hanging out with albert tonight!

A bit too adventurous...

Hollywood always seems to be crazy.

-Liz and I took the metro, and we were really confused. Its actually quite sad because we’re familiar with the area. Whatever.
-met a cute couple vacationing from France who had to help us out.
-had a long-ass conversation with some dude (who happens to the most beautiful man I have ever seen, ever) working at American Apparel about our favorite drinks, drinking, and drinking with Russians. We had matching glasses. Except my Wayfarers are real!
-ate some delicious froyo at Ce Fioré.
- took sweet ass pictures with Batman and the Joker!
-walked to Melrose
-had the best convo about music ever
-vintage shops
-found an adorable dress with bow prints from Rojas for only $40! I plan on returning immediately to purchase that shit.
-urban
-got a text from elizabeth regarding the new Academy Is... cd. according to her, its "delicious"
-cheap ass lunch from 7-11
-walked all the way back to Hollywood & Highland, which was gruesome, the motherfucking sun cooking us in its glory. I’m perfectly oven-toasted for school.
-took the wrong fucking bus
-got on the right bus, which led us to some station
-waited for the bus, that never came
-got hit on by this creepy old man who kept referring to us as “babes” and “babies”
-proceeded to walk all the way back to liz’s house
-gave up and just waited for the bus
-saw the same creepy motha’ucka on the bus
-finally got to liz’s house

The oodles (not really) of goodies i came back with:

cardigan, $5, vintage. "i'm in charge here" shirt, $0.50.
mustard skirt, $30, aa.


So in conclusion, today happened to be my favorite day of summer.
just random and fun and weird. hollyweird.

Oh, and one more thing. DESTROKK.

Cleanse

Only when the questions become m o r e important than the answers will the solutions e m e r g e. . . . . .

I remember here

back from art class. and back from vegas.

things have been hectic and hot!

and surprisingly, i feel very much awake when i shouldn't have a single ounce of energy in me left.

i got home from vegas at around 2:00 this afternoon. went to art class at 6:30. i'm working on a couple paintings at the moment. i really wish i could post some of my newer art, but nothing's even remotely close to being finished.

anyways, veags was alright. i think i got darker. it was really hot there, though. i was sweating uncontrollably. i miss Cheran. i watched "Mystere" by Cirque Du Soleil and it was truly remarkable. i also got some outlet shopping done.


tuesday, august 19. school fucking starts! ugh.

fuck school. i know senior year will the the shit, but i don't want to go back. especially not now. i'm really enjoying myself far too much to have any desire to go back. i just want summer to stay, to be longer.

i just feel like i'm in my prime and having the best times of my life. i don't have single worry in the world, and i just feel so happy, and so alive, and so free. i don't want to have to make the switch from the spontaneous and lively to boring and gruesome. ...regarding the schoolwork, anyways.


i need the smell of summer, i need its noises in my ear.

Skating isn't really my thaanng.

so today, after a gruesome afternoon of intense cleaning, i hung out with my favorite people ever: lizzy, shelley and kelsey!

i was supposed to learn to skate. but i suck. terribly.
so instead, we ate an unhealthy (but delicious) meal at taco bell, my favorite.

and then, we laughed our asses off while we remembered those good old days, and talked about "coffin grandma" attire. for those of you who who are unfamiliar with the whole coffin granny thing, i apologize. its an insider!

we always have a good time, but i keep beating myself up for not being able to skate. i mean, its just a fucking board!

...i guess i just can't get that in my head yet.



tomorrow, i leave for vegas.

Moab

i just downloaded Conor Oberst's cd.
its actually his first album released under his real name.
i'm a big Bright Eyes fan, and so far this has been no disappointment.

i always love his work.

for those of you who haven't heard of this genius lyricist, please check out his work!
Bright Eyes, Desaparecidos, Commander Venus, and now, Conor Oberst.
he's been in a couple other projects, but these are just the main ones.

last night, my insomnia kept me up to produce this:


guess who? this was among the many shitty doodles i did during the dead of night.

also lately, i've been getting the worst headaches!!!
they last for no longer than a second, but it feels like someone's taken a hammer and knocked the crap out of my head.

shit hurts.

Chop Chop

i really would like to see "Pinapple Express" at midnight tonight.

and i also got the sudden urge to cut my hair. i want a bob!



new art coming soon.
i broke my motherfucking camera, so after i take it to the shop and all i can hopfully get them up.

this post was rather pointless. sorries.

I can't think of a better title.

i'm in a writing mood.


i just got back from liz's, and had one of the most random yet funnest days of summer yet.

we had red mango, and went shopping at a garage sale and target.
we also made carmina the sickest birthday cake ever!

i'll also probably be painting today and tomorrow night because i have lots of incomplete shit just lying around.

but first, i am going to watch "Charlie Bartlett" since i need to return it soon. i am excited. i heard some good stuff about it, but i'll have to see for myself.

tomorrow, liz goes to palm springs to visit her dad, and i'm going to shell's house to celebrate carmina's birthday.

DELICIOUS.

Cigarettes and chocolate milk

"cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger,
a little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me"

its 1:00 a.m.
i'm sitting alone in the dark, in my room listening to my summer playlist. just feeling irrationally happy (and beyond exhausted).
the delightful and warm voice of rufus wainwright fills the room as i try to avoid any typos...

just taking everything in.


lots of things have happened since my last post.
i'm really sorry i never seem to write anything new, but i've finally found some time to do it.


my cousin, mariel left this morning.
she's heading back home to the philippines and i miss her very much.
its that one thing that i hate about meeting my cousins i haven't met before. i always seem to get attached and can't bear the fact that the next time we'll see each other again will be in a couple of years.

so for the past few days, i've been off with my family just doing our regular family-themed activities.
Sea World, shopping, and loud-ass asian family parties.
it doesn't seem like much, but when your cousin is sleeping over for three nights, you only seem to get 3 hours of sleep per night.

i hope that explains the lack of posts.


i watched Dark Knight again tonight. with my mom. while my sister was in the line for the release of "Breaking Dawn" (i think), the latest addition to the Twilight series thats seemed to get all my peers crazy obsessed... yet, i still don't feel any motivation to read the book myself.

i'll probably wait to see the movie, and if i enjoy it, i'll read it. maybe.


its now 1:15.
i'm hanging out with Liz tomorrow before she visits her dad in Palm Springs.

goodnight.
