Paris vs New York Book

So I shared this Paris vs New York posting last year. Today, a reliable source announced that the designer, Vahram Muratyan came out with a book this week! 

Must have list? Ah, why is that even a question?

Check his website here  for more lovely artwork- my other idea of eye candy ;)

Welcoming February

Well hello the most romantic month of the year... No offense but I think February does not sound as romantic as September to me (this, I also have no idea why). 

Oh, well... I think I will just have to fit in ;) 


Kisses,
Not a Val's day believer but loving all designs related to it.

Awesome Monday: Charlie Chaplin and Mahatma Gandhi

Welcome Monday! I bet you can easily tell who these people are in our Awesome Monday picture post. Interesting random facts about them; Mahatma Gandhi spoke English with an Irish accent, for one of his first teachers was an Irishman. Can you imagine? 

And, Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look alike contest and did not make it. Ha! ( source: one of my all time fave light reading You are One Third Daffodil )

This is the last Monday in the month of January 2012 and today, I have to do one of the toughest thing for the first time this year. This year, I repeat. I have done some major, life altering, heart breaking decisions before ;).  

Wish me luck. To become a character so great that you can change the world is never possible if you are not willing to do the very first step of changing your life. And I am about to do so.

And allow me to add that whatever it is  that I am doing in life is just a part of God's plan. To Him be the glory, man shall not boast. 

(Today is  the anniversary of Gandhi's death 30 January 1948 (aged 78) New Delhi, Dominion of India)

Awesome Monday is inspired from this tumblr .

So shoe me!

Ah... sweet assurance :)

From Saying Images

Manis Kau Dengar

It is one of those days when one particular song keeps playing in my head. This time, an Indonesian Gospel song :). My Dad used to play this record in the car on our home-work-home commute.

"Ya Tuhanku, aku hendak bernyanyi bagimu selama ku hidup/ Yah Allahku, aku hendak bermazmur bagimu selagi ku ada/ Inilah yg kurenungkan, setiap waktu/ Nyanyian pujian dan pengagungan kepadaMu/ Biarlah manis Kau dengar Tuhan, manis kau dengar Tuhan/ Dan hatiku bersuka karnaMu"

Manis Kau Dengar- is written by Welyar Kauntu, inspired from this bible verse, which will give you an insight of what the song is about : Psalm 104: 33-34 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD. 

The video is from a Gospel concert held in Jakarta, sometime in 2004.  I was there!

Inspiration Sunday: Juno and Lucas

My family once rescued a stray dog from a slaughter house. Snowy (my sister Maharani gave him that name) , was the most protective and loyal dog we ever owned despite the fact that he was not a guard dog breed. He was more alert, fearless and aggressive than a German shepherd to strangers and  gave us a secure feeling more than ever. He died 6 years ago.

From that moment on, we always believe that a rescued dog sense's give them an idea of a second chance in life, a force that lead them to be very attached to the rescuers.

This story below will tell you more about it. Prepare to shed tears. I just did :)

Juno, a Belgian Malinois  was rescued from a shelter by Chester and Jennifer ( a fine parents of Lucas- a 4 y/o boy suffers from Sanfilippo syndrome) just days before Juno was to be euthanized. 
But since coming to live with her family in Alcoa, Tenn., Juno has taken on the role of rescuer to Lucas Hembree instead, through a very special bond only the two can understand ... read more
