Timshel

Timshel - Mumford and Sons



Cold is the water

It freezes your already cold mind
Already cold, cold mind



And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance



But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand



And you are the mother
The mother of your baby child
The one to whom you gave life
And you have your choices


And these are what make man great
His ladder to the stars



But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand


And I will tell the night

Whisper, "Lose your sight"
But I can't move the mountains for you

7 things


  1. Ordering a "Strawberry Daiquiri" in Korea may end you up with a champagne glass of ethanol and lime juice. Proceed with caution.
  2. Baking cookies inside cookies is called "fat day". It's allowed.
  3. ...."Fat day" may give you tummy ache. 
  4. You should always have a good joke handy.
  5. Pirate Language on Facebook is awesome.
  6. A small act of kindness goes a long way.
  7. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" - Charles Caleb Colton.

Lomography Love

Got a few pics developed from some of my Diana F+ film - Most of them are from our trip to Boracay - but there are a few that crept in from around English Village and the 4th of July - oh the joy of analogue! :)
Boracay Beach

 Our hammock and bungalow 
 fruit shakes... yes.
 beach day
 seafood dinner
the flower path
 Sales and sand
 on the way to the pool
 island hopping
fireworks (4th of July)
Boracay Beach - sail boats
ghostly statues - English Village
Our Philippino Home

ps. these are all totally legit. real. old school film. no iphone, no hipstamatic, no picture-show. just pure lovely analogue. :)

Should I work for free?

I have received a number of "design-request-favours" in the recent past... which is always a tricky thing for me - since i like "being nice" to people, but if I'm ever considering going back into Design full-time, I think it might be a little difficult to support myself on stale bread and "being-nice".

The lovely Laura sent me this very funny flow chart from the blog of Jessica Hische - awesome designer extraordinaire who is responsible for the Daily Drop Cap project (very cool)...

SHOULD I WORK FOR FREE?


Check out the original flow chart here.

7 things

  1. Catching up with old friends should be done on a regular basis
  2. Going to a movie alone on valentines day is fun and liberating :)
  3. If you run 7km, you are allowed to eat a whole box of chocolates in one sitting.
  4. There are awesome people in this world, even if you've never necessarily met them :)
  5. If you spend the morning watching a documentary on the stock markets, you will feel much more intelligent than if you spend the entire morning watching cartoon network.
  6. Little acts of kindness go a long way.
  7. Sometimes you need to take a few steps back in order to keep moving forward

Freelance Whales

....a saturday song....

Freelance Whales - Location



I am starting to sense your location

You are somewhere in the attic




Looking something close to tragic
Knitting t-shirts and your mattress




I'm floating on the stairwell
With my toes grazed in the cedar


Thinking softly what a tinder box we live in...


And what a flammable heart I've been given



You could be in several different places
I am sensing your location


I am starting to sense your location

You are somewhere in the basement


Beating on a makeshift drum kit

Songs that I can hardly stomach


I'm floating on the stairwell


With my fingers shaking frantic
Thinking softly what a concrete mess we live in...
With my fingers shaking frantic
Thinking softly what a concrete mess we live in...




And what a ice box heart I've been given
You could be in several different places
I am sensing your location


You could be in several different places

I am starting to sense your locale now



I am to starting to sense your location

In in an old abandoned mansion
In a country side of England

Spirits trapped inside the linens
And you're feeling quite at home there
Also feeling somewhat lonely
No one sees you in your pixelated fish nets
And your black and orange beret



You could be in several different places

I am sensing your location

You could be in several different places
I am starting to sense your locale now

Oh please believe the ghost in me

Is doing what I can to find you out
