money hungry

why does money affect us in such negative ways?
it turns us into corporate zombies (bad or good thing?),
makes us buy lottery tickets with dreams of
being the lucky soul (out of millions),
makes us completely disregard others' lives (steal, extort & kill),
and invest in the sticky webs of get rich quick schemes
that make us do crazy things like sell the house
that we have made our home to invest.

its actually sounds a bit like we can't do without it.
for some people, keeping up with joneses is the bane
of their existence.
some people work to make life better for those who come after them.
some people just want to go through life without having to worry
about not having the basics.

of course its never as black and white as that.
i'd just say i'm not money hungry.

i love patterns just as much as i love a nice solid colour.
often made through repeating one or more single aspects,
or sometimes many unique aspects that complement each other.
sometimes it just requires taking a step back to see the pattern
of the bigger picture.
sometimes a step forward so we can see what we are missing.

you can find a pattern in almost anything,
and the same is true for our lives.

i'm a sucker for bright colours.


from gucci

i especially love to see neutral colours
with bright, fun colour playing peek-a-boo
as the mastermind designers at gucci did
with this ensemble.

2 months...

time really does fly when you're caught up with other things.

a lot has happened in the past two months such as:
-birthdays (mr., his bro, my sis)
-cam moved her blog to tumblr
-death of my laptop (basically)

time to get the ball rolling again!
