You know you're sick when...

1. try to open the car's door when you haven't unlock.
2. put conditioner on your hair when you haven't shampoo.
3. buy groceries then leave it outside for 3 hours until realization.
4. no need to sneeze. The mucus flows down by itself like waterfall.
5. colleagues ask you to go home NOW.
6. fav movie *Little Miss Sunshine* isn't farney at all........

*cough cough*

Puppy Wish

His eyes just stare blankly back at me.

Did not know we are so close in age, makes it even tougher to comprehend.

The loss of a talent. HE could have taken someone else instead. Hope HE’s happy now.

:(


The full moon is at its full effect.

p.s. yeah, it's him. And I'm scared of death and that's why it's bugging me.

Since I'm officially an Interactive designer...

it's totally legit for me to surf the net all day during work for research.

My next client is a high-end luxury condo/hotel/spa service provider and I was just shoppingsurfing sophisticated luxury brands for reference.

Viktor & Rolf is not as huge as they should be, according to me coz' I actually like their logo/creative direction a lot. Check out this pic of their flagship store in Paris where the interiors are built upside down.



At first I thought they got their shitzz wrong on the website and wanna write a complaint letter to demand compensation for causing me such emotional distress. But then I realize I am the fooled fool.

Isn't that so clever?

Did I mention that I want to live to Paris?

I want to live in Paris.

Merci beaucoup!

Lazy Saturday

My TV is playing the Food Network, with a bubbly lady’s show call Barefoot in Paris. Firstly, I would like to say there is waaaaay too many chefs on TV now, raising them into mini celebrity status which I don’t know is good or bad. But I do enjoy looking at them making envious trips to different parts of the world AND having the chance to eat their hearts out b4 going back to the kitchen to whip up so-said inspired dishes, while getting paid. This show gets better when she cleverly incorporates her own husband or partner as he gets the same perks as she does while filming.

DAMN.

Another show I watch all the time is Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. First I though he was the guy who hosts “ America’s Funniest Home Videos”. Then I watched No Reservations and wondered why did he turn into such an awesome badass? It turns out they are totally different. Oops. Mister Bourdain is a very charismatic crazy man and I’m having a hard time tearing my eyes off him his show. I am mysteriously attracted to him. Might be that twinkle in his eye.

Speaking about Paris.

Excuse me but annoying Rachael Ray is on now and I have to change the channel… … Animal Planet it is. They’re playing Fat Pets, with corresponding fat owners. How depressing.

Back to Paris.

Some of you might have heard that I planned to live in Paris for a little bit after my stint in the States. And I’m confirming that. It’s a plan I’m planning to keep. It will just be for a couple of months, no longer than half a year unless I get adopted by Karl Lagerfield, who will dress me in Chanel everyday. Exciting isn’t it? I might cut my hair short, do some waitressing, hang out around photo booths at the Metro station, photograph gnomes and design treasure hunting games for beautiful French men. Sounds like it’s just out of a movie? I think you’re nuts.

I have to confess something though. I totally derailed from one of my new year resolution yesterday. It’s hard. So, what’s wrong with just sitting on the couch every night after work?

By the way, it’s brrrrrrrrrrrr cold here. My car registered a negative Celsius one morning last week.

Speaking of cold, I suddenly remembered I should post about my current obsessions.

SOCKS.

I found these socks one day and almost flight-ed to Heaven.
It led to a compulsive search online to acquire them. They’re expensive but I really don’t care. After exerting a few days of impulse, I went to a local store and guess what! I found two pairs of the similar design buried underneath the sales baskets at 50% off.

YAY!!!

Officially score of the century.

city sweeeeet city

This is a very inspiring poster of somewhere so near yet so far, in my heart.

But I told myself to start looking forward —> now. No regrets + no remorse + no waiting.

And here is where I hope to land next, not counting my up-coming trip in 4 weeks.

Which reminds me, I've finally got my hands on this.

I should've warned you.

As you all know I do nothing at work, so I ventured to Amazon.com and search for the types of Singapore-se periodicals that I might subscribe due to homesickness. And then I found this.

I almost regurgitated my lunch.

$5,427.19 for that totally one-opinionated boring crap?

For those of you who don't know, It's the main (only) newspaper in Singapore.

Mexican boy glues self to bed to avoid school (smart!)

MONTERREY, Mexico (AFP) - A 10-year-old Mexican boy glued his hand to his bed to avoid going back to school after the Christmas break, authorities said Monday.

"I thought if I was glued to the bed, they couldn't make me go to school," the boy, Diego, told AFP. "I didn't want to go, the holidays were so much fun."

"I remembered my mom had bought a very strong glue," he said of the industrial strength shoe glue he used to stick his hand to the bed's metal headboard, where he stayed stuck for two hours.

His mother Sandra Palacios was unable to free him and called paramedics and police to help. Diego watched cartoons while they worked to unglue him, eventually using a spray to dissolve the chemical adhesive.

"I don't know why this happened. He is a very good boy," said his mother.

Diego eventually made it school a few hours late. <— should've gave him the whole day off at least...

My no. 1 reason for low-productivity rate

I'm being paid to do nothing lately...well, our dept. kinda deserves this break because we've just launched 2 major painful websites. I was introduced to this plug-in for Mozilla's Firefox browser which clearly is a time-consuming, you'll-never-work-again kinda fun thing to install. It randomly brings you to ANY webpage ever created based on your preferences. So you can definitely pick your usual filthy humor, political news, girly blogs, weather-first topics and you're all ready to roll.

Try it, It's actually much better than how I'm describing it. I just lost my writing skills today.
And of course if you're doing this at work, don't brag about it to other colleagues unless you work in a casual environment like mine. And don't blame me if you ever get fired because this post will self-destruct in 10 seconds and you'll lose all evidence.

So, have plenty fun!

You know how sometimes
