I have decided I love Alberta Ferretti.

Camel and sage.  That is a combo I am LOVING right now.

Thoughtful Thursday

You know what I realised?  More often than not, my blogs are always on a Thursday. 

Curious, that. :)

Anyway, A few things today:

If I was mega ultra super sonic rich, I'd TOTALLY own this.  (thank you Andy for making me drool.

I have been trying to grow my hair for ages now, but since Manila is so SO hot (and HUMID..gaaaaaah!) this summer season, my long hair days may be cut short....no pun intended.  I added TWO new blogs to my list today and one of them, had THIS picture:

I absobloominglutely love this hue of green....

And the shades of camel.....I want my wedding to look like THIS color scheme. I can't believe I typed that but there you go. :)  I love sage and camel as colors!

And it is my nephew's and kitty's birthdays today!  Two of my favorite boys :D  Having dinner with Alfy later so I'm trying not to eat coz the food will be YUMMEH.

Today also, I've put in place a plan B.  I can't really say what it is for yet, but that I've put it in motion.  And I've also realised I don't like being in limbo.  Limbo as a planet sucks.  Nothing is real, everything is grey; nothing tangible, all fog.  I like knowing where I am or where I'm going...at least the general direction thereof.

That's not too much to ask for is it?  :)

I have my first gig back with my old band the Dorques tomorrow.  I think the butterflies are only starting to gather NOW, as the matter sinks in.  We are going to play a 45min set tomorrow, and though that may sound like a short time, you have to know that our songs are on average, 3mins.  Our entire album is just ABOUT 45mins, hahahaha! 

(L-R Knell - Bass; Joffy - vox, guitar; Nina - vox, keyboards; me - vox * DRRRRRRRUMS)

It'll be nice playing with them again.  There's a connexion that we have that I can't explain and even if we don't get along sometimes, and get on each other's nerves, it cannot be denied that when we make music together, it is so bloody EASY.  A beat, a riff, a chord.....and off we go.  I guess we're so in tune with each other that it's second nature to do what we do.  I like that. 

My friend's interactive art exhibit is going down on Saturday, and an old friend of mine and I will meet up then.  It should be an interesting night. :)  I"ll write more about both these events after the fact.  

Anyway, it's a full weekend ahead and I'm trying to brace myself for the fun! :)

SONG OF THE DAY :)

I FOUND IT!!! Song of the day. Totally wanna cover this, both drumming and singing :)

ENJOY! :D

Hot Ride by: Prodigy feat. Juliette Lewis (I love her she's so kickass)

Monday stuff

Sorting through the Monday to-dos, I've decided to look through some blogs to take a break. :)  As you do. 

So I found these little gems. 

I seriously want one of THESE in my little flat.  I figure that I can fit it in, since it seems slimmer than a regular piano. :)

This BAG is so cute.  Hyphen indeed.

I didn't know THIS.  It's like the length from the nook of your elbow, to the end of your wrist equals the measure of your foot.  Or your neck is half of your waist.  Or your fist is your sock.  :)

TO FELLOW NUTELLA LOVERS!!!  

LOOKATTHAT.

WOW.

Mispronounced foodie words.  I was not aware that that was how you said GYRO.  Learn something new every day. :)

What a cool book shop / cafe! 

Because I STILL want a cloche! 

And to end with a NICE QUOTE: 

"I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool." 

-- Theodore I. Rubin, MD (thanks Cup of Jo)

 Have a great week ahead! :)

This Thursday, I stayed home from work due to a painful tummy and slightly feverish body. :(  

But I tried to work from home, and I think I did ok. 

I saw a few things I'd like to share with you since I had such a sloooooooow day today....just a few things I picked up from the Internet that sort of describes my mood. 

I LIKE this quote.  Finally found one that describes my work ethic...if I have one.

Well done is better
than well said.“”

Benjamin Franklin

 I want THESE for my kitties...though they may very well murder me if I ever DID get them.

   BUT I could TOTALLY imagine Katara or Panthro wearing THIS one.  THEY'RE UNICORNS!!! :) hahahaha!!!

  I had a nice little bike ride today and got myself some coffee and groceries.  I'm excited to watch "West Wing" tonight.  :)

WOOOHOOOO!!! :)

Testy Tuesday

I am / was really testy today.  It's been a long, long day.  But since I don't want to blog about any more negativity, I will now post things here that has made me smile today.

First of all, I wouldn't mind living in ANY of these houses.  Gorgeous.

I would like to have this hanging somewhere in my home when I have children:

Things to help you SMILE. :D

A neat way of reusing those old MAGAZINES.

I am loving THIS ENTRY, and want to make my own #10 :) hihihihi

And THIS just made me feel gooey all over hahahaha :)  Clever little bugger. :)

I'm having a really trying week, and by the looks of things, it'll just get hairier.  I am not looking forward to it at all, though I know I need to roll with the punches.  I'm pretty sure I can, it is just a matter of how to do it.  I suppose, it's because there are a lot of things that are just hanging, that are really, really sensitive and tentative topics, and are completely out of my control.  Any false move could jeopordize and affect a lot of lives.  Nothing too life or death, or anything like that, though it is almost as good as. 

Still I try to look at the good in this, that it could very well get better, and that by the end of the week I'll know where I stand.  The risk is high, but the reward is equally so.  Fingers crossed. :)

Besides! My band, the Dorques is reuniting for a few gigs and the first one will be next week on the 5th.  I'm not as excited as I first thought, but I have missed playing those feel good tunes.  I've been studying our album, and boy, I never realised how FAST I made the time!!!!!  I'm so sorry bandmates!!!! :-s

It'll be fun though.  It was always fun playing with those guys.... :)  So need to worry.  Roll with the punches!!!  Steady as she blows....

...and for now, I will just sit back and have a beer.  :)

WHATTA BAND ROOM!!!!!

HOOOWAW.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW.

I like.
