so close
You’re in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close with waiting
Waiting here …
Lookbook’s Tumblr; Hardly a Hero
Another one of my look made it into LookBook’s Tumblr Page. I always get this excitement when LookBook picks one of my look to be posted on their tumblr blog. I mean being in the Hot Page of …

Fuel my Passion
I think you have something really special… you have the eye, the feeling.
You’re inspiring me endlessly!! Thank u very much. The comment relates to all of
your outfits.
I know I always say this, but when you do get a comment aside …
Sssshhh… No one knows it’s fake.
I’ve used this bag several times already in my looks here, and here.
but it’s still amazes me how different the mood is in every look.
The string sandals were purchased 7yrs ago, and it still fits me ’till now. I almost …
I made my first video-blog
I still can’t get over the awkwardness of talking to the air, although I tend to always talk to myself, it’s still pretty weird doing it. How do Youtube stars do it so natural.. I guess i have some …
a lil off
I was a little hesitant of the pocketsquare but I went with it anyways. I love the color scheme, it looks very artistically-eco friendly. Everyone seem to be a little puzzled with me using this shoe bag, but …
When you sit.
Recently i had a Nurovirus aka Stomach Flu. The virus, which basically gives you Vomiting, Diarrhea, and cramps are only suppose to last up to 72hours, but it took me a full week to recover — I blame it …
Escape from reality.
Fashion is my escape from reality, not because I don’t like reality, but because I like fantasy. How else can you become a sailor today, and a band leader the next day. People can look and judge you, they can …
Want colors?
I’ve been very inspired by the sunshine lately… and the sunny weather makes me wanna go full on colors.
This has got to be the most versatile piece of accessory you could ever own. I wear it casually, dressy… i …
Meet the Ballerina

Chapters <3
I used to always think that CHAPTERS is for big geeks, I believe you call them bookworm, who loves to read and read all the time — about smart things, but then I realized, they don’t just have boring books …
Spring Fever.
I put this look together few weeks back and I just never had much time to blog about it. I thought the colors are amazing; the gradient scarf, the bright pink top, and skinny maroon belt, paired up with a …
not-so-chic
in pajamas, long tshirt, a hoodie and socks with sandals, there i was, a walking fashion faux paux… strutting my way to the emergency room, everyone looked.. and grinned, or maybe even laughed, but I didn’t care. who else do …
Drop-croch sweatpants.
I got these drop-crotched-kids’ sweatpants today for $19.90 — I’ve been waiting for these for a while now, I knew they’d have it for kids as well.
Kids these day ei, very spoiled and fashionable, where I grew up wearing …
Chanel Fall/Winter 2010/11
I LOVE everything about this video ad. I thought it’s a very fresh approach for Chanel. Just when I thought they can no longer outdo their line… here they are, coming up with something magical, something that’s truly inspiring.
Fashion Rebel
Who says black can’t be for Spring.
I know this is a lil stretch for a *Spring Outfit* but it’s a good change, instead of the usual colors for spring… I’m breaking the rule and this is for all the fashion …
If you have to cry, go outside
I bought this book today and I was very tempted to read it, unfortunately, school is still full blasts — despite the fact that it is the last day tomorrow — I still have 3 big projects/homeworks due and a …
Kalena’s
I just discovered this wonderful place around Broadway and Victoria Drive, All Italian-made leather shoes and they carry size 38, which is a size 5! and for me, that’s a blessing. I never able to find shoes my size …
Fashionably Discovered
I was spotted today by a fellow Fashion Blogger Hailey.
Being a person behind that lens (for Fashion604) and chasing people on the street to convince them for a photo is so different from being the ONE admired. It was …
Chained and Studded
My sister has this old studded belt that has a broken buckle. She hasn’t been using it for the longest time but I don’t know why she held on to it till now. Back then I hated it, …

This remind you of Alexander McQueen Mens spring/summer 2010. I think I need to find a painting job during the summer and wear my white jeans as a blank canvas, after I get the job done, I get paid …
just a filler
here’s a quick post filler.
I swear i haven’t had much time to upload and post the photos I took from the Vancouver Olympic 2010.
I am still left with loads of School work to catch up on. Added to that, …
Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010
Lanvin Paris, to me, has become one of the most memorable and inspirational fashion line at this moment. They have consistently shown that they deserve the top spot season after season.
The best thing I like about Lanvin is the …
I locked myself out.
I forgot my keys today and no one was home to open the door. My phone was dead but my camera was fully charged. I walked around Commercial drive and started taking random photos.

when love takes over
This song has been stuck in my head for a while now, very memorable for me because it was playing when I first went clubbing @ 19.
I didn’t even know Kelly Rowland did this song. It’s definitely one of …

Sick.
My first time blogging from my new
Phone after loosing my N95. I’m at the doctor’s office, waiting in line. My throat hasn’t gotten any better, in fact it is worst. I tear up when swallowing. I must admit though I …
DIY, Brodarte inspired shredded sweater.

It feels great. His name is Johan (?not too sure)
*btw, that image above is an illustration I did months back
A little casual today
It’s nice and sunny out today, I’m a little surprise that we’re getting this weather early February. I finally got to wear my sunglasses for the right reason, NOT BECAUSE I’m covering some heavy and saggy eye-bags.

I went shopping @ ValueVillage today with Devon and Anna (friends from school) and I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know such place existed. It was very exhausting though because that place was huge, I will need a day …

As much as I love my Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera, I hate it when I ask my friends to take my photo and they don’t know how to operate it. I mean, can’t blame them because it’s …

these belts were given to me by my previous manager… LOTS of them, they were old and mismatched women’s belt that were to be thrown away..
him knowing me as a creative …

We had lots of fun though after it, and then dinner. Welcome back to April.
lexposure.net is my new bff.
