skin cancer



I did a sloppy job, my hands were shaking from holding so tight to the henna tube.hahha! Jeremy looks good in earings doncha think? i put them in for fun.i think earrings look really hot on guys, if done right, if they can pull it off. specially gauges, Calvin wont get them though, even though he has big ears.

Latest inspiration: INDIA




oh my god.
i just watched the movie Jodhaa Akbar, which by the way was 4 hours, and it was simply
AWE-INSPIRING. the culture of India is simply gorgeous, this movie took place inside of a palace and everything is wow. you can sort of see inside of the clip below. not the same however, i watched at Amiee and Christine Gohil's house on their giant TV. you can see all the intricate details, especially the jewelry and architecture. no surface is left bare and all decorations are precise and beautiful. Engravings of peacocks, lotus flowers, chains, feathers, trawling vines...on the high walls and pavilions. Screens for sleeping are also delicately wrought of white wood, looking like fine lace. the pavilions have light sheets of transparent silk,
ok. describing is no good. you must see it for yourself. watch the movie.

Bela Shende is so pretty; her eyes are wide and her voice is lovely. i cant stop listening!
i want a nose ring. a giant one. and layers of gold jewlery for my hair, neck, and wrists. she is adorned from the tips of her painted toes to the medallion on her forehead.
the clothes are vividly colorful and delicate.
Mehendi; or henna, really intricate, temporary herb based .

Jodhaa Akbar: Man Mohana

from the movie "Jodhaa Akbar" (2008) staring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan. Jodhaa Bai is a Rajput Princess and Akbar is Emperor of Hindustan (aka India). What makes this love story unique is Jodhaa is Hindu and Akbar is Muslim. Their marriage is based on political alliances between him and the Rajput King. However Jodhaa mentions that she will only marry Akbar if she is allowed to remain a Hindu and she can have a small temple in her quarters. Akbar agrees. In this scene, Jodhaa is praying to Krishna and this is the first time Akbar has seen her face to face.

" chinese?"


Every after school Wednesday, i will be "getting tutored in the CSF room. Really it means, gossiping and loudly fooling around with my friends. Im sorry everyone around me, im kinda loud. Edwin and Christine! ahhaa, its true, Ed sorta looks like Ross ( same hair, eyebrows, but he has much prettier eyes), more of Matteo however.
but, this will be our thing from now on. Also, i have to come because of a " you have a C+ therefore you must be tutored in order to stay in swimming" deal i made with my mom.
Oh~ and guess who got a cellphone ( singsong voice)
me!
finally! ive been asking for one since last summer, and we finally have one. i say we because, sadly i must share with my brother. for now that is. its a maroon VU, pronounced view, and is not a vietnamesse last name. the only thing is that it seems to pick up fingerprints like Hercules Poirot, who by the way is a creation of the wonderful Agatha Christie, whom ive been reading recently. she's a great writer, ABC was a fabulous work filled with quippy Brit speak, and well...mystery. you should read it. i think i will hit the library soon and garnier more volumes.
andddd, well, so far ive gotten only a few cell phone numbers,Abbas being my first, and looking to add more. oh yeah, i made new friends this week, or for some, established deeper relationships that extend more than a greeting on the deck. Joe in math, iforgothername from swimming, Samatha, Dennis, Christine, Kevin ( both of the bottleracers) in my lane. and more. i just renember talking to more people that i only glanced at before. its fun to expand your friendship circle.
i propose these to be official events;
  • 50 meters backwards butterfly
  • 100meters doggypaddle
  • 200 meters underwater freestyle
  • ill think of more while im swimming
aim is sucking my blog energy away D:

mood: amorous

today's adventures
  • i woke up to the doorbell; everday brenden walk to my house to get a ride to school, normally he would arrive at 7:40ish. i faintly renember mydream. there was a serial killer in my house. IT WAS VERY SCARY. i remember that. like, i didnt know where he was and was sneaking around very quiety trying not to draw attention to myself.when i was little i had a best friend, Jeanie Kim, who lived next door. i would come over her house most days and we would play till dark. she moved to cuppertino quite a while back. anyhow, for some unknown reason, she still lived there. my family made a mad dash across the stone wall/ steepes that seperated out houses.in my dream world our houses where much bigger. and her grandmother was still alive. anyhow. i was put into a small room by myself. thats when i draw a blank. next part of my dream, i was at my old school, exept in my 2nd period portable. i renmeber looking out and seeing the blue walls we play handball with. my class was having a party, with lots of food. steven ma was flirting with a white named christie and for some odd reason that really ticked me off. so, i went to wear Laurie was eating. who isnt even in my class... so im making a mint chocloate chip sundae and trying to get the whipped cream to come out when. dinggg! i relize immedietly that that is the doorbell and my dream dissapears. oh ! im going to be late! i turn my head to theright and read my green clock. its 750! and i jump off the topbunk and open the door.
  • i had bedhead the whole day
  • handing out Valentines and being careful because i only had ten ferrero rochers and didnt want to hurt anyones feelings...
  • lugging around a full duffel bad, and my heavy messenger bag all day. i noticed most athletes have aquired a sort of limp because of the gear. mine was more pronounced because both the bags were hanging off my right shoulder. um, in my bag: aveeno lotion, swimsuit,googles,silicon cap, towel,jeans,sweatshirt,specialK ers,2 oranges,shampoo,conditioner, and other random gear.
  • steven sent me a "sweets for sweeties" how sweet of him! thats really made my day after a hard practice. i ate it under the eave of a portable with the rain pouring all around me. it was dark and the lights were gllowing romantically. chocolate ! mmmmmMMMmmmm
  • led lane 3 in our wet paper set. we actually finished it! i really pushed myself today. im really proud of myself. i got into a rythm of four strokes per breath and some nice kicks of the wall. hahha, apparently i have a prefect um, started raining halfway and everyone rushed to stuff their towels and stuff in the small office. i simply simply simply love to swim in this weather! sky is grey, rain was falling, pool lights were on. one of my est practices. plus, im a real night person so i was giidy and joked around with everyone. and you look out to the courts and no one is there. so awesome.
  • after taking a steamy shower and gossiping with vicky i waited outside snug and warm. me and brenden feasted on the food i brought and split one of Olivia's heart tart cookie. i think, after pushing yoursef anything sweet taste like heaven. we talked with the rain drumming and therew tangerine peels into the river of rainwater as lucky boats. everything was glowing and beautiful.
  • showered again in the dark, per usual, with a new candle: warm honey. used mom'c crabtree and evelyn body scrub, and new moistureology shampoo. im trying to use good products for my hair to offset the damage that chlorine can do to it.
  • slathered on lotion. i love lotion, makes my skin feel so soft.
  • handwashed my aritzia and anthropologie cardigans
  • ate a big chunk of toasted baugette with honey. and a glass of milk
  • im gonna do some art and aim now!

wet shoes equal a miserable day

the skies certainly took a turn, from blue skies to downpour.
today was also the day i spontaneously forgot my PE locker combination. i endured a game of soccer, in my flats and thin long sleeves, and got a thorough soaking.
i just remember talking to steven this morning " ha! and they said it would rain today, look at that blue skies." perhaps mother nature took up my challenge thus squeezing all the precipitation out of the clouds, right on my head. right after school i went to tutoring in room d17. pretty cozy atmosphere actually. only thing is there are buncha fobs there. but, i was with ross so it wasnt that bad. mm, ive been hanging out with him more

swimming means:

an unhealthy amount of lotion being applied after practice. The piedmont pool seems to contain an discusting blend of chemical that leave a dry and horrible taste in my mouth.
well yesterday i spent a nice 4 hours taking, and drew ( what are you thinking,ross?) when i woke up. yeah. Ryan Kwok, Ross and me are starting an collab artbook. its freakishly fun. All of us get a subject assigned and the book gets passed around. ill post my pic as soon as someone, ahem, scans it.
ive been in an artsy mood lately. compics are deliriously fun to work with. only thing istheyre alcohol based i tend to get woozy after a few minutes of shading. quite high actualy. also been in a reading mood. i went to the library and picked up a stack of them to devour at home. im actually quite a little bookworm... oh! and i visted Andrew at work while i was there. how cute, he spends saturday evenings shlving books for community service. me and alison are thinking of volenteering somewhere also. hospital maybe?
andhow, i made a run to Michaels and picked up:
  • Strathmoore watercolour cold press paper
  • my very own Staedtler multiliner set ( so i dont have to deal with the BZ)
  • sable hair shaders/ brushes
  • watercolour masking fluid
yes, im all set for the vacation. i must ice skate, watch a movie, and go to sanfransisco next week. i just MUST.

well im off to eat, im simply ravenous tonight after the gruelking workout, got to keep my body in tip top shade donchaknow...
