Coloring my life

 Lately all we hear is the news about the flood.

Some parts of Thailand are now effected and suffering a massive flooding. Luckily, Bangkok my hometown is still safe, and my work place too. Fingers crossed for Thailand. I hope the sun comes out and shine on us soon!

Despite the flooding crisis, I've been trying to color my life up with something inspiring.

Movies, music, books,and of course, my latest toy iPad2!

I'm not sure if I can call it "mine" because it's mom who bought it but since she rarely uses it, she just handed it to me and said"You go play with it".
Ha! Thank you mom!!
This might sound absolutely ridiculous but I was happy not because of the iPad, but because I got to buy it a sleeve!! I've always wanted to buy Kate Spade's iPad sleeve to match my Macbook Pro one. A bit sad that the price was the same as Macbook's. Well, never mind! I'm too overjoyed to argue!

The"All typed up" sleeve series. They are just so lovely together!

I'm enjoying reading online magazines, watching fashion shows, playing piano and drawing, things my iPhone are obviously too small for!

                                   

Here are some of my drawings inspired by Disney's Alice, Bamby and Snowwhite. They are all painted by my finger tips via whiteboard application.  So much fun I sometimes do it non-stop 'til late at night. Now I can draw birthday cards and stuff for my friends. iPad really is coloring my life!!

Apart from the sleeves, here are my recent Kate Spade purchase.

If you have read my earlier entry of me whining about this twirl necklace I couldn't get in time from the US website, here it is, I finally got it from Nagoya, Japan, by my very kind senior who used to study in Tohoku University with me. It's my daily wear now :)

 

Arriving from the US eventually,the "Moon River" pearl necklace. Breakfast at Tiffany's anyone? ;)

"The signature spade" ring in size 6, the smallest. 

And I've got one more piece to come from Japan, the limited edition brand special box with tote bag and 4 mini books inside. Can't wait :) Come to mommy!!

Besides shopping and iPad, a couple of weeks ago I went for the movie "Friends with benefits" with the least expectations, thinking it would  be just another romantic comedy junk. To my surprise, it was very entertaining! And believe me I don't say this often 'cause I'm very very hard to please when it comes to movies! More than anything, the soundtrack captured my attention. I downloaded it right away that evening, and it was another delightful album! My favorite at the moment.

If I have to name 3 favorite tracks ( which is very hard because all of them are amazing in its own way), I would pick...

1. Booty call : G.love and special sauce 

Why? Because it wraps up the whole movie in just one song! I mean, the producer must have made this movie out of this song,no doubt. If you have seen it, you would understand what I'm talking about!

2. Tightrope: Janelle Monae

My god this talented young R&B artist really knows how to sing! This has been my favorite track of her album "Archandroid" and it sounds alive again in this collection of soundtrack. No songs can make me feel like dancing right in my office more than this one does! Make sure to see how she moves in the MV!

3. Pumped up kicks: Foster The people

This number from the band who are currently the talk of the town, is not included in the album, but is in the bonus track list. The song is totally adorable, with the British indie pop sound, (they are from LA though), catchy bass lines and the whistling! I'm checking out their debut album next time I go to the CD shop!

Wow this is a long engtry but I'm really happy writing it :)
If anyone has any iPad applications to recommend or any opinions about the soundtrack, feel free to leave your comments, I'd be very glad to hear from you.

Have a lovely week and live color-fully!
