Since the last quarterly, I've given in and become one with my iPhone, hence "phoneface" and this drawing of me and my cousin, Karen, who is "bobaface" for almost no reason except that she loves boba again.

On January 3rd of the new year, I'm moving away from all of my favorite everythings to live and study in Stockton, CA. I'll be back in the middle part of 2012 with bachelor's degree #2 in dental hygiene (and a job, fingers crossed). Until then...the party's over! :(

Being tall, feeling small

It's been almost 3 months since my last update. I did some fun things, indescribable really, then maybe not-so-pleasant things happened, and in between these were the quiet everydays.



Vietnam and Cambodia, Winter 2010

It's been four months since and I'm still checking the weather... Merci

Back in July, I was in Paris with my family for a couple of days. We visited Merci, the "concept store" whose summer trailblazin' through the blogosphere has since died down, although not by much.

My favorites (this is where I name off pretty much every corner of the store) were the long hallway of secondhand books, the ice cream counter, the furniture showroom, the mini-haberdashery, the children's wing, and--my FAVORITE favorite--the flower shop just outside the courtyard.

To Tavi and Yokoo

A Gwiin Halloween featuring Monica as 13-year-old fashion wunderkind Tavi (aka Style Rookie) and me as fiber artist extraordinaire Yokoo. Are you familiar?

Tavi! Half your age and thrice as stylish.

Yokoo! Longtime etsy seller known for her distinct self-portraits and pageboy haircut.

<3<3 Happy Halloween!

Mumcats

aren't these so nice? intricately mummified cats. but the cats themselves aren't as nutty as the other mummified animals sharing this dark little corner of the louvre. fishies, falcons, a ram's head, and a giant alligator. rad!

Gwiin

Hello! I didn't take many photos in SF after all. Sorry... Anyway.

My BFF Monica and I have been working on a clothing label. It's called Gwiin. We are nearing the end of the beginning. No one really knows about it yet because this is the only real photo we've released to family/friends/the internet/the universe. I hope you like it.

We'll have another photo out soon (really). Then we'll launch. (Soon.)

Mrs. Blue Sky

I'm hoping that my photo-taking anxiety (or is it laziness?) will subside while i'm in SF for the week. In the meantime, here are a few from my trip through Europe. My favorite place was Le Marais district in Paris. I could definitely pack my bags and spend a good chunk of my 20s living there...

A few things I could write a book about

1. How to Get Over Some Dude That Was Your Boyfriend
2. How to Enjoy Gaining, Like, 400 Pounds
3. How to Take Really Unappetizing Photos of Food (Eating Greasy and Using Flash)
