return of summer

im a big fan of 0 calorie beverages! mostly because i cant stand overly sweet drinks and it just seems unfair to have to waste 200+ calories on something that doesnt even fill me up, and only makes me more thirsty.

i decided to try 0 water today, since the bottle is so pretty and im a big sucker for nice packaging design. (i save the little cartons that they package makeup in...) it takes a little getting used to, since i prefer any drink with flavor to be carbonated, i loooove selzter and different flavored selzter, but 0 water is not bad. the mango orange flavor is not too overpowering, and you dont get stuck with the icky corn-syrupy goop in your throat after each sip. i can see myself drinking this... but it does make me crave fanta!

just as i've gotten used to wearing all my fall clothes, nyc gets a twist of 80 degree weather. its been difficult these past 2 days, trying to dress comfortably, because its around 60 in the morning when i head to work and 80 when i head home. the 20 degree difference absolutely kills me and im either freezing cold or sweating up a storm. yuck. on the brighter side, hopefully this warmer weather (i hear it will actually cool down a lot tomorrow, sucks!) will get me in gear for my upcoming trip to taiwan! woohoo!

im excited, and a little scared, because most of my mom's side of the family is there and i havent seen them in years! my cousin is getting married, so that will be exciting, and ive never been to a wedding before!

i havent started packing and i should, because the weather there is going to be a helluva lot warmer than it is here, which will make it a bit trickier, since i gotta dig up (and try to find) all my summer clothes. which means -- the dresses, skirts, and sandals return! *sigh* i had been so excited about all my f/w clothes...

anyone out there a fan of puella stuff? this dress is so cute, and i want to get it (it'll be easy to summer and winter-ize it) but im not sure how they fit!

it looks real cute on this girl:
