no comments. lol.

Yah, so I'm back.... I guess I just couldn't stay away... ionno... but this blog has like, been a constant for me, and right now, I am in desperate need of some constants... my life is way to all over the place for my liking at the moment.

sooo... on the influence of a friend, I'm not gonna fool myself by attempting to maintain daily entries... instead, I will share the major stuff that goes down in this life of mine... hopefully I can get a digital camera at some point, or learn to put my blackberry pics onto my computer... cause to be totally honest, I see alot of awesome stuff in my day to day life that I am always like, damn, Someone other than me needs to see this...

so ignore the grammar, the spelling, etc... this is just me saying I hope you didn't forget about me... lol.

...peace, love, and rainbows.

Wow... it's been 1 year.

So, this is officially my blog's 1st birthday... blogsary if you will... this pas t year has been a roller-coaster ride... i met some of the most amazing people ever... i've seen some of the most beautiful places... i've experienced stuff that really left me with lessons i will uses for for a lifetime... i've entered in, and exited out of my first serious relationship... i had my first, and second, and third experience of a close friend backstabbing me and there being no sign of reconciliation... I've learned so much about myself... and i don't regret a thing.

As i look to this new year, i have so much i want to accomplish, it's just a matter of when i will get it done... lol... i got a new apartment, which is my first serious step into independence... i will be getting my personal health in order, as in i am going to be going to the gym and/or doing yoga... i will make relationships/hooking up less of a priority within my mind. and focus more on bettering my self and living my best life... i plan to start writing more, even if it's just a blurb here and there, or a letter, or a birthday card... i will refine my "circle" of friends... i say refine, because this past year, i was friendly with everyone, and "friends" with a ton of people... i find in the end, i only felt a real connection, a strong connection with a certain number of people... and those people are the ones that will be in my circle for this new year... my motto: "Those in your circle aren't always in your corner, as circles aren't squares."

So, now that all of this has been said... i want to thank all of you who have stopped by to read this, and other posts throughout this past year... even if you don't know me, thank you... i want to thank Steven for having encouraged me to start this blog,... Jasmine, Damaris, and Justin for having been consistent readers... and Chris, for having inspired the majority of posts that i have made [and for continuing to read, if you have in fact still been reading this].

This was a fun ride, but now it has to come to an end... mainly because next year, i will be crazy busy, and not be able to blog as i would like to... so i will be making the move to tumblr... what makes tumblr any different u ask? well, for starters, the interface is a lot simpler... i can make posts from my cellphone with videos, pics, and audio [i call a phone number and make the post]... there is no actual need to write as it is for blogger... by this, i mean, a photo blog could work on blogger, but when i want to make a 1 line post or something, it looks really naked, and orphaned on the page; tumblr keeps things looking nice and clean... lastly, tumblr connects to my twitter, and i love twitter... lol.


see you there. starting in september. =]

This just occurred to me, my first few posts were of me counting down until when i would leave DC and fly away to San Francisco... and now, i find myself in the very same position... so as an homage to my very first post, in which i introduced myself... i will do the same, except updated... lol.

hi... did you miss me?

okay, I all... I'm back... umm... kinda reluctantly so... I have big plans to move over to tumblr... i have about 3 friends who have either suggested to me to move, or have made them themselves and i see how much more simpler it is than blogger...

so I am announcing that on August 15th, I will shut this blog down... like, it will still be available for viewing, but I won't be posting on it anymore...

for those paying attention, August 15th would mark the 1 year anniversary of my blog. lol. but you will find much better stuff on my tumblr... i won't give you the url just yet, though if you wanna stalk me, it won't be hard to find it. =P

in other news... I'm now a member of ontdFF... for those that don't know what it is... check my sidebar...

second... i got my first apartment... i move in on the 24th... i share it with two of my friends... check below for pics of my room...

neways... i am going to go back under my rock until the 15th... unless i find interesting things to post here... lol...

aurevoir.

This is not a goodbye... this is a see ya later.

I'm taking a break from this thing called a blog from now until I go back to school... I have a few things to focus on... namely, my job which starts tomorrow, the apartment I'm getting with some friends at school (we sign the papers this week), getting my fall/winter wardrobe completed (it's about 70% there)...

So like I always say when I go on sabbaticals... don't be a stranger to my archives... be sure to check out the blogs of my friends and the various websites I frequent listed to the right... and I'll still post twitter updates... which can be found below on this clever little widget I included so I can make quick updates.

I can't say I completely agree or disagree on the matter of NeoConservatism...
but I can say that it is a political philosophy that I would like to educate myself about.

I don't believe war is a way to bring about peace,
but I do believe we must become proactive with
our peace keeping efforts rather than reactive...
so in that sense I agree with NeoCon.

This video gave me a lot to think about... though it is only 10m long.
Once again, thank you so much Sonny G for posting this.

Okay... Let me run a few things by you... try to keep up.

First... watch this video...
it's my favorite song by Katy Perry other than Mannequin.




Then look at this picture of Zooey Deschanel.



Now... watch this clip from Kathy Griffin's show
My Life on the D-List which features actor Matt Dallas.



Now to the purpose of this post.

1. I know Thinking of You is Katy Perry's song, and it's only natural that the singer actually star in a music video for their song... but to be completely honest... Zooey Deschanel should have starred in this video... the only time I watched it, I kept thinking, gosh, Katy Perry looks so much like ZD its crazy...
just put her in the video instead of Katy... at least she can act... and at that, allow Zooey to sing the song as well... she has the talent [fyi, besides acting, she's in a folk duo named She & Him].

2. Why did they cast Matt Dallas as her love interest/husband??? It's no secret that he's gay... well, he's not out... but it's no secret he's gay... I'm not one to speculate about people, or believe in "signs" or "gaydar" but in this case, I'm making an exception... case and point... the above clip from Kathy Griffin's show.
If anything they should have cast like, Emile Hirsche or someone... anyone other than an obviously gay male... it does nothing to help Katy's faghag image [not that that's a bad thing... i love my hags... some of the closest friends I have in this life]...

3. Thats all... I'm going to bed... its 2.45a and I'm torn between either having a marathon of The O.C. tomorrow... or shopping the sale racks at Urban Outfitters...
I really should save my measly 30bucks... but I do need to get out of the house...
ugh... dumb Global Economic Crisis.

Here's something to get excited about...



The days of summer might be drawing to a close, yet the evening hours relent. Hence, the perfect time for LA based contemporary fashion brand Hellz to introduce their “Kicks After Six” capsule delivery. A concise yet bold collection, this limited 6 piece line extends Hellz’ ongoing graphic themes incorporating the idea of empowered defiant women that exude nothing but vicious confidence.

Hellz Creative Director, Lanie Alabanza-Barcena expounds, “Inspiration for the graphics were drawn from familiar faces of fashion icons and iconic fashion brands who celebrate them."

We are reaching the end of another week...

Ordinarily, I get really excited for the summer, and I take advantage of every bit of it... however, this year... I can't continue to pretend like it's all good. Blame the Global Economic Crisis; blame the fact that 2/3 into the summer, my job is FINALLY starting; blame my overbearing mother and my delusional father... but I am just anxious for it to be over already so I can get back to the life I left behind in California. I wish Time Turners actually existed, so I could speed up this charade of a summer vacation.

Enough of the pessimism... I have laundry to finish,
and a driver's test to take in about 14 hours... so I should probably get off this computer.

I hope the rest of your summers are faring better than mine has...
or at least you're finding ways to make the most of it.

P.S. The above pic was posted by Miley Cyrus to her twitter [@mileycyrus], I thought it was pretty...

OMFG!!!

I never realized that the HOTNESS that is Robert Pattinson [Edward Cullen in Twilight], played Cedric Diggory in the fourth Harry Potter movie till just this very moment... I am probably not revealing any big news to anyone, but this was mind blowing for me... I want to go watch HP4 just because he's in it... OMG!!!
That's All.

I'm desperately trying to resist the urge... // Noteworthy.

Le Smoking

This is a blog dedicated to superb photography featuring cigarettes.

I'm not a smoker... at least not a cigarette smoker...
but for the past few months, I have been desperately fighting the urge to light up.

I have a desire to become a social smoker...
a cigarette in one hand, and a glass of vodka in the other...

Cigarettes cause cancer kids... don't do it.

Congrats Meaghan for winning Canada's Next Top Model cycle 3...

Though I didn't like Meaghan at all during the competition, I'm satisfied with the decision.

I still wish Maryam had made it to the final 3... she would have so made it to the top 2... and then she would have lost it to Linsay... but whatever.

Time to watch Project Catwalk [Britain's answer to Project Runway]
Warding off television till Gossip Girl returns in September.

Currently reading Lost In The City by Edward P Jones... looks to be a good book.

Seeing Harry Potter in about 12.5 hours at some point [it's currently 1a as I type this]... lets hope its good.
