once...

watching last night's episode of american idol- songs from films, Chris sang a song that made me feel instant emotion... i couldn't put my finger on the name of film I'd heard it from.. i'm SO glad i looked it up... the song was "falling slowly" from the film "ONCE"...   an awesome indie flick about real people and music.. if you haven't seen it i highly recommend it.. especially if you're sick of big name hollywood films.. it even won best original song last year at the oscars.. i only just found that out too.. love the song- check it out here... 

there's also a live version here.. 

i'm so going to get the soundtrack now.. the song makes me melt.. 

awesomeness..

supa cool.. 

hehe.. luv it.

summer music in japan...!

getting super excited about going to summer sonic in Osaka Japan for the first time.. I've been to fuji rock festival 3 times in a row.. but feel like i'm too lazy to camp or hike around a mountain for music now.. don't get me wrong- that place is magical.. the Japs are awesome for music fests- food, cleanliness, discipline, friendliness.. that's why i'm checking out summer sonic this year- first time in Osaka too! the lineup has a pretty broad variety of bands- from commercial big names to awesome indie names.will be an interesting mix of people- love how the japanese appreciate all types of music.. wish hong kong masses could be more like that.. o wells.. can't wait to see Phoenix, mogwai, aphex twin, mervury rev, flaming lips, sonic youth, and of course my good friend tfong's friend's band iglu and hartley!!....check out the lineup here

kates are cool

after posting bout kate moss- there is another kate that cannot be gone without mention- yes yes i know everyone posts bout her and she is everywhere, but there is all reason behind it- she has impeccable style- as tommy from jak and jil put it "from the hair to the jewelry...absolutely flawless!" kate lanphear...you rock.

frugal fashionsta

ok you may be overwhelmed once you find out the price tag for the PS1... fear not- I am quite the frugal fashionista and just like to share my drooled over items with y'all.... here is something much more affordable.. and very high in cool factor.. studs- check, bleached- check, skin tight- check.. how much more on trend can these get? when is topshop coming to HK????

buy these here..

work it out.. TOTH

just got back from working out- and only started to really get into it lately- realized if you don't have a tv or something to watch- music choice makes ALL the difference. Was so happy to find Turntables on the Hudson (vol. 4) in my ipod from eons ago.. (thx dj flojo!) and it was perfect- i'm not one to love house music and all the repetitive trancey dance stuff- but when it's done like turn tables on the hudson.. it hits the spot. i ended up running for 15 more mins due to the energy it gave me! check it out... 

been lusting.. still lusting.. PS1

not the playstation -__- like i'm really someone who is into that.. it's Proenza Schouler's PS1 bag.. super sleek, super simple, super frickin beautiiful.. esp in grey! It finally hit the stores over here in HK- spotted it at Lane Crawford over the weekend- not like I can afford it though... anyone feel like buying me one? hehe... o wait maybe tfong can just give me hers =P

Greetings!

Welcome to my first post on my first blog... on this wet and gloomy day.. what better to do than to finally get my ass in gear and start this blog I'd been going on about for months now??? I hope you will find some entertainment, joy or anything positive in reading my posts on fashion and food, lustings and droolings, music and goosebumps... and everything else that brings me joy in life...
