BE INSPIRED: IF WE HAD COLLEGE LIBRARIES LIKE THESE, I WOULD'VE STUDIED MORE.

For some odd reason this reminds me of the Midas Hotel lobby.

The Benecke Rare book and manuscript library: Yale University , New Haven CT   

Central Library: University of Technology; Delft, Netherlands

Codrington Library: All Souls College; Oxford, UK

(Jaw drop) George Peabody Library: John Hopkins University; Baltimore, MD

In awe at this modern multi-level set up. 

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Zentrum Library: Humboldt University; Berlin, Germany 

From the exterior it can be mistaken for a stadium.

Come to think of it, its very energy efficient. Joe and Rika Mansueto Library: University of Chicago; IL 

(Goosebumps) Old library: St. John's College Cambridge University; Cambridge, UK

Retro yet modern feel to it.

Spherical is the new rectangle. Phililogical Library of the Free University; Berlin, Germany

Gothic yet modern. Perfect mesh of old meets new.

Truly a perfect loft-like, multi-level solace for reading. If i were to have a library at home this would be it.

There's nothing more inspiring than 
something new and something old.





Sometimes all you need is a change in perspective.

HAPPY FEET

N and I prior to all the dancing shenanigans

Father says he cant busta move

Moves like J from the block

R's Happy Feet highlight of the night

I must admit his body rock dance (alone on the dance floor I must say) is admirable

The night is capped off by some jeje moves of course

It started out as a slow, steady night til

we hear our Kiri Crowd anthem Party Rock.

Great friends, great sounds and

great dance moves! 

Everyday I'm cuffling..... toootootooooot...

I love Saturday Slurrrr!

WISHLIST

Currently nursing an injured ankle and i have

resorted to flip-flop footwear.

I miss wearing shoes! 

Heels are lovely to look at and make you feel empowered

in some sense.  Although nothing beats 

nice, easy-to-wear flats.

Currently giddy just by looking at this pair!

The ever-comfy bedroom slippers-ish with some spunk!

I bet no one will try to step on your feet when wearing these babies!

"I WISH YOU WELL"..SOMEDAY.

Ex:    Hi, how have you been?

You:  Peachy without you. (end of convo. Char!) For the longest time I was     

        consumed with rage because of how things ended.  Tormented sequential 

          replays of signs when you started feeling differently towards me.  Though 

        I may still not fully understand why, I have come to accept it.     

        We haven't talked in awhile and this may come as a surprise to you.    

        Just wanted to tell you that I know you're overwhelmingly happy and 

        that I'm happy for you. You deserve someone who treats you equally 

        loved. For a long time I couldn't understand but God has a way of 

        paving things for His plans. 

(cue in: long pause)

        Maybe we were wrong all this time about each other, maybe we were 

        each other's way of finding the one (if there's such a thing). Atleast 

        we broadened our horizons and saw the greater scheme of things. Years 

        are too long to just disregard. I learned a lot and gained a friend, one of 

        the best I might say. Whatever hurtful words I might have said was 

        brought about uncontrolled emotions. We know each other well enough 

        to call each other friends.I know or hope I can still hold your word on 

        that. We may have not been right for each other but we're right for 

        someone we deserve. Keep safe.

Ex:    ah..eh..k k..

This is purely a hypothetical convo. 

There are some things better left unsaid.

UNICORN THEORY

The infamous Unicorn. (Note: Thanks J. Fizzle for this!)

Relationships are a matter of trial and error.
More often than not we like to see the
good in people and we fall victims to our own optimism.
The well-played "good guy card" is the common trap.
Guys who will give you romance, fireworks and treat you
like a freakin' lady are just mythical creatures.
A fire breathing dragon, a flying pig,
a unicorn.
Maybe they exist. Maybe I just haven't found mine. Maybe unicorns are just rhinos that got fat. Maybe they're there all along. Maybe there are just too many maybe's.



 Eternal optimist. Perpetual pessimist.
Find a middle ground.

R: Add ako P500 pag may sabunot

An in-depth look into what really occurs during girl talk. 

My girlfriends are insane.
