#Halloween2012 is Neil Gaiman’s Death. Death has always been very close to my little heart, and being able to channel her is such a Dream dream. My fifteen-year-old self is positively giddy.

I think I am special, and that in spite of the odds and what I’ve been carefully taught, special things are therefore due me. I am talented. I work hard. And, in spite of the drugs I occasionally take, I am not particulary self-destructive… I look good and act good. I try real hard. A good girl. But of course, I am wrong.

The last GPOY of 2011 because red lipstick totally screams momma I’m a big girl now. Brace yourself, womanhood is coming.
(For reference, whether it be someone else’s or my own sometime in the future, I am sporting Laura Mercier Crème Lip Colour in Truly Red. What a rich, lovely shade. ♡)
I was supposed to go to Ad Hoc, right, and waste away in a beautiful mess, but instead, I spent my Saturday night getting in touch with my inner hipster Korean alter ego. Don’t judge me too harshly. Paminsan-minsan lang. Haha!

“And your defect is a propensity to hate every body.
