A week of yays!

Yay! #1 - In the month that followed my first blue dye job, my hair faded into a pretty nasty shade of green, then into ashy blonde. I wanted to colour over it right away, but I had to wait a month. ONE WHOLE MONTH OF GROSSLY-COLOURED HAIR. Yikes. But thankfully, the godforsaken month ended last Thursday. I didn't want to repeat my mistake of having my hair done through home service, so I went to Benefits Style Salon. The result was a more vivid shade of blue! Yay!

Also, yes, I am wearing cat ears. It was for my friend Louise's 18th birthday party last Friday. :)

Yay! #2 - Seeing one of my best friends in the world, Lian, at the party! 

Yay! #3 - Pulp. Fiction. Bad. Mother. Fucker. Wallet.

Yay! #4 - Meeting tons of people and making lots of new friends in college. :)

Yay! #5 - My goal in life is to be a modern-day Medici, sans all the political intrigue. Basically, I want to support independent artists, musicians, etc. So a few months ago, I had this idea that I wanted to collect artworks from my friends who are artists. I requested art that featured a badass Chinese Dragon Lady who smokes and wears a cheongsam. Pretty odd, I know. Anyway, I received my first one yesterday! My good friend Michelle sent me her adaptation of my request and holy shmow it is A M A Z I N G. 

Vampire Week(end)

School's been keeping me busy -- more specifically, applying to orgs (Ateneo Blue Symphony, Loyola Film Circle, and Ateneo Musicians' Pool) has been keeping me busy. As part of the application to the LFC's Creative Team, we were to make posters for the org's weekly screenings of themed films. I was assigned "vampire films." I had tons of ideas, but I eventually decided to go with the cartoonish blood. 

What do you think?

The thing about blue hair is it is extremely high-maintenance. It's been less than two weeks since I had my hair dyed blue and it's already faded into an ashy, greyish green. Also, I had a lot of hair chopped off because 1) I couldn't live up to my goal of growing my hair and really missed having it short, and 2) the almost-black tips looked a lot like seaweed.

Some pretty important things have happened since I last blogged; I turned 17, I attended the Ateneo OrSem2012 (the Freshmen Orientation Seminar), and I started college last Monday! But what may be the most exciting thing to have happened to me recently (and by recent I mean yesterday evening) was the realisation of a four-year dream. And the reason I bleached my hair to kingdom come.

MY HAIR IS FINALLY BLUE!

Spain | Madrid

After a week in Barcelona, we headed for Madrid and stayed there for two weeks. When we travel, we never spend that much time in one place, so it was nice to really get to experience a city. 

Also, I tried making my edits ridiculously vivid on Photoshop since Blogger has this habit of changing the quality of my photos.

More photos after the cut.
