.: nuh-uh :.

Sartorialist - Indo version? There's no way I can pull something like these.

.: facebook + me :.

I no longer use facebook to connect with people or show off the latest pictures of food that I took. Now I login to play games from Pet Society to Restaurant City or their latest one, Country Story. I rarely check others' pictures and status updates (unless they're too good not to comment on) and how I hate the little ads on the sides that kept on showing wedding rings, bridal photography, and 'Obey these rules for a Flat Tummy'. Who set up these things?? Today my eyes were caught by one of those ad and willingly clicked the link. Look what I found!

.: I heart Alice :.

(images belong Disney-not mine, don't sue me!)

I don't know why I was so drawn to the animated Alice in Wonderland when I was young. The cat scared me a bit and I cried for the baby oysters but I love everything else. I tried to read the book but it's too complicated. I was super excited when I head Tim Burton is going to make his version of Alice. From the posters I got a feeling that this will be another Tim Burton's masterpiece :)

.: I heart FroYo :.

Absolutely love them. TuttiMelon mango yogurt is #1. Sour Sally plain yogurt is #2. I accept other FroYo other than these two under two condition: 1. Must be tart-y and not sweet (I dislike the unpredictable taste of Yogen Fruz-sometimes sweet, sometimes tart) 2. Must have lychee / mandarin orange. Both will be nice.

.: numb :.

I don't know why but lately I'm feeling kinda numb and blank. Unless you talk to me on a daily basis, I will not know how to talk to you anymore. I hung out with some school friends yesterday and my speech was a little incoherent. My grammar was messy and I mispronounced several words (complete horror for me who always pretended I'm a native speaker...) My friend is the unofficial web designer/photographer/graphic designer/psychologist for this band (gotta listen to their music, they're awesome!) and she invited me to their show in this great little bar in Potrero (they installed parts of an airplane, with real airplane seats!) I went to their previous show as well and they remember me, so we talked a bit. By talking I meant I kept on saying 'good show, I like it, awesome, uh huh...' and repeat. Not cool & totally embarrassing. I guess that's why I bought this book, but I have yet to read it. I wish this numb/blank/lost phase will be gone asap because I don't like it at all.

.: penguin love drama :.

This video distracted me from reading about bombing in Indonesia...

.: love 2 :.

I heart

cupcakes. pretty, pretty, cupcakes. Like these, that my friend, the talented graphic designer/photographer/baker... *sigh of envy* made. She just started a cupcake shop in Melbourne, Australia. If you know anyone who lives in Melbourne, please spread this.
And notice the logo? How adorable is that?

.: love 1 :.

I heart....
cheap sushi.
I don't care if they're not perfectly rounded, as long as they're fresh and cheap, I'll eat them.

.: 101 things I love in this world :.

I saw this list on my friend's website and decided to copy it. (always the copycat, never the innovator) Having a gigantic list of things I love may help when I'm feeling kinda low or lonely. And it'll be more fun if I have pictures of things I love too, right? But I'm very bad with taking pictures (my project 365 long abandoned...sigh) so maybe this list will take some times to finish. And instead of 100, I'll have 101 (mmyeah... Take that, Jason!)

.: Pity da Kitty :.

I knew it. I knew something was wrong when I pour them kittens milk yesterday. Here's some explanation for my poor, sensitive heart.

.: bloggin n music mode :.

Note to self: downl... BUY this song.

.: soundtrack of my life :.

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

Lyrics
The lyric is practically self-explanatory...

.: just for laughs :.

My friend complained that my blog is full of texts and not enough pictures... so here goes:

No wonder this house is up for sale...



I don't think we need the tuesday+wednesday forecast cause we'll be dead on monday...



uhm... yeah, not my kind of tacos...

I cannot believe it!!! I can only guess 12!! Let's see how you do it!

.: farewell :.

It's not easy to accept someone you know is no longer in this world, no matter who that person is. Maybe he or she is someone close to you, Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett or someone you just met once or twice. An acquaintance of mine passed away yesterday of a heart attack at 34. He was my retreat leader back in 2005. A little wacky and very funny, he'd brightened up any room he walked into. Warm and generous, he offers his shoulders for those who are in need. My friendship with him only consist of exchanges of jokes here and there (+facebook friend who keep on sending mafia war requests), but my friends said he's a very sweet and thoughtful guy. Four years older than me, without any known disease, gone abruptly without saying goodbye. It's really hard to register that someone so young, so full of life, can be taken away anytime when God said so. Something like this always makes me question myself, what is the most important thing in life. A good friend of mine recently stated that he'd no longer sit around waiting for grad school to be over in order to have a life. He'll only be 31 once, he said, and he'll make sure every single day is worth living(thus he bought an xbox... well maybe it's his kind of life) There's a truth to that, and I think I need to shift my priority. I wish that one day if I die, I won't be wondering whether I've lived my life right. I'd like to be sure that I've lived my life exactly the way I want it to be.

.: so much for friendship :.

While I was blabbering about how happy I am to have great friends, I completely forgot that others may not be so lucky to have a friend like me, who FORGOT HER FRIENDS' BIRTHDAYS. What kind of friend is that, really? A crappy one, that is!!!! Worst was, I met you! And I didn't say anything! I don't even know today's date...... but HAPPY SUPER BELATED BIRTHDAY, YOU!!

.: i heart flea market :.

I'm officially hooked with flea markets. Always something different and random. Like these:

.: Lucky :.

I consider myself lucky. Not in gambling, but in life. Life has been kind to me. Yes, I had my lowest moment when I want to kill myself or kill others (no, I'm not suicidal. yet. so put the phone down!) But in my rare, sane phase I can see how lucky I am. I am not a social person and not trying to be one. Social events give me the heebeejeebees, whether it's a wedding or a reunion (or arisan.*shiver*) I don't have a lot of friends, but the friends I keep now are the best ones. At the moment I feel that I don't need a lot, and I don't want to bother with those who are proven to be toxic. Knowing how loony I am, I cannot believe how these people still love me. They feed me with food and ideas, support me everytime, love my randomness and smack me when I'm being completely ridiculous. I can't thank them enough. Seriously, guys. Thank you for sticking with me.

On a less serious note, my Chessie is 5 years old today! Yay! I miss this shtinky furball so much, I wish I can have him around. I'm lucky to have this guy too. He's my number one source of entertainment when I was at the lowest moment of my life. (hint, hint, future goldfish owner!)

Chez' favorite nappy spot: under the dining table

.: random pics :.

I saw these beauties at Trader Joe's a couple of days ago and couldn't resist. They're so lovely, and now they're blooming with just a tint of pink on the edges.

Oh and here's what I did with the brooch : just wedge it in between the chains of your favorite necklace.

.: 5 minute craft :.

I feel that if I keep on reading what I wrote in my proposal I'm going to alter it again, so I strayed and sneaked in craft-time. The robin-egg blue ribbon is Martha Stewart's and the lace-y suede one I got in Indo years ago. What I did was just cut all the ribbons in the same length, fold them in half and sew them together. To cover my sewing, I sew on a felt heart. I slipped a small safety pin on the back and voila, a brooch. Literally done in 5 minutes. I can use it with my white tee or slip it on my necklace (picture coming soon)
