CARAMEL MOCHA

 The caffeine kicked in and I find myself here in this site to which only this laptop knows my username and password. Recently, there's been a resurgence of snail mails and people got creative and they write a letter, with some artprint and stickers other ephemera, stuck it all inside a nice envelope and sell it for a pretty penny. I got some, of course, but it doesn't feel sincere coz it is generic. sometimes they all have the same theme of romantizicing life, slowing dowm, going for a pause, yadda yadda yadda. I love the artprints and maybe the stickers but I am done. for now.  Anyway, this lead me to more art related stuff like journaling, washi tapes and rubber stamps. The latter is my kryptonite and when the gate opened up for me, not knowing before that there's a world out there full of these cute stamps, I was like a kid in a candy store. I went crazy and down the rabbit hole, nothing much in the local shores so have to look in China, Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia. Maybe in South Korea, too but let's not go there anymore when there's lot to had here. Just 3 weeks ago I don't know who Eileen Tai is. now I know all the stores in Tokyo where you can get these goodies - Loft, Tegamisha, 36 Duplo, Giovanni, Itoya, Redbug, etc.

AFFOGATO

 Going to the mall just slaps you with the reality that your house is a mess. As much as you love to buy a new, modern dining table which will double as a work desk and in your mind would complete the dream office setting but NO. Like where exactly do you intend to place that? and is it childproof? Everything now should be thought out very carefully.  No book on decluttering will ever help you declutter if you don't put in some elbow grease. How many ebooks and audiobooks do I have on decluttering anyway, how many tv shows and vlogs? You get some ideas here and there but in the end you do it your way with old housekeeping skills you have watched people around you do. Good thing I grew up in that era but still I suffer from wanting everything clean and not able to do anything about it because of dust, pets and now a baby.  It weighs heavily on my mind the daily chores that I ignore and if I get them done it makes me angry that I have to do it all over again in a few days o...

  I was looking for a free blogging site because wordpress is not working for me. Can't access my account. Then I tried this Blogger.com, and to my surprise I have an account here lol. coz I forgot, of course. and I don't know my password here either.  Well, because of the Sylvanian Families and the Hironos, I needed some display cabinets and that started me searching for Japan Surplus. It was difficult to find pieces that don't look too dated or you know in one look everyone will know it was a surplus item coz of the style and the paint. Win some, lose some. The Nitori chairs were a good find but kind of expensive when months later after I got them Nitori opened their first ever branch in the country pfffft. But I got me one brand new chair which is yet to be assembled. I got it in blue. Now I want the mocha one,too but currently out of stock. Almost all of the furnitures on Nitori online are either out of stock or for preorder same story if you go to their store. It's...
