My birthday is exactly two weeks from today. I recently read that 33 is supposed to be one’s happiest year, at least it was for 70% of that survey’s respondents. I’m not sure I can look back at the last year as my happiest. But now I feel tremendous pressure to make sure that the next 14 days will confirm that little statistic. Either way, I guess it can only be a good thing to make sure I enjoy the next two weeks. Here we go.

“Tonight, Tonight” cover by Passion Pit. Pure awesomeness. They’re in Singapore on August 21. Not missing that one.

I got these Nike Gladiators in 2009. That was already four years into my Nike job and many pairs deep but I think these were the gems that got me hooked on hunting for shoe treasures. And now there’s no turning back.

Two years ago today I flew to Rome. My first meal: parma ham and mozzarella panini. As they say, when in Rome…
I also drank espresso every day by the coffee bar in a rush like the commuting Romans.
I hope I can go back some day soon.

Mac n Cheese makes my list of top ten favorite dishes. This is my grown up version of Gruyere, Parmesan, Gouda and Truffle Oil. When Lent is over I will also top with bacon. Best with a glass of Pinotage and Lola Elsie’s garlic bread.

Death Cab For Cutie

—Transatlanticism

Death Cab For Cutie played ‘Transatlanticism’ last for their Manila show last night. It was the perfect ending. Ben Gibbard sang it so beautifully and I wouldn’t be surprised if it brought many there to tears.

I need you so much closer…

Awesome cover. Even if this song makes me sad.

Just discovered stylist Leandra Medine and her blog www.manrepeller.com through a friend. So far so good. I think I want to go shopping now for some new clothes. Uh-oh.
