http://notestonowhere.blogspot.com/2009/08/too-long.html

Novel (and not so novel) notions notes to nowhere. Musings and missives as well as tips and thoughts on children,parenting,work,marriage, writing,publishing,books,magazines, music,movies,literature,friendship, travel,love, family,the world - compromising.and yet somehow having it all. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. All the while, the thinking of it is taking place. It is exciting, but it raises the question, at what point is the thinking enough and when can the writing begin? It's important to focus, but I pe...

House on the Beach: January 2011

http://welcometotarasnewhouse.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

House on the Beach. A new lease on bliss :). Saturday, January 29, 2011. There's a scene in Anthony Minghella's visually exquisite "The English Patient", based on Michael Ondaatje's book of the same title, that I can't forget. Someone says, raising a glass. And in the darkness, their faces glowing by the light of the campfire, the rest echo him, "To map-making! And raise their glasses as well. Instead of a desert we will be in the cool confines of a coffee shop in Burgos Circle, The Fort. And instead...

the seamstress in me | Homebound

https://verlash.wordpress.com/2010/05/16/the-seamstress-in-me

What we make it, where we make it. The seamstress in me. A few weeks back, I got caught up with a hand-sewing project. I’ve had this black and white paisley-ish fabric, which I bought from Daiso in Singapore, and leftover black fabric. I’ve been thinking for sometime already of something that would put them into good use, until one day I was struck with this idea of making my own apron. Our window was decked out in super cheap but cute curtains. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I began scouring the Inter...

Verão, my tribute to the endless summer: The Straw Trilby Hat

http://veraoswim.blogspot.com/2011/01/straw-trilby-hat.html

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Jan 23, 2011. The Straw Trilby Hat. Photo credit: J. Crew. Perfect to keep you a tad cooler when you're under the sun! I got myself a Trilby hat just this afternoon. I always thought it was a Fedora, but apparently, the brim of a trilby is much narrower than that of a fedora. In the past year or 2, I have seen people wearing more hats, even in places where hat wearing really isn't the norm. The straw trilby hat would be a great companion for my crochet bikinis! I love anything Haw...

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Apr 11, 2010. Quick Summer Make Up. The perfect no make-up make-up summer look! This video I shot on a mini vacation to Palawan which my sisters gifted me with.

Verão, my tribute to the endless summer: The Pink Wardrobe

http://veraoswim.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-pink-wardrobe.html

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Sep 20, 2012. I love the beehive shelf! I wonder what all the stories behind each piece of furniture is? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I love summer. The smell of coconut oil on skin, the taste of chilled Mango shake on your sun-kissed lips, the sound of the waves gently crashing on the shore. Everything about the season just makes me smile. I always looked forward to every beach trip come summertime, and each time I would have a special swimsuit to celebrate the season.

Verão, my tribute to the endless summer: Ahi Poke

http://veraoswim.blogspot.com/2012/09/ahi-poke.html

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Sep 25, 2012. I was milling around The Grand Indonesia mall here in Jakarta when I saw a sushi place called Poké Sushi. I was immediately attracted to it because I love poké. So I ordered at the counter, and they told me I would receive it in about 15 minutes. I didn't mind the wait. I had some Iced Green tea while waiting. The 15 minutes was up, and lo and behold. My Ahi Poké. I wasn't really disappointed because I was really craving for raw fish. But having tasted poké. I love a...

Verão, my tribute to the endless summer: February 2011

http://veraoswim.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Feb 27, 2011. Even if I create crochet bikinis, I am not a fashionista. I do believe though that I have my own style- relaxed and casual. I don't even like designer bags because everyone I know has them! I just never run after the latest fads. However, I do have these moments when something stylish and fashionable strikes me as inspiration. Like designer Trina Turk. I love her style. Casual Chic, up a notch. This photo, taken from the Trina Turk. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My lov...

Verão, my tribute to the endless summer: August 2009

http://veraoswim.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

The Laziest Diet. EVER! Aug 22, 2009. Pat's Luau Potato Salad. This dish is simply perfect for hot summer days! I always joke that it was this recipe that made me accept my husband's proposal. He visited our family one Christmas and then volunteered to make potato salad for Christmas Dinner. It has been a staple in all family reunions ever since. I call it the Heavenly Potato Salad, but being his usual humble self, Pat decided to simply call it Luau Potato Salad. Starring, Pat the hubby! Aug 17, 2009.
