Blogmas Snap #5 | Donuts!

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

For the second time this week, my mom had some yummy treats waiting for me and my siblings. This time it was donuts! I haven't eaten a donut in quite a while now, so they were especially delicious. This picture was taken after I basically inhaled a Maple Bar (it WAS next to the chocolate one, but it is now navigating its way throughout my body) and the other half of the donut in the upper left corner. Then, after dinner, I ate one of the powdered, chocolate-icing filled ones. All the sugar.

Hope you all had a great week. I, for one, am ready for the weekend. Anything interesting planned? Lemme know in the comments!

Blogmas Snap #4 | Rainwater Reflection

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

After a couple days of rain, or rather just a change of weather, the sun has returned. My dad likes to set up containers like these to catch the water when it rains. This is but one of them. He typically sets up multiple empty trash cans and gallon bottles. All of them usually get filled to the brim! 

When the rain goes away to come back another day, he uses the contents of the containers to water the plants.

Me and my sister ventured outside to check out the containers and decided to take a quick little snap of our reflection in this bucket. A natural mirror selfie if you will, haha. I like the palm tree leaves that wrap around the top. And look at the blue, clear sky! So pretty. Though I do wish for more seasonal weather, I appreciate the fact that we don't live with blizzards and frozen everything. I want some colder weather, just not that cold.

How's the weather where you live?

Blogmas Snap #3 | Chocolate Marshmallow Santa

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

When I got home from school today, my mom had some festive treats waiting for me and my siblings. She buys these for us every now and then for special occasions. Thanks mom! During holidays, Russell Stover has themed chocolate-covered marshmallows. For Christmas, they have cute little Santa ones! They are delicious and make me a happy boy. We usually get these from our local CVS.

Are there any festive treats that you eat this time of year?

Blogmas Snap #2 | A Rainy Day

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Today was a rainy day in SoCal. As someone who is tired of the ever-present sun and warm weather here, I was overjoyed at the change of temperature. It's finally starting to feel like California winter haha. Here's a little snap of a lovely view and the gloomy, overcast sky with a dampened empty street. I'm so ready for some sweater weather.

Oh, look! Two snaps in one day! And this one is of my face. Lucky you! ;) I was actually able to wear a jacket without the need to take it off halfway through the day. Usually, the weather shifts from something like 50 to 80ish by lunchtime. As it rained today, I got to wear my hood. So, naturally, on this rare Southerm California occasion, I took a selfie with it.

Hope you all had a great day!

Blogmas Snap #1 | Mr. Buble

Hi World!

Happy December! So you know how a lot of vloggers do Vlogmas (where you vlog every day til Christmas) in December? Yeah? Cool. Well I've decided that this year I'd do this thing that I'm going to call Blogmas Snaps. Basically I'm combining Blogmas (blogging every day til Christmas) and The 30 Day Snap that Louise, aka Sprinkle of Glitter, did last year in June. I know I don't blog all that often, so I thought this could be a fun way to blog more and get into the festive spirit! Basically, from today until the 25th, I will be sharing a little picture that I've taken with my iPhone 4 every day and telling you a little bit about it. These should be nice little snippets of my life to look back on later.

Today's snap is of Michael Buble's Christmas album. I'm sure you've heard about this album before. I've seen it on the iTunes charts for years during the holiday season and finally bought it last year. It's definitely become one of my favorite Christmas albums... I love his voice. A couple songs that I adore from the album are "Cold December Night" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."

Do you own this album too? If you do, what songs do you love on it?

Alrighty, that's it for today. I think it'd be so cool if you did this with me! If you don't have a blog, then post your snaps on Instagram or Twitter. Tag me and use #BlogmasSnaps so I can see them! See ya tomorrow! :)

OOTD | Autumnal Colors

Hi World!

Last Sunday, I wore this outfit. Again, simple, but this time, with seasonal colors! I thought it looked really autumnal and I'd like to share it with you in this quick little post. I try to make the best out of a season that doesn't exist where I live. This week has actually been fairly cold, but apparently we're going back to sunny SoCal weather next week. *sighs* Sorry if OOTDs aren't what float your boat, I'll be sure to blog about other things soon.

Here it is! Clearly, I was very happy in this outfit.

Yup, breaking out them poses again. What's down there, Lexx?

Oh. Something in the sky too?

Smile :)

Shirt - Kohl's

Pants - I don't remember. Sorry!

Shoes - Kohl's

OOTD | Halloween 2014

Hi World!

Long time, no... read? Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I've been preoccupied with family weddings *cheers* and the dreaded college applications *cries and dies*. Maybe I'll talk about those stresses another time, but today I'm going to do a belated Halloween post.

This year, I was Bruce Banner. Ya know, the Hulk when he's not the Hulk? Originally, my group of friends were going to do a group costume and collectively assemble as the Avengers (which woulda been SO COOL), but unfortunately, that didn't come to pass due to costume complications.

So here's the costume! It's super simple and pretty ambiguous (I'll get to this later) for a costume, but I thought it looked similar enough to Mr. Banner. I just wore a purple dress shirt, brown pants, and those shoes that I wore on my first day of school this year. Also, do you like the multicolored pumpkin-bucket things on the fence?

Here's me with a little Halloween banner (Bruce BANNER! Haha, get it? No? 'Kay moving on then) that we also had on our gate. Ain't it cute?

Oh, yeah. If you hadn't noticed from the other picture, I was wearing some glasses. They're actually 3D glasses with the lens knocked out. I don't quite need real glasses yet, but I sure had fun playing around with the fake ones!

Alright, going back to that costume ambiguity thing... my dad basically told me the night before that no one would ever know who I was because the costume looked so generic. So, as a result, I made a little name tag to clear things up!

Halloween this year was really different than past years. I didn't go trick-or-treating with my siblings. In fact, only one person in my family, my sister, actually did this year. This meant less candy. But that's okay cuz she got a lot and we're still working on her bag! Side note: my favorite candies when I would go trick-or-treating were Kit Kats, Snickers, and Twix. Also, I got really really excited when I got those Life Saver gummies. I'm not a hard candy kinda guy. I like my gummies and my chocolate.

This year, I went with two of my good friends to The Haunted Trails in Balboa Park. I am a wimp, so I was initially petrified at the thought. But, 'twas the season to be scared right? Plus, I knew I'd have fun with my friends. Lemme tell ya though, the planning leading up to this was a nightmare. Anywho, Haunted Trails is essentially, well, a trail. It's a trail of mini haunted houses where people try to scare you. One of the little house had a strobe light that was discombobulating more than anything. People seemed to teleport and frighten you. Not a fan. Another was this school bus that you had to walk through with clowns sitting in every row... and you didn't know which one was real and which was not. So they jumped out at you at random times and it was... quite the experience *shudders*. My friend kinda clawed at the back of my shirt as she walked through it with me. There were also chainsaws at the last house. Fun times. I didn't take any pictures as I was a little busy being terrified. Haha.

I admit that Haunted Trails wasn't as scary as I thought it was gunna be. I put myself into a calm, collected mindset that would make sure I didn't produce any inhuman sounds as I walked through the trail. Mentally singing some T-Swizzle helped too (I "Shook It Off" if you will... hehe). I was first the whole time (thanks friends), but it wasn't all bad. My other friend kept cracking jokes, which made things easier. I will say there were moments where I needed to hold a hand... and I did.

After Haunted Trails, me and my two friends wandered the city area next to Balboa Park. We mindlessly explored the streets as we tried to find somewhere to eat. Eventually we made it to Pinkberry and I had some pumpkin froyo. So seasonal.

I'll be sure to blog more this month because it's kinda the start of the holiday season! So exciting! Though, has anyone else noticed that Christmas seemed to start like a month earlier this year? My local supermarket plaza already has ribbons and things wrapped around their light posts! Anywho, the holiday season seems to be very bloggable. At least for some of my favorite bloggers and vloggers. They've been very active lately, which makes me happy.

How was your Halloween? Did ya do anything fun? Or scary? Lemme know down below.

Thanks for reading!
