Things are hectic. I am once again behind on school again and am not performing well. My mind is always elsewhere, wishing I could be somewhere else or studying something else. I cannot wait for the day when I can travel around because I hate settling down.
Seems like never though.

Collecting Dispersions

mood: tired
So the surprise that I mentioned two blog posts down, was that I'm going to Europe! Compliments of my aunt from PV. You can read all about it > here <.
I have to remember to sew pockets tomorrow, go to Daiso, check out all and pick out a camera that we own, get some disposable cameras, and .... gee there's so much to do I don't remember all my tasks at the same time.
I'm a little upset we have to ride Delta with a layover coming back, instead of direct flights with Air France. Oh well. I am thankful I get to go to Europe already, and that I shouldn't complain about first world problems.
Oh! And instead of London, I'm making a detour to Zurich by EuroStar and then fly into Milan. Yee! So exciting!

Chopped

Currently: chatting online
Listening to: the sound of the keyboard's clicks
I got a haircut today. And it's absolutely dreadful- emotionally. It's about 3 inches below the shoulder. Meh, but the service and the salon was absolutely wonderful.
I needed the hair cut though. My sister said with the long hair, I looked as if my stress level was over and out.
Anyways, I've started a new blog here I don't think it's very successful or what I had intended but it serves.
I hope I start shooting in 35 mm soon again.

mood: overheating and irritated

Summer session finally ended, and on a well (not perfect though) note. I spent two days in Rancho Palos Verde spending the first day brunching and the luxurious Terranea Resort and ventured around Hollywood for the remainder of the evening. The day after, we cozied up in a tucked away french cafe for breakfast, and spent that day touring multi million dollar estates and watching super hero movies.

view from my bedroom in PV Soon after the two day escape to PV, we decided to make a spontaneous getaway to San Francisco. We spent 4 nights in SF venturing around downtown, Sausalito, and Tiburon.
I'm finally back and settled, however I think I have one more surprise around the corner. I'll update you guys later with that when September nears.

What Kind of Bird Are You?

now playing: Romeo and Juliet Overture-fantasy | Tchaikovsky
mood: nervous and excited for different reasons

Today B and I went to see Moonrise Kingdom after lecture, and if you’re into stuff by Sofia Coppola or a fan of Wes Anderson (yes it’s written by him) you’ll be deeply in love within 5 seconds the film starts.

I love the setting (fictional) and the shooting location (Rhode Island). The props and costumes are simple yet cute. The characters have that Royal Tenenbaums feel (since it’s by Anderson), where they’re just dramatically annoyed and irritated all the time and keep things to a “few-elaborated” words when conversing. Then there’s always that dramatic love-seperation theme. If you’re more familiar with Sofia Coppola, then I can just tell you it’s the man version of her films with less haze, and more of a yellow-vintage filter to the film. It’s really really wonderful and worth your money, so I recommend the movie to you if you’re looking for something to watch.

My favorite character is Suzy, ahaha surprise surprise, because she reminds me of me at school and such. Plus her mentality is relatable, although i can promise you I have never stabbed anyone with a left hand scissor…

yet.
okay. at least not in real life.

Monday

currently: cleaning
drinking: 王老吉
Today was the first day of summer session, B picked me up and drove us there at 8am and so the routine will follow for the next five weeks. We have a lovely little book as our required text and costed only $16.
I'm still trying to tidy up things at home from NYC and school, so much things.
I ended freshman year third quarter on a good note, or an improved note I should say. Thank you to my super genius boyfriend for helping me in math- if my tard brain didn't slip on that one problem and didn't lose 20pts automatically, I would've gotten an A+ on my math final... (*´ο`*) =3

I started a mental list of places-I-want-to-go-now, here it is (the short version):
-deelux (selling old clothes)
-stricklands
-joe's italian ice
-movie theaters (to watch Moonrise Kingdom and Brave)

yep. I made that in my head a few hours ago, and I am very sure it will expand. Oh The Vegan Stoner added a new post, seems interesting. I should try it out sometime. (plus this from a while back)

allergies

This place is literally a hell-hole for me. I am tired of eating asian-like food all day, I don't even like asian food to begin with. And I have allergies now, severe allergies after living here for 10 months. My eyes are feverish, I can use up a whole roll of toilet paper just in two hours of sitting here at my desk, my palate burns the most in the morning, my ears hurt, and I sneeze quite frequently.
I wanna go home.

currently: refusing to study for midterms
It's 1:30AM and I'm sitting here reminiscing about Disneyland adventures, dreaming about getting a new iPhone, and a nice pack of Polaroid 600 film.

So Blake got me Noir Tease from VS as a one year gift ^_^ It smells really nice, a little musky undertone but has an overall vanilla-pear-floral scent. I think the packaging and design of the bottle is cute. It has a lace sheet and a pink atomizer. The fragrance might remind you a little of viva la juicy eau de parfum but it's not as strong and fades away faster, but my favorite part about it is that it leaves a 'sweet natural' scent, a little like if it was your (lol yes) natural scent, or maybe lotion-applied-from-last -night-still-on-you smell. It isn't like most perfumes where it's so strong it gives you a headache or irritates your nose.

Anyways I think I should keep studying. Here's the nice song.
