My sister is a photographer. I was bored. So in a burst of sudden adrenaline, I declared a photo shoot. If you know me, you’ll know that I’m not at all serious when I say something like that. I can’t model or pose for my life. But it was fun doing mock poses.

While my sister was preparing the camera, I rushed to the bathroom and in fifteen seconds, scribbled lipstick and eyeliner on my face. Then I tied my hair in what I now call a ‘hot-mess ponytail’ (but, really, there’s nothing hot about it haha) then placed my pink-ribboned headband across my forehead for a more ‘avant garde’ look. I know, I know. I’m stupid & should seriously get a life.

I think all of this came about because a.) I watch more America’s Next Top Model than I care to admit and b.) I re-watched Zoolander last night!

Jay Alexander was telling me to think outside the box and never ever lose my neck. So I hung from the sofa in my room and tried to point out my clavicles. I also really really tried to ‘smize’ (smile with my eyes - a Tyra Banks term, jsyk) but honestly: how the hell do you do that? My mom, who was shouting from the other side of the room, called it Tyra Banks crap. She also said I looked stupid. I agree.

But it was fun and my sister got to laugh + practice her skillz. So it’s all good! If you know how to smize, please teach me. Thank you!

PS: I’m taking those pictures to the grave with me.

Hahaha! I find this entry so amusing. In my case, it’s my sister who suddenly decides that she wants to model and she waits for me to set up my camera gear.

I miss you, lovely! <3

Does this apply to trivial stuff? Like my Amelie DVD, which I need to watch for my French class this Saturday? :(

My sister is officially 21 today, which technically shouldn’t make her my little sister anymore. Sadly, I’ll always think of her that way. She’ll just have to live with that.

We’re two of the most opposite people who happen to be related and it fascinates me sometimes. Take a look at her closet and you’ll see her clothes neatly arranged by color and style; look at mine and it’s a dumpsite. She aces Calculus, Finance, Accounting and Economics exams; I used to do best in Advertising, Film, PR, Lit and Spanish classes. She gets excited about running for student office; until now, I prefer being told what to do. She’s a street dancer; the only things I can move in my body are my hands when I doodle or my finger when I click the shutter. She has a wide range of friends from different circles; I prefer counting the number of friends I have on my fingers. She is happiest ordering a huge plate of rice and sinigang; I salivate over pasta and pizza.

Despite all this, I’m glad we share a fondness for dogs, the same warped sense of humor, a love for finding cheap clothes and our faith. I admire the talents and skills God has given her and know without a doubt that she’ll do excellently in life.

Happy birthday to my first ever best friend, the little girl who once stole my Polly Pockets! I loveth thee!

I’m so happy that Up’s in the Oscar running for Best Picture!

Saw this online:

“Pfeiffer Beach is situated beneath crumbling hills that have released, over time, billions of tiny garnet crystals. The blood-red garnets shimmer in the sand, bringing it alive with reflected sunlight. The action of the waves shapes and twists the tiny crystals into ever-changing iridescent rainbow patterns glowing pink, red, magenta and purple.”
