I'm not afraid to say that I'm currently blogging while taking a strawberry-bathsalt-scented bubble bath. The water of my tub is a glorious tint of pink. An ironic, nice contrast to the grimness of the Breaking Bad episode that I'm currently watching.

Coming home to warm Cali has been nice. Saw most of my OG lovers. Laughed obnoxiously in public due to a happy green plant. But I'm ready to fly back though tomorrow. Nervous, but ready.

2012, kiss my ass.

Christmas Eve: went to a wedding of someone I did not know. Asians know how to celebrate holidays. #sarcasm

Anyways, after trying on dresses during a random mall run with my mom, I realized that flowy dresses look like nightgowns on me. To my chagrin, I realized that I only look acceptable (ironically) in tighter dresses. Fuck curves, fuck sucking in my stomach rolls.

Watercolor pencils

I was frustated last night, so I decided to draw again. Definitely not my best work because that's one fugly creature. Nonetheless, that's 10 minutes well spent. Felt like I could wrestle a lion with complete calm.

P.S. Thought m'lady looks better in black and white so I messed around on the computer.

I just lost the will to post all semester. Fucked up some (which means a lot), broke some laws, paying the consequences, going broke, made out with every animal I see, messed up two weddings, getting lost at the airport, having to stay at a hotel overnight because my first plane was late to my connecting flight,said some stupid things, met my soulmates, had some of the best weekends because of them, loved/hated life at the same time. So here's all my best memories.

P.S. And since I know, my roommate creeps on me: I fucking love her.

Sometimes it takes forever.

Officially moved into college three-or-so weeks ago. Tipsy nights. 15-or-so people crowded into my dorm. 8 people sleeping in it. Me waking up on the floor of my own dorm while 2 other people are laying in it. Mothered 3 puking, unconcious beings in the span of 3 days. Walked with aimless ambition. Getting somewhere. Falling asleep while people are making out, eating pizza, screaming, reckless craze happens around me.

I will get used to this.

I can never look at a vodka bottle the same way again. In fact, I might not even be able to look at it without vomitting. Never have I hated a day like today. Got home around 7 am. Puked at 4 am. Puked again at 8 am and continued until 1 PM. Last night, alcohol whisked away my strength and left me incapable and defenseless. Though I feel physically better, just thinking about the moments after beer pong churns up all my leftover organs. Never again.

I apologize for the lack of outfit posts. After an eventful day at the beach, sand got caught in my camera and now it stopped working.

The fashion in this video is just pretty close to perfect. A little bit of Romeo and Juliet. A younger, twisted-ending of The West Side Story. And a breakdancingcompetition thrown in.

Taken at my little sister's piano contest. As soon as she got onstage, I balled out crying. Cried even more when they announced that she won first place.

Though I loved this dress, I felt a little self-conscious in an outfit this short at a piano convention. Hmm, maybe I should rethink the where and what next time.

I think I shock a lot of people. It's hilarious. By a look of me, no one can guess that I blaze. And when they find out I do, shock and amusement immediately come forth on their faces. They they immediately assume me to be a partier. But I'm not. I hate chaotic events. And now 3 people have sworn to get me drunk. (If I'm drunk, I'll also obviously be crossfaded. haha)

I wrote alot of other shit too, but I really didn't have the balls to put it up. I can be a bit paranoid. Feel it later biting me in the ass.

Anyhoo, I'm really hope to go on some midnight adventures tonight. You know, Operation Exploration. Run in the sprinklers, or just stand there laughing my head off. And then maybe some Del Taco later. Open 24 hrs a day. :)

Titleless

2011-07-01T18:30:00.000-07:00

I feel like I should talk more these days.

These days I feel like I can't sleep without lighting up. Perhaps I've learned never to say never. Maybe better to be a mischief then a hypocrite. Unfortunately, I'm not too talented with fire. I fall daily so to trust me with Prometheus's stolen gift is an insult to the Gods. I was out of lighters last night, and due to my very rough day, I was like," What the fuck?" So at 1 am, I was bent over a burner stove, trying to get some fucking lighter magic here. (Dejavu to a scene I just recently saw of a scene of Cameron Diaz's character in Bad Teacher. Watch it and you'll know what I mean.) Even with my hair tied back, the flames caught the my skull and burnt over pretty much the whole front. Well, at least now it's pretty much even. It used to be just the right side, now both sides are evenly carameled tipped.
Strangely, I got the munchies the next morning, and I NEVER get the munchies. EVER. Everyone else is usually swallowing their pizzas whole like a snake, and I'm usually too "mellowed" out to give a damn. Or maybe cause I'm always hungry, so nothing really feels different.

I feel like I should be more productive these days. And I mean like Get some real life fucking experiences done with. Instead of just sitting on my ass in front of this computer, sleeping all day, make blank requests to "hangoutwithfriends" but never holding my end of the deal, trying to get head into these summer college classes as a headstart to college, etc.

So I made a summershit list (unfortunately, I have as much of a potty mouth in real life as I do here):

1. skydiving
2. roadtrip
3. Venice Beach
4. potluck for a picnic
5. pot-luck at a beach
6. get 3 tats when I'm legal (1 for sis, 1 for me, 1 for family name)
7. DIY some shit
8. driver's license
9. win the lottery
10. live life with the people that made me
You'd better miss me bitches.

P.S. I'm pretty excited for this movie. And I hate romcoms. It's just that I fucking love everybody in this film. I'm not sure who I'd rather sleep with: Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone.

P.P.S. I don't associate myself to be a stoner. Just cause I smoke green doesn't mean that I'm necessarily a stoner. If I was to fuck a girl, that doesn't necessarily make me a lesbian. And I don't smoke cigs, just weed. And I don't drink much either. In fact, I'm still pretty Asian. Just more of an unorthodox one.

Exhausted. Watched the midnight showing for Transformers 3 last night. (Cheesiest movie that I've seen in awhile. Not sure it was worth the 2hrs&45min I could've saved for some zzz's) Came home at 3 am. Went to bed around 4 am. Woke up at 7:30 am. Learned to sew till 11 am. Went shopping. Not buying anything until the final stop at H&M where I ended leaving with 6 basics. (still upset that mother wouldn't let me buy this awesome swan crepe shirt) Along the way, I stupidly trusted my little sister with my phone. Ended up getting lost. Without a phone for the 4th time these 1 1/2 years. But for the 1st time, it ain't my fault.

P.S. Taken from a dressing room. Note the sleep-deprived face.

P.P.S. Oh and I have shingles.

Licking the Licorice Between Summer and Death

2011-06-18T11:53:00.000-07:00

So yeah. I lit my hair on fire yesterday. Like the whole front of my fucking burst into flames. It's not too noticeable if I leave my hair down, but once I lift it up, there is a good 3 inches of blunt caramel-colored tips and a few bald spots.
Though I noticed brightly-colored yellow and bits of ashes falling down my face, I was so preoccupied that I didn't recognize the immediate danger until all my friends started screaming "OHMYGAWD!!!". This guy with lightning speeds starts pulling at my hair (and chunks of hair starts falling) after he heard the initial sssss, and starts yelling, "Holy SHIT! I had to LITERALLY grab fire from your head. Like literally FLAMES!"

Lesson from the story? Don't play with lighters and don't do drugs.

P.S. I officially graduate from high school on Wednesday. That is all.

I don't know if I've told y'all, but I've decided where I will further continue my education: Indiana University. And I'm scared shitless. After years wanting to explore other states, reality has hit me and I realized how "unique" the transition might. Gaze your eyes on these sunny photos of California. For a decade of my life, this what I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, for the 3-4 years I've lived in Cananda, I loved it. The snow, the seasons. But now, in Indiana, I'm venturing out on my own. Where the White population is 87.8% and the minority population in IU is 9%. Me and 9 Fucking Percent. Scream with me.
Of course, I'm more anxious than frightened. Getting out would be a change, but I've been craving independence. And snow.

Anyhoo, these are some photos from our visit to UCSC. That college has the most gorgeous campus. It's more like a forest and within there just happened to be glasses and wooden buildings. What swayed me away unfortunately was the fact that it did not include my major. If I can combine the grandoise of IU and the beauty of UCSC then next year would be perfect.

A little extra love for a moody day.

I was undergoing an emotional breakdown that day. The type where you shake, drop, and roll. Unable to control the volume of your voice, probably damaging your vocal chords. Hysterical possibly. Until I encountered this one video on my Facebook wall. You're only as tall as your heart can make you be.

I've never done a beauty inspiration post before... so here's a barfload of hair inspiration. All so magical. I love beachy, natural waves and dyed colored ends. Thinking of doing both for the summer, just to spoof up my naturally, boringass straight hair.

I said I'm getting fucked up after AP testing and true to my word. I can feel judgment. But...if you could shut your emotions off, would you? Just for a few hours. Just so you wouldn't feel. Just so you couldn't think. Block out the critics. Block out the assholes. And just do crazy shit. Like buy wacky sunglasses.

Funniest story all week: So my AP Psych teacher received a free 3-day trip on a cruise ship. Unfortunately the cruise ship's current destination was in Thailand, causing her to buy tickets to this one... errr, city in Thailand. Here is the conversation that became to be: Psychology Teacher: "Hello, I would like to buy tickets to... errr... Phuckit (Phuket)" Travel Agency: "Excuse me?" PT: "Fuck it. Phuckkkiittt. Fackit?" TA: "... What is it NEAR by?" PT: "Bangcock (Bangkok)" TA: "...Where is it?" PT: "It's next to Peepee Island! (Pepe Island)" TA: "... How OLD are you?!" [hangs up phone] Unsurprising since this a teacher who cusses every other sentence. :D I adore her.

Need to post Calvin Klein One interview vids. I'll just add them all up and give a haul or some crap like that. I tried to do it yesterday, but for something this technology called the internet wasn't functioning with me.

P.S. Kind of in love with the show Shameless. Still yet to decide whether I should be parading my love around for this drama, like I do with The Big Bang Theory or Family Guy, since it has quite a lot of sex scenes in it. Hmmmm...

Pretty much in love with the Lip character though. Jeremy Allen White is incredible as the genius bad boy. In fact, give me any highly-intelligent, doesn't-give-a-shit-about-anything, secretely sentimental guy, and I'll think I have met my soulmate.

Got these new sunglasses in Ebay for $5 (plus shipping/handling of course). Hell YEAH! Not a huge fan of Gaga (don't get the hype only she's got balls wearing the outfits she puts together) but those sunglasses are sexy shit. Both the magazine and the glasses came in at the same time. Such perfect timing. (And quick service! I paid for my glasses 2 days ago! Thank you Juan!)

P.S. I think the perfect way to make this more mainstream/"indie" would be to make one of the photos black/white.

Ok, so obviously as a teenage girl, I can't help but sometimes obsess over the way I look. Lately, I feel like I gained 10 pounds (even though I don't weigh myself) in muscle and pudge. And I hate it. My legs has gotten insanely bulky. Is there a way to lose muscle? While still being able to work out? Or I am just a bag of improbable contradictions?

While out in Vegas, I realized how much dating is like gambling. You can either go the easy route and put your bets on something more "attainable" or can go all out and reach for the high stakes. There's a greater chance of losing all your dignity but the outcome if won, will be worth all the anxiety. Both are highly dangerous and ill-advised.

If any of you must know, Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley are my two definite girl crushes. (Third, Anne Hathaway... if those 3 made a movie together, I think I might scream like a 13-year-old boy.) Therefore, The Edge of Love has always been on my to-do-list of movies that must be watched. Currently in the midst of watching Never Let Me Go. Carey Mulligan is quite darling as well. So after finals (2 more weeks, and I'm about to scream), it WILL be all play, despite what my parents might say.

As a true Scorpio, I was shocked that I am now a "Virgo". I find this quite paradoxical as I am not only the most emotional and sexual of the signs, but also the most gentle and virginal of the signs. Just by saying that I prefer the former proves that a change in the alignment of the stars is a bunch of bullshit.

I'm not saying that I go carousing and vamping it up every chance I get. In fact, not at all. I'm picky about the people I decide to have a relationship with. Picky to a fault. Which is why I believe I will be single forever. :D
I'm no prune though. Anything happens, happens. Gave up regretting a long time ago. As long as you're having fun, it's never considered a waste of time.

My friends and I joke about everyone being a slut when given the chance. I say Imma classy slut. ;)

P.S. Can we not look at my face in these photos? I don't know what happened but it seems as if I seem utterly lost and forgot how to stand.

I usually don't do these 1-item "must-have", but this sheer shirt with the sexiest cut-out in the back is... GAH. Too orgasmic. The shorts are pretty sweet as well. I wouldn't mind getting those two items... if my savings account wasn't running low. Thank god I scored a new job.

When I say a day, I meant more like a week.

Anyhoo, this is pretty much what I wore to Phoneix. What a warm and welcoming city. (When I say warm, I also mean the temperature.) There are so many Native American artifacts, jewerly, and art that truly, the town never gets boring. We came in the morning so we were practically the only one there. I didn't end up buying the suede, authentic cowboy hat but I was dying to if it wasn't for the price.

P.S. When I have my own house, I'd decorate it all with skulls, skeletons, and body parts. However wrong that sounds. Anyhoo, that jeweled cow skull is the first thing that'll be in my living room.

At Old Town, Phoenix, Arizona

Late, definitely. I've missed Christmas so I was certainly not going to miss New Years.

I gave up on resolutions and shit because I believe everything is a step in progression and there shouldn't be a sudden decision to change. Those quick "Hey! Why don't I do this?" never work.

Anyhoo, sorry for the unexciting happenings. I'm practically scrambling to finish schoolwork that I should've finished 2 weeks ago. Perhaps it's because I'm one of those people who don't give a crap whether or not it's New Year's or not. And most probably because my family is pretty much terrible on celebrating so I gave up on caring. (If I do recall, last year, I believe I got a bit woozy on some New Year Eve's alcohol. And I don't even remember what. That was probably the most exciting thing that happened that day.)

New Year Eve celebration this year didn't really start until 6 PM. Or 8 PM. Mellow like every other day but at least I spent it with a couple of people that I adored. One of my best friends started bitching at me though, but I know he loves me. :D Overall, it was pretty peaceful. Until some cops scared the shit out of us (or me especially--I believe I sent a string of obvious f-bombs when I saw those flashlights). Then we found out they were just warning us that the park closes at 10 PM. Paused at the Top of the World, Laguna Beach and there was nobody there. Just the 4 of us. How f--king boring is my town? If it was New York, there would be some radical party.

I feel like I'm making myself sound bad-ass, which I really am not AT ALL, so I will stop right now.

4 cities in 4 days. So for Christmas, we roamed around Nevada, Grand Canyon, and Arizona. Be prepared for a vast load of photos to come... in of course, no particular order. Knowing me, I will probably always ward off things till the last moment. By the time, I'm done uploading everything, it'll be 2011 already. (Note to self: finish reading Much Ado About Nothing) Grand Canyon was one of the last places we visited, so I have no idea why I'm putting these first.

I wish I was, but I am not, a naturey kind of person. I enjoy hikes and all that, but I don't get the same exact ecstacticness as I would get whenever I'm in a city or a town. Grand Canyon, I do have to admit was pretty breathtaking. Props to my little sister for "making" me chase her to all the way to the top. I also adored the Native American culture . The rugged cowboys are very charming and very polite. I need more of those around Cali.

As much as I love color, I always fall back to neutral. So gentle and versatile. Although I have to say, these pieces don't exactly fit into the cold and rainy (or snowy if that's what December is like for you or sunny if you happen to live down under) of winter, they easily caught my eye. (And also, some of them I had saved in my computer for months, but never found the effort to make a collage. :D)

After living past possibly one of the worst weeks of my life (imagine anything bad that can possibly happened, happened), I'm promising to give myself a good one next week. Finally on winter break. Not everything went directly as planned, so I can imagine myself making amends and making the best of it. Yesterday has been raining all morning, so hopefully I'll see a rainbow today. Down with a cold. Karma for going out last night while it was tinkling outside.

I'm possibly the only Asian that I know with that many freckles. I'm thankful for my good skin genes, but I definitely take it for granted. The way I treat my skin is equal to absolutely shit. 17 years of sun damage, and this is what happens. For me, the picture is too personal. I can't look at it without going, that's disgusting. I had to though in order to show off my rather simple DIY project that I did a month ago. Just never had the energy to put it up.

I don't know what to make of this week. My grades have been in the dumps, and I've just found a reason to bring them back up. I can't wait for next week to come in order for Winter Break to come, and yet, all these midterms and tests are death to the ears. I've just started to gain some self-happiness due to a certain someone, and yet, from the looks of it, I'd probably never see ma beast. (I hope he never reads this, cause (he and) I have too big of an ego to ever admit that I miss his face.) Being told that I should continue acting like the good little Asian for the next week sucks; so much to look forward leads to both yay and nay feelings.

First 2 photos are little jewerly that I made. A few days after that crappy photo was taken, I made 3 more rings. A cross, a silver leaf, and a gold spider. When it comes to jewelry, I'm not that obssessed. Sometimes it's practicality and my obvious clumsiness. I don't know, maybe it's my fear of dropping these metal things down the toilet. Losing them a week after buying them is inevitable. Also, I never find any that I like. And the ones I do like cost major bucks.
All my weaknesses clumped together has propelled me to make my own little "trinkets". Cue the super glue on skin, floor, carpet, etc. and some major pain along the way. Nevertheless, I am much more proud of crap I make myself. I would've boasted my 3 little new babies but until I get a camera, I can't. With my ancient piece of machinery, all photos that come out are blurry and incomprehensible.

The last few photos are outdated from Knott's for my 17th birthday. I was in debate to actually show photos of my crazy friends who made that day happen, but then again their privacy is also very important to me. Instead, here's a vision of a ride that I didn't have the balls to go on, roosters and hens that surprised us at the end of the days (and can amazingly climb trees), my face that summed up what I felt about the whole day, and a perfectly-screwed-up photobooth picture (I was devirginized of never being in a photobooth. They say that your first experience sucks, but I didn't think it could've been better. Especially loving the last photo of me supposedly giving my friend a hickey, who by the way was 1 of the FOUR girls that was in the booth. Hilariously, her face was the only one that came out and the only person that you can see in all 4 slides.)

P.S. I'm promising to put up some actual outfit posts soon. Just did my SAT Subject tests this morning so I'm finally semi-free.

Turned 17 today. Will post more of my hectic, hilarious, nauseous day next time. Now, I just need to catch up on homework and get some sleep. Enjoying this weather. During my little Knott's Berry Farm rumble, the sun was shining down on us and all was well. Right now it's raining hail. Just like I like it. :) The day ended perfectly.

This post is very anticlimatic, but I just adore Freja's tattoos, especially that gun one. I don't know if the last pic is of Freja but that just made my jaw drop when I saw it in the beauty section of some runway of Style.com. Amazing. I quite love tattoos. Not full on body work... but rather simple, witty, coy tattoos on some parts of body. Definitely sexy on back of neck, forearms, wrist, back. I've been planning my tattoo for years, but I've always been too pu$$y to try it. Plus, my parents would probably disown me. Maybe next year when I'm actually legal.

Here we are. Lost.

A week ago, I recieved a facebook event invite about October 20th, where we wear purple to support and remember the LGBT community who have been bullied, abused, depressed, or suicidal. As a huge believer of equality for these wonderful people, I initally clicked "Yes, I will attend".

Then on October 19th, someone changed my mind. I decided I will not wear purple for the LGBTs.

This facebook status update is what caused this radical decision:

“I’m not wearing purple today b/c I'm gay & I’m showing support to
those who were bullied & committed suicide for being gay.I’m wearing
purple to show support to EVERYONE who has been bullied & committed
suicide b/c they were “too” fat,skinny,wear
glasses,braces,race,gender,religion,etc. things they can’t help in life.Why should 1 group to have spotlight on them & others go unrecognized & left unknown. We are only human."--Anonymous friend.

Now this was updated by a "just recently out-of-the-closet" homosexual friend. He used to be so self-conscious about his sexaulity and the perceptives of what others thought of him, he was a bit emotionally unstable. I, being not quite emotionally stable myself (not exactly for the same reasons as his), knew about how immediatlely destructive you can become when you lie to yourself.

Everyone has different issues. I can assure you that all the other person want is to be listened to. Honest to god, I am very UNsympathetic. (Trust me, I was pretty harsh with my friend when he started getting irrational.) However, ALWAYS be compasssionate.

I still have my own issues to sort out and turmoils that can send me pulling my hair out at seemingly random times. Nevertheless, like what my friend said,"We are only human."

I feel so priviledged that I that got my job back after 3 months of hiatus. Unfortunately, with all the wackness I have going on, I don't know if I can handle it all. It never stops, does it?

Anyhoo, because of my packed situations (ACT scores coming in 2 days!), I haven't gotten many chances to take pictures. I've been loving maxi dresses lately. You can roll them, tuck them, dance in them. So versatile. However, every time I wear them, I never have the chance to take photos. I'm either at school, work, prep class, etc. I can't wait until I'm done with all this and I can finally focus on what's important to me. So, anyhoo (again), I was able to sneak a couple of pictures once I returned home. (You can tell, from the lack of shoes.)

Sometimes I realize it's not too genius to screw with your teachers, even if it will cause a riot of curious approval from your classmates.

In the three days of senior year, I find out by the first day that my AP Psychology teacher is a likeable, cussbird. My time of an administrator. I couldn't help laughing the hardest when she tells her story of getting hammered in college while all the other Asians huddle around with their flashcards, promptly giving death stares to the party loitering by (finishing off the story with "those little f***ers")
Therefore, during our little "get-to-know-each-other-after-finishing-all-the-boring-curriculum-crap" on the second day of school, I decided to give a little less-conventional answers during the questions of:
Origin of name? "My name is Jennie. And there really isn't a reason that my name is Jennie. My parents had to think of something to put on my green card and Hui didn't quite work..." (ended with did-not-expect-that laughter)
Favorite animal? "My little sister" (ended with another hysterical bout of WTF laughter)
Favorite movie? "I like movies by Jackie Chan." (Too frank?)
Favorite icecream? "Green Tea" (This is a complete lie. I have never even tried green tea.)
Pet Peeve? "I hate it when people bother me when I work out." (Completely true.)
Favorite artist? "Eminem" (Love his work too much to say anything else.)
Worst trait? "I'm pretty awkward." (Caught a smile from the teacher)

Now here I am, saying all this bullshit with a complete straight face and a cocked eyebrow, when really I was about to piss in my pants.

On the third holy day, AP Psych teacher goes over the ungodly outline. By the time she finishes rambling on, I realize I only caught half the things she said. Once she starts reading, I ask,"So... are we supposed to do bulletpoints or anything?" She does this groan and tells me,"Stop being so Asian." In my mind, I'm thinking "Oh you bitch." Nonetheless, she continues on teasing me about how I must want to sit in the front now (I sit in the back, right next to the door, perfect spot for my eating and napping pleasure) and that she's punishing me write now by telling me that I don't have to "write down one fucking thing". This of course earns great laughter (even a slight chuckle from me) due to her choice of vocabulary and her stereotypical comments.

Usually, I welcome these comments which I even use myself (as you can see above). However, I also welcome a direct response when I am actually sincerely trying to learn. I detest mockery and rudeness and was utterly surprised when I recieved both from a teacher. Therefore, when she later told the whole class (at the end of the lecture) that it was probably best to take bulleted notes, she mentioned my name. I did a bit of a glare and a hmmm? A bit taken aback, she asked me if she got my name right. Confirmed she did. At first I enjoyed her different teaching style, but not when it was directed to me. I'm a selfish bitch, ain't I?

After moping over her comments, I realized that I dug this deep hole with my too honest answers with my too Fobbish-Asian persona the day before. Because I am human, I hate questioning if it was my doing that caused my unhappiness. And I hate it when others generalize. I happen to be the least anxious and uptight and the most overconfident and non-asianess person I know. Has she said her comments in private, I would've greeted this with insane smiles.

Moral of this story? Don't F$$$ with teachers?
And please, don't take us asians too seriously. We just say random crap to make fun of you.

P.S. Anyhoo, was going to make this 15 word post on loafers. But instead made a rant about my shitty moment on the first 3 days of school. Sorry about that.

Stupidest Question Ever: "Why do you always trip over my mini-bowling alley in the middle of my room when mommy turns off the light?!"

First off, who has a freakin' mini-bowling alley in the middle of their room?! And I trip anyways even WITH the lights on! (Btw, don't think we live in any Playboy mansion. My little sis' mini bowling alley is made of wooden tiles and the pins are the size of your pinky.)

P.S. These were taken during my deadly bout in SAT summer boot camp. Right in the restroom. I thought I would never have time to take any photos, so I brought my camera with me that day. Which is stupid, since who knew I would never be able to upload them anyways. While other bloggers update their blog with their cutsey little outfit every single day... I'm a bit ghetto and you guys get to see what I'm wearing a few days before. Or in this case, a month before... when the weather is still Cali-warm and not beach-cold (as in 60 degrees).

P.P.S. School starts soon. As in tomorrow.
I'm going to be a loner and say senior year is going to suck. Cue college applications.

Black Polka-dot dress (vintage), Black Belt (Wetseal), Black Wedges (Mootsies Tootsies), Black Floopy Hat (flea market)

Funny, I always seem to find my favorite comfortable items in the bottom of one of my mom's donation bundle. How angry I get at myself when I think back of the times where I miss such great opportunities. (Darn that tan suede blazer that I was about to retrieve later in the day, but came back home finding it already gone.) This dress was about to be shipped off somewhere on some pickup truck, but I greedily snatched it up as soon as I noticed the addicting print peeking through the see-through grocery bag. Once I picked it up, the sheer texture and the lightweight material was heaven-called. Immediately when I put it on, I noticed how danceable the dress once, giving note that this might be perfect for claustrophic parties.

I've been quite obssessed with long dresses lately. I never thought I could pull them off before due to my unsightly height. Now, I realize how easy they transition from summer to fall. As temperature hike up, do them same to the skirt; as temperatures come down, let them fall.

P.S. Pardon my awkward poses. One of my sweet, gay guyfriend told me via my facebook pic that I should be a model. I made one of these faces 0_o before I completely laughed out loud (I don't do acronyms). I thanked him but also commented on my shortness (that he always makes fun of anyways). Despite how much he insisted, I'm sure anyone can see from these photos that none of my photos would ever make Tyra Banks happy.

Took a minication this weekend in a resort, Loews, near Las Vegas. The place was so beautiful and luxurious. We were spoiled to death there from towels and sparkling fruity water everywhere we go to Arabic-inspired beauties everywhere we admire to TV in treadmills everywhere we sweat. (Since I only do cardio at home, I tried out on some weights. Arms are a laugh. Is 40 good? o_0 But I just found out that because of the excessive amounts of cardio I do, I can go 175 on the legs. *Does victory dance*) My interior design instincts immediately kicked in when I saw how wonderfully vintage the place was. Think desert color scheme mixed with Arabian and Egyptian tastes. A definite go-to place in the future.

P.S. Now, I'm really thinking of giving my hair a trim. Long black hair does not do wonders to outfits. It just obscures everything and I hate pulling it back due to my abnormally round face (whereas I should have gotten my mother's longer, slender one... with actual cheeckbones).

Portrait by me of Behind the Seams (click on photo to direct yourself to her blog)

I'm proud to display by lovely gut from eating too much mac and cheese at Legoland. Blame it on the Buffet for Kids. I developed an outrageous tan from those sandles. Because it is summer and I have no flats and sandles that fit me properly, I am forced to wear them when it is above 75 degrees. (I don't find the point in wearing shoes anyways, since I always come with shoes but never have them on. I'm so much content on being the lonebarefoot in a crowd of shoes.)

Anyhoo, I did a pen/watercolor drawing of the absolutely beautiful Miss Tran of Behind the Seams. Check out her lovely DIYs! Such simple and easy instructions. And her elegant and stunning makeup are eyegasms.

P.S. I don't know if this is healthy for my ears... but I have had Eminem's Recovery album on repeat for the last 24 hours every day of last week. I'm not a fervent fan of rap and can never declare myself an expert. However, unlike some, the make-or-break factor in music for me is the lyrics. Granted, Eminem has overused his angry tone and drugged-up nights as themes for practically every song he has ever released, but for some reason, this album is particularly good. Most comeback albums are "Hello world! I'm back! Imma start hitting platinum again! Buy my new album!" No, Slim Shady is more like "F$$$ the world. Imma back and Imma make up for the wait."

And it's slightly creepy how his new music video "Love the Way You Lie" is so similar to the way I imagined it. Although, I didn't understand the concept of putting Eminem in a cornfield. That was a bit randomly strange to me.

Go ahead. Laugh at my drawing. This is what happens when it's summer and you're still taking 9-5 classes. I was extremely productive during math class today, attentively nodding at all the right moments and copying just enough notes to show mi madre.
In the past few months, I have been enthralled by the beautiful Ms.Nguyen. My words will be confirmed when I say, "What a stunning asian!" (I believe she is either Vietnamese or Korean just by her last name but I can't be certain. She sometimes writes in a language other than English, which I believe is Norwegian.) She exudes such creativity and sensuality. I can infer that she's about the same age as me, but her photos seem so much more mature than what my own Jurassic-Park age camera can show.

So,throughout the 3-hour math session, I started sketching with a my trustable Staples mult-colored inky pens that I bought for $3 for a pack of 12. Before I got too smart, I realized that I would run out of ink by the end of the class period. I rarely continue what I doodle in class, but this time, when I got home, I grabbed the first art supplies I saw at hand, which was... Twistable Crayola crayons. I went old-school. Basically, I finished my amatuer portrait of a lovely lady with pens and crayons. :)

P.S. I don't know why I made her hair with so much oomph, and I know that her head is a bit deformed, but I definitely did not mean to. It's quite difficult to draw a person when you don't have the exact picture at hand. Once I saw the photo side by side with my drawing, I went OH.... shit. Still... oh well.... hey. No regrets, right?

Maybe it's superstition, but the fluncuating weather and the capricious temperature swings has really got me wondering whether or not 2012 is the year.
I have my own little theory about that. I believe that us humans will get in a frenzy. The frightened will get their thongs and tightywhities in a twist and spend spend spend waste waste waste then go on a killing spree. The sane will prosper on.

Or maybe I just know too much thriller, apolyptical movies.

Heard Inception was insane. I don't know if I should look it up on Wikipedia and spoil everything or bribe someone to give me $10.

P.S. I am currently reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. One of the best reads ever. One of those books that make you visualize every single scene. I am a very visual person so whatever I read or hear I form this "movie clip" in my head. I don't know if it's because I barely ever watch movies or TV, so maybe my brain is cries "I am going disillusional by the lack of entertainment". As I am "aging" to my adult years, my dad and I are figuring out what I should do in the future. I'm thinking of adding director to my laundry list of careers.

I apologize for my lack of "decent" outfit posts, but when you come home at 6 everyday, and still have a shitload of crap you have to do. When I do get the chance to go out, I just enjoy the little time I have to relax. I should be taking photos though, because most of the people I hang out with graduated this year. In a month or so, I'll probably never see any of them ever again. (Hear me cry.) I love being the youngest in the group, but sometimes it sucks.

To make up my lack of posts, this post is dedicated to some inspirational, makes-me-smile styling and editorials. (First photo is from J-Crew's amazing few seasons-ago collection.) Whenever I think of summer or spring, I think of of love-birds getting hitched. Everyone seems to love having their weddings in the months of June-August. This post is to my newlyweds. Hope your wedding never end up like Tiger Woods'... but if it does, might as well... cause I heard Elin is getting nearly $200 million flipping dollars. That's a lot of Louboutins.

I do have to say, I'm pretty psyched to have both my lookbook and am featured on looklet. I recieved the email last week from looklet mag and I emailed them 5 seconds after, "OF COURSE!"

Anyhoo, there's a bit of an American theme here. Preps and Kemp Muhl? Both very USA. To be honest, I wasn't too sure who Kemp Muhl was when I they asked me to do a look based off of her, but after looking her up, I was pretty envious. What a face, what a body, what a rocker boyfriend, what a style! Immediately, I started feeling her love for hats, and everything vintage (that seems familiar). So 1/2 happy day for me.

The other half... well, I failed my AP Stats test (the legit one). Passed the AP Lang one with a decent score of 3. Where the F$$$ is my Asian skills?

Just realized, this is my 200th post. Yikees! Maybe I'll do a giveaway (since they are all the rave these days) when I get the chance.
Anyhoo, Happy belated July 4th! On July 3rd, my friends and I had a little surprise party for my friend who just turned 18. I spent the whole time mourning over how all of them were leaving me for college next year. (The birthday girl is going to Cal Tech. Effing asian.) I didn't get the chance to get out my camera, but I thought I took some pics, but I guess there was something wrong with my flash so, I guess apparently not? Beach pics are so pretty though. Maybe I'll steal some from Facebook. But the outfit that I'm wearing here is basically what I wore to the beach. I assumed that the weather would be fine, so I didn't bring any extra clothes... turns out it would get close to 50 at 8 o'clock. Sometimes, I hate California.

I tried to take some pictures of the fireworks on Independence Day, but my nearly retired camera didn't quite go off at the right times. I caught them just as they were dying out. Plus, half of my photos had some couple's head in them.

Still, Happy July 4th/5th everybody. Everyone has a July 4th/5th, so celebrate!

Now don't we wish all men dressed like this? Or maybe it's just me. (Yes, I love men in black.) I've been really drawn into the menswear shows this day. (A supplement to my boredom. Also, I don't understand why there are female models in menswear shows? It's cute when they are actually going down the runway together, but in some, there is this random female model going down the runway in a dress... so confused.) Usually, I find menswear fashion shows to be either extremely uncreative or extremely metrosexual. butI adored Burberry Prorsum's (Christopher Bailey is a GENIUS) and John Varvatos' outfits. I believe men should look like men. Even my homosexual guy friends don't go out in hot short shorts and pink collared shirts tucked into ripped jeans.
Thankfully, there are actually a few well-dressed boys in my school. Last year there was this one Filipino dude, who would come to school in what would be known as "geek-chic". Everday, he looked so adorable with his nerdy glasses, bowtie, blazer, and vest. (Mind you, I go to a public high school.) He was able to own what he wore, without losing an ounce of his manniness. I wanted to approach him so badly, but felt the situation would be too awkward. What would I say? "Hey! I love how you dress!...Alright...Goodbye now!" If the world was perfect, all men would be as handsome and fashionably conscious as Pelayo. Although I don't think they can pull of a kilt as well as he does.

P.S. I have been reading FMLs all day. Sadly, it has barely made me feel better about mine. Although, it has cracked the F out of me.
P.P.S. I know my photos are usually ginormous to fit some screens. Can anyone recommend a better photosharing website? I use Photobucket, but I am a bit technology challenged and physically lazy to change the size.

Shut them out when the mouth is open.

Everytime I see of Cole Mohr in it, the editorial comes alive. He has the allure about him that is so attractive. A little secret for y'all to know: Mi amor bad boys.
I mean look at that smile! Can pull off dork and gay while retaining his maniness.

A little extra for y'all (:D): Luke Worall a.k.a. Kelly Osbourne's fiance.
He has such gentle features. He reminds me of a little boy, therefore making his piercing near the lip so unpredictable.

Oh, and I'm going to speal, since I'm kinda already on the topic already. *sigh*. I F---ING hate being the guys' go-to-girl. That means you can never be their girl. My friends population is 75% testosterone and 25% estrogen. (Girls are way too catty. Sorry. Definitely criticizing myself as well.) Whenever I start liking one of them and I think they do too, suddenly out of nowhere, they confront me about what they should do about their future relationship. Usually the girl is a hobag. (Why the F do guys go for sluts? They will break their heart in a minute. Oh yeah. But I like bad boys. Hehe...)

P.S. I am done with JUNIOR year! Phsyched, but not too phsyched. Cause next Monday, real hell begins. Am killing as much brain cells as I can. Not that studying finals didn't murder enough already.
P.P.S. Will be making posting boy-spiration very soon. :D

WTF is wrong with my face these days! It seems that I can never take a decent photo nowadays. It's nearing the end of school, so I really don't have time to go anywhere, (Goodbye seniors! Will joing your ranks next year) so I'm stuck with my crappy self-portraits (I'm no Zanita). And I apologize for my alien hands.

For my fashion class, I had to do a "shoe design". I was going to make it all funky and bad-ass, with nails and studs and everything. But I lucked out and broke out (too much?), meaning a crafts store, like Micheal's did have flowers but not studs or brads (which I was going to hole punch the shoe and stick them inside to get that "gold-round-stud" look). And I half of my month's pay or spontaneous junkfood buying. Typical teenager. :)

P.S. I got that sweater at the Discovery shop that I used to work. It is the softest "not-hot-nor-cold" top I own. I would wear it every minute of the whole year if I could.

Richard Cory

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

-Edwin Arlington Robinson

Every time.

I promised a collage for the ballsy, deviliously beautiful Leighton Meester, so I am delivering.
She really takes a fancy to short, provacative dresses, which makes sense since she definitely has the legs for it.
I usually tend to find black dresses boring (during award shows, I sometimes want to rip my hair out and scream bloody murder," WTF IS WRONG WITH ALL THE STYLISTS IN HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!"). I am, however, loving her LBD choices. I find them to be extremely interesting and definitely over-the-top sexy (in a good way).
And can I say, she has probably one of the best shoe collections I have ever seen on a celebrity? Nicholas Kirkwood, Christian Louboutins, Givenchy? Hello!
My only tip for her is to take off all that clownsy eye-gliter. I have no problem with makeup, but she's one of those naturally beautiful people who can pull off naturally beautiful. She doesn't have the face that needs to be covered all up with (what my dad calls) "processed crap"; that is only reserved for Lady Gaga.

1st things 1st, Dad's pizza was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of pizza but my lord, that was the best slice of Chinese/Italian/American heaven I have ever tasted. I keep telling him he should make some kind of authentic Chinese with an American twist dinery, because his cooking is heaven.

I can't believe I haven't done any food posts, considering the food fanatic that I am.

Life has been quite frustrating. I'll breathe a huge sign of relief when all this blows over.

On a happier note, I got the leopard coat for $3. It's too hot and gignormous to wear outside, but it's perfect for lounging on cold nights.

This MV is as kinky as F$$$. I've stopped watching Gossip Girl (but still has amazing outfits) after better shows came on and I'm not a fan of Leighton's singing, but you've got to admit, it really gets you in the mood and the styling is perfectly Trashed-up-Blair-Waldorf. (Are those robin-blue, studded Givenchy heels in the clip with her in the car?!) I'm not too sure what character she's playing. Prostitute? Stripper? Call-girl? Lonely Rich Desperate Housewife?
I'd say watch the MV if your curious, but a fair warning, you'd feel like taking a cold shower afterwards. Let's say, I didn't even include the gold one-piece which came with her groping three other guys' assets, just so I don't get flagged.

P.S. Leighton is stunning and her personal style is pretty ballsy too. I'm thinking of doing an style-icon collage of her. And maybe another one of Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth. I adore Alexa Chung and Chloe Sevigny's style, but they have been lusted over headachingly over and over, therefore I will not. It pisses me off that I started lusting over Alexa Chung's style before she became Alexa Chung's style. And now all those lusting feels overrated too me. (It's like when a song you like is ruined after having it be put on repeat everywhere you go.)

P.P.S. Is there anyone else you would like me to do a style icon of?

P.P.P.S. I'm thinking of doing more inspirations, collages, artwork, and photography type stuff, cause I think I would get pretty bored just seeing my damn outfits for every post.

After going to a "viewpoint" (don't ask me, I don't even having any f%$%^ing idea what that is), I catch the sniffles. Have been sneezing and wiping and groaning all day. To make matters worse, I think my calf muscles and I are screaming bloody murder.

I'm also taking extra college classes to start finishing my college credits before I go to college.

I am a wack load of sense today.

I was in such a bad mood today. Apologizing to mom is unanimous. I hate PMSing.
They say pregnancy brings out the bitches in everyone. Well, I guess I'll never have children. I think I'll turn murderous.

P.S. Sorry about my terrible postings. I haven't found the time and the right moments to photograph my outfits. To be honest, I sometimes don't know how some bloggers can routinely post daily. Completely rude of me, but how the F do they manage life? I used to lay out my outfits the day before, to save time in the morning, but now I just cannonball to my bed. I used to have this "30 minutes before bed" thing: do some crunches, pushups (Yes. I excersise because I like to eat.), prepare for the next day (outfit, books, pack bag), and reading.
Now it's just: screw my abs, arms, clothes, brain. (Mind you, I still read, but not as much as I would like.)

Ok. I'll be sorry that I admitted this, but I'm impossibly in love with Damon Salvatore a.k.a. Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries. Damon/Ian is possibly the most charming, evil dead human alive. I hated Twilight, so it's unbelievable that I am this obssessed about a vampire show! But if you can find me a mortal with ruffled dark hair, beautiful amazing sea blue eyes that you can just get lost in, manly jaw, rock-hard body, alluring charming smile/smirk and half as lonely, devious, fun-loving, misunderstood as Mr. Badboy Salavatore... than Lady Gaga is really half-man.

P.S. Uuurgghh. Now I need to wash myself from the stalker-blood. (excuse the pun).
To make myself sound less like typical teenager, Vampire Diaries is the only drama-filled show (when really it should be a comedy with Damon's witty lines) that I continously watch... not-exactly-illegally online; I love my comedies more.
It goes like this (from the first show I click on CastTv--my current source of entertainment):
1. Modern Family (The show of the future. Cam and Mitchell, please adopt me.)
2. Vampire Diaries
3. The Big Bang Theory (Sheldon is my geeky crush.)
Edit: 4. Family Guy (Of course, the show that I constantly reference lines from.)
P.P.S. Oh. and fashion... yeah. Masks can make any outfit. So mysterious. The best things about anything is when you don't know the entirety. (That made complete sense.....) That's also why I love Damon. Sorry. Just had to get a last word in. :D

Wow. I really suck. Sorry about the 2 week hiatus. I've had A.P. Testing going on. (I only have 2 AP classes, how do some people deal with 7?!) Tomorrow is my AP Language test, so can't say much right now. Going to Palm Springs this weekend, so I'll have a bunch of... sunnyness for you all!
I've been iching to do an inspiration board for eons now, but can't seem to find the time and patience to do one. Hopefully soon in the future when things settle down. Still cannot find an affordable functional phone. Am without music or sound for 51/2 months now (as my computer does not have audio after it's been reformatted, ipod has been dead for 2 years now, and phone that played music has saw the light 41/2 months ago). *Sigh*

I was sick all of half of last week (still have the nose problem), conveniently during the teacher's strike. There's so much tension right now, dealing with the education cuts and all that. (I want to talk more about government issues, but I really don't want to give away false information or offend anyone.)

Anyhoo, I'm writing this research essay on a rather controversial topic that I don't want to reveal as I don't want to offend anyone. Really. Don't. Want. To. Write. This is the 100th endeavor that I have browsed through to ward off writing. Going back from facebook to blogs to facebook to email to looklet to lookbook to chictopia... yeah you get it.

P.S. I love the funniness of facebook. Now instead of going out on a Sunday evening, kids are locked up in their rooms on facebook talking about how bored they are and how much they want to go out. The only reason I'm not out is because I have asian parents.

Is anyone as sick of the LBD as I am? (I get obssessed with things easily, but also get sick of them just as easily.) I realize that it is a forever classic... but sometimes it can get so boring (my honest apologies to Coco Chanel). Once in awhile, we need something lighter (a shade lighter), something more fun, young...
In comes the LGD. No need to quote me when this becomes the second best acronym in the fashion dictionary. ;)

On another note, I donated blood today! They told me to not be involved in any "vigourous exercise for another 24 hours"... oops. I guess I shouldn't have walked a half-mile to work, come home at 7, forget dinner, and do an hour on the treadmill. Oh well, I never was too great at following directions anyway.

P.S. I had this lookbook forever on my style.com lookbook account, but marked as "private". In fact, this was the first or second (I forget) lookbook I have ever created. So this is old. I just changed the settings yesterday and was very surprised when they put it up today. Glad that the Vogue people like the LGD as well.

On Sister: Pink Dress (DKNY), Black Leggings (Calvin Klein), Pink Shoes (?)

I wanted to separate the animals from the people, so here are my little sister's outfit and mine from the zoo visit. I look like a complete tourist... must frighten off a lot of people. Plus those boots, very clickty-clackty, despite the minimal heel. Unfortunately, if you haven't noticed, I don't a have a closet full of shoes. I have possibly 5 pair of shoes that are wearable for the public. I bought the blazer from the thrift shop for $9, the satchel for ($5), and the vest for $2! Unbelievable. What's also unbelievable is that I got laid off from that place as a volunteer. That's how good I am, one month there, and I'm fired. They say that it's not me, but rather the plentiful amount of volunteers already there. Crap, what am I going to do about my internship for my class? Luck hates me.

On a happier note, doesn't my little sister look darling. She gets alot of hand-me-downs from various friends. Fortunately for her, she gets rather GOOD ones. I love the ruffle detail and the color on the dress. I'm not a fan of pink, but this is the perfect shade for spring. Obviously, Eileen has much better clothes than me.
