mercado negro.


Not sure how comfortable it will be, but I won’t mind having a chair from Target… or a chair made from a Target shopping cart aka trolley.

Mercado Negro is a Spanish word for Black Market.

sugarbuilt.




I would call Sugarbuilt a sugar cult – or at least if I had access to their sugary goodies, I would definitely be addicted in some way or another.

nolan's cheddar.

Please note: It’s not as bad at it seems. Keep watching.

it's been two years.


Today, 2 years ago – my Dad passed away. He never used to talk about his feelings and found other ways to deal with it, but he had a GIANT, BEEEG heart, he was a real softy too.

One thing I got from him – apart from fat and funny-looking toes – giving to other people. It’s just something we do and we can’t stop. I see it as a blessing, it feels good to give. Thanks Wooly!

When I was a little Narry, Dad used to sing this song to me. I never knew the lyrics, except for the “Say Me Say You” part… and of course I thought I was extra special, because I knew a Lionel Richie song.

Listening to it now, I think this was my Dad’s way of talking to me – especially when he didn’t know how to deal with the emotions.

Til this day, I know he walks beside me, telling me “everything will be okay”.

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

I had a dream,
I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing games in the dark
And what they played,
Was a masquerade,
From behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

As we go down life’s lonesome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do
is to find a friend or two
That helping hand,
Someone who understands
when you feel you lost your way
You’ve got someone there to say:
I’ll show you

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

So you think you know the answers,
Oh, no
Well, the whole world’s got you dancing, that’s right, I’m telling you.
It’s time to start believe,
oh yes,
Believe in who you are, you are a shining star.

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

Say it together

lovepot.



The Lovepot is a humidifier which is no bacteria, non-electric, eco-friendly and an aroma releaser. It was designed for the Nanum project that is a charity project to donate all profits to educational scholarships of needy children.

Cute and colorful. Won’t mind having one of these to add a little bit of love and aroma to my office.

slant-ruled notebook.



I like to write all over a piece of paper and most of the time it’s not straight, which is why this notebook has lines that are at a 45 degree angle. Clever huh?

“Good if you have to write in a tight spot, like on an airplane.”

missing water.




Whenever I buy bottled water, I look for the bottle with the most water in it. There is usually one in the back that is almost filled all the way to the top, but these water bottles are missing some water! Approximately 50ml out of every 500ml bottle. The rest is collected and sent to countries that have the little-helped but terrible problem of a lack of clean water.

a4.



If you live in Europe or Africa, you are familiar with “A4″ size paper. How about an A4 size plate? Gimme gimme gimme!

the must stash.





With names like Fancy Mouse-Betty and Handsome Hedgehog-Henry, and accessories like cat-eye glasses, silver chains, vintage buttons, feather headpieces, Run DMC glasses and red bow ties – I’m almost sure you’ll have a winner.

Yesterday, I tried to convince my friend to buy two of these, but I think he was scared that they’ll only add competition when it comes to “who’s the coolest”.

So, who’s brave enough?

25togo.



Saw the pointing finger bookmark at Tina’s (swiss-miss) website. Now ya’ll know how much I love clever designs. Cute and clever.

The designers at 25togo do exactly that – clever design!
