One. Two.

Two things. 
One, I can't help but stare at this photo of a sushi/sashimi platter I indulged myself with last summer. huhu. I'm desperately salivating over it at this very moment.

Two. I miss the sun and the crystal clear skies.

The weather has been utterly depressing lately. 

 

I miss walking barefoot along the beach and I certainly miss the smell of Hawaiian Tropics even though most of the time, it fails to serve it's purpose :D

Cirque du Soleil

Watched Cirque du Soleil's VAREKAI yesterday... It was nothing short of fantastical! It was a trip down memory lane...except it took a detour to my childhood fantasies.

The Cirque du Soleil is not only world renowned for their breath taking, heart thumping, stomach churning acrobatics, but also for their blue and yellow-striped tents...hehe, just as how I a imagined a circus would be like as a child ;)

The entire production was a color feast...I've never seen anything so colorful in my life...haha. It made the gloomy sky outside the tent cry a little sunshine.

The stage view from the Trapis Rouge. We were not allowed to snap some shots during the show.

To enter the Grand Chapiteau and witness the grandiosity may cost one a fortune, but all in all, the show is indeed worth every hard-earned penny :)

Time.

Completely free and yet so difficult to give away.

Hadouken!

Missing Palawan.

I'm Nearing Silver!

I wished for only one thing :)

Wining and Dining.

 I was feeling ill from work so I opted to go home and cook dinner for the family.

By and large, I had a great birthday--sweet and intimate, just the way I really want it. 

Thank you Lord for another year. You chose to give life to my worthless, minuscule soul...I don't even deserve it but Your unfailing goodness, love and mercy overshadow my flaws and now I'm worthy to enter your Presence. I love you :)

Be Captivated

 Is it ever possible to love and not be captivated?

I miss this place (GINORMOUS SIGH)...It is so rare to chance upon the heat of the 

sun these days...(It's rainy season)

...The answer is, NO.

Seven and Still Single

Happy happy birthday to our fat furry bundle of joy, Boxer!!! He's already seven and he still has no interest to go after a female counterpart to spend the rest of his life with. heh.

 

Everybody loves Boxer!

I Simply Remember My Favorite Things and Then I Don't Feel So Bad

...because the Sound of Music is on Repeat in my Ipod...

Shades for protection. Ironically, I don't really use them, I just stare at them as they sit on my dresser. I simply like them cos they look vintage :)

My trusty Ikea lamp for the semi-bookworm that I am.

Some of the purses I got from my Lola's closet :D

  

I'm obsessed with "The Glass Heart" by Sally Gardner, I'm especially drawn to the illustration, not to mention it is nothing short of a fairy tale story. Expect an abounding sigh too as you leaf through it. (It's a children's book by the way). I used to love pearls and gold but now I think dainty doesn't fit me well anymore.

 

Vintage Bill Blass from Pop and some gold pendants representing Paris' landmarks (of course) that I got from my mom's "discard tray".

 

How could anyone possibly resist happiness in a bottle?...I just can't help but paint life onto those dead skins (aka nails) with these colors!

 

New Babies!

 

"My" little felines. They are so darn cute...my heart melts. WAH!

 

One (wo)Man's Trash is Another (wo)Man's Treasure

Dug up this beautiful dress from my Lola's baul (my Grandma's trunk).

 It's a wrap dress with a draping at the side (can't be seen though). I wonder when I can raid my Lola's baul again...hmmm :)
