perfection.
i just cannot not share this video! the cinematography and ALL of the clothes used were just too perfect and it'll be such a shame if it'll not be shared over and over and over again. since it's february and valentine's day is just two days away, this short film couldn't be more of a perfect timing, yes?

i dream to be an expat
below are places i currently dream to move and live into. i haven't been to any of the places before, i just made assumptions of what it'll look and feel like when one's actually living in it through the articles i've read or movies and photos i've seen. (i'm solely responsible for my assumptions/feelings and for the words i used) so pardon me or just stop reading if you find my words offensive/condescending.
LONDON or anywhere in the UK
(england, scotland, wales, northern ireland)
(england, scotland, wales, northern ireland)
because i heard a lot of great, awesome, stupendous, struggling artists play gigs there for free. loljk. it's one of the reasons though, aside from the fact that i can't resist loving gloomy weather and an 'urban but with a country feel' kind of place. just walking on the sidewalks, after work or on a weekend, passing by bookstores, coffee shops or any interesting shops/parks/views would be enough to complete my day. i don't think i'll ever need any specs when i turn 60 yrs old or older, they're like food for my eyes.. and soul perhaps, but i'll definitely need hearing aids after years of listening to great, awesome, stupendous songs by great, awesome, stupendous, struggling artists.
SYDNEY/MELBOURNE/PERTH/BRISBANE
because.. it's australia! ha! it's a place i consider peaceful and conducive to living. i find it homey and i don't know why or maybe because i'm a self-proclaimed wanderluster: i'm in love with places i've never been to and people i've never met-- a phrase that would summarize this whole blog post.
NYC
like i don't mind getting lost or walking everyday as long as i'll be seeing a stuyvesant street, manhattan kind of setting. stumbling upon a park or two along the way wouldn't hurt especially if we're talking about THE grand central park. a few months or a year living in nyc would be fine, but a lifetime? i don't know. it's just that the city's too fast paced imho.
CHICAGO
because of the urban with a country feel, again. i'm not really sure why, but for me, it's like london and nyc combined. and yes, cloud gate's a plus point.
LOS ANGELES
i also heard they have awesome music festivals there. (haha i'm not kiddin.) seriously, i kinda love the LA neighborhood. i'm not specifically talking about the rich and famous neighborhood, the normal and peaceful type would be enough as long as i get to walk around LA everyday beneath those palm trees which leads me to.. yup, the sunsets. i also love the setting of the movie 500 days of summer. if you've forgotten what it looks like, maybe you could, like watch it again? it'll be worth it. levitt's in the movie, duh. as well as the adorbs dechannel (sans the dumping levitt part.)
even though there are a lot of places i love (i saved it for my next post), e.g. Paris, it just didn't strike me as a place for working and living. i find Paris a great place for vacation only.. not unless i find a job that's totally Paris-befitting (eg. a baker for french macarons or a part of Vogue Paris, attend fashion shows or events and write articles about it and whatnot. HA!) you know i'm kidding, right? i may be chatty at times in my posts, but writing. is. not. really. my. thing. i rather show it through photographs even though photography's not my forte either. it's just that, pressing the shutter button's much easier than arranging my thoughts and putting them into words.
i digress, if you feel i'm prejudicial to the places i've mentioned above, you're always welcome to comment below and share your thoughts. maybe it'll even benefit me-- i'll get to read opinions/facts i haven't known before.
PS. i don't hate my country or trying to forget where i came from. i just want a new environment where i'm not accustomed to or where i can learn a lot of new stuff, enjoy and grow up. (dream on, adele! haha!)

move vs europe
move. pronto.
this video is another version of the video i posted before in my old blog. this is also a hint to what i think i'll be obsessed this month. in other words, i've already made posts that are waiting to be published and ideas that are waiting to be put into actions. wait, did you just think i've been really a lazy bum for the past few weeks? well, you're wrong! unless you count facing my laptop/mobile almost everyday to look for inspirations for my boring couch potato-life or broaden my knowledge in the form of surfing the internet as lazy, then i plead guilty. pardon me.

the lover of life
photos: simplechaoticlife.
life is her playground.
if passion has a name, i think the name that would perfectly fit would be Nikky, the girl behind simplechaoticlife. i've been wanting to make a post about her blog for quite sometime already, since her old blog days (to be clearer), but i was a little too late becuase she already deleted it.
just a few months ago, right after the fashion show that Yenny (Nikky's sister) invited us to, i asked why Nikky deleted her blog when in fact, it's too cool/inspiring and one of the blogs i look forward to read. Yenny replied that her sister made a new blog and so i asked for the link. since then, i've been looking forward to her posts.. again.
if the title of this post still didn't enlighten you to what i'm trying to tell you since the very first sentence, let me say it in other words: the girl is bonkers for life! her passion for her family, for living, traveling, food, art, music, discovering and learning new things, and taking risks awed me and her writing never ceases to amuse me. she's got the talent in writing that makes you feel you're with her in every adventure she posted on her blog. she's also one of the few people who taught/inspired me (through her words) to be grateful to whatever you have and be a lover of life as well.
btw, she lived in Paris before but now she's already staying in Barcelona. good news to all those who loves Paris as much as i do and to the other wanderlusters out there: she still writes about Paris in her new blog as much as she writes about the many places she'd been to. and what's more inspiring about her is that, despite everything she accomplished/done, she stayed grounded. you may wonder why i can say these kinds of things even though i don't know her personally, but let me just tell you, try reading the words she'd thoughtfully used in her blog, you'll never think otherwise. and i guess it runs in their family because her sister is one of the humblest people i've encountered in my 20 years of existence.
just a piece of advice, follow Nikky through her blog (i'm not saying be the stalker type!!) because you'll be doing yourself a favor. you'll learn a thing or two.. or even more! :)
i think i should probably shut up now and let you wander in her blog, yes?
“the world's a big place. you can't do or be everything, nor should you. life is bigger than any one man. but when you read about other people's lives, when you read their stories, you catch a glimpse of a world bigger than your own. you may never travel a hundred miles from where you were born, but if you read stories, you'll get to see the entire world.”

pursuit of real happiness
photos: tumblr
someday, i'll find it.
these past few months, i've been doing nothing productive. not if you count eating, listening to a lot of music, watching movies, downloading more music, surfing the net, looking for inspiration in everything i touch, hear or see, tweeting, reading books, going out with my family during the weekends and sleeping. ohh, you think it's a bit too much to occupy my time, but you're wrong. i still have those boring, idle, depressing moments where i just don't know what to do but stare at the ceiling.. and think about random stuff. i'm not referring to stuff like killing other people or myself! just the normal thoughts that normal people usually think when they know they have all the time in their hands.
fast forward before i make this post into a book, i've been thinking about my future. (surprise, surprise!) yes, i'm not really crazy or that carefree not to think about my life. well, i haven't really decided much about looking for a job since my parents don't think i should be looking for one yet. but right at this very day, at this very moment, there's one job i'd jump right into if ever it'll be offered in front of my face: attend gigs/concerts/music festivals all over the world! thinking about my interests (music, travelling, fashion and photography), i think it'll perfectly fit to be called MY DREAM JOB, if there's even a job like that one. *sigh*
though i think that job is closer to impossible, but if you ever hear someone who offers that kind of job, do contact me.. please. hahaha! my blog's name wouldn't be what it is now if i didn't mostly dream the impossible. right! actually i've been spending quite a lot of time for some time already stalking artists/bands all over the net just to prep myself in seeing them play live anytime soon! loljk. nah, it's just my way of pursuing my happiness at the moment (by just watching/listening over the net.)
updated: a good friend of mine, Remar, just shared an article with me: World's Happiest Countries. since i find it inspiring, i might as well share it on my blog. to all the other wanderlusters out there, this will be food for your eyes, heart and soul-- indulge!
