Time to come back

2010-04-15T23:28:00.001-07:00

I miss you, you, you, and you.

but I especially miss you.

My Sunday nights are very lonely now, I think it's time you all came back.

"Roger darling, I'm ready for my close up!"

A couple of months back, I did a photo shoot for two friends of mine. The theme was Disney Villains and I was picked to portray Cruella De Vil.
Here's the outcome:

Photographer: Rachel
Hair/ Make-up / Styling: Jessica

Rachel is an amazing young photographer, these pictures would not have happened without her creative talent. You can check out the rest of the Disney shoot here and here as well as Rachel's other projects. This girl's got lots of talent! You won't be disappointed.

I'm With Stupid

2010-03-06T12:25:00.000-08:00

Like balloons, we are filled with hopes and dreams.
But.
Over time a single sentence creeps into our lives.
Don’t be stupid.
It’s the crusher of possibility. It’s the worlds greatest deflator.
The world is full of smart people. Doing all kind of smart things… That's smart.
Well, we’re with stupid. Stupid is the relentless pursuit of a regret free life.
Smart may have the brains…but stupid has the balls.
The smart might recognize things for how they are. The stupid see things for how they could be.
Smart critiques. Stupid creates.
The fact is if we didnt have stupid thoughts wed have no interesting thoughts at all.
Smart may have the plans... but stupid has the stories.
Smart may have the authority but stupid has one hell of a hangover.
Its not smart to take risks… Its stupid.
To be stupid is to be brave.
The stupid isn't afraid to fail.
The stupid know there are worse things than failure… like not even trying.
Smart had one good idea, and that idea was stupid.
You can’t outsmart stupid. So don’t even try.
Remember only stupid can be truly brilliant.

Be Stupid.

I know it's stupid, but these ads are genius.

this is MY city.

no duh.

Why helloooooo Norwegian athletes. I will definitely be looking for the rest of your team.

Yeaaaaa, I got to hold the torch. No big deal..........

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

After walking around downtown today and seeing everything that's been done to the city, I can honestly say that I am so proud to be a Canadian. But more importantly, I am so proud to be a Vancouverite. A few months ago I wasn't complete supportive of the Olympics because I knew the city would be uber busy, and it would be impossible to get anywhere. But today really opened my eyes. I can't wait to continue exploring all the sites for the next 2 weeks. The best part about today, though, was the fact that I got on TV for the first time in my life. I am so proud of myself.

More photos will be uploaded soon!

Flannel shirt: Urban Outfitters($10!), Fedora: Forever 21, Vintage Frames: True Value Vintage

Pretty much when I saw this flannel at UO, I knew I had to have it. The color drew me in right away. But I think what I love the most are the little stud details on the shoulders.

I think they're pretty cool.

Over this Christmas break I unfortunately was only able to see 2 of the 6 movies I wanted to see in theaters:

Young Victoria
Sherlock Holmes
Avatar
Up in the Air
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Invictus

Out of those 6, I only saw Avatar and Doctor Parnassus. I have to say both movies were enjoyable, but both were really really long.

At 162 minutes, Avatar was great fun. Near the end. I dunno, you may disagree but I just felt the movie lagged in some parts. Yes, the dialogue was uber corny, but it's an action film, you don't watch it for the intelligent dialogue between characters. Overall I think it's worth your money. If you wait for the DVD, you just won't have the same experience unless you've got a 50" or bigger screen TV. Because you need a big screen in order to be amazed by the special effects.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is 122 minutes. Which I feel is unnecessary. While Avatar is filled with action to keep you entertained for hours, Imaginarium is not. The effects are once again well done, and the acting is pretty good, I was especially surprised by Lily Cole in her feature film debut. I thought she would be really annoying, but she was impressive. Heath Ledger is very good looking of course, and Johnny Depp is a dream (too bad he was only in the movie for 10 minutes). The downside to the film is the overstretched story. In some parts I drifted off and lost interest. It's a very very strange movie, which is why I'm still unsure if I like it or not. To conclude, if you're a fan of Ledger, then see it. He's really good in it so it's unfortunate that he wasn't able to appear in the entire film. Otherwise, if you like simple stories without twists and turns, then you can skip this one.

IT'S HERE

IT'S 2010.

i hope you all had a good time in '09!!!

now let's hope 2010 will be even better :)

The Kennedy Center Honors aired last night, and of course I didn't miss it. (I even recorded it)

anyways, every year I always find the presentations so moving. The honorees are always so deserving, and when I hear about their life stories and accomplishments, it makes me want to be an American too. Not that I'm not proud of being a Canadian, I love my country, but Americans are so proud of who they are. And if there's one person who loves his country to the death, it's gotta be 'The Boss'.

to anyone who has been to one of his concerts, you are one lucky person. i'm praying for the day when he tours again. If you've never heard a Bruce Springsteen song, then you are missing out. His songs are stories, they take you on a journey, you don't feel so alone when you hear his voice singing about your life, about the things you go through, they give you hope. That's why he's The Boss.

“People deserve. . . the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.”

-Bruce Springsteen

There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted

one word: PALLADIUM

so at first I thought I'd use my savings to get myself a good pair of Doc Martens, but after I spent some time tonight on the Palladium Boots site, I have completely changed my mind. I am for sure saving up to get myself a pair of Palladium's. I still love Martens, but Palladium Boots are just too good to ignore. If you haven't checked out the website, then go! check it out now! And, if I may, you cannot leave the site without watching their exploration videos. So far they only have four, but they're über interesting. My personal fav is the Missile Silo Homes.

for some strange reason I only came across these promos now, and I gotta say they make me very happy. it might be the colour of the photos, or it might be how fun and exuberant Lady Gaga looks in them. whatever the reason I am very gaga over Gaga right now. I can't even count how many times I've listened to 'Bad Romance'. I'll most likely be making more posts about her and her insane style since I am now very inspired by her look.

2009-11-27T18:16:00.001-08:00

so I thought I'd stick to the same old poses................

but.........

I was pretty damn bored today, so I thought I'd try out action shots. All I really did was move around a lot while my camera was taking photos. I'm quite impressed that they didn't turn out super blurry.
wearing: navy blue blazer-Value Village ($7!!), light blue raglan-American Apparel, high-waist denim skirt-H&M.

However, it was really cold today. And although I've lived in Canada my entire life, I still cannot get used to the weather............

so I put on the warmest over-sized cardigan you can imagine

ACTION TIME!

and i saved the best for last.......

2009-11-23T21:57:00.000-08:00

For now, at least.

I've unfortunately been incredibly busy with school......... okay maybe not. I've just had no inspiration, absolutely none.

Just a few details of what I have been doing with my life so far:

VANCOUVER FASHION WEEK

just some highlights. nothing like NY Fashion Week, but I was glad to be at my first fashion show.

KISS

I never ever ever thought I would see Kiss in concert, however my dad surprised me with tickets the night before the concert. Yeah, I love my life. Mrs.Gene Simmons herself, Shannon Tweed, showed up before the concert started. And to be completely honest, she is a hot mom. Just thought I'd put it out there........ The concert was a BLAST, and I think I had an ever better time than I did at AC/DC.

WOLFMOTHER

So I started listening to Wolfmother A LOT, in these past few months and when I heard they were coming here for a concert, I totally freaked. Luckily I had enough cash on me to pay for my ticket, so my super cool aunt and I hit up the concert this past Saturday. Funnest concert ever, so far. I literally had so much fun, I never sat down once. And the crowd was so rowdy. People in the front row never stopped jumping up on stage, by the end the security guards pratically gave up. I'd definitely go see them again.

"For those about to rock, we salute you!!!!!!"

2009-08-30T20:50:00.000-07:00

I unfortunately have to keep this short because I still need to pack for my annual trip to Whistler! So as you can see from the pictures, I went to my first AC/DC concert!!!! And lemme tell you it was a night I will never forget. So a few months ago my dad surprised me with tickets, and it never hit me that I would be seeing Angus, Brian, Cliff, Malcolm, and Phil live on stage until I was at the concert last night. The Answer was their opening act, and they were pretty good, but when the lights went out, and the train rolled onto the stage, the crowd just went INSANE! The first song of the night was of course Rock N Roll Train. And it was very intense. The rest of the list included Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, For Those About to Rock, you know what I mean. And they came out with two encores. Only two? you might ask, well yes, but what do you expect from a bunch of rockers from the 70s who put on a 2 hour show, straight?! And there were even fireworks! I loved it, and I am so glad I was able to experience AC/DC live before they retire for good.

Sixteen Candles
"When you don't have anything, you don't have anything to lose. Right?"

The Breakfast Club
"We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all. "

Weird Science
"You know, there's going to be sex, drugs, rock-n-roll... chips, dips, chains, whips... You know, your basic high school orgy type of thing. I mean, uh, I'm not talking candlewax on the nipples, or witchcraft or anything like that, no, no, no. Just a couple of hundred kids running around in their underwear, acting like complete animals. "

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
"The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school. "

Pretty in Pink
"This is an incredibly romantic moment, and you're ruining it for me! "

RIP JOHN HUGHES

Your movies never cease to help me out on a bad day.

Haven't blogged in a while. And it feels good to be back! I just haven't had much inspiration in a while and I've been busy enjoying summer. So today, I finally finished my skirt! I have to admit that I am totally in love with it. Hope you all feel the same way too.

Anyways, two days ago I finally watched all of "A Fish Called Wanda" and I loved it. If you have not seen it, go watch it! It's hilarious, definitely one of my favorite comedies.

2009-06-28T20:57:00.000-07:00

So today I watched a bit of the movie "A Fish Called Wanda" and I gotta say that I liked it a lot. It stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and John Cleese. It's a comedy mostly about a jewel heist and the people involved in it. Anyways, I found it quite funny, but it's definitely not for kids. Next time it's on TV, I have to watch the full movie. And I've realized how good of an actor Kevin Kline can be, he totally deserved that Academy Award.

wearing: vintage jean jacket, banana republic shirt, home-made skirt(my mom sewed it for me, and I completely love it!)

RIP

You were only on one season of Charlie's Angels but you ended up becoming a HUGE icon of the seventies. Even though you're gone, your legend will continue to live on. Words cannot express how tragic your passing is, and I'll always see you as a major fashion and beauty influence. You will be dearly missed Farrah, rest in peace.

Michael Joseph Jackson
1958-2009
RIP

The King of Pop passed away at 2:26 pm today, and it was definitely a very tragic and surprising death. He influenced a lot of people's careers and inspired many to dance. His songs will continue to live on in people's cars, stereos, iPods and everywhere. Thanks for the music Michael, rest in peace.

"I've been in the entertainment industry since I was six-years-old... As Charles Dickens says, "It's been the best of times, the worst of times." But I would not change my career... While some have made deliberate attempts to hurt me, I take it in stride because I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me."

a few days ago I dug up my denim jacket from a few years back. guess what? i now never leave my house without it! it's such a great accessory to have, just as long as you don't pair it up with more denim. and the sunglasses i bought because they remind me of the pair Audrey Hepburn wore in 'Tiffany's".

so I've been trying to get back on track with the Bacall & Bogie films that I've borrowed from the library, but other stuff always keeps coming up.

anyhow, I'm watching a biography on Jane Fonda so i guess that's all for today folks.

denim jacket: vintage, plaid shirt: hand-me-down, leggings, sunglasses: wet seal.

so because I have the best parents ever, I got to meet SELENA GOMEZ herself on Monday.

A few of my friends waited for 5 hours after school on Friday to meet her, and I didn't find out about it until Saturday! So I made a vow that I had to find her before she flew back to the States, I didn't even care about an autograph or photo, I just wanted to meet her and say something to her in person. Not really a lot to ask for, right?

So my friends and I decided we should go and try to find her. Unfortunately, I had a doctor's appointment at 3:30 and I woke up at 12pm! I ended up calling my friend and telling her that because we both woke up late, there was no point, and our other friends were busy.

Anywho, my mom said I could still go if I brought my lil sis with me too since she's the real Selena fan. So I said fine, as long as I get to go right? My dad wasn't all too happy about taking us since there was no guarantee that she would actually be there, but guess what? SHE WAS

I got there at like 6:33 (so specific, i know) and I missed her! She had already come out to take pics with fans and sign autographs so I just caught her walking on the other sidewalk. "HI SELENA" I yell, except I wasn't really that loud because for some reason I felt kinda weird yelling at her.......
Anyways, I was pretty disapointed because I couldnt even get a picture of her on the other sidewalk. But, lucky me, these two girl who'd been there before, talked to Selena's bodyguard for me and he said that she was coming out in 5 minutes because she was done filming for the day. So........she came out and I yelled "SELENA! CAN I HAVE A PICTURE?" And holy shizzles, she was sooooo nice! She came right over and took like 5 pictures with me and my sis. Oh, she also signed my magazine, the June/July issue of Teen Vogue because, ya know, she's on the cover.

So that was the highlight of my week. The first celebrity I've ever met in person. Apparently Zac Efron is coming in 1-2 weeks, so I am praying that I'll get a picture with that hotty. Hahah, and when the TWILIGHT cast comes back in August, I am for sure going to 'actually' look for them.

live long and prosper

2009-05-20T16:40:00.000-07:00

Guess it's time for my review of 2009's STAR TREK!

(Just so you all know, I've 'officially' seen this movie TWICE. )

So, personally, I absolutely completely incredibly totally loved love loved and enjoyed the movie. And trust me people, I thought Star Trek was the stupidest thing ever before I watched this. For all non-fans, and I mean ALL, this film is a great way to understand the whole concept of the franchise and why there are such a thing as Trekkies or Trekkers, whichever name they prefer. J.J. Abrams was able to make this film so believable. I know it take place in the future and all, but it's a believablee future. One where humans and aliens live side by side but we still ride motorcycles and drive in cars. I took my mother to see it for Mother's Day, like I said, and my reaction when it ended was "WOW, that was insane! I have to watch the originals now!" And the second time I saw it, well, let's just say I had a whole new understanding and appreciation for Star Trek.

Now, time for the actors:
(Because I really don't know much about the other characters, I'll stick to the main ones, Kirk and Spock)
CHRIS PINE as Cpt. James T. Kirk: I honestly thought Chris Pine did very well as Kirk (and I'm not saying that because I also think he's the hottest man alive at the moment). Now, I still haven't seen the character when he was played by Shattner, but from what I saw and from what I've read, I though that Pine sort of played Kirk his own way. He portrayed his as a kind of brash, loud, cocky and very full of himself. Which made him all the more attractive and enjoyable to watch. To sum it all up, this version of Cpt. Kirk is the type of guy you'd love to go out with, but would never ever bring home to Mom or Dad for that matter. Congrats to Chris Pine for succeeding in this role!

ZACHARY QUINTO as Spock: First of all, to everyone who saw the film already, how much more alike could Zach Quinto look to Leanord Nemoy when he first played Spock?!?!?! Quinto was fantastic in this role! Not only did he portray Spock just like Nemoy, but he too put his own spin on the character. In the original 60s TV series, Spock is an emotionless Vulcan (but they all are/were), but in 09's Star Trek, Spock has more depth to him. He is waaaay more emotional that originally portrayed, which is what I liked the most. Quinto showed off a lot more of Spock's human side. Well done Zachary Quinto!
Now, as I said in the last entry, I was going to touch a bit more on Chris Pine.
Holy shizzles ladies! If you never thought Chris Pine was sexy, dreamy, steamy, or attractive in any way before, or if you only thought he was slightly one of those, then you will love love love love him once you walk out of the theatre! I did see Princess Diaries 2 and Just My Luck, and I personally did not think he was anything special, but ohmagawd, I have a new and HUGE appreciation for this guy now.

I'm guessing he's not as blond as his character Kirk is, which is probs why his hair is so dark in pictures, but I really think he should just stay blond, because it brings out the gorgeous blue in his eyes. Never before did I think I would be typing in Captain Kirk into Google, but here I am now, practically searching up that subject almost all the time.

(I just had to add this in)

But I'm completely devastated now. Apparently Mr.Pine was spotted out with Audrina Partridge herself. Now I don't want to be like any of those tabloid sites, but COME ON. I apologize in advanced to all Audrina fans, but she does not deserve Chris Pine, and he can do so much more better than her. I really liked him with Beau Garrett, they were an adorable couple. Audrina and him are not. It just seems to me that she's might possibly be using him to gain fame, especially since she's getting her 'own' reality show (she can't live without the cameras I see). I just hope that Pine opens his eyes and sees the many more beautiful and attractive girls in Hollywood, or in other countries. Ones that aren't just skin and bones, and who sound intelligent when they open their mouths. Another apology to Audrian fans, but I just don't like her. Maybe if I knew her personally I might, but from what I've seen from every episode of THE HILLS, she doesn't seem like the type of girl I'd want as a 'close friend'.

dead and gone

2009-05-14T21:07:00.000-07:00

why do the best TV shows always enjoy killing off very lovable characters?!

I just finished watching Grey's Anatomy, oh boy did I cry.

It was just so depressing, how could Shonda Rhimes just kill off O'Mally and Izzie on the same episode on the same day!
UGH, I am so upset, I am going to miss Katharine Heigel and T.R. Knight so much. The only sweet thing was that they met each other in heaven. WHY WHY WHY though????

I thought for sure that McDreamy had saved her life, it was so obvious! She had her memory back, she remembered who she was, Alex and her were gonna live happily ever after..........................

Honestly, who knows where the show is gonna go now? That was the group! Now it's all over......
I guess this means the show can focus more on McSteamy and Lexie, which isn't bad choice seeing how they're practically one of the main reasons I still follow the show :$

Believe it or not, I stopped watching Grey's after the beginning of the 3rd season when all the new interns came in. But once the crossover episodes aired, I WAS SO HOOKED again. Really, I just wanted to see Addison and Derek on the same show again, but I found my love for Grey's Anatomy during those episodes, so it's all good. I now have something to look forward to on Thursdays since I gave up on Smallville and Supernatural, and Ugly Betty isn't doing much for my taste either.

bye bye :'(

BTW: Star Trek was AMAZING. My next blog will be my review of it, and how incredibly dreamy Chris Pine is ;)

turn me loose

2009-05-09T22:12:00.000-07:00

so for the first time in a long time, I had a very stress-free day. and trust me, if felt very very nice.

Anyhow, I haven't written and entry in a while. I've had nothing to write about, no inspiration. But it's a Saturday night, what else am I gonna do?

I've recently begun to read Lauren Bacall's autobiography called "By Myself and Then Some" and I highly recommend you people pick it up and read it! Life in the 40s was so incredibly different from life now. Now I'm nowhere near finishing the book, but it is so interesting. To be honest though, I only wanted to read it because I wanted to know more about her marriage to Bogie. But now, I've been able to bond much much more with my grandparents. I can completely talk to them about the 'old days' and the movies and actors from 'back then'. Even my vice principal was so shocked that I even knew who Lauren Bacall was. Hahah, it always makes me laugh when older people discover how much I know about the 40s-70s, but ya know, I get it from my mom. She was exactly the same when she was my age.

Speaking of my momma, she agreed to watch STAR TREK with me tomorrow. And if we don't, I will be devastated. No that's too big of a word, but I'll still be upset. I am dying to watch this movie, and I bet you people anything that after I watch it, I will try my best to become a Trekkie! Hahaha, it happened after I watched Star Wars Episode IV, I was so hooked, I watched the originals every night.

And speaking of movies, I watched CASABLANCA a few weeks ago. Holy shizzles, I totally understand why it is the best movie ever. Bogie and Bergman were absolutely fantastic! And "As Time Goes By" is my new favourite oldie. I cannot explain more how obsessed I am with black&whites right now.

Thought I might as well fit this in here, I've been trying my hardest to get the 'Farrah' but unfortunately, I think my hair is still too short....
I love Farrah Fawcett and totally idolize her, it's such a shame she's still suffering of Cancer, I really hope shegets better! But on a lighter note, here's some pictures of the wonder that is Farrah.

Honestly, how can you not love this hair style?!

Kate Jackson's dress is such a modern style now, I've seen it everywhere. Just goes to show there's nothing completely original out there anymore.

can you say STYLE ICONS? I'd love to have those wide-legs, I really need a pair.

may you stay forever young

2009-04-26T21:35:00.000-07:00

mind the title, I'm listening to some Bob Dylan (back when you could actually understand what he was singing).

so I just found out that Heidi and Spencer wed for real thanks to Brian Boy! God, that makes me so mad. Sorry to all the Speidi fans, but I was really hoping for a break up this season. Darn. i really though Spencer and the bar tender were gonna hit it off, but like he said, brunettes aren't his type. Darn again. Heidi could do so much better than that blond slob she now calls a husband.

speaking of Heidi Montag, have you people heard her new single?! Haha! oh jeez, it is too addicting.

so I'm trying to be at least a bit up-to-date with my music. trust me, when all you listen to is classic rock, you kinda forget that people still make good music in the 21st century.
Like Metric! I completely stopped listening to them after Poster of a Girl stopped being the best song ever.

BTW: My ode to Gregory Peck and all his fantasticness will be coming soon! Just as soon as I've seen enough of his movies.....

so to continue my Audrey Hepburn movie obsession, I've successfully watched Roman Holiday 3 times from beginning to end. my mom thinks i need to get a life now.

if you didn't figure it out already, this entry is dedicated to the life and style of Audrey Hepburn:

Sabrina. I love the last outfit!

Roman Holiday*sigh*the most romantic movie, ever.

"i love, your funny face"
TIFFANY'S

the 60s

which is why we love you!

PS: in the very near future, I will have an entry dedicated to Gregory Peck. (I've been non-stop watching his movies, too)!

i walk like this 'cause i can back it up

I love Beyonce. Tuesday night, I headed over with my besties to watch Sasha Fierce herself perform live. Words cannot express how amazingly amazing that concert was. First of all, Beyonce is HOT. What else is there to say? Her legs, face, the way she talks! Oh man, she was so gorgeous in every single way. But the definite highlight of the night: "What's your name?" "KEVIN!!!!" "And what's my name?" "MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!" "SAY MY NAME" "BEYONCEEEEEE!!!!!!!" This dude threw a paper onto the stage, Beyonce wipes her sweat on it, gives it to the guy, and then that conversation happens. Trust me, it was hilarious.

Anyways, I recently watched Sabrina and Roman Holiday. How much Audrey Hepburn can I take? I am obsessed with her movies, especially Roman Holiday. How dreamy was Gregory Peck in that movie??????? I totally understand why my grandma named my dad after him. She has a HUGE crush on that man. And William Holden and Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina! Honestly, I was rooting for Will to win Audrey's heart, but it was so obvious Humphrey was gonna get her. For once, I actually found Humphrey Bogart charming. Now I just have to watch My Fair Lady. I've had it for a while, but I haven't found the time to watch it.

Yesterday, I came home to find my very own turntable in my room! I love my grandpa so much. He was able to set the whole thing up, speakers and all. And he even brought over some more vinyls!!!! I've been nonstop listening to Boston and The Moody Blues. Now I need some Who, Zeppelin, AC/DC and of course, Bruce Springsteen. I've been searching hard for a copy of Born to Run.

NEED IT, WANT IT, NOW

meet me tonight in Atlantic City

2009-03-27T21:31:00.000-07:00

I've pretty much been non-stop listening to Bruce Springsteen since I got back from Palm Desert. (hence the title of today's blog) Don't ask why.

So today was my first full day of school since the Break and I was so out of it. It was raining today, which definitely did not lift my mood so I was reminiscing about the desert, and how much I loved the dry heat. I had French last block(gross) and Choir before that. After today's class, I know now there is no way I am taking that as my elective next year. No way. What sucked was I totally lost my voice 5 minutes be fore class started. My mistake for talking with Jess about Grey's Anatomy. Trust me, all you have to do is say McDreamy or McSteamy to the both of us, and we might just go crazy thinking about those two words and what they really mean to us.

Last night I watched a very very very very amazing movie called "Running on Empty". And the reason I stumbled upon it and decided to watch it was because an 18 year old River Phoenix was the star. I actually cried at the end of the movie, that is how touching and emotional the film is. The whole time I was watching it, though, I could not stop thinking about why River Phoenix had to die. He was such an amazing actor, and maybe if he was still alive he could stop his brother from becoming the joke of Hollywood. And on the plus side, River was really really cute. Too bad he passed at the age of 23.

The only upside to today was the fact that it's a Friday. I didn't go out or anything, but I did get Breakfast At Tiffany's from the library. Oh you do not know how overly happy and excited I was. The first time I watched this movie, was on my iPod. Definitely not the most comfortable way to watch a 2 hour movie. Afterwards, I realized I completely idolize Holly Golightly(Hepburn's character). If only I could look like Audrey Hepburn for a day, if only...........

Bye bye rainy days

2009-03-18T22:09:00.000-07:00

Finally, I'm getting outta this place. Heavenly sun, come to me!

Shopping and swimming(still don't have that bikini bod yet) and DISNEYLAND, in 8 hours it will be take-off for moi.

I'm praying I've got everything I need packed, I made like 4 lists.

So today, I hung around with my 2 favourite LFAers, and the sibling of one. I introduced them to some of the best independent stores here (that included a super cool record store!) and after we headed for some sushi, although I ordered chicken teriyaki. There was so much to eat, I didn't even finish it, but I was so full I didn't even eat dinner..........oh well, sucks for me. I was also introduced to 'coffee bubble tea' it wasn't bad, but I still prefer choco over any other flavour.

Since I have to wake up at 4am (WTF) I must sleep now. Well, it'll all be worth it once I hit that gorgeous sun. I swear though, it if rains at all, I will be so pissed......

See ya in 8 days!!!!

If U Seek Amy

2009-03-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

Yeah so I kinda just figured out why that Britney song is so controversial. After researching through Google I discovered what 'If U Seek Amy' stands for. Please people, who the hell cares what the title actually means. There are far more women degrading, racial slurring, swearing every other word songs on the radio. But are the parents of America protesting against those songs, I don't think so. Seriously, if it took me this long to figure out what is so racy about it, then chances are majority of the kids who've listened to this song do not know what it means, and probably don't give a damn either. So parents, if you're so worried about what your kids will learn or "discover" from listening to this song, you might as well ban them from listening to the radio altogether.

On a lighter note, I owe my local library 10 buckaroos. WTF?! Okay there is no way I owe them that much. I returned all the DVDs I had out. This is messed up, I bet it's all the work of that creepy check-out lady. She hates my guts, it's so obvious.

I'm praying it doesn't rain tomorrow, I don't need that right now, please God. So 2 more days and it's the dessert and sun for moi. Yet I don't have the bikini body I was hoping for, darn. The fact that my mom made fish&chips tonight doesn't help. So now, I'm listening to 'E-Pro' by Beck, a song I've heard so many times but didn't realize it's full potential until I started hearing it on the "I Love You Man" commercials. Speaking of which, I really want to see that movie. Although it is about bromance, it looks so hilarious!

Alrighty, well my sister is eating ice cream, and because I have my wonderfully painful cramps, I am most definitely craving.

crazy

2009-03-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

Alright, so the most eventful moment of my day was when I went grocery shopping with my mom. I was just happy to be out of the house!
In 3 days I will be gone from this place, though. Finally! It feels like my Spring Break hasn't even started yet.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to sport a bikini at my decided vaca. destination :(
I don't have as much confidence as other girls I know........ So I guess it will be a one piece and a tankini for me. Darn, if only there were more track workouts, I wouldn't be so ashamed, hahah then again, who am I kidding???

So the parents have told me that we will have one day dedicated to shopping, wonderful. One day. Oh well, I looked up what was at the Palm Springs outlet, nothing excitingly good besides VANS and CONVERSE. Note the blog before this one, I really need to go to Converse.
The rest of the trip will consist of 1 day for DISNEYLAND (last time I went, I was an incredibly chubby 10 year old, so I am most defs excited for this), another day dedicated for hiking (oy) and another for a gigantor water park. Although I calculated the time, and there is a 97% chance the deadly red thing will be visiting me during that time. Can you say killjoy?

So what am I doing now? Listening to old school Britney Spears songs that's what! I was thinking about the songs I used to listen to when I was, well ya know, little. And I remembered when Christina, Britney, N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and S Club were the coolest people in the world. So I went on imeem, typed in Britney Spears, and now I'm listening to Crazy, Stronger and Oops I Did It Again. Seriously people, whatever happened to bubble gum pop? The catchy lyrics and tunes are just the most addicting things ever. I now know why I was such a huge Britney fan. Too bad her tickets had to be uber pricey, well that's why I'm going to see Beyonce right?

it's your party and it's not at your house? "yeah, you got a problem with that?"

2009-03-15T21:31:00.000-07:00

Alright, so Friday was a very awesome day.

R and K, the best people ever, planned what was probably the best birthday party I've ever had.

Words cannot express my gratitude.

So I totally had a good time. The BEST were all there, and that included my favourite LFAers and VCers. On the plus side, I had something to wear that was not a repeat offense! Boo ya.

On the down side, the heart-to-heart sorta turned into a bash-to-bash. Then again, I did leave before it was over, so I don't know the details of what went down the rest of the night.
And yes it's true, I was not the last to leave. My father had work the next day so we negotiated on 9:30. How messed up was that? Not even 9:45.

Did I mention I was also 2 hours late? Hahahah, and there was almost no food! Lucky for me, Sheila saved a whole box of pizza, THANK YOU. And then the ice cream cake was just the best. Hamtaro was on it, hahah I love my friends.

So yesterday, I literally did nothing besides being a good Catholic and going to church.
After dinner my parents started watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High. They obviously don't know that I've already seen it. But I pretended I hadn't and stared at the computer like a good child.

So my awesome party planners are both in the States as I type this. What total bull. They don't come back until the day I leave, ugh you guys both suck! Well, I'm sure I can last 4 more days in this dreadfully rainy/snowy bore.

11:00

2009-03-12T22:59:00.000-07:00

So I went online browsing for some Converse and came across these beauties! I now know that I definitely need to save up in order to expand my collection......

PINK FLOYD shoes! I have never seen these before, must have them.

Converse JAMS. How can you not love 'em?

So I typed in The Who for Converse in Google images, and this came up instead. WTF?! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this! But I cannot find them on the Converse web site. Unless they haven't come out yet. I just have to have these. HAVE TO.

Anyways, this is what I was originally searching for ever since I saw them in Teen Vogue recently. This shoe will most definitely be one of my near future purchases.

tylenol is useless

2009-03-07T21:47:00.000-08:00

yes, it's true, I have discovered Tylenol does nothing to help pain, a cough, or whatever.

I lost my voice today, how unfortunate. The only way I've been able to communicate is by using weird sign language. Luckily, my family can communicate just fine.

So anyways, today was also my dad's birthday, and we did nothing, just like mine. I was supposed to see WATCHMEN with him today, but I read in the Metro News that it had the 'best sex scene in the history of film' or something like that, and I realized there was no way I was going to sit through that with my dad sitting beside me. Can you say 'awkward'?????
Instead, we complained about my sister having her friends over for no specific reason, and eating us out of house and home. Who knew LGs could eat so much?
I should have been studying for French today, but ya know, it was my dad's birthday, and I was terribly under the weather. Eh, as long as my overall grade for French is a B, my parents don't care.

My throat has been killing me today. I try to cough but it does nothing, just makes it hurt even more! So my mom told me to take the Day-tim Tylenol for dry coughes, ugh it hasn't done anything for me.

Whenever I did try to speak, I literally sounded like Al Pacino in The Godfather III. So annoying.
Hopefully tomorrow, I'll have some of my voice back.

"If I could turn back time", "forever young!" haahahah

2009-03-04T21:24:00.000-08:00

Yes well, today is my birthday, which means I am a year older. How wonderful -____-"

Don't get me wrong, I had a good day, nothing out-of-the-way special, just a birthday greeting by all my friends.
Although I was quite surprised when I got home.

First and foremost, my mom cleaned out my whole room! I was so surprised she wanted to touch any of the junk I had in there. But she did, I love my mom for that.
And then for dinner, my dad came home with pizza (really, really good pizza if I might add) and a cake!
Jeez, never thought I was gonna get a cake tonight.......... Cookies&Cream ice-cream cake, my personal fave.
Now that I think of it, I bought myself a Dairy Queen blizzard after school :$
Oh well, it is my day of celebration ;)

So really, I didn't do anything particularly *special* but it was an alright day.

Now, I'm sitting at my computer, still sore from head to toe from today's work out, but I'll live to see another day.
Anyhow, after I came home to see my room clean, I ended up watching Life on Mars. My absolute favourite show on TV at the moment, there is nothing better. Except yesterday I found out that ABC was axing it!!!! How can they cancel a brilliant show like this?????? It's so tragic, really. So I'm guessing they're going to find a way to wrap up this season so they can make way for a very new and stupid sitcom or reality show. *deep sigh* Oh well, that's how competitive networks are.

Tonight I will reminisce on my childhood. Huh, 14 years of my life have already past. Strange.

Well, as Rod Stewart ends singing in my ear drum, I must answer his question : Yes, Mr.Stewart, you 'were' sexy, when you were young. So now I think it's time to throw in the towel, you're too old to continue touring.

Until another day

Peter Pan sucks, I want to relive my childhood.

2009-03-03T20:50:00.000-08:00

So I've started my countdown now. The last day of being 14 years old? I beg to differ.

This day was so incredibly pathetic, I almost went home halfway through, but I decided to give this day a chance, see if anything good would come out of it. Well nothing did!
So now I am sitting here, soar from head to toe because of my wonderfully painful track practice.

And I must ask the question, why was I not automatically born physically fit????

So tomorrow is a day of celebration, for me anyways. But, I must say that I have picked
up my dad's it's just another day attitude towards birthdays.
Really, it just symbolizes that you're getting older. And once you are 'old' you don't exactly enjoy what the celebration is for anymore.
Peter Pan on the other hand never ages. He sucks, I bet Benjamin Button wishes he was blessed with that curse instead.

Since I've been asked by more than 5 people "what am I going to do for my day?"
This is a list of what I would like to do, not what will actually happen

stay home, wrapped in my most comfortable blanket, with cake and a mug of very creamy hot choco watching my most favourite films from the Disney Renaissance

on the exercising side, take a bike journey to wherever.

shop shop shop and SHOP, I think I hear H&M calling my name......

eat out at the Keg. My un-vegitarian self is craving some steak or kalimari

Speaking of Disney movies, I must finish watching Beauty and the Beast. It's way overdue, but can you blame a girl for reliving her childhood as much as she can?

French can wait, yes it can.

2009-03-02T21:15:00.000-08:00

Well, as I put off studying for French for the umpteenth time, I have decided to write my first blog.

Yes I know, me having a blog.........Strange, seeing as I don't exactly know how to blog. And I was never particularly good at writing in a diary either. I've probably had 10 different diaries, many were never written in (what a waste of paper!)

So yesterday was the First of March. Nothing special, just your average Sunday. Except, (for anyone who actually cares and keeps track of these things) it was Roger Daltrey's birthday! And I completely forgot about it. Shame on me since I am the biggest WHO fan. I was very dissapointed that Rock 101 did not decide to wish him a happy birthday like they usually do with a rock star's birthday. Oh well, I guess it was something I had to celebrate with me, myself and I.
why don't all men look like him?
Happy Birthday Mr.Daltrey!
(finally, I've found a famous Pisces)
