Nike Human Race. The Before and After proof that i should never run again.
10.24.09
Dear Diary,
Hello. Tonight/Today (it’s 12AM) was the Nike Human Race (fantastic organization btw and easy easy parking) and the first time I’ve ran in probably 3-6 months. I’ve been lying to myself. Yoga is not exercise. Well, at least not sporadic yoga anyways.
And anyways. how fucking far is 10K? It’s 6 freakin miles. I bet my mom can run 6 miles.
Famous last words.

Oh. Happy bunny. How naive. Little do I know the pain that awaits. And yes I know I’m wearing six different colors. Don’t judge. I don’t have a plethora of running shoes.

I love our socks!

Awww. Hi Helen and Jenny! Yes. I WILLL do the 10K instead of the 5.

God damn. Look at this crowd. They said 8000 people signed up?
12AM and off we go through the streets of USC.
(……this is easy.)
(……whoa Jenni runs fast)
(……oh no. can’t breath…)
“5Kers… TURN LEFT HERE. ONCE AGAIN 5Kers”
Yes. Sue me. I bitched out. I saw the left turn and took it. I know what you’re thinking. 5K is like 3.3 miles. Well, it was a long 3.3 miles. If it wasn’t for the little kids and grandmas still running strong, I would have quit and took a detour into a frat house.

Proof of finish. USC X Nike Collabo Dog Tag
Am I excited about doing another race? Sure. Even though it makes me disoriented and chinky eyed after.

A vacation day well spent. John Legend @ the Greek.


Sound Check Session ^

Guest #1 Vaughn Anthony - No. I didn’t know JL had a brother.

Guest #2 India.Arie



Yes. Pit seats are uber close.
This was my first time going to a John Legend concert and the first time I’ve been to the Greek. It is such an intimate venue and we were so close we could have got sweated on. The sound was amazing, the weather was perfect. With all the trees, you actually feel like you’re in a private greek theatre in the woods watching Shakespeare or a tiger mauling contest.
John Legend put on an AMAZING show. He has such a great voice and good stage presence not to mention he was hilarious during sound check.
I can’t wait for next summer! Hopefully I can catch Jason Mraz.
Bonus pic :D

Andaz Weho + Asian poses


(my face looks oddly symmetrical)
Had a great time at Andaz on Sunset!
Make sure you check out my review of RH, the awesome hotel restaurant.
Hello Totoro. Hello Midnight. Hello.
So it’s a wee past midnight and i just landed at my mom’s house in the south bay. for some reason I cannot manage to go to sleep yet so I endulged (indulged? endulged?) in my favorite activity as of late.
Taking pictures of myself with short hair.
Which turned into Photoshop 101 as you will see later on. My bff bought me a CS4 book today that I yacked on cuz i was trying to read in the car (FML) and it’s extremely helpful if you’re still design retarded like me. Obviously as you can see below, I only know how to pixelate myself and blur myself even further. Blurring is not an effect - its my shaky camera hand :(
So. Begin. Hello Totoro.

Hello Scary Totoro. (Don’t stare at it too long. It’s starting to give me a migraine.)

Eh. OK never mind. I need beauty sleep. I will upload my wonderful wonderful pictures (of me) Monday.
xoxo.
