navy blue
february 17, 2004
i had dinner with some friends on valentine's night and they graced me with this bad ass yakuza bos-su figurine. it's so cute and so something i would display proudly in my home. i would of course fear little kids going around my house and stealing it though, so it should remain in a glass case or something. the pink pin stripe suit and green shades kills me! ANIKI!
on sunday morning, i went to get a haircut and highlights again. it's been awhile so i figured it's time to stop looking so slovenly and clean up my look. besides, i needed to get this done before my trip and at least look presentable to the people i'll see. the coowner of the shop colored my hair this time as wasn't my usual stylist (the other coowner) was a little busy so she ended up giving me a lot more highlights and made me a lot more blonde than usual. she added some blonde strips to the underside of my hair behind my ears. i look like i have wings. :p and i got about 1/2 inch snipped off as well. i'm trying to grow out my hair. yeah, for the first time in about 3 years. i'm not quite sure if i'll succeed or not but to me, winter time is the easiest to grow it out. maybe down the shoulders or upper back again? maybe i shouldn't be so optimistic about it as i may just snip it all off again during some depression slump.
i spent the remainder of sunday afternoon and evening with fishpimp - who came out to go shopping with me. we haven't gone to do serious shopping in over a year now. for a day, she was my sugar mommy and bought me my early birthday present. speaking of which, i'd also like to thank the two (you know who you are) who were kind enough to remember not only my birthday but also remembered that i'll be on vacation during my birthday. :) thanks for your lovely early presents. nothing quite like girly things to pamper my spirit. :) yay!
it never fails, the day you decide to go shopping and am armed with cold hard cash - you can't find a damn thing. and of course on the day you go penniless, you find everything your heart desires. after about strolling for 3 hours, i finally found 4 sweaters that i really loved. fishpimp picked up the tab on the two green ones. they are actually two different greens but you can't tell with this damn lighting. and i bought the two black ones for myself. i also included the green belt that i mentioned two entries ago for you two see.
and of course i couldn't not shop for makeup right? afterall, the makeup fiend lives in me! i picked up the bobbi brown split pan eyeshadows in: mahogany/bone and black plum/bone shimmer wash, and also some new foundation.
^ my partylite candles in lemongrass and honeydew came today! :)
so what is it about going shopping that is so cathartic? is it looking at goods and taking your mind off of your problems? or is it that spending money and buying material things a compensation of sorts? or is it that going with a friend creates a bonding time while discussing the latest fashion trends, gossip and to have someone be frank with you about the way you look? maybe it's all of the above. all i know is that seeing friends and spending time with them this weekend really lifted my mood.
of course, when monday came, i was blue again. and by today, i'm feeling kind of navy.
