you're just not that into me

2008-12-30T10:18:00.008-05:00

dont mind the ugly picture, it's the only one that's been taken recently, since i've been away for the holidays.
life would not be the same without toblerones. you have no idea what you're missing if you've never had it. and you also have no idea how much of it i've been eating in the past days.

my christmas was okay, my new year will most likely be the same, even though i pray hard for it to be great.
actually i kind of wish i would've just stayed home, i would've avoided disappointment.
i kind of hate when people don't turn out to be who you thought they were, or who they seemed to be during your first impression of them. i should simply finally learn that it is not good to have expectations. but i can't help it. maybe there is just nothing to do about it.
maybe i'm just looking for something too great, maybe i'm the problem after all, maybe i just cannot be satisfied with anything or anybody.
i don't like when things start getting old, when relationship slowly dies, when people change.
i want things to be exciting and fun, all the time. i want people to be how i like them to be all the time. i want to be contented with everything.

but this is me asking too much.

although i feel like it's not that much.

it's not like i'm asking for luxurious cars, a mansion, an academy award, and a few magazine covers.

i've got nothing planned for the day. i'm kinda glad about that. i missed not doing anything.

i'm quite contradicting myself, aren't i?

i want attention and people around me, but then wanna be alone.

oh, god.

well, well, well

here is another picture from the shoot i did of my sister, i think i like it even more than the first one.

i'm writing this update mostly to say that i won't be updating this blog for a little while. i will be busy with christmas and new year. but wait, aren't we all going to be? so in the end, there is just no point in me updating during this period of time!

i've been shooting for the past three days. especially doing the photoshoots for impolite. i am so exhausted, i have the biggest headache ever, so i will make this short.

i hope you guys will have an amazing christmas, i can't even belive that christmas is in like 2 days, or a day. it's insane, it doesn't feel like christmas, at all.

and also, if i don't post before, happy new year!

i feel regret

2008-12-22T01:09:00.002-05:00

i've finally got some time on my hands to use my camera again, it makes me so happy, you have no idea. i bought my new camera back in september and this is like, the first time i get to use it for a serious photoshoot! the model in the picture is my sister. we were trying out the new lights that i bought for the studio i've set up at home. expect to see a lot of my photography in the near future because i don't plan on stopping it anytime soon!

under the mistletoe

2008-12-18T23:02:00.009-05:00

since we got good feedbacks for our first video, we decided to make a second one! we don't consider ourselves funny or anything, so don't expect the video to be funny. we're just having a lot fun making them.

awkward me

2008-12-18T11:09:00.002-05:00

sometimes it's interesting to see what's behind the scene.

i don't know

2008-12-17T14:12:00.006-05:00

I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore

I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore

When we think it will all become clear

‘Cuz I’m being taken over by the fear

the general specific

2008-12-16T08:06:00.006-05:00

i'm almost proud of myself for being so faithful to this website, you guys gotta admit, this is real dedication, posting almost everyday? i've never done any such thing before, it's addicting though!

today, sandrine and i are planning on working on our new video! we promised we'd have a new one eventually, and we're living up to our promise. we aren't sure yet what the subject of the video is going to be, and we figured it might be better to have one this time, just so our video doesn't end up being called "i've got nothing to say part two". but you know, christmas is coming soon, so our video might be related to that! we're also planning a lovely trip to wal mart today (yes, we're losers), so maybe we can somehow put some of that in our video.

i changed the songs of the media player, just so you have some fresh new music to listen to while you read my blog! i'm sorry if i didn't before, i had totally forgotten about it. so, those songs are pretty much what i've been listening to lately.

i almost forgot. today. today. not in a year. not in a month. today. december the 16th. the all american rejects have a new cd coming out called "when the world comes down". i've been a big fan of them for so long, and this cd has to be their best one. i didn't know what to expect, and i was scared they'd change their style of music and make it all fake and techno like basically every other bands recently, but NO! the same old all american rejects that i enjoy listening to. like drug for my ears or my brain? whatever makes more sense. so make sure you go out today, and purchase their cd. support a great band! support music!

what's the meaning?

2008-12-14T18:53:00.007-05:00

lately i've been relating my life to a few songs in a way that i never have before, and i find it strange. of course, it probably happened to you too, at least once, since it is basically the whole point of music. but, listen to me. it's to a point where i almost feel like my life is a musical. i'm not crazy, i swear. i just happen to find those songs that i can relate to so well, i could stop talking and simply play songs. maybe it never happened to me before for the simple reason that i never really cared about the lyrics. i usually like a song for it's music, or the singer. everything is different now though, i'm becoming obsessed with lyrics. i want to find their meaning, i want to know what's really behind them, and i want to write my own. is it possible to develop a psychological dependency to words? i wonder.

i'm done school, and i'm so glad i am. this semester was terrible. i considered dropping out of school so many times over the past months, i'm just not interested anymore. i don't have the motivation to keep going. only one more semester, after christmas holidays, and then it's finally over. but not really? then i have to either go to university for another couple of years, or find myself a serious job. to be honest, i don't feel like i fit in any of those two categories. i just wanna be me, i just wanna do what i wanna do when i want to, i just wanna have my little projects and use all my time to work on them. isn't it what we all want though? maybe, maybe not. as much as i feel like we're all so different, i also feel like we're all the same. in the end, we all want the same thing, whether we admit it or not. and you wanna know how i've been enjoying my first few days of vacation? i did nothing. nothing. nothing! well, i have done a few things, but nothing too groundbreaking. i wake up, i shower, i eat, i read, i draw, i watch movies, i eat again, i watch tv shows, i stay up late and god knows why, and then finally i go to bed. the next day, it starts all over again. i'm not complaining, i love it. i'm starting to feel a little weird though, i haven't gone out of my house for three days, but hey, i need a break! you can't blame me. and as though i feel like i haven't been productive, i also feel like i've been the most productive i have been in forever. i've worked on impolite, i'm done painting/drawing/editing all the designs, and the clothes are now in production. i've been updating my websites. i've been socializing or whatever it is. i've read books i've been meaning to read for so long. i've watched movies i own on dvd and never even watched before. that's quite productive to me.

i should start going out a little bit though, after all, i've still got more than a month of vacation. and, my dad is sick, and i'm so scared to just be in the same house. being sick is the worst thing ever, and i don't wanna get sick too just because he is. i'm making sure i'm taking my c vitamins every morning.

i feel like this post doesn't mean anything, or doesn't make any sense, i will stop here.

four christmases

2008-12-13T15:47:00.006-05:00

my friends called me last minute last night to ask me to go to the movies, and even though i hate when people ask me to do things last minute, i'm sure glad i went!

at first, we were supposed to go see "the day the earth stood still" and to be honest, i was hoping we wouldn't go see it. it looks kinda dumb. i'm kinda tired of all those end of the world movies, i think we've had enough. plus, i feel like the earth isn't doing so well in real life, so why make movies about it when it's now a real issue? haha

anyway, we ended up seeing four christmases, and even though i'm not a big fan of the lead actor, vince vaughn, i loved it. it seriously was the funniest movie i've seen this year. reese witherspoon was so cute in it!

guess what?

2008-12-11T22:52:00.004-05:00

i'm officially on christmas break! yay!

the only problem is that i don't have a clue what exactly i'm gonna do yet! maybe travel around, but for sure, i will keep working hard on the new clothes for impolite, that's my main priority right now.

i just sent the first few designs to production, but i'm considering working on a few more designs, the more the better! right? well i do hope so.

i'm also very happy with the feedbacks i've got on the youtube video that sandrine and i made last weekend. we really did not expect you guys to like it, so thank you. we will try to make another one soon, it should be up by next weekend or early next week, just in time for christmas!

i'm a puzzle, please complete me

2008-12-10T00:46:00.005-05:00

i'm sorry about the outfit, lol. this is me waking up after a nap. i've been so tired lately. naps don't really make me feel any better though, i always feel like a zombie when i wake up from them, not that i really know what it feels like to be a zombie.

i keep going to bed at like 2am, even though i have school the next day. but i can't help it, i've got so much work to do for school, and other projects, and i get so distracted so easily. but! last day of school tomorrow. yay! i've got some exciting plans for my holidays, so i'm very excited about it.

love or lust?

2008-12-09T12:25:00.005-05:00

i wish i would know.

i've got nothing to say

2008-12-07T17:19:00.010-05:00

gotta be able to laugh at ourselves

2008-12-04T17:08:00.003-05:00

thought i'd show the less serious side of myself. now you know what my friends and i spend our time doing in art history class. the teacher was talking about some sculptures, or whatever it was, and we never listen but we for sure caught the "one sick puppy" sentence that he said. we just had to do something silly out of it.

we always laugh so hard at our stupidity during the lectures that the two girls in front of us keep lookin back at us with that bitchy face, sometimes i feel like one of them will take a gun out of her purse and shoot us!

dragon ball what?

2008-12-03T09:24:00.004-05:00

my friend and i were at some thrift store, and she randomly picked out that ridiculous looking shirt with some dragonball-like character on it. and the nice orange-yellow thing going on. we just had to take pictures of it. we thought it was hilarious. why did people ever wear th0se? poor them. it's fun to look back at fashion trends, and laugh at ourselves. i'm glad i've never been into those, even if i was just a little kid, i'd still hate myself for it right now.

anyway, sorry for the random story. i just like to tell the story behind each of my pictures. i just had to upload this picture because one, i think my friend looks gorgeous on it, and two, it's hilarious, and three, how the hell can she still look so good with that stupid shirt over her?

i have an apointment at the dentist in thirty minutes, so annoying.

december, and last week of school!

2008-12-01T13:36:00.008-05:00

almost done! almost done! almost done!
well i've got one semester to go after the holidays, but still!

i've got to work on my final assignment for my humanities class, it's due wednesday, and it has to be like... 2000 words long. such a bummer, and the typical me hasn't even started writing it yet. it's interesting to write though, i decided to write a paper about the native americans. i find their story to be very touching.

i worked all weekend on the designs for impolite, and *drum roll* it's almost done! i've just got to make some final arrangements and send them to production!
i'm so excited!

excuse me, are those black lines painted?

2008-11-30T09:27:00.007-05:00

last night my sister and i were in the living room, she was reading and i was painting, and then for some random reasons i asked her if she thought it was weird that zebras had such a complicated and perfect pattern of black and white lines on their fur and this led us to a long and interesting conversation. we ended up concluding that they're the most fascinating and mysterious animal. are we just weird, or have you too thought about this before? my sister was mostly fascinated by the fact that the stripes perfectly went all the way up that line of fur they've got on top of their body.

how it ends

2008-11-29T10:03:00.010-05:00

i've seen the movie little miss sunshine countless of times, and just yesterday i got the soundtrack of the movie that i ordered on amazon since i haven't been able to find it in stores. these are the lyrics from one of the songs on the soundtrack. one of my favorite songs ever.

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast.

Gonna put it to the test.

You want it to be blessed.

And in your heart,

You know it to be true,

You know what you gotta do.

They all depend on you.

And you already know.

Yeah, you already know how this will end.

There is no escape,

From the slave-catchers' songs.

For all of the loved ones gone.

Forever's not so long.

And in your soul,

They poked a million holes.

But you never lettem show.

C'mon it's time to go.

And you already know.

Yeah, you already know how this will end.

dancing queen

2008-11-28T15:16:00.001-05:00

so, i was at the mall with two of my friends, and one of them started dancing to the silly christmas music playing so i decided to film her cause i thought it was funny. then, some weird man just randomly started dancing with her. it might not seem that funny to you since you weren't there, but i think we laughed hysterically about it for 2 hours.

sober

2008-11-27T10:46:00.007-05:00

pink's new music video for the song sober. definitely worth watching!

busy, busy, busy

2008-11-26T12:54:00.013-05:00

i don't think i have ever been that busy in my entire life. it is so stressful. this week is my last week of school, and i've got so much work and preparation for the final exams. and it's such a bad timing because i've also got to finish working on my designs for impolite and send them to production! i have a lot of apointments with the bank, and my business advisors, so much complications. i really wanted them to be out just before christmas since a lot of you said it would be very nice, but i'm not sure whether it's going to happen or not! i'm trying my best though. on the bright side, this time hoodies will definitely be available! you can always suggest colors for t-shirts, hoodies. it's always good to know what color people like to wear!

the picture on the left is another shot from that photoshoot i had a few weeks ago. i think i like it a lot better than the first one, i somehow look less.. awkward on it? or maybe that's just me! oh and keep in mind, you will always see everything here first, so make sure you visit pretty often!

gotta go back to my english homework!

i'll keep you guys updated!

2008-11-21T21:11:00.006-05:00
