2007 Bloggies: Best Teen Weblog [view: normal]

...still poops on my palm when he's frightened. Nibbling on a sunflower seed:Wondering if my camera is edible:

One of today's highlights was my new bag purchase, which makes me sound unattractive, I know. What's a purse nerd to do. The best part of the day, however, was placing a spontaneous international phone call to Neptune to squeal about the purse -- there really is nothing like sharing joy, even if...

Just stumbled upon the profile page of one of my very first crushes. Hardly as adorable as I remember. I honestly thought I had that memory down pat, but I guess my subconscious must have embellished it too generously... Or perhaps the past few years have changed everything. That makes me sad. Why...

I've been getting a whole lot more emotionally attached to Pudding recently, despite the fact that I'm still hurting from Maki's passing. The other day we happened to be discussing euthanasia in class, and after the lesson I confided in a close friend that I'd cried a little. "Me too," she said,...

I've had so many things on my mind lately, but one thing in particular stands out. During an evidence law seminar some time ago, I remember the lecturer mentioning lalang within the factual matrix of a particular case. "You know what lalang is, right? It's that annoying wild grass that always gets...

Okay there is some serious sabotage going on chez Angelique. I'm not sure WHO you are or HOW you did this, but I am pleading with you to please, please, please remove the virulence from my life. I attempt to sleep at night but I hear some noise under my bed. So I peek underneath, and there's work....

"By the way, you're not allowed to buy anything until Valentine's day.""What? Why!? How am I supposed to survive for a week without shopping!?""But I want your V-day present to be a complete surprise!""Oh, you got my present already!? But... The only boutique I'll probably buy anything from is...

A pair of pink boots which I'd purchased in Korea years ago showed up today! I had forgotten about it until stumbling upon it this morning while searching for a pair of shoes that would match my (pink) outfit. I hardly wear pink nowadays -- usually it's black and white, because it's appropriate for...

I had the privilege of shadowing a lawyer to court last week, and helping her out as much as I could despite feeling feeble, clueless, diffident all day. In the first hour, I spotted a heart-stoppingly gorgeous limited edition Louis Vuitton bag hot off the runway, and if the situation had been any...

Today it is 1000. Tomorrow I will have been with the same person for 1001 days in a row and HOLY SMOKES! That is almost 13% of all the days I have lived. Seven years ago I made a pact with a few friends, and we wagered to see who would be the first to be in love with someone for a thousand days. I...

Oh dear God that was a horrible week. Law school is still undermining my sanity but I'm trying to take this day by day, and every weekend I admire the nifty countdown calendar I have on my computer and relish the number. Today's number is 462. Four Hundred And Sixty-Two. Four -- And Not Five Or Ten...

Technically this little timid hamham belongs to my dad, but I'm learning to love him as my own. Not as much as I love Maki yet, but perhaps someday I'll tear my Hamham Emotional Wall down for him. We'll see if he's adorable enough. He has a permanent look of surprise on his face because of the...

have been uneventful. On the first day, my dad bought a new hamster and named it Pudding. He'd purchased it for the sole purpose of experimentation: He'd wanted to find out if it lived longer than Maki on a diet of random scraps from our dinner table. Since Maki was my hamham (and not his), he'd...

Darn it, now I have to get used to writing dates all over again! I can't believe that it's been ten years since everyone thought the internets and everything electronic might break because of the new millennium... and now everyone's talking about 2012. *palm forehead*Happy 2010!!!

Oops... I've been so busy that the part of my brain responsible for blogging became, uh, irresponsible, and I'm sorry for falling off the face of the internets. It's not you, it's me. You still love me right? Flowers and chocolate for you? :(After Neptune and I returned from LA, we spent another...

Just thought I'd share two simple shots from Thanksgiving weekend. This first one was taken from inside the car along a random street. My brother-in-law -- well, Neptune's brother-in-law, but by extension (in my own version of reality) also my own -- couldn't understand why I was so fascinated by...

I wrote the following entry in Beijing over a week back but was too busy scrubbing to publish it. Scrubbing what, you ask? My skin, of course. And the filth from random strangers continuously stepping on my feet and knocking me about like a rag doll, especially where queues were involved. I hate...

Lady Gaga looks shockingly normal on the Jan 2010 cover of Elle magazine, as well as in her interview. I am such a huge fan, even though she did cross the line with me with her Muppet obsession. Still, she is so talented and beautiful, and I admire that she stays true to herself [Source]: If you...

OMG! I don't know why but I cannot, CANNOT for the life of me obtain a drama-free Chanel purse. Over three weeks ago, I ordered a red bag from my sales associate in Houston, Texas and had it shipped all the way from the U.S. to Singapore. That went well until I opened the box and was greeted with...

This was quite awhile back but I only found it today and it was too cute not to share! Photographed by Filippo Del Vita with model Lisa Porter, for the September 09 issue of Material Girl.Click for big, then double-click for small:The 'oops' in #2 and bangles in #11 are sooo cute! I'm also head...

Here's how I spent the last ten days:1. Work. Work work work. Oh did I mention? There was the work, and then there was more work, and when I finally finished that work, I found more work, work that worked itself into working existence somehow. So I decided that I'd had enough and wasted away three...

This stunning editorial was shot by Tyler William Parker. The nude shades against the desert sand and sky bring an almost otherworldly, ethereal quality to the pictures, and the model exudes such a quiet but undeniably haughty confidence... Yet at the same time there seems to be a sense of vacant...

My annoying essay refuses to write itself despite much cajoling on my part. Why must this be so difficult!!! All it has to do is to start existing as 5000 words, and then I'd be free to plan my 21st birthday party for next Friday! -- yes it is MY day next Friday and no one is allowed to be wittier...

I discovered this delightful collection the other day: Ruthie Davis Fall/Winter 2009I adore color accents against black, and just wish that I could wear fun shoes like these to work! Unfortunately the industry I am in (or rather, will be in soon) equates Boring with Professional. I love colors --...

Life has been a little too placid for me lately. It feels like the calm before the storm, and lately I've been so unnerved by the new-found inner peace that I ironically can no longer sleep well at night. It's really irritating, like the deafening silence of a small empty hotel room. I feel almost...
