Intimate

My recent haul from California, which includes my new favorite scent, new favorite lipstick, and my new favorite bra.

Tuesday mornings

One of those rare mornings where I have a few extra minutes to snap photos of myself right before heading off to work. It’s just starting to become less humid out here in Tokyo, so I opted for my shoulder-less cropped top from F21 with a pencil skirt from Zara (hopefully I’ll have a full … Continue Reading

Monochrome

Second set from the photo shoot mentioned in my previous post. This is a completely different theme and look, which I chose, from the clothes to the hair & makeup. I really wanted to wear this cropped white shirt from my work, Le Ciel Bleu, with my sarouel pants that I found for a reasonable … Continue Reading

Redhead and freckles

It’s been a while since I posted some of my modeling work. These are the first set from a photo shoot I did about a month ago with two very talented artists. Most of you probably don’t know, but I do have a sprinkle of freckles that aren’t as noticeable as the added spray of … Continue Reading

Searching for inner peace – Kamakura

Yesterday, I spent my Saturday morning observing and exploring the temples in Kamakura, Engakuji and Tokeiji to be exact. It was a bit gloomy and showering with rain in the morning, but soon became sunny by the afternoon. My first stop at Engakuji had me huffing and panting slightly at the end when I went to see … Continue Reading

Bye bye Orange County

Disneyland with my brother and cousins, family dinner at Tortilla Jo’s Downtown Disney, dinner, boba and shopping dates with my amazing friends, and a cozy family dinner with my mom and brother at Black Angus. A lot more people I wanted to see and a lot … Continue Reading

Memories

  These are just a few of the photos that were used in a video presentation at my father’s memorial service. Reminding myself that I won’t be able to see his beautiful blue eyes or his charming smile anymore is painful. I won’t even try to describe my feelings at the moment in a blog … Continue Reading

Dear Dad,

  I know I’ve been very MIA this past week, and my apologies to everyone who’s been leaving me comments on my posts. My father passed away last Friday, and I had to fly back from Tokyo to LA immediately to be with my family. Yesterday, we had the memorial service at the church my … Continue Reading

From LA to Tokyo

Last night, I had dinner with my friend who is vising Tokyo from LA. We took a few modeling and acting classes together in LA, but I think this is the first time we actually met up outside of classes or work. I hadn’t seen her in over a year, so imagine all the catching … Continue Reading

Hair care routine

 When summertime approaches, I tend to get my hair colored a shade or two lighter than my normal hair color. I got an ombre done for the first time a few months ago and I love it; however, when I got a haircut recently, my hairdresser told me how damaged my hair is because of … Continue Reading
