// 01. cinnamon cookies like there's no tomorrow. really, can you guys call me the "cinnamon girl" now? no, i'm kidding. that's hysterical. but really- cinnamon cookies are the most delicious things in the world. besides bubble + milk tea and nutella + strawberry crepes, that is.

// 02. beach trip, again. 7,000 islands from where i am - what do you expect? this time we went banana boating and it was so much  fun! 

// 03. goodbye inspiration place. okay, if you dig deep down in my posts, you'll find a post about my inspiration place - the beach. there is this one specific beach though, that is about two hours from where we live, that we visit regularly. and yes, it is the beach with that long wooden bridge that nobody knows about. it is the beach where i get to contemplate, sing to myself sometimes and just relax. guess what? they tore half of the bridge down, so now it's shorter than it really is. i think they're starting to close that portion of the beach, which really makes me sad. {i am more disappointed than what it may seem in this post.} 

// 04. what came in the mail today? two gorgeous pairs of shoes from my grandaunt totally made my weekend. and guess what? they came from thrift stores in italy & spain! sure, they've been used a few times - but they are still brilliant, bold and beautiful. i love them so much, it hurts.

Because Summer is exactly four days away...

Just a really great idea from Bella at this little, lovely blog called Life in the 852

1. Mother's Day- Today I met a new friend. His name is Phili. I love to make new friends.
2. Japanese Restaurants- You can never get enough of sushi, seriously. 
3. Homy restaurants- I love the feeling I get when I enter this restaurant. I love their hot chocolate, ahhh.
4. Mom- My mom went to Bangkok on a business trip again with my aunt and brought home some lovely accessories for me to play around with.
5. Heat- I sweat 24/7 now, the average heat goes at about 34 degrees Celsius...Hot or...?!!
6. New book. New book. (Party dance) Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent. (Kill me, now.)

School has really taken up all the time for me to blog, read, shop and eat. For the past three weeks, I've been doing my best to leave good marks on my papers to make my parents feel proud about the new school they've put me in. And I guess, hard work and faith in God does result to good things...Being a new student does contradict with the idea of me getting any of the school's awards. It's unfair. I'm tired to ramble, but if you think about it harder, you'll understand. 

But guess what? During the awarding ceremony last Friday, I was surprised when they called my name on to award me with the "Most Outstanding New Student Award" which truly surprised me and made me relieved with all the work that I had been doing in the school year, especially in the past few weeks. 

God really works in his mysterious ways, and it is safe to say that good things do come to those who work hard for it! 

I'm free!....for a few days...

*Bummer*

Yes, I know. A few days. What could it be this time? Well, it could be a three week trip abroad! Which will truly add vibrancy to my future posts. 

I promise. I promise to the Heavens. My blog will bam this summer. 

I guarantee it--one hunted and one percent.

P.S My english teacher liked my final paper (which was actually a short story), and was wondering if you guys would like to read it, somehow? :)

P.P.S Already saved my Hunger Games blog post on my desktop. It is too pretty. :) Will post it during my three week vacation  / trip :)

again and again

Okay. I didn't really think I wouldn't be posting for ten days, but every single day the questions kept ringing to me: "What do blog about? What to take pictures of? What to say?" And worried that I didn't give out complete answers, I decided to keep myself discreet from blogging for a little while.

The break from blogging was terrible, if you ask me. I think that the whole idea speaks for itself...(Cyber Hi-5 if you understand why! ☺)

Over those 10 days of boredom and school, the number of pictures I would take lessened each day. Thankfully, Instagram saved a little bit of my life. :) 

I have been on more adventures with my Docs lately: movie watching (hunger games!!!!!!!!!), frozen yogurt eating, shopping, modeling, showing off to other people (hi), running, jumping into leaf piles (hence getting myself into trouble), stomping on puddles and taking pictures. Oh, the fun things that we are able to do together!

OKAY. WHO DOES NOT LOVE BAZOOKA!?!?! AND BAZOOKA JOE'S COMICS????! That is my childhood right there! I was so thrilled when my cousin brought us some Bazooka gum! Apparently, they restocked a local convenience store with these babies. Thank the Lord! :) 

Drooling over these little ones again. And again. And again. They're just full of loveliness. I'm loving that red one on the corner.

Daily Instagram Photos. I'm thinking of adding that into every post I make. I'll choose my three favorite photos of the week/time (making sure each photo has a little story behind it) and add them unto the post!

1. Had a sleepover with the one-and-only lovely Cheska :)

2. Thrifted for some postcards and read some of their messages to pass time! 

3. Am currently addicted to this game: Snoopy's Street Fair! It's so fun, haha!

Follow me on Instagram! (stellapangilinan) If you do, leave a comment below with YOUR username and I'll follow you back :) That's about it for today. I'm sorry if you were expecting more than this!

"MORE THAN THIS" reminds me of One Direction. Love those boys!

P.P.S, A Hunger Games inspired post is coming up!!!! Am so excited for it.
