banana republic: jade.
this is probably the scent i’ll be wearing for the rest of my years.

it’s light, crisp, and more woodsy/spicy than sweet.

and always very.. clean.

classy.

so jon and i drove up to visit jj at UCR who was hosting a party. somehow, we were responsible for bringing the liquor, (even though we were the youngest.) exasperation.

well, long story short, i, of all people, ended up asking two random strangers in the grocery store if they could do me a huuuuuuge favor, with the sweetest smile of course, and in a cute little black dress. they consented, i paid them outside, it was all good. jon and i even got an invite to the party that they were going to :)

funniest moment was actually a few weeks later, when jon called me up and asked,

“hey, remember that one time we drove up to riverside?
oh that’s right—no you don’t!”

<_< haha. oh man, good times.

hiking avec jenny, meg, and winston. (my idea)

they were rather upset because they didn’t think i’d ACTUALLY take them hiking, forreals, scaling an enormous mountain, haha. it was well worth it though. dry dusty terrain, ravishing wildflowers, and a quaint little lake tucked away in the valley. we lounged around on the bank and let our toes rest in the cool water, gossiping, discussing racism, fashion, chinese history, etc.

the art of chilling.
