p.p.s. poladroid from a day when it snowed and it was sunny, and the snow looked like sparkly sugar icing...it felt like we were stuck in a giant snow globe! It was ethereal madness. (Mother took the photo).

oh, and i'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

*inhales deeply*

hmmm...so this is what the new year feels like

On new year's eve, I was super bored, played Guitar Hero World Tour all night long. No, I lie, I played it till 10 pm, then I went off to bed, woke up again at 11:45, watched the crystal ball drop on TV, and cried WOOT! HAPPY NEW YEAR! ate some strawberry shortcake, and slept.

Woke up at 4:00 am, got ready to go to the temple...dragged my self off of the little comforter I was sleeping on on the floor, brushed my teeth lazily, slipped into my best chudidar, the one that my auntie in Florida sent me, the white one, pulled on a hoodie (it was freezing, not to mention the sleeves of the chudi were sheer and practically made of tulle) and trudged through the heavy morning air to my uncle's car, and drove off to the temple.

At the temple, I kicked my fUGGs (fake UGGs...what? it was cold, and it was 4:30 am...I didn't know any better) off, and zombie-d up the stairs to the main area of the temple, where all the deities are.

And that's when it hit me...it was 2009.

WOW.

At that moment, everything in front of me changed, everything, everyone...I felt like a new person. Something spiritual was flowing through me...ha ha...makes sense that I was at the temple.

My family and I sat in front of the main deity, listening to the priests chanting the mantras and preparing for the abhishekham, the bathing of the gods.

A few minutes later, I separated from my family and went off to Shiva's shrine. He was my favorite deity, the destroyer, the god of Dance.

I watched patiently, intrigued by the beauty of the lingam, as the milk, the honey, the sugar, the yogurt, the water, everything cascaded down the smooth black marble. It was amazing.

Time to time, I diverted my eyes to the nataraja statue of Shiva.
(picture from google images, but it doesn't do him any justice)

He looked so fierce (ha ha...I sound like Tyra) with his locks flying behind him, as he stood in the famous position so perfectly...something that I, and the rest of my dance class, have been trying to do without falling down.

Ok, enough of the religious talk.
Then we went to watch a movie, and then had dinner at some restaurant called Ming.

Phew, now that that is over, let me post some pictures from yesterday, and the day before, over the break...etc

This is the dress I wore to the temple. I just thought it was wayyy too pretty not to post.






I like how it makes me look taller and skinnier.

This next photo is one that I took of the snow, on New Year's Eve, which lasted for no longer than 15 minutes.

Here are a few pics from the day trip to a temple that my family and I went to with our neighbors. It was beautiful there.









And finally, a picture of the headband I DIYed, using these instructions.

Yep, that is it...

I probably have more to say, but I have a term paper to write, and notes to scan.

toodles

:)

sneak peek...

This week has been a mix of everything, although in that mix, the main ingredients were not happy ones.
The negatives:
Chem test -- don't wanna talk about it. I did soooo bad. I need to get that A though, or else shame shall be brought upon me forever! ( I have a reputation at school).
Some friend issues -- She says I am her best friend, but she sure doesn't show it. What is her problem? She is not honest with me ever, but I poured my heart out to her...hmm.
Confusion -- big, huge part of my life for the past week.
Exhausted -- Chemistry, History, and English. 'nuff said.

The positives:
Music Fest -- It was held at our school, and was a mix between a talent show and a battle of the bands thing. It was pretty fun, although to be honest, only three of the acts were really good. But something magical happened.
The WEEKEND! WOOT! freedom, much?

I can't wait till the Holidays start...ooh it is going to be soo much fun!

I have a super post coming up for you guys, filled with inspiration, fashion, photos (my crappy photography) and maybe some of my outfits, if I feel like posting them up, and a couple of awards I received from fellow bloggers (thanks you guys)....it shall all be done before Monday (hopefully).
Here is a sneak peak:

Guess what it is! It shouldn't be too hard.

Oh, and if you still have any questions to ask, it is never too late (like Three Days Grace said...^_^).

Comments and suggestions are always welcome, as are music recommendations .

Toodles!

EDIT:
The super post will be coming later. Wasn't able to even start it this weekend...keep waiting though, it shall come (most probably) next weekend.
Sorry... :(

good morning starshine, the earth says hello!

Guess where the blog title is from...it is quite easy I think.
Sorry about the lack of posts, but I am just not getting creative enough. Nothing much to write about.
Well, we had a four day weekend, and today is the third day of it. What have I accomplished? NOTHING. I feel so stupid. My goal was to finish all my homework by today, but procrastination, laziness and lack of interest got the better of me. *sigh*
Plus, I had the most depressing dreams--correction: NIGHTMARES--and two of them sandwiched the only happy dream I had, sucking all of the joy out of me. You could say I feel pretty blah about everything right now. No, sorry, that is not correct. I feel scared, slightly that those nightmares will come true, since they weren' t ghostly, BOO nightmares, they were scary, my life is never going to be the same nightmares. It is sad really.

So here is my sad playlist. The songs are not necessarily meant to be sad, but I like listening to them when I am upset.

• It Ends Tonight -- All American Rejects
• The Kill -- 30 Seconds to Mars (how hot is Jared Leto??? DROOL)
• Going Under -- Evanescence
  
• A Lonely September -- Plain White Ts
• Helena -- MCR
• My Immortal -- Evanescence
  

But, I do feel like leaving this completely unhappy post about my life, with a rather interesting news/rumor session.

• I know I am a bit late to announce this, but in March Target will have a version of Alexander McQueen's McQ collection! EEEEK!!! Saving up money much?
• Jordin Sparks diagnosed with throat cancer???? Rumor or fact, I have no idea. I heard about it, but I can't really find information on it, so I think it is a rumor (I hope it is a rumor...poor girl, she is only like what 18, 19?), but tell me what you know.

Oh wait, I am not quite done with this post yet.

Here are some of my favorite street style looks ( I have been pending this post forever, but better late then never n'est-ce pas?)

pictures are from here, here, and here.

These are only a few of my favorites, but I can't really squish the others in, since I have a tag to finish.

Six Random Things About MOI

2. I have a sore throat right now.
3. I am really, really, REALLY sensitive. Really sensitive. The smallest things can hurt me. I guess I am emotionally fragile.

4. SPIDERS: funny stories: One time, there was a spider on our staircase, and I just barely got a concussion trying to avoid it. It was on one step, and I jumped down from like two steps above it, and that means I was jumping from five steps above the ground. What I didn't realize was that part of the ceiling would be in my way. So I jumped, my head hit the edge of the ceiling, and everything went black...Next thing I know, I am on the ground with my mom yelling at me to wake up and not die. HA HA HA...ha. Yea...and the other day. Why, I believe it was last Wednesday, I was stuck in the basement for like 10 minutes, home alone, with no communicating devices (the phones were all upstairs, and the Internet would not work) and I had a sudden fit of hysterics, I was THAT scared. The spider was huge! Blackish brown, fuzzy, and menacing. But, I managed to get out, without shaking to death, and cried and cried and cried. That was my WORST nightmare!
   
5. Bananas--I puke at the sight of them...
6. Dry, Plain, flavorless food

I tag everyone, well anyone who would like to be tagged.

Weekend Plans

Yay, it is a long weekend! Bring on the party hats, the pizza, the cake and, the music! Don't forget the disco ball!

As much as I do not support the idea that Columbus should be credited for the discovery of this country, since he was just a crazy, fat, old coot who was stupid and thought this was Asia (Seriously how can you miscalculate, and forget that the Americas are in the way? Do you not see this big lump of land right in front of you?Stupid Columbus...why did the King and Queen of Portugal -- I think -- even think about letting him sail?), I love him for one thing: we have a day off!

I have so many lovely plans for this weekend, and hopefully I will get to accomplish all of these goals.

• Work on school newspaper articles -- One of the articles that I am writing is a "Night out in the Town" thing where I have to, yes you guessed it (how did you know?), spend a night out in the town, and write reviews and write about stuff to do...so that should be fun
• PROJECTS!!!! -- Darn you Homework! Why do you do this to me? I have a Driver's Ed project to do, a Chemistry project to do (on glow sticks...how cool is that??), and English project to do (on McCarthyism...whatever that is, and it is not fair because we were supposed to get the Salem Witch Trials as our topic, but my teacher's favorite students --- I hate them! --- got to do it, just because she likes them better), some Dimensions of Prejudice, Genocide, and the Holocaust project...I don't even know what it is...and more! Urgh much?
• DIY stuff...somebody get me some t-shirts!
• And some other stuff that I cannot remember at the moment.
  

Well, that is all for now.

No, wait, it isn't. I got the most awesome stripey tights ever, pictures are to come, and some thigh highs with pom poms...very cute.

Pictures are on the way, I promise you.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rosa!!!!
