My town's sky lit up in the most mysterious way, the clouds daunting presence creating a translucent veil across the retreating, firey canopy
I want to see the sky before it changes moods and the clouds shatter the sun beams.
Almost a dichotomy
Be safe everyone!
I heard William and mary will be hit with Category 3, not sure about ho bad it'll be where I am but it doesn't seem too bad. Perhaps power outage
OK SO... I had a hard time thinking of a talent, not really sure what I'd display/what talents i have so I thought i'd go withthe one that eveyone recognizes as a talent in a person. I played piano way back and continued to play after I stopped lessons when I was about 12 or 13.
for those of you who do not use xanga, and those of you who use xanga but do nt know of the ASSCATChallenges: (I suck at typing...my keyboard wont cooperate!)

I decided to play one of my favorite songs, Moon River, famously appearing in the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys.
It has a beautiful melody, and is almost like a grownup's lullaby...
I'm no sure if the embedding worked.... here is the link!

Soo...I posted this in the description of the video but here:
Moon River!
1. camera/recording quality is mehhh
2. first time reading score, i lost the one that was in my book. Somehow the pages fell out, all but the last page.
SOOOO apologies to any mistakes, piano and singing!! = Got difficult doing both with not as familiar music haha. though I shoul have no excuse since i've played another version before
and aside from that and my messy house, enjoyyy =]
PS*
I have only watched the first 10 seconds of the singing part.
-.-

Still obsessed with Sexy Lady by iSquare.
Recently got these shoes at Aldo
Click HEREfor lookbook link. I entered it in a contest on lookbook! First time submitting something for one of their contests 
What I'm wearing:
-Fedora from friend Kana Khaimug (that i wore in senior year ofhigh school as part of our "triad" halloween costumes HAHA)
-MNG top
-H&M orange pants, cuffed up
-Leather bag from thrit store Unique
-twistable necklace/bracelet on my wrist
- Neklace from antique store in Vermont (Memory Lane)
- Shoes from Aldo
They are surprisingly incredibly comfortable, easier to walk in than my yellow shoes despite the heel height
(sat down in the park waha)
and wore the shoes with these accessories
Why the title? Because pumped up kicks was an impetus for conversation between my brother and me some time ago.
Music:
Pumped up kicks- foster the people
fashion week in DC/NYC/all places is coming up I am oh so excited for the events =]
(Just an fyi, I'm curently obsessed with iSquare's - Hey Sexy Lady. aBUSE REPLAY)
It's very rare for my family to all be together at once outside of the house, and it's even rarer for us to be mentally present.
On a recent Saturday my whole family had to leave the house to use the bathroom, shower, etc since my water pipe broke (hence the hole to China in my last post) so we all ended up going to a farmers market together.
Aside from that, we've been attempting to plan for a beach trip for a while but it never went through. Instead, my mom, sister and I went to Hollin Farm and Three Fox vineyard, both in VA and only an hour away from my house. It was an entirely necessary trip.
Peach Picking/fruit picking has to be one of my favorite things to do. Not only are you in an open field of trees and deliciously fragrant fruit, there is a peaceful silence in the groves/trees nearer the sides, towardt he mountain view, away from all the other visitors. I took some peaches that we had in the bag and sat and ate at the edge of the orchard and watched the mountains stand so loudly in their colossal form.
The tomatoes:
peaccchh!
So I took a picture with my sis and saw a peach
went t check it out...
SNIFFFFF the whole place smelled so delicious
picked it
then checked to see if i could eat it right there
got four sunflowers =] the are beautiful
we then headed to Three Fox Vineyard. We go here every time we go to Hollin farm. Only difference is, this year I can partake in the wine tasting
table in the vineyard =] beautiful place, one of my favorites
with sistr
Music:
Jay Z, yeezy, hudson- why i love you
Oh That I had- Mt Eden (dubsteppp)
@ionekoa (is John)
(I had to talk really quietly and not be crazy because my parents are in the house 
)
anddd sorry! I cut off a small chunk (half a second) during my thank you and a bit of the "sustenance" part at the end by accident!
the cross necklace is also from the same effort

So recently my family's house has been lookin like this:
I tried climbing in that.
This current condition of my front lawn, the bombing, is because of our broken pipes. They had to dig up my front lawn to get to the pipes and switch the old rusted, punctured metal ones for pvc ones.
It has progressed into something that reminds me of Mario's green sewage pipes that he disappears into when he squats over them
there is a while pipe sticking out from the ground now...
tempting...
My gosh...
my friend sent me this video last night as I got ready for bed/finished my remaining research work Iwhich ends this week, then I can finally...BREATHE)
and I basically bawled at the end (though I told him I teared)
I then watched it again during work today and the same thing happened.
I think my heart broke during the whole thing, even in the beginning.
I'm not sure why I watched it twice, I usually can't watch things like this because I know the reaction I will have. In fact, I always ask peope before watching a movie if there will be an emotional scene, even a really happy one. I cried the whole time during UP! -.-
But it's probably because this was so well made that I had to
it tapped in to every vein

We took advantage of Bethesda restauant week where at the restaurants where I work a few weeks ago
and I finally had my fill of fried soft bellied clams!!AHHHH SO GOOD
Freddys Lobster and Clam
But that morning, I was very incredibly late for work so I decided to just throw on a grayish blue halter maxi dress and a few other things and run/dash/speed
now...what to do when the dress reveals too much cleavage/plunges too much, as is the case with most halter tops
You throw on a loose tank and knot it, secure it with a brooch! =]
Ok A(lex), S(hawn), and S(onlay) of asscats, here is a video for you guys.
those are my awesome pjs. also please excuse the mess we are refurbishing!
for those of you confused, click hurr
For swaggajack
For @sonychak
And for @junbelievable08, I made a compilation of stuff haha
also i jsut noticed everything is orange :X everything got oompaloompa'd!
As the light bulbs retract their radiance and my world quiets its rustling, I ignite the tip of the candle, watching the glow pirouette with each breeze through the open window, a peephole toward the punctured marquee. As I watch the rotating spheres of shimmering fire settle in their ambit of our dreams and wishes, I drift...and for those moments I tilt and let my heart pour itself completely into my mind.
but my sentiments dart from the open space to shelter within that glassed compartment in my heart, fearful of their exposure. They shift, they cry, they dance, they swing wayward. Yet through the confusion the wind beckons out their sweetness, and for a moment I can stand this gentle reprieve
I stay up counting each star, as they retreat with each passing second.
Such chaos, but at the end all my thoughts all seem to recover themselves into one...
you.
And finally, after all the twinkling eyes have winked at my passing glance, the moon wanes as if to pass on your smile, its light refracting through the glass chasing my worries away, soothing me into a slumber.
I bid adieu to your fleeting silhouette at my heart's side as the candle bows for its silenced encore and I cradle tightly your distant promise.
Inspired by hearts and stars and song
sweetness in starlight- matt wertz (omgsh everytime i hear this...makes me melt i likkkeee this song)
Falling asleep
To the sound of stars
Shooting around the moon
But I can't watch them fly tonight, baby
I'm too busy watching you.
Countings stars isn't really the type of music I usually listen to (though i do like augustana),but the lyrics captured my interest immediatley
Til you're back in my arms,
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Counting the stars
Nothing could ever touch us
Nothing gonna shake my faith
Nothing in this big, bad world will ever take you away
*MY TODOLIST:

My very first impression of Georgetown,DC back in highschool when I went with a summer camp called NSLC was that it was too much to soak in. I guess back then we didn't really have time to run around for too long.
Since then I've been jsut three times (not including the fashion shows/events), and finally took pics this last time! I went with my friend Roland from school, or @quan_jiahao87 . Even though I live so close to here, most of my DC time is spent wandering around the free museums
After walking around to find a place to eat, we saw this little "alley way"
Descend the stairs and you'll see this (without Roland ha)
We finally settled for crepes! I've neverhad crepes like these, we got three and shared a thing of tater tots
@junbelievable08 does this count as epic I thought it was epic
though i might eat something more epic in NYC
MINE.
The stores at Georgetown are nice, they have the normal mall stores such as United color, zara, h&m, blah blah karen millen etc etc which are cooool but kinda boring (food in georgetown is so awesome). But what I didn't see before was the awesome ALLSAINTS. We passed by it and there was a huge "UP TO70% OFF" so of course I was like O_O...we went in and I saw this sequined dress and knew I had to look aronud.
drooooolll shuz
My very first self mirror picture!! bahaaaa
So the whole store had some pretty dresses that I wanted to try on but none in my size. I FINALLY found a size 2 and ran to try it on. I like the design on the right hand side
Awesome hangers inside the fitting rooms. I def want that
He punched me on the water front. My smile is deceiving
So later that night, I realized that we don't have that much time until some of my friends around here leave to far states for school so a few high school friends and I met up to eat.
I had sashimi for the first time. (I had a nibble)
OMGSH SO MUCH OMNOM
I ate a little tiny bit of my friend's raw salmon:
Music:
I've been going through an adele thing for some time, though it's only a few of her songs
My sidewalk adventure with my yellow heels from Aldo:
stepped out in these lovely things
stepped
half squat
yeayuh
WHat I'm wearing
-Yellow heels from Aldo
- Pleated black pants from Go Jane (the olnly thing I've ever liked from there)
- Crochet tank from Guess
-Black Corset
- Awesome jewelry
I've been slowly breaking out of my irrational fear that was cultivated by the way I grew up at home. I hope to one day fully realize my passion, and go with it. Have guts to give it my all without fear of disappointing people. (I had used the word "shyness" before but it wasnt used correctly, what I maent was shy from trying, shy from diverting to my own path).
just two exampls of friends:
I have talented and motivated friends all around.
Also, Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar:
I'm picky when it comes to chocolate that I actually enjoy eating. I really like those fererro rocher golden wrapped ones, chocolate covered strawberies, and this special toffee chocolate that has a yellow wrapping around it.
This place, this just is so aesthetically pleasing that I think anyhting I eat there will be delicious. and it SOUNDS so delicious
Passion chased, smiles achieved
