2008 Beijing Olympics


You love watching sporting events. This, even if your lazy ass never want to try anything that require your sweat glands to reach for that extra mile, hmm or even just half a mile. You remember growing up though, you once dreamt of qualifying for the Olympics, representing your country and eventually bagging the bronze (hey, even if it was a dream you were trying to shoot for realism). You were less of a sloth then, and you really took swimming to heart. Swimming at least once a week and getting all excited about the thought of hitting the pool. Let's just say that when your father throws you mid-pool on the 6 feet level when you are barely three years old, you start to envision that you are destined for bigger and greater things. Hmm or maybe that's your brain lacking oxygen once again. Whatever your current disposition about anything that requires exerting energy, one thing that hasn't diminished is your love for watching the Olympics! (you even get a kick watching the winter olympics even if your country doesn't compete in any of the categories)

So for this year's Olympics you are way ecstatic that they are holding it in Beijing. Probably thinking that that's the closest you can get to ever watching the Olympics live...Hmmm..2012 travel plans...London perhaps? 8-8-08 8:08pm... let the count down begin...

Design Hunting: First Steps



serendra unit

We don't have a date planned out yet for the BIG day... i really don't think i am girly girl in that sense. I havent had the dress all thought out. No idea what the flower arrangements would look like. No preference yet as to what my bridesmaids would be wearing. All i know is that whenever that BIG day is - it has to have a killer band - and an even rocked out after party...


What i have been dreaming about since i was a young girl, is not the big white wedding - but something more achitecturally inclined - the ultimate kick-ass house me and my soon to be husband will be calling home. Lately, conversations with Manongski has turned into an open ended topic. The never-ending debate about the walk-in closet ensues. But this has been cushioned by the sweet victory of securing the L-shaped red couch our friends will soon be lounging around at. It's funny. At some point while discussing possible color combination for the dirty kitchen i just burst out laughing - this was all so grown up. I can't believe we're actually planning to build our own house na!

walk in closet: i want it all white!!

I'm currently obsessed with....

Gladiator sandals came out last season as one of the "it" shoes of the moment... But i have a feeling i would wear this even as the trend comes to an end. They just make your feet looks so pretty and femme!! And it doesn't hurt that it matches my current favorite top from Tyler...
