Breathe in the Fresh Air

When the Legion expansion first came out, I didn't play right away. I didn't think I'd be interested. But then found it oddly nostalgic while watching my husband play and decided to purchase it. Now I am really into WoW and finding this one of my favorite expansions. A (hubby) was slightly ahead of me and he reached Suramar first. He was so amazed by it that he kept telling me to come look whenever he was there. And I was just as in awe as he was. It's absolutely beautiful. It made us both think of Hogwarts (although there is a magician's academy in Azsuna, not Suramar) and for me, I really love the botanical theme it has going on.  This screenshot above is from The Waning Cresent. I really am crazy about those crawling vines. I feel that I would like to have some of my home decor inspired by it. If I could find someone to paint me a mural that isn't very cheesy with some vines and a few blooms just like the one above, then I might actually have this

Probably never posted about this, but a while back I started playing my Paladin. It is probably the first time that I've seriously healed with a paladin. It's been really fun, I'm enjoying it a lot. Been interested in healing with a priest, too, but unfortunately I only have time to play one character. So the priest will have to wait. When I join the looking for raid groups I like hearing the priest heal animations because that used to be my main (and only) healing class. Surprisingly, though, I can't stand playing mage anymore. It used to be my favorite!

I think I prefer this interior package with the wood trims. It's so beautiful! I know it seems like I'm focusing on aesthetics, but if I'm going to pay that much for a car and have it last a decade with me, it has to mostly work and look the way I want it to!

Breaking Away

I'm so frustrated that the iPhone blogger app keeps crashing and there have been no updates to it. I can't post as much as I would like as I'm not always using the laptop. Yesterday I tried the Audi Q7 and I really love it. I'm going to take time to think about it a bit more. It costs a bit more than I expected (the prices that you can get online are only averages or estimates or w/e), but it's worth it in my opinion. Driving it feels like driving a feather but this feather is powerful. It does not feel like an SUV at all, it's so petite! It's an absolute treat to drive. Tiny but powerful and very quiet. I still think I should give the Mercedes-Benz a look but I've been reading comparisons that state that the Q7 is actually roomier. 

Like it or Leave it

I had a sad day yesterday. The dr. said our project is too vast and that he would like to see it reduced to something smaller so that we can actually do some analysis that everyone would understand. It made me upset because the project is about my father's office and at first he seemed really bored with it (the dr that is). Then it turns out that he actually worked with my father in the past and said that their IT at the time was actually the most advanced in the city...this was back in '96. I told him that my father passed away in '04 and since then there hasn't been many advances done. I feel so embarrassed that I shared that in front of the class. They now all know something personal about me and it upsets me. It also made me realize I miss my dad so much.

Potentially...

So this is the other car that I am somewhat interested in. The Mercedes-Benz GLE, which is also a 7 seater. I tend to always go for navy blue, maybe I am hoping that my dream car will be navy blue. The Mercedes-Benz interior is absolutely amazing. I would not have even considered it if it hadn't been for how amazing it looked. I love the design of the leather seats and the color of the wooden trim. It's just so stylish! We have a group presentation today and I just wish we didn't have to present.

Today I decided to order a few things from Net-A-Porter that I've kinda had my eyes on. First, the top and leggings because they look so amazing and remind me of the stylish gym clothes that gymnasts wear. The cosmetic case...I just had to. I needed a larger cosmetic case due to constantly moving around from our place to mom's and that specific print was the perfect option. Charlotte Olympia, well, because it's Charlotte Olympia and Barbie! I was born in the 80s, that shade of pink is pure nostalgia for me and my favorite shade of pink! I also came to the conclusion that I can only do 2 courses this semester and planning to go in tomorrow to drop my third one. It wasn't really that easy to come to that decision but my son is quite hyper and often gets hurt as a result. It's hard for me to think about studying or leaving him when I know he falls so often. Hopefully by December we'll know if he can get a spot at preschool. If he's putting his energy out in

It's so right!

It seems I have a different flavor of the week in terms of cars so far, but as I've probably said to myself before. It will all depend on the test drive. This is the Audi Q7. I never thought I'd want an Audi. The girls at school used to go crazy for Audis but it just wasn't a name I knew or paid attention to. I knew Mercedes-Benz & BMW, that was pretty much all I knew about cars. These days, however, I could see a car passing by and without even seeing the name I'd know, ah, that' a BMW. A family member recommends the Mercedes-Benz equivalent of the Audi Q7 as it is probably a little more spacious, but I think I'll post about it another time. A few days ago I met up with a friend out and we shopped at Sephora then had dinner. My kids came along and it seems like everyone had a great time. I feel lighthearted and happy that I got to do something with other adults! Next week Hermes is opening at a new mall and we have been invited to attend the openi

Working Hard or Hardly Working

It seems 3 subjects per semester is a bit too much stress for me and I don't enjoy it. However, there is no point in me stalling any longer. I should work hard now so that I can relax later. 8 more weeks, meaning 7 or less classes. There is a holiday in the mix somewhere so it's not like I'll have to attend the classes that much longer...

So today before logging on WoW I noticed that there was something new on the Battle.net app. There was a DATE under Karazhan!! In 10 days the raid is coming and I must gear up! Well, going to have to get my paly to 110 first (currently 107) but I do believe paladin is my main right now. I've little interest in playing other things. Enjoying healing so far, we'll see if I would still enjoy it in heroics, mythics & raids!

I kinda have my eyes on 2 Cartier bracelets that I'd like to decide between. It doesn't mean I'll get them now just that I want to see which one to go for first. I already have a rose gold love bracelet with no diamonds. So right now I'm trying to decide between a 4 diamond yellow gold love or a yellow gold juste un clou. Pictures were from Cartier.com

It sucks that the blogger app on my phone keeps crashing before I even get the chance to finish writing my posts. I don't know what's causing it and it doesn't look like there's an update at the moment. Never really posted pictures of my newly acquired bags that were on my wishlist, so here they are. First off, the pink colorblock Fendi and the charm. The pink and light green are even more fabulous in person. I can easily say this is my favorite color combination and I don't feel like it's "too trendy". The charm is also really cute, I loved it so much that I went to one of my local Fendi boutiques and purchased 2 more and maybe going to get another one, too, soon. The Mansure Gavriel, simple, hard, easy to scratch but lovely either way. It's big enough to fit a lot of stuff and I find the bucket bag look very easy going. It's perfect on the weekends when I go to the barn or something as it's very low key.  I'm really

Last week I did a bit of Ulduar with a friend. It wasn't too nostalgic as I rarely ever did Ulduar. When I reached the point where I could raid it was mostly trial of the champion/crusader and then ice crown citadel. Been wanting to post on my blog for days now but the app on my phone keeps crashing. I wrote something really ranty last night and was so upset but even though the post is gone I feel like my feelings are out in the world and not bottled up inside.

I love this cute cat bag from Chanel. I feel like I really want to add it to my collection. Although the pattern is seasonal it's just so cute and it's cats! What more could I ask for? I am really hungry today. I had 2 boiled egg sandwiches for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Right now it's 5.30 and I'm starved. I wonder if I should have a light dinner now before class? The level of hunger I've reached can be quite distracting I believe. And it's not like I'm craving anything specific, so it's not carb cravings or anything like that. Not really in the mood for class at all. I feel down because my summer vacation didn't go as I'd hoped and everything else I'd been looking forward to just went down the drain recently. I don't feel like I have the energy to do anything.

Earlier today I had this "amazing idea" of maybe selling the Nissan and buying the Lexus GX instead of the RX, simply because the GX is more of a family car and we hopefully plan to have more little ones in the future. However, I am not ready to part with the Nissan yet even though I rarely drive it and feel that it's too huge for me. Sometimes it feels like I'm driving a truck rather than an SUV. The GX is approximately the same size as the Toyota Prado that my family owns and I drive most of all. So I figured once I get my own car it should be around the same dimensions as the Prado as it is quite comfortable for me. Owning my own car is a far away dream for me and has always been. But probably around January/February once we are back home, it would probably be time for me to seriously think about getting my own car as by then it'll be a necessity since I won't be living at my parents' house anymore therefore can't borrow their cars when
