woof.

today i was randomly asked what i can't live without. i'm not really a complex person, like one of those who demand White Owl cigars when there are none.
well i honestly said chocolates. but deep down, one thing i can't live without is a canine companion to chill with, to have fits of giddy affection with.
in time. in time.

what the hey.

fashion has the power to make otherwise boring and ridiculous stuff look chic. But Vice Magazine has gone over the hill. sorry its just too funny not to post. these were the more discreet ones.

but ive to give my hats off to the courage of the concept. as the legendary ms. monroe said,

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

are those spring plungers in your pants, or are you just really happy to see me?

agua por vida

this is what this weekend feels like. refreshing. relaxing. its never enough, as always it feels to0 short come sunday night. but this one has brought that jumpstart-to-zen feeling that only the best best vitamin supplements does.
ah, what the company of good friends can bring.

bon apetit

julie and julia. yet another film showcasing how perfectly versatile meryl streep is. i loved the movie. for the obvious reason that its about food. But its also about perseverance and discipline (500 plus recipes in 354 days? this calls for serious health check and weight loss! (hopefully without clini slim side effects)
i also loved how it shows people that its Never too late to start anything--a new hobby, passion, career, and finding love even late in life.

kiss kiss bang bang

this is reason enough for me to grab a copy of US Vogue's Feb 2010 copy. Natalia Vodianova is one of my favorite models. She just gets better and better with age. Here she stars with P. Diddy in a very romantic pre-cold war type editorial.


I am just in love with this shot. The straight angling of her body leaning in the train for a kiss, the stark white of her dress, the steam..it may be a gloomy shot in all aspects, but the overall effect can hydrolyze a sore eye.

goodbye today.

Ugh. Today was nasty, nasty, nasty. but you know how when you were a kid, you wouldn't mind getting cuts and bruises if it meant getting to wear cool bandages? well today was the mother of all snafu days that i think tomorrow, things can only go up.
So I bid this day adieu, I'm glad you are over!!!
I'm gonna have a good night's sleep,--and doze like I do sleeping aid reviews for a living!

A bit of Alchemy here...

How's that for a thought, eh? This doesn't just apply to relationships with other people. It could be a life situation/job/predicament. There's no harm in always searching for what you want, for not being complacent. But what if you spend the rest of your life forever searching for that mecca, when it was right where you were--the starting point which you left?

It's a tricky ball game, life.

I tell you, images like these prove to be thebest multivitamins for the soul.
