Great America

This is California's Great America (The picture was taken from the viewing tower)!

And this here is my formidable foe Drop Tower Scream Zone (known as Drop Zone), I rode it TWICE! It gives me gigantic tummy rumblies. It feels like the tummy rumblies will explode, but they never do! Anyways, the middle cart, and the leg on the very right is my friend Rucha's.

And this pretty lady on the left if Carli, a super happy friend from the 2nd grade. She laughs all the time. The BEAUTIFUL gal on the right is my twin sister. I'm constantly jealous of how pretty she is. AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TWINS.

And here's Rucha getting off Drop zone. She's obviously tired.

And we never got to ride this! When I was little these were the most boring things ever.

Here's the carousel at the entrance; the lower level lives all your cats (YES) dragons, doggies, and whales (etc.), while the horsies are all so stuck up and live en haut.(On top) We rode the horsies.

This is the inside of the viewing tower! We all got tired after our ice creams, so we sat here for 2 turns. We met a nice little tiger-painted girl, who asked for our numbers. The house is a nice little eating shack, but I thought it was so retro, I had to take a picture. TYPICAL AMUSEMENT PARK FOOD. Even McDonald's is expensive.

My sister got a picture of a little boy looking up with an ice cream cone in his hand. MIGNON~

Back!

Alrighty, I'm back from California's Great America, and I am tired. Pictures later!

BLACK AND GOLD

By the way, I'm beginning to wonder (always had trouble spelling that word), is this blog layout too hard to follow?

It's like Tumblr, but for us Bloggers/Typepaddders/other.

Tight-Fitting

(VIA UO Blog)

Urban Outfitters did a piece on Los Angeles based designer Lindsay Butler of Veda, and she makes the head scarf look so nice~ SUPER BELLE! I think head scarfs look so pretty (I'm sorry to any out there, because I don't know the proper name for this pretty thing), but.. I obviously can't wear one. Perhaps Lady Gaga will someday. There's a lovely lady at our school (I apologize for not knowing your name, but I think my sister does) and she works it plus belle que tout les gens! (prettier than everyone else). Anyway anyway, this is pretty, period.

BY THE WAY. Some city/state (I never get these right) in Indonesia, I think,banned tight-fitting clothing. I guess I'm never going there. (can't live without my stockings and jeans/pants). I suppose this cancels out France's ban on the burka.

In Malaysia, bikinis and monokinis aren't allowed anywhere! Unless you go to some hip and happening beach. (Probably in Kuala Lumpur) Someday I'm going to have to blog about Malaysia. (Probably in July 9-August 9, ahem.)

Twinkies

(VIA Refinery29)

As y'all know, I adore Refinery! (There goes that Southern thang) And their lookbooks (I love those too!) are wonderful~ This time it was white dedicated to memorial day! But white is nice for summer too. And Forever21 had a nice little lookbook for that too.

(VIA Forever21)

Work it!

(VIA StyleBubble)

This is Aqua's past collection, although I personally think it's still very, very pretty. All those schlick and body tight cut-outs are nice, but I suppose my head's still stuck in the past and in some flowy pastel thing. Probably. Do you see the t-shirt dress with the giant gold square in the middle? I love that one <3

Today was a bon jour! Elections went well, and my heart exploded inside itself when the lady over the speaker said our little awesome foursome (not in that way) won! Yes yes. Little secretary suits pour moi!

 Afterschool mama and papa took us out to sushi at our friend's little place, Sushi Coast. It's a great little place, I would suggest purchasing their set party trays for a better deal. TRY THE GODZILLA ROLL. It's fried and delish-i-osos.

Later grandmama called and said she had some fresh made mung-bean buns (one of my favoritest things in the world) so we headed on over. She had diet soda & beans too! (Love you for more than your food, g-ma) AND THEN WE WENT TO A SUPERMARKET AND BOUGHT 12 POUNDS OF JAPANESE YAMS. Yum!

Anyways, tennis conditioning later on. Let's see how that goes, hmm?

Some lady on twitter said Clogs were ugly. I say NUH-UH hunny, depends how you work it!

Crowning!

Oh, by the way! It has been announced by Gucci Group that Sarah Burton will be taking over the late Mr. Alexander Mcqueen's FASHION EMPIRE. She helped finish his fall collection.

Lace and Everything Nice

(Images VIA Forever21 & American Apparel)

So I'm thinking about buying a lace top, but I can't think of a single spankin' thing to wear with it! (Now I know lace tops may not be the hippest thing at the moment..) I like how the American Apparel (Identified by the modeled shirts) have little scallops in them, parce que j'adore scallops! Eating them too. There's a dim sum place near by that sells $2.00 scallop dumplings. Yum yum.

Campaigning has been all this week, and boy does it poop a girl out. Its hurts a whole bunch too! I mean, little weird stares here and there, but I am particularly whooshy and mushy. So I guess it hurts a little 'ol heart just that little bit more. I'm vying for Secretary too. Now don't we look cute in little secretary outfits?

Okay. Perhaps I wouldn't. I pet my kitty cat all the time, so maybe all the fur he's shedding will give me some magical cat luck. ANYWAYS WOULD YOU LIKE TO VOTE POUR MOI?

I'd like to say that I care super super much about what all everyone thinks (I still need to figure out how to say "everyone" in french), and I really do! Ah. So many complications.

A friend of mine is contemplating suicide. I wish I could tell him how much I WOULD NOT LIKE THAT! Or perhaps I should just say that I would cry if that happened. There is nothing I can do! C'est un chose difficile, n'est pas?

The other day a friend told me I had a southern accent for a bit. Come to think of it, I think I'm reading this little post in one. It used to be British, too!

DIY: PS I Made This: Fendi Wrap Heel

(VIA PsIMadeThis)

As little poor children with no jobs, DIY's can go a long way, and Ps I Made this si one of the many sites I love <3 It simplifies projects into a little picture. Anyways, this particular one was made to imitate the nude trend, and Fendi's wrap shoe. Aussi,. Outsapop is a wonderful website too!

Did you know the newspaper is at a 3rd grade reading level, so it's won't be to hard to read?

Oui. C'est vrai~

Here Comes The Sun

(VIA Forever 21)
One of my favorite thing to look at online is lookbooks~ And this particular store just came out with a new one.. and it's sport on. A bit. Similar to Proenza Schouler! (Can I say that?)
Topshop came with a tropical feel-y look book too: CLUB TROPICANA

IT'S TIME FOR SUMMER VACATION.

All these hints, and I hope the sun gets it.

Finalement

So I decided to try and take a picture! And it was hard. All that lighting stuff, focusing, glare, etc. - ce n'est pas my forte. But I tried! And I am rather proud that my kitty came and sat in my lap. He's like a leech. I tried to tear him off a couple times, but he comes back. J'adore ca!

Today I wanted to open a cake shop when I'm older; yesterday I wanted to do pasta. And the whole time I wanted to go to college in NY to see the people. But qu'est-ce que je fait?

TOPSHOP

(VIA Topshop Inside Out Blog, Mini for Many)

I love the cute colors in this <3 A dose of happy before bed~ I spend lots of my time in the dreary afternoons (Hint, hint, Monsieur Soleil, please fix this) scrolling down pages and pages of blogs. Today in particular it was Topshop! They have a little wonderful collection section, with a nice little lookbook.Pour les garcons, il y a Topman~ Please shop there, cute clothes on cute boys are just tasty. 

I would like to draw boy's clothes, but I'm just not to sure what persons of that particular sub-species like. But I adore drawing their little blazers et leurs pantalons! C'est amusant. 

During school I have been bored. I could go for a connection right now. 

I SEE YOU! 

(Avatar?)

Oh, but I still love my friends, of course. 

Mother went shopping with us Sunday, and it was tres amusant. Well, towards the end. We bought Sarsparilla from Marshall's as usual, and mother made her usual buy at Coach (I'm just kidding).. and mother bought us pretty little underclothes~ The highlight of my day! And something else.

If I could, I would take a highlighter and highlight every nook and cranny of a day! It would be tres bright.

(Monsieur Soleil!)

Back

Currently I am waiting for papa to come back with the car, so I can go to the mall. I wonder if -3 hours will be enough for H&M. I want their $5 swim wear. Too bad it's all bikinis.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ME IN A BIKINI?
Non. Tu ne veux pas ca!

Alright. So I have a habit of drawing pictures of boys with nice hair <3 I feel like a little stalker with my strange ways. I can't help it sometimes. It makes me bubbly!

Anyways, it makes me sad I can't get one too.
Papa just came back.

Cat-urday

(VIA Jak&Jil "Tanned")

Today I will be going to hunt cellos! Fun fun. Are Hermann Meyers nice?

Hier, c'était la fête "CMEAS"! C'était amusant! I chatted with orchestra friends, and playing was iffy.. but I bought sodas. And later we stuffed them into Phyllis's back-pack so mama would not find out~ 

Isn't that bag just so wonderfully equestrian? I never knew that that meant horses, by the way.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai un rendez-vous avec une vieil amie a une heure de l'apres-midi. Nous allons manger à une petit restaurant. :) (Today I have a lunch date with an old friend at 1:00; we're going to eat at a small restaurant) And perhaps we'll have to go shopping later~ (Hint, mother)

Looking Glass: Le 12 Mai

 (VIA Street Peeper "Studded Collar")

I love love love what this fellow is wearing. Dapper boys <3 If I was a boy..

I've finished my bug project! A giant weighted bug has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel wonderful~
But I can't help but have an urge to catch a bug when I see it. Like a certain wonderfully big beetle I saw today.

I had a pleasant chat avec ma soeur aujourd'hui, about the planets and life on mars and the universe.. et we agree, boys are a pleasant subspecies to talk about.

Looking Glass: Le 8 Mai

Some pictures from my reader I just love <3 Like this one! It was taken by Jak&Jil's Tommy Ton, from his "Designer to Watch", Dion Lee. IT'S SO PRETTY.

Today is the CSF car wash; but mother said I couldn't go, because when she thinks if "car wash" she thinks of topless girls giving car washes to pervs. AND I WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM. I'm just kidding. I was going to be a fully clothed sign holder.

Mother's day tomorrow, and I have to go to KFC to buy mom grilled chicken. Maybe some diamond earrings too. Not from KFC.

MEOW

Cats that show up by the click <3 Complete with cat sounds too!
This is where I'll be on my Sunday afternoons :)

Bug catching is almost due~ The other day I was snooping around my backyard, hunting little bugs, and I saw a pretty printed insect glued to a leaf.. so I plied it off and stuck it in my kill jar. It proceded to squirm and squish,
like a caterpillar! Caterpillars frightened me, so I ran off, abandoning my lonely net outside.

My diary is almost full.

Someone's getting older

What horrible shaking pictures. I think Kitty realized I was taking pictures and got irritated. It was his birthday a couple days ago, the 24th! But I didn't realize until Rucha told me the next day. I'm such a wonderful owner.

Yesterday, we went to Ruskin to help Natasha with her drawings! (Coloring duty!) and we went fabric shopping.. then to Costco for 52 cent sodas. Afterwards we hung out in the multipurpose room, coloring and chatting about lots of things.

Today is my cousin's birthday party. It seems like we have one every week. So so many little children.
My grandma and grandpa are like head honchos of a mob. But we aren't Italian.

Later going to Target. Maybe the Jean-Paul Gaultier trench ($44 on sale) will still be there?

Pour Moi

My mom grew up listening to this song; le garcon est de l'ecole de le frere de ma mere.
Yes yes, this is what a chinese karaoke song/mv looks like. It's nerd chic y'all.

Anywho, with the cover (and this was true) of buying M&M's for math class, mother took me to Target yesterday, so I could spy the Zac Posen collection in it's.. deuxieme ou troisieme day of opening. It was beautiful - the swimsuits were too slutty pour la mere, of course; No american one pieces pour moi!

Do you have great hair?

Keke. I was scrolling through Refinery29, and came across this article. Thank you thank you, you made my day! Click here to read the rest

Snippets: Pour Ma Mère

Yes yes. Part one of my plan is complete.

Snippets: Le 21 Avril

No.6

How I love, love, love you No.6!
No.6 is not a spin-off of Chanel No.5; No.6 is a designer with lovely prints, etc.

My mom knows a guy who actually says "Etc., etc" after his sentences, by the way.

Directed into my attention first by Nylon, then by Refinery29, here are their lovely pictures!
(VIA Refinery29)

I could melt into those patterns. WITH THOSE DRESSES, I CAN.
Like those depression ads, only with brighter colours.

EXPLOSION!

A volcano in Chile! (Thank you thank you National Geographic) Sometimes I can be such a science nerd. But it's pretty, isn't it?

A little dollar

Ooh, my heart just popped when I saw this!

The Outnet $1 Sale Support Group: Who Scored, Who Didn't, And Who's Pissed

I'm sad, sad. Now who wouldn't want designer goodies for $1? No one >:I Anyways, I'll have to wake up at 3:30 am next time..

I'm going to get rid of the sad bit in my heart, by having some good 'ol carnival fun! 

Sailorboy

I like this. Well, it is a boy's. But it looks nice :) ! I want a captain's jacket, yessiree, but in a girl's form. And a sailor-moon collar jacket.

The carnival is in town!

My mother predicts happier weather ahead! She likes to predict things. Like my grandmother.

Target announced their new collaboration avec Tucker by Gaby Basora, whom I'm not super familiar with. But prints are d'accord with moi.

I like to practice mon francais as much as possible!

Anyways, I've been chatting with some friends, and they've got interessant things to say (With an accent aigu)! I like listening to them.


The carnival came to town today, with their flashing lights and colorful rides. Reminds me of nighttime! I'll be going.. would Carli & Connie & Jackie like to come with us?

Cute Boys With Cats

Cute boys with cats!
Haha, the boys may not be cute, but the concept & kitties sure are<3

Stuff it full!

Oh the weather the weather's got me down in the dumps. It rains and pours, with no sun peeking out from a cloud. It's so gloomy.

I want to buy these shoes, but I'm so unsure. They're sort of like wedge-ish, but curved a little in the center, but the heel is patent. And the lace-up bootie part is suede-ish. With a little winglooking cutout on both sides. Their $29! They'll be the most expensive shoe I've bought in my Asian existence!


I bought a $50 coat once, that I never ever wore. My heart has a gaping hole from where I plucked all that money out from. Yes yes, money makes a great temporary filler. I need some soul jam, or something.

STUFF STUFF.

Beach-y

It was pretty gloomy here, but it was so pretty! I felt so out of place among those surfer folk, blondies, with my turquoise blazer and all. And my mama wanted to climb a mountain, but I was grouchy because it was eight, and three hours past my dinner time >:I So we hopped in the car after half an hour and ate some chinese. We were sitting on the beach, so my toes were filled with sand. Papa yelled at me later for getting it on the car.

South Coast

The South Coast Mall, looks like Disneyland. Yes, there was sun there too, because of the giant 'ol sunroof.

Deuxième Jour

1h15

Hello! The family got back from wonderful L.A yesterday night, and the weather is horrible here in tech valley. I wanted so much to stay longer in the sun down there, but school. Je n'aime pas l'ecole.

We took a trip to the Irvine Spectrum, a semi-fancy little mall. Il est beau. But I was a bit disappointed at the small shoe aisle at Nordstrom's. I thought it would be huge! ): It was okay though,
 because the sister and me ran around to stand in the sun. There was lots of sun.
 
I wish we could've ridden the giant ferris wheel though,
dommage.

It's off to see the wizard!

 (VIA GiltGroupe)

Alexander McQueen is at Gilt Groupe, starting 9 am Pacific time today! Hohoho, but I'm not sure I'd spend 4 figures to buy it. Dommage.
Even Zac Posen costs in the $50's... that's still to much for a San Josean like moi.

Today I'm off to L.A. Hopefully my camera will work, so I can snap up some pictures.

Now I must finish downloading Gaga  to my MP3.

Bête

We were reading through all this old stuff, here and there,

being all nostalgic!

Oui, sometimes I think I'm a loooser, because I miss all the power rangers! 'Course, things won't ever be the same :/ I never took a picture of all of us! I don't think I appreciated it much either. Dommage. 

Je l'aurais apprécié!Oui, I really should've appreciated you guys more.

Tomorrow, I'm traveling to L.A., pour les garcons mignons? Non! Pour le feeling of walking in the sunshine. I miss the sunshine. My cousins from Malaysia said that I photosynthesize. Yes, like a flower.

I need my Vitamin D.

Whenever I travel from San Jose, I get all homesick. Even if it's just a day! Frances et bête, n'est pas?

Moods

Recently mama's been in a horrible mood, because pops keeps bothering her, about certain things. If she's in a bad mood, we don't get to go anywhere ): And she gets more wrinkle creases! I like my mothers yooouung. And she does too! I hope she gets some sleep.

Anywho, we're supposed to go to a movie today, I'm not sure which. I need some suggestions.

I was reading up on Refinery29, and heard about Cynthia Vincent(April 18) for Target (Sandals, sandals with heels, sandals with wedges [I want this one]) - It makes me really happy that Target is collaborating with so many designers! There was..
1.Anna Sui
2. Rodarte
3. Liberty For London
4. Jean Paul Gaultier
5. Zac Posen (April 25)
I'm sure there were more, but I can't remember right now.

Her shoe (Black Wedged Sandal)

Et, je veux un jean trouser. Aussi via Refinery29. I need to find some new blogs.

Haha, who knew they were first?

(Pictures all VIA Style Bubble)
Yesterday was the Doc Marten anniversary! I didn't realize until I read Susie Bubble's post.
She posted pictures from the London store, with $20 Doc Martens. Now I wish I lived in London. but the weather would kill me :I

I might go to L.A., where the sun is. Oui, sunbathing all day. And mom wanted to go to the Grand Canyon.

Go Big

Viktor & Rolf's Spring '10 collection is BIG.



But they had their smaller ones too,

It's all so pretty, and out-there. In a very good way of course. I still can't get over their Fall '09 stuff, though.

All the dandy boys

Oh, the weather's been bi-polar lately..
but that means more clothing choices!
To outerwear.. or not?

Anywho, I stumbled across The Dandy Project VIA trusted old Refinery29 (Their features are wonderful! Especially their long lists of goodies)Ooh, if only he DIY'd girl things, because that'd be wonderful~
His DIY on the Late Alexander McQueen's paint shirt is spot on, and he even has a chicken he plucks feathers from to make necklaces o:

And my mama will be back soon! With her yummy treats from Malaysia.. and perhaps some clothes?
I miss their 10 story malls..

Today I am going to go a full day without a giant yam.
