song of the day

Stardust by W & Whale
So this song's been on repeat wherever and whenever I listen to music. I think I forget all the other songs out there in the world........ This is how much I listen to this. Korean indie rock has surpassed my expectations in a whole new way.


Umbrella feat. Younha by Epik High
Recently, my mother has been listening to Epik High a lot. I only liked one song, Coffee, but I've been really really really really liking this one now.

yuri only

This was a loooooong editorial. I grabbed shots of Yuri only.

lace bow

Up from a long nap yesterday. Lace bow was called for.
Sorry for my face and its horrid status.

tomotomo hairhair

Tomotomo is a Japanese hair styling magazine. It's not one of those really crowded, whole bunch of hair styles, and flashy Japanese magazines they have at those Chinese hair salons.. but Tomotomo is more of a graphic and editorial-y hair magazine. There's also a section where it teaches you how to cut a certain style on a mannequin head. Great for hair students !! And then there are very detailed spreads teaching how to curl and style your hair in variety of lengths !! All in all, to me, this magazine is a fantastic short read that one must get a hold of. :) :) :)

Oh, and each issue differs on focus. The most recent one was on women hair styles, but the issue before was on men's. Interesting !!

SCARF HEADS. I went bonkers after seeing this and dragged my little sis to making these come true in real life. IT'S REALLY HARD. I ONLY SUCCEEDED.. VAGUELY.



SHORT. If only I had short hair.. If only I can just grow my hair to its length now in like a month after this cut.. To go from my length to a short one is easy, but it's the coming back that's hard. BUT ISN'T THIS THE CUTEST HAIR EVER !??!!?



BANGS. I grew my bangs out all summer. It was a pain, and it is also painful when I see beautiful pictures of gorgeously curled, voluminous bangs.

scuba

Went scubadiving.. If you can even call it that. It was our first time, so we had to go through a classroom session and we were only allowed to play in the shallow end of an indoor pool. We learned the basics, though !!
Miss my friend who zoomed off to Montreal for school.. another few months without her ! :'( :'( COME BACK SOOONSISIEEESS !! :( :( :(

Fall's almost here. Look back at Preen and The Row. What you need----

Preen FW 2010

Black and texture. It's all leather and little expose and velour and fuzz.
We want all that gloss, sheer, and middle parts.

$8

The day of the Pride Parade was sort of a failed one.. My friend, Ange and I went down to Downtown a little too late to catch the parade. BUT !! Ange did snag a vintage suitcase for $8. YAY ~ Then we caught some air down by English Bay. It was a hot hot hot summer day to be remembered. OH AND PLUS.. I truly am not in my finest. LOL.
Wearing: MY LOST LONG GONE PEARL NECKLACE. BYEBYE PEARLS.

Guu Garden

The Guu Izakaya chain in Vancouver is one that I really really really really love. My friends and I frequent their restaurants very often. And all five of them are easily my favourite restaurants in Vancouver.
Few weeks ago, my friends, Dayeon and Tina, and I went to Guu Garden, the newest of their five izakayas. Located on Hornby and Nelson, but a little hard to find. It was a quiet lunch date with excellent service and food.


The menu

Pumpkin Croquette

Cheese tofu

....some salad I do not recall anymore !! :'( SORRY.

Green bean tempura w/ mayo

Tuna melon -- THIS WAS THE BEST DISH !!


Then being girls, we went out for dessert to Barefoot Kitchen located on Denman and Davie. Right by the beach. It's sort of a basement restaurant.. and also not very easy to find. But it had great authentic Japanese shaved ice. MMMmmm. Can't wait to go back for some more green tea shaved ice !! We also ordered a strawberry sundae. :)

Steveston

Just another family trip down to Steveston, Richmond.

song of the day

Suddenly 29 by 3rd Line Butterfly
A folk-y beginning with a twist in the middle and a scratchy voice painfully stroking your ear drum. This indeed is a beautiful Korean indie masterpiece. Complete with an easy black & white music video. Pleasant listening.


PS. I'M LEAVING FOR OSOYOOS IN LIKE FIVE HOURS. FOR CAMPING. YAAYYY. See you kids lataaa.

now

Today my plans include drinking bubble tea at Kerrisdale and going scuba diving with a friend who will leave for school this weekend. It's mildly exciting. Had some nitchy time so a quick webcam shot.
Wearing new F21 lace top with black lace bra and jean button skirt with vintage belt. Oh, and no make up except.. I lined my eyebrows. So sorry for the tired looking face. I am tired.
