hello my name is mary jane

i am still in search of something similar like these shoes.. but i haven't been able to find any. and it feels like this week is going by so slow for me. it's only tuesday!! anyways, i am off to drink my english breakfast tea.. i think it's getting cold already.

i should have trusted my instinct

i saw these mugs about a month ago and thought that they were so nice. and i was actually looking for something like this too.

the thing i don't get is.. why didn't i buy it..? i guess i thought i didn't need another mug. but i really am regretting the decision.

have you ever saw something in the shops.. liked it, but decided not to get it? and then realize that you actually want it..?

i don't know, i guess i'm a sucker for mugs or glasses that have two layers because they don't get too hot or too cold to hold. and whether if it's hot or cold, the drinks will last longer in it's temperature.

anyways, there goes my rant for the day.

guess what?

i managed to get my lost blog posts back.. yay!! i was playing around and seeing if i can fix it, and i could..

but there's just one problem. for those who uses google reader to read my posts.. i think it may have updated your feed even though it was my previous posts. does that make any sense..?

anyways, i am truly sorry for the inconvenience but i'm extremely glad that everything is back to normal again. thank goodness!

the special ones

i remember taking this photo of these two little kids on the beach while i was vacationing. i actually took a couple of photos but i thought this one was cute because they both looked scared but intrigued, at the same time, by the water..

so iyeas, this is what i meant by mixed media i guess. there's my doodles [quote and border] and then there's the photo itself and the hearts were actually done by watercolors. i don't know if you can see it clearly but you can always just click on the image to see the full size.

anyways, i hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

excitingly new

i spent yesterday scanning all of the doodles that i have made so far.. and along the process of that, tirelessly opening and closing the scanner over and over again, this idea came up..

i'm putting my doodles into my moleskine pages digitally. this way, i get to mix everything all in one page. for example, the doodles on this post are actually watercolors.. and there'll be more mixed media coming up in future posts.

so what do you guys think? i honestly like it. and i guess it's cause it's something new and i always get excited when i come up with something new and get to play around with it. tell me what you think please! kind of need the feedback here.

most important meal

i have been feeling under the weather lately. so please excuse the lack of posts. i've just been resting a lot and eating a lot at the same time.

and oh, i have been doodling again so i'll be posting new doodles soon too. just please be patient with me..

ps. did you notice any changes from the blog? just in case you didn't, i made this column smaller.. the previous one was just far too big and white for my liking. and i also changed the blinking girl at the top. she is no longer using glasses and i changed her hair style too. do tell me what you think!

the cutest little shop

there is nothing better than a little french and a little japanese mixed in together to create a shop. well actually, it turns out to be quite a good pair.

i came across this online shop quite a while ago. i don't even remember where i got it from but it is such a delight to visit.

they have the cutest rings and other bits and pieces which i think you all will appreciate. because i know i do.

dilemma

this is an old doodle. i never posted it cause i guess i didn't like how it turned out to be. but here it is..

anyways, i have been watching lots of movies lately. well not lots, a couple. and i find it to be the most relaxing thing to do when you are at home and lazy to do anything else.

so i was wondering, is there any particular movie you love..? cause i am running out of things to watch and would love to hear any suggestions.

cups of tea

apparently, tea calms you down. or that's what i have been told anyways. i have been liking earl grey for a while now.. it has a nice soothing feeling to it. and i guess i am starting to learn to appreciate hot tea instead of drinking it with ice all the time.

what's your favorite kind of tea?

also, i bought these two muji pyjamas recently. i love how they are tied with a simple linen ribbon, just so that it'll be in place. i have only worn the one on the left.. i am kind of saving the one on the right. i don't know what for.. but i tend to do that with new things. i like to save it up for something.. even if there's nothing to save up for it.. if that even makes any sense. it just feels nice to have something new and never worn before.. i guess.

all tied up

i received this lovely package a while ago. it's from natsumi and it's a small standing calendar. i wished i had taken a photo of the calendar itself but i was too amused at the simplicity of the package. it made me feel so calm and happy at the same time.

be sure to check out her blog and etsy, maybe you'll find something for yourself.

ps. i am having second thoughts on my blog layout. it's getting quite annoying to upkeep because i am using the classic template instead of newer template options. don't be surprised if this looks different again..

remember this

addicted to: white tights

an old photo. i think i may have posted it before. but there's no harm in recycling, right..?

i hope everyone had a great weekend!

it's a fact

everyone has different experiences during their time in high school.. some good, some bad. as for me, i wouldn't complain about mine. it wasn't perfect but if i were ever to go back in time, i would do things exactly the same.. cause all those experiences back then, has shaped me to be who i am today. and i don't regret anything at all.

how was your time in high school like..? was it something memorable or was it something you want to completely forget?

as for those who are still high schoolers, i would only suggest one thing and one thing only.... enjoy it while it lasts! cause you'll never experience anything like it anymore after you graduate.

please bear with me..

i have just finished fixing the blog layout and it might take quite some time until i post again.. so if you have any suggestions or thoughts about the new layout, please leave a comment.. i would love to hear some feedback on it. plus, i have decided to make it super simple this time.. no left or right columns. cause i thought it's kind of nice to just have the content of the blog with nothing else distracting it.

i have missed you

and i hope to get back to you soon.
