To say that I’m a SATC fan is an understatement. Damn I worship them! Notice it’s not a past tense i.e. I still do, very much – although I skipped the second movie as the idea of Carrie sorta cheating on Mr. Big is too much to handle. I’m lame that way and like to find my fairy tale happy endings in TV series.
I have to say this upfront: I am no angel. In fact, I am possible your worst nightmare boys. I can already have a mental checklist of people who can testify for that as I am typing now. I guess my issues are the pretty standard ones – insecure, ask for too much too often (talking about time and attention here), REALLY (like REALLY REALLY) afraid of getting hurt so I would pull the trigger on them first, selfish, crazy, you know that standard list.
I sometimes think that I am so amazing at ruining this I could make a business out of it! Headline reads, “How to lose Love in less days 7 days!” with supporting disclaimer in fine print that goes, “Complementary heartache as the opening promotion. Terms and conditions apply.” And with this, I figured the best (and the only way) is to take a spin and focus on career instead. Imagine how AWESOME it is to have an employee/ colleague/ team member who only wants to drown herself in work, a FILO at work with a single-minded objective – to foster the best communication with the brand’s and consumers’ best interest in mind, client satisfaction and trust which all will ultimately deliver the profitability objectives for the company. It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN situation!
Frankly, I couldn’t help but to feel amazed with how I could jump from one topic to another without you guys giving me the WTF look! LOL. How a heartbreak quote from SATC can bring y’all to a full paragraph on my job-hunting-self-motivational-talk. (moment of pause) I want to get through this alright; with minimal tears soaking up my pillows. I need to.
ps. FILO stands for “First In, Last Out”. Someone used to call me that in my first agency and I secretly loved it.
My dearest Allie,
I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I hope to give to you forever.
I love you. I’ll be seeing you.

Despite my busy schedule – cough cough (it’s a lie) – I try to find time to learn new skills; or just trying to recall things that have slipped my memory (..not a lie). In this case, Photoshop.
During college days, we had classes on Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. My favourite was InDesign – I still remember how I spent way too many hours on that magazine assignment which I absolutely love. I decided to churn out a gardening magazine because the stubborn me insisted on having gerberas and at that point of time, I honestly couldn’t think of any other topics/ genre that wouldn’t make the gerberas out of place. Not even now.
Now, now. So glad I found this photoshop-for-dummy-like-website which is super detailed and easy to follow. Wheeeeee. Though I must say the tutorials are rather basic – which is good for beginners like me – focusing on photo-enhancing, placing text, tweaking colours etc. Ready to see my edits without any judgement or sneer? *drumroll*
ATTEMPT 1: Place an image in text
(ps. I’ve always wanted to do this. Damn creative people on tumblr.)
// original image of mr. nutcracker
// the photoshop-ed version
ATTEMPT 2: Make a gif baby!
// original image of some dangling pink balls ornaments
// Magick!
ATTEMPT 3: Change background (a.k.a Hide a messy room)
// me in my grinch-like mood
// Holla baby! (no more green monster but the background is kinda creepy now.. LOL)
Okay. Thanks for your time. LOL.

Don’t bother messing around with your body if you’re looking for a fail-proof, bullet-train-speed way to weight loss. Go for the head or the heart. Well, I have to say that the latter has never failed me thus far. I feel sorry for the rest of me whenever I let the stoopid heart takes the reign.
ps. Sorry, this is not a weight loss post. Duh.
Today has got the best weather for this entire week I think. It rained earlier and still somewhat cloudy now. Not a good day for laundry but I have a dryer so I don’t really care. Okay enough of mindless weather talk.
I was trolling tumblr as usual and found this link to a doll-making app! Teehee. Here’s my majestic damsel from the Tudors. Think Scarlet J.
I know I need to grow up. Like now... LOL. Happy Saturday peeps xoxo.
