kicking my shoes off

a love hate relationship. besides in relation to nutella and justin bieber, those words have not held much more feeling and meaning to me than in terms of blogging. that sounds like a harsh thing (and a very hard to grammatically correctly put thing). but it only means that much to me.

most of my "recent" posts seem to have solely showcased my remorse for not being stable with the so called act of blogging. to hash it out with you, i think because i was 'scared' of 'not regularly posting,' i posted less regularly. but a void has been screaming from the depths of me. and as i've been hesitantly looking into that lonely valley, i have made a peace treaty with this lost entity. in other english words: i've come to terms--in a super good way. i'm not going to do your typical every 3 days an outfit post with a little diary format and maybe a personal post with instagram or some edited life pics to top off the week (if you do, i give you the best props because obviously i struggle with that). but i have faith in unofficialism. so let's face it, these posts will be random--be it three times a week, or three times a month--but they will kick ass. hopefully they'll fall under one of these cat(egorie)s

outfits | music | journals (photos/english) | notes (i.e. midnight streams of consciousness)

in complete relevance to this, i am indescribably excited for this new year of college because i am now creating my own major--or 'concentration' since anything else is obviously too mainstream--so i can study all the things i have ever dreamed of and not be limited by course/major requirements, etc. such is this amazing nyc life. just goes to show, this fiesty asian girl cannot be tamed--by typical blogging format, major requirements, mainstream love/hate for bieber, etcetera.

speaking of nyc livin', some pictures from me to you. my pal chuck took these in greenwich village, so all the credit and luv to him....

i post this with reluctance but let's be real, a funny photo is a funny photo.

call me maybe and i'll get angry?

until next time <3>

so right now - an ode to my love hate relationship with/for/appropriate-preposition bieber

sand in my sweater: isabelle

it's midnight. i have work in the morning. and i'm still writing this. i really don't understand my blogging habits and i'm never sure how i haven't given up not writing about my blogging spontaneity to start most of my 'recent' posts. anyway!

i recently returned from a homecoming in seattle, only to lock away some of my favorite days in my life (although there are many, but they aren't every day). to ensue: more journal-esque photos and erin-ish writing of my five-day seattle summer (i was going to say sappy writing, then would have edited that to broody writing, then darkly humorous writing, then i just went for erin writing. whether or not you agree with any of those adjectives, i guess you'll have to accept the fact that i write my writing.) for the moment, in order to quench both my desire for rebellious late night blogging/test my morning abilities to stay sane, and your itch to know something about erin's modern life: some photos of someone you might call a chum from my chum bucket. 

7am. alki beach. good old seattle, washington.

to be continued (with photos of isabelle avec erin)...

call it what you want - foster the people

cats. more animals. something like home.

hoping pictures will speak its thousands of words that they're meant to be worth to substitute for my inability to look at a computer screen any longer as i look at computer screens for 10 straight hours for my internship every summer day. but i really do enjoy it, trust me. 

unedited, uncut outfit photos, i believe these were my last ones before i moved out of my freshman dorm. i dont know when i will find stairwells like that again. on that note, i dont know how i will take outfits photos again. crap. 

[wow i sound really bitter right now, but i promise i am smiling as we speak.] ;(

sweater--friend, dress--h&m (one of my favs!), flats--cathy jean, bag--zara (bday gift from mom!) 

@bronx zoo: otters and twig insects and atlas beetles, oh my!

 just strollin' like a peacock does. whatitdo.

subway ride downtown

a quick shot at the guggenheim:

 my dorm room before i took it all down:

 why yes i did have christmas decorum up from december til may.

i went to a few concerts to say the least. 

good night. buenas noches. sayonara. until i spontaneously decide to blog again.

song of the moment - 

the black keys - gold on the ceiling (saw them live in madison square garden and it was real)
