... grocery shopping, cooking, napping, boinking, licking ice cream cones, walking by the lake front, talking about how much we hate kids, being silly, my sunday.

i ran home in the rain...

Photobucket
... and it felt so good. i always think of running in the rain and summer.

i had such a long day, and i'm going to write my final paper till 4 then edit all day tomorrow. class at 6, then work till late.

but i get to sleep in on friday!!!

i'm drinking iced coffee while munching on green olives, avocado, and cucumber slices. i hope i don't get sleepy for another few hours. then i shall have a nap before i start editing.

i feel like i've fallen through a rabbit hole...

Photobucket
... happy first day of summer, i guess. it has been one of those days where everything is going terribly. ok, that's an exaggeration, but everything is annoying me 100X more than usual.

being in a relationship is about managing a complex web of your own emotions and your partner's. it's a lot of work :(

the sun is bright, the weather is beautiful, but i just feel pissed off at everything today.

Photobucket
... want want want!

... got some sun on saturday. yay. sunblock for the lover, fruit, crackers/hummus, and sangria. our bums are pale now.

i ran for the second time today. i'm out of shape, nothing new, but it still feels good.

busy week ahead, lots of going back and forth unfortunately. times like these make me want to cry because i don't live downtown.

he makes me swoon. so hard.

PhotobucketPhotobucket
... yeah yeah, i know it's sickeningly cute.

puhlease. i've been wearing fuschia from back in the day.

Photobucket
... and they're going nuts over colourblocking, now?

my door has been rattling for days and it's driving me insane.

Photobucket
... despite the bipolar weather, i decided that it's iced coffee season.

call it a lack of self control but i did a lot of shopping this weekend. went to the clothing sale, got a mustard coloured linen trousers, chambre a line skirt, tanned sandals from aldo, and a bunch of shorts from forever21.

i tried making pad thai this weekend and it turned out really well!

i watched all the x men series; it was entertaining, but all i could think about was the theme of "others" and differentiation. now i want to be a mutant.

my first summer semester is coming to an end in two weeks. and my students are starting to go back to korea... i can't believe it's that time of the year again.

edit: oh my god, i just went for a run for the first time this summer with my brother, and i am oh so sweaty.

my mom bought me a wicked navy maxi dress with a mesh/crochet top layer; i'm going to cut the lining shorter so that you can see the beautiful patterns against my legs. wooot.

raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and an apple.

Photobucket
... i am struggling with having my essays be sustained by my readings. i'm reading about the contingency of pain and how we interpret pain through bodily metaphors.

my brain feels all jumbled up, and all i have are questions.

goddamit, this whole being creative with your academic writing is so difficult. i'm just so damn good at arguing for things, that this straying from the social science structure is quite foreign, but something that I want to try.

it's as if summer came over night and it's magnificent. i tried to spend as much time as I could outside today, even if it meant squinting in the sun to do my readings and huffing and puffing because of the heat. all in all, good times.

properly shameless.

Photobucket
... it's weird how some things haven't changed at all and everything else seems to have changed.

doesn't matter. i'm happy to going at my own pace.

wait, am i?

anyways, nice sunny day. I should be doing some work right now. but obviously i am not. i feel like i've slowed things down a bit for myself, and i guess that comes with being in a committed relationship and all.

i've always been like that though; when i'm in a serious relationship, i tend to prioritize my significant other a little bit more on the list than myself. it's just how i am. if i love, i give. and happy to do so. but i think it's time for me to pick up the pace a bit now :)

the next year will be a huge transition for me in many ways and for him as well. i hope we can keep up together.

i love that man so much.

"a wise girl kisses but does not love, listens but does not believe, and leave before she is left"

before eric, i thought this quote was brilliant, but now i know i've gone against all of them but i don't care, he's worth it.

on another note, i swear to god i'm a foodie, but i may be an overly obese man disguised in a little asian woman's body.

we indulged in cheese cake, macaroons, and danishes at future's last night. and it was oh so good. only for $15, you can taste happiness while you and your lover have stupid grins on your faces.

i really want a sexy black rope like that for us. all i've seen are hot pink or red. i want sexy black.

oh yes yes.

Photobucket
... just came home with a sexy tan briefcase for $10 (brand new with straps and everything!) and a hugo boss pencil skirt for $5. is this awesome or is this awesome?

... i've chopped off my hair last Friday and i've been enjoying it! haven't had short hair since kindergarten, and it's a nice change. definitely lower maintenance than long hair and the feedback has been positive! the style wasn't what i wanted (since the stylist did NOT know how to take instructions. repeatedly.) but i'll be going back for another hair cut when my hair grows a bit.

today, i'm having somewhat of a 'weekend', since i didn't work this morning, and i just have class and 3 hours of work later.
