Waiting... for Christmas! Just 8 days away now!
Reading... Crazy Rich Asians. I will finish this book one of these days.
Watching... Korean drama The Healer with Ji Chang Wook.
Listening... to Royal Pirates awesome rock cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You.
Eating... savory oatmeal sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch.
Drinking... loads of tea and boricha.
Cooking... spicy stews. A favorite when it's cold.
Obsessed... with my new iPhone 6 (an early Xmas present from my husband). I was using a flip phone last year.
Wearing... a baseball tee and jeans.
Coveting... this lens.
Planning... to visit a few museums during the holiday break.
Admiring... all the pretty holiday decor around the city.
Bookmarking... a few things I might want to pick up in the after Christmas sales.
Hoping... for a mild winter.
We were a little late putting up our Christmas decorations this year. We don't really do it up but it's nice to have a few holiday touches around the house. Here is my Christmas tree. Yes it's pink.
Don't miss out on this fun candle gift set giveaway!
What's up with you?

Love the Christmas tree! I've been drinking a lot of tea and eating a lot of oatmeal as well, but it's cinnamon raisin flavor. I need to give the savory one a try, it sounds delicious. I love anything with a fried egg and a little bit of soy sauce on top :)
Morning Rowena! Oh, Im obsessed with that song every year at Christmas too, lol! I remember your oatmeal and always curious to try it! Your hubby has been so sweet, iPhone 6 is onto my wishlist too! Your pink tree is way too girly and sweet dear, hope you enjoy this time at the best!:) Hugs! xo
You are really excited about Christmas! I still can't realize it's only a week till it comes! I have the feeling it's month away, haha. This song is nice, I'm going to add it to my favourites! Currently I'm coveting new lens too. Congrats on the new iPhone! What do you think? Is it nicer than iPhone 5S? The pink Christmas tree is really cute and stylish! As what's up with me... I go out every night and don't have time to decorate the Christmas tree, so my dad did it last night (shame on me...). But I feel good, I love going out with friends having good times together. Waiting for the holidays to get some extra sleep and catch up with my family. Have a lovely day, Rowena! xo
Mariah Christmas song I love your stocking is so cute.
Hey Rowena, did you sew that stockings yourself? Totally cool! xoxo
Luxury Haven
Aw, how cool, your own personalized Christmas stocking! So boricha huh? What is that? I'm gonna google it...
i would love to see a city all decked out for the holidays, like nyc! glad i'm not the only one who was late this year decorating! :)
That tree is awesome, Rowena! :D And I should really get my hands on that Crazy Rich Asians....
Love Christmas decor around town, makes it look so pretty :D

Well, I still haven't done all the Christmas decorating...I've made some Christmas decorations but I still have got to put up my Christmas tree and all...I've been reading a lot lately and been interviewing like crazy, with no result so far but at least I learned how to show up uninvited and look cool while I'm trying to see if there will be any job openings in the future...I think I'm getting to a point when it is not even stressful anymore.

Love it. I was just working on my currently list yesterday.
Your pink tree is precious btw.
love your pink tree btw...and I jumper from that post to another one which now I realize might be a bit older but still what I said is still relevant I think.
Great gift from the hubby. Sounds like you're definitely in the Christmas spirit. I am too, and so excited. Now. all i want to do is be by the fireplace and drink lots of hot beverages. :) Enjoy the rest of your week Rowena.

I'm currently also into drinking lots of tea!
Hi Rowena, omg you already have the best gift. I wish I had the new i-phone too. We don't put up christmas decorations too. Just a little bit here and there. We need a new lens too. Sadly I'm not feeling well right now and I hope I'll be healthy on Christmas. Wish you a wonderful day sweetheart!

so pretty list :)
I'm also loving holiday decor around the city!

Is it already a 6 for iPhone???!! Boy, I am behind on technology... x
Yay. I just love the holidays.
How are you making your savory oatmeal? I am a fan of oatmeal, have not done savory yet. Hope you have a most wonderful holiday. Mine is very low key with my Mom going in a nursing home 2 months ago. Things are still very crazy, and I usually love Christmas, but with her not home, it just feels different. I so enjoy reading your blog, and look forward to more in 2015!

Oh my gosh I just clicked through to your chirstmas tree and it is so amazing! I can totally see that being your tree, Rowena! Also, I am totally with you on the tea drinking--I feel like there is nothing better to do in this weather!

Aww I love your stocking! I hope that you get to your museums and cook lots of spicy stews! I may just visit a museum on Christmas and start a new tradition with the little one.
Ooh and yay for Boxing day and other sales!

Loving the sound of your Christmas Rowena. I have to switch to the iPhone 6. I have the 4S LOL Fabulous present from your husband. Going to the museums in NY sounds awesome. It's so pretty for the holidays. I'm about to see if there's anything I want so I'll be ready for the even bigger sales. As of the moment, I'm content.

crazy rich asians is my favorite!! You can probably tell from how I blogged about it a few times haha

you MUST finish the book! such an easy read. I can't wait for that movie to finish production. So many movies I'm looking forward to thanks to you :)
merry (early) christmas rowena!!
Andrea
It is so good. Please everyone read Crazy Rich Asians and then come find me to talk about it. I love it! @hadsterific everywhere :)
So so good Jane. Please read it and post your thoughts on your blog. Following you now XD
It's interesting, hilarious, touching, and fun. I'm kind of obsessed with it. :)
Andrea, I knew you would pop up to say something about CRA :) <3 <3
i love stews and soups. you are right - perfect for cold weather! cute christmas tree! one thing i dislike about our tree (douglas fir, i think) is that it is dense with so many branches that you can't really "hang" your ornaments!
