its been a week since ive been back 

and already i want out!! 

i'm craving europe... so badly... 

all that history and architecture and food... and freedom! 

being at home has driven me insane. 

nothing ever gets done, and if it does it's only because i had to do it. 

if this is what life is like when you're a mother 

then i never want to be one. 

it's a boring existence, so thankless, so utterly unfulfilling. 

i dont know how my mother does it. 

or maybe, i'm still too young and too naive to truly appreciate it just yet. 

either i just know 

i want to do a hell of a lot of other things right now. 

i'm restless; and there's nothing i can do about it. 

childhood is calling me... 

so. spring cleaning in the elle household has resulted in the redecoration of my sleeping quarters. the framed pieces are letters i drew spelling out "love" and the pictures going across are pictures i took of people and places (that hold a dear place in my heart) that i made black and white... and the other framed picture on the night stand is an ad by moschino that i ripped out of w mag ages ago... even with all this, it still feels plain. in need of ideas. suggestions? 

Milk Tea & Kaya Toast = my heaven <3

two more days left in this lovely island country. my heart is breaking; i absolutely love it here... midnight tonight my mother flies in; i'm so excited i haven't seen her in nearly a month! then, i'm off to the States. ...back to Mexican food, fresh salads, fathers, sisters, besties... oh, and the gym (where i will be spending much of my time, working off one month's worth of accumulated deliciousness) 

Saunders Road, Singapore

yay photos! the internet has finally let me upload them. 

top down: shanghai, shanghai, beijing, seoul. 

i absolutely love it here. 

i don't know if i want to go back home just yet, to be honest. 

its nice to be able to use your full name because people finally know how to pronounce it correctly; i realized it half way through my shanghai trip when i kept introducing myself with my nickname only to realize the other person said my full name better than my nickname hahah... 

asia adventure week 4, day 2: orchard road with AJ! <3 

and still major procrastination on the paper and personal statements... yikes!

this looks so adorbs! :)

ahhh so good to be back on my little blog, finally in a country that doesnt ban access to this!! oh how i love democracy. well for this reason at least.
last three weeks have been absolutely nothing but one cultural experience after the next, its been amazing...
seoul was epic, absolutely did not expect the city to be so relatively english friendly, i thought i would have had a tougher time
beijing was dirtier and grimier, just as i expected, and the use of english was even worse there. but the palaces and historical sites were just breathtaking...
shanghai with the godparents was a week of recovery and recuperation hahah a lot of calm and relaxation :)
just arrived in singapore last night, and ive already been shown the awesomest place to hit up for bars and dancing! i love having older cousins :)
aright well photo uploading isnt happning evidently so will post some after this week i supposse... after my paper and personal statement/resume :(
