it pays to live in a Penthouse Suit.

to be the only unit in the building that has rooftop access = priceless. Well, not really priceless but whatever. I spent the morning/early afternoon on my rooftop with a good book and a glass of wine (after vowing the other day to never drink again) and attempted to tan but apparently the only thing on my body that will ever tan is my face and nothing else, so fail. But oh em gee, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison is an amazing read, I totally recommend it. Next on my summer book list is The Tesseract by Alex Garland, only because it's set in Manila and my urge to be back on the Islands will only be satisfied by reading about it.

So summer school is finally over and MY summer has officially started. Hello San Francisco! I am so ready to be a tourist again. I love this city, there's always something new to see/do. Oh San Francisco, the city that pretends to not be a city. How I adore thee.

Beach hair + kanye shades + h&m dress = SUMMAAAAA TIME! <3

& I shall end this post with summer '09 national anthem. Well, mine anyway. enjoy!

honestly, we did better last year.

Philippine Allstars 2008

Can you believe France won? FRANCE?!! I don't want to seem bias or anything but seriously? While I was watching their performance I found myself thinking "what in the world is this sh--t?!" the entire time. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself:
