Pure, Innocent, Unconditionally...

I sometimes wish that I could go back to a time in my life where I didn't know of heartbreak, pain, suffering or struggle. The time where everything was pure, innocent and easy.  I've noticed that as you grow as a person it's the hard things that shape you into the person you'll ultimately become, but I sometimes wish that learning and growing wasn't this hard.  I've come to appreciate the hard times and become thankful for the good times.  How nice would it be to go back to the time where you were pure, innocent and could love unconditionally?

Laughter Cures...

I love this quote so much, it states the most important quality that I look for in people that I surround myself with. The world needs more laughter, and luckily for me I have people in my life that make me laugh every single day. I have some of the best friends in the world and although some of them are thousands of miles away, I still feel their love and light with me wherever I go.  What brought on this sentimental post you might wonder....well, my special someone sent me 4 videos of him hanging out with our best friends in Japan and it just brought back memories of my trip to Japan last year. The fun, laid back days and the wild and crazy nights. I miss them all terribly and I wish that things were different and that they were with me all the time, but it's true what they say....absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

On another note, I finally received something in the mail that I wasn't expecting and it was from my second mother. I had my eye on this watch for the longest and I was going to buy it last week, but luckily I didn't! 

I love love love it! 

On that note, I hope that each and everyone of you have people in your life that not only encourage you to laugh and be happy, but are participating in making that happen for you!

Until next time~

Happy Girls Are The Prettiest Girls...

"I believe in pink. 
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. 
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.  
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles"
Audrey Hepburn

Inspire...

It's been a while since I've posted, things have been up and down. I've been hanging out more and trying to have fun while my bestie is here, but sometimes crazy thoughts creep in out of nowhere. I'm not going to elaborate on these things, because this post is just about some of my favorite inspirational quotes. I hope they inspire you.

Friends With Benefits

Get your minds out of the gutter! This is a movie that Yuta and I watched the other day and I have to say that if you have guy friends... definitely watch this movie with them. It makes for hilarious conversations and maybe even some awkward moments! If you haven't heard of this movie before here is the synopsis:

Jamie (Mila Kunis) is a New York head-hunter trying to sign Los Angeles-based Dylan (Justin Timberlake) for her client. When he takes the job and makes the move, they quickly become friends. Their friendship turns into a friendship with benefits, but with Jamie's emotionally damaged past and Dylan's history of being emotionally unavailable, they have to try to not fall for each other the way Hollywood romantic comedies dictate.Written by napierslogs

Jamie and Dylan, on opposite coasts, break up with their lovers: each separately vows to stay out of emotional entanglements. So when Jamie recruits Dylan to run GQ's art department in NYC - and she's the only person he knows in Manhattan - they decide to be friends with sexual benefits. It works well until Jamie meets a pediatric cardiologist who just might be a match, and Dylan invites her to come home with him to LA for Thanksgiving. He may be jealous of the doc, she may be sending new vibes in Dylan's direction, but can either see the signals? And, is it inevitable that life imitates art?

I thought it was a really fun movie, with some really funny quotes and some real life questions that come up when you have "that" friend and you wonder if it could ever be non-complicated. Of course, that never works, but it doesn't stop people from trying to separate sex from emotions, which is where the interesting conversations with your male friends come in. Yuta seems to think that it's possible for a male and female who are friends to have a sexual relationship with no strings attached(another movie we watched). I don't agree with him. I think that eventually it'll become harder to hide the fact that underneath it all, it is natural for some feelings to start to develop, and that realization can come from the male or the female. I definitely don't think that all women are incapable of separation of sex and emotions, but I do believe that it's harder for some of us.

Here are some quotes I thought were funny from the movie:

Dylan: "Why do women think the only way to get a man to do what they want is to manipulate him?"
Jamie: "History, personal experience, romantic comedies"
-soooooo true-

Jamie: "No emotions, just sex"
Dylan: "I guess we should just start"
Jamie: "Bedroom:"
Dylan: "What's wrong with the couch?"
Jamie: "The bedroom has better light, and since we're just friends I don't have to be insecure about my body."
Dylan: "Come on, you're beautiful, you have nothing to..."
Jamie: "No no no no no! That sounds emotionally supportive...lock that down!"
Dylan: "Your ass is a little bony."
Jamie: "Much better."
-lmao I loved Jamie, she shut the emotions down and went straight to business!-


Lorna: "So my daughter is just your slam piece?"
Dylan: "No, uh."
Lorna: "Just kidding - slam away!"
-haha, Jamie's mom was hilarious, she was dealing with her own men issues, which is part of the reason Jamie is so emotionally damaged-

Dylan (to Jamie): "Is it your special time? They have an app for that. No wait...." (looks at phone) "No. you're good to go"
-I think I died from laughing, because he literally took his iphone and waved it around her, and then Yuta asks "is there really an app for that?" lmao!-



Overall, it was a good movie. It had most of what I look for in rom-com movies: wit, characters I can relate to, topics that I can relate to and fun. I would love to hear another males opinion when it comes to friends with benefits....what do you think?
