a few of my favorite kids :)

complaining

saw some close school friends the past weekend at an opening reception at a boutique.. aka a reason to get free champagne together. i miss them! i can't believe graduation was already one month ago. what?

this morning, i got one of those drunk calls from a friend in norcalmyhome. and boy do i miss it. i haven't been home in more than 6 months, which is a big deal for me. just that, everytime i go back, things go back to the way they were. cupertino never changes, so i feel like i stop real time. i think i'm trying to not go back for some weird reason, but i don't know why. because in reality i miss it.

i think what i complain about most in life is when i miss people and things. and being cold.

somehow, we made it out alive

i graduated parsons fashion department, which means i went to boot camp, went to war, and came back in one piece. the graduation was short and sweet, and i was thankful i got to wear junya watanabe over a disgusting red-orange-maroon cap and gown. that color really doesn't do anyone any favors. after, we went to Saks Fifth Ave for a cocktail party and enjoyed my name + clothes being displayed. it's kind of surreal. my mum was really cute, she didn't know what to wear. in the end she wore pink white and black to match my collec. and i think she is the only one in the family who can pull off issey miyake pleats please pants. srsly.


there is Napoleon, standing on a really nice looking table with amazing chandelier display. thank you Swarovski!

"dad, it's a cocktail party. what are you wearing?".
"jeans"
"jeans? (the levi 505 originals he's been buying for the past 10-20 years)"
"yah. it's fashion"

does the noise in my head bother you?

an old friend from japan is visiting so i took her out on a night i should've probably stayed sober and did homework. my pile of work is rather large right now and looks like this week is another no-sleeping week.

fashion week is over in ny. alot of shows were really dry. goodness. i can't wait until paris. we can skip milan.

why is new york feeling like a disgusting sauna these days?


my life right now. can someone send me some more 7stars?

YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR HEART SKIPS A BEAT- AND YOUR MIND SKIPS A THOUGHT.

today i became really sleepy inbetween classes so i napped in knitting for a few minutes. when i woke up my arm was numb and soon i felt all my blood running through my vessels.

after class i needed to finish my jacket so i went to work on it but i got so frustrated and i was skipping beats, so i took an hour walk.

then i went back to school at 9pm, and kind of finished it.

and decided fashion school is not healthy because it drains me out.

happy birthday emily

mid way thru the night eddie and i ran out of solas to buy emily a slice of mudcake from around the clock- totes spontaenous. then we ran to duane and reads, but it was closed so we ran two blocks to walgreens to buy candles. then we sang happy birthday but maybe she doesnt remember.

the room is on fire.

when i came home yesterday night i admit i was a little tips and i started to write an entry but didn't post it. basically there are lots of great people at my school- everyone's on fire, you know what i mean? but i got a little sad with the fact some of us are just friends because we go to school together. 

but i thought

even if we aren't friends tomorrow 

we were today and it made me happy.

my eyes feel bruised

,kind of like when you wake up and you realize you were crying in your sleep. i think i'm just tired from a day of traveling. l.a. - texas - nyc.

i really hate airports, but i really like the sky. today when i was flying from houston to nyc, the clouds looked very dense. like ice cream- not like smog and it made me happy.

i'm sad to be back in nyc. leaving california is always a tough one.
