"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."-Walt Disney

I'm Currently feeling so insecure of my life. I still don't know which direction to take, and it seems as though if time is running out for choices. The deadline for the study abroad program for spring of '10 is Oct. 15, and for some reason I keep hesitating. I need to finally decide what I want out of myself, and possibly my future.

So Long Sweet Summer...

I did not realize that Fall is finally here until today that is. During my Business Finance class that's when it finally hit me, I'm never going to see Kailua or Lanikai beach for at least another month... I quite depressing actually I return to my glowing white self in no time. I've pretty preoccupied with my registration for school, I swear this must be the year of college bound students, all the classes I needed were gone. Every year when I registered I have a good chance in getting every class I need, but this year there weren't even bad classes left. After seeing my advisor I stumped yet again, for that I thought I wouldn't be able to graduate till another three years, but to my surprise I can graduate with my double major in SPRING OF 2011! omg. Now I'm in a panic to figure out if I want to study abroad or not. For the time being the pros and cons seem to be even, but it needs to be decided before Spring of 2010. Maybe I should flip a coin or something...hmmm...Lastly I am just going to continue to rant in this post due to the fact that I'll be paying a total of $500 for books this semester-I won't even go into detail with my tuition predicament. Which means bye bye to my new Mac Powerbook, a Pink sony digital camera, and that Pink Miu Miu Satchel that I should have bid for on ebay! These are hard times...

With that I wanted to cheer myself up with some fresh fall looks...

Japanese Fabulous Fashion Magazines

I love magazines in general, but when it comes to full fashion/street/beauty tips I turn to Japanese Fashion Magazines. Sadly I cannot read Kanji very well, so when I see something that catches my eye I have my boyfriend translate the words ^_^. I do not have a actual favorite, I venture out to all types from ViVi, JJ, Nylon, OGGI, MISS, Jelly, CanCam, 25ans, etc. All general in all these magazines are full of cute, chic, and fun styles that any girl can relate to-Lost in translation or not.

Finding Neverland...

I haven't blogged for quite some time now, and I still can't seem to be motivated enough to write as I did before. Since the semester is over I've been working full-time and became secluded in my own little world. Movies became had ultimately consumed my free time. I started with Pride and Prejudice, to Down with Love, Wall-e, Role Models, Amelie, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and concluding with Finding Neverland. I have to say Finding Never had struck me the most. I loved the story of Peter Pan before this movie, and actually watching the story behind the story was even more magical. In realizing what impact on one's persona of their very own "Neverland," is what I think everyone needs. Having a place to be the most at ease, and a place to find express your true soul is something that should be a necessity. I, myself am still trying to find it.

“Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”-Coco Chanel

I came to a conclusion that I need to stop stressing out on the little things, and rather take the opportunities that are given to me as of right now. I've been suppressing my real passion, and goals.In the meantime I've been compromising them with less applicable substitutions. This summer needs to provide a positive critical thinking period for me, and hopefully inspire me with new trends, ideas, and design. As of this moment I want to live in an apartment/condo forever, thanks to
www.apartmenttherapy.com. Through this site, it has insipired me to redo my room, and provided innovative ideas for my future London flat(hopefully).

Sleepless in Honolulu... Summer '09

Spring semester is finally over, but so far work has been consuming my life. I still don't understand how people are able to work full-time year around, it's just too difficult to bare. I am just glad that summer is here, and those random corporate stores actually have merchandise that is suitable to wear here in Hawaii. The concept of having thick winter coats sent to Hawaii seems rather pointless to me, but having bright and light clothing year around would be fantastic. Time to hit the beach, lather in sunblock, top it with a fedora, glow with shimmer, and get ready to be sunkissed.=)
