currently surfing teenvogue for good pics. they've got so many unavailable links to the pics I actually want!!

http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1883968,00.html
That. Guy. Is. Pathetic.

okay, I take it back. my new url: eleventoarmageddon.bs.com.
it's taken from one of my previous posts when I was eleven posts to abandonment (read: armageddon for this blog).
me likes it :D
okay, now I'm going to do a glammy blogskin, because I faved sher's latest vanessa hudgens one with pics from glamour magazine and now I feel like doing a glammy-polariod kind of skin. lol.
yes, I am less creative than you like to think.

OK, I've created two new blogs and I need feedback on which one to use:

1. malglamourished.blogspot.com OR
2. glamourdiet.blogspot.com

or, you can wait until I think of a nicer url, which might take some time. I know the two urls give the impression of a glamour-starved person. (which, come to think of it, I am, but face it, I've been surviving long enough without it.)

Review:
The image is nice.The color is sweet. :D
Great job.
Thanks for joining the competition
Hm, you could get the 2nd. Really.. But i don't really like the link. you increase the size of the hovered link 'too big' . Maybe increase it my one? And leave the font family the same. (:

I DIDN'T get 2nd in the quote competition because the link size was too ... wait. Too big, or too small? I don't even get it. ):

eep, skinny was a bad idea.
next up: a super fat blogskin, but my brain's bamboozled. I'm going to make pretty icons.

http://blogskins.com/info/252162 thanks, love you, xoxo.
going to put this skin here :D a bit too skinny but I loved the picture too much to stretch and pixellate it. ):

Better Off Alone- Marie Digby

I. sound. like. a. FROG.
I'm serious. I can't talk much. Don't even think about making me shout. I have to walk all around my house now to make myself heard and believe me, that's no joke. I kind of wish I lived in a one-room house now. (Or a hut. Like in -big sob- Panya. It wasn't a hut but I think if you said something on the first floor you could hear it through the beams on the second floor, right? Gosh, I so want a Panya house right now.)

My mum bought me loads of CDs and magazines from Singapore! :D Inc. 2 InStyles (lovelovelove- and I just bought 2 Teen Vogues for myself! wow.), Taylor Swift Fearless, Marie Digby Unfold and -wait for it- the Cinderella soundtrack!! AND the Phantom of the Opera movie soundtrack!! Gosh, I love her SO. also, sarah mclachlan (WHEN SHE LOVED ME. so awesome. toy story 2 soundtrack; I always cry at that song) and the little nonya, and a few movies. whee!

(apparently vogue is a disappointment cos it's so ex but is covered in ads. that's what my mum said, anyway.)

feel like designing! ok, so I read one of the InStyles... here's a list of things I'm kind of dying for now (material-wise):

1. a black blazer.
2. grey/pastel slouchy (asymmetrical preferred but not a must) cardigan/vest.
3. espadrilles!! if I could, I'd make my own, with canvas and suede detail or something.
4. denim capris.
5. embellished tank tops (ooh, I remember- there's a white one with golden beading at MBK! I have to get it when I go get stock this weekend or smth)

basically stuff that I'm designing. right now I'm working on the whole embellished-tight-top+slouchy-wideleg-trousers look. it's really cool. imagine this:

an embellished figure-hugging top in a bright, eye-catching jewel tone;

khaki-coloured wideleg trousers flowing straight down over

nude-coloured patent chunky Gladiator heels.

yes, chunky Gladiators (all those straps! the potential for variety!) are also part of what I'm obsessing about in my drawings. also: slinky, small pumps, with low fronts.

still have to burn disc 2 of PotO. and, of course, discs 2 and 3 of the ALW 60 CD, which I never got round to burning. but it's time for dinner (cos mum used the computer for aeons). have to go back to school tomorrow...

snap out of your glamazon mood, Grace!

A combo of three pics that took me aeons to make:

http://timseydell.deviantart.com/art/Train-to-Nowhere-115327093

finished all my H-W inc. 9-5!!
phew.
now going to make a blogskin. vaguely-'s been on a hiatus for far too long.

phew, it's DONEZ!
sher still needs to edit some stuff but still...
click here to view my hard work :D

recall those days, look back on all those times
think of all the things we'll never do

I just realized that even though I was so sure I got the lyrics right, I told jusmita the wrong lyrics for think of me. How embarrassing. I was like, "Jusmita!! It's 'the talk of summertime'! To me it was really obvious." And I got it wrong.
Just goes to show I should never inflate my head thinking I know all the lyrics. Pfft. [headdesk] OK. Spent too long slacking bloghopping. HOMEWORK TIME.

Better false hope than no hope at all.
Oh, really?
Cos if you don't have any hope you're hopeless for a while, but you get over it.
--
Am at home now, feeling all sickly and horrible cos my nose is all blocked up and the little dancing people have moved from my brain to my throat. Grah.

Still have to catch up on the weekend's homework. I didn't finish the ones due on Mon cos the whole of yesterday was spent (1) at church (2) at the hospital (3) in bed (4) at the dining table eating and (5) trying to do things that would enable me to 'rest, and stay away from the computer'. so I sewed a random little pouchbag for my mum (who's coming home from singapore today! :DD) and made a pair of rainbow-beaded hoops for myself :D

but then I broke my promise and spent ages on the computer at night, burning my brain cells doing business stuff with sher for our blogshop. I will never
ever
ever
ever
ever
ever
ever
work in the business circuit.
never.
they just make the brain-dancers happier. aka, they give you more headaches.

before i forget, AGAIN, http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=violation&page=1&nb_ppp_old=10&text=&nb_ppp=10&psize=l&classt=alpha (I've been looking for this font for ages) and http://nd.blog.cz/m/matulinka2412.blog.cz/obrazky/19515446.jpg.

three drafts later, here is the finished product! :D
whoa, making a blogshop is sooo complicated, now it's like, do we haaave to do it? XD
next: navigational blogskin, then stocks.

22 to abandonment D:

not going to sch tomorrow, not feeling well (if you want the full story: cough/blocknose/sorethroat/headache. there. or, in doctor's chim chim words, 'upper respiratory infection' :Z say what?). pfft. now little people are dancing the disco in my brain. they are evil people wearing studded boots or something. they must be, because my brain hurts. no, I'm not seeing -what do you call them?- illusions?- I'm just using my imagination and figurative language.

in other words, I'm not being myself cos I'm feeling so stuffy D: doesn't help that the weather's turning hotter and more humid. I'm like dying during the daytime, cos my body temperature's already like warmish (no fever but still) and the damn weather is so freaking hot D: sniff. sniff. sniff.

off to do some. some. some. ALEXIS BLEDEL (yay I remembered her name!) icons. she's so pretty in sisterhood of the travelling pants 2 even though I only watched like half an hour and then switched it off cos I didn't understand anything.

'vogue' definition:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vogue

here you go, sandra :D

1. Queen's Haven- high waist skirts, jackets, belts, etc. ORDERS FOR JACKETS ENDING TMR! NUU! I WANTED TO BUY SOME ): so prettaye.
2. Handmake My Accessories- gorgeous accessories (inc other stuff like bookmarks and bag charms), all handmade with some imported gems and stuff. a leetle expensive (mostly over 20 bucks) but totally worth it. love their rings!!

oops, more later. we're going to mbkkkkk!

"High waist skirt, come to mummy."

Haha Sher, aptly put! I so agree. And I am really jealous of you going to Platinum ): I'd like to take a nice long hike through the area around Platinum cos they have such awesome stuff there, but it's damn hot today and I've got stupid phlegm dancing in my throat. Grah.

Stuff I wanna buy:

• Twilight series.
• Shopaholic series. [ESP Shopaholic Ties The Knot cos that's the only one I haven't read yet. And I alr have Shopaholic & Baby.]
• Sundresses, cos it's so hot and sundresses are the height of summer chic. Blahdeeblah.
• Those bendable shiny ballet flats I saw at MBK. (heh! my dad just agreed to take me to MBK! it was either that or central chidlom, which I love, but face it, mbk's cheaper. and has more stuff for me budget :D savings!! savings!!)

Stuff I wouldn't mind buying:

• a straw/cork clutch. thanks to kate spade I so want straw/cork stuff right now :D
• wedges! wedges! wedges! mbk has loads. cough cough cough.
• more ten & co. stuff, because ten & co. is simply awesome and I have come to trust their quality. I mean, their skinny jeans are damn comfy kay! and coming from me (since I'm not like a supermodel or something) that's a lot.
• other. pretty. stuff... heh.

29 more posts to abandonment. Grah.

Songs I Want To Download:

• 4 Minutes.
• Hot N Cold.

and probably a whole lot more that I'm not remembering right now.

I'm srsly considering setting up a blogshop. There's so much potential here! I mean, I could get wholesale for a lot of stuff here, at Chinatown, Platinum, Chatuchak, MBK and stuff. Mostly those four. The area around Platinum is awesome. (Just hot, stuffy and crowded. But still. I found the most awesome striped cardigan there, except it was a little tight and they only had one size. !!)

Only problems:

• Delivery?? I only visit Singapore during my holidays, and even so, not all the time, and not for a very long time either.
• What do I do with extra stock?? My wardrobe is still full of 'one day I'll wear them's.
• I have. NO IDEA. How to carry out business and stuff.

I'm more the shopper than the seller (:

I could also sell earrings but I don't make them anymore now and they're terribly hard to make. Cos I'm gingery around the pliers. (THEY ARE HORRIBLY SHARP. EEP. those pointy things... *shudder*) Okay, enough said.

BTW Chingying, you might want to check this out: www.handmakemyaccessories.blogspot.com. It's just awesome. Kind of like the stuff you might want to do.

"I was branded as an idiot by everyone!"
"They called you an idiot? They knew you well."

The Power of One ♥! It's such a moving movie (although gory at parts). I can't believe Maria died! Stupid soldiers. Although they must've hit her pretty hard for her to die from a hit to the head; didn't many people hit PK in the head? He didn't die. Or maybe it's cos he's like, trained, and stuff.

THIS is my absolutely favourite blogshop of the moment! I've garnered quite a list of blogshops now :D the stuff's really gorgeous! I've got my eye on skinny jeans for around 14 bucks, a couple of necklaces for around 7-8 bucks, some pretty handmade accessories, and some really awesome belts, I forgot their price. all from various blogshops, of course. thanks sher for introducing me to the wonder of blogshops :D

oh, not forgetting those prettttyyyyyy jackets.

CHINGYING, YOU MUST UPDATE YOURS. THEN I'LL TAG ON ALL THE BLOGSHOPS AND TELL THEM TO LINK YOU. you could even make a pretty banner or smth for them! :D

ok, 20 mins' time I'm going to pay homage to the wonderful joseph teo! whee.
by the end of 2009 I will be broke.

reasons why I don't really like you:
____, you sometimes are really unreasonable. when you say hello, I always know it's for homework. when I say something and you don't get it, you get grouchy. (in fact, most of the time you're grouchy at me. what the hell have I done to you?? aka, nothing.) there's a lot more but I'll cut it off here.
____, you're pretty much the same as the person above. most of the time you're either (a) really friendly and saying hi and gossipping or (b) so damn grouchy and stealing my answers cos you can't be bothered to try on your own. (and that applies to a lot more people as well. I'm SICK AND TIRED of all you guys out there not even bothering to try to figure out the answers. gosh, you have brains, and you don't even want to use them. you have to use mine instead? I'm sorry, but I took time to get the answers so you should too. Time and effort.)
I get so damn close to slapping you guys sometimes.

okay, flame over, sorry. if you're bored enough go copy and paste and translate the above. no names mentioned so go figure.

haha loads of icons from instyle.com, from sher and I! i have GOT to make an instyle teaser now. but first lemme finish up my stock of zooey deschanel (SO pretty- but she's engaged! :O) icons and post them.

this tagger on tata's blog has a major problem. all I say is 'tata, you should read twilight' and 'rihanna shouldn't have gone back to chris brown', and this tagger demands why I butt in. and I'm like, butting into WHAT? weirdo. -.-
high school briefing today! ZOMG ZOMG journalism and creative writing! I'm so gonna sign up for them. you can get published in the international magazine! plus journalism design or whatever which is graphic designing for the magazine. or yearbook. my head's brimming with ideas!
decided not to take accelerated science. after all, they said it's recommended for those who plan to take a sciencey path in the future, like jusmita, who wants to be a doctor. but I fully intend to stick with arts and languages.
refer to my ambitionS :D
graphic designer fashion designer author journalist
I'm on tenterhooks, zhen lao shi's arriving any time now! maybe i'll start icon-picture-hunting.

I am this close to spilling all my deepest, darkest secrets (actually, only one) on this blog and there's only one thing holding back, and that's the fact that once I spill this secret on this blog, my life will pretty much be over.
'Cos everyone will know what there is to know about me.
(Well, pretty much. You get the point.)
I am so wrecked, I'm actually considering digging out my old diary. Oh wait, it's full.
Oh well.
I shall console myself by charging my iPod while exuding the virtues of Nelson Mandela.

oh my, I'm nearing abandonment of this blog more and more quickly and I haven't thought of a new url! I should do something professional, like www.grace.blogspot.com, but something that simple would 99% probably be taken up already. oh well.
just posted twenty icons on the art blog; diane kruger and rachel bilson. check it out, people, and please leave a tag... this cbox and the one on the art blog are DYING. pretty please? I need tags as much as jlee does [haha, I spammed your cbox, jlee! ask and you shall receive].
homework left that's due tomorrow.

• finish my highly unoriginal story about maria, a girl who's sad cos she needs to buy new clothes and school materials, for spanish. [bet you were wondering what happened to my creative juices until you read the last two words. I don't know enough spanish to spin a bestseller. plus, the story's 20 sentences long.]
• do a reflection on nelson mandela for humanities. eye shalt tackle zees farst.

and I need to decide what to sacrifice for lent!! it's already started but I've already broken my decision to stave off ice-cream. (I forgot it's so freaking hot!! and the ice-cream in school is niiiice... :D) I can't do MSN like I planned to cos where would I go for homework help?? maybe facebook. but I don't use it anyway.

36 posts to abandonment.

edited wishlist:

• a nice straw clutch, like kate spade.
• KATE SPADE STUFF :D cos they're so pretty. but expensive.
• comfy wedges. I have my dmks right now but after walking around a lot in them my feet have strap imprints on them.
• that ten & co. cardigan, which I'm only gonna get if someone buys for me, cos after discount it's still 763Baht. which, according to my mum, is not worth buying. (but it's sooo me! colourful and everything. fashionable :D jk.)
• published by 16, a famous author by 16 and one day. hopefully.
• worldfamous fashion designer by... by... by... thirty? or forty?
• successful graphic designer by thirty.

AHA: my future career:

Grace T wrote her first novel at fifteen. Her writing was picked up by HarperCollins when she was sixteen, and by seventeen she was a bestselling author, breaking J.K. Rowling's records. She ventured into graphic design and by thirty was [insert famous graphic design company]'s Manager. Grace then decided to bring her childhood ambition of fashion designing into her life, and by forty had joined the ranks of Chanel, Prada and other famous fashion brands.
