"when plaid goes bad"

i'm usually not one to urge. but i URGE you to stop shopping at burberry or tell others who do to stop. burberry still uses REAL fur on their products. fur that comes from the animals in the video above. burberry isn't stupid they KNOW that type of treatment these animals get, but they don't care.

"Burberry may be best known for its distinctive plaid, but its use of real fur is making the design house synonymous with cruelty to animals. Burberry continues to use fur in its designs despite the fact that leading clothing retailers like J.Crew, Ann Taylor, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others have pulled fur from their stores forever."

why continue supporting a company that treats animals in such a cruel manner.



"what if you were killed for your coat?"

first day of school?

today was my last first day of high school. crazy, huh? i'm not used to the fact that i'm a senior. and i think to everyone else, i look like an underclassman. but, at least i know my way around campus and know what i'm talking about. being a senior is pretty surreal. we have senior sunrise on friday, the first of many activities. and to think, i will be done in a few months. on top of that, my birthday is in three months :]. another year older, barely any wiser, and so much closer to 21. haha. oh, and today i realized terms 3 and 4 will be the death of me. but, oh well.

hooray for rants

what if all i had to do, was say the right words. at the right time. with the right emphasis. for you to understand the mumbo jumbo inside my brain. what if, all it took was a simple burst of emotion in the form of letter combination, to make you understand me. sometimes i wonder if i say the right things, but at the wrong times. and at the right times, i'm at loss for words. but would it matter anyway? because i'm not good with words and i hate the way my voice sounds. so i may never get my point across. and you may never understand. you may never fully realize. i know there's an inkling in you, telling you what's going on. but maybe your mind is at loss for words as well when it tries to summarize the situation. and i'm sure all of this isn't making sense, but bear with me. it's funny how i always find out the wittiest thing to say after the fact. after my chance to shine is over. after you have already seen me as boring. i guess it can't be helped. because i swear the blood stops flowing the minute i talk to you. i might as well sit there, mute, as you mutter away and say funny things left and right. but, you have always been good with your words and diction. that's nothing new. maybe it's not that i'm bad with putting sentences together that make sense or have any meaning. maybe it's just that, your skills are far more superb. and therefore, you overlook my worthless attempts to share my thoughts. words. words. words. there are so many words in this world, but none can describe anything that i've been feeling. and i know i don't feel indescribable, because if your really tried, there's a word for everything. but i don't know much of everything. so here i am, stuttering. tripping over my tongue. fighting with my brain. dealing with my heart. opening the dictionary in my mind. doing anything to make you focus on me more. but it doesn't work. cause it's been almost a year, and i'm in the same spot. almost a year, and i have yet to utter the perfect phrase to make you stay. there's not much left to do now.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE:

day by day, i become dull

wow, i have been totally obsessed with big bang's new mini album. seriously, the haru haru mv makes me cry. every single time. so i've been missing for a long long time. ahh, the wedding was fun, actually. minus the fact that my feet were killing me. but i love my dresses and all the tidbits that came with it. and then coming back to ca with my cousins was fun. sf and disneyland were definite highlights and i do miss them a lot now that they went back.

so, school starts in a week. and i have gotten absolutely no work done. and, my first day of work starts tomorrow. how exciting. it's actually cool. i get along with a lot of the other temp workers, so it's fun.

goodness, my mind has been RACING lately. just everyone now and then i think of random things and get completely thrown out of wack. and did i mention i was sick? well, i got sick today. cause my entire house is sick. and i should've slept away from everyone, but NOOOOO the pathegens got to me and now i'm sick. i HATE it. my immune system is really really weak. so i'll probably be sick for like a month. so lame.

so, congrats to MICHAEL PHELPS. omg, i'm sooo glad he won 8 medals. plus, he's the only swimmer i know, so i was really cheering for him. other than that, i haven't been watching much of the olympics. i did watch gymnastics. congrats to nastia on her win for the all around, yayyy america.
