early to do my errands, etc.
i dont like to pack..go to the airport..ride airplanes.
takes too much time, effort, & uncomfortable-ness

Im leaving back home on a 6:30 pm flight.

3. maybe come back to ny to do #2 and do
some sewing.intern?and othersecretstuff.

Black swan.



Natalie Portman in Black Swan.
By Rodarte.

I want to watch but seems a bit..
scary!

Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry now: A.E Housman

my philo teacher brought this up today!
thought id share.




Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

LML!!!

past days and weeks have been crazy.
i wish i had atleast one day to do
whatever i pleased without any hw
or studying to do, or events going on.
but i start to realize how soon
winter break will hit and i will have
the time of my life!
im officially no longer in the teens but
on into the twenties. i never thought
much of it except that its a bit of an awk
age as your yet not legal but still not a
teen but my friend told me how in the
decade of the twenties so many things
will happen.. college graduation. job
hunt. marriage..etc! kind of exciting
but officially feel old.
London this sat! cannot wait but need
to organize my trip!ahhhhhhhhhh
&i finally got a camera thanks to all
my friends and family for my birthday
and can finally be able to take my
pictures without having to take my sisters
or use my ghetto one!

lallaaaladay.

In one of my classes at FIT we had a field trip called "Day in the industry" where each student whose eligible gets to go into diff categories of the business such as buying, product development, or ecommerce and follow a head person. I chose product development as my #1 choice because I wanted to learn more about it since I hardly have any experience in it. Instead I got buying at Century 21 which was the last thing I wanted because I felt I had experience within the field and wanted to try something new. To my surprise, it was actually a great experience and learned sooo many things. Im truly grateful. I got assigned with the buyer for children's shoes. Personally, not my favorite but realized otherwise. My buyer and her assistant were very kind, helpful, knowledgeable.

Things I Learned:

1. Inventory turnover rate= extremely HIGH!
2. Seems more intense than reg. priced buying.
3. Desire and value to grow relationships with vendors.
4. Majority of people there are from FIT!!!
5. From interning-> job.
6. Last semester internship should be at a place you really want to work.
7. Care about their labels and dont flaunt it.
9. Every time you get a business card, write on the back of it an interesting fact about the person or just a fact for future reference.
10. Intern at as many places as you can. Staying at one place for a long time= no good.
11. Private, family company. Not as corporate. Founder still approves po's. Close knit. No refunds.

Overall, it made me think about what I really want to do. I personally never took into consideration working for an off-price retailer or low end. You earn the most money on the lower end and the least on the high end. As people say once you go to the low end, you cant go up to high end but vice versa works. From my internship now, I realized that I never want to work at a place where I don't like their merchandise or go low end. I think if I were to start off, Id start off high.

$ isnt everything..and it shouldn't be your motivation!

LIFE.

1. pilates isnt as intense as i hoped :(
2. still excited for thanksgiving..
3. i dont want to grow old.

OOoolaalaa.WHYWHYWHY

Designers are continually linking deals with Ebay to produce exclusive collections.......WHY?....MONEY?

Norma Kamail was the first major designer to collaborate with the online marketplace but now Narcisco Rodriguez created an exclusive Spring 2010 diffusion line for Ebay and Derek Lam is unveiling a ready-to-wear collection of original designs at a presentation during NYFW in Feb. 2011 and invite shoppers to vote their favs on Ebay. Its then able to get purchased in S/S'11 at fixed price points........on Ebay.....

its seems like a brands degradation to me but......we'll see.

Praise the Lord.

i am obviously horrible in regards to updating.
finding myself busy with school and intern. sigh.
came back from retreat this past weekend and
learned a great deal that was refreshing, awakening,
convicting.

here are some things learned.
went through the book of Jonah.
(who knew the book of Jonah would be the way it is!)

FOILS of Jonah

-Sailors
Jonah 1, 16" At this the men greatly feared the
LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the
LORD and made vows to him."

-Fish
Jonah 3,10" And the LORD commanded the fish,
and it vomited Jonah onto dry land."

-Ninevites
Jonah 3, 5 "The Ninevites believed God. They
declared a fast, and all of them, from the
greatest to the least, put on sackcloth."

Jonah 4, ends in a cliffhanger and Jonah
becomes the foil for us. He was too committed
to his possessions and not to God. And the
question of whether we will be like him or
like the sailor/fish/Ninevites arises.

Walk
Initiate
Listen
Live

Gods
Righteousness
At
Christs
Expense

waiting isnt walking....need to take action

because whenever i would go shopping for one
i couldnt get myself to buy them cause they were
so ugly..but when i went back to la i got one
from my mom because she has several she never
wore..and yes it is ugly..nontheless free.
but never again for a while will i ever
