A little boy crazy

As a huge Sex and the City fan I have started to see a correlation in my life. Maybe it's because I make the same mistakes with it comes to guys or even the fact, that I am always broke yet, manage to afford my high maintaince ways. But no, it's about the guys. It's ALWAYS about the guys. And the guys in my life have seem to reflected the guys that Carrie, Samantha and Miranda have dated. I would involve charlottles men but, I actually thought Charlottle had a good love life. I've come to the conclusion that they can be divided into the four categories.

Mr.Big : The unattainable one. Over the top with his words. He makes you swoon. He brings you on this emotional roller coaster. That, for some unexplainable reason, you always get back on. You love to hate him but hate to love him. I think every girl has met this guy. The one that no matter what his done to you, you'll always care. You can't seem to shake him. That's your Mr.Big

Aiden Shaw : The Hopeless Romantic. The good guy. The one who isn't afraid to commit to you. Who has absolutely everything to offer you. On paper, his paper. But in real life ... Missing something you just can't put your finger on. This guy loves you, would do anything for you. But you hurt him. And he forgives you and, still thinks the world of you. But yet you always find yourself pushing him away. That's your Aiden Shaw.

Richard Wright : The lover. The over-lover. He says he loves you but he has a wandering eye. In fact, it's not you in specific he loves but woman in general. And he just feels that he must spread his love to everyone. He doesn't want to settle down. He wants to explore the world and the woman in it, at the expense of your heart. That's your Richard Wright. Who really isn't right for you at all.

Steve Brady : The dreamer. The sweetheart. The ambitious one. He may seem a little too .. Under your league. But his real lover. He cares. He want the best for everyone. And his definitely not afraid to commit to you. His your best friend who has the best intentions. Although a little misguided at times. A bit annoying at times with his infatuation with you. But you know his hearts in the best place. That's your Steve Brady.

Now, I'm not trying to judge EVERY guy in the world. I'm positive that not every guy in this world can fit into these four fictional male characteristics. It just so happens that majority of the ones I met do. Am I lucky or what ? Clearly. Any of the guys in your life seem to match the ones from Sex and the City ?

Oxo,

UPDATE 05/27/13

It's that time of year where softball gets more intense and, schools marks start to become a little more final. Which have all contributed to my lack of blogging. Lets call it my time-off. I should be back on track now, minus the end of June. Which will be a a busy, BUSY, time for me. But lets talk about some new things for myself and, my blog.
- Her Campus Network
Awhile back I applied to join the Her Campus Blogging Network program. Her Campus being one of my favourite sites to read and waste my time on, I was so excited when I received my acceptance email into the network ! You can see by my new badge on the side of my page that it is official. All post that are inspired or intertwined with Her Campus will be marked and tagged. Make sure to check out http://www.herCampus.com !
- My Softball Team
As we all know, I play softball. I'm on an amazing team of ball players. Not only are they my teammates but my best friends. We've placed in our last three tournaments. 3rd in Kelowna, 2nd in Seattle and, 2nd in our home hosted Sullivan tournament. As cheesy as it sounds hard work TRUELY does pay off.

And that's honestly all that I've been up I in my "time-off" of Cruel Intentions.

The Smoothiest of Smooth : Hungry girl # 2

Hey dolls, what I busy week this has been .. As you can see from my last post I would suffering from one of my little "stress-downs" but, it's now Sunday and I plan to relax. One thing I really wanted to share was two of my current favorite smoothie recipes. Regardless of it's going to an 8 am softball game or just going to school, I always have one. I, personally, never want to eat breakfast when I walk up. I also always like to maximize my sleeping time before I walk up. These bad boys help me do so ! That being said, I love a big breakfast ! But these are my quick relief breakfast. These actually full me up after drinking and their good for you ! (All recipes are adjustable).

Smoothie #1
Ingredients
4 Strawberries
1/4 of a mango
1 banana 
2/3 of milk

Magic bullet all those fruits and milk together. Or just use a regular blender

Smoothie #2 

Ingredients

1/4 (6 slices) of cucumber

Can of sliced peaches

1 Banana

4 Strawberries

Once again blend them all in either a blender or magic bullet.

Let me know if you try any,

Stress and Anxiety (Slowly Killing Me)

I have actually been overly fatigued and stressed lately. Between softball, making mid-term marks, applying for my summer work experience at the hospital, and family duties, I never really have my own down-time. I probably seem like such a hermit to some people because I'm so get in-get out when it comes to school and, always giving them the excuse " I have softball " when I'm invited out. I sincerely do have softball when I say it though. I swear ! But it's finally taking it's toll on me and my body. I don't do best when it comes to stress or being stressed out. I tend to get rather emotional and suffer from anxiety. Surprise ! I can get it really bad when I let things get to be too much. I've discovered that there are A LOT of negative things that I can do to kill my anxiety and stress. All of which, are not good for me. I really do try to stay away from those but bad habits are hard to break. Especially when they're oh-so addicting. But I have found a few positive things that I can do to kill my anxiety and stress, and calm me down.

1.Eating ice cream while watching Greys Anatomy 
I find that the coldness of ice cream not only cools my mouth but, my nerves. There is something about eating a personal sized tub of ice cream with a small spoon that is, ever so smoothing. It strangely really does something for me. Dr.McDreamy and Dr.McSteamy. Need  I say more ? I love nothing more than a good drama to emerge myself in. Especially in the hospital setting (my dream workplace). It doesn't matter how depressing the show may get, I forget my problems and put myself in theirs. It really takes my mind off things.

2.Painting my nails
You don't want nail polish all over your cuticles. You don't want one hand prettier than the other. You can't have one nail perfect and the other looking like a mess. One must focus to get the perfect, or at least try to get the perfect, home-made manicure. Focusing takes my mind off what is stressing me. It was my aunt who once said " It never mattered how bad my day was, I could always buy a bottle of nail polish and feel better. "  It's a cheap way of retail therapy, a way to get your nails pretty (because everyone knows an outfit isn't complete without some nails all done up), and a quick way to de-stress yourself and forget what was causing your trouble.

Hoping that I can make it to the end of this week without entering my bed and never leaving it.

Break fast for Breakfast ! Hungry Girl #1

Hey everyone, this is the first post of my new series that I've decided to start. "Hungry Girl", inspired by the Hungry Girl Franchise created by Lisa Lillien and, the sole fact that I am, in fact, a HUNGRY girl ! I have a fast metabolism and a big appetite. With my lack of spare time with softball, school and work, I'm always looking for fast-quick meals that taste good. Which is what the series will be about, quick recipes that I have tried and want to share. I tried this one straight out of Hungry Girl 1-2-3 The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet. But of course, I put my own twist on it !

Bacon-Apple-Cheese Frittata - Which is basically a Spanish omelette 
Ingredients:
1 Egg
1/4 of an apple
A stalk of green onion 
3/4 cup of cheese ( Or however cheesy you like it)
A handful of cilantro 
5 strips of bacon ( Or however much you would like)
Prepared Time: 10-15 Minutes,    Cooking Time: 5 Minutes

You would like to cut up all ingredients finely. For the simple fact that, it will all be sprinkled on top of the egg. But of course, you can chop the things up to the size you feel most comfortable with. 

Heat up your non-stick skillet to about High-Medium 7 and cook the chosen amount of bacon strips. Once cooked, cut them up into tiny strips.

Whip the egg. Change the heat on the skillet to medium 5 or 6. Spread the egg evenly and as thing as you can over your skillet. You want the whole pan covered in the egg. Then, spread your chopped up ingredients evenly over the spread egg.

Flip over once, Just to toast and crisp up the cheese and make sure it's all cooked.

Serve it with whatever you like ! A little hot sauce on the side gives it just the kick you need ;-) I didn't want to waste the rest of the apple so I cut it up, along with some strawberries. Top it off with a bottle of water to cleanse my system.

Enjoy :-)

Happy 25th !

April 2nd, was my Aunt, Sister and Best friends 25th birthday ! I was lucky enough to be with her at 12am because she took me to the Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Concert. Which was AMAZING.

Her favourite food just happens to be Greek. At least the favourite food that my chef cook Grandpa makes.

Next came presents. Her boyfriend spoiled her with a trip for two to Las Vegas !

I was decided to make the lovely surprise card for her. You must listen to Rihanna to understand the card. Excuse my chicken scratch of writing.

After everyone settling down from the excitement of the tickets to vegas, we cut the cut ! Angel food cake with a whip cream topping and strawberries. I decorated the cake. Can't you tell ?

Lovely Tuesday night celebrating it with family !
