You want to know how a nice girl from Kansas City ends up working the day shift at Cheetas' on the strip?
It sounds almost like a joke, doesn't it? A nice girl walks into a strip club...
Except it isn't a joke. In fact, there's nothing funny about it.
This is for real, and this is my life.

i miss my dog way too much.

reading takes my mind off things. puts me in a different world.
sometimes, i want to stay there.

findings.

today, i made a huge finding. i believe it's what you call "thrifting".

i went with my friends to a park where there's a big fair where you can buy clothes (old and new. new=handmade=really cool) and old objects. there weren't that many stands 'cause some people are getting back from their holidays. my aunt told me that it'd be in full motion in march. but we went to see anyway. and there was this stand, where there was this:

a Kodak Instant Camera Colorburst 300.

and i fell in love. i'm pretty sure it doesn't work, but i'll have it looked at anyway. mine looks just like this one, but it's just the tiniest bit battered from age. i believe it's 20 years old.

the colorburst was first introduced in 1978, and lasted until the '80. so it only lived for 2 years.

even if it doesn't work it's a great collector's item, and i'm already thinking of using it in my future photoshoots (when i get my camera back) as props.

and it only costed me 25 arg pesos! something like 5 dlls ;) if it does work, i'll have to find old cartridges/film. and that'll be really expensive.

i'm super happy with my finding!


i also bought a long skirt (black w/polka dots) which i used as a dress tonight to go out w/my friends, and a belt to go w/it. no pics though.

oooh, and i found a really pretty purse! vintage, real leather ;) i'll have to wait to have more money to go back to that park again, next month.

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be the snowboarding half pipe, because that would be so hardcore . (lauren's answer, but i'd say the exact same thing, so i'm not changing it, because i'm too lazy)

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take my books, my notebook, and my collection of CDs. Also maybe Peyton, but if I could keep her healthy.

3. Plugs and electricity are my most irrational fear.

4. I'd rather learn phonetics everyday, than learn English grammar everyday.

5. I am really tired, and happy of having found a cool hobbie that could give me some profits in the future.

6. I should really be sleeping (it's 3 am) .

7. One of my favorite things in all the world is my dog, Peyton. :)

swooning over...

this precious.

a nikon d3000.

i heard it'd be perfect for me, since i'm an amateur, and still have a lot to learn.
when i saw it online, and read its detailed description,

i'm in love
<3

i've already started saving up for it :D
and i'm asking everyone not to get me anything for my birthday,
but to give me some money -anything- that will go into my piggy bank.

i'm hoping to get one like this,
or similar,
or whatever my dad thinks is best for me
(i'll make him think THIS one's the best one)
by the end of this year.

on another note, i started uni today!
well, not really.
i went there, all cheerful, thinking i'd start, and it looks like i don't have to go every day
(these next two weeks are an introductory course for me)
just tuesday, thursday and friday.
i had to get up early today, only to find out that i was starting tomorrow.
i got up at 7 am.
7 freaking am, people!
that's really early for me, considering i was getting up at 10:30, 11:00, some days at noon.
but anyway, i start tomorrow. really start.
i'll blog about it later ;)

happy monday.
