At the new job . . .
Hey guys! It's Aya here, just updating you guys on my life.
I've been fairly better at updating lately than before, but just wanted to let you guys know I have a new job. What is it you ask? My little secret. But I will be hanging around Brooklyn more often now.
As always, obsessing over music. Freelance Whales on repeat.
If you don't know them, check them out.

I may change the layout soon!
I'm that girl that changes her profile picture constantly on Facebook.
That said, I've kept this layout for a while. It may be time for a change soon.
This song is irrelevant to change (what needs to change is my ability to cleverly connect my topics together), but I recently became obsessed with it.

Mindy Gledhill is quite adorable and quirky.
I forgot to post these pictures weeks ago. I had a mini impromptu photo shoot with my friend Melissa from school. These were taken in Forest Hills, Queens.
(maybe you can see I'm not actually wearing a watch?)
Extras!
Wachu lookin' at?
I take pictures of unisex bathrooms. In train stations.
Mmmmmmm, caffeine.
gasp!
We made sugar cookies afterward, decorated with nutella and chocolate chips. I made a sumo wrestler and the fat pony. They were best friends before I ate Mr. Sumo.
SEE? I eat diapered men for breakfast nom nom nom
Anyway, that's it for now. I'm itching to do another shoot for fun! Look forward to it!

So I don't write often.
Bloggers, and by bloggers, I mean, PEOPLE WHO UPDATE REGULARLY (I'm yelling at myself), are amazing people, because they do what they are expected to do. Which is, to blog about their opinions/lives in a very CONSISTENT manner (okay, stop yelling!)
I am clearly not one of those people. In fact, this can be an ongoing joke amongst my readers and I (who I bless for still being my readers).
But onto more important things.
I also hung out with my friend Crysbel. Is it just me or does this picture make us look extremely young?
This was taken actually right after I got my ears pierced! Most people assume I have them pierced but I don't (until now!) It's kind of exciting. I finally got them done because I found the coolest pair of dinosaur earrings and I needed to wear them ASAP. Nerdiness drives me.

This is probably my 5th (?) time at Red Bamboo, so I clearly like it. It's also always crowded when I go, so I think it's a hit with other people too. It's definitely a place where meat eaters can go and feel satisfied as well (I've tested with many). I just wish the servers would smile more often ! But if you're ever in the mood for tasty vegan food in the West Village, I recommend this spot for sure!
Okay guys, more updates are comin' soon. Now that I've just killed my phone, I won't have distractions anyway . . . (yes, the hint of bitterness is there) Have a good day and see y'all later? Toodle-loo!

Lately I've been into this song:
The singer, Cocco, has an amazing voice. I could listen to this song forever.
I also hung out with my friend Judy from school!
She looks so sweet right? But in reality, she's a big bully. Look!
Haha. kidding. She's as sweet as a double fudge ice cream sundae.

That day we went to Red Bamboo and gorged ourselves silly on vegan delights.

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.
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.

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.

My keyboard sucks.
My computer is getting old. The touch pad doesn't work and now, the "J" isn't working unless I pound on it hard.
A lot of things require the letter "J": Jelly beans, Jokes, Justin Bieber, and of course, Jukebox the Ghost. And no, I NEVER plan to write Justin Bieber and Jukebox the Ghost in the same sentence again, unless I use it in the context of "Jukebox the Ghost went to go eat at a diner next door to the Hooters Justin Bieber performed at for free fried pickles." Yes, this happened (minus the Jukebox bit which I'm pretty sure I made up).
But anyway, back to what matters, I've been listening to Jukebox's Everything Under the Sun on repeat for a couple of days now, and I've noticed several trends:
1. Tommy mentions God in 80% of his songs
2. Tommy is my male counterpart, except cooler and way more blond (amongst other things, ya know)
3. Ben's softer songs are good to listen to before bed
And now that I cleverly made the bridge between Ben's softer songs to the next topic, I gotta say, the style of the song Summer Sun is a lot like that of this Japanese band, Bump of Chicken.
Okay, not exactly alike but it's definitely the style. You just gotta listen to more Bump to know.
No more excuses.
In other news, winter drinks are back at Starbucks. Boo to the ya.
Peace out y'all.

The early bird gets the worm.
I put off a major project yet again. If sleeping in class were a sport, I'd have gone past olympics and claimed my title as queen of all class sleepers.
This song I just discovered 5 seconds ago is rocking my world right now:
The band is The Happy Bullets and the song is The Vice and Virtue Ministry. I highly recommend a good listen, but I just checked their website and looks like it's been dead for years. Sucks when you get into things late, huh?
Speaking of getting into things late, I am the prime example of that. I never watched CSI, The Office, Sex and the City, Friends, or any of the shows I like now until maybe I don't know, 6 seasons later? It's the same with fashion. While all the young girls around me were wearing pretty little patterned frocks in the 5th grade, I wore boring ole' blue jeans and solid sweaters. Sure there was a butterfly here and there but lets just say I used to be a plain jane.
Now look at me, lusting over next season's patterns.

Oh, I know you're questioning my taste right now.
Now I have to get back to work, but before I do, some pictures from today.
I went to Chelsea Market during my break and after acting like a tourist, found some crack in the form of juice. You know those Tropicana ads where there's a straw in an orange? IT FELT LIKE THAT BUT WITH CANTELOUPE.
Thank God I didn't know about it earlier, or my fridge might've exploded. Sometimes it's a good thing I suppose.
I'll update later with what I've been up to this fashion week! Peace and love, y'all, peace and love.

Recent thoughts and photos
Hey guys, the title is plain because I was feeling a little less than creative 5 seconds ago.
Recent thoughts that entered my head:
1. Why does everyone dream of owning a Louis Vuitton bag when all I want is a Christopher Kane printed dress?
2. Why is CSI crack?
3. Am I really allowed to listen to Let Live and Let Ghosts a million times in repeat and be called normal?
4. How will my first race go?
Okay, so the first three are self explanatory but number 4 is a new one.
I run as a hobby from time to time around my neighborhood. I've been doing so for a while, but it's never consistent (I prefer doing more boot camp style cardio exercises, with variety in moves). But at work, I have a coworker who likes to run races, and he convinced me to join him on September 5th for the World Trade Center, Run to Remember 5k run.
Click HERE for more info.
It's going to be my first race and although I don't think it'll be as intense as that picture up there, I do think it's a big step for me. I've been training, and each time I've noticed I can go longer without taking a break and generally, I feel stronger. It's a good feeling and I hope it continues up til race day.
Wish me luck. :)

That pepper is burning my tongue.
Hello guys and girls, today I plan to do nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Words were never strung together so beautifully.
The only things I do plan to do today is write on this bloggy, watch some CSI, and listen to Rooney.
I checked my emails this morning and was greeted by one saying I was one of 45 top dinner blogs of 2010 at OnlineSchools.org. I checked it out (sometimes I get spam so I really have to check everything) and scoured the homepage. It's actually a very nice site--I appreciate information being put together collectively for people to use. Check out the other blogs that were ranked too because they are pretty banging !
Speaking of banging (hey, don't blame me if your mind went there), these bagels are also pretty up the radar.
Anyway, I should probably jump off the computer and go watch some of that CSI I've been hankering. Hodges is slowly becoming one of my favs. Toodles guys!

I went to Brooklyn Bagel in the wee hours of the morning to get one of these. Well, no, actually, I was already in the area and after having a 30 minute nap at the Rite Aid next door (I hope you know I'm NOT kidding), I decided a nice warm bagel was in order. I got the rye with cinnamon raisin walnut (I think that's what it's called?) cream cheese and t'was glorious. Seriously, these bagels are huge and worth the price.
I also have been craving Nutella recently.
I also have been craving Nutella recently.
HOW CAN YOU NOT?
I need to get myself a jar soon, so I can start spreading it's delicious chocolatey hazelnutty goodness on everything. Mmmmmmmmm, nutella omelets . . . (kinda joking)
If this post weren't random enough, I thought I'd just say that I did watch Project Runway's Season 8 Premiere.
And I thought Andy's and Gretchen's Looks were pretty boss. Man, I love me some black draping.
