the greatest thing in my life is... myself.

right now, it's not about solving the way i am... it's about letting things happen the way they're supposed to happen.

an unexpected friend told me recently, "it's interesting how the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning."

i thank this friend.

i've had the biggest urge to delete this blog, but then all of my thoughts would go to waste. i decided i'll just update even more now, being here in seoul.

what i've learned: be strong for the people who love you.

and that's all you need to know.

literate and stylish

kissable and quiet

that's what girls' dreams are made of.

is that really scarjo on the right?

they must've photoshopped her head onto that bod... even though her body WOULD look like that. love.

summertime is almost here, and that means i'm going to wear huge bows and flowers in my hair every day. ;)

these illustrations sum up my life perfectly right now.

i know i use the words "perfect" and "amazing" too much, which is quite ironic because i never feel perfect or amazing.

lore vigil-escalera (aka lov-e) is tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. lov-e these.

times are changing, and i don't like it one bit.

i came across this really sick quote recently. it was in a little book at urban, and it said something along the lines of, "it's not that we're going through hard times, it's that we're getting out of too-good times." no, that was way wrong... anyway, it was optimistic and made me smile.

we went to pick up our caps and gowns today. besides the very rude and awkward conversation we had with the straight-up THUGS usc hired for the whole cap+gown pick-up thing (they talked funny and had huge sleeve tatts), i felt so sad. so so so very sad. i tried everything on for daniel and michelle, and i actually like the black robes and red sash combo. USC graduates look very regal. i love USC and loved my times here and it feels surreal that i'm graduating from such an amazing 4-year academic institution.

on to the next one.

i'm NOT crazy.

has something like this ever happened to you?

i was looking at a random blog and saw the most random picture of a nicely-decorated white room. it wasn't anything special, but looking at it for literally one second brought about this sharp pang of serenity. (and the smallest tear to my right eye. yes, just my right one.)

i can't say that i was elated all of a sudden, but i felt for a millisecond a type of peacefulness i really want to feel.

i've always thought that international magazines have better spreads than US ones... anyone agree? these photos are so beautiful... and i have nothing else to say.

darling baby here's my gift to you: my heart and my soul. i wouldn't just give that away.

effortless chic

i saw this spread a while ago but came across them again at fashiongonerogue... can't believe it's from vogue paris 2006!?

ZEE LOOK OF ZEE DAY!

just had an amazing chief sesh with the roomie and bestie, mich... zoot. i shouldn't be saying this stuff on the internet... one day (and that day is coming real soon), i'm going to have to make my facebook private. wait, i think that is already private. made my photos private too.... but i mean, one day, i'm going to have to make my twitter private. make this blog private. i don't want to go into the working world... scratch that, i don't want to work for a place (i.e. corporate, cubicled out environment) that's going to take away my freedom of speech. i know i'm being extreme right now, but all these thoughts are springing up out of nowhere and i can't stop talking.

i love this. always.

anyway, just ran into the above pic and couldn't stop staring at the girl's outfit. looks way too perfect right now... i wish i could rock it.

scratch that.

i can rock it.

ha...
