Definitely Maybe

Leave a Comment
Spoiler alert. As usual with all the movies i review, there are spoilers involved. Anyway, you should have watched this movie by now, it's the first movie i've been to in about a month i think, so you guys should be more updated on the movie scene than me.I'm not too sure about this movie. It wasn't a clear cut definite for me, it's more like a maybe. Haha, but i can't put it out, cos it did tug at my heart strings, just a little. I know my movie partner didn't seem to enjoy it all that much, but i did. I just knew it was going to be April. I mean, if it were me, i'd want it to be April. She just...she's my character. You know how there's always this character in movies that's just so you [maybe not you exactly but somewhat reminds you of you in a small way or something]...she's that character. Always the friend...bubbly, overtalky, skip-in-her-step kinda person. Reminds me a little of Amy Adams in Enchanted. I teared when she finally got the book from the guy. Well, it was a nice happy ending.

Not that all to the movie was good, i didn't like how the actors always fell into physical attraction, so cheesy and makes me cringe to watch them being unable to keep their hands [or mouths for that matter] off each other. It was also kinda sad to see the guy being so indecisive and somewhat unfaithful. Well, thank God not all guys are like that. Oh ya! What about the whole beginning, where the kids were given sex ed in school and oh that whole section where the kids just jabber away at body parts and thrusting... geez.

So it was a 50/50 thing. I half liked it and half didn't =P So it was a definite maybe.

Here's an event happening this weekend. I'll probably be there on Sunday, seems like Sunday after church is my flea market, shopping and bargaining time. So see you there if you go.

Stocking up

Leave a Comment
Phew! Stocking the shop is a real tough job. Starting off small is always a good idea. I've been going round here there everywhere to places that have better quality products for reasonable prices instead of going to the usual cheap haunts. It's tiring going looking for these places. But it has been some of the most fun i've had in a long while. I've been buying vintage for myself for the longest time so well, it's only fair to use my eye for others as well. Choosing designs, coloring things, making things...sigh, i could do this forever. Okay, maybe not. Great in small doses, i guess.

Just a few more things to do before the first opening. Hopefully the site generates enough traffic so people would see and buy. I need to print a few more things and voila!

not a shiny happy person

You have no idea how frustrating it is to look from friend to friend, wanting to unload and find that you just shut down. I can't say a word. Me, a person who usually has too many words coming out of her mouth. Who can't shut up. It's easy to see now right? The sanguine is actually a really really covered up person. For all the happy jolliness of the sanguine, for some, it's just a protective shield. And ripping this shield off, is so so tough. I've piled on layer after layer to protect myself and i can't get it off now. And what do i do when the going gets tough? I pile on another layer [the comforter] and camp out underneath it for a couple of months. I can't bear being outside, pretending to be all the shiny happy people. S'why i'm home now, hiding.

The second chance...

Leave a Comment
...that didn't work out. I decided to give i.ph one more chance, but unfortunately, sigh... blogging on i.ph from the college pcs really sucked.


Here are some happy photos, that hopefully would elevate my mood. Expect more of them. I need all the help i can get.

Discarded to Divine

Leave a Comment
From flaws to fantastic... Discardedtodivine is my kind of thing. It's donated clothes transformed into one-of-a-kind couture creations auctioned to help the poor and homeless. Have a look at some of the gorgeous designs...

It's a slump

Leave a Comment
Sigh. Sometimes i wish i could live the life of a rich tai tai, whose only activity needed is to please her husband, take care of the maids who take care of the household matters and spend the rest of her time doing absolutely whatever she feels like doing. Sometimes i wish i could, just sometimes. Oh well. It's a downhill down down downward slump. And it's starting to seem futile, waiting for your friends to come round. But that's fine. Well, humans are humans. Can't expect them to do God's job, right?

I'm back

Leave a Comment
Should've known better than to be tempted away from loyal and faithful to new and gorgeous. So here i am. Well, blogger still doesn't have the function that really tempted me over, which was the privacy function, but oh well.

I can't believe i've only abandoned you for a month. Hahaha, it feels like it's been so long and now i'm in a process of getting to know you again.

Update

Leave a Comment

Wow, i’ve been busy busy busy in the last week or so. So many things going on, but it’s finally come to an end as i start my next semester tomorrow. I’m finally not free anymore people, so stop taking for granted that i’m free to do everything =)
I have something to show you.

It’s from a little project i did recently, which really was a big project for me. I’m not sure whether it’s completely okay to show you the whole image yet but here’s a "censored" one.
You see the dress in these pictures? I made it! Woo hoo! My first step to costuming! So exciting!
I had always had this itch to try costume design, especially to work with the theatre, Broadway, whatever… so i’ve scratched at least a bit off that itch =)  This makes me yearn for the wardrobe stylist life, to try my best to help people achieve the look, the mood, the feel that they’re going for in any scene. I think it’d be hard work but really satisfying. We’ll see then, now that i have this decorating my wall.
