WOW! It's March!!! :)

Holy heavens it's March!!! I'm so sorry I've left you unattended for a while but there have been QUITE a few things that have been going on.  Let's start off with the crappy stuff that I can sum up in one go:

I WAS SICK.

I was and sort of still IS sick. :(  Had a cold, then an on and off fever, and cough. There are remnants of a cough, and a wee bit of the cold but otherwise I'm chippy as an be. 

ONTO THE GOOD NEWS!

I have seen not only the Gorillaz and the Gin Blossoms in concert, but I have also seen the Deftones:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand......ERIC FREAKING CLAPTON.

And the Stone Temple Pilots are coming next week here to Manila.  To say that I'm excited is an understatement :)  We don't get gigs like these in Manila very often so I will grab every chance I get. 

I was sick during Clapton's concert in Hong Kong, which was unbelievably COLD, but it was fantastic. FANTASTIC.  Here I wrote a whole article about it :) 

Now moving forward, I have stopped smoking cigarettes (!), which I am quite proud of, and why I don't mind being so sick and I've also been hanging out at home more. Since I do a lot of hanging out at home, I've also have gotten back to re-imagining my space.  I still want to paint my room a certain color, and I would like to clean up the state of the 2nd bedroom.  So here's what I've decided:  I will hold a garage sale.  I'm just waiting for a weekend that is free (nowadays there aren't many long weekends like last year) and plan it for then. I just wonder who will buy a 3rd hand air conditioning unit.

As I go through the blogs I've been following, I see that the back log I've got to catch up on is ENORMOUS. :(  Up for the challenge.  Let's see what are the things that inspire me today.

I really really really really REALLY want this poster.

I love this post about 2D. It's giving me ideas :)

Have you watched that movie "An Education"?

I did and all I wanted to do was get on a plane and fly to Europe. *sigh*  I DO miss that continent. 

But anyway.  Biggest question is WHEN CAN I FRAME MY PRINTS and what do I put HERE: 

The wall looks so extremely plain and sad. :(  Hey artist friends can you help me out here??

Ok. No one reads this blog. Hmmmm......

Well it's nice to be back.  I've got a lot more stories coming up ;)

Friday Friday Friday

For a Friday, today seems pretty mellow.  I'm not complaining at ALL, I actually like it and I'm excited to stay home and read tonight. And to top it all off I'm seeing Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Jojo tomorrow!

CHECK THIS OUT! :)

I should get some inspiration for new beats at that concert.  Which is good, considering I feel like my drumming has plateaued recently. :(  I haven't been able to practice as much as I'd like, so I  feel like I need to shoot some new inspiration into me. 

Which I hope this concert does.

I am hearting this store so much :)

I like this hat

I want this desk.  It is exactly the shape and size I envision for my desk at my home office. Maybe with nice little drawers underneath :)  Maybe in RED.

I thought that this was really, really, really cool :)

And that THIS was really, really, really funny, but it sure looks really comfortable.

These are some crazy but cool shoes

A tiny ass house.

Vices made pretty :)

I wanna try out THIS RECIPE.  Seems easy enough.

I don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but I like Jane Austen.  I've just finished reading "Pride and Prejudice" and I'm happy to say, I now know firsthand why it's a classic.  It is beautifully written!  And I wish that more people who write romance novels write it this way.  Then again, it is an era I suppose.  But see, and maybe this is because I'm in my 30s, but I believe that courtship is important to a relationship.  It is what lengthens the anticipation, and the little what we call in tagalog, "kilig"  moments.  It's when you get the butterflies in your stomach, that anticipation of what could come, the ifs and buts of the early stages of romance.  

Sorry I turned really girly there, but it's true.  Most girls like that.  Not necessarily cheesiness, more of just romantic.  As Franz Kafka said:

Oh. And I think I will build a fort soon.  Forts are COOL.  Maybe I can have a picnic or something. Yes.  That's a good plan.  For the birthday.  I can make a fort in the roofdeck of my building and have a picnic.  YAY!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AHEAD EVERYONE :)
