I went with my Mom to Ciwalk the other day and found this super cute ring at Za'bijoux and bought it right away. This really enhances my mood, just to see it around my finger :)
I wonder if people create more rings like this because I love it so much!

This was a typical concrete and stucco facade on the street we pass everyday. But Eric Grohe, a mural painter, was gonna turn this usual wall into an amazing artwork people would gasp when they see it.
[Eric, in his element, 30' off the ground]
He does most of the artwork and researches by himself, paints and designs each project from scratches. His wife, Kathy, is also an artist, serves as project manager.

How cool do you think this appearance compared to the before photo? I'm pretty sure this will make the building an unforgettable one.

This is another project of Eric's, taken on Great American Crossroad, at Bucyrus, Ohio.

This really made the wall something you wouldn't forget, wasn't it?

This is another wall of Eric's art project was formed originally. Wait until you see the finished result.

This called 'Liberty Remembers'. It's pretty amazing that we're looking at a flat 2-D wall, right?

And this is how you should decorate a shopping mall wall. This one is in Niagara, New York.

Isn't it refreshing to see the waterfall just at the side of the street? I think it's such a great idea to bring the natural element to the city.
[the details]
The painter really cared about perspective and shadow. That what makes the painting alive. I'm wondering if I was really there, would I see it as alive as it is in the photo...

Now this one was an original wall in the Miller Brewery hallway at the fermenting room.

The hooks, clipboard and apron were added to the surface to enhance the illusion.

Aren't they something here? I think this artist is really talented!

It had been a while since I hang out with my girl friends and tonight the chance came when Livia invited us to celebrate her 26th birthday at Gokana Teppan, Ciwalk. I arrived there at 7 p.m. sharp after finished my business with my clients the whole day and met the girls: Livia, Irma, Liana, Beatrix, Frieda and 5 more girls whose names I don't really remember.. (I only recognize Vera and Jessica.)
So, we had a nice meal tonight and some chit-chat with old and new girl friends and we said prayer for Livia, let her blow the candles on the cake and had a photo session together. It was nice to meet them all after so long, but I think not too many meetings like this for now.. I need to focus with my family and business cuz friends come last (Dad said so on my 17th birthday card.)
But it was nice, tho.. so thank you, Livia.. wish you all the best!!
I am a car lover and also a fan of design, so I think putting these pics below on my blogpost wouldn't be too much a copy-paster of me. Lol. I just want to share this information with you :)

A famous French shipbuilder and one of Monaco's finest ship company joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: 58 meters long and 38 meters wide.
The yacht has an area of 3400 m2 with seating for 12 passengers and 20 crews. This is a "green" yacht.
Wally et Hermès use green energy to 20 to 30% fuel savings and 40 to 50% electricity consumption on board. Therefore there are 900 m2 equipped with solar panels, producing a daily output of 500 kW.
Equipments:
Three decks, a 25-meters pool, a spa, helicopter pad, a 100m2 room with sauna, gym and massage room, a promenade of 130 meters, a music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, and a lounge. The luxury is at the rendezvous.The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator.
The suite of the owner
With an area of 200m2, the bedroom completely covers the third deck. The sea view is great and there is a private terrace of 25 meters long.
A sea of light
The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a roof so everything is bathed in a sea of light.
The spacious lounge
On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area...
Dining Room
The dining room opens onto the sea view.
Suites for the guests
For the guests, there are 5 suites available with sea views (on the middle deck.) There is also a reading room. How convenient!
I am still cleaning up my room and I see that most of the stuff I treasure are in the form of paper. So to reduce the amount and size of them, I scan most of them by my new Canon scanner and the project goes for days. I scanned birthday cards, Christmas cards, old pics, letters and others from everyone since 1992 and had a fun nostalgia while doing it.
And these, are my favorite ones:

I scanned like, hundreds more of greeting cards I collected from friends, but they are too many to be displayed here so I only put my favorites here while I keep the rest safely on my file document. Thank you friends, for the cards you sent me. Don't worry, I am keeping all of them ;)
