collected.

i'm coming out of a semi-flu-like coma, (seriously, i feel reborn, as if i've been sleeping these past two days, which i kind of was, but you get what i mean, when you're completely knocked out of your senses because of sickness and your designated medication. hmm.) and it feels so timely, march is finally over. i absolutely cannot explain how anxious i was this march. among all the things i had and still have to do, and feel "worried" about.. (this sickness totally taught me a lesson about worrying!) march just droned on by, and it felt like a year waiting for april!

 

credits to feedgeeks // check out some of the stuff on their webby, cutesies!

anyway, as i realized that today's the last day of march, and that april is happily on its way along with my recuperation, i suddenly thought of making a publication of some sort, possibly to leave behind when i go off to pursue adventure at the end of the year. it might even come in something similar to photo shown above.

gonna attempt to collect photos and ideas atelie gaaya style.

things of gathering in the sun.

 

afternoon photos waiting in the sun, i'll leave you with that. i don't feel like saying too much today. hope you guys are having a good saturday. :)

this is how it goes in fried rice town.

for those of you who are reading, and to those of you who know of my fried rice fixation... well, this is a story about that great love.

i've been craving pho citi (specifically, yes.) shrimp fried rice. often, i get poked fun of this mighty craving, however... this love story might show the upside of this serious relationship.

we were reconciled, my fried rice and i, just this past sunday... and then it began:
@mynameisanina: I finally got my friedrice fix.... http://twitpic.com/49aofu

in relation to the story, see the example of extended ridicule...
@pHiLsKi88: @mynameisanina Lmao your always craving for rice! <-- poking fun, even on twitter? tssk tssk.

@mynameisanina: @pHiLsKi88 yeah it was a mean month to withhold (<---weird spelling, but it seems right) me from my pho citi fried rice craving!

then, comes along... the creators of the glorious pho citi, shrimp fried rice:

@phociti: @mynameisanina is that the new torture diet? Sounds brutal! Hope u get ur pho citi fried rice fix soon!
@mynameisanina: @phociti no diet! just haven't had the chance to go to pho citi all february! i missed the shrimp fried rice,...had some yesterday. so good!
@phociti: @mynameisanina awww, and we've missed u! : )
@mynameisanina: @phociti how sweet, thanks! i'm glad pho citi and it's shrimp fried rice feels the same!

i feel so appreciated. thank you shrimp fried rice, thank you.

my blanket of a scarf, and pictures from a friend.

 

believe it or not, it was a cold day, but how happy i was to wear a skirt, a "resurrected" skirt at that-- ! this is what happens when you've been living out of a backpack for TWO months. oh, and everything worn here was either free or bargained! (*photo creds to a sweet little girl named gabby.)

items worn: scarf bargained downtown and then custom made (despite the fact that it's not as flattering here!), denim jacket thrifted from goodwill, velvet long sleeve hand-me-down from 4th grade, and recent hand-me-down tweed skirt (that i oh so tried to resurrect, but i was pretty happy with how it turned out!), thick winter tights (because it was a pretty chilly day!) from my mom, and wedge leather boots courtesy of my auntie.

the cold breeze was here..

sunset, sequins and a quick night out to see the lights (and i know cam's not focused!).
