Funny now that i got that pink stardust cecilia those quilted frame stams came out, they look way more vintage than regular stams. and now that i have the miu mius i wanted, they show up on net-a-porter...at least i got to try them out in a boutique and see the colours in person.

In the aristocats, i like madame...i want to grow old to be like that. retire to live on my own with my many pets in different country. sounds good to me.

My fingers have been getting cut way too easy lately...maybe something really is wrong as she suggested.

This is the weird grocery shopping post. these are some of the things that i have consumed/been consuming lately.



Finally found those m. y. san skyflakes, so yummy but always out of stock.



Since I am a mcvitie's digestives addict, got excited to find their other line HobNobs at the co-op.



When looking for something instant to get, i found these udon noodles. tried them once already, got enough ingredients left for another, it was very good.



Lastly, my blue drink. i dunno if it's an energy drink or just flavoured water. maybe a mixture of both? the bottle is rather large but very delicious. such a good thirst quencher, as advertised.



Got it in a few other flavours, too.

♦ recently bought a lot of my old disney favourites...oliver & company and the aristocats. I didn't realize that oliver & company is an adaptation of oliver twist. When i first watched this i was so young that i couldn't even say "company"...i always pronounced it oliver & companpany lol but i still sang along with why should i worry & you and me even when i didn't know the words.

now that i've seen the movies as an adult i can really see the difference in art and animation between them and recent movies, there is something special about them. in the aristocats had humans look like kind of incomplete sketches. at the same time the animal heroes in disney animated movies may very well have human appearances behind them...i don't know how to explain it any better than that.

this is "you & me" if you're interested or if you're feeling nostalgic



i only found out today that billy joel played dodger and joey lawrence played oliver (: their voices were just way too familiar i had to look it up, here's "why should i worry?", one of my all time faves

♦ The more people try to steer me towards what they think I should be doing with my life now that I'm done with school, the more scared I get
♦ My baby cousin constantly looks like he has a question to ask, but it seems that when he learns how to ask it he'll have forgotten what it was
♦ I had prawn crackers for dinner and realized that when I'm done eating something from a disposable packet, tend to fold it up before throwing it away, normally I'd wonder what that says about me but I'm not sure I care anymore
♦ Freedom, to me, is not what you are allowed to do (or is acceptable for you to do) in comparison to what others are not allowed to do, it is what you do without the need for approval regardless of what is acceptable, and no "others" are part of that equation
♦ While it is good to dream, because dreams keep us alive, deep within I know that my dreams are all within my reach; this is the difference between a dream and a fantasy to me
♦ When I look back at old photographs and see our smiles I think, "hey, things weren't as bad as they seemed!" so I continue to smile to the camera so that one day I will look back to these photographs and think the same thing, memories are all we have and all we will take with us
♦ I am certain that I have already met an extremely empathetic person that simply doesn't know it yet
♦ One of the perks of not having a job is not needing to set an alarm on a weekday and if your unemployed friends want to do something, they are in charge of waking you up
♦ She was right, unemployed people are more in touch with their philosophical sides; now if only my mind would wander into more productive areas rather than idly become the devil's den
♦ My fascination is creating a story where characters all have dark sides that shine through them at numerous parts of it, because everyone has a dark side and it's ok, but until those dark sides materialize in my head, this fascination will not be put in action
♦ It is my goal to find simple happiness
