My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
drinking: earl grey tapioca milk tea
currently playing: Stereo Love | Edward Maya ft. Vika Jigulina
Friday frenzy-The crêpe party kicked off pretty well. I had my fail cooking moments teehee... And it was pretty fun playing psychologist acting like a bunch of loonies
Sleepy Saturday hmm.. I can't really recall what happened during the day. But I went to the DSC holiday party at night; cookie decorating, festive food, ornament paintings, raffles, and the norm socializing.
Stock-up Sunday- slept in late, lunch at P&O, and then went to stock up on skii apparel and equipment.
Monday mornings spent at Panera Bread with Chris. We managed to scare off everyone sitting behind us, and we hogged the big table and both the outlets the entire 6 hours while we were there. It's actually quite a calming way to kick off winter break. I don't really like to work (school work) at Panera Bread as much as I do at Starbucks. But I guess sitting there with my laptop and papers all spread out, conventionalizing with Chris, and gazing out the big glass window at the non-stop pouring rain is rather amusing; not to mention the huge mug of latte washing down the last of my pain au chocolat. It's a nice combination.
Teeming wet tuesday-yesterday; I finally went shopping for myself yesterday with my mum and sister. Chris was going to join but she couldn't. I picked up a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, fuzzy oversized shrunk knit, and pencil skirt at Nordstroms. Pain au chocolat en baguette for today's trip at Vie De France. After walking around and looking, we mall hopped to the Spectrum. I bought a beautiful ring at H&M, box top from CottonOn, macarons (pistache de Sicile, raspberry mascarpone, thé earl grey) from la napolean for today's trip, and a pair of black ankle cigarette pants from UO because they were on sale.
Hmm, I tested the nail polish that Chloe and Chris gave me. The dark blue one (chloe) is beautiful and extremely elegant looking. And the pink glaze one (chris) is effortlessly chic. Thank you (:
Even though I'm the type to be free and much of an 'explorer'-never wanting to be in one place too long, I feel that a part of me hidden deep within me is this person that finds comfort in schedule and routine. Like how I always order the same thing at the same shops; and how I always resort to doing the same thing in the same orderly fashion. And how I always fancy sticking to a certain manner of procedure, or going to the same places over and over again. Maybe it's the nostalgia and the memories that were first captured. I don't know.
Anyways- break has kicked off pretty well, I've been watching segments Harry Potter on blue-ray every day. (i have yet to watch the newest one out.) I think I should hurry up and get going with my supplement essays. I'm about done with my CU app, so good luck to myself on that one. In an hour or so; I'll be in Vegas, and tomorrow in Brian Head. Hopefully it isn't cold to the extremes. Okay! Got to go finish the last bit of this essay and pack my bags!
ciao!

when someone says summer,
i instantly recall back to this past summer. the very excited feel of the first few weeks of chemistry class, and the new lab manual, and the feeling of being able to own your own pairs of googles...then it turns into this horrid stomach turning memory of dreading to go to class, not wanting to fail another test, or confront my personal life. it was a time when i just wanted to live in a bubble, study what i wanted to study, and have my happily ever after.
but instead it was polluted with the chemical-contaminated air with the afterscent of janitor cleaning supplies and the empty clunking of distant footsteps slowly shuffling down the hall of the 200s building. it was the slow closing of doors and sudden running sounds...quickly disappearing.
and then it was the need to disappear every morning after exiting my mom's car. it was the need to find my way into the library to hide, and protest the 8 hour classes. it was my way of rebelling lectures, society, and personal problems. it was dashing up the half turned carpeted-stairs; light footsteps grazing the carpet as i make a circle around the entire upstairs in rush to find a quiet study room where i can just throw my belongings onto the table and throw my entire body half on the table and plop myself into a chair and weep my insecurities away.
it was the rare visits of grace wuang in the summer trying to comfort me. it was the quiet notefolding, origami thankyou notes passed around as whispers of sincerity were exchanged.
it was the really difficult labs that were eased by Steve's jokes accompanied with victor's remarks and kayane's shaking of her head. it was the moments when the professors let us off the hook because we had established a connection with him. it was the other teams asking steve and i how to do experiments because we were always done first. it was the talks of woodbridge, marching band, and college. it was the times Kayane Victor and I shared after class while waiting at the bus stop benches. The times where we epically failed a test and tried to comfort each other.
It was when I didn't really care whether this D+ was better than my F- last time. It was when I just wanted happy. When I wanted to be care-free. It was when I wanted to release this weight and pretend nothing happened. It was when I hid my sadness deep within me and put on the fake smile for Victor, Steve, and Kayane.
When someone says 'summer', it's the nostalgic chemical smell of cleaning substances and the distant clunking of one's footsteps down the hall as I rush frantically to class, and the sound of fluttering loose leaf notes at the end of lectures when I'm the last person left in the classroom.

thursday
listening to: the harold song - ke$ha (new default)(so freaking good) ♥
drank: venti caramel apple spice (aka holiday lights in a cup) & tall pumpkin spice latte (aka thanksgiving in a cup)
(Cristina Olano)
over 1000+ reblogs on my tumblr.
I need to sit somewhere else in graphics so I don't need to keep rushing for deadlines.
Today after school Charlene, Michelle and I went to Starbucks for the buy 1 get 1 free on holiday drinks 2-5pm. The three of us consumed: 2 sandwichs, peppermint hot chocolate, pumpkin spice latte, caramel brulee latte, caramel apple spice x2, & a pumpkin cream cheese muffin; the baristas probably thought we were crazy. Instead of hiding inside the cafe, we sat outside trying to appreciate the California winter weather. We talked about potentially attending the same ?ivy? Uni, or at least in the same city/area in the east coast ♥ , living in the same apartment, and starting a business together. I thought that the conversation was extremely cute and lightening. Chris came after misu/char left and we had more drinks...
Anywho, I'm awfully behind on my essays, CIF game tomorrow, HP on sunday if i finish 3 essays, I miss New York, and I really love the heavy fog in the morning north Irvine's been having this past week. I wish those could stay forever.

wednesday
currently: was at starbucks, now at home. was working on essays with catherine, but now solo.
drinking: most recently, a grande caramel apple spice, no whip.
now playing: Younha - At First Sight
Late to school again. Walked in right when the substitute called my name.// Went off to lunch with Ashley's friends today, it feels so weird and uncomfortable.// I was in MC1 today after school, I taught myself how to make pdf files. On a side note-the school scanner is a little bit weird when it came to scanning my instaxes. Chemistry lab today; quite random. the guys didn't really let me do anything so I just sat and watched them fail repeatedly...Essay session at Starbucks with Catherine was somewhat good for me since I did a lot of rewording, and extremely successful on her part due to the fact that I was her motivation so she finished all her essays (congrats).
I wish I could spend every night doing homework/studying at a coffeehouse by myself. I dislike acquaintances. I dislike knowing people. I want strangers. Strangers in a big city. Big city people, rushing, entropy, unknown connections, loudness, chaos, destinations, confusion, diversity, beauty.

I'm living the bohemian life. Did not go to school today.
The only thing I miss in life is Manhattan. The end.

coffee and vanilla ice cream on a hot winter day.
*all photo credits belong to tumblr and their owners
i miss this so much so much every day. hahah ohhmygosh i am so absurd. i still have my NYC photos to upload, but I can't immediately because my dad has the laptop with the pictures in them.
anywho; today was pretty good and fun. after school gordon and i walked to pavillions while char&kat breezed along on their bikes. thank god for make-shift parasols and headwraps. starbucks was closed! so our alt. plan was getting starbucks icecream (2/$6!) vanilla + coffee split among five people. we giggled over random things like credit card scam, stuck-up elementary schools who cuss at and talk back to their parents, teasing Joon && others i forgot already! D:
then we decide to go, so we split our ways but I was doing a shoot with katrina, so I took the most epically long hot-weathered walk all the way from Pavillions to Meadowood Park to meet with Katrina and Char. We sat there for what- 10 min? Then I didn't want to walk anymore so I went by the church next to CV, and wall hopped (with the help of charlene) over into Katrina's backyard.
the shoot was Venetian Mask themed, but head shots only. i think it was pretty good. but somewhat rushed because i had to get home by 4. anyhooo pictures will be online as soon as katrina's done editing.
♥
ps, sorry for not updating as much. i'm really busy with college apps and essays. and marching season is ending soon, so is 2010. I've been doing/planning for shoots, managing club affairs (club events are esp. hyped), art prjts, and TRYING NOT TO FAIL SCHOOL!!! but! i promise i'll keep you guys updated once every few days
