So the whole day today was gloomy. For someone living in a tropical country, that is saying something. Oh but I love the gloom! I love that feeling that all you want to do is creep under the covers, grab a flashlight, put music on repeat and read that book that has been silently dogging your peripheral vision for the last few weeks.
I want a day that didn't go by so quickly.
I'm slowly figuring out soundcloud, mixcloud and 8track. I love them all because of the diversity of the music that can be found. Anyway, on soundcloud I finally uploaded my first track. It's not MINE per se, it is from the Soundtrack of Pride and Prejudice (2005). So now, as you read my blog, you can have a little track for your listening pleasure :)
Ah well, moving on. I read this article today and it touched my heart strings as a coffee lover. Not that I will be getting any of her gear soon (come on now...) but I will do what she says, to basically grind fresh, and right before using, and to try to use more of the dripper, like the Vietnamese use, which incidentally, is my absolute favorite way of making coffee.
As art goes, I am simply in love with Alphonse Mucha (read up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Mucha). This blog entry reminded me just how much :) He had a lovely beard too, if I do say so myself.
Though we do not particularly celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Philippines, we do however love turkey and all the trimmings. These are some recipes that even if it isn't Thanksgiving, I think I will try my hand at :)
I love all the jewelry here! The fragile and fine look of the pieces make it all the more enticing to me.
These bookcases are crazy. I'm not sure I can keep one without having a small heart attack every time I walk by.
I don't know if I would give people bulbs of onions, but I do think this is a fantastic idea.
This just blew my mind. And made me hungry. I mean, LOOK AT IT: http://www.natalieluder.ch/shop.htm
Another thing that blew my mind, was THESE little 3D figurines. Oh my word. I want this.
Seems like an awesome thing to do, with or without kids :)
And because I am of the paranoid disposition, THIS IS AWESOME AND PERFECT for me. HAHAHA! I think I'll look to have one made locally.
Lastly, FANTASTIC PICTURES :)

So far, not a bad hump day. Hope all is well wherever you're hailing from :)
