trust me I'm okay

So I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to post my pictures from the shoot last Friday. 'Cause the super cool photographer who took these shots tagged me on fb yesterday afternoon, but by the time I came home late in the evening the pictures were gone. Le gasp!


I'm glad I got to save my own copy, just in case the people responsible for editing and the whole shebang that goes with promoting the DJ Hunt finalists were to choose a picture I wasn't particularly fond of. Ha.


So here I am dressed like a "survivor", which goes with the whole Hunger Games, fight to the finish, odds in your favor theme they're going for. That day I wore my fave My Chem shirt (my lucky shirt, I guess. I'm a dude so I don't mind wearing the same thing over and over again), a tight mini skirt that I borrowed from my awesome sister (again, always, thank youuuuuu ate! You the best yo) and my red iris Kickers boots, which was a b-day gift from mom. They told us to bring make up and survivor-ish accessories, bandannas or headbands and the like. So I decided to just wear this army jacket that used to be my sister's ROTC uniform. I added Naruto pins, an Army pin I got from the Air and Space museum last year and a "What Would Stark Do?" pin that I got during BU3.


I also had to have my face painted with... well, face paint. Remember during my last post that I made a new friend last Friday? She suggested that someone should have a David Bowie thunderbolt drawn on their face. And I was thinking, Yeah, someone should. So we had matchy matchy Bowie bolts- she got red on her right, while I got blue for my left. It was really rock and roll.


The whole time I was thinking, Channel Way! Channel Way! I was trying to channel Gerard Way, my idol for almost everything. He's supposed to be this socially retarded dude of awkwardness, but no apparently not. He's a diva on stage and when he models or poses for photoshoots he looks dashing. No, wait. He looks glamorous. That's a little to Adam Lambert, but you get my point? He just knows how to rock it and his hair kind of does all the work for him. Being naturally wavy and messy in this I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-this-morning look. Or the I-didn't-take-a-bath-today look.


So here I am, trying so very hard to look awesome. But sadly, my lips looked funny, the outline of my tummy could be seen because of my shirt bunching up in all the places aaaaand my hair wasn't doing the flippy thing it usually does after I roll it in a bun. But other than that, I'm totally digging my Bowie make up and my lame-o "DOUBLE L" hand signs.


This was actually my first shot. And out of the three, this one was my favorite.
If you didn't notice, I'm doing my DOUBLE L hand sign. Yup, I am so weird :))

Here I am saying, 'Sup dudes, check out my tummy and my weird lips. Cringe

This one was... okaaaay. Liking how the army jacket looks because of the light.


Monday, tomorrow evening marks my debut as a DJ. A legit one, 'cause the one back in STC was sort of a joke (I learned from the experience. One, know what the soundboard is, two, the principal can hear the songs your playing, and three? Make sure you get clean versions of your songs aaaand always make sure the sound levels are appropriate for the right listeners. So huh. I guess, thank you STC?). So if anyone actually reads what I write, then it will mean a lot to me if you guys could just listen to the Green Light District from 7:30 to 9:00 in the evening. Catch me on Monday or Wednesday, whenever I'm supposed to be on air. My voice might sound weird? But it usually does. Wish me luck. 'Cause I'm really nervous and anxious and shiz.


And we were also told that the title of DJ was earned so I have to go by Finalist Arielle whenever I go on air. I wanted to be Finalist Lee or Finalist Smith tho. Oh well:))


Listen to the Green Light District from 7:30-9:00 PM on Green Giant FM's site: http://greengiantfm.dlsu.edu.ph/

p.s.

Started an "UMSS and UHHHSS" jar. Like a swear jar, but I have to pay a peso whenever I say "um" or "uhh" :)) So far I have P15. I suck.
