🌈Happy 1st Day of School!🌅
Before this Fall term and my Birthday, I was able to travel for my recent family reunion!
☼#SundayFunDay just what I need: brief breather from my doctoral dissertation #FreshAir #AllTheGolfBallsICanHit #UnclesBackyard = #BombDotComb #BirthdayTrip2015 #RnR #ReyesReunion + #SelfieSunday “Ate” Elaine at “Auntie” Mary Jean a.k.a. “Tita” Inday! Yes, I’m older than my gorgeous aunt & about to be more w/my bday next wkend! #Countdown2theBiG #MagandaKaTalaga #SundaySelfie #WorkingOnMySwing #GoingGreen #GoingWithTheFlow #ChillaxinMellow #DISPObustAFlow🌞🌼🌻🌅⛳️ 🎓💣👑💁🏻
If you’re a passenger on the road🚙 or in the 🌌air, my tip would be to tote👜 yourself with
- 🎥Films (saved on your digital device or DVDs💽 if you have a portable 📻player)
- 👓Literature (electronic📳 or in 📇print)
- 🚘Travel🚗 💞workouts💓 (do with what you got or follow along videos)
Regardless of my so-called 🌴R&R, as a mad 🔭scientist🔬 I couldn’t resist bringing 💼study📖 materials!
While many may be 🚢traveling🚤 around Labor Day since the 🌼summer-to-school🍎 transition, I’m taking every single off day to work on my 💻dissertation📇 ~ which was the story of my life throughout the second 1/2 of this past 🌿summer. Now that the we’re back into the swing, I’ve resumed teaching🎓 and really need to set aside extra time exclusively for my 📜paper…
Before returning to the college🏤 for 🍁fall🍂 term, my parents flew✈️ me to visit family as my 🎈🎁💝🎂birthday🎆🎇🎊🎉 trip! Despite needing a brief 🌴vacay getaway, I still reviewed👓 and revised✒️ my draft📝 every single day, whether in flight🚁 or during down time.
However, I still had plenty of entertainment🎬 on my 📱iPhone, laptop and hard copy📚 to keep me occupied while I was in the friendly skies🌐 or on my own:
I would’ve added more movies🎥 to the mix, but not all of my apps📳 are up to par. Either way, I stayed occupied when I wasn’t 😲😵asleep😴💤 or visiting with my relatives ~ my Mami Aya‘s siblings for their reunion (that was the plan, but I ended up just referring to those at bedtime and did my dissertation during the day)!
Plus, I packed👜 light💡 with only one pair of shoes👡 to match my 👗outfits!
Paired both of these OOTDs with white sandals before Labor Day! Skirts and scarves galore! 👛🎒
And accessoried accordingly, of course!
If only I could take 🎓Grad📖 🐯Cat🐆 & 📊Stats📉📈 🐱Cat🐈 with me,
They wouldn’t have fit into my carry-on luggage anyway ~ in which I followed my ☼summer☼ speech student‘s suitcase👜 demo speech🎤 tips!
Beauty Basics for on-the-go:
Fun ⌚️Times⏰ were in store ~ now I ☝🏽️aim🏀 to 🏆score!
#DISPObustAFlow 🎤
👣FYI: Happy Trip was a saying from my Lola 💐Rosa🌹 ~ my beloved maternal grandmother👵🏼
Btw, in between flights, I treated my layovers like shopping sprees and strolled the terminals like I was on a mall walk! Honest & Benefit kiosks * Dallas Cowboys store * Mini *Starbucks$ Lovers♥
3:33 ~ make a Bday/BTS wish!!! ✌

Bon Voyage!
In the lyrics of Stevie Wonder ~ Isn’t she lovely?
Since I’m preparing to take off for my next work assignment, I got ☼Sunshine☼ ready for our next road trip: oil change, state inspection, tune-up and full detail.
Boy Scouts’ Motto: Be Prepared
As always, I keep my truck fully loaded with the following: * Bible * First Aid Kit (complete with alcohol prep, antibiotics, bandages, gauze, sanitizer) * emergency kit (complete with jumper cables and warning cones) * lunch bag with essentials (including female needs) * snow shovel * phone chargers (iPod/iPhone 4 for my cigarette lighter input and iPhone 5 for my USB input) * reusable tote bag (for shopping ~ to save Earth’s resources) * umbrella {by Coach}, towel and pillow, running shoes {by Asics} (you never know when you’ll need them while on-the-go) * flip flops/chanclas (always come in handy as back up)
Survival to the Fittest… On the Road!
Don’t y’all dig on my Dallas Cowboys and Hello Kitty gear? I actually got props for my team from the crew who serviced my car!
Happy Trails!
