mention I must maintain 3.00 GPA because I am dying to enter Ivy Leagues School for Postgraduate/Doctorate degree someday.

Alright, enuff of talking nonsense. I suppose pictures speak a lot, right? Thanksgiving 2011 celebrated around 34th St, Church, Black Friday, Long Island...and the story goes...

psst... I think my pink coat has had too much exposure, don't cha ? :)

in front of St.Paul's Episcopal Church, Woodside, NY

for the first time ever, I finally wore my heels after five months of hibernation. :P

shopping at Tanger, Riverhead, NY - 1,5 hours drive from NYC

Tanger has 2 outlets - and they are BIG! LOL 

my simple Black Friday dinner. don't have much option during that day as the restaurants were packed with hungry people so, simple dinner from Deli then :)

from JC. Penney

H&M deals! $5, $10, $15...total = $30 :)

for those who crave French Patisserie, Canelle might be your best bargain. I liked their Apple Pie and Macarons.

as for this, hmm, 600 cals for dinner?! no problemo..lol but so TASTY!!! YUM! (at Tanger 2 Food court)

Canelle's Chocolate Cake and Macarons. Both of them were delish!

oh yeah, I got this from J. Crew :)

which one do you want? :)

taken during Thanksgiving Day Parade. could not even walk properly or take pictures due to the large number of people. lol

Oh, Canelle Patisserie is located at Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. 

So, how is your Thanksgiving, peeps? God bless! :)

Pink Coat Everywhere Part one

Ok I am so confused with the new layout that Blogger applied for this..oh well, change was meant to happened anyway..:D

And I am not joking with the title either, I loved my pink coat ever since I bought it (and wore it of course). Have been wearing it almost every single day for this chilly yet unpredictable fall season in NYC. Btw, the coat was from H&M.

location: Herald Square Park, 34th and 35th, New York, NY.

I am always a coffee person. I can drink up to three cups a day. (Ok, I am a bit exaggerating on it :D)

Outfit = hat - H&M, stripes turtle neck - Zara, coat - H&M, necklace - Moselle, shorts - Zara, tights - Zara, boots - UGG

Anyway, how are you peeps? NYC was having a mood swing with its' weather lately, sometimes it hit 30-40F, sometimes it even hit 65F in the day..phew..:(



God bless you!

it is hot as hell for sure!

these pictures were the proof of how NYC's weather last week was such an asshole..pardon my language but yeah..who could bear the above 100 degrees Fahrenheit??? even feels like 105-106!!! Jesus! :(

outfit = outer wear - X, S M L ; blue tank - Zara, necklace - Forever 21, denim short - Zara, belt - unbranded, flats - Topshop, bottled water - Poland Spring :P

Ok, probably Poland Spring should hire me as their model next time they're doing some ad commercial..LOL...

have a safe week, everyone! GBU :)

what's left from latest singapore trip

As you can read from the title, yeah these are what I got during my quick 4 days trip to Singapore at the beginning of May 2011.. and no, I did not over spend my money... good thing, yea?? :D

from STRADIVARIUS


from SEPHORA: MAC lipstick and Body Wash gel


accessories from Universal Studios Singapore





those 2 pictures did cost me extra bucks but really worth the quality :)


and yeah, who doesn't love HERSHEY's??? :D


I always knew I am destined for this award ;) yeah someday!!!


I enjoy drinking as long as it is still in the normal range. I don't want to stick to just red or white wine or chardonnay or cabernet sauvignon only so yeah, I got another addition at the duty free which was 2009 De Magnol's Bordeaux specialize for drinking only.. and yeah, it has flavors :)


I am planning to open this 2009 Fleur du Cap red wine before my departure to my future destination. 2 or 3 days before departure, farewell gathering at my house..:)

so, how's the month of May for you? is it good?? we're entering June in matter of seconds or minutes or even...now?? for me, it gave me quite melancholy feeling, emotions here and there, sadness, happiness, and the list continues...

God bless us all :)
