Hello there...

I'm no longer updating this blog for the time being, so hop on over to

www.dontknowjacques.blogspot.com

to read and see my journey in Paris for the next 3 1/2 months as I attend 

Make Up Forever Academy!!

LOOKS. packing for paris is a daunting task. im only staying a little over three months...but i have no idea what to prepare for. going to try to keep it simple, with only the essentials, and lots of pieces that can be worn a million ways. 

LE SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello...?

LEAVING. leaving with no specific or direct expectations, keeping it as organic as possible. "moving peacefully/naturally" as my new korean friends say.

when i think about the fact that i am actually leaving in two weeks my heart stops....i know i will miss the little things (like starbucks, target runs, awesome sales!!) & of course my friends and family.

keep me in your thoughts and visit often for updates ! :)
A bientot!

COOL

BOYS. looks like fun

STREETFSN

i'm off giving some out of towners a tour of chicago....they want to ride a boat all around the city. im sweating even thinking about it....

i have ten layers of sunscreen and foundation cause theres no way im coming back with new freckles on my face!!!

FOOLS GOLD

SUMMER NIGHTS. my brother left for nyc yesterday and i am once again the only child in the house! (woohoo?)

this picture was taking last friday at spybar where a-trak//fools gold played.

summer nyc

spent the first week of july in nyc visiting my brother!!

too lazy to post up pics all at once xP

took this pic in williamsburg (first time there!)

i really liked brooklyn and i hope to spend more time there the next time im there!

oh, and it was M's first time in nyc (besides going as a child) and it was fun rediscovering the city!

so tired thinking about all the walking we did....

learning

if there is anything i learned this week, it's that laziness = many regrets. 

my childhood friend passed away from cancer this weekend. i had no clue she was that sick....she has never been the type to let others know she is in pain or suffering. 

there are so many "what if(s)...." that i can ask myself, but i'm reminded by the beautiful life my friend created: bringing joy to others through her half mooned eye smiles, her loving husband, and beautiful daughter. she used this time on earth to create a happy life for herself and her family and her love will continue through these people

we love you, we miss you, and we're happy that you are no longer suffering. our angel.
