Moleskine and washi tape pr0n

I give, I give! I'm using moleskines, finally. I prefer their volant and cahier series. Volant for the fancy perfect binding and cahier for the paperback. I love both because they're super thin. Thin notebooks means = likelihood of completing is higher. I'm not good at completing journals or notebooks but with the size that I'm using, I think I can do it. I'm already filling them with my incessant babble!

I'm swimming with ideas lately and I finally lifted my head for air to start this:





I don't think my moleskines will be completely unique from others but I'm soo happy with these right now. So happy. I will still use my Rilakkuma notes but right now I'm all about the cahier and volant moleskines~! :)

I leave you with some washi tape porn.





And no, these have not been instagrammed..or edited for that matter! My room is just very poorly lit (hence the grainy photos) lulz.

I just realized that I should be embarrassed for taking these photos on my bed. Oh well.

Ferry Building today and everyday!!!

I am sooo fortunate to have a big sis and bro in law that will 1: wake me up early in the morning to, 2: take me to the ferry building and buy me TWO COFFEES at blue bottle ^o^~ wibble~ (you want me to do TWO things?? -bender) If there were two Margarets, I would not be so hyped up on coffee, bbq darling, bbq.


caffe latte on left, half finished new orleans on right


sweet baguette from acme ^o^~ (random passerby while Margaret was taking photo: "that's a long baguette!")

We went to Chinatown after since it was right up the street from the Ferry Building :) Parked right next to the Panaeng Garden where they served Durian Chicken soup! My grandma loveddd the Durian Chicken soup here...everyday I miss her.


Random dog we passed by while walking up Washinton. He was so fat and cute I had to snap a picture ...albeit a bit blurry.


Inconceivably inexpensive blueberries! I had some last night and they were soo yummy. We bought 4 boxes. (Sign says 2 for $1.50) I think more than 50% are too ripe now :( but it's okay, will make really good blueberry muffins ~ :)


Acme cinnamon black currant toast. Cheirie berry says that it's too sweet but it's going to be soo good with English Breakfast! I had wanted to go to KW's today for tea and toast but she's a little busy bee.

I have not been doing anything but lazing around since classes ended. I'm not even playing WoW. Way. Too. Lazy. I'm pretty happy that I got to go out for a little bit to snap a few photos. Classes are starting soon and I still have not gotten the DAI fundraising shenanigans started. Once I get some work done, I'll feel better. I think I should take my time. I already talked to one of my very trusted (and loved!) instructors so I can't lose confidence now! がんばれ, がんばれ, がんばれ!!! 無論如可, 一定要加油 ^o^~

No...no, anything but that

Last day of classes until the 24th tomorrow! The joy, the sorrow..etc.






I can't wait to sleep and play WoW ... and get the DAI fundraisin' shenanigans ready!

Hm, in other news, been listening to a lot of pop due to all the k nights :)

Uh, also, about that floppy disks: it seems that SFSU is recycling old electronics and these floppies were hanging out away from the group :( feels kind of 1990s apocalyptic.

Happy birthday :)

This is the tres leche cake from Tartine. Oh boy. I did not expect Tartine lines to be so unnecessarily long. I had a bite of their croissant as well. I have not yet had a really delicious croissant before but this is probably as good as it gets in S.F. Nice sound when you break the bread apart and kind of a crunch when you bite into it. Brian (Happy Birthday!!) says that a croissant is suppose to be flaky? How do you attain that type of perfection?

I've been waiting

For the sun to come out! The fog took over the Bay Area last week so the few hours of sun is nice. These flowers look happier in the sunlight too :) I pass by these flowers while running around and finally took some time to admire them close.



Surprisingly, this is just some foliage hanging outside of the Fine Arts and Caesar Chavez buildings.



Classes are going well. Design is fulfilling. Though I feel something missing.

Speaking of design, I'm planning on making the shelf that I mapped out last year. I'll try to sand down the wood this weekend. It won't take much of anything except brute strength, consistency and determination...Things that I typically lack on a weekend. Well, I already glued the wood together. This was harder than I thought without adequate space. I wish I had worked on a table or .. not in my dad's garage next to his Acura.

^o^

She's home from France

I'm still trying to figure out a blog style. Do I even have time to be thinking about blogging? Helvetica (it's actually arial!) +default blog with giant photos will do for now. Cheirie bugged me the very next morning to go to the Ferry Building so we could grab Blue Bottle Coffee and Acme bread for some apparently, super excellent butter she got while she was hanging out in France.


Yay, coffee!

I also got a waffle. It was good but not as good as the waffles I have off the So Good Belgium Waffle truck at school! He sometimes in Golden Gate Park. I hear that he's also at other Farmers' Markets too.


My sister was talking to some out of towners and I selfishly complained that the waffle isn't as good. I'm kind of a dolt sometimes.


Cheirie ready to attack the ridiculously delicious butter she brought home.


Honey stick samples :) don't remember the names, doh!


The ridiculously delicious butter.


You would think, it's just normal butter with seaweed but in it's actually hand made butter! I don't know if I will taste anything as luscious for a while.


Also sampled some chocolate. Om nom nom.


You licked it!!! Oops! :P


Lol, my hair. I really like this room. Book shelf above bed but it's constructed into the wall.


I like this sweater a lot. I got it at UO back when they still sold Lux. They probably still do, I dunno.

Well, it's been a long day!

I'm in summer school. I practically have classes day to night. Rather tiring but fun. I sound like a preschooler saying this but I look forward to seeing my classmates everyday.

I'm finally using Picasa now. I thought I would like it a lot but it turns out, it's not intuitive enough for me to find the full size photo in my galleries. What's up with that? It's okay though! I just need to edit part of the link to get the desire size of photo I want. Pretty neat.
