Is Burberry Throwing Up on You?

Is Burberry Throwing Up on You?

I let the pictures speak for themselves.

My Contemplation of Being Older (3)

Post script 5 December: This thread was written under the influence of at least a bottle of champagne and a bottle of Barolo. I just read it again today and have found so many errors and mistakes. I think it is a perfect sign of aging, the uncoordinated between brain and fingers, and eyes and [...]

Foot Notes

Head note (what do you call a note before footnote?): this post is about, what else, feet. And shoes. Again. Prepare to be bored to death. Last weekend was a busy one. Woke up really early – 4.30 AM to be exact – last Friday to get ready, mostly to sit down and pull myself [...]

The End of An Era (?)

The End of An Era (?)

It’s official. Bugils Jakarta (I can never know the right spell. Is it Bugil’s or Bugils? BuGils or BuGil’s?) will hold their very last party in December 13th. We have heard the rumour about Bugils closing down forever, but this time it is for real. It should be official, because the bar throws the countdown [...]

Something Scottish For Today

You might not realise that Donald Trump is half Scottish. But it is the only reason why he insists on building the golf resort in Scotland, surrounding his mansion (which is called ‘The Donald’ by his ex wife Ivanka) in Balmedie, north of Aberdeen. Trump was reportedly considered more than 200 sites in Europe before [...]

Thinking About Buying Burberry?

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 [...]

Bart and 'Sweet Home Obama' Go International

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 [...]

5 Things I Hate About Me

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 [...]

Thinking About Dating A British?

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. [...]

Let's Talk About Breasts

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 [...]
