Today I ....

...am relaxing. For some reason, I am super tired. Perhaps because I only slept like 5 hours? Anywhoddle, I'm in bed with my computer and my music on, this song came up on my playlist and I remembered how much I've always liked it. Here's the video and the lyrics.



Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby

Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal

I can feel too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up
When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo, I'm putting it down.

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message
to show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
But to tell truth, I really never knew
T'll I met you... See I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it

My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.

Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
Whatever tickles your fancy
Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy
So sexy....almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
and as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
and a thank you miss.

come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
so come and dance with me
uhhhhh ha uhhh ha

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
uhhhhhh ha uhhhhhh ha
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me

Avatar...The Experience


I don't even know where to start. The story, the effects, the everything!! This movie WAS beyond amazing. Definitely exceeded expectations. It's perfect. I think it has something for adults, men, kids [by adults I mean women and by men, older kids]. It's romantic, yet still action packed. I loved it!!!!! It was definitely worth the $30+ that it cost to see it on Imax 3D and whatnot. The bond with nature, the respect, OMG. Their culture, fascinating. I also loved how she flew the thing [picture #4].

I'm not a fan of owning movies, but this one, I want it.

PS: I saw Up in the Air and it DOES NOT stand a chance against this one. I'm even surprised it got nominated for a Golden Globe. Speaking of, I can't wait for the Academy nominations to go public.

PPS: New poll up, please vote!!!! =)

All pictures from here and here.

Ambar's Thoughts Covers The Golden Globes part 2

What was promised is my debt..

I know the GG's were literally ages ago [at least in the movie industry] but I just couldn't fathom to post this pictures due to their fugliness.

In no particular order:


Annna Kendrick in Marchesa. Ok, I'm not a big fan of her, but still this dress is UGLY. It looks like some old curtains paired with an antique wedding dress or something.


Christina Hendricks in Siriano. The dress is not too bad here, what I don't know what's worse is the color of her hair, the color of the dress or the color of her skin!


Diane Kruger in Christian Lacroix. Such beauty... wasted! I really hate it from head to toe, I still like her though.


Drew Barrymore in [Atelier] Versace. The dress is OK except for the Christmas wreaths hanging from it.


Julianne Moore in Balenciaga. Might as well have worn a snuggie.


Kristin Bell in Jasmine di Milo. This dress is not bad at ALL. It's just HORRIBLE for the occassion.


Leona Lewis wearing Roberto Cavalli. What's.with.all.the.wrinkles??????? It looks sloppy, better said it makes YOU look sloppy. F.


Maggie Gyllenhaal in [RM] Roland Mouret. WTF? I hate the fabric, not to mention the color.


Nicole Kidman wearing Nina Ricci. You can't even tell where her skin ends and the dress begins. And this one also looks like frikin old curtains. Again, such beauty... wasted!

And last but definitely not least...

Tina Fey in Zac Posen. Thank God she's funny otherwise I would cross her off my list. What.was.she.thinking????

Added: See the dresses that I did like here and here.

What am I wearing?







WOW!! I bought this dress ages ago, and I wore it at least 3 different times before finally taking pictures with it on. Again, another outfit for work. On the pictures I'm wearing both heels and flat boots. Regardless, that dress was a great buy. I got compliments, crazies asking me where I got it, what size it is [can you believe that??] it's medium btw.

I paired it with my H n' M belt that I absolutely adore (I bought it on the same shopping trip), my MK watch that the honey got me, and all my studded bangles, which also looked great with the boots, because they have studs. Also, that brown and navy combination is perfect!!! I can't wait to mix more outfits like that.

PS: I think my hair was really dirty this day. EEW.

PPS: I put up a new poll over on the top of the right sidebar, please vote :)

PPPS: Thanks to all of you who voted on the last one.

Kisses, XOXO

I Need Help...

..your help!! I'm trying to find someone to custom design my blog. And I'm at zero, zip, nada.



Even though I love the current design, [God knows I do], it's not unique, and that drives me a little crazy, so please, PLEAAAASSSEEE let me know of any blog designers that you know, or maybe somebody you've worked with before. I do realize that I need to pay for this, but the few sites I found that I liked are booked until like mid May.. WTFH?!?!?!?! I sorta need it now. So just drop me a comment, e-mail, tweet, whatev, just HELP ME PLEASE.

Meanwhile, I'll be anxious like this...



Pictures from here and here.

Valentine's Day Movie

Have you seen the cast? It's just like He's Just Not That Into You on steroids. I bet that 90% of the budget of the movie was just to pay the actors, I mean common people!!!! Really?



There's only 14 of them in here.

The cast:

1. Jessica Alba
2. Kathy Bates
3. Jessica Biel
4. Bradley Cooper
5. Eric Dane
6. Patrick Dempsey
7. Hector Elizondo
8. Jamie Foxx
9. Jennifer Garner
10. Topher Grace
11. Anne Hathaway
12. Ashton Kutcher
13. Queen Latifah
14. Taylor Lautner
15. George Lopez
16. Shirley McLaine
17. Emma Roberts
18. Julia Roberts
19. Taylor Swift
20. Carter Jenkins


Unless the movie lasts for 10 hours, everybody gets 2 minutes on the screen. Anywhoz, I always thought that the movie's lead actors were the Taylors, because they got a lot of press while filming it and I really hadn't heard of EVERYBODY else that's on the movie until the other day. It looks pseudo interesting, and I will go see it. But I wonder how are they going to intertwine everybody's characters to form 1 sole movie. What do you think about that?

PS: I just added some buttons last night to the blog. If I forgot you, or you wished to be added (or removed), please let me know.

My Birthday Part II

This is the second part to this story.

On the actual day of my birthday I woke up to this:



Yes I know they're just balloons, but like I said, the honey's not that type of guy. So this was the perfect beginning to the perfect day. PS: today, January 25th the balloons are still on that door. Talk about damn quality balloons!! LOL Ok, ok back to my bday. The honey had surprised me [he tends to do that] with reservations to a restaurant that we had passes a few times in downtown and that he knew I was dying to try.

He e-mailed me the reservation confirmation that they had sent him. This was on December 23rd during the day, which meant... 1) I started screaming at work... 2) I needed an outfit. Thankfully I didn't close (the store) that day because it would have meant no shopping for me. So being that I hate don't like shopping when it's crowded, and this was the day before Christmas Eve, I was a bit stressed. I ran down to the forever loyal, Forever 21, looked around, grabbed a dress, tried it on and $23 later I had my bday outfit.




I spent the day pampering myself, and by that I mean I went to get a pedi. LOL I needed it...badly! My feet hurt like crazy from the long hours at work, plus I was going to wear open toe shoes, which I hadn't done in forev, so I went there. I basically didn't do much for the rest of the day, not that I remember at least. I remember receiving one amazing gift, but I'll share those deets on another post.


Duck face for you.

I really didn't go all out with my outtie. I barely had any makeup on and my hair was just wet from the shower. I used some accessories that I had from a previous occasion [a formal ball] and my shoes were actually a birthday gift from when I turned 20. I love those shoes!!!!! Just wish they were a bit more comfy.





Here we are at the restaurant, the food was ah-ma-ZING!!!! The service, well not so much. We still had the best time EVER, I seriously love this guy, my birthday was AMAZING!! [Ok, for the people that don't know me or are new around here, I'm a big grumpy grinch, so he reached a milestone right there]. After returning home, I can't remember if we watched a movie or not, but rumor has it that I fell asleep singing this song...



So there you have it, my amazing, over.the.top, did.I.say.amazing birthday. Look for the next post on what happened on Christmas day...

PS: Thanks to all of you guys for the bday wishes that I got, a million thanks!

Wouldn't hurt if my keyboard turned into this.


Doesn't apply to me, but still very cute.

Chocolate kisses to everybody, XO and remember that you have until tomorrow to enter my giveaway, don't miss out!

My Birthday Part I

Almost a month after, but hey, I've been a busy girl. So this is the first part of my birthday, which was on Christmas Eve. Why first part?? Well, because my family has a tradition of celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and such things the day before, after 12:00 am. So it's technically the day of your birthday, but well, not yet. Understand?

So this was December 23 after midnight. I had work, the huns picked me up, and after we arrived home he suprised me wih this.





Now, don't get me wrong he's very romantic, but not your typical I-buy-you-flowers-and-chocolates-all-the-time type of guy. So to be surprised with this was already FRIKIN AWESOME, also cause I L O V E chocolate. As you can tell I had already eaten most some of it before I could stop to take a picture.

After all this amazingness, he let me open one present, from the three that belonged to me under the tree. Note: This is another family tradition. We put the the gifts under the tree as soon as they're ready. So basically, the tree has gifts under it for a month. And you walk by it 10 times a day without being able to open them = TORTURE. I chose the smaller box, well because it had bells on it.



Crappy, crappy pictures due to the anxiety excitement.


OMG!! I believe that at this point, I had tears in my eyes.

The watch is beyond beautiful. Very, very classy yet feminine and OMG awesome. I have the rest of my birthday story coming up next week, stay tuned...

Kisses and have a fun weekend, if you're being flooded like me, be safe [geez, I'm so Edward].

Tutorial: How to Change Your Blogger Blog to a 3 Column Layout

You decided that you wanted a three column layout instead of a two column one. And here's how to do it. Disclaimer: I'm by no means an expert on the subject but I try to explain the easiest way possible.

Let's get to work... it's easier if you decide to do this early on your blog career? because that way you have less stuff on your HTML code [well hopefully anyways].

Your template should be Minima for this to work easier. If you need to change it here's how:

Go to your Dashboard and click on the Layout tab.



Now go the Pick New Template tab.



Choose Minima, it's usually the first one.


Save your template.



Now go to the Edit HTML tab.



Here's where the actual work begins, so pay close attention. You might want to use the find feature of your browser, you do this by hitting the keys Ctrl + F on your keyboard and you shall get a little search bar on your page. Something like this:



Mine is always located at the bottom, but it depends on what browser you use. What you need to find is this:

#sidebar-wrapper { width: 220px; float: right; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ }

Copy the entire section and paste it directly below itself. Now we need to change the elements that I highlighted in deep purple.

#left-sidebar-wrapper

float: left 

Scroll up until you see this part of the code:

#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
margin-left: 25px;
float: $startSide;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden;  /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float*/
}

Add the words that you see in deep purple.

Now we have to readjust some numbers. On your HTML code, change the numbers to the ones I highlighted in deep purple below:


#outer-wrapper {
  width: 880px;
  margin:0 auto;
  padding:10px;
  text-align:$startSide;
  font: $bodyfont;
  }

#main-wrapper {
  width: 425px;
margin-left: 25px;
  float: $startSide;
  word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
  overflow: hidden;     /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
  }

#sidebar-wrapper {
  width: 200px;
  float: $endSide;
  word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
  overflow: hidden;      /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}
#left-sidebar-wrapper { width: 200px; float: left; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ }

Now, find this <div i d ='main-wrapper'> on your find box and paste the following code exactly above it.

<div id='left-sidebar-wrapper'> <b:section class='sidebar' id='left-sidebar' preferred='yes'/> </div>

We're almost done, the only thing that you need to do now is adjust the size of your header so that it is the same width as your page. Find this section of your HTML code and change the numbers to the ones I highlighted in deep purple. Note: If you use 0px you will not have the border lines around your header.


#header-wrapper {
  width:860px;
  margin:0 auto 10px;
  border:0px solid $bordercolor;
  }

#header-inner {
  background-position: center;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

#header {
  margin: 5px;
  border: 0px solid $bordercolor;
  text-align: center;
  color:$pagetitlecolor;


Save your template.

Now you can go to your layout tab and drag some of your page elements onto your left sidebar.


PS: Here are some links where you can fins cute backgrounds for three column layouts.
