it's been a while...
so the blog layout is UNDER CONTRUCTIONNNNN. i'm trying to draw the background, dates, banner and stuff. but its all taking a while. homework sucks. midschmerms are coming up (next week...eek!). and i strongly believe nap times are essential to maintaining my sanity. so between all that, not to mention PEOPLE troubles (already christina? its only the second month of college...), i don't really have time to draw. oh and i don't have my sharpies or coloring pencils. though they are on their way! so for now, bear with us and suffer through this layout.
you know that link? that link everyone's been posting on their facebook statuses? this? this link SUCKS. not because the content itself is inadequate (though the lack of a mention about lkf did initially upset me) but because OHMYGOD I FUCKING MISS HONG KONG. sigh. i'm not going to dwell on my homesickness. i won't.
i won't.
i won't.
i'm enjoying a cup of twix latte (latte with a shot of chocolate and caramel...yum:9) and a blueberry muffin in my double visions in classics class. its a class where everyone has their computers, we're all on facebook/youtube/whatever other websites we like to frequent and we pipe up once in a while with a seemingly well-thought out response to the reading we did, argue a bit about how we're interpreting the book so to seem we really read the book, and we totally understand it. its a good class, because it reminds me slightly of astbury's ap english class, though of course it doesn't quite compare because no one can be as amazing as astbury. but nonetheless, i really enjoy this class. mostly because i can update my blog, drink a cup of delish coffee, and munch on a muffin. everyone's sitting in an oval, computers open, typing every now and then (probably to respond to a facebook wall-post) and their eyes looking towards the teacher in an effort to look like they're paying attention. the readings are...dry and so fucking long. but it is a literature class, what else did i expect... and i enjoy writing the essay, because its so reminiscent of the ap english writings we did. sigh.
i'd just like to take a moment and showcase NGL's and my new purchases! the thing i actually enjoy in the states is the convenience of online shopping. i can now shop online virtually (ha virtually, see what i pulled there? i like that i amuse myself easily. makes my life sunnier and cheerier) everywhere, instead of having to send them to my brother or pay 239042 dollars to get international shopping.
anyway onwards!
first and foremost, from karmaloop:
The Cinderella Braided Wrap Bracelet & Headband by Disney Couturewe had been eyeing this piece for a long time. back when we were back in hong kong and in lane crawford. oh how i miss the luxury of 852. the malls here are pretty much shit, whereas the malls in hong kong are The Shit. anyway online here on karmaloop, it's so much cheaper than when we saw it in hong kong. we bought it immediately :) NGL and i need to stop getting the same things. seriously. i bet we can wear the same outfits with the same accessories.
last night, as i was watching grey's anatomy and painting my nails (or attempting to at least, there was SOMEONE who would not leave me alone and could not use fucking google), NGL went and bought herself a pair of 'serena' boots. namely, these:
Chinese Laundry "Strate" Boots in Greyshe spent an hour obsessing over them, asking me if there's a heel, what the hell a split suede means, whether she should get them or not, whether they looked good or not. just general this-makes-me-want-to-headdesk type of things. but yes, she got them, thanks to me. she is apparently, incapable of googling anything.
afan got me two jackets :)
numbah1:
for some reason, numbah2 isn't on the website anymore...but its grey and gorgeous.
anyway yay!
tgif much people? i always hate mondays and fridays because i have three straight classes that never seem to end, and i always seem to get more irritated and sleepier as class goes by. monday are the fucking worst because i have all my classes then, 6.5 hours of class. 6.5 hours worth of complete bullshitting and pointless wishes for a bed. i'm just glad to get friday over with. the weekend has finally arrived :)
i've been spending a lot of time reading other people's blogs, browsing through etsy and deviantart, which i tell you, can take you forever. you just keep clicking on more and more links, which lead you to even more links, so basically, i waste a lot of time these days on the internet.
reading other people's blogs has made me once again wish that i kept a diary/journal. i don't mean an electronic one, but a handwritten one. i've always wanted to keep a journal as such, to doodle in it, to write bullshit in, to stick pictures i like in it, etc, but i just never had the patience and willpower to keep up with it. i guess a few of the more difficult obstacles i had was that i didn't want to ruin my new beautiful journal and its pristine clean pages, and that i didn't know what i wanted to write in it. but the thing is, now i realize, who the fuck cares what you write in it? its your journal, so you can draw ugly gnomes eating babies and no one will care. no one will judge you or read it (unless they steal it, then that's a different thing) so its up to you what you want to place in it. i'm a sentimental person and i tend to keep movie ticket stubs, concert ticket stubs, receipts, post-its, random notes passed during class, paper wristbands, etc. and it'll be nice to keep them all in one place, and to be able to read back in a few weeks, months or years and remember the good times i had. (cue corny music!) i also tend to read a lot of quotes and it'll be good for me to have a collection of it written down, so lest i need any inspiration, motivation, imagination or whatevertion (just thought i'd continue with the pattern of the -tions) i can always have a pool of ideas to draw from. i also have a lot of random thoughts. like why did they name blueberries blueberries when they named raspberries raspberries. why didn't they name it redberries? they named blackberries blackberries. (...see what i mean? i go off on tangents that don't relate or cohere to what i was initially talking about.)
wow this is a long entry.
oh and i'm going to start placing labels on my entries (you should, too ngl) to make archiving and searching up old topics easier.
