natural rambling

Hi there! How are your days going? There has been a lingering thought bugging me these days and I think it's best to bring it out since it has to do with Yssi. Since I learnt that his TFS contract is to be renewed (whether there is truth to this or not but let's say there is ) I have been taunted by questions and perhaps fear. The entire concept of Natural Story didn't really grab me.. simple white shirt- check, open location on top of a mountain- check, bamboo back drop- check and perhaps the highlight of this which made me screaming was hearing him sing. I think that was the real winner in this campaign. Then there was bed of roses I meant garden of roses and a magic trick which I completely missed. The message was clear beauty, adorable and free but the photos were dreamy and less punchy considering the amount of effort and time the team spent on that shoot. I believe YJ had to fly Down Under for that right?? And as what my next door Bae sis had mentioned; the number of flowers, gifts, suitcases, and the new addition a ring he had handled in each endorsement is getting on a bit . 

Before you send me stormy comments let me just say I am expressing this because I have much concerns for him and would like to see a new TFS campaign with YJ showing us that women aren't the only ones who could put a healthy glow on their skins, learn how a young fresh face is maintained, a theme which shows his passion for the outdoors and would inspire us to do the same-live life in a fun a natural way and please put an advert which would show men out there that masculinity is also a reflection of a healthy skin and body. Whether they listen or not at least it would make them stop and think.

One more thing -less doesn't always mean more but allure and virility can be well and truly projected in a very natural way.

weekend glory

Today the British Summer Time has arrived and we gained an hour. I actually find this weird as I've never known any other country who does this sort of thing. I still get confused but apparently this has been observed  since 1916 through William Willett. He first suggested it in 1907  through a pamphlet called ' The Waste of Daylight.' He thought people slept a lot and wasted Summer mornings so it's best to put the clock forward by an hour and a  lot of things could be accomplished in the afternoons. (summer time we get longer days). It moves back an hour as the Summer Time ends.  Contrary to my belief there are other countries who still move their clocks backwards and forwards such as New Zealand, part of Australia, North of America and most of Canada, European Union countries and some African countries. Whether this still holds true till now in all countries I mentioned, I'm not entirely sure.

The good thing of waking up early to check the clock on the TV box was the chance to watch the Grand Prix which airing time I forgot about. It was a glorious moment for McLaren's Jenson Button and a rather dismal finish to Lewis Hamilton. I would have thought he did a great job on the first part of the race until the engineers brought him in to change tyres but unfortunately the other teams didn't follow suit. It would have been a tidy 1-2 finish but strategy failed him. He ended up in sixth place. For the race highlights please click here.

However the man of the day was Jenson whose rather lovely girlfriend stood by to cheer him up. I admire his affection towards her as he finished the race. I truly wish them both well. Such a lovely couple. My Bae sis from Japan must have heard of her as she's one popular model. Her name is Jessica Michibata..

Love this photo of them together..reminds me of hubby  and me less the fame & status of course  :-)

Over the rainbow

Hi gals!! This afternoon when I decided to finalise the two modules which was really, really long overdue I got distracted by a certain phenomenon. All of a sudden a rainbow appeared before me- not just once but twice on separate occasions.

Like a kid who's about to get some treats I rushed around to get my camera. Unfortunately I haven't got a panoramic lens so I didn't get the whole thing in one frame. What's amazing was I saw both ends of the rainbow.We're talking about 10 houses beneath it. I haven't seen such thing before plus the intensity of the colours were so strong as if they were vibrating like some sort of a force field but with colours. Anyhow I was delighted to see it so here are some of the images I managed to save.

It's unfortunate that there were wirings in the way..not had the chance to remove them (takes a lot of time) :-(

Have a colourful weekend ahead :-)

Welcome Spring

Spring has finally arrived. It's surprisingly mild today and the air is just refreshing. I took the chance to take some photos of spring flowering plants and I was slightly disappointed as they were massively affected by the harsh winter. The Daffodils were struggling this time while the Snowdrops seem underdeveloped but still it's good to see them in most gardens. Better late than never.

Hi! I hope you had a nice weekend. I had spent mine with the family, attended a local function, realized I couldn't handle any more than three glasses of  Malibu and still found some strength for running the next day then decided to finally redecorate the living room. Phew!! Overall it has been a productive couple of  days.

On the Bae front they were some photos of YJ spotted somewhere, sometime ago. I personally would not know what to expect if I see him in person.. However when I saw the photos it reminded me of that photo of him in the book when he was eating in a street corner wearing the same outfit.

and one more thing.. big thanks to Suehan for finding this picture of the WLS Anime.

Have a good week ahead.
