first post of the new year!
one more thing to add to my list of things to do before i die:
be kissed at the stroke of midnight at new years :)

2009 was a year of learning. of maturing. and most importantly, a year of tripping over obstacles but having the courage to get up afterwards. i've finally received closure, the huge leap has been taken, and now .. it's just time to live and slowly bring my new self out. the awkward years are almost over, it's time to really live, experience, and build the foundations.

happy new years !

new york city. the city of all worlds.
technically, today was the first full day here.
the areas outside of manhatten are incomparable with manhatten itself; which i will be laying my eyes on tommorow. overall, the trip was pretty smooth-- with the exception of a major snowstorm at the later half of the trip. shopping at the outlet mall(s) was amazing; so many good deals, except there wasn't enough time to stop by AND my mom's major retarded "standards". Anyhow, settling down.. tommorow's the big day! i can't wait. picture snap snap heh

ah, the teenage years.
just some epiphanies. :)

You might like Fresh Fragrances

Energetic, low-maintenance, and fun are three words that people typically use to describe you. You're equal parts grown-up tomboy and flirty heartbreaker. This indicates you need an effervescent sparkling scent to match your outgoing personality. "Fresh" scents are loaded with zesty fruits, such as lemon, lime, and grapefruit, plus crisp greens, such as fresh-cut grass and violet leaves. Some also have refreshing water-based aromas, reminiscent of the beach.

You might also like Floral Fragrances

Classic taste and style are your hallmarks, and we're betting that you're often described as elegant, charming, and sweet. So it seems only right for you to wear a scent that is as timeless as you. Floral fragrances, which are often associated with romance and femininity, can feature a single bloom or contain an entire bouquet of jasmine, rose, white peony, gardenia, and/or tuberose. Depending on what other aromas they're mixed with, these fragrances can be very flowery, soft and powdery, light and fruity, or even sweet and spicy.

maybe i'll give those a go. karmaloop.com was having a promotion code for $20 off a min $20 purchase. I missed it by a few hours. :(

Shopping afterschool today turned out to be unexpectedly fulfilling. I can contently cross out 'peacoat' and 'sweats' off my list now-- or not (hehe). Lunchtime theatre was quite entertaining, but not as spectacular as the scenes we saw last year by the 12's drama majors. Adam and Eve, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Winter stuff are being dug out, slowly, and the dry winter air has been irritating my skin and my hair. I need to get a real hair salon cut soon, masks, exfoliants, and order my straightener asap. Because honestly, taking care of yourself is the most important thing. What boyfriends? What true love? What relationships? How can you even speak of those, when you don't even truely understand yourself. Yes, we do get lonely. Yes, I by my own lonesome pisses me off sometimes. But really, if the base is not strong, the tower will always be shaky. If such an emotional requiring task starts off wrong, you will never receive happiness. I'm not against it. If it comes, it comes and I'll embrace it as an experience to open my world. If it doesn't, it's my destiny then. No need to get so worked up. Kay :)

Time to make a new email account for school, woohoo for Gmail and its extremely organizational mail sorting services!

Challenge | Roiworld.com

Spending so much time on a game like this, and even bothering to write a long "detail summary"... I am crazy. AF test tmrw . FML

the worldwide web is an amazing place to find great gifts for yourself, your friends, or your family. recently, i was sorting through my jumble of bookmarks when i found this site. i quickly browsed through multitudes of creative and aspirational objects ranging from jewellery to vintage satchels from the 1800's. though the prices are a bit high, these are unique pieces of art- literally.

after signing up to email updates on "etsy finds", here are a few things on my wishlist for christmas.

- KNIT FOR FISH tote bag
the cutest thing! it's perfect and sturdy enough for school, and it's really artsy and pretty. except it's white..

- korean puppy scroll pencil case

-PAISLEY PENCIL CASE!
i have always wanted pencil cases like these. and it's only 6 + 2/3(shipping) = 8~9$

-vintage LIMITED repro blues tiles patch

-handmade rings

i'll end there for now.
but for christmas/boxingday---
i'm looking out for

CHI
OPI Nail Polish
Ankle boots
Peacoat in dark grey
Cheap Monday/Lev(i) straight skinnies. in black and dark blue respectively.
Thick wool stockings or flower stockings
Oxfords

now if money will come in a little easier...
