.: being not truthful... :.

Part of Stefan Sagmeister's amazing new book. I was so lucky I got the chance to see some part of the books before it hits the bookstores when he gave the seminar at Adobe. As always, he's unbelievably creative. I thought this one is very clever:

.: SUSHI! :.

After 40 days of lent ( I gave up sushi coz it has to be something that you really really like, and I really really like sushi!!!), I demanded cheap sushi and my roommate willingly went with me to this creepy, hole in the wall sushi place on highway 35. For my friends who came from Bandung, 'Bakmi Naripan' is nicer than this place, seriously. The place is gloomy, the chairs are mismatched with their peeling and ripped fabric. The lady who served us sometimes popped behind one of us out of thin air, a bit creepy really. And they have bikini style chicken, whatever that is. The sushi, however, are pretty good. They use smoked salmon for sake sushi, and their sukiyaki sushi is to die for!

.: fantastic yard sale! :.


While 'researching' for my homework (title: fantastic yard sale!), I came across some random cool stuff : 1. Projectile Rainfall t-shirt 2. The Source 3. Bad Pet 4. Honesty 5 & 6 . Locket & Cameo from Anne Julie (no longer for sale *sob*)

.: orla-mania :.

I love the designs, the shapes, and the colors... but I don't have the guts to buy it, dunno why. Now I'm obsessed with it especially after miss M bought it when she was here (arrrgh!) Apparently there are many choices out there and these are the ones I like:



.: in between nyquil hungovers :.

I blame the passengers who were sitting beside me and another one behind me who were sneezing all the way to LA for my flu. Not. Most likely I was not fully recovered and caught the virus easily, so here I am, back in SF with germs all over me :D This time however I'm more prepared, I have all the flu treatments that I need + a new pack of cough drops. I was not aware the after effect of Nyquil though... 3 hrs after you woke up you'll still feel sort of dreamy and groggy; effects similar to mornings after soju-filled nights. While I'm a little reluctant to go out and play, I explored the web and found these yumsies:
I love the bag AND the chair...

three potato four is a new favorite of mine, must also check their household items!


Joom have lots of silkscreened pillows, but this one in turqoise is just too pretty.
One day if I become a succesful graphic designer who works from home,
I'll decorate my home office with pretty file folders like this from Galison.

.: owl collection :.

my dear friend gave me an extremely early birthday present, yaay! It is so so so very adorable!!! I've been wishing to get one of these, light sensitive figurines but there are so many choices out there and was confused. Now this one is just perfect. Thank you soooooooo much!!! The one on the right is actually a room spray (usually for bathroom) in a shape of a very cute cow ... or at least it looks like a cow... Isn't it adorable? I don't really like citrusy-public-bathroom room spray, and most of them are packaged in a boring spray can that I need to hide. This one I can just stick to the bathroom wall. :)

.: look at the time! :.

I have issues with time management; basically I lost track of time all the time doing random things (like blogging.......) And sometimes I got messed up in my homeworks since I tend to to favor a certain homework to another and totally abandon the other one until I realize it's due within 8 hrs. No amount of clocks and watches can help me on that ( I even placed an alarm clock in my bathroom so I know when I need to take a real quick shower as opposed to a spa-like bathing system) And I'm not much of a watch person ( I wear 2 watches alternately for the last 10 yrs or so), but lately I've been drawn to the stylish, modern watches I've seen people in my school wear:they have this one in emerald and white ... yum!


anything in rose gold looks elegant... can't afford this, so the one shown here will do :D

.: SPRING BREAK!!! WOOHOOO!!! :.

That's it, I'm outta here! just kidding. Everybody around me realized that I'm not too fond of SanFran (kill me, throw rocks at me, whatever) It's a gorgeous city, no doubt about it, but after awhile you'll get tired of it. I think a project will come (when, Yon?) about this, heck, maybe another blog, why not. However I can't wait to get out of here, thank whoever created spring break!! I may spend quality time thinking about my 60 sketches and hanging punctuations. and invest $30 on a Schaedler ruler because apparently it works magic.
And I know I've been too obsessed with Zoomies lately, but I just have to show my new additions. I can't stop looking at these guys, they're the cutest collectibles!!!!
