Mehndi 1

I applied henna to my hands and feet. The medium is quite relaxing. You should try it yourself

Bed Head

I was woken this morning by the sound of airplanes roaring over the roof of my house - not that pleasant of a wake up call. Anyways, going to lay in bed all day, watch some movie, & study some. It is such a beautiful day out today: the air is perfect and the atmosphere is cool. Maybe I'll have some photographs for the blog in a little while, but for now my main objective is to relax (my body is sore) & study.

Abnormal

Today I feel odd. I'm not my usual even self, but a distinct lone petal on a withering poppy flower. I don't know. The rain felt good today, it was quite melodic and filled me with a constant yearn for my boyfriend who is currently watching the waters. I haven't had any memorable dreams worth describing and I did not get to study at all this weekend for Chemistry or Biology. I am just hoping that I don't have a test tomorrow.

I don't know what I am going to wear

today.

On a tangent: Wouldn't it be wonderful if humans did not have to wear clothing? Our fashion would be the way we style our hair on our head as well as the hair on our pubis. Our fashion could also be define by piercings, tattoos, or other forms of body modification if humans did not wear clothing. Whoever came up with the idea of clothing was probably just trying to hide his genitalia because he was insecure, powerful, and/or popular. Sometimes, when I really think deep, clothing seems nonsensical; perhaps it is just another way for a company to make money. And then when I think about all the other businesses out there that really are useless, it really seems like money matters.

BUT MONEY DOESN'T MATTER. What about love? Nature? Philosophy? Friendship? Compassion? Money truly cannot buy happiness & I wish my generation would rise up against the current money loving beliefs.

Small World

Here's some biology for you. These are photographs I took from my microscope in the lab today. These little guys are various organisms ranging from diatoms to parameciums.

This had to have been my favorite lab yet - working with microscopes is my forte.

Wasted Day

Lately I have absolutely no drive to do anything. I just want to sit and be nothing; no school, no people, no conversations, no anything. My body just feels too relaxed to do anything, I guess that's what I'm trying to say. I don't want to have fun because I feel as if I'm already fulfilled when it comes to satisfaction.

So I think: should I go to school anymore? Is school the only way? I believe the answer to be "yes." As long as I don't have to worry about paying for school, then I suppose I will just go with the flow - following the ways of Taoism.

Right now I'm enjoying a cup of tea and my vintage Christian Dior sweater, soon to indulge myself in a bowl of white rice and black beans conjured by my father.

Wasteful Relaxation

Watched Sex & the City all day today with my beautiful boyfriend. I think the most inspiring show is Sex & the City; there is none other like it. I feel like it really shows a woman how to be a confident woman - and let's just say I DO need a little help in the "confidence part" of being a woman. I had planned on at least studying a little bit over the weekend, which didn't happen. Now I'm going to make some chamomile tea, read some H. Potter, and go to sleep.

Note: Peace Tea is really good (but not as good as the real thing).

Happy Birthday, Father

My father made himself another cake, this time having more meaning, for the cake was his birthday cake. I've been eating so much cake that when I burp I taste cherry liquor.

Happy Birthday, Father.

Sick Stomach

Had to take some cat pictures - my cat is such the model.

I just got home from spending the night at my boyfriend's. I think I had a little bit too much fun last night.

Before going to my boyfriend's last night, my parents, my boyfriend, & I went out to dinner to celebrate my father's birthday (which is today, actually). I was going to bring my camera but decided not to. I had a fun dinner last night: my parents drank margaritas and I drove home.

I do think I have a new favorite pair of jeans: diva jeans from Old Navy. I've worn them for the past three days. I'm glad I've been able to finally find a new pair of jeans that I like - I'm very picky with my jeans & have only been able to find the right style in corduroy. Here's yet another style with my new favorite pants and a beautiful shirt.

Note: high-waisted jeans make legs look long(er).

Chemistry...and Chloride Groups?

I feel lost, and I certainly wish I had had a better chemistry professor last semester. I'm guessing that my first chemistry lab homework is suppose to be simple, but I must admit I am quiet lost. I'm not pointing any fingers but: thank you ex-chemistry professor, you have ruined me! My brain coral is beautifully big today, supposing this change is size is from the change in cold climate we have been experiencing lately.

My boyfriend is sick today, probably with what his mom had just recently been sick with, whatever that was.

Today my house would have been really peaceful, except the highway in back of our house was very noisy. Some days you can't hear the cars at all, other days it's overpowering...yet somehow comforting I suppose because I'm so used to it. But today the noise was exceptionally loud & I really wanted to relax, do some studying, and listen to some comforting music but all I could hear was the speeding cars I could not see.

Note: high-wasted, snug fitting, form flattering pants are quite fashionable, especially with a tucked in shirt. If you catch my drift.

10:30PM

Got home from chemistry lab quite earlier than expected, thanks to a helpful and knowledgeable lab partner. After I settled down at my house I decided to help my dad bake his new signature Black Forest Cake. Cherry rum included! I helped make homemade whip cream, which took ten minutes of hand stirring whipping cream. My father is quite the chef and baker. He can think of any combination of food to mix and have it come out excellent. Goodnight, off to eat his amazing beans and rice.

P.S.: My father's face is not permanently distorted. He's awesome.

Expedition

Good afternoon. I involuntarily woke up late today and dove my hands right into the plate of brownies and homemade whip cream my dad made last night. Yes, that was my breakfast.

My mother woke me from the most interesting dream, still I've more odd dreams than this one. I'll begin by saying that in this dream my room was much bigger, my fish tanks were bigger, & there were more of them! I would walk away and more fish would be added to the tank and more tanks would be accumulating because there were too many fish for one tank. I was getting concerned because I knew my mother would be furious with all the fish, not to mention to electricity costs. Then I got this tank with an interesting egg in it. Curious as I am, I grabbed the shark-like egg sac (if you happen to know what shark eggs looks like) and punctured it. Well that wasn't a great idea because this beautiful blue, four legged created crawled out and grabbed on to me with its little claws and mouth. It literally clasped on to me and I couldn't budge it, even when I did get it off it was like a magnet and jumped on to me again causing a lot of pain. Finally my dad grabbed it off me and brought it to the kitchen. He chopped its four legs off and then its head. After that those six pieces turned into little copies of that same creature. Before they reached me, as they were gliding in the air after having just propelled themselves off the kitchen counter, ready to clasp onto me again, my mother woke me. The place were the creature had latched onto me still tingled as it the creature was just pulled off. Interesting, right?

Going to make some white tea in a minute, then off to the college to get some errands crossed off my agenda.

Today I'm wearing a simple white crocheted top and the light jeans I wore yesterday.

Looking at the photographs from today I feel like my attire makes me look bigger than my actual slim curvaceous size.

Indian

...exhibiting my boyfriend's messy & unfashionable floor

I saw a good friend, Adrianna, today; finally got to see her new & first SLR. I decided to wear my new Native American inspired cardigan today from Heritage 1981 with care. I'm not the biggest fan of the stitching and clothing material used at Forever 21 and Heritage 1981 since it is made quite cheap and doesn't seem to last as long as other authentic and fashionable brands. Having said that, you won't be seeing much of me wearing clothing from those stores. Although I must add that those stores do certainly carry inspiring fashions.

Don't mind these pictures from today, I had to teach my wonderful boyfriend how to take some halfway decent photographs of me and my outfit.

Note - if you're throwing on a flashy outfit, dim down on the accessories. Perhaps wear a simple ring or pair of earrings to match, but don't go overboard. You want the beauty of the outfit to stand out not the clattering of the "over-fashioned" style. Save the intricate accessories for a day when you put on a simple outfit.
