Frappe Rush

October 20, 2011


Wore my mustard/yellow sheer top with white shorts, braided belt, bangles and moccasins. After my ENG101 class in the morning, sat by the bench to wait for the budds. GR comes first and we were both craving for a frappe. Impulse decision to drive to Mcdonald's before class starts. Ran to her car, GC calls - and crap, she just got her braces off and wanted to show us but we've already left :( Parked, shoe fell off while i tried to get out of the car, ran inside while a guy in the truck laughs at us. Ordered quick, left running, back to school a minute before class starts and made it in just 13 minutes. Good thing Mcdonald's wasn't too far and thanks to GR for being an awesome driver. As I sat in my seat, SC was giving me the silent treatment or whatever. Sorry it had to be that way. Anyways, yeah. Highlight of my day.

So I Won't Even Start

David Choi - Won't Even Start

What happened
after last summer
when we broke up
in September

I havent seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
Its always there no matter where Ive been

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
Thats the best
I can do for you

Cuz youll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah its hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it'll cut me like a knife

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

Ill be ok, Ill be ok
Or thats what Ill say

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Cuz if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
Oh I wont even start
No I wont even start

*I can't believe Im just hearing this song. It's crazy how much I can relate to it - every word.

Brief skip of a heart beat

October 12, 2011

Me and GR have been trying to get our schedules set up. Fb chat, and then RP pops up. Hi, havent seen you in awhile, how's college? dance? hate to start a conversation and say bye, sorry, goodnight. Yeah. thanks a lot. I tried so hard to forget yet you come out of nowhere and trip me once again. eff. At least my Spring 2012 schedule works out. 3 classes with GR, carpool to Main, and a harder chemistry class.

Stars and Glasses

October 10, 2011
I've been listening to too much Indie/Rock and Acoustic. It calms me. Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Ed Sheeran, Phoenix. Outfit of the day: silk navy star-print shirt, distressed shorts, navy flats, vintage round shades - inspired by Trixia.

October 11, 2011
Me and GR were supposed to match boots today, since she got new shoes yesterday. Too bad she woke up at 12 noon, when all classes were over.. I wore my mustard shorts, with a beige cami underneath my floral cover-up. Worked out for 3 hours at the gym and got a free gatorade bottle. Home by 5pm, chemistry hw, and a random dress up photo-op: faded pink shirt, white shorts, braided belt, beige wedges, nerd glasses.

Breezy Chill Day

October 8, 2011
GR's get-together birthday party.
10:00 - Garage sale in the morning, bought a Starbucks gift card at Fry's
1:00 - ready (awfully late), picked up SC at Mcdonald's
2:00 - Polar Ice Skating (free tickets thanks to this lady)
3:00 - Rio Vista Park (rode with GR's bf's twin, with D and A)
Another long day with GR and more of her friends this time. Ice skating was fun, I missed it a lot. Drove and got a little lost with RJ, D, A. Met up with GC and 3 other filipinos at the park, and more of her high school/youth group friends. Played ninja with J, IR, D, GC, AP, SC; guitar, ukulele, baby audrina, GR's mother and step sister, GC's ex, shortie JL, hilarious J, ripstick, 9 boxes of pizza, circle, cupcakes and candies, her nice friends. Drove home with GC, AP, SC. Fun day for sure, but I was so exhausted right after.

Today was definitely long and busy but I had fun hanging out with them. I learned that we had so much more in common than before! It's so crazy. Rushed this morning, dumping out a ton of clothes to sell. Wore shorts, flats, racerback tank under a silk floral cover-up, with my suitcase like shoulder bag. Got some frappe in the morning, shopped at F21, over-enthusiastic employee lady helping me out with my shopping list - she got a ton of scarves, asked me what style I like (she liked indie/boho as well). Ate lunch at Chik-fil-A, met up with her friend A and she brought a friend because he said he needed help changing his 'prep' style. Back to the mall, got a teal sweatshirt and cream scarf at F21, went to Pacsun and me and GR both got a dress (buy 1 get 1 free, so we both paid only $10), we both liked the beige/mustard pants, Charlotte Russe - the brown long boots i wanted was sold out, she got lace and knit tights. Checked out the price for those mustard pants, she went back to Pacsun, i went to F21, called and took pictures (the pacsun pants were better but more expensive, didnt buy it), met up at clothing co, back to F21. Dejected because we both didn't find the boots we wanted (she wanted the brown ankle oxford-ish boots i had). She realized i had feather extensions in my hair,; our parents were the same when it comes to shopping; rusty/mustard colored shirts, vintage dress, oxfords. At 3pm, picked up her bro IR and her bf's bro TH. Played guitar at her house, found out she sang for her church with a band, printed out chords, her teal/greenish room, christian bands on her wall. 7pm - ate tacos, chilly outside so i wore my new cream scarf, phoenix art museum, shuttle bus, walked around, fuze drinks, scary people with halloween costumes, recieved a black rose (hair salon coupon), sweetsauce shirts, waited for a train but ended up walking a quarter of a mile. Tiring day for sure. It was fun, got to know her and a whole lot of her friends.

Thursday Tights

October 6, 2011
GR's birthday! Planned to wear our new tights on this day - i had black lace tights, she got red striped tights. I wore my rusty 3/4 sleeve dolman top with ripped shorts, grey scarf, and navy flats. She was wearing a grey vintage-y dress with a red scarf, and black flats. Yeeeaaa.
Anyways, I wanted to surprise her with cupcakes or cookies but she was allergic to wheat foods. How depressing. So instead, I asked her what treats she likes and she's down for snickers. I also gave her some vintage pearls and hair clip, and wrote a happy birthday post-it on the gift bag. It turned out pretty simple and adorable. ENG101 class first, funny and cool people, i love sitting in the back. After, waited for GC outside her class, met up with GR, SC, and BY by our usual bench spot. Greeted GR, gave her the gift bag, loved it. MAT150 next, lunch, 'fish net' is not the same as my lace tights. no. homework in the library, texting plans for tomorrow, fitness center at 2:00pm, while I was on the elliptical, i felt a tap on my shoulder and it was GC's cousin AC! Hahah how sweet, he said he'd say hi the next time he sees me so there we go. I was so worried it'd be awkward but it wasn't. It really just depends on how you handle the situation. We talked for a little bit, then he left. After the gym, I went outside to wait for my uncle and cousins to pick me up. 
-----------------------------------------
I wrote this on my tumblr while waiting: 
It’s so nice out that I’d rather sit out here by the bench than wait inside the library. Mhmm college is great. But once I transfer to a university, that’s when it changes for the better or worse (hopefully not). Today is GR’s bday so I brought her some snickers and vintage pearls and bangles, we also planned to wear tights and scarves today. Matching! Tomorrow, I’ll be spending the day with her and her sister at the mall since we have SO MUCH in common when it comes to shopping. Yeaa, then that night, I’ll be going with her to this first friday event at downtown phoenix! Then on Saturday, we celebrate her birthday at polar ice, and then hang out at rio vista park and maybe watch a movie that night. Wow that’s a whole week with her! I can’t believe I’m only meeting her in college: I mean, we both write shopping lists, to-do lists, we like vintage, prefer shopping alone than with friends, short, and more. Oh how I love meeting friends :)
