 Appearance is a fundamental component of identity. Although genetics exert tremendous influence, you do have a measure of control over how your body looks. You control food intake and physical activity. You decide if you want to wear makeup and, if so, how much. You direct your hairstylist, manicurist, tanning salon attendant, tattoo artist. You select your clothing, shoes, and accessories. You decide how and when you will WEAR those clothing, shoes, and accessories. You, and you alone, craft the physical self that you present to the observing world. It's a lot of responsibility, that level of control. You cannot point fingers and blame others for your ill-fitting slacks and outdated hairdo. But it's also tremendously empowering. So much in life is out of your hands, so many events drop into your lap unasked for and unwanted, so many choices seem predetermined. But in this, you drive. You make every call from nail color to heel height to muscle tone to hem length. Appearance is yours to craft. And appearance is a fundamental component of identity. Who do you want to be? |

 Re-watching all seasons of Gilmore Girls, and I just started it today. & how J named my family, I think it fits. Even during just the first 5 episodes of season 1 alone, I feel my heart wrench and soar all at once. Me being Lorelai, my relationship with my sister as Rory - her, being my life source, and how close we are and how we live. Not as close as how they are, but close enough, and how Lorelai is afraid of Rory leaving and changing, and moving away from her life? I feel that, I know how it feels. The fear of losing her and not having her with you, by your side. & I look at Lorelai's relationship with Emily, and how we call my mum Emiily - their shouts and fights and outbursts, total complete mirror of how my mum and I are. & Emily says to Richard 'She's right, I don't know my daughter at all.' and I begin to tear because I'm sure my mother has said that at some point in time. Emily and Richard attacking Lorelai at Friday dinners (my family does weekly Friday dinners too, coincidentally) and how when Emily, Richard and Rory walk away together, Lorelai is left alone, sitting on a couch, feeling alone and left out. I feel exactly that way, I feel like I could lose her to them, and yet all at once I wish they'd love me as much too and that I'd had the chance to bond with them. This show, it just stirs up so much of these emotions I have towards my family, and yet it does make me happy, does make me laugh. I can never get sick of it, despite knowing the underlying meanings and similarities it has. (: & then somehow, I know, deep down, that you will always love a Rory and never a Lorelai. |

I do realise that there has been a lack of updates on school. Post-promos, a break in the monotony that is oft referred to as a 'timetable', which dictates an endless cycle of the same weekly rituals, has occurred. No more Wednesday morning Economic lectures, followed by sub-zero temperatures in LT2 for Geography with an over enthusiastic teacher who first addressed us as 'H2 Geographers'; not that I'm complaining about chipper people, but I'm pessimistic at best.
Anyway results seem to be looming, together with Oral Presentation for Project Work. I seem to be at loggerheads with everyone when it comes to getting my way; either my way or no way. Ideally, a crisp minimal Powerpoint presentation, but my teacher has an utmost liking towards colourful backgrounds and fonts in the various shades of the rainbow. I like minimal. I dress minimal. I rarely don prints unless it is absolutely necessary. Today I went out dressed in black from head to toe.
My thoughts seem incoherent. I feel like flooding this entire entry with all the unanswered questions which have been clouding my better judgment since Day One, but this isn't the right place to do so. Too lazy to open my diary and start penning everything down. Maybe soon, when I am at peace with myself and have finally realised how to let go. I have gained a substantial amount of weight since last week, even managing to out eat my male peers at school. Not something to be proud of. Well, the bed is calling for me now. Time to turn to Jesus (ah) and beg for a few miracles.

Leopard prints, everyone knows my obsession with them, prints prints prints. (I just landed my hands on a furry pink leopard print bookbag, todiefor! ) Pucci overbaked pizza snacks, lovely. Soy dark cherry mocha, OH-SO-GOOD. My star-spangled dress which makes me look like I farted stars, no seriously. The rain, it makes me chilly and feel the coming of Japan, seriously. The fact that Beijing is coming, followed by Tokyo, no what could make life even better?! Egg salad, yummm. Raw carrots, yummm. Raw cucumber, yummm. Hummus! Um, corn puffs, don't ask. Velvet leggings, ohboy. Geeky boys with strong-looking bodies. good stuff. Pixie Lott, girl is whackkk! Water, I need to actually be obsessed with water because it's good for me. Vietnamese veggie rolls - with those rice paper wraps, yes, good. Bliss Oxygenating Mask - MIRACLE WORKER! Bliss Youth - DOUBLE MIRACLE WORKER! Grey eyes, nuff said. I am currently need: Sleep.

There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and go on."

[02 Nov 2009|05:54pm] |
I am extremely exhausted from school, lacking in sleep, and totally overworked.
There's too little time for me to attempt to achieve my best, and I'm just going crazy.
Today, I felt as though I'd been hit by a huge truck called 'fatigue', full on, my whole body just wants to fall into someone's arms and lay there, sleeping, for as long as I can - I just want to sleep in complete safety and love.
Why? I realize that I give some or most people around me too much, I give too much time, effort and love.
I give my energy and my help, my concern and my care, but isn't it always the same story?
They don't see you, they don't see the effort, and somehow or other people end up looking at your flaws instead.
I'm tired of giving and giving, and having people not realize it, or just taking it for granted.
I'm spent, feeling so exhausted from all this, from trying to make people happy, from apologizing and trying my best to be nice.
It's just exhausting, I can't go out of my way anymore if no one goes out of their way for me.
I'm just so damm tired and I want to just be able to curl up and sleep and not be woken up.
You're going to realize one day, when I do stop giving, that you've taken it all for granted,
Taken me as a friend for granted, and it doesn't make me feel any better by just coming to me when you need help or you need to ask me something. It's just pure hurt, by the way.
Exhausted and worn out, both physically and emotionally.
I need some time for myself, I need someone to hold me and tell me it'll be over soon, because this is just crazy.
I don't have enough time to finish all this, but I'm going to make sure I still attempt to do my best.
It's my promise to myself.
After which, I really need time off, and reflection as to what I'm doing wrong and why people only remember me in times of need, or why they only remember me when necessary. It's too tiring for me to keep giving, just too tiring.
Thank God for family though, thank God.
On the topic of God, I really am rather pushed to go to a church and learn more, and I definitely will. That's one of my goals for the upcoming year. And university applications await.
Tokyo, tokyo, tokyo. I'll be with you soon, and I'll get that energy for a good five days, and I'll smell it and feel the adrenaline for a good 3 months at least. I cannot wait, I cannot wait to go back to the place which embraces me with its creativity and acceptance.
I'll get through this, I'll be fine. & when I am living my life, this is life, and I'm always constantly changing and reviewing my days.
When I finally realize that I'm sick of being there for you and you not being there for me, I'll walk away and you'll realize what a huge mistake that would be. I'm not the best person at times, but I do give the people I love my all, whether it be in the right form or not.

[01 Nov 2009|10:50pm] |
Definitely loving Behati, one of my favorites other than Lily D, Freja, Anja & Sasha. Love the heavy layers, and loving the details. Not to mention those sky high boots. Hopefully this is how I'll pass off in the snow in Beijing, that and ten other coats atop of me. 
In other news:
"This Is It" was extremely inspiring, I have to say, I now dispel all past negative press about the man.
Filled to the brim with school work and absolutely exhausted, but it's November! After which DECEMBER will follow! My two favorite months! I have Beijing, Tokyo & Ang Kor Wat lined up for me. I'll basically be out of the country for the entire December till Christmas. BRILLIANT BEYOND WORDS!
Halloween was crazy - CRAZY i swear, it was packed to the brim and I was basically dying.
( A picture of my dead face will be up soon. ) I definitely am getting too old to party. (:
I should start applying for schools soon. Fashion & Law, and then we'll see where it all takes me (:
BE ORGANIC!
Life is.... Hoping for some good news and miracles to happen. (: And learning along the way.
Every day is a new lesson, and I know I'm not the most perfect of people, in fact, I may be one of the most flawed, but every day I'm learning and finding my way to a better path, and improving myself. And that I'm grateful for, and grateful for all that has been given to me.
Am blessed, despite my cranky exterior at times. ( This week has been crazy. )
Adam Lambert's brand new single - brilliant. Add that to the 2012 trailer and you get this overwhelming feeling of loss.
Send me some loving! <3

"This is a tribute to the nice girls. To the nice girls who are overlooked, who become friends and nothing more. Who spend hours fixating upon their looks and their personalities and their actions because it must be that they are doing something wrong. This is for the girls who don’t give up on the first date, who don’t want to play mind games, who provide a comforting hug and supportive audience for a story they’ve heard a thousand times. This is for the girls who understand that they aren’t perfect and that the guys they’re interested in aren’t either, for the girls who flirt and laugh and worry and obsess over the slightest glance, whisper, touch because somehow they are able to keep alive that hope that maybe, just maybe this time he’ll have understood. This is a homage to the girls who laugh out loud and often, who are comfortable in skirts and sweats and combat boots, who care more then they should for guys who don’t deserve their attention. This is for the girls who have been in the trenches, who have watched other girls time and time again fake up and make up and fuck up the guys in their lives without saying a word. This is for the girls who have been there from the beginning and have heard the trite words of advice, from “there are plenty of fish in the sea” to “time heals all wounds.” This is to honor those girls who know that guys are just as scared as they are, who know that they deserve better, who are seeking to find it."

Nevertheless, I'm rly thankful 4 my colleagues who have been nth short of patient and understanding, tolerating my nonsensical behaviour time and time agn. Mixed feelings when I went 2 work today, the only thing I cld do was 2 capture photoz as keepsake. Dunnoe if I'm gna c the peeps there agn, bt at least I wld haf peektures. As much as I rly questioned the mgmt's competence sometimes, still I def learnt some stuff there.
Leaving the ppl there is hard, bt I wont miz waking up early and working in tht hot humid environment:) Goodbye sicc and everyone there:)
Peektures up soon after I develop the films.
P.S. Gt my pink cam today, so chio! AND it works okay! lol

| "Mary-Kate Olsen's $900 Million Fortune At Stake" |
[26 Oct 2009|11:37pm] |
There's an article in the National Enquirer that says MK is going to marry Nate Lowman once they hammer out the details of a pre-nup. I don't have a scanner so I typed it up. The tabs keep saying that MK and Ash are both about to get married.
Mary-Kate Olsen and boyfriend Nate Lowman are about to face off over a staggering $900 million prenuptial agreement before their wedding, say sources.
The 23-year-old star, who has amassed an astounding billion-dollar fortune with her twin Ashley, thinks artist Nate is the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with - and her legal team will make sure her massive bank account is protected before the couple walks down the aisle, says pals.
Mary-Kate began dating the handsome 30-year-old in early 2008 after they were introduced by friends. Although she was dating other men at the time, Mary-Kate quickly realized there was something special between her and Nate, and decided that she wanted to see him exclusively, says a close source.
"Since then, their love has grown to the point where it's time to take the next step in their relationship. Because many millions are at stake, there's no question that Mary-Kate's legal advisers will make sure a prenup is ironed out, and Nate's signature is ironed out, and Nate's signature is on the dotted line," said the source.
Mary-Kate is determined to be a mother by the time she's 25, say pals - and she believes Nate will make a great father. Mary-Kate has all of the nurturing qualities it takes to be a great mom. "There were plenty of guys who came before him who were wealthier," said the source. "But she knows, because of her tremendous wealth, her son or daughter will never want for money. She is in a place in her life where she wants to move on to what really counts - getting married and having children."
While Mary-Kate's rep insists "there's absolutely no truth to any of this," sources tell The Enquirer that Nate can definitely see himself married to Mary-Kate, and expects the prenup will be hammered out in the near future. He's fully aware that Mary-Kate has a fortune to protect and understands why an agreement is necessary.
While some of the artist's friends believe Nate should agree to whatever Mary-Kate's legal team draws up, "others think he shouldn't sign it too quickly - that if they do marry and it ends in divorce, he should be in a position to walk away with a big chunk of change," said a close pal of the artist.
"What's a payout of even $50 million to someone who has an empire worth $900 million?"
Mary-Kate and Ashley are partners of Dualstar Entertainment Group. Ashley will probably encourage a prenup to make sure there's no threat to the business they worked so hard to build.
"Ashley is deeply invested in their success and loves Mary-Kate will all her heart. She would never let anyone take advantage of her sister," said an Olsen family insider." said an Olsen family insider. "She knows a prenup is important to protect their vast fortune, and she certainly would look down on Nate if he contests it."
Thoughts anyone? I think MK is more serious about this guy than anyone she's been with in awhile. They are together all the time. But she doesn't strike me as the kind of girl to marry and settle down with kids young. She's a wild child and has so much money too protect, too. And this is the National Enquirer.
