Good lord, I take a lot of photos.
Last Friday in a nutshell: solitaire on my iPod, Kate hiding from the camera, Allah’s vintage low-rider bicycle, my breaking a bottle for the second time, Kel in a dress, and Michee and Nan trying to make me awkward at Tapsi ni Vivian (where we seem to end our nights all the time), talking about best weight loss supplements and loooove love love.
I made you a mixtape. Perhaps like Carina, I’ll make this a regular thing.
Most of these songs are about cities— New York and Los Angeles, specifically. Some are just songs I like listening to while walking at night and some, songs I love but haven’t listened to in a while. I wanted whimsical yet upbeat and songs that make me feel giddy.
My iPod’s poppy-happy “In the city” playlist:
1. Nolita Fairytale – Vanessa Carlton
2. Free Fallin’ – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3. Everywhere – Michelle Branch
4. Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms
5. Black and Gold – Katy Perry (Sam Sparro cover)
6. Seasons of Love – Rent OST
7. Downtown – Petula Clark
8. Generation – Emerson Hart
9. First Train Home – Imogen Heap
10. Santa Monica – Savage Garden
11. The Boxer – Simon & Garfunkel
12. London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do) – Heather Nova
13. Better in Manhattan – Casey Dienel
14. More Than This – 10000 Maniacs
15. When The Stars Go Blue – Ryan Adams
16. Big Yellow Taxi (feat. Vanessa Carlton) – Counting Crows
17. Nowhere and Everywhere – Michelle Lewis
18. The Camper Velourium I: Faint of Hearts – Coheed and Cambria
19. Sunken-Eyed Girl – Mike Doughty
20. Wish I Stayed – Ellie Goulding
21. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered – Silje Nergaard
Aaaand some photos:
Eh, I meant to draw mouse ears on this photo and call it “country mouse” but I forgot and I’m too lazy to do it now. Anyway, I wanted to wear this today but the dress’s fabric was too hot. I got really sweaty (you’d think I just had a go and worked out on refurbished fitness equipment) just taking photos out in my balcony. So I changed into this:
The pink shirt is really, really thin. I bought it as a beach cover-up but I find it very comfortable for sweltering city weather.
Claudia Schiffer photographed by Erwin Wurm for Vogue Deutsch (November 2009):
Erwin Wurm is an Australian artist. Since the late 1980s he has developed an ongoing series of “One Minute Sculptures,” in which he poses himself or his models in unexpected relationships with everyday objects close at hand, prompting the viewer to question the very definition of sculpture.
January 29. We are always at Cubao X.
The usual people:
~*~My Famous Friend, Miss Elyoo~*~
~*~Kel~*~
~*~Drew~*~
Lala ~*Allah~*~
~*~Helga~*~ (+ some random dude Kel wanted a photo of).
Just a bunch of photos and they’re mostly of Elyoo. Posting and publishing because I need to do something with these photos and not just leave them in my hard drive (I’m too lazy to post and tag people on Facebook).
1) Anne’s cooking!
Every once and a while, our very domesticated friend offers to cook for us (sometimes, she offers to clean our houses, too). She had her apartment all to herself last night so a few of us came over for chili-cheese sticks of doom, chips, beer, and a cheesy horror movie.
It looks like salsa, yeah? That’s actually the chili that I had to pick out because the cheese sticks were too spicy! I made a mess.
2) My lovely aubergine loafers.
I’ve been jonesing for a pair of loafers for the longest time and I finally bought a pair. I imagine wearing them with white lace tights, heh. The one thing I kinda don’t like about this pair: they have half-inch kitten heels. A bit hard to walk in.
(Yes, I have veiny feet and veiny hands!)
3) Bubble tea!
I can never have enough of bubble tea! <3
4) The Acer Aspire.
In pink and white! Looks like candy.
5) My morning skin stuff.
Left: no makeup. Right: with a bunch of skin goo, sans makeup.
If you think I’m ugly without makeup, you’re not the one who has to wake up next to me for the rest of your life, k.
6) This day:
Got to talking about Hanson on Tumblr so I went to look for this photo. November 30, 2004, Aliw Theater backstage. Taylor’s hand on my shoulder! <3
7) Taking a bazillion photos of myself for no reason at all, yey.
Here, kitty kitty.
Too fast.
My hair’s brown again and is obviously (:P) itching for some blonde highlights.
For the first half of this year, I’ve decided to grow my hair and keep my bangs. This isn’t as easy as it sounds as I have the tendency to ask for more inches off whenever I find myself on a salon chair. I guess I’ll have to learn how to say “Pa-trim ng bangs lang” and then restrain myself from saying anything else.
This is my ~*~dream hair~*~:
Emily from Skins! I don’t watch the show (I hear she’s a lesbian and she has a twin sister?) but I saw this photo on Tumblr a couple of weeks ago and fell in la-la-love with her hair. That’s such a nummy shade of red! I don’t think it will match my skin tone, though.
In other news, the lover is sending me a care love package! It ships out Friday PST and will travel the seas for seven days hrhrhr. I am so excited! In the package are: a lens for Baby Girl, Crest Whitestrips (we actually fought about this. My fault), a tube of Mac lipglass, a brochure for IT Jobs (loljk), jeggings (in XS/S, what the heck. I have 1.5 weeks to lose weight), and a bunch of other surprises. Kee, I can’t wait!
