Project 2011: 64 - meet snow!

08.14.11

carrying a DLSR finally has taken it's toll on me. then comes the realization that i am too lazy to set and lug around a gigantaur. so i decided to buy a semi-pro instead. just in time for the upcoming business trip. ;)

J surprised me on the last minute by buying it for me instead. sweet! i kept on teasing him though that it's too much for a "happy august gift" and i'm still expecting a birthday gift. but just joking of course! :)

i chose white (hence the name "snow") because i find it cute and more suitable for my personality and i found the perfect matching camera strap online, which i bought first before the camera (oh well, what can i say, i am a girl!)

so tadaaaa... the camera and the strap. i like the modern vintage feel. we'll definitely make and keep memories together. :)

fridays is lunch out day. yeah, everyday we eat out but friday is special because we get to eat somewhere nicer (usually at the fastfood, lol).


here's a pic of H and I on the bus ride back to the office. by the looks of our faces, you can tell that we have already been fed. what you cannot tell from looking at us is that we're already past the 12-1PM lunch break!!! 


oh well... friday... :)

Project 2011: 54 - oh my mango

06.14.11
because it's tuesday... it's mango time! :)

Project 2011: 53 - it's the little things

06.12.11

it's in the tiny, little details and the everyday things that you notice that something's amiss.

here's yet another thing i miss - a bus stop pictorial.

can't wait for you to be back, J. 

then my feet (and my cutie sandals) wouldn't have to be alone anymore.

Project 2011: 52 - aren't we cute?

06.04.11


after our thai lunch and rejuvenating massages, L and I went shopping - window shopping.
we came across these pretty hats - hers was a fisherman's and mine was a cutie, floral-accented sunhat.


i just had to take a shot. this after all, was the closest i ever got to summer.

Project 2011: 51 - going thai

Project 2011: 50 - for the love of vintage

Project 2011: 49 - the can glass

i'm not a fan of mcdo, and i'm not really into collecting those collectible glasses. but since i have started with this green one, the OC-ness kicks in and wants to collect the cute-sy colors :D

Project 2011: 47 - of penguins, again

05.02.11

watching penguins would have to be my favorite part when going to the zoo.

i could stare at them all day if i have to.

it's amazing how they swish and swoosh effortlessly in the water.

and did you know that when penguins find their mates, it'd be for a lifetime?

sweet. just sweet.

african penguins at the jurong bird park entrance.

Project 2011: 46 - evocation of a memory

05.02.11

Project 2011: 45 - 'tis a different kind of race

04.30.11

Project 2011: 32 - like penguins

04.02.11

my favorite part when i go to the singapore zoo? the penguins! 

there's just something about them that makes me feel like i could just sit in front of them. watching the little things move, splash into the water, swim and swish around. maybe the frustrated swimmer in me is envious? 

Project 2011: 31 - as if it was a fairtytale

03.31.11

there's just something about this sight that caught my eye.

it made me think of ever-afters.

it sure looked like it came out straight out of a fairytale.

just a little above my laptop and my monitor is this wall divider. my teammates placed these two to watch over me, literally (when i look up, i see these two).

03.12.11


welcome J! and now, first dinner date and lunch! time to start the foodtrip! :)
we had lunch at Aston's, and then dinner at Saizeriya. considering it was our first dates abroad (hihi), the restaurants did not disappoint. we got great food without even breaking our purses. :) this one's what I had for dinner - the seafood ala doria at Saizeriya. baked rice, cheese, a lil bit of cream, and seafood - melted and baked, heavenly! :)
