Whaddup?
21 November 2012
i'm slowly making myself back to blogland... the holidays are around the corner. and this year, i feel that i'm a changed person. this is the cornerstone year. a watershed year. i still see the holidays with the same starry eyes, however, it feels different. this year, i truly appreciate the ability to remain starry-eyed despite the some less palatable side of life. growing old, i suppose...
now, back to that video. my burning question is... how do i get hold of that marker?
xo,

i almost couldn't believe it but am beginning to accept it...
we might be re-modelling once again.
this time, the floors. in the hope that we'll soundproof the apt.
i'm hoping for herringbone wood floors.
or herringbone tiles where the kitchen is concerned (*sob* i do like my faux-limestone flooring)
{those indigo tiles are so gorgeous, i feel like ripping my kitchen apart. good thing they are not available in singapore. tiles from Made a Mano}

the city breeds devils
sometimes, the complaints this city makes cause the most unpleasant heartburn and makes my skin crawl...stroller-haters<--so.not.cool.

paul smith's ark
i've always been intrigued by tapestry and when E and i were at Bayeux some years ago we were indeed quite blown away.
i'm inspired by this paul smith ark needlepoint not only by its beauty but its price tag has me seriously wanting to make my own version of it... as usual martha to the rescue...
yo gabba gabba!
we listen to the yo gabba gabba! soundtrack in the car. i always like this song by the roots and now there's a print to go with it...as my son would say "schwwwweeet!"
C likes this dance track a little too much...
and Anthony Bourdain looks so fish-out-of-water in this one, it's hilarious...

blabla
so, i'm still thinking about this suitcase... think i found the perfect doll for both the boy and the girl. Blabla's dolls and mobiles are designed by Florence Wetterwald and handmade by Peruvian artisans. i love how cuddly they look.

i heart taro gomi
i was at a day care facility the other day. the purpose of the visit was part of the domestic-affairs-contingency-plan that i had mapped out for my own peace of mind. and ever the alert mom, besides NOT paying attention to what the principal (who, curiously plays the role of a tour guide) was saying, i was scanning the day care center's library to see what books they stock. i have to say that i'm pretty impressed with what they were reading to the children, but this book, "My friends" by Taro Gomi (五味 太郎), caught my eye. the author's name sounded mightily familiar and as soon as i got back to my office, i googled it. aha! we have one of his books, "Everyone Poops" but little did I know he's Japanese... I can't wait to get hold of his books in Japanese now... dreaming of that vacation to Japan...
