merri xmas

I won't be sending sms this year, so wishing you merry xmas now. Merry Xmas from Beacon, Loulou and I. may the spirit of xmas bring you peace. i'm off to jaysen's for today's xmas eve, and we'll be having roasted turkey at home tomorrow! yay!

Sigur Ros

if i had to live somewhere else than here, that'd be iceland. this is the trailer for sigur ros' new dvd, heima which means at home. and as i'm stuck and will be stuck home for the next few weeks because of the exams, i just thought i'd share this with you people.

tremolo molo molo

weird image and sound quality is crap, background noises suck. plus my filming sucks. pretty boy with pretty tremolo. this is my boy friend, jaysen. and my guitar, yamaha C-40 (with strings since 2003...just imagine). and my dogs, beacon and loulou.

exams in one week now. but hols are in three! yuhu. so much things, so little time. another weekend down. but happy weekend that was. happi start of december you all!

thought i'd share.

smashing pumpkins - today, one of my fave vid and such a great song too. i want to live in that vid, for one little moment and then i'll come back to this life. have a cool week
xoxoxo

forget about the cloudy days

not myself these days...lost somewhere among the clouds, and
rediscovering some old sigur ros songs just won't help i guess. don't worry i won't go about mourning. i am a big girl now. and big girls don't cry, do they. (also, i hate ferggie and citing her on my blog does not mean i watch her video clips in which she looks like a 60 year old retard trying to immitate avril lavigne or other lopez...) huh
just blogging to show some stuffs i've been making those past weeks. feels like i'm myself only when creating. but well. if only i could do this and just give up everything else. that'd be perfect. but nothing is.
so this is a pair of white plain shoes which i dyed, revamped and then they were given to my mum. purpling...
this is a top which i made for my friend rooch's b-day some while back. i made a cat-pirate appliquee and hand painted 'we don't care' on the top so that the care and the appliquee only show on the front. and when looked from sideways, one can actually read the we don't care. it was wrapped in black ribbon and i did a little black and white gift tag for rooch, knowing that she likes black...hehe. such a shame the top did not fit her...
yesterday i reconstructed and 'embellished'(?) this tee which i bought for nothing on the street. before and after pics...crappy fotos. arg with the super flash in my camera, the color won't show well. its a sort of violet-prune color. very lovely. it was supa dupa large and there was a small hole too. resized it and put some cloudy appliquee and freely machine sewn onit, without following any kind of pattern or watsoever. i am pretty proud of it actually :) didn't think it would turn out that way. i puffy-ied the sleeves too. and finally hand painted 'up in the clouds'. thats it!
and yea i've been awarded my morinn for the 2nd time! thank you mo! who am i awarding? anyone who'll like to have it i guess... here's the award.
exams are in two weeks. and i got so much stuffs to do i don't quite know where to start. if only i could get out of the clouds...

i(L)macarons, you(L)macarons, everyone(L)macarons

last week while on a mad shopping day with my friend sharon(yeah the thin girl) we got fucking hungry. we stopped by a sorta coffee shop. everything there was uber expensive, so we decided to go elsewhere. less chic. but well. we had to save for shopping. ih. but there they were. those delightful cutest little kawaiiest pastries on earth. the macarons. all pastel colored. lovely. almost too lovely to eat. we had to have some. but hic, they were consting rs13 each. how on earth could somethign so little (3cm, not more...) be so fucking expensive. anyway we had two. framboise and pistache, or was it strawberry and pistache(?). wonderful! tasted wonderful, very very delicate. they melt in the mouth. it was my first time. and since then i dream about eating macarons. on the Laduree(well-known french pastry shop) website, here is how they describe a macaron: These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle. here is a foto for you to salivate and crave for macarons. i remember/associate them with Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. thats the only thing i remember about the Marie Antoinette movie anyway. no no wait. gorgeous Kristen Dunst too. and her super (?) white skin too. la creme de la creme. so that was the macoron story. thx for reading. and yeah if you want to offer me some macarons, just say. we'll go to port-louis. have some macarons that you will pay. have milkshake that you will pay. and then go home and never see each other again. is that not exciting?
and news about the diet. its going strong. i eat more than when i am not on diet. the only thing is that i culpabilize more and this feeling makes me lose weight. weird eh? but thats the trick. i think.
i am currently listening to tegan and sara. two canadian singers. indie-pop. genious lyrics imho. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/teganandsara/areyoutenyearsago.html why aint the link thingie working *£$%^ arggg. anyway very lovely voices too. and tada! a premiere in this blog: video uploading. lol i just discovered it. but it won't work for me. so as morinn suggested, i have tried youtubing my vid(morinn is my blogging guru btw). and to keep in line with the macarons, here is a home made movie: i(L)macarons. its got a song by tegan and sara as background music. do not enjoy.
all for today! muax have a tasty and colorful day you all.

in the mood for

i've got my periods. so i'm not in the mood for anything right now, or perhaps only to sleep and cry at every single negative thing that happens. like crying for not being able to exercise. yeah i've said it, i've tried to exercise, after being convinced by sharon and rooch, my two thin friends. lol. yeah they are thin(not to say skinny)lol .and i am fat, i feel fat. and i am focussing all my attention on this these days, i wanna become thin like the thin girls!!! i know you'll be thinking...ah pff how self-centered. how vain. and it is so true. i cannot help it. and anyway it keeps me active. so like i was saying i tried to exercise and searched for workout vids on youtube for flatten that belly and tonify that body. i tried and kept trying, but i could not. my body doesn;t like the idea of sweating and feeling the pain. my body prefers slow movements, slow breathing like yoga. i feel very good at nufin. and then that is why i cried. i cried because i am hungry too. i am living on toasts and jam since two days. of course i eat other things too, but not as usual. i mean i do not eat AS MUCH as i used to...and its hard. really it is. for example, now its 4pm and since this morn, i;ve eaten only 3 toasts and 1 banana and drank tea. if that is not starvation!! i thought the banana might make me hold on but i'm craving for real food, real meals and real in between meals. hehe. but i am so fat. ok ok that is the last time i'm saying it. I AM FAT. and this is making me depressed these days, its like i cannot live life to its fullest. i am having a fixation, an obsession on losing weight. what is happening to me... i hope i get over this soon. i sure don;t wanna look like these girls who eat an apple instead of a good bar of choc at 4 or those who will buy only digestive biscuits or those you'll count the number of calories on a pack of doritos. no hell no. hey little wannabe kate moss get out of me. i don;t even have nice hair, neither long infinite legs...y would you want me to be thin!!!!!!! its the magazines i tell you, its the media, its mtv(i have mtv now!!! yuk those americans are ridiculously mad), yeah its a cause des garcons like yelle says it. c'est la faute des ma des magazines...they corrupt my mind, i used to like what i saw in my mirror. now i am not quite sure.
so what is still keeping me in the right mood right now, something poetic, something named Devendra Banhart. he is american. he sings folk and his music is beautiful. lovely lyrics and simple melodies. i am in love and the thing is he may be the cutest bearded guy ever. above is a photo only for you beautiful girls that are reading, and for you guys too.
then a japanese fashion designer, Tsumori Chisato. i never thought clothing could be so poetic before i saw her creations. i guess wearing these dresses must make you feel like living in a dream. its surreal. lively plus very wearable. i want one! completely kawaii. one day, maybe... click on the pic for larger pics if you wanna see the dresses in all their beauty. or if you don't want do, don't do anything.
and speaking about japanese, jaysen is learning to speak japanese. this morning he texted to say watashi eeigo ga wakarimasu ka. i wonder what this means. soundscool. i wanna learn too. and i wanna learn hindi. no one vulunteers to teach?
something less poetic but witty and fun. her name is Kate Nash. she sounds like Lily Allen but has more brains that her. she will NOT sing something like:
There was a little old lady,
Who was walkin down the road,
She was struggling with bags from Tesco.
omg that is pure shit. the worst lyrics ever. that is completely not poetic and makes me wanna cry even harder. arg lily you look so good but why sing such shit.
yeah lets go back to Kate, like Lily, she has been discovered via myspace. so here is her myspace for you to have a look and listen to her sounds. she is beautiful and has a retro look. i like her retro look. common these days. but well. cute. i'm listening to her a lot today. i kinda like her very british accent, a bit exagerrated. but she will not last long on my media player. her tunes are catchy, easy but i feel like forgetting them very quickly.
all for now, i'm off to watering my mum's garden. something rejoicing in that boring saturday. mum is away to rodrigues, back tomorrow. yuhu. i am getting sick being without her. i am getting sicker watching my dad cleaning the house. lol. that is a complete laugh i tell you. yesterday we got boiled noodles and an omelette for supper. how yuk! i shut it up and ate as little as i could. but it was horrible. really dad, if you're reading this, please try to cook something decent today. ih. no no i forgot i am to cook today!!! weehee. i'm gonna cook something named sub for dad and grandma, years back i had eaten subs at Debonnairs and since then mum usually cooks them. but i cook them better, really. my version of subs are: taking all left ovas in your fridge, chopping them and putting all the stuff on a piece of bread and then putting the bread dans le four. how do you say four in english? its like a pizza on bread, and my family loves it! i like it too. the essentials are cheese of course, mayonnaise, thym, and bread. then you can play with the other ingredients! the secret is being creative while choosing the ingredients. my top five ingredients are pineapples, green olives confites, seedless pruneau(english?), beacon. but you can try a lot of other stuffs, like chiken, salami, sausages, baked beans, onions, poivron...any fruit, and any veggie will do i think.
these are some pics of me and jaysen at la cuvette last week. it was a lot of fun and a lot of sun. the foto in my right side banner was taken on this day. i know i've written so much and by now you must be quite fucked up to the point of selling all you favorite vintage post cards that you keep since you know whta the word vintage means. since you must have seen i do not blog everyday, so lets say i'm blogging 10 in one. read it in ten sessions and if you still are bored, do not read and go burn those post cards!
and another rejoicing event, tahir my friend, the most talented creol writer i know, is getting his book (a collection of some poems he wrote in between 2003 and 2006) published before the end of this year. wow, indeed uber wow. i like the idea of buying a book whcih a friend of mine wrote. its almost exciting!!! i'll speak more when its out. for now let us wait. he is changing his name to kabir for this. chek him here. there are some of his poems on his blog. wonderful!
note: my links aint appearing. blogger is having its periods too, perhaps.
