Photobooth search

Taken at Seattle's Bon Macy's jrs. section, circa spring of 2005.

My sister and I just adore (more like LOVVVVVVVE) photobooths. There aren't many in Hawaii, the newest one I've seen was the Bamboobooth on display at ARTafterDARK. So far the best on the island was at Ice Palace (where I think I spent close to $20).

PR Rundown

No not PR as in Public Relations (my useless college major, sort of not really)... PR as in PROJECT RUNWAY.

So I haven't been really following this season at all, it is until I got sick this past weekend (blessing in disguise? perhaps). Actually after all of my favorite designers from Seasons 1-4 ALL lost, I have been really hesitant to get hooked onto the show since then. My favorites by the way in order of season were Kara Saun, Daniel Vosovic, Michael Knight, and Jillian Lewis.

As for season 5, after watching just 3 episodes, here is what I have gathered... What is up with Suede talking about himself in the third person? It's like listening to Elmo, who does he think he is? And don't even get me started with Kenley... the girl doesn't take criticism from anybody, she ain't going nowhere in the fashion biz if she can't take the heat. My top three are Leanne, Jerrell, and Korto, with Leanne being my favorite. Here's a sampling of their Spring 09 Fashion Week shows:
(it's in order Leanne, Jerrell, and Korto.)

Remembering

This blog is coming a bit late, I didn't get to finish this on the day of so I saved it as a draft. But better late than never right! Well here goes...
It's been seven years since the attacks on 09.11. Time flies but the events are just so vivid in my mind. I was a freshmen in college, still adjusting to living at the dorms. That morning I planned on sleeping in, it was a Tuesday I think and I only had one class at 12 p.m. English 100. Both Anna and I were still sleeping when we received a call from our friend Kay downstairs. Groggy I answer and the first thing I hear is "We're under attack." Huh? I look outside our window, Les Murakami Stadium and Stan Sheriff Center still standing, but oddly no football practice going on. Still not getting it. "Just turn on your TV, wake up Anna." And with that Kay hung up. After that I watched Tower II go down in shock. I went to class, campus was dead, no one knew what to do or say.
Four years later on my trip to NYC (best trip EVER) the site where the Twin Towers was at the top of list of places we needed to visit. It was a very somber moment, with all the people going here or there in New York, around the area it was quiet, no one spoke a word. There was a tattered flag, a old man playing haunting songs on a recorder, pictures and memorials. This is one of a firefighter, you can't really tell but the look had so much emotion.
It was something I'll never forget.

things that get on my nerves, make me roll my eyes and shake my head in dismay... it's my bitch list:

-when people talk loud for no reason. it's a normal conversation about let's say what's for lunch between two people, why do you need everyone in the office or neighborhood to hear. Places that loud conversing should be appropriate: loud places (bars, clubs, concerts, outdoors), when you are really excited (and NO i don't believe someone could be THAT excited about all aspects of life), when it is a speech.

-people who get cheap thrills on commenting anonymously on people's blog. I try to avoid reading reader comments online entirely, ruins my day. Really people? Being the "First!" comment on someone's blog, and by commenting that you were "First!," three words: GET A LIFE.

-soggy french fries. you aren't doing fried potatoes justice by serving a soggy french fry.

-dan and serena's relationship on gossip girl, I've waited all summer to see if they'd get back together. And surprise, surprise THEY did. Now it's just all cheesy and mushy, I'm over it (D&S that is, NOT GG entirely).

-name dropping.

-when my nail polish chips... the day AFTER I paint them. good grief.

... that's all for now, just thinking about this is getting on my nerves.

on a positive note: I've really been trying to be nicer and not so quick to judge. Also being more patient, getting to know people, as well as stepping out of the box.

ALSO: the Sunday after the Justin Nozuka concert, I swear I spotted him at Manoa Marketplace of all places.
