i’ve been out cold with MEASELS, which was what i called it before i found out its real name, U-something… it’s not that bad, i’ve been taking some allergy medicine, but as we all know with allergies, they’ll come back to haunt you year and year again. so i want to cure the root of it, so i went to my traditional chinese doctor, prescribed me some roots, bee-hives, shells of bugs.. among other things…it’s really slow acting so i have to eat my allergy medicine anyway..

here’s a photo that rebecca took of me for her project, this one is my favorite, she uploaded a few others on her flickr. i think if my face was revealed, it would definitely ruin the artistic integrity of the piece. yeah!

But seriously though, it was fun even though i felt awkward, but i finally learned what a hot-shoe is! external flash, i knew it was some sort of flash but i didnt know you could connect it onto giant light emitting things..yeah, my new camera will have a slot for hot flash, you can tell that i’m excited about it right?

So far the weekend has been uneventful but i haven’t been to school for the past two days, so it feels extra long.

ack, im in a bad mood recently, told my mom i was going to the library but instead went driving

but you know what they say, when bad things keep happening, something extra good is gonna happen.

wanted to wear this rosary to school today, but i never know if it’s okay to wear a piece of jewelry that has religious affiliation when i, myself am not affiliated.

I had dinner with my friend last night, we’re both in a weird place right now. And it’s funny how the things we tell each other are exactly the same, yet we fail to apply the same wisdom and logic to ourselves! I guess, more than often a problem will go away if you just let it settle, or look at it from someone else’s eyes.

it’ll become blindingly obvious

i also realized that no matter what someone else does to you, you probably shouldn’t treat them badly or talk badly of them just because, you feel like they deserve it. I shouldn’t talk, im a basher, i like to bash people, but i think i’m going to stop, or try to stop. no one deserves to be talked badly about, no matter what they did to you. the most you can do is remove them from your life, and be smrt, SMRT!

everything is circumstantial.

p.s. posed for Rebecca today, i like saying the word photoshoot, it sounds AWESOME and it makes me sound cooler for just saying it, or having any relations to that word. of course, i suck at posing, the pictures came out good because you can’t see my face, that’s what usually ruins photos, my face. maybe she’ll post some pics from today’s shoot, HA

i dont know why i thought i could be a model, a model’s life is not for non-models! that made sense…

i feel like im in a comma! i slept for 5 hours after school today, i didnt feel like not being in dream-less land. what a peaceful sleep!

my new favorite word is BALACLAVA, i heard it often in songs, and there’s a street on the way to school that has the same name. What is it though…

my new wallet that i found in one of my dad’s old bags, i love it! i love the feel of the old leather! I love the clasp buttons that we no longer often see!

i love that the the inside is a little bit blue because of water that got in!

i love how it was broken and now i’m re-using it! it use to have a belt loop since my dad drove a motorcycle and wallets are inconvenient  (wait he still drives a motorcycle! but he’s not cool at all, seriously)

—

and my new shoes that i have yet to worn anywhere! i’ve been practicing, no face plant for me thank you.

i tried to re-create the ambiance that you could feel in a much chic-er city! or for that matter, on a much chic-er blog! maybe it’s the color of the hardwood or the fact that the hardwood is so new! the colors in the pictures didnt come out well, and yes i PS-ed it.

i love these shoes! they remind me of the Prada Chandelier shoes! well not exactly but i’d take any opportunity to bring up the chandelier shoes! they actually look very much like these Robert Clergie shoes

chunky heels thank you!

either way, it was a nice day

—

edit: can’t leave a pair of shoes just on their own

IT’S MINE, IN A FEW MORE DAYS, A FEW MORE DAYS!!!

BEAUTIFUL LEICA LENS!!!!!!!!!

I SURE KNOW HOW TO PICK ‘EM! AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT IM PICKING, I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT’S NOT LOTTERY TICKETS!

some worldly events are happening around us, winter olympics is dawning upon us sooner and sooner! im not that excited but it’s hard not to get into all the festivities! My family were planning to go to Hawaii for the break but the plan fell through, AS USUAL!

went downtown to look at this mural thing…by a chinese artist

it’s pretty amazing actually

the colors are GORGEOUS!

and this is my new friend! cute cactus from ikea! XD it’s suppose to bloom in the spring if you dont give it water all winter long! which is my specialty, ignoring plants.

inantimate objects make really good friends! they can’t hurt you…

unless you decide to hug a cactus…

i keep telling myself that these memories are enough, but it’s not, i want more
let’s not play ball, let’s not throw my heart
.

OO, GOT TAGGED BY JENNY SO I GOTA GOOGLE LIKE MAD NOW

FIVE BOYS THAT RILE UP MY HEART

1. ASHIN of MAYDAY - this obsession was pretty much instant love, i heard one of their new songs on the radio and fell in LOVE. I saw them live and it just skyrocketed my absolute obsession, he’s the vocalist and lyricists, insightful and beautiful lyrics.There’s something about musicians huh, you can’t resist them..He looks the best when he’s performing, his nick name among his fans is prince of our hearts it sounds less lame in chinese…

2. TSUMABUKI SATOSHI yeah pretty much anyone will think that if they saw ORANGE DAYS, he’s perfection!!!! you can’t really get more perfect..than him!!!  he has an irrisistable boyish charm! :D don’t you just want to ruffle up his hair?!?!?!?!?! ARGH, look at that smile, *_____*

3. CALVIN HARRIS this one is pretty recent, just because of his music. also i love that he looks like he’s confused at all times, except for the following schexy pic of him performing.

4. SID VISCIOUS i think every adolescent girl in the history of time and in the future history of time will at one point or another fall in love with sid. he’s boyish and some what naive~ that’s like cyanide to me! SID will always represent punk rock to me! Too fast to live, too young to die!! (do you see the pattern? MUSICIANS WIN MY HEART)

5. BOBBY HUNDREDS i think i’ve rattled on and off bout him quite a bit now, he ain’t no celebrity but! BUT ! BUT there’s something about a smart man that’s cultured and CREATIVE, damn lethal combination.  i’m not going to link his website just because i dont want to be that girl y’know..(btw he’s married…)

alright i’m done my 5

SOOO to sum up, i like boys that are creative / a bit naive / boyish-charm / has ruff-able hair

i am tagging 5 others, with those being: F / Rebecca / Lorik /Leanne / Leanne

(IF YOU’RE A HARDCORE FAN, YOU’LL KNOW THAT UP IN HEAVEN IS A REMIX OFF THE ADDICTED TO YOU SINGLE, HEHE)

So last night, we went to see an artist called Utada Hikaru, dont know if you’ve heard of her…

gee, i don’t know, only the best selling artist in JAPAN! LOL!!!

Well this is the UTADA in the flesh 2010 TOUR. A promotional tour for her “this is the one” album. Which after hearing live, i like it more…

anyways, so the trip is full of bumps and turns, but it was so much damn fun. The actual concert was in Seattle so yes we got off our canadian ass and drove down to the states.

WE had to go inside (in to the immigration room) when we were cross the boarder, I am canadian and I have a valid passport but one of my friend DIDNT! He had the new driver’s license which everyone claimed that you could use to cross the boarder with.. anyways, after a few questions like “Any criminal records in US or Canada?” We were allowed to go…(he got off with a warning)

so we went to eat at the cheesecake factory and it was my first time and i had a lemon raspberry creme cheesecake…oh wait you don’t want to hear what i ate? Damn

anyways..continuing on!

I have been to a few general seating concerts and i know the lines are bad, so while my friends slowly ate their food, i kept urging them to get there faster. But luckily, while we were at the back of the line I ran into some friends! And they indeed had a better spot than we did…so we did what anyone else would have done.

And the following photo is the ONLY PHOTO that I have of the entire trip. We are holding up a sign that says “FANS VANCOUVER” And yes we did hold it up a gazillion times during the concert, she read off some of the other signs and didnt acknowledge ours =(, which reflected because it was made from tin foil!!!

So about an hour before the concert, this scary loooking security guy came by and said we HAVE to put away our cameras, no cameras are allowed in the concert due to the artist’s request. So we thought this was one of those things that they say but aren’t going to really enforce…

yes we were wrong

i, like a good fan, put away my camera back in the car but two of my friends snuck in cameras in this girl’s boots. BUT! When she was being frisked they found them =_=;;; Yes I got frisked too, it was super fun!!!

She didn’t come on till after nine and sang till about 11. I wish I could show you the dress she was wearing and her funky looking hair. The whole time I was thinking, nooo, my readers, i have failed them!!!!!!

She sang quite a few Japanese songs, a few note worthy ones being, FIRST LOVE, Sakura Drops, AUTOMATIC, CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET, and among the english ones, most of the new album and Kremlin Dusk, You make me want to be a man and Devil Inside from Exodus. I don’t remember all the songs it went by like a blur..I really wanted to listen to Prisoner of Love and I screamed it outloud quite a few times..

i was about 10 m away from the stage and i didnt get that good of a view because Seattle people are damn tall! But it was amazing, and she is amazing live. I didn’t think her vocals would be super good because I’ve heard her do arena shows and it wasn’t amazing. But it was good, really good. And yeah she’s pretty cute and nice! Quirky and awkward (but not the bad kind), exactly like how she is in interviews~~

The songs that were sang were rearranged to be more rock, and she HEAD-BANGED! haahhahaha..a bit anyway

my ears were still ringing this morning..

speaking of mornings, i had 4 hours of sleep and ran to school to do a presentation on evolution, now here I am still without sleep, writing this..

DEDICATION!

If you aren’t familiar with her, there are a few of my favorite Utada Hikaru music videos following the jump.

edit: a few more pics from my friends camera and very secretive camera phone..!

im really obsessed with denim shirts, and CHAMBRAY shirts, that’s a fancy term for light cotton or smthn like that.

i even bothered to make this mini montage of images fro magazines and what not

(also obsessed w/ VAMPIRE WEEKEND’s new album CONTRA)

(click to view enlarged versions)

yeah i had a few rough days, since something not so good happened so i was emo-ing away at school, the weather was being cooperative and raining (but then again it rains everyday)

then i read this awesome story! (that i had to read for my folklore class)

was kind of obsessed with the ALEXA by MULBERRY and naturally started googling alexa chung like a mad woman!

I commented to Rebecca about how i adore her messy hair, i remember watching her in a INstyle UK shoot and her hair stylist mentioned that Alexa really likes messy hair. And yes, it really is her signature, she goes to meet Uncle Karl with fly aways, and Uncle Karl compliments her on being a modern girl..

I want to be a modern girl tooo!

So Rebecca said I should get some curlers! wtf r those o___o; After she showed me what they are, the first thing i thought of was this song

So, i went and bought some curlers!

HAHAHA, I TOOK THIS PICTURE WITH SUCH A SRS EXPRESSION TOO…

anyways this is how they turned out, not exactly ALEXA yet, but im always anxcious and take out the curlers too early, maybe i’ll leave them in all night next time, but none the less, i LOVE the result and i’m going to do it more often, im not really going for curls, more like hair that looks like dried grass..!

yes, that means i sit in front of my computer with curlers on SOMETIMES

this morning i rolled out of bed with bad BAD bed head! it was so bad that i was late for school!!

the schexy messy hair often seen in photoshoots dO NOT work in real life, they are no good, people will look at you weird, and you’ll have one of those “do i smell?” moments.

but this is the first post in the new year + i haven’t posted in the longest time, or what felt like the longest time

here are some of my recent favorite things (oh yeah, readership on this blog has been decreasing everyday, probably should do a post with some emo looking pix to perk it right up)

i love these pastel colored thermals(??) by GAP, and my new LOVE ring by F21, and of course my adorable diana mini, for which i still dont have a finished roll!

school blows, the end, i am so sick of talking/thinking about how my courses suck, so we’ll leave it at that. but instead move onto something much more appealing to the eye

and that’s Mulberry’s highly anticipated bag, the ALEXA named after the always stylish ALEXA CHUNG!

i’m not that into high end handbags, but this has been the first one that i want really badly, it’s priced for about $1600 USD for the oversized. it’s great for school or work, it’s huge, it’s stylish, and it looks perfect. (Btw, the creative director of Mulberry is Emma hill, so emma please hook emma up with one of these?!)

look how well it sits, ahh im in love! (actualy i like the one that alexa is carrying in the right picture more, i think that is the original men’s mulberry briefcase which the ALEXA is based on, but either one is fine with me!)
