@rachelchungg

Where's the bridge ?

LESSONS OF THE DAY:

1) Don't push your luck.

2) I get by because of my friends.

3) Procrastination goes nowhere... but I like fashion.

4) Emotional stability is key, because it is hard to achieve.

5) In desperate need of change of place + pace-

6) Only about a month or so left til Whistler.

Gotta keep energy flowing, exchange warmth, and look up.
Before I get lost, before I get lost, before I lose.

WOAH

“Woah,” the little boy says walking by holding a stick and rolling a can.
Busy day. Windy. Clouds moving fast as they should in front of a complacent yet strong light blue sky in the background. The sun, hidden, never glares at the passerby’s sun shaded eyes. The boy is unsteadily rolling a crumpled can with his stick and in his left, he holds bits of paper and a wrinkled $5 bill. It blows with the wind but in his firm grip, it never leaves his not yet fully-grown hand. A hefty man, maybe his father – or his guardian – walks ahead as if he knew the boy would follow him anywhere without the needed supervision.

One wonders if the boy knew the amount of the old, #5 bill; its worth. A person may work for that or it may be more than someone’s life fortune! For some, it’s an amount that one may ask their parents for with a bruised pride or for others, it’s the smallest bill to give to a homeless on the streets.

And there is the boy. He is nonchalantly holding the bill along with the garbage scraps, belittling it into another worthless piece of paper.

Half a block down, the boy says “woah” again as the can rolls off the sidewalk into the streets. He drops his stick from his hand without second thoughts and transfers his $5 bill into his right hand fist. The man turns to the boy and tells him to hurry up.

I want that $5.

RUINED THE GREENS

TODAY I HAD TO CONDITION MY HAIR THREE TIMES TO GET ALL THE DEAD ONES OUT + CLEAR AWAY KNOTS. IT WAS TERRIBLE. I'M SURE I JUST WIPED OUT LIKE 1/8TH OF EARTH'S LEFTOVER GREENS. WAA !!!!!!!!

To rinse my sorrows away, I treat myself to hottie watching, SNOOP DOGG <3 <3 This remix is OUT OF THIS WORLD, and don't judge me that I still find Snoop Dogg ridiculously attractive. INSTANT SWOON-

Remember The Dead Weather ? Watch their hilarious interview for Rolling Stone Mag, ahahhahahhahahaha Jack White sooooo sarcastic ! Hahahhahahaha. Jack White + Karen Elson is getting a divorce (BOO) and accordingly throwing a divorce party. GG- Below the interview, is one of The Dead Weather's songs that I used to be SUPER into.

The morning was passing by slowly for her. It was as if each second had tripled and time was moving at its own pace that’s slower than her. It was terrifying. She was the one behind and it felt absolutely wrong to be ahead. She felt as if she was a prisoner, cuffed, and time was the man of the law, pointing a gun at her head and following her patiently with confidence. She felt helpless. Choked.
That was her morning.
She choked in her shower and it ended up being 40 minutes long.
She choked down her breakfast, which was leftover oatmeal from two mornings ago.
She choked while waiting for her bus to school.
And she really choked when she realized she had forgotten her tumbler of coffee at her side table in the foyer. Those side tables, she cursed. She then went over all the times she had forgotten her coffee or keys, or important documents on that side table. She cursed under her breath and then she cursed time.
The bus ride felt jerkier and longer by each minute. When she looked out to the world, the next block swerved to go out of focus, and when it was back in focus to her eyes, the block had extended. Then the bus would have to travel the extended block. She thought it was her that was causing the problem. Momentary mind fuck that she created! But each time she turned away from the window, blinked, then looked out again, the same would happen. It wasn’t her problem.
It was real.
Time was behind her and she was not running late.
She was just getting stretched and time was playing with her.
Through many hours of the morning like this, by the time she arrived at her school, her energy had depleted. Her strength gone.
She was heavy and felt like a lump of seaweed that needed to be squeezed and dried so that it could be light and crispy again.

hey gaaaaiizzzz

Finance done. It gave me an upset stomach, a headache, sleepiness, and bad taste buds. I just want to crash, but I cannot. For I've two more finals tomorrow. Then three more to go after......... Death, ain't it ?

So to survive these few brutal days and to put me into a bit of a downer is the band, Girls. Out from SF, California, Girls debuted back in 2007 but caught most of the attention in 2009 with their first record, Album. I found them via Pitchfork way back when they were showcased on a rooftop for PitchforkTV. They sounded VERY ELVIS COSTELLO and super naive.. Maybe that's why I was never GUNG HO GIRLS !!! YEAH !!!!!

But this naivete is their key point now and I've grown to like it. Past November, 2010, they released an EP, Broken Dreams Club. The six songs on it epitomizes broken dreams and you can feel the brutal honesty. I think its climax point is their track, Substance. I've posted the lyrics below; it's pretty easy to figure out what Chris is talking about. It is beautifully sad, hazy and vain, and pointlessly hopeless. And I go back and forth and back and forth trying to figure out the paths in my life and trying to get closer to Him.

PS. Try finding them on Google. Googling "girls" is hard enough but "girls band" doesn't work and "girls California" doesn't work.. Not even "girls Chet" doesn't work !! Chet as in Chet the vice-captain of the band. Instead Google gives you the search of "girls chest" and yeah, I don't mind titties, but I don't swing that way, okay ? So yeah. It's been a journey-

PPS. The lead singer and guitarist and basically the head honcho of the band, Christopher Owens, was a past member of The Children of God cult. WOOWAOOWAWOWOAHHHHh-

SUBSTANCE by GIRLS
SUBSTANCE by GIRLS
SUBSTANCE by GIRLS
and the guy on the very left with the long luscious hair, swoon-

It doesn't have to be this way / I know something / to take the corners off
and help you rock and roll / right down the road
and if you want to shape your brain / I know a substance / that gets rid of everything
and helps you rock and roll / out of control

who wants something real / when you could have nothing
why not just give up / who wants to try
let go of the wheel / turn your ass over / come on take it / it's a simple ride

i never asked to feel this way / it's something that happened / you can just go with it, man
you can rock and roll / right down the road
if you take it day by day / don't try to fight it / you can do anything, yah
you can rock and roll / out of control

who wants something real / when you could have nothing
why not just give up / who wants to try
let go of the wheel / turn your ass over / come on take it / it's a simple ride

I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
I take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
I take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
I take the key in my hand and it opens up the day

But if I had love I’d throw it all away

SNEAK PEEK TO THE NEXT BOY SHOWCASE :O :O :O WHO IS THIS ?! YA KNOWWWW ?????? ;) ;) ;)

WEBTOON N°2

Situated in the Best Dojun [베도] page of Naver, Holy Mountain 홀리마운틴 by Abikyuhwan is the reason I got into checking out Best Dojun webtoons. In case you don't know what best dojun means.. These webtoons aren't the picked, paid, and official webtoons that Naver sponsors; these are unpaid and are products of attempts to get on board the official webtoon list. Anyone can upload on the Dojun site, and the best rated ones get promoted to Best Dojun. Pretty simple.

Holy Mountain, 홀마 for short, is a story about a girl and her affiliations with the concert hall, Holy Mountain. Deals with variety of parts of life: school, Korea's idol culture, developments in the smaller areas of the cities, gangsters, and friendship. I love how it touches upon very unusual occupations and that it has viewpoints from adult characters as well as a middle schooler (the protagonist). But the whole thing has a musical background and I can proudly say that this guy has a FANTASTIC MUSIC taste ! His first episode features GIRLS !!!! I've never heard of a Korean - living in Korea - that knew about Girls when they debuted !!! TOO COOL.









홀마 also has a huge design element. This author is not only just a mangaka, but more of an artist. The way he incorporates music into each piece, he also makes sure that there are a variety of cuts and different angles. His play on text is especially interesting and his unique darker pop-art style is definitely something to note.





So I got really interested in what kind of a human Abikyuhwan was. And you can find out more about him at his blog here: click click 작가블로그 Abikyuhwan's blog click click You can tell that he loves music and manga; no wonder he can produce such a quirky masterpiece like Holy Mountain. He made me make a Naver account so that I can leave comments on Holy Mountain and on his blog, too !!!!! ><;; This is how much I love this webtoon. Sigh, hehe.

dedicated to life

EVERYDAY LIFE SOUNDS LIKE A BORE. BUT IT'S ALWAYS FULL OF BREATHS AND ORGANIC BEINGS. RIGHT ? THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE A BORE. WE SHOULD ALWAYS SHARE LOVE, FOOD, DRINKS, AND LAUGHTERS. JUST ASIDE FROM FASHION AND MUSIC AND MARKETING. HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN PREOCCUPIED WITH. SOMEWHAT.

Canzine Fest - Festival of Zines and Underground Culture. Held by Broken Pencil Magazine. Interesting finds and a nice collection of creative Vancouver locals. First time visiting W Storyeum. What a beautiful place right on the outskirts of Gastown !! Was good time spent. Look out for such events, Vancouverites.

It's just so joyful to receive little presents for no reason. The other day I received OBAMA socks from an unni; she also gave me SIMPSONS ERASER when I really needed an eraser. LOOOLL. But this one was great !! It's the cutest incense kit from Thailand !! YAAAYYYYY !! HAPPINESS. Thanks, DK.



HALLOWEEN. HALLOWEEN. HALLOWEEN. HALLOWEEN. MESSY MESSY FUN FUN HALLOWEEN.






Remembrance Day spent calmly with my lovely, Jacqueline !! We became "twins" for awhile eating late lunch at a Belgian restaurant. Then we finally hit up Bump n' Grind Cafe on Commercial Drive. The americano was thoroughly enjoyable and in my opinion, better than 49th Parallel. Am I making a big statement !? YES. Nonetheless, I still believe that 49th Parallel's coffee sure is good, too !! :) :)





I can only pray that more of such days will follow. LOVE YOU ALL. Trying to listen to happier music these days. It's working. It's happening.
