AAA = Attack the Block, American Horror Story, Always Sunny

i know people hate American Horror Story but i’m a sucker for anything horror related and i think it’s so brills seeing it play out in a serial format.
plus: Dylan McDermott is still hot. i used to randomly watch The Practice in high school (let that sink in a bit) and Bobby dude is still packing! Still making terrible woman choices, but still packing. plus plus: i really dig Tate’s outfits. i wanna dress like a Kurt Cobain creeper too
i’m sure i’ve made my stance known on how October is just about the best month of the entire year (Halloween! Birthday! Manila Restaurant Week!) and so far this one has been kicking some serious ass. i even magically have Celebrity Ghost Stories on every night before i go to bed on the bio channel, it’s so unreal.





oh yeah, luke treadway is so funny and so hot in Attack the Block. i can’t even…

(unrelated Jason Schwartzman channeling Marty McFly for good measure)

‘filipino french toast’ at ucc cafe: a tasty balance of custard-dipped pandesal topped with salty-sweet longganisa


tonkatsu at tsukiji

was very graciously gifted with a beautiful pair of simple white shoes at tretorn’s opening last week.

i’ve always wanted the perfect pair of canvas shoes. the kind i’d imagine sofia coppola would wear. unconsciously i think i even tried to model this after the shot of converse sneakers in marie antoinette:


well, vaguely.

rock lobster linguine



have become re-obsessed (not an actual word) with ‘dress me like a clown’ by margot & the nuclear so and so’s.
last.fm says i’ve listened to it, oh, ONLY ABOUT 90 TIMES, but somehow i’d forgotten all about it until now.
finally ombre’d my hair this morning
