Totally Obsessed.


This man is a genius (yes, it is a man).

I'm naming my food baby Gerber.

I deemed myself cool today for watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I deemed myself foolish for only wearing a shirt and jacket today. And cotton pants. Clearly I need to remind myself it is FREEZING as of late.

I deemed myself intrigued at the thought of owning a video camera pen (how do people not find that super creepy?)

I deemed myself an idiot for forgetting my camera batteries at home.

I deemed myself hungry for eating cake, then going home and eating steak, and then eating some more cake right afterward.


. . . But enough about me, how was your Eve?

I'm alive.

Hey guys and girlies. Guess who's back?

I've been trying to update on and off for the past few months but in all honesty, it's been tough juggling a job and going to school. I'm glad now I at least have this break to catch up.

So what I have been up to:

1. A hangout with friends:



2. A trip to the Met (museum report):







I LOVED THIS.

3. Finishing my term garment:



The belt I made for the dress.


A classmate made cute gingerbread men!




An extra picture, I modeled the sweater my friend made for term garment!

4. Gift wrapping:


I bought little baskets and stuffed them with cute little gifts, candy, and ornaments! This is just a mock up (I haven't decided final arrangements and what to give!)


As you can see, I've been a busy bee! I've also been working and doing other school work. But I'm still alive and well, which I feel is always a blessing. I have to finish wrapping gifts, but see you soon?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is the day of the gobble gobble, and by that, I don't mean the turkey. I mean what I'll be doing tonight along with a lot of sleep sleep.

I wanted to resurrect the blog! And what better day to do it than Thanksgiving, a day to show how much I am grateful for the people in my life and you guys!

Here's a follow-up of what I've been up to as of late.


Learning how to make patterns on illustrator




Group work in Fashion Art (I dare you to guess our inspiration)


Recent purchases at Sephora (got the Viktor and Rolf perfume I mentioned months ago!)


Outfit rundown: H&M tube scarf, polka dot shirt, dolman zipper cardigan, thrift cut off shorts, Gap tights, Anna Sui over knee socks, Capezio boots, studded belt


Recently bought African roses opened


Eating Vegan food at Curly's Lunch with ma friend Crysbel


Drawing a cartoon of my favorite band and their ghost logo. At Curly's. On their napkin. With their crayons.


Now as a wrap up, I just wanted to share a few words. I'm very grateful for my family and friends who make everyday worth living. It's been tough lately with the workload at school and at work, but the people I'm with always make it a hundred times better than it would be otherwise. I'm also thankful for my health and ability to keep doing the things I love. Finally, I'm thankful for this blog, as it's allowed me to connect with many different kinds of people and readers from all over the world. Thank you guys! I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving and please, eat a lot. 8D

Comment Responses are Delayed

I just wanted to write a formal apology.

I am busy lately and swamped with work. I'm currently on the computer right now to message some group mates and to charge my mp3 player (I'm going to need my music for the rest of the week).

School is kind of eating my soul right now. I'm also kinda eating these right now.



Seasonal items are the best.

Anyway, that's pretty much what I've had time to do as of late. Now I'm off to message people, then marker my night away. Commenting back will happen in the future, but not until all of this is over.

Later and g'night.

Just roll with it.


Recently my friend and I had a feast.

Shoot time flies.

Hey y'all, what's up?
I like using the term y'all not because of the implications, but because I'm literally so lazy I like it when words come jam packed together. I swear if I could, I'd shorten all my words.

For example, "How y'all do?" would be "How are you guys doing?" Judge me hard, but that's just the way I roll.


Anyway, lately I've been coloring my life away.





Flats:



All for my fashion art class. I have to admit, I don't think I ever was so meticulous about a fashion art project. I am after all, the lazy one. Here is my end result, photoshopped and ready to be graded.



What'cha think?

Sadly, I heard my professor gives terrible grades (apparently he's a nitpicker) so you can expect me to be very sad and exhausted come Monday. Fun.

I did come across a beautiful spice rack recently in a Lower East Side Co-op though.



Random I know, but this got me excited and happy. I love my spices.

Well, now I'm off to go and drink tea and catch up on some pre-afternoon z's. See y'all 'round?

My hands are dirty. With markers.

Hey guys! I've been sleeping, drawing, and watching S Club movies all day (make that singular since they only had one movie, and yes, it is on demand). I'm glad I at least got some sleep in since this week is gonna be rough (school wise). I also have a lot of events planned, so I'll keep you updated on that in the future.

Recent look for fashion art class:


Striped long shirt, vintage patterned shirt (overlay), Anna Sui scarf, fake glasses, jean shorts

I was going for the pattern on pattern, kinda Marc by Marc vibe with it. I luff colors.

During fashion art, my professor handed out books for us to look at. I love looking at fashion pictures and illustrations. If I had lots of money to spend, I would probably have a whole library of books pertaining to that subject. However, I don't. But I did take a couple of choice pictures that really spoke to me.









After class was done, I was starving, so along with two friends, we headed to Korea Town to get some nosh. We chose to eat at Pho 32.



The place was packed but we managed to find seats. I order the vermicelli noodles with pork and prawn and it was delicious! A ton of fresh and crisp veggies, a broth of some sort, and savory cuts of pork and prawn on top of thin noodles. It just worked. Our waiter was also super nice which was a plus!

That's pretty much what I did as of late. I also have good news: I got a new memory card! I've been running on the memory of just my camera, which is not too little but I have to constantly delete pictures to fit new ones. Now I can just about take thousands of pictures and videos. Pretty fantastic.


Anyway, time to sleep. I shall see you all later! Tata!

Jersey Politics now have a song.

Hello guys, I have gone from MIA to being angry at the MTA to not being able to think of anything clever to say at the end of this sentence. Boo-hoo-eh?

But yesterday the MTA decided the Uptown F train should not go to Broadway Lafayette, the subway stop I ended up walking to, so of course I had to wait for either the B or D, except that only the D runs on weekends and it runs SLOW. It took me 1.5 more hours getting home than it should have.

That was NOT FUN.

However, I did have fun yesterday. Can't you tell?



The Drunken Sufis at the Lit Lounge. They were quite possibly the coolest people ever with the most interesting sound to ever enter my ears in a pleasant way. That and they sing about politics. I think you ought to check 'em out (linkage below)




I forget why we laughed initially, but we laughed afterward when we saw this. We look like babies!!


FIERCE.


An Indian restaurant in the East Village.


Space invader ice cubes! The best thing to happen to ice cubes since, well, the invention of them.

As you can see, we went to see the Drunken Sufis late last night. Along the way, we drank cups of water with space invaders in them, had some delicious Italian ices (not pictured because we scarfed down those bad boys), and I also got myself three cans of these:



Sucks when your favorite product is seasonal. But the pumpkin is back and you will see it popping up in my morning meals more often.

Here's an extra picture of me being silly. I was aiming for a Nylon magazine feel.


H&M cardigan, Stigmata Addiction t-shirt, H&M boyfriend jeans, Gap argyle knee socks, Capezio combat boots, Liz Lisa hair tie, fake glasses from St. Marks Place.

Peace out.
