erm... seriously... i'm going sick...

the whole point of it all is to go green.... save the earth.... consume lesser.... don't use plastic bags.....

so the fairly recent few "bag phenomenons" and "green events" that "marketed" themselves off as promoting and spreading the message on the above mentioned to "everyday-people-consumers" is seriously such a big mother-effing joke, i don't know to laugh or cry...




















why don't you... erm.... "self-proclaimed-fashionistas" get yourself this instead? or maybe maaaaaa-ing like a sheep is what you like to do....then, yeah. okay.

another equally trendy looker would be this, and it guarantees you actually doing something right, while looking it as well.....

i still haven't been able to fathom the whole idea of getting something everyone else already has.... maybe life's easier for the sheep and not for the shephard.... bahhh.....

opening of the re:makeables shop!

she did it! she finally, really did it! :D a hearty congratulations to you, amy!

i might have said it before, well, i'll just say it again ;p very original design!
loved the mustardy version before, and love her new airy-colored version now!

amy specially fine picks good finds from many countries, including japan, for our next crafty endeavors.

i'm off for my mini getaway! weeee....

====================================================================
add-on:
before i fly off to do "nothingness".....

this is an open invite to all you stuff makers out there with your own web shoppe!
the busy shopping holiday season is just round the corner (so soon!?!) and some of the people i like have opened new shops (you know who you are!), some others i've patronised and bought stuff from, some others i've been supporting, and more of whom i'm conversed with!
so! feel most free to send me your business cards, promos, discount coupons, or whatever you have to promote your shop and goodies, and I'll be most happy to include them in all my orders!
you can let me know before you send them off, so i'll know when any mail is missing etc. ;)

happy weekend! xoxoxo!

more than meets the eye!

transformers! ahhh!! mr. michael bay removed the ultra-cheesy tune i soooo love... well, thank gawd they did remove it for this ultra super duper smashing cool movie though. ha! and yes. girly girls aside, this IS the summer blockbuster to see! a must-watch! like.... 5 times over!!!!!! replaying all the scenes that the autobots transform in mid-air and then loudly crash land beautifully to whack the other robot who also then leaps up high into the air and transforms and then.... KEWL! is all we could exclaim. we, being 5 dudes and me, the 1 dudey girl ;p

this is not the same billion-dollar production shiat that has been churned out more often then desired. i could just imagine watching transformers part 11.... it could go on and i wouldn't care. i think.

low-brow good stuff man.... you seriously don't know what you're missing in life if you don't like this.

smurfs, the mask, he-man, g.i. joe, tom & jerry.... yes yes, can you blame me for having such an awesome childhood?? ha! i know, i'm such a contradiction, my love for fairytales, monsters, fairies, robots, gnomes, witches, talking animals, mutated creatures, horror stories, lego, fantasy novels, smurfs.... such a diverse group eh...lol... i still remember playing "house" or "masak-masak" as we call it here in singapore, and i'd add in all these wacko storylines in the midst of "happy family bliss"... how we were suppose to have a "serial-killer neighbor", how suddenly there was an "earthquake" that was caused by the "angry little gnomes" while my cousin was "cooking" halfway, how "our sister" is "dying" in the "hospital", how she has to turn into a "werewolf" because the "operation" had gone awry and then a "dwarf" came along and made things worse by putting a curse on her.... blah blah blah..... (i think i must have really disliked that poor little girl who was play-acting as our sister... haha) nothing was ever peaceful playing house with moi. tsk

p.s. to the few emails i got abt my love for doll-mutilation... i ADORE softies, fluffies and stuffies, i just don't like life-like looking girly dolls. like say... how i'm not terribly crazy about blythes. i don't get them. you dress them up prettily.... and so? why not dress youreslf up prettily? or help that poor friend of yours with not-so-very-nice dress sense? i'd rather play scientist or surgeon and operate on them or something along these lines... much more fun and interesting, me thinks. muahahaha. callie, don't hate me just because i don't play dolly dolls the way you do, okie? cos i still love you. hee...

okay, enough of this childhood-nostalgia nonsense.
