my friend Megumi Abe is becoming such a great photographer! here is some of her work that i fell in love with! じょうず, きれいい だ ね!

other than that, i'm always so tired from work, i think i'm getting sick, and i am starting to stress out now that the semester is ending and finals are around the corner and i need to finish projects. がんばります!

Hila, le projet d'amour, posted a very nice survey which caught my attention. i've always had a soft spot for surveys anyway, i find them so fun. but i found the one on Hila's blog especially great because of it's simplicity and rule of one word answers. she had an open tag option, so i took the liberty of accepting this nice invitation. please feel free to take the survey as well if you'd like!

aren't those silk polaroid scarves really nice? i thought they were fiber art pieces at first, which they still are, but they're wearable merchandise at this cool website called Reborn. the scarves are by Philippe Roucou, the dress by Alexander Wang, and the bag by Boris Bidjan Saberi.

i got a letter in the mail today from my best friend. she included a great quote that made me smile on this quiet day: "The meaning of life is to live it, as if it were a work of art."

hope everyone's having a nice weekend :-)

i really enjoy these photos from Angus. they're all so natural and have good use of light, space, and mother nature... speaking of mother nature, today was incredibly windy!! i also wonder what type of landscape polaroid those last two photos are of. i've never see it before, i want one!

i am not looking forward to tomorrow. i have to wake up the usual early time at 5:45am for class, then right after school i work 1 - 10pm. oh my gosh, it's going to be one long tiring day :-(

i love these retro advertisements! they're so simple and beautiful. you can see much more at sugarpie honeybunch's flickr. its all so pretty!

also, did you guys see lady gaga's new music video?! my friend Ant showed me, and its absolutely great! its visually stunning with amazing costumes and fun dance moves, check it out!

i'm always so sleepy lately

the weather has gotten much more chilly

cold and flu has been going around

it's definitely winter now.

(photos that my friends shared with me)

the other day i was thinking to myself: what do you think is the most amazing/exciting/special thing that has happened to your loved ones around you? and here's a list of examples i thought of for my friends:

my sister: skydiving

malisa: her time spent here in hawaii

dawn: getting married

mitchell: japan

reise: being caressed by Beyonce', front row at her concert

erika: Bjork concert

i just find it so interesting, all the great things that happen in our lifetime. and i so i extend the question to you, all my wonderful blogger friends whom i've grown to like so much :-)

what is the most memorable thing that happened to you?
