Almost 26

It is mid-September and I have not even done my yearly "September is fantastic" post. I hate how time slips by uncontrollably and my favourite month is half over before I can even feel the Septemberness of it. Sadly enough, the lantern festival also whizzed by despite my promise to myself last year that I will carry a lantern and wander around in a silly state of nothing.

I think while my peers are heading in the direction of settledness, my life is in a flux, unraveling a little at its seams, unrestful and eye-baggy. Live it or lump it I guess. My bday wish is to find a "circle of quiet" which seems impossibly difficult here. I like this description by Madeleine L'Engle "My special place is a small brook in a green glade, a circle of quiet from which there is no visible sign of human beings". I think the Isle of Sark (and it's Dark SkyAward) fits the bill!

Sunday again

Crazy past work week and it's Sunday night again sigh. Was quite productive (at the shops) today though - bought alot of Pull & Bear stuff though I have doubts that it's age appropriate - I'm old and some of the pieces are labelled "for teens"! Abit irritated with myself too cos Pull & Bears and Zaras and Bershkas are dime a dozen in Spain and I bought only 2 pieces in all??? Somehow I have no mood to shop when I'm overseas. Partly more interested in walking around and partly deterred by the weight of my backpack haha.

Sharing a layout I did with my grad pic. Finished it sometime back but was waiting to buy a new heat gun after my new one blew due to my stupidity in forgetting to check the voltage. Here's it! I looked young and glowing :(



Embossing the phrase with my heat gun. Super fun! Stamp, Zing and blast it with heat!



Adorable owl stamp from Kikki K! Expanding my owl collection with each trip to Italy :)



Gelato somehow taste better along the Amalfi coast! Ok not very true cos Giolitti in Rome is simply OUT OF THIS WORLD (especially the Nutella flavour).



My fav part - the DIY flags.


A farewell gift for Charm. Taken with iPhone using a Korean app not Instagram. The only reason why I might consider buying an iPhone is Instagram haha.
