kawaii overload

i found a blog called supercutekawaii.com while checking for kawaii
stuff online. this blog is the ultimate source of everything cute and
adorable. they have wide array of original japanese kawaii things from
dolls, to mugs, accessories and stationery. what makes it more loaded
is the blog followers who are kawaii fanatics themselves. a lot of
them post their own photos of cute stuff in the shoppig alert section.
some of them are photography enthusiasts who posts their own artworks
and cute photos and are part of the flickr group supercutekawaii which
im guessing is associated with the blog. for sure i'll be
visiting this blog more than my own. haha

title says it all

this iphone handbook magazine is what an iphone fanatic should have.
too bad i dont have extra money to buy it today. haha but i browsed
through all the pages and i cant say enough how much stuff you can do
with iphone. the mag features so many cool gadgets and accessories for
it like skins and back up battery kits. it also has reviews and
highlights on the best apps available. steps on unlocking an
iphone???? that's right. they have it there too. :) this magazine is a
must have if you wanna get the most out of your iphone.

street style rules

i had yhe chance to stop by urban outfitters earlier after work. kinda
disappointed coz all clothes i wanted to buy don't fit me. small is
still big. not that im saying im too skinny but i guess it just wasnt
my time to go shopping. but i was more thrilled to see some holga and
diana cameras!!! this store really rocks. i wanted to get the mini
35mm but it wasnt on my budget this time. haha. also found a lot of
other cool stuff... like the diy dunny--a blank, faceless, unclothed
doll that you can create, draw or decorate on to make a  very unique character doll  for yourself:) my stop was great and i intend yo
go back soon to get my mini analog camera.

spoiled cow's spot :)

south pawed copyright

We all heard about the word copyright and the idea of this licensing
scheme, the value of it to all authors, artists etc...but ever heard
of copyleft?! the reason why i got interested on this topic is because
i'm left handed. it doesnt have any connection to it but it just
sparked my interest because it's a play on the word "copyright". haha.
well thee real reason why i came across this is because i want to know
the legalities and repercussions if i copy and paste pictures off of
internet to my personal blog.So i googled it and came upon this term. Im not a lawyer so i just trust my
understanding of what i read online. in the end, i decided i won't take
chances copying pictures especially of professional photographers who
by the way, can really sue you once caught usig their work of art.
about hunting the people who do use them without consent and posted
commercially?!!! it is possible... :( thst gives me a good reason to
take more photos using my own camera. :)

While copyright allows authors to prohibit others from reproducing, adapting or distributing copies fo their works, copyleft on the other hand gives a person who gets a copy of a work permission to reproduce, adapt or distribute work as long as it's uses the same licensing scheme at the end.. The worldwide web definitely became a smaller avenue for me to find pictures that I can post on my blogs but at the same, it gives me a sense of responsibility. I realized how little things could get so complicated by just being ignorant about it. I don't know how many people got caught copying works of others but for sure I know I'll have to be careful.

before the haunting in connecticut sips into my dreams...

though i wasn't able to go to my work's team picnic i still had a
blast spending a lazy weekend with my booboo. :) i'm feeling so much
better and doesn't feel guilty i finished a pint of the chunky monkey
ice cream. tomorrow is another day and i' thqnkful for having a
wonderful time with some wonderful people.

Happy Hour Stop at Ono's Restaurant

tsunami is the bomb!

Tsunami is this dangerous!

It's the first time I've tried this from Ono's restaurant where my friend works and it sure made a big wave on my mouth. :) It's a mix of bananas, milk, granola and boba. With just a tad of sweetness, it keeps me craving for more. Disclaimer: I'm not a paid advertiser of Ono's, or any other products you'll see on my blog. Just raving on how much I love them. haha

10 REASONS WHY I CAN'T GET MY HANDS OFF MY IPHONE:

Before I go on the list, let me tell you that I own the iphone not because I just want to join the bandwagon and hype of  “looking cool” when you got it.

I would say I’ve been on a different clique of bandwagon for 2 years, which is—people who just spent years adoring the phone but never buys it.

Until Apple announced it has slashed 50% off the original price of the latest model back then, the iphone 3g. Right away, I wanted to sign up online for a new contract and get the phone coz I’m getting really jealous coz everyone got the 3g. So I went on to their website and filled out necessary forms. Then, I was taken to the last step which is to click “submit order”… I was that close to getting it!!! But before I did, all of a sudden my very good instinct worked that very minute and told me “don’t get it!!!” So I didn’t. Two weeks after, 3gs came out. ha! Well, one of my cousins kinda hated me for telling her the great news for me and horrible news for her…She got hers a week before Apple cut the prices of the older 3g model. So it’s like, she’s robbed twice. I felt sorry for her. (ara you know I do! J) But technology is always evolving like there’s no tomorrow. So it’s very understandable things like these happen.

So  back to the 10 reasons why this phone setting the bar way up there for me.
