Goodbye, LJ.

time for things to come to an end;
time for a new beginning elsewhere.

Art of Life

2008-06-28T15:55:43Z

" I still remember how I concluded my book, which tried to explore the whole picture of "ART OF LIFE" when it was released nine years ago - it is not "finished" as long as Yoshiki runs through his life and keeps converting his life into songs. His emotional suffering from creativity, strong impression given to the music and his life itself - all became "ART OF LIFE". He says that his life is all dependent on his music. In this regard, the song "ART OF LIFE", which Yoshiki had to spend his four years on, must be one of the signposts that were much more symbolic than any of his previous songs.

His life is to keep seeking "eternal" expression, and he is still seeking the next "ART OF LIFE". "ART OF LIFE" is the endless journey, the journey with blood draining endlessly (from lyrics). I believe that even now, after nearly ten years from the release of "ART OF LIFE", any comments on the song should not be concluded by anything btut his lyrics. "ART OF LIFE" - it is the journey to identify who I am and it will never end. "

- Hideaki Utsumi, on X Japan's "ART OF LIFE"

YSL Rive Gauche S/S'08 Raspail Cascade-Print Tote, $1640

I'd love to get my hands on one of these, but spending a thousand dollars ($1148, after 30% discount) on a tote that's mainly canvas?

I dunno.

*note* suggestions, comments, or even recommendations for alternatives would be greatly appreciated at this point in time.

i fucking hate emotional roller-coaster rides.
just tell me it isn't true, please?

lost till you're found
swim till you drown
love till you hate
strong till you break
know that we all fall down

so now, i need to make a trip to the dental clinic
and i don't like it one bit.

i believed if time passes
everything turns into beauty
if the rain stops
tears clean the scars of memory away
everything starts weaning fresh colours
every sound begins playing a heartfelt melody
jealousy embelishes a page of the epic
desire is embraced in a dream
but my mind is still in chaos and...

almost lovers

2008-03-05T17:19:55Z

beautiful, beautiful song
thanks meryl

your fingertips across my skin
the palm trees swaying in the wind;
images
you sang me spanish lullabies
the sweetest silence in your eyes;
clever trick

i never want to see you unhappy
i thought you'd want the same for me

[chorus]
goodbye my almost lover
goodbye my hopeless dream
i'm trying not to think about you
can't you just let me be
so long my luckless romance
my back is turned on you
should've known you'd bring me heartache
almost lovers always do

we walked along a crowded street
you took my hand and danced with me;
images
and when you left you kissed my lips
you told me you would never, never forget
these images

well i'd never want to see you unhappy
i thought you'd want the same for me

[chorus]

i cannot go to the ocean
i cannot drive the streets at night
i cannot wake up in the morning
without you on my mind
so you're gone and i'm haunted
and i bet you are just fine
did i make it that easy
to walk right in and out of my life

[chorus]

so nice

mondays haven't felt this good in a long, long time.

"so many people walk around with a meaningless life. they seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. this is because they're chasing the wrong things. the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote youtself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." -- mitch albom

on a valentines' day

2008-02-14T14:49:38Z

by far the worst valentines' day in 20 years

fuck this shit.

/end

waking up at 8am is not funny.

2008-02-07T15:12:41Z

no new clothes this time round, and mum insisted that i don't wear white/black tops - if you haven't realized already, my wardrobe is pretty much just black and white... like that lor, bo bian.

woods & woods men cut and sew top, worn oversized (sleeves are supposed to be worn at 3/4 length, but my skinny arms won't allow for that)
giordano concepts slim-cut pants folded too high
united arrows canvas wingtips
ann demeulemeester leather bracelet

and badge from the guerrilla store.

i don't even like the outfit all that much, but whatthefuck. I NEED MOAR CLUTHZ.

on a lighter note though, this year's $$$ is pretty good (:

60-minute episode from 2002, documenting on Rei Kawakubo - interviews, snippets of runway shows, peeks into the dressmaking studio, etc. one thing to take note of, though - it's entirely in japanese, with exception for a few english-speaking guests being interviewed - but i'll say just watch it anyway.
