Emerald 17-5641 Pantone Color of the Year, 2013

Oh yes, since the last quarter of the year I have been looking forward to what will be Pantone color for 2013.  I am just so happy to know it's Emerald Green! I love the color because it's just so vibrant.  It is also my birthstone - emerald. :)

I am so inspired for 2013, it brings me so much positive vibes, positive emotions.   The coming of a new year (the end of the calendar year and the beginning of a new one as well as my birthday) are always significant for me.  They always excite me and I am always enthusiastic welcoming them.  But 2013 is something different, the excitement is more pronounced and I just can't wait to start the new year.

This is not yet my year-end post, haha, so let me just focus on Emerald Green, my favorite shade of green. I really love this color together with orange, yellow, and red.

Oh so many things I want to do with Emerald Green. 

What a perfect timing, I was thinking of what color to repaint our cabinets. Green is it! Look...

This is just right for us.  We have similar kitchen cabinets.  I got this image from Carolyn Gavin's pinterest.

For the new year, I wanted white pants and something reddish as top as it is our tradition to wear something read on NYE.  But this looks great.

White button down shirt tucked in an emerald green pants. It just looks so neat and put together. I love the belt and the ring too.  Image from visualizeus. 

Wouldn't it be nice if I have this too, or something similar to this.

It could go well with something red or white in my outfit. I love this Balenciaga bag. Image from inofashion.com.

I may be wearing this kind of dress in my next corporate affair or any other evening formal affair. Why not?

Though this was categorized as a bridesmaid dress, I'd still wear something like this in a formal affair. I love it! Image from Magic Dress UK.

I love high heels and I surely will buy myself one in emerald green like this one.

I can't wait to have this! Image from Natasha Carter's pinterest.

Can the look be complete without the glam nails?

Yes, I'll welcome the new year with emerald green nails...after all the cooking is done, haha. Image from The Swatchaholic.

There will be a part 2 of my emerald green wants. I want to have emerald green bedding sets, plates and cups, accessories, ipad case, etcetera.

In the mean time, let me collect my thoughts for the coming wonderful, prosperous, healthier, and everything great 2013! Thank You, God, for all your provisions.

Hello Kitty, Kitty, Kitty...

I dropped off my daughter yesterday at SM The Block for a film showing required by their school.  A few weeks before there was a letter from the school administration encouraging parents to see the film with the children.  I was having some small talk with a co-parent during our kids' Intramurals Week.  I was able to ask if she will go.  She said no more, she'll just let her daughter go with her classmates.  Come to think of it, yes, I should just let my daughter watch with the whole class. I asked her if the parents of her classmates would come.  Nobody will come.

It's a good movie to watch as it is about bullying, Larong Bata.  But looking at it, there were no parents when I brought my daughter at the cinema.  It's a film showing for the school's students.  It would have been awkward if I was the only parent there.

Anyway, I waited for my daughter at the mall. I treasured this "me time".  I first stayed at Jollibee for breakfast.  I stayed there for an hour.  My gym will not open until 10 in the morning.

I had my pancakes with sausage and coffee.  It was a good pair.  I just wanted my pancakes to be a little more brown.  This reminds me of Pancake's pancake/sausage medley. This is a lot cheaper though at P65.

Jollibee was getting crowded so I transferred to Starbucks.  I was looking forward to this for my sticker (for the planner in case you don't know)! Haha, shallow bliss. I am not even sure if I will complete them all. Since I'll be at Starbucks, let me get my sticker.  I already had coffee so I ordered for a hot caffe mocha which I really love and a banana bread.

Pleasant surprise is the stub for the newly opened Starbucks at The Block.  It's like buy one, get one until the end of December. I will definitely use it.

Finally it's 30 minutes after 10.  My daughter and her friends went to Chatime for their milk tea while I stayed at Starbucks.  My daughter texted me that they would take their lunch.  I told her to just take their lunch at KFC.  I proceeded to Fitness First and kill time there until my daughter finish her lunch.  They went around the mall some more. I let her.  I know she wants to be with her friends and go malling.  I just text her once in a while.

Until finally they were done.  We went around the Hello Kitty exhibit at The Block.  The Hello Kitty houses are really cute. :)

Now I'm thinking if I will be ordering for a Hello Kitty cake for the holidays.  It's so dainty.

This ipad case is so dainty for me but I find it pretty.

We both found the boots and the traveling bag really adorable. Ironically, my daughter isn't too fond of the Hello Kitty Vans.

We ended the day by going to the grocery but of course.

Another Saturday well spent with my daughter by just hanging.  We won't be going anywhere this long weekend because she has to prepare for their mastery examinations this coming week.
