for a good laugh... ♥

once upon a time ago, erika had this awesome feature on her cell phone where she could morph pictures....omg, did we have the time of our lives !!! look what i found ! the pictures we spent hours laughing at ☺ aaah the good 'ol times!

officially fall....!

yes, it is officially fall...summer is over ya'll! here's a picture i took walking home today after work...around 7pm. Look how dark it gets already! just a month ago, 7 pm was still considerably bright outside ! looks like i may want to start coming into work earlier so i can leave while it's still bright outside. yikes...

hello-chan...!

lookie! jamus drew this cute little guy on the nintendo ds just for fun ♥ that's better than any of my serious drawings !

i've always found artists to be incredibly sexy... any kind of talent is sexy but artistic talents and musical talents have always been a weakness of mine ♥♥

i'm hoping one of these days jamus will show me some of his drawings..... (i think he's too shy or something) i think i'll fall in love all over again !

milan fashion week...♥

ok peeps...this is a huge deal !! amuro was personally invited by Karl Lagerfeld (german/fashion designer) to be a part of the VIP guests for Milan's Fashion Week...!!! ♥♥♥ She somehow caught his attention and that makes me smile... how epic !!
I also heard that she'll be spending a few days in Paris for a photoshoot done by Karl Lagerfeld himself...hmmm... i'm looking forward to the outcome. is it a photoshoot for her new album...? or...maybe she's gonna be on a magazine cover?! who knows, whatever the case, this is exciting news ♥

ouch....sore....my muscles...!

sunday was an awesome day !

i tagged along with the bad-ass bikers: martin, erika, sarah and drew. They all decided to join in the annual Oyster Run held in Anacortes. I guess it's more for the harley davidson-bikers but sports bikers are welcome as well. I was a back passenger on marty's bike. my only practice was from a couple days ago when we rode from bellevue to lynnwood. not enough practice apparently...because on the morning of the Oyster Run, i was gripping onto Marty for dear life !! also, i didn't sleep the night before....and i was already sore from the lynnwood ride. And now i had to endure a 2 hour ride !!! i didn't think i could make it all the way...especially after the first stop. there was unexpected fog and it was 49 degrees in the AM ! we all didn't expect it to be that cold. (glad i wasn't the only one freakin out...) initially, i was gonna hitch a ride on sarah's car after the first stop, but i thought why not go all the way? so i did ♥ i also saw other girls on the backs of their dude bikes and i started to learn different ways of hanging on. by the time we decided to head back home, i had it down! i was no longer gripping with all my might, but i was more relaxed and actually enjoyed the scenery ♫ i also forgot to mention that we celebrated the Oyster Run by eating some oysters! they were delicious. i wanted to try an oyster slider (raw...i've never tried) but we had grilled oysters. mmmm YUM.

if the gang decide to go on another bike ride like that, and if marty was willing to ride me around again, i'd go in a heartbeat♥♥

gotta say..i felt pretty cool sitting on the back of a bike ☺

::i will post pictures tomorow::

my first long distance bike ride...!

ok, this is an older picture. but yesterday, martin and erika wanted to bike to lynnwood from bellevue...so i said i'd join in ! i'll practice riding the back of a bike. o..m...g! it was so fast ! and so scary !! and my but and legs were so tight from nervousness and freaking out ! i'm super sore today.... it's actually kinda complicating sitting on the back, you have to brace yourself the whole time. the turns are fun tho! and i feel so cool when i'm on the back! and erika is a badass chick!! she gets my props !!

amuro surprsied us all last week with these new vidal sassoon commercials...!!

She is currently the spokesperson for Vidal Sassoon in Japan and
her VS commercials have started out with different themes in the past.
previously being:

60s70s80s

60's::NEW LOOK::

70's::ROCK STEADY::

80's::WHAT A FEELING::

Then there was the SHOWGIRL theme...

Showgirl::DO ME MORE::

This was when her BEST FICTION came out and they used her "DO ME MORE" song ♥

Then there was Bourgeois Gorgeous

Bourgeois Gorgeous::Dr.::

And now....

the new theme is

AMURoad

So there's 3 fashion capitals used for this commercial.

first, this is LONDON aka AMURondon

This is RUSSIA aka AMURoshia

And of course, LOS ANGELES aka AMURosangeles

How super clever !!! i'm really digging these ideas!

There are already 2 versions of commercials out right now, this one being the AMUROAD version. A new song "COPY THAT" has been revealed :) sounds promising♥♥

The other theme is GALACTICA...OOoO~!

She's in outer space !

sounds cheesy but...eye candy♥♥

here's the promo pic

the song they've revealed for this one is "MY LOVE" (oo..reminds me of JT, huh erika?)

this song sounds AMAZING!! i really can't wait to hear the rest of it♥♥♥

it's been an exciting amuro week for me.

more updates to come, i'm sure!

♥

bedazzle...♥

i am currently trying to bedazzle my cell phone....

yes, i am attempting to be japaneezy! i've already got half of my phone bedazzled! when it comes to things like this, my japanese side comes out.. tee hee!

awesome posters...♥

so when i crashed at andy's after saturday night, i couldn't help but notice the amazing posters he had all around his house... o..m....G! erika would TOTALLY love it !

here's a poster from who knows when...looks like it was from a tour soundgarden and pear jam did together... it was a huge poster too!

now talk about a huge poster...well, this was a canvas print. of course, by banksy...

i totally want one.... i asked him where he got it and unfortunately..it was purchased in London.. psh, of course... europe has all the cool stuff... AY! i want !! really, any sort of huge banksy canvas print would be so cool... i'll have to start hunting around♥

tippy tippy toe...? no, i need a lift!

psh...to be that tall...i can only dream...

sams bday @ barca...part deux♥♥

kelly got some amazin shots of sams bday outing as well♥ check 'em out !

here are the girls again

kelly and i. super colorful, i'd say !


me + birthday girl, sam♥

aww, here's kelly and andy. cute!

pearl jam + seattle = ♥

today, erika and martin went to see pearl jam perform at (i believe) the key arena ♥

i'm oober jealous O_o the last and only time i've seen them were at the gorge a few summers ago. altho i love pearl jam, i'm not familiar with their current/newer songs...and i actually only prefer their older ones... i should ask erika, but i don't know how much of their older songs they perform anymore. they're quite active and are still releasing albums at a consistant pace..but i really lost track... i'd love to attend a pearl jam concert where they solely perform their older hits...but i kinda doubt they'd do that...?

the one i really wish i'd gone to was the eddie vedder solo / into the wild concert. erika went up to canada to see that one ! i was still in california at the time so..i totally missed my opportunity..

a smaller venue would be nice too...i mean really, at the gorge, he was a tiny spec :( i want the up close experience with eddie !!
