at my core

if you were a perfume, what would your notes be? 

double trouble

the convention was super fun u guys!!! :D 

allons-y

the convention is tomorrow! i'm excited to finally get out of the house. and! uh. i finally got that super-short haircut i wanted.  

well, not exactly. my hair is straightened right now, so it looks the same length that it has been, but straightened. but when i wash my hair again n it shrinks back, it'll probs be a pixie cut. aside from the bangs... (but that's unavoidable, so i'm not upset.) i'll look a little strange for a while, and my mom isn't super happy with it, but honestly? it's so worth it. i've been wanting hair this short for almost a decade, and now it's here. i don't even care if it ends up looking bad on me, i'm just so happy. and it'll finally be cooler under this mass without needing to put it up in a brain-splitting claw clip or hair tie. idk about you guys, but whenever i put my hair up-- even as gently as possible-- it gives me a serious headache. which is sad, because they're so cute!

but anyway. my mom also said i look like the doctor! and i think that i look like i play space invaders and listen to math rock for eels. so, allons-y... to peak self-realization. still not sure what i should wear, tho. 

sotd: if i sit still maybe i'll get out of here by ttng

step out

i lost patience with postimages reviewing my header image, so i uploaded it to my neocities... can you guys see it now? do you like it? i was so proud of it, but after this weird struggle, i feel like i should just create a whole new layout instead lolz. so i'm sorting through ideas in my mind right now... something techcore again? back to the indie vibes?

anyway, you guysssss......... i have a question! a fun question, i hope. 

first bite

i did some sewing yesterday, which was nice. 

stylist: jj

eep, here's the second post as promised~ this question has been on my mind for a long time now...

if you were your fave idol's personal stylist, what outfits would you give them? 

dazzle

relaxing sunday~ i cleaned out part of the fridge, cooked some tomato sauce and pasta, worked on my layout for the swap, did some homework... ok that doesn't sound super relaxing, but i swear it was! it feels nice to get things done, even if only partway. the only unsatisfying thing going on right now is that music isn't music-ing GAH. feels like i want to listen to everything and nothing all at once. what do you guys do whenever this happens?

i don't have much else to say. hm... i'm thinking about a style rehaul, especially in regards to my hair. it's getting harder to style in a way that i'm comfortable with, so i'm thinking of cutting it down to a pixie cut. don't get me wrong, it was fun to have the 2000-2001 omar-inspired hair for the summer n i think it looks good on me, but it's a bit of a pain rn. at least if the pixie cut goes wrong somehow, i can cover it with all my hats, and it won't make me overheat walking around campus with the volume of hair i currently have. i'm not going to hold my breath that i'll even be able to anytime soon, though.

but aside from that, maybe a wardrobe rehaul is in order, too. take some things out that i'm not wearing anymore. i want to exchange those for a few more ~stylish~ pieces to it, if you catch my drift. not a whole bunch, but. enough to feel like more of an active fashionista, lolz.

sotd: when finally set free by copeland

rosetta stone

some time ago i got super into the "types of people" sort of posts on tumblr (which were then reposted to pinterest because everything is reposted there...................  i mean this both negatively and positively)

so, i wanted to try my hand at it. these are based off of some k-pop songs i've been loving recently :)

frolic

hi hi~~~ eugene here!!! nothing much is going on, so this is just a part 2 of my vita journey, ehehe~ 

crafty

follower in shadow

today was okay, nothing super interesting.

sodalite

i developed an interest in walkman mp3s today. 

time train

looking at everyone else's art midterms and they're so lovely and detailed and the panels are clearly defined and everything, and i know i'm gonna fail this so hard. 

or am i. if i explain myself well enough. i really don't think i went into the six distinct panels as hard as i could've. i think i went too abstract with the idea, overcomplicated it, did too much / got carried away, and now i'll pay the price. but it's okay. i can take a bad grade. i'll just pick myself back up again and learn from this. it's okay it's okay it's okay

the piece is finished, after working on it for most of the day and listening to duvet by bôa a million times in a row. went on a brief / shallow lain rabbit hole dive, as well as some other coding things to give myself a break. i wanna play some video games later, too. again. i have no time for them nowadays... or anything besides coding, really.

anyway. maybe after the class is over in december, i could share it here. no matter what grade i get on it, i'm really proud of it and how it turned out. i think i really pushed myself with it. and at the end of the day, i had fun, and i feel refreshed n fulfilled.

dunno what's gonna happen this week. a lot of things should be happening, especially with the music magazine. but we're currently in a chill period regarding classes. i have to continue studying for my general asam semester research project, but i think most of that will commence in october, due to filipino american history month and possible highlights of the community across the local area.

i need to get lots of sleep. goodnight.

graphite, carved

sorry for the super late post. i've been busy. 

hip & horrific

lately i've been watching a lot of fashion shows and runways with my mom. i think i mentioned it before, but, she used to study fashion. i'm always interested in what she has to say about the themes and pieces, especially how trends cycle (she studied fashion in the 80s/90s, and has literal stacks of boxes full of high fashion magazines).

anyway. speaking of fashion, let's chat about monster high. 

milky citrus

had an amazing adventure today!!! ^^ 

soda float

missed the post yesterday, i'm sorry.

figure eight

went out today, to a mall. 

in handy

went to the library today, and did some walking around. finally, an outside adventure! even though i had to wake up way early and miss a lot of sleep and ended up taking a huge nap l8r on... 

spacehey photos still aren't working! it must be a huge issue, because it's taken what... four, five days so far? sorta crazy. i feel like i should log out at this point while waiting because i'm just making myself more impatient. 

drew a whole bunch today as well, trying to settle on a style like i was before i had my whole drawing hiatus. but nothing's felt or looked right so far. oh well. i'll get there eventually.
