villain-y.

happy earth day


earth as i think it should be

didn't i say april was a good month?
happy earth day all.
i feel the same way about earth day
as i do valentine's day, mother's day,
father's day etc.
we really don't need a designated day
to show love and care to earth.
(or your mom and dad at that)
every day is earth day as my
fellow blogger says.

so let's keep it clean. and happy.

off topic, i'm actually excited for
my bday tmr. :)

have you seen this?


pic from oddee.com

i love folgers' advertising idea.
these were places on manholes
around one of my fav cities
new york.

definitely an eyecatcher.

flower hat



happy tuesday.
see the contrast between the
bright happy colours of the flowers
and doleful, dull look on the face.

my mood today is probably right
in the middle.
here's to teetering over to the
bright side.

google

i'm sure most people have seen
these pictures already but there
is something to be said for having
a comfortable work environment.

when i grow up i want my business
space to look like this.

click here to apply for a job at google.

the pomengrate



what would be your ideal all in one device?
check out the pomegranate here and be
sure to check out all its features and save
looking at the release date for last.
the flash on the site was eggcellent, loved it.

i'm not an all-in-oner. i dont mind the
separation as much as others, maybe because
i'm not willing to compromise some features.
so i always have my blackberry, ipod touch and
my underwater camera. until someone makes
my ideal all in one device.

happy 420!

tgifriday



here's to another great wkend
up ahead. here's to getting some
artistic work done over the wkend.
here's to staying dedicated to p90x
for at least a month and not lose any
weight.

have an exceptionally great wkend!

mishmash



i should have put my hand beside
it so you see just how big it is.

i took a chunk out of my first initial
made of delicious dutch chocolate
this morning.

in other news, i'm trying to plan
an adult-not-pornstar loot bag
for my bday bbq tmr.

any suggestions would be welcome!

curly or straight?



i don't mean to generalise but
i find that people are usually
not satisfied with what they
have.

you have curly hair and you
style it so its straight or you
have straight hair and you
perm it so its curly.

poor people want to be rich
and while rich people certainly
don't want to be poor, they do
want to be richer.

maybe its just human nature

or maybe we just like to shake
things up every now and then.

some change aint so bad.

jouvert



a few pics from jouvert this
past wkend.

there was less paint this year,
i guess nothing is recession proof,
but i wasn't greatly disappointed.
last year you couldn't see my skin
under all that paint and it took
a dip in the sea, being hosed off and several
shampoos and baths to get it all off.

this year it only took two showers.

the pics are:
the stage during the performance,
cam's back,
the roughly 100 ft appleton rum bottle
and my friends getting on bad to the
music.

yay for saran wrap.

easter egg hunt



there was no chocolate in that egg...
nope

i was emptying a straw basket that
i keep cloth in and noticed these
two small already hatched eggs
laying at the bottom.

i recognised them as lizard eggs
from my days of flipping over
every rock in my dad's backyard,
but given i was not in my dad's
backyard i found it...surprising.

i dubbed this my easter jurassic park experience.

ice men



photo taken from here

miniature sitting figures.

love it!

flutter



this video is a nice parody
of the latest social
networking tool, twitter.

myself, i am staying away from
twitter. not a great fan of the
word limit and inability to post
photos. blogger is more my style.

plus with all these options,
a girl could have a social
networking overload!

hi5, myspace, facebook, blogger,
twitter, wordpress, tumblr,
tagged, linkedin etc etc etc.

i say just pick 2 (or 3)

i happened upon rachel papo
on laissezfaire a couple days
ago and was instantly smitten.

although i stopped ballet 5 years ago,
the love certainly isnt gone.

take a look at some of her other
lovely works on her site.

april what?!

hardy har har har google.

i was looking for video on youtube
just now and something in my
recommended videos caught my
eye, so i clicked on it.
and being that today is april fool's day
it was upside down. completely.
i had a 'wtf' moment until i
remembered who owns youtube.

anyway april is shaping up to be
quite a superb month.



pm's bday is on the 3rd and her celebrations
start after work on friday and continue
on saturday with a bbq and bounce a bout! {lol}

the 10th and the 13th are holidays {yeeeeesss}
and we'll be down in the country for beach jouvert.
bring on the paint.

the 19th is the celebration for my
bday on the 23rd, and then cam on the 25th.

its gonna be a great month!

morning









some morning shots as i waited
outside the office.

nature is so puurrrty.

i wonder if my friends would
be up for another blue mountain
hike.

minus the rat infested cabin it
should be fun.
