i saw their website a few months ago and didn’t take notice of it until i found their etsy website last week. they have collages and patterns that are so cut and paste, that i would like to try some myself. it’s a great find to pin on the mood board for inspiration.

1. Rachels, Rachels, everywhere, 2. PINK SUSHI WINTER05 LAUNCH, 3. Loyang Point, 4. is the rose naked, 5. I Like Yoo Photo Book, 6. My Little World…, 7. Medhufushi., 8. Green Tea Ice Cream, 9. Renegade Craft Fair – MY GOODIES!, 10. Call of the Raven (formerly Nature’s Special Effects), 11. Uptown gone High Class, 12. The Beauty of a New Day

i saw this on the scoop of orangebeautiful and instantly knew i have to do this one! it’s a very clever idea. the (simple, simple) rules are: Type your answer to each of the following questions into Flickrsearch.  Using only the images that appear on the first page, choose your favorite and copy and paste each of the URL’s into the mosaic maker (3 columns, 4 rows). If you do yours, do drop me a link (; oh and well, i broke the rule, i did not choose every images that appear first on the page because some of them scares me. haha.

1. What is your first name? (rachel)

2. What is your favorite food? (anything with chicken)

3. What high school did you attend? (loyang secondary school)

4. What is your favorite color? (anything pastel)

5. Who is your celebrity crush? (gong yoo)

6. Favorite drink? (ice tea)

7. Dream vacation? (private villa)

8. Favorite dessert? (green tea ice cream)

9. What do you want to be when you grow up? (craft, business online)

10. What do you love most in life? (colors)

11. One word to describe you? (the best answer would be to ask a friend, so i asked mab and she said, “ah-tas” meaning high-class in malay.)

12. Your Flickr name? (don’t have one, but it’d be, couch sleeping beauty)

i went, “so cute!” in office when i was scrolling through the post in design*sponge. well, 1) i need design*sponge everyday! 2) nobody comes in at 9am and even if some do, it’s mostly one hour of gossip before work actually starts at 10am. so my sudden exclamation sounded, very loud.

this trailer delivers gourmet snowcone made from organic, natural ingredients, a business that brings together a combination of the artist’s favorites – travel, food and organic farming. it is inspiring to see how you can live by your interest. always an exciting thought and made possible with a lot of hard work and determination. something to encourage myself. here, read her story.

an email i was sending out to friends and thought it fits right for a post.

it’s a work that i’m still impress with since i was a year 2 kid in republic poly; thought i share. the colors, character design and wit were eye-catching but what really blew me away was the message behind it, political, and then how they show it in this animation. it brought the understanding of making videos a whole new level for me. then we were studying film noir too. enjoy!


and because i’m sending this email, i goggled it and have fallen more in love with it. this has been one short film of awesomeness that cease to fizzle away.
the easiest is to upload the youtube version. but it looks better here.

sally from apartment therapy posted and posted pictures of her mother’s cool blue bedroom and i like what i see. i always thought i’d get a bed that’s really high, when i move in on my own, like you have to climb up to get to your bed; i grew up sleeping in one like that till now. i like how it feels like i’m sleeping in the air and i like to hear how a person falls when i kick them off the bed. (hahaha) so when i saw sally mother’s bed, it makes sleeping near the floor not such a bad idea after all. moreover, her bed’s d.i.y. and they say the Sony clock in her room is at least 20 years old. what a very, very cool mom.
