I have been thinking hard to write something that is mentally, morally, or spiritually challenged, but world peace articles wouldn’t attract visitors as much as boobs threads (and those who know me know that I’m an attention and traffic seeker), and as an architect-slash-project manager I don’t think I am capable to adopt a patronizing [...]

Following Tree and my late night chat we came up with boobs post which inspired Tree to tag others (see Tree’s extensive list of ‘infected bloggers’ here) as part of his world domination plan. Those who were tagged cannot help but post something about boobs. Those who weren’t tagged silently took part anyway - too [...]

Whenever you hear about Mac(k)intosh, you instantly think about personal computer or notebook designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. But it is Macintosh - without K.
I am talking about Mackintosh. Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Those who are in architecture or product design, or have a slight interest in interior design, or maybe just chair in particular, [...]

It’s been pretty quiet since London girls’ trip. The taste of purple martini at the Purple Bar still lingers (too expensive, that is. One glass cost me £17.00 (Rp 350,000). It’s good, but I find it hard to justify the price), and there’s a talk about repeating it in Dubai or Ascot. Maybe Ascot, I [...]

Bartele Santema is in his element. I can imagine him sitting down in a dressing room, powdered-face, maybe a little bit of lip gloss and mascara to enhance his features, a stack of stroopwafels on the table, a glass of beer in one hand, practicing his lines, trying to remember all of his six bars [...]

I just got back from my London trip and have not had a chance to blogwalking until today, and I found out that I am tagged by Rima to reveal the 10 Things I hate about myself. So far I’ve got 5 London-related things and I’d post them now, and the rest of the 5 [...]

The new fireplace was just installed and I’ve been playing with the fire since. The flame is bright orange inside the stainless steel frame, makes the room warm and cozy. It’s wild outside, the trees are dancing and the leaves are struggling to glue themselves to the branches. It is only 13 degrees but everybody [...]

JUST as some women date only prison inmates, so there are those who yearn above all for Englishmen, with their exotic customs and their reputation for making even banal remarks sound like brilliant repartee. For example my friend D* who has dated men from all over the world and now focuses on finding a Mr. [...]

It started with late night discussions with Treespotter, although I don’t remember how we came up with the idea because usually we talk about politics, poverty, or world peace. All I remember is we have to post one entry together at the same time, and we agree to post something about breasts, but we haven’t [...]

Less than two weeks and I’m off to London for girl’s weekend trip. This would be an interesting meet-up because I only know Nikki who’s originally from here but now resides in Assen, and will be meeting others from Assen and one from Oman! So we could call it an international girl’s trip with jam-packed [...]

I just got my new pair of eyeglasses. The old one has been with me for about 5 years: the lenses’ protective coating has been peeled off, the Gucci logo on the right side is missing, but so far I didn’t feel that I had to change my glasses since I’m wearing contact lenses more [...]

Today has been a very busy day. And although I was able to read most emails through my iphone, I couldn’t check my blog(s) until 10 PM tonight. By the time I opened this blog, I had lots of comments to responds to. And since Monday is my ‘major blogwalking’ day, which means I visit [...]

I haven’t written about Scottish food for a quite long time. Not because I am sulking when some blogger alluded me as blog traffic seeker by posting unworthy thread like food, but because I haven’t tried something new for a long time.
But since the weather is wild outside, and it’s the first time we have [...]
