Vagabondage - state of being a vagabond, wandering, vagrancy

By the time you're reading this, I'm sitting in the plane.. On my way to Hong Kong!

Do wish us (there are 8 just us, girls!) a safe flight and an even safer trip since we will be wandering all by ourselves in the pulsing city of Hong Kong. Despite my lack of enthusiasm, I am determined to have a good time. Have a splendid day, all!

I am reading Jon Krakauer, Into The Wild e-book for the long transit to keep me occupied. So here's a quote for you.. Well more like half a paragraph, but it's a good one, I promise you!

"The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word, an epic journey that would change everything. He had spent the previous four years, as he saw it, preparing to fulfill an absurd and onerous duty: to graduate from college. At long last he was unencumbered, emancipated from the stifling world of his parents and peers, a world of abstraction and security and material excess, a world in he felt grievously cut off from the raw throb of existence." - Jon Krakauer, Into The Wild.

 I guess I've been watching too many Gossip Girl than I can dare to mention.. Hence, the very witty title! Quite proud of it actually. Wore this incredibly eye-catching, colorful, rather sporty outfit last Monday for a lunch date with sis and then running some errands. Anyway, can't help but feeling like a walking sorbet with the pastels and that's just the way I like it.  I'm off to pack for my HongKong trip this Wednesday.. Also.. Planned to take outfit pics around the house for a scheduled post while I'm away. Happy Sunday, all!

Went to The Fabrik two days ago. Decided to give a break to my floral tops and shorts and opt for a plain pastel shades of top and shorts. Couldn't help but to throw in my Nikicio floral blazer tho!

 The place has this retro vibe and sort of reminded me of pubs in London. Maybe that's just me. The food and cakes are actually pretty good too. Overall, a return visit is a must! And look who was our guest star, Anita from Anita Putri. She's just a ball of fun :)

Just.. That's how I've been feeling lately. Slightly drained. Slightly annoyed. Overused perhaps. Just lacking of enthusiasm. Fading just a little bit. Dimming for a while, I guess.. My poor jaded self.. I'm not even sure what I've been doing. Really, I have enough sleep, enough food, maybe not enough soul-enrichtment.. I guess, I've been spending way too many hours with my Sims which is not exactly a great way to supplement my most-likely-almost-dry heart.

Would like to take this opportunity to send my many thank you for everyone who commented on my dog's death. Thank you so much for your uplifting comments. Truly, I'm blessed to have such kind blogging friends! <3

Sunday Music : Jaded by Aerosmith

In all it's misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side we're thinking of
We'll slip into the velvet glove and be jaded


Yes, don't look so shocked. I actually love (not-too-rock) rock songs. I've been a fan of Daughtry for quite some time. And I have over abused my U218Singles CD.

Anyway, I hope I didn't bring you into such melancholic mood as well! I'm still my old silly self although not as silly as I normally do. I'm sure it's just another phase..
Happy Sunday and have a blessed one :)

Met the sweetest Anita from Anita Putri and she is just a tiniest singing machine that is full of charms. It feels surreal to finally met someone you've been interacting in the virtual world but it was fun and I'm looking forward for more and more blogger meet up!

Strangely enough, we wore floral item in our outfit. Guess our summer instinct is up and running..

I haven't officially welcome June. So here it is : Welcome, June. I hope you bring us a lot of jubilee.

This amazing ring-bracelet is from Diva. It was love at first sight.

Okay, I got COUNTLESS of praises for my Doco's 3rd Book Pad cover. It landed in my hand the day my dog died. And yes, it did bring me to my second smile that day. Right after my grandma complaining something that I don't dare to write since it's PG 13. 

My Doco 2nd Book Pad cover seems so humble compare to this magnificent thing. No exaggerating here. It just feels so luxurious and I always feel eyes staring every time I open my iPad. It also feels a lot sturdier and provides more safety for your iPad. 

If you don't own any iPad or iPod or iTouch, worry not, Doco also has gorgeous pouches for your blackberry. My favorite is obviously, lace fuchsia in Scarlet. Well honestly, all colors seem perfect to welcome summer! Doco also provides covers for your precious Galaxy Tabs. So if by any chance, you're looking for something to give a little "oomph" to your gadget, do click www.doco-store.com and choose your favorite gadget's protection in the most stylish way. Besides, the difference between try and triumph is a little oomph! (not sure if that's in context, but it's 1 AM here so I'm not sure what I'm writing..)

Doco ships internationally and just by additional $2 you can have a similar plate like mine embossed whatever you feel you need to say.

Dressed super casually and rather summery with my recently purchased floral skorts for lunch at Amadeus Cafe then Snow White and The Huntsman was in schedule.

Obsessed.

I love how Snow White is not being portray as a sweet high-pitched voice little lady with no other skills than singing to summon the animals. Cause that sure was not the Grimm's Brother aim when they wrote the original story, which was almost as dark. Kristen Stewart totally kicked ass in the movie. Well, not as much ass, but she looks tough all right. Just the perfect combination of resilient and damsel in distress. I guess my KStew bias is not helping me giving an objective review. Charlize Theron acting was perfect too. And she probably the only Evil Queen who actually had a legit reason to be evil.. The visual of the movie are all raw, bleak, and enchanting at the same time. A highly recommended movie for the weekend.

Sunday Music : Reverly by Kings of Leon

I sort of into these somber songs lately. Kings of Leon seems to have plenty in stock.

And I told myself for the way you go

It rained so hard it felt like snow

Everything came tumbling down on me

In the back of the woods, in the dark of the night

Palest of the old moonlight

Everything just felt so incomplete

Good night and I hope you'll steer away from the usual Monday blue.
