scarf accent

you know, what i really like about anthropologie is how functional their clothing is. i love how all their dresses (that i own anyway) have pockets! it's great. although i think they might channel a bit too much boheme and could do with some more classy looks, i guess the boheme style is their thing. (i looked at their boots and they all look dirty and used-- hehe)

but anyway. i browsed their dresses and found a few that i might try if i come across them in the store on sale. but this sweater really piqued my interest. i really love how there is this silk scarf just intertwined into this wool sweater. being wool, it would definitely keep me warm. and i just love the scarf accent!

in pretty boots

i'm looking at boots again. i should really stop. i want all sorts of shoes now. pumps to wear on a more day-to-day basis... booties to wear with my jeans even though i'm trying to phase out of wearing jeans... and a high-heeled mid-calf to knee-high boot that isn't black.

anyway. so i was thinking. i wonder how tall i am. last time i went to the doctor's i was 5'6.5" and the time before that i was 5'6.75" and i really shouldn't be letting it get to my head (but i will anyway) but everyone seems to be telling me i'm taller. i'd chalk it up to them not seeing me for nearly, or over a year. but also, i have a few friends (read: 2) who say that they are 5'7" and i am clearly taller than them. (i usually tell them they are lying about their heights. heh.)

so i'm usually 114 between meals (so not while i'm starving, but i'm not stuffed either). and i can go down to 110 very easily (aka. without starving myself) although i think when i was a freshman i was about 120 lbs.

why is this relevant? well. of course! i'd love to model. (so i can fund my love affair with boots/pumps/shoes in general, clothing in general, med school? hopefully?)

given that i spent this quarter watching project runway (not too diligently) i fell in love with kojii helnwein. if i were a model. i'd be kojii helnwien. she is gorgeous. i love her look and her hair (haha. it's black against her pale white complexion. i think she's beautiful! AND she's a mother!)

according to this site, she's 109 lbs and 5'8". i guess if i want to make up for that final inch i better do some more yoga and stretch out that lazy spine of mine!

and if this all works out! i can model and wear all these pretty clothings and make money to go to med school! all in pretty boots of course. (:

taylor lautner

omg. finally saw new moon. was a horrible movie. as melody put it "too many pregnant pauses". it was annoying. but i really really really liked jacob. well. taylor lautner. i thought he was super hot. (:

went and had dinner with jesca, melody and andrew! that was fun. our bill was sorta huge though.

more cinnamon and sugar!

friday was super busy. john organized an iron chef: pumpkin for us. so that was exciting. there were four teams. team1: john, vania, byron, slu, debbie. team2: me and lulu. team3: chang, charlotte, stacy. yup. and me and lulu made three dishes too! (appetizer, entree, dessert) we had waffles of course. i forgot to bring my camera though. so no pictures.

i made pumpkin gnocchi, and to be honest. i thought it wasn't very good. i think i put in way too much nutmeg, and it ended up being a bit spicy. and i think they were too big. i'll try to make them smaller next time. but i was expecting greg to get here early enough to make them with me, so i was on a time crunch. yup. ppl said they liked the waffles, but i didn't think they were sweet enough. i just added some pumpkin mash to the waffles and nutmeg and cinnamon. next time. probably more cinnamon and some white sugar.

today we had some pretty delicious food. but i'll probably blog about it later. cuz it's late. and i wanna sleep!

kerplunk!

i have this theory. that even if you have the most mundane life. you can use your imagination and make it quite interesting. just by manipulating your own experiences, and showing your own view.

right.

then i read melody's blog.

kerplunk!

My sentiments exactly, Mika

unfortunately. i can't find a video that i can imbed. but i highly encourage you to click this. especially if you're in evanston right now.

When it rains, it rains, it rains...

My sentiments exactly, Mika. My sentiments exactly.

balsamic vinegar makes everything taste italian and delicious.

i made waffles today and had a few friends over to watch Up. it was exciting because one of the boys' names is kevin. haha. i love it. i always think of that darned bird whenever i say kevin.

waffles were good. so good, i forgot to take pictures of them. i think i have the waffles perfected now! yay! :D it's all about being patient and waiting for them to be ready.

this friday we're doing a "iron chef: pumpkin" competition. i'm teamed with lulu, greg and chenfei. chenfei is lulu's boyfriend. and according to lulu, he can't do anything. greg might not be able to come on time. so i don't know what we'll do. hah. we might be a two women team. oh well. :P

i think i'll make pumpkin gnocchi, the recipes online seem pretty easy. and putting balsamic vinegar over things seems to make everything taste italian and delicious. (:
