The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

I let my heart go.

Hey! So, I was away for a few days on vacation, I don’t know if I should even call it a “vacation” since that term should be defined as a period of recreation. Without going into much detail let’s just say going on “vacation” with family to visit family is like deliberately committing one’s self to an asylum with a window view of a lighthouse. Sound exciting? :) Yeah, I know.

Anyway, there is however, always something exciting to come back to on the grid. I have on one of lelutka’s latest releases and I have to literally restrain myself from gushing all over this outfit, I wish my pictures could have done it enough justice.

Iletmyheartgo

I have also been listening to paramore’s song, monster. After rewinding it a few times I began to wonder if the lyrics are referring to lady gaga? I really hope not, I love both parties and it will be hard to take sides.

Anyway, on to what I had on, enjoy,
xoxo,
Mia

Fun and Fashion, Look #3

Windlight setting :: StrawberrySinghDotComTopaz
Post synopsis :: Here

Look #3 at this point I literally threw a bunch of stuff together and took a picture. What do you think?. I like this skirt from Narwhal but, because it’s a prim skirt I find it extremely hard to; 1, adjust 2, wear it with any decent jumpy animation overrider. Prim skirts can be very pretty but, I think sometimes designers should keep in mind that some avatars tend to move around a lot. Maybe an alpha layer would have made this skirt all the more wearable? Who knows? *shrugs*. Enjoy.

I still have a soft spot for roleplay wear. And this face paint makes things so much more interesting and playful. Check out those sheep standing around me (they are created by AlchemyImmortalis Cyannis if anyone is curious.). They are all giving me quizzical looks. Yup guys, I don’t know what I’m doing either. *laughs* enjoy the look of the day everyone.

I’m falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I’ve held on to
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you”

INEVERLOVED copy

I must admit this red bustle coat by Pixeldolls is one of my favorite pieces in secondlife. I remember spotting it a while ago when there was a random sale there but, I must have gotten distracted or simply forgotten up until today when I got the news that pixeldolls will be retiring most of her old pieces so a HUGE portion of the store is marked down to 25L.

INEVERLOVED3

I literally “ran” over there and searched for about an hour ( her store is pretty HUGE) for my beloveth coat. *sighs*. Enjoy the pictures and LOTD (look of the day). I’m going off to bask in the sheer glory of my Red Bustle Coat.

I am trying to keep track of my windlight settings so I’ll make it a point to mention them in each post as much as possible.

Hello, all you bronzed summer beauties!,

Ocean avenue ( Pt. 1)

And, did I mention how much I LOVE my new carry on scathel from La Blaq and the wreath of flowers from wishbone?? I have been looking everywhere for one, even requested a look on flickr weeks ago. Luckily, I got a response from Heather Beebe with a link to wishbox’s flower wreath. And OMG! I so pwerty!!! teetheehheh.

where I used to sit and talk to you
we were both sixteen and it felt so right
