I'M A SOLDIER TO MY OWN EMPTINESS



Today's my birthday. October 24. Another year older, nothing gold can stay. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I woke up today to a gloomy sky, but I feel hopeful. It's no use fearing the future I can't refuse. Forget regret. I want to live with passion, patience, persistence. CHEERS!

On days like these, my love for New York City grows. I'm currently so obsessed with 'Creepers' shoes and high-sole shoes a la what Rihanna wore in her new "We Found Love" video and Prada Men's S/S 11 collection. Having my birthday coming, I was torn between ordering online or buy it in Little Tokyo for $200 but then I remembered there's a really shabby but super wicked customized shoes place there too, I literally took off my vintage shoes on the spot and ask them to customize and raise the flatform for only $50! They gave a pair of their old shoes to wear home so I could come back for the trade off. I found love in a hopeless place...

Lady GaGa — Marry The Night

I'M GONNA MARRY THE NIGHT
I WON'T GIVE UP ON MY LIFE
I'M A WARRIOR KING
LIVE PASSIONATELY TONIGHT...


I'M GONNA MARRY THE DARK
GONNA MAKE LOVE TO THE STARK
I'M A SOLDIER TO MY OWN EMPTINESS
I'M A WINNER.

  4. Belated happy birthday! And those shoes are AMAZING. After seeing this, I suddenly had all these thoughts coming into my head of me customizing my really old sneakers that I no longer use.
