Favorites: Happy Things
Hello lovelies! I thought I’d share some things that have me smiling. I still have a collective book haul that I need to make, so look forward to that too.
- Breakfast: I love breakfast foods. However, I don’t usually eat breakfast in the mornings. I guess I’ve always tricked myself into believing that I wasn’t hungry. But Matt is very much a breakfast person not to mention a coffee person. We’ve been indulging a bit too much but I’ve really enjoyed it. But this past weekend he made me breakfast in bed…. I was still half asleep when he presented it to me, but it was one of the most romantic things I’ve ever seen. Scrambled eggs and toast with jam! Swoon! He’s so great!
- Final Fantasy Explorers: Matt and I both just recently bought this game at Gamestop. I’m so glad we did, because it’s a lot of fun playing games together.
- Kanken Backpack: I bought this backpack a month ago for my weekend trip to Austin back in January. I now must have it in every color!!! Or at least in mint, yellow, and grey….for now. I have it in bright green! This backpack holds so much and just makes me so happy. It’s the perfect backpack. Seriously…perfect.
- Pokémon pin: Target Cartwheel is wonderful. I ended up getting a perk for a free, book, movie or toy..ect. I decided to buy this $16 pack of Pokemon cards just so I can get the extra MegaVenusaur enamel pin. And I got it FREE! Bulbasaur is my favorite pokemon so I needed this.
- Watercolor notebook: I’ll mention this more in a separate blog post. I’ve been wanting to get back into watercoloring. I was never really good at it, it was just something I enjoyed doing. I like having hobbies.
- Casual Cosplay: I’m really excited for this! Matt and I plan on going to Anime Matsuri this year and we’re going to dress up as Gambit and Rogue! These two are my favorite Marvel couple/X-Men. I’m not sure if I can pull off a really good Rogue, which is why I say casual. I’ve never really cosplayed before so I don’t want this to be something I stress over. The con is in April, so I want to get started on this ASAP. Casual, meaning we are just going to try to get key elements of the characters. For Gambit, I’m thinking Matt can get away with a trench coat, black pants, a purple button up, black gloves, and a deck of cards. Perhaps even his staff? For Rogue, I want to make sure to keep her signature yellow and green color scheme. Definitely want to find a brown jacket, yellow gloves, and her streak of white hair. I may even look for some green skinny jeans and some yellow chucks. I also want to get an X-Men belt buckle! I’m still figuring things out. If you have any tips on cosplaying, I’m all ears!
- Music: Elisa from MilkBox mentioned Passion Pit in one of her check in posts. I haven’t been able to get Where the Sky Hangs out of my head for weeks. Oh Wonder’s- Drive and Live Wire has also gotten themselves stuck. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing them in concert. I love duos!
What are you loving at the moment? I’d love to hear about it. 🙂
Thanks for reading!

I work at Target but I’m always forgetting to use Cartwheel. Haha. I definitely don’t eat breakfast as much as I should either.

@Brandy, I sometimes forget to, but there are good deals every now and then. XD I shop at Target a lot.
I don’t know what it is, I just don’t get hungry until later. It’s bad for you, but it’s just how I’ve always been.

Ah I wish I could give you some of my pins! I have quite a few Disney ones that I don’t really use or like, and the style is kinda similar to your Bulbasaur one. Before I saw the photo I thought it would be really cute and cartoony actually! ?
Good luck with the cosplay! I have never cosplayed but ever since we started dating, Nick and I have kinda wanted to do Batman & Catwoman! Maybe one day, haha.
Very sweet of Matt to make you breakfast, aww. I used to never eat breakfast when I struggled with my body image, but these days I try to eat it every day to get me going. Even if it’s something small. It does take your body some time to adjust though, especially if you haven’t been eating breakfast for a long time.

@Georgie, Disney?!! I love Disney. I’ve been wanting to start a collection of pins.
Thank you! I hope it comes out ok, I’m excited and have been gathering pieces like crazy. I just need my hair piece now. And I think Catwoman and Batman would be cool! I hope you get to do it!
Yes. I’ve been trying to eat breakfast during the work week. Just so I can have something in my tummy. 😀

Ooooh, final fantasy explorers! Asdfghjk I need to buy that game ahahah. I love Oh Wonder as well! My favorite songs from them would be Without You and Drive. Haven’t heard of Passion Pit though, I’ll check it out!

@Yuki Motokane, I’ve really enjoyed playing it. And playing it with Matt has been even more fun. He’s managed to get a bit higher in level than me though. XD
Passion Pit has a lot of good songs that have recently come out so I’ve become a fan.

breakfast in bed, yes please! i never had any because pfft it’s not like my bf and i live together or anything but i’m a lazy bum and i love my bed. but i love food too so yeah. i think it’s something my bf and i would do lmao since we’re both the kind of people who need to eat and watch something at the same time hahaha
ah, FF. do you play FF 15 on PS4? i don’t, though but i wish i have ps4 to play that. it’s been such a long time ever since i played a square enix game, mainly because they’re unfair towards pc gamers lol. i don’t have consoles and i prefer pc more so yeah, i’m sad.
yay glad to know you enjoy listening to where the sky hangs! i love that one so much, very relaxing and calming 😀

@Elisa, I wanted a PS4 for Kingdom Hearts but my 3DS is the way I play. My computer can’t handle fancy games. I hope to get a new computer for gaming and video editing and of course blogging.

@Kimmy, i got an excuse to build quite a powerful pc because i was still in uni back then and i said i wanted a pc that could render my 3D project fast hehehehe >:)
you should have gotten ps4 for kh! Lol. sorry i’m probably just biased because if i own a console, it’d be ps4. i don’t like playing on ds even though i used to have nds before it broke into halves lmao i just prefer HD graphics and large screen which is why i condone to pc now.

I dunno why we aren’t breakfast people…!? We went out this morning and Jody wanted to get a waffle just to send you a picture.
I’m glad Matt is going to cosplay with you!!! I can’t wait to see the full get up! I still need to buy Saturday con tickets.
FFE is such a cute game – I haven’t logged into it in forever but it is a perfect little battling game to play with someone.

@Mija, I dunno either. We are weird. He never sent it to me though. XD
Yeah he got shows and purple shirt so far, the jacket is still a problem but hopefully we find one. It’s not exactly in style right now. Is Vera going to wear Totoro outfit or are you gonna dress her up as something else?
I’ve loved playing it! Still want to get Monster Hunter going….hopefully you guys can help us with that.

MMMMM. I love breakfast foods too except I enjoy brunch more?? Does that even make sense when they’re pretty much closely related to each other? Like, brunch makes me happier than breakfast does.
Oh! Passion Pit! I used to listen to that group so religiously back then but haven’t done so in a while – gonna listen to them tonight now 😀

@Eena, Brunch is nice, because then you can sleep through breakfast but then wake up a bit later and still enjoy a breakfast type meal. XD I get it.
I would listen to them on and off without really realizing it was them. That makes no sense…but it’s what I did and then I heard their newer songs and was like, “Yeah, I like this.”
