Now, it all turns sour. Come sweeten every afternoon.

Today's pictures were taken a bit too late in the day. I tried salvaging them in Photoshop. Boo.

Anyway!

This pink sweater gets the most compliments from the clients in the office centre. I've been told so many times that I need to wear pink more often all because of this cardi.

One ring is worn higher than the other because I can't stand it when they rub against each other.

I'm not containable -- this time, love is not sustainable.

This skirt has pockets, and I'm not afraid to use them~!

This is the second aubergine sweater I've purchased this month. When I saw this pullover at H&M on Monday, it was actually the teal one that drew me over to the rack. Of course, eggplant won me over in the end. Come to think of it, I may go back just to purchase this pullover in teal and in black.

New haircut!

This afternoon, I had an appointment to see Deirdre at Tao Blaze Salon in Los Gatos. She worked her magic on my yuck-o damaged hair.

Yay! :)

Love don't pay no bills.

Having learnt that the $1.99 wines at Lucky are not my thing, I decided to try a $3.99 wine at Trader Joe's. Two dollars may make a difference, right?

Mount Linden cabernet sauvignon.

Such a pretty label. It looked promising.

After two glasses, this is what I ended up doing:
9-27-09-b

It wasn't much better than the Fox Brook wines I had blogged about a while back.

From now on, the only time I'm buying super-cheap wine is when it is marked down to rock-bottom prices.

Right now, I'm drinking a glass of good wine. I'll post more about it on another day.

spin me faster like a kaleidoscope

Em, Brian, and I went to Old Town Los Gatos to eat at California Cafe for brunch.

It was scorching hot today.

This pose was simply done to exaggerate my waist, which is slowly coming back. And, oh yeah, to also show off my lack of torso.

I don't have a penny, but I'll show you a real good time.

I wore purple flats today just because.

How does it feel to hear your songs on the radio?

I found this black and blue top in the clearance-clearance racks at Charlotte Russe. Normally, I wouldn't wear a shiny low-cut top like this (especially to work!), but, since it was so cheap, why not.

I'm all about tiptoeing outside of my comfort zone!

I really adore this top. :)

I'll be on the lookout for a bolero or a shrug to wear with it.

I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle.

The only thing exciting about today's outfit is the poses.

Warning: close-up photos of an arachnid ahead!

I almost walked into this super-huge bugger while on my usual lunchtime promenade. It freaked me out!

And being the weirdo that I am, right after I finished my walk, I ran and got my camera to take pics of this large spider.

"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."
This is a serious what-the-heck pose.
I was straightening my hair or pushing up my glasses or something before realising, durr, the camera timer was about to go off.

Yummy!

(Those are wine stains on the label, by the way.)

My facial expression in this pic was terrible, but I liked how my legs looked. Cropping is fun.

That's barbecue sauce on my finger, by the way.

Brian, his friend, and I saw P!nk at the Shark Tank!

The Ting Tings were the opening act, and they are so awesome!

Finally seeing P!nk live is an experience that I won't forget.

~~P!nk is bad-ass!!~~

The ocean sang. The conversation dimmed.

Purple + green = nice.

I liked wearing this aubergine cocoon sweater with this green ruffled top.

This is how I looked for some of my shift because I was overheated from my lunchtime walk. It turns out this top really is kosher for work since it has a little bit of a sleeve. Even my manager's boss didn't have a problem with it.

By the way, I bought this aubergine sweater because it looked really good on Maria.

That night, Brian, his friend, and I went to the Sharks Teal & White game. This game is basically a pre-pre-season scrimmage game / fan event.
