Stuff I saw :)

I miss having jammies...  Though the Philippines isn't the best weather for this so it's ok. But I do wish I had feet pajammies sometimes. I miss those.  Those are really comfy. 


I love Elle Fanning. She's seems like a cool chick.



Pretty things as I high five the weekend. :) HAPPY FRIDAY! :)

Happy New Year! :)

Happy New Year! 

The air is thick with potential and yet my year has started with a breakdown.  Then again, I'm trying to look at the upside of things, like, it can't really truly get that much worse than fighting with yourself telling yourself how bad you are.  So here I am, in the beginning of the year, looking forward to what tomorrow can bring. I'm hoping that the Beijing trip will go to those who are deserving....we're having to give them up oh well. Beijing isn't going anywhere right? 

So moving on.  Stuff that I've been liking :) 





Here's to another 365 days :) I hope you had a great New Year as I have had...or wait, not like me! hahahaha!  Have your OWN lovely start!  :)  :)

Holiday Wishes

Trying to get into the holiday spirit one day before the actual holidays is not that bad an effort.  Still, it's an effort.  Though, at the risk of sounding selfish, couple of things that I would like for Xmas that I am pretty sure I am not going to get, are these: 





With that in mind, HAPPY HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU, CYBERWORLD :) Eat all that is put in front of you, be as thankful as you can be and make sure to remain horizontal for majority of the next 72 hours :)


HAPPY HOLIDAYS :)

A Friday in December

So the year is coming to an end and though it sure had its own dramas, it was more drama free than the last three years prior. Truth be told, I haven't had a more fun year. If I am to go through why this is, which I sort of reviewing any way in my mind, I would start with one word: CHANGE. I was single for a long time (since last year), after 4 years and by choice, spent the majority of this year as such, so I got to know a lot of new people.  Then I did one of my biggest fears of my life, which was to quit the corporate life, job and steady pay.  I am now self employed, with me trying to get gigs and clients to work with.  Thus far, I have been more than lucky, I've been downright BLESSED.


Because of all these changes, I now appreciate the little things in life such as my breakfast.  I love breakfasts anyway, but today I really loved mine.



Technically it is one of my favorite breakfasts of all time, a cheesy omelet topped with flat leaf parsley and mixed in with a dash of nutmeg and a wee bit of cayenne pepper.  Apart from that, it is DEAD EASY to make.  Throw in a few slices of toasted multi-grain bread, slather on some butter and YUM.


A close up! :) Yummy. See the melted cheese on the sides??? 


My favorite mug and civet coffee that I got from Vietnam earlier this year. YUM. Bit of condensed milk in there then away we go :)


 This is more or less my view when I wake up in the morning :)

Panthro

Then the cats take over the bed and the rest of my day.  
Looking at Panthro, who wouldn't want to be a cat, right? All fluffy and vibrating.

A friend of mine is currently in Helsinki in Finland, a place I've always wanted to go to, and at the same time I saw this today as well :) 


This is so so so my style of house, I love it.  I would probably add a little more color though, pale greens and blues maybe, and a splash of red somewhere.  I guess what they call Modern Rustic?  Much like this. Urg, Universe send me some mulahs! HAHAHAHA!

If there was another word to describe this year, it would be OPPORTUNITY.  I am being given such wonderful opportunities that I thought would not be available to me unless I had a day job.  Nowadays, I wake up late, stay up til when I like, and have had been able to get the jobs that I actually was dreaming about in the day job.  It is great! :) I can't wait til I start with it all! :) A movie (indie flick), then a new MP3 player, also there are some other things in the pipelines that aren't sure yet. 
Apart from that, I have the opportunity with changing the jaded & cynical way I have been since forever, thanks to a new person in my life. I will slowly introduce him, but I will take my time in doing so.  We just get on really well, and he's slowly turning into one of my bestest friends.

Now, I will end this by doing   
TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME TERRIBLY HAPPY THIS DECEMBER based on this blog. 

Here we go: 
1. the gloomy weather; I like grey weather;
2. I also like the cool breeze when it is sunny;
3. white cheddar popcorn with a dash of cayenne pepper;
4. hot dark chocolate, also with a dash of cayenne pepper;
5. warm feet and hands;
6. cold and crisp sheets;
7. my friend Camille's baked brie;
8. midnight snack dates to secret places;
9. being home and being able to call my own time;
10. realizing that my dreams are actually DOABLE and getting them DONE.


Talk again soon :) Til then, keep toasty!

New life

I haven't been able to write in ages here and I have been really bad about the keeping up with the blog.  I'm sorry about that, to all of the zero readers that read this blog. HAHAHA!

Anyway, new life...fabulous in my personal life, it has been a bit of a struggle in the money department but then again when hasn't it been? I think I will use this blog as my output in terms of the work / money journey. Thing is I have never been this happy in my life ever.  The not working is freaking me out a little and the cushion-y lifestyle I'm used to is surprisingly not bothering me as much as I thought it would.  The freedom of money is actually the one thing that is annoying me, not necessarily pissing me off, because I can live off little money, but just not having that income each month is stressing me out.  And that is only because of my "overhead", which is rent and bills. Argh the perils of adulthood. Ew.

Other than that, I'm good. I'm steady and I'm not really looking for anything more than what I have. It'll be nice to have a little nest egg, but other than that, I'm good.  I've never been happier.  I'm shouting it out to the Universe since it has been on my side this year, maybe it can throw me an end of the year bone....UNIVERSE!  Please a nice job? :) I would and could never ask about anything anymore, except maybe good health for all that I love, that's it :)  Thanks UNIVERSE!

There, that sounds just about right.  

And since we're now back in the blogosphere, I will not post any new pics or anything until I've gone through the blogs I've subscribed to hehehe :)  I hope you all have a great Friday night! :)

Summer summer

It's been so unbearably hot that I'm trying to find new popsicle recipes.  Mojito maybe? :) hahahaha!  Wish that the summer was more this feeling, rather than the overbearing heat that permeates the air. Turning on the electric fan is like putting a blow dryer to your face.  No help.

I shouldn't really complain.  I've just been to the beach in Coron (YAY!! Another resolution / goal done!), Palawan and it was LOVE-ER-LEEE.  I wouldn't mind living there. Beautiful. Thanks to a really generous and really crazy friend, he was my benefactor for the trip. I will forever be thankful for that trip :)  It was absolutely fun and relaxing. Just the 3 days I needed to get away.

I've just realised that I've um, realised a few of my New Year's resolutions.  OK FINE. From two years ago. But hey better late than never!!! And the effort is there! :)  HAHAHAHA!


A lot of new starts this week which I hope move as fast as I'd like them to so I don't start getting bored. I can feel it coming on the tips of my fingers. Been wallowing for a while in doing nothing that my fingers are beginning to prune. 

Found this blog again.  Love the pictures from there :)  Especially because it shows the England I see when I used to live there. And of course there is THIS.  Provides endless wryness :)


Today I shall plunge forth and take the week by the horns. Let's see what that'll bring me!

happy Monday :)
