I'm over the name of my blog. Lol. But I haven't been able to come up with one I like. I've also wondered about the direction of this blog as well.
Although, I wonder about the direction of the blog, I wonder where I will be able to put things like my reviews and mentions of movies I've watched like just yesterday, watched Friends With Benefits (I loved it, btw) and also my movie lists and challenges... so yeah, decisions, decisions.
I've been pretty busy with life in general. I've pretty much put down a pattern of work, going out, sleep interweaved with catching up on the internet world every now and then. For a few of the past weeks, I have worked 5/7 days but not the traditional Monday ~ Friday, unfortunately. I work Wednesday ~ Sundays at interesting/awkward times. Weekdays 2pm - 7pm and Weekends 11am - 4pm.
As well as working, I have been buying a heap of load of stuff. I need to stop. Mostly clothes which is mostly showcased here (at my Dresses n Bows fashion/beauty blog).
In other news, it's my birthday soon! Getting olderrr! ~_~ Having a joint birthday celebration on Friday with another friend who had her birthday yesterday (13 Sept) and most probably going out on Saturday and thinking of yum cha, but probably would want to rest Saturday morning/afternoon...
Will post up a real entry sometime. Probably my thoughts on Friends With Benefits. (it was REALLY good, btw)

IMDB Top 100 Movie List
(Or aka. More Moives To Watch List for My 211 Movies in 2011....)
Well. So far in my 22 years of existence, I have seen only 12% of this list. A little bit disappointing? I'm not sure of the word I'm after but, wow. I feel I want to watch them all again and get a fresh perspective.
To note, I have watched Inception about 3 times; enjoyed Leon: The Professional, it was a different movie to what I would usually watch; also enjoyed and liked The Departed (want it on DVD) and Spirited Away (own it on DVD~ =)), Inglorious Basterds was extremely graphic and although I must admit was an above average movie and despite the graphicness, I liked it. And, the rest are just mediocre and not worth mentioning.
This was taken from Cafe Chick at Tales from a Cafe Chick, who lives in New Zealand! I love finding New Zealand bloggers! ^^ Top 100 under the cut.

Lost and Lessons Learned
One of the few pictures that was salvaged... an ornament that I'm not sure where I got/acquired that has been fixed after taking a big fall...
Somehow I lost all my files on my camera's memory card... :( I had taken lots of photos for 30 for 30 of the items of my clothes.... =\ don't even know how it happened nor can I get it back through Recuva... well some of them. Sigh.
I really enjoyed An Education. I had some idea of what it was about but was really surprised at how it turned out. Really liked it :) and The Tooth Fairy, not so much, it was nice and had its funny bits, but don't think will want to watch it again.
Oooh, and have a job interview tomorrow for a recruitment company! Wish me luck! Also have a busy day tomorrow. Tomorrow will see me do that one (or so) last thing for to complete my degree! I probably should have spent time on that instead of watching a movie... will do some work on it before bed and also make sure I have everything I need in order and organised/ready for tomorrow!

February Spending Summary
Before going into the monthly spending round up, just wanted to mention a few things like won a ticket to a free movie screening put on by AUSM - AUT's student movement and it was great. Really enjoyed the movie. The movie was The Adjustment Bureau and it has the perfect mix of romance and action. Or more, action than romance so the boys will probably enjoy it... not that I've seen The Bourne Identity, I kinda sense that its somewhat similar, but then they just add in the bureau and the girl.... I dunno, will let you know when I've watched the latter.
Also, the other night, I baked the perfect 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies! This time, I used a teaspoon to scoop them and they are just SO crunchy! I love them and given a few away to friends and my mum. I want to make more! XD
And, since I did this on my LJ, thought would add it here too, in case you missed something or something catches your eye. February Summary:
Then below under the cut is February's Spending Summary... I think after this month's tracking, I will set goals... after seeing if there are any themes.
- baked and spent about $100 more than I earnt
- made goals for March... more like a "monthly to-do" list.
- got into Pretty Little Liars.... still need to watch the pilot! I started watching/realized it was on one episode too late! (and also mused about the meaning of new months for me...)
- finished a book, Sloppy Firsts and watched four movies to add to my watched movies list.
- ate out at La Bruschetteria with a Spreets voucher. It was really nice! Def recommend it :)
- made my first dinner, enchiladas and hot chocolate submarino!

Finished.
I wish the title was referring to me being finished my degree. But it's pretty close. Just one more presentation in which I might wing.... hmm, maybe not.
Anyways, the title is referring to being finished my second book of the year... so, so far my goal for reading 17 books maybe going according to plan... well, actually it would be if I were to read 12 books, but I think I will be able to read another 5... actually, just started reading Pretty Little Liars before even being finished Sloppy Firsts.
I'm intrigued by Pretty Little Liars TV programme. Watched the second episode of the first season today. Really good, has the element of intrigue as I read on Lights MB... it has amped me up for what's coming up... so I'm thinking possibly Pretty Little Liars is going to be my third book, although I have another four books that I borrowed from the library to read before this time next month....
And, just to say something about the book I just finished reading before moving on. I liked it! By the end anyway. I didn't really like it at the beginning, and was actually going to just read the first and not the rest, but now that I've finished reading it, I want to know what happens next! Left at a cliffhanger! So, yes will definitely be reading the rest. I also love the Marcus Flutie. He's so awesome and so awww-worthy at times!~
While also updating my books challenge thing, might do a little update about my 2011 movies challenge... unfortunately that's not going as swimmingly... I think I should be up to 24 movies by now... but not. Although I have seen a few movies since then, 2 last week in fact! I enjoyed one and throughly hated the latter! I think I was going to update about that movie [Due Date, btw] but, didn't for some reason but yeah. Awful and annoying movie! Hated it, all throughout pretty much!! DX I liked Unstoppable though!
And now, time for some photos for some light relief! Made/melted chocolate and poured them into moulds for Valentine's Day for boyfriend! I do admit it was a very last minute idea, but great nonetheless! ^^ Also, celebrated our two-year anniversary last week too! =) Actually, nearly forgot what we did, lol but I think it was just a nice homecooked meal since he didn't want to go out due to crowds..
Dinner one night... potato and leek soup | Valentine's Day gift for the boyfriend ~ moulded choc hearts!
Also, was very due for a blog post! Also been thinking about reviewing goals monthly and maybe even making monthly goals.... to make it even more specific and cos you'll probably forget if it's just yearly goals.. also [my third also] can't wait for the next month to begin, even though I did want to do it this month starting last week but... forgot and stuff. Can't wait for next month so can do my first 30 for 30 Challenge! Maybe even 31 for 30... since there's 31 days in March. Think will take photos of the 30 items so I have a visual and cos then it'll be somewhat easy to document too :)
