gritty young thing.

weekend.

the days are going by rather slowly again (though another Saturday is here and almost on its way out) and i'm desperately trying to make time go faster. blogging is ofcourse a great remedy. i'm two and a half weeks away from home and counting. the end of this week will be comforting; with one exam down (Finance! shoot me now!) and one more to go. it's annoying having week-long breaks in between my exams though there is actually a lot i have left to do before leaving for summer; Asia calling!

i watched the new Star Trek yesterday and totally fell in love with Chris Pine. Zachary Pinto just looked odd in a role other than Sylar on Heroes. i've never been a Star Trek fan, nor did i know what on earth was going on till towards the end of the movie but overall, i really enjoyed it. i have also been getting addicted to Family Guy lately. procrastination intertwined with a lack of things to do leads to silly obsessions and habits.

i went into town today - for general browsing and some spending of money but it didn't give me much satisfaction. i am not at all pleased with the current weather. it's been raining everyday for the past four days and Birmingham is hideous enough without gray skies and wet, grimy streets.

fashion is not something that exists in dresses only; fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening

revive me soon.

we are all in the gutter.
but some of us are looking at the stars.

alas! my assignments and presentations are all done and turned in. it's such a relief and one of those moments when you feel like you deserve to take the rest of your life off. or is it just me? i am all fashion-ed and research-ed out being so engrossed in it for the last 2 weeks. i am also currently running on just about a total of 8 hours of sleep over the last 2 days so my whole system feels like it will collapse any second (i will have you note that i am not a coffee drinker which therefore amazes me that i am still awake). mmm end of assignments results in nights of partying but my bed looks so tempting right now; not to mention my neverending cravings for Caramel Digestives.

i am so ready to be home; so close but want to be closer. we are already half-way through the month of May. as glad as i am, i really do wonder where my second year of Uni went?! it still feels like a couple months back that i started. it also feels like one large gray blur. it's really not supposed to is it?

i haven't taken any photos in a while and it's been bothering me; a lot. i have also been wanting a Polaroid camera lately - Polaroid pictures keep popping up on peoples' blogs and they're stunning.

hours move to minutes.

this past week has been a complete blur. amid the rush of researching, planning and executing the campaign for my Advertising class; a lot of late nights followed by continuous sleeping in and the week just vanished. hence, the lack of blogging. however i did create a new header for the blog yesterday after being slightly irritated by endlessly working on Storyboard sketches. i like. i want this Wed to come and go already! which would leave just two exams and three weeks till home. so all in all, blurry weeks are a good thing?

when all that we need is just a reaction
it's too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore
if chasing our dreams is just a distraction
i want to remember when i know that i can't go back

it's such a lazy Saturday. i wish i could sleep forever.

Happy Weekend Everyone

continuing my endless research on the latest fashion campaigns and editorials for inspiration; i really love these by Sisley. a little risque but definitely attention grabbing!

remember to breathe.

blogging at 1 am? i must be procrastinating again...or taking full advantage of my insomnia. i think both. it's one of those times when it's late at night and you're tired but you don't want to go to sleep. you just want to do....something!? creative? reflective? productive? maybe it's my OCD again. but things are finally starting to slow down and my assignment stress is now under control. i cannot wait till next Wednesday after which things will be even more at ease. assignments+presentations will be done with just three weeks and two exams till summer. nice to see that i'm not obsessing!

words of wisdom

i came across this on a friend's Facebook and thought it was brilliant! Karl Lagerfeld is a genius.

speaking of fashion, i have been over-consumed by it lately. especially since i'm working with Versace for my Advertising class and having to launch a whole new campaign, i've been spending hours and hours staring blindly (and a little excitedly) at models, editorials and campaigns for inspiration. it's so easy to get sucked in, pretty clothes and supermodels - what a reality.

i need a reality check.
