day dreaming

hi again!

couldn't stay away for long!

another story,

get excited :)

whenever i come home from a long day

or even when i'm on the train

headed home

i always take time to press play

and relax while listening to some tunes

occasionally, i listen to a podcast

called Chilled.

it sounds exactly as its name suggests,

perfect tunes to sit back and ...well "chill"

i instantly begin to day dream

it has become an instinct

i love daydreaming in general,

& my daydreams vary according to song

for some tunes,

my mind wanders to my professional aspirations
but every time i listen to chilled,
my mind instantly day dreams about coming home

to a loft with a very specific bedroom

i don't know why

but i always envisioned this bedroom

to have a cold, modernly simplistic design,

but at the same time, to boast much comfort

this morning i made my blog rounds

catching up on so much inspiration

from so many wonderful blogs

& as i came across, Hands that Make,

i read a lovely post

but this was no regular post,

it featured a picture (the above) of a bedroom

but not just any bedroom

a bedroom that practically mirrors

the one i've day dreamed about

being the uncreative person that i am,

i stood no chance of placing what was in my daydreams

on paper

but luckily, remodelista featured it.

so so so wonderful,
i think modernly quaint is how i would describe it

finally,

i highly recommend Hands that Make,
lovely blog

&

chilled podcast,

which you can find on iTunes

lots of love and flirty winks ;)

flickr finds

i've joined flickr
and i've been browsing
instead of studying
shhh!

really enjoyed mogo!'s set

the designs are so refreshing
&
the colours are simply wonderful

i could stare at the photos all day
but
studying isn't going to do itself

in other news,
i've been trying to set up a music player
on the posts
i've encountered two problems:

1. i can't find one that is aesthetically suitable
2. installing them requires brainpower, all of which
if currently used by studying

but je vous promesse
that soon enough
a pretty and functional
player will release
wonderful tunes

they really are too good to keep to myself ;)

love,

Aussi loin que je m'en souvienne j'ai toujours aimé des boutons
les petits boutons les grands boutons

sometimes
the buttons on a dress
the buttons on a blouse
the buttons on a hat
were enough reason
to prompt me
to grab and purchase

i also like the expression
"you make me lose my buttons"
which is also a lyric
by the band interpol <3

video here!

hope your monday is full of things you love,

i've been bopping along to this tune
for a while now

the song is so soft
the video is brilliant

she pays for the bread
and she goes...
nobody knows

recently i've been studying
all day
and all night :@

reviewing in the train
the bus
the subway

reviewing while pouring the first cup of coffee
repeating while pouring the second
considering dropping out while pouring the third

music breaks have kept me sane
in particular, i love pressing play
and hearing MGMT

being the music snob that i am
i will recommend some non-mainstream tracks
but those are great too

"boogie down"
"destrokk"

you know you wanna check out my components
