whoaa there's a new option in youtube that allows you to watch the videos in high quality. that's awesome.

i'm back home again, but i go back to school in less than a week. do i want to go back? yes, because i'll be away from my parents nagging and i miss all my friends. but so many people are gone this semester =(

i enjoyed the past few weeks in harvard/boston. it was a really good experience for me. the night of the olympics ceremonies, me and tara went to get shaved ice. it started thunderstorming and we ended up walking in the opposite direction of the bus stop so we took a taxi. the driver was from haiti and someone we started talking about french. he was really happy to find that i can speak it. he wanted my number so that we can talk occasionally. this way, i won't forget my french and can learn new vocabulary. im sure he had the best interests and wanted to help me, but it's weird giving my number to strangers. so once again, i gave him a fake number. oops.

i was in harvard square the other day waiting for their famous unofficial tour to start. standing next to me was this guy who kept smiling at me. i thought he was just being nice so i smiled back. then he came up to me and apologized because he thought i was someone he knew. but he didn't stop there. he continued to talk about something but i couldn't quite understand him because he had an accent. he said he was from the sloan management school in MIT. i don't know what he does there. he insisted on giving me his phone number. then he asked for mine! again, i didn't catch why. so i gave him a false number. hehehe im so sneaky :) before he left, he said that he'll definitely give me a call. i wonder if the number i gave him actually works...

so more about harvard. i learned quite a bit about this prestigious school on the tour and all i have to say is that they are ridiculous.

1. harvard is the second richest instituion in the world. the first being the roman catholic church.
2. for only $35 a semester, students can rent real artworks from the fogg museum to display in their room. imagine having a real monet or picasso hanging in your very own dorm room. insaneee. the catch of course is that you cannot have parties in your room. if you break it, you buy it. so the question is of course, would you rather show your friends a famous piece of artwork or your ability to throw one heck of a party?

i believe that every girl/woman should have a pair of black stiletto pumps. they're a staple to any closet because they are so versatile. they can be worn with any outfit. i currently have a pair of bcbgirl pumps and i love them. they are so comfortable that i can stand in them all day or dance in them all night without leaving my feet in complete pain. but i've had them for a few years now and i don't know how much longer they'll last them. i was browsing the web at work today (once again, me=bad employee) and found this pair:


christian louboutin piaf point-toe pumps $540

they are so beautiful, i want them. however, i don't know how i feel about spending $500+ on a pair of shoes. for bags, i can understand. shoes just get ruined so easily. i will have to think some more about this. until then, i'm going to rely on my bcbgirl pair and hope that they will last for a few more years.

lucy liu is in this month's harper's bazaar with an olympic themed photo shoot. im not a big fan of hers but surprisingly, she looks really good in some of these pictures. maybe its because i like the clothes. this one picture caught my eye:


it's christian lacroix haute couture! this dress was one of my favorites out of his spring/summer 08 collection. i still can't believe that i got to touch and see this dress in person.



here are my other favorites:

im supposed to write a report for work except im just sitting in front of the computer. ive been sitting here for quite some time now. my parents always tell me that i have no motivation or ambition in life. sadly im starting to believe that. why can't i force myself to start what im supposed? i always think to myself that im gonna prove my parents wrong someday. just because i don't say anything to them doesn't mean that i don't have plans for my future. but im doubting myself more and more nowadays. its quite disappointing.

on a happier note, i got my first paycheck today! it's quite a large sum =D i should treat myself to something nice. i always tell myself that once i make money, i'll be able to buy anything i want, without the interference of my parents. but once i actually earn the money and put it into my bank account, i don't want to spend it anymore. haha oh dear.
