"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."

wide awake



Around 3 AM the buzz of my cell phone pulled me from sleep -- it was an email notification that somebody had commented on my last blog post. Samar wrote, "hey why are you not updating your blog............i miss you and your day zero project.... hearts from pakistan". How sweet is that??? I'm completely touched.

I tried to go back to sleep after reading that but I spent the next two hours tossing and turning and so, I finally gave up on life and decided to update this here blog.

The truth is that I have not been completing goals for my Day Zero Project. Why, I don't know... busy schedule, faded interest, lack of motivation. Actually, I haven't even been reading blogs, which used to be one of my favorite past times (wow I am so cool hahhaha); this is probably the first time I've opened my computer in weeks. I usually get my internet fix from my phone and have been more into "mobile" blogging, which ranges from tweeting to tumblring to instagramming.
You should totally follow my instragram, btw: cellababee :)

I looked back at my Project list and realized I accomplished two goals and forgot to cross them off! Firstly, I accomplished goal:

#060: Be in the audience at the taping of a TV show




which I told you about here but didn't realize that was on my list!!! It was anticlimactic, though, David Letterman is suuuuuper boring. I also accomplished goal:

#037: Go to a club in Vegas

Yayyyyy! I went in March for the first time and had so much fun!!!! Here is some photographical evidence:

Oh, the memories :) Seriously can't wait to go back. Anyway, back to the task at hand. I have almost two months before my Day Zero Project ends (On July 22) so maybe I can accomplish at least a few more goals? What do you think? Which ones should I try to do??? There are 32 left...

And with that, here are some of my instragrams, which can explain my absence from the blogosphere:
