Friday afternoon

This is the Friday afternoon of the first long weekend we have this month. Yes, we have TWO.  And not only do we have TWO, they are BACK TO BACK.  So next week is also another long (I think it is actually even a long-er) weekend. YAY!!! :) 

So here I am, picking up where I've slacked off with you my poor, unread blog and I'm here to give you some necessary attention :)

Saw the usually fantastic stuff online today that I want to share! :)  Here we go :) Oh and as I write, here is a little SOUNDTRACK for you to listen to, if you feel so inclined :)

I know that somewhere in my city (Manila, Philippines), I can do this...  Though when I will need a sweatshirt, considering it doesn't get colder than 25 degrees Celsius, is beyond me. I know! I can do this to tshirts :)

Hilarious "theory" :)

I am technically not a fan of table cloths, but I think I may do this DIY one for the cats, like a little curtain for the litter area. 

I love how these bookshelves go into  the wall. I'm still trying to think if this is how I want mine. Maybe in a bigger space and not this current apartment.

For those really bad days.

I wish we could do things like these here in Manila.

I have a feeling I will be using THIS SITE A WHOLE LOT.

Pretty cool unfinished art.

When I have kids, I have a feeling that I will do my own version of this :)  Pretty neat :)

A brief history on Human Communication :)

I want to do this to whatever house/apartment/condo I am in, which is to set apart a space, whoever small, just to BE. These are great examples of that.

AND! These stamp-like wall rollers are giving me ideas too of what I can do in my own home :) OR you can just go straight into their website, http://the-painted-house.co.uk/

I WANT THIS SKIRT SO MUCH I COULD CRY.

Ok and these leggings too :) hehehhe :)

Fun Halloween stuff :)

I am loving this HOUSE PLAN, but maybe not the same exact stuff... and not the same colour definitely.

And THIS is just an overall great reminder :)

This weekend, I am planning to bank articles and do some research on a secret project I'm doing.  I owe my tito this for a very long time.  But next weekend, I'm going on a baking spree. I haven't been able to do ANY baking in a long time, so this will be fun.  

I also need to start brain storming on what to write about in the other blog with the boyfie. 

Until then my dear blog :)  *hug*

Sunday Afternoon

Today I'm taking a break from fighting back writing deadlines... one article in particular I should be in the process of editing. Suffice it to say that I'm nowhere near editing.

So whilst I wait for my water to get hot before I brew some coffee, I decided to tell you about my trip to Singapore and about some stuff I've seen online.

YAY! :) So, we went to Singapore and saw STUFF. Lots of STUFF :)  Stuff like this lady:

If you don't know who this is, well... I dunno if I should tell you. *sigh* I've had a girl crush on her for a good 16 years.  Her name is Shirley Manson and before she ever played a Terminator on TV, she was my 16 year old self's answer to girl power.  She sang about dark, deep stuff, singing things I never thought I could say out loud, or indeed, could not have be able to define.  And why I've always wanted to have red hair. I realise now that it is all because of HER.  NO joke. 

And I got her set list.  My boyfriend has a weird picture of me clutching it once I got it.  A weird picture because he likes to take pictures underexposed or with some sort of special weird setting like "pixelated". But, I got this. This ladies and gentlemen, is the set list of MS. SHIRLEY MANSON. Yeah. She LOOKED at this sucked the entirety of the concert, of which we were in front of the mosh pit and standing (ok fine, I sat for a while) for a good 5 hours. We shit you not. 

These two were the ones we were with in the Garbage concert. That's one of my bestest friends in the world, Emrys and his other best friend, the weirdo Mike. I love them both vewy much.

 Then we (boyfriend and I) saw the Beach Boys.  

 

Unlike Garbage, there is no moshing or pit to be had in this concert as we rightly assumed, most of the people going would need the chairs provided.  This was our view of them,from the seats we bought, BUT we moved to the back part of the stadium and eventually watched the whole thing from there because all we did was dance and sing :D

This is Brian Wilson who is considered the songwriting genius behind the Beach Boys.  I felt so bad for him at some points of the concert because it looked like he was about to keel over on his keyboard.  But then he'd open his mouth to sing and it would be magic. YAY! :)

The boyfriend. Doesn't he look SO EXCITED?? :) hahahaha! 

All the food shots will follow. I'm supposed to write about it first for a publication here and can't really show the shots I got.

So... Moving on.

Found these gems today online trolling :)

Technically we don't have a fall here in the Philippines, it's just HOT or WET. Do not insert the dirty joke I have on the tip of my tongue here... but yeah, that is why we are a tropical country.  But that being said, I still want all the dresses in this link :)

I would like to go to Utah just to see this:

Isn't that beautiful? It's the 2nd one I've seen in the last 36 hours. It's a sign.  

Oh also... since the wanderlust bug has been sort of satisfied, I still want more. HAHAHHA!  I am determined to see the Aurora Borealis before I die.  And that I go on a cruise.  Apparently, I can do both, according to my friend, Adam. He used to work for a cruise ship before and he said that it is an awesome experience.  

And I agree. Doesn't this look AWESOME?? :)  I am currently researching on the best deals to get on a cruise for this.  YAY! :)

 

I want to do this just because I am one of those people who like clean things. And baby wipes usually aren't as strong as those alcohol based ones which wreak havoc on my skin. If you want, here's the recipe for your own baby wipes :)

I am hoping that this awesome blog entry will be the catalyst that will kick my butt into being more organised. That being said, I need to find organising doo dads for my office desk. I tend to keep it sparse but need to have things such as a pen holder, stapler, incoming and outgoing paper tray, etc.

In other news, I finally got meself a cello. FINALLY.  YAY! Since it looks like a handsome fella, I've named it Bowie. Cool, and collected with a little bit of punk. HEE :) And my sister recommended a teacher for me, so I'll start on the 18th. I am hoping this thing (apart from work and exercise) will start taking over my life. 

What HAS taken over my life already are THESE:

Top left is the big boss man Panthro and the one sprawled out beneath him is Katara. They simultaneously seem to want to kill me and love me. I love them dearly.

Leaving you with a track this Sunday afternoon/early evening. Have a good one :) 

Midnight again!

Ah the beginning of the month. The beginning of anything is exciting really, isn't it? I've just stated on twitter that I need a bigger vision board, and a friend offered that I should get a vision wall. 

I may just do that.  

I have a deadline looming so I will make this fast!

The nerd and geek in me LOVES THIS.   So so cute!

I love that this blog has a Fiction Friday.

I love Wes Anderson's sense of style, the tone of his movies, the momentum, everything.  So this is awesome for me.  I still need to watch Moonrise Kingdom. And boy, I love Bill Murray :)

One day, I will be in THIS BLOG.  HAHAHA! :) Bucket list! :)

I miss hanging out in libraries, coffee shops and all these other places. This should be my reminder.

I think I will do this very soon ;) Such a great idea.

I miss Britain. PERIOD.

I honestly love everything in this picture. Even the blondness. I've been thinking about going blonde actually, like WHITE blonde. Hmmm.

I too will now take on exercise again. My body is craving for it. And also because I want a whole new wardrobe hahahaha :) 

Until the next time....Goodnight cyberspace!

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 the green bag and tweeds :)

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

Conde Nast Store...selling such wonderful prints :)  

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

DIY

My DIY bug is here to stay.  I should start thinking like THIS lovely lady.  That's just so CUTE.

Oh and THIS...If I had the money to ask these people to send me stuff to the Philippines, I WOULD.

I'm actually thinking of starting a little cross stitch project for next year once I get stable in the job front.  Maybe I can post on Etsy as well.  Here's hoping :)

Tricky Thursday

Today I'm just hoping I can last until tomorrow.  hahaha!  It's been a tiring, though short week.  Maybe it's because it's SHORT that it is tiring.  It's not the bad tiring though, it is the good, for once.  I've been hanging out with a lot of my favorite people and my singing expedition last Tuesday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I actually had a lot of fun!

The next major event will be tonight at the same venue, again me handling with Raptor.  I hope there are a lot of people that show tonight.  I hope that I can pay the bands a nice little fee, and I hope to get me a little something to tide me over for the weekend. 

I have been planning this weekend...I hope I actually DO the stuff I'm planning to do such as:

- Measure the wall, FINALLY for the shelves.

- Measure my bed to see if it is actually, a queen and not a double.

- Get my old stuff to sell from C and put aside the expensive ones to inventory and put online to sell.

That is basically it.  I'm actually trying to save up for that bike I posted way back.  I want that bike more than ever now.  *sigh*  I CAN DO IT!  I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! :D

Since it's now September, it also means that those projects I'm putting  up in C's resto/bar is slowly coming at me.  EEEP!  I'm really truly excited for it, and I will try to make sure people will go.  I'm also very, VERY excited with the thought that I'll be getting my new tattoo soon.  I can't wait to post it! :)  I've seen the drawing for it already, but I can't wait til it's on my skin.  It will be purrrty.  And painful.  But mostly purrrrty.

I'm happy that I've been hanging out with S&P since as a tagteam they're funny.  One of the cutest couples I know.  She's trying out for a VJ position here in my company, and they'll be moving in to the apartment under me by next week.  SWEET! :)  New neighbors!! :D

Lots of things to look forward to.  I hope I can write again tomorrow.  Until then, I'll leave you with this picture.  :)

Ahhhh...nothing like a yummy breakfast with coffee to get your day started right! :)
