how to spend a Sunday evening in Hong Kong - get your laptop and flat hijacked by 5 guys from 4 different countries. (Thank you Lingzi for helping me out for a few moments there..) Well, at least I finally got to watch “Little Miss Sunshine,” which has been on my laptop, ignored, for maybe a year now. The movie was a laugh, although I think I need to do a little more thinking before I can really form a stronger statement about it. Here’s to more movie nights (and Crumbs yogurt, which I’m currently addicted to - thank God there’s one 2 blocks away from where I live) with Dutch, Colombian, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, and Polish people! :)

Girls Night Out : the Pre-Party “Shoot”

Hello, World!

Meet my lovely friends! (These are all backlogged photos from our epic May 6 Girls’ Night Out at Republiq :)

We had a super impromptu photo shoot in my mess of a room that night - 

Ravishing brainiac Mayen and musical prodigy Den:

I tried to shoot from this angle to take the tornado-stricken bed out of the picture, literally, but it was too dark:

so they had to sacrifice the better background for better lighting:

(clothes on the bed were Tiff’s rejects! haha)

Mathematical genius Tiff and…. me :

I wore the highest pair of heels I own. Unfortunately, they died after wearing them for the first time ever. Too many drinks spilled on the floor and people stepping on each others’ toes.

Tiff, who brought nothing but a black top that night (aside from office clothes), still ended up in her staple look despite having to borrow clothes from me (!) :

Definitely doing this again! I have more pictures from my Photo Booth, which I’ll be posting soon :)

xxx,

Saw Dragonette LIVE last night at Republiq!! Am I such a loser that it was my first time to hear this song?! Anyway, they ROCKED despite being haggard from their flight from NYC (I think). They (being the opening act) overshadowed Jay Sean, in my opinion! Haha. Although I did leave in the middle of Jay Sean’s performance because I was feeling really shitty (PMS + continuous drinks from the open bar).

Anyway, listen to this song!! It’s so fun!! :D (We saw this without Martin Solveig, though :( ).

PS. The singer-songwriter, Martina Sorbara, was wearing this exact same shirt last night. She was super fun to watch! She performs really well, plus has crazy abs! I’m gonna download Dragonette’s album this weekend :p

Friday the 13th

what I’m wearing tonight :)

thank God I still fit into this dress after a super big company dinner in which I had two whole servings of everything on the buffet table (including lechon, tacos, chicken, veggies, soda…). Win! haha.

I didn’t think I was an easy-to-please movie-watcher, but I seem to be full of raves nowadays, the latest movie being “Devil” by M. Night Shyamalan.

Given a choice between a comedy (like, say, Jack Black’s Gulliver’s Travels) and a horror movie, I’d usually pick the latter. Over the last months, however, I’ve noticed myself being more and more reluctant to watch them. I used to enjoy being scared (somewhat), but now I’m beginning to hate that uneasy feeling. Unfortunately for me, I was the one who chose the movie on our last DVD night, so Tam got to pick the movie he’s been wanting to watch: “Devil.”

The movie is framed by a Hispanic “old wives tale” about the devil being able to take human form when a suicide occurs. When this happens, the devil torments those on earth who are bound for hell before he finally “harvests” their souls and brings them to the underworld. The whole movie revolves around five people who get stuck in an elevator, and somehow pay for their sins as their evil acts are revealed slowly. 

We got a horrible copy of the DVD, so I didn’t get a lot of the dialogue, but the plot twist and especially the final words of the movie really made me appreciate the story. (or maybe my appreciation stems from the fact that I was comforted)

M. Night Shyamalan (an American Indian - I mean Indian from India), in my opinion, is a visionary. He writes/directs/produces all these unconventional mindblowing movies without a care for the critics’ reception of them. Sometimes, his movies open my mind to his visions, but sometimes, I just don’t get it. This one though, I think, was great. So watch.

I just came across this one today in search of a decent video of myself. This was during Talent Night for ESC Rennes during our JTA :p I don’t think the audience had seen anything like it before this :)) I love these girls for being so game!! <3

life of Yeni

"you, the great confidant. the robin to every batman, the satellite to every planet. you're a bright star shining behind the shadow of another. a great spectacle of magnificence dying to be discovered. a great enigma it is that no one cares to notice. that none dared to see through and beyond the lines and your flaws. a brilliant dancer waltzing away alone with little people who dared to watch.
