Valentine's Day Fun!

I think Valentine's Day gets a bad rap. I think it's one of the sweeter holidays. Although I do understand the anger geared toward the holiday (How to perfect the VA-VA-VOOM hair, for example...) Despite that, there's some cute features from Yahoo, Tumblr, and Facebook that I found really cute... so I'm going to share those. :)

• Amazing heart-shaped wonders of the world, via Yahoo. The picture above? Yeah, it came from that. 
• Pavlova Hearts with Chantilly Cream Recipe-- Even if you don't make them, the pictures of these pavlova and the raspberries are so good! Definitely something any food photographer would enjoy! 
• 14 Charitable ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day-- So many great ideas here, and they're all valentine's day related. Perfection! :)
• This has little to do with Valentine's Day, but I had to share it. Jim Halpert's cute way to wake up his wife Pam. (This will have you in stitches!) 
• I've seen a couple of TV Show related valentine's floating around the web but these Arrested Development ones are the best!
• Also: if someone wants to give me a valentine, can you make them these ones? 

Enjoy Valentine's Day everyone! I know I'll enjoy it! (at work. hahahaha)

The Best of: 365 Challenge Part 1

Remember I mentioned how I wanted to do the 365 photo challenge? At first I thought of posting a picture a day here on this blog, but sometimes I felt like I didn't have anything to share with that image, and it seemed like a waste of space. But then there were a couple of pictures that I just wanted to share so badly, but I felt that they needed a bit more form than just "Here's a cool picture I took! Toodle--loo!" Thus, this post was born. I'll try to make a "Best of" post for my favorite 365 pictures and post them here together. It'll be fun, and my photos won't feel as lonely. (Do photos feel lonely?)

More to come soon, I'm sure!

My Parents are literally the Best.

I took a small hiatus from blogging these past two weeks mainly because I'm getting adjusted to campus life again! A lot of it was getting used to my schedule and my classes, but this semester I've also started a job, which has been hard to get used to.
Currently my schedule looks like this:

It doesn't look horrific right?
The funny story about this picture is that my schedule is so big that it can't actually fit in the screen shot. Hah.
But I am not here to complain about that!
Last week, I just had a bunch of series of misfortunes starting from forgetting my lab notebook at home for my biology lab to ending with my beloved bag from freshmen year breaking. The first things didn't phase me, but towards the end of the week, after misfortune after misfortune started piling up, I started getting annoyed and a bit down.
But I am not here to complain about that either!
My mom and dad have always been super supportive of me, from every decision I've ever made to just listening as I ranted about a really tough orgo question on my homework. They're level headed and calm, and I appreciate everything they do so much.
This week, after I mentioned my beloved bags unfortunate demise, my dad forwarded me a receipt of a replacement bag that my mom chose out. It's perfect, and basically everything I needed in a bag. Here's a picture:

The craziest thing about it is that I didn't even ask about getting a replacement bag, they just went ahead and ordered me one.
I usually gush about my parents all the time to my friends, but I think it's not enough.
My parents are literally the best. <3
