Something Peach

Went for a bite to eat with L at Sweet Home Cafe as his birthday post-celebration. It was great to hang out and enjoy the night away in a cozy cafe and filling our tummies with yummy food.

Donned something comfortable for this little date night. Unintentionally, my outfit's color scheme matched the coffee shop's hues. I felt like I belong with what I wore, my sweater and boots compliment the floor.  Why am I even talking about the floor? Hahaha. I don't know, I love the cafe's floor. The pattern and colors are simply adorable.

Gravity

I remember dreaming of becoming an astronaut. It would've been cool to be one of the very few females to watch Earth from the vastness of outer space. Floating in the galaxy would be an unforgettable experience. As a kid, I wasn't really thinking of the dangers of this profession. The thought of being out there swimming in deep space simply astounded me. This movie tickled my fancy; I just had to see this in the big screen.

2013 sci-fi drama Gravity revolves around Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a bio-medical engineer, on her first space mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsy (George Clooney). While servicing the Hubble Space Telescope, things go wrong as their space shuttle becomes damaged by a chain reaction of destruction from a Russian anti-satellite test. This visual spectacle makes viewers witness the dead silence of outer space and an astronaut's struggle to survive the unkind cosmos.

If you're expecting aliens, cosmic apocalypse and other stuff  like that, this is not the movie you're looking for. One thing's for sure though, it's a good watch so go ahead buy that ticket and enjoy the show.

Here's the trailer to get you motivated:

Source: http://anthonygreenschildren.tumblr.com

Grasping more of Anthony Green's musical creativity through his solo career is nothing short of awe-inspiring. His poetic lyrics, laudable rhythms and melodies are sure fire to auditory bliss. The good news is he is about to release his third album, Young Legs, on November 12, 2013. Good Old War works with him as his backing band for this record which is a great heads up as these guys also played in his previous album Beautiful Things as well as with Circa Survive. I know I'll be swept away by the time I get to hear everything in Young Legs-- Anthony never fails to impress. Come on, the guy is way too awesome in making music. Anyone who wants to contest that? I don't know about you but he's a prodigy to me. 

While we wait, here's the first single from Young Legs and tracks from Beautiful Things and Avalon. Yup, these'll put you to musical euphoria.

Anticipation

The picture above looks like a blurry photograph-- the one taking the photo might have not set it on focus before clicking. But if you look closely, it's actually a painting. 

Philip Barlow paints lanscapes in a different perspective. His artworks seem to be hazy photographs with a lot of bokeh going on. The art he creates are usual scenarios but depicted atypically which shapes views that mixes reality and dream. However, he is not aiming for surrealism; he wants them to be as familiar as possible.

He celebrates the beauty of light in his pieces-- he discussed his fascination of his favorite subject in his website's bio:

"The figures in the landscape serve as carriers and reflectors of the light that falls upon them. Bathed in the luminosity, it is my hope that they would become more beautiful. To me, light is the ultimate subject because it embodies the pinnacle of all reality."

Grey Lace Tights

I love wearing tights. They spice up my attire and allows me to wear short skirts or dresses without having to worry about showing too much skin (except for the net and lace tights). 

When I eyed this tights at Accessorize, at first I was reluctant of it being lacey but at the same time I was attracted of its vintage appeal-- being in love with vintagey stuff I couldn't resist. It costs PhP 600 at regular price; good thing they were on sale having 70% discount so I only bought it at PhP 180. This beautiful pair of tights is absolutely a good find.

Yuna

I came across one of Yuna's music videos about a year ago while watching one by Zee Avi. Youtube has this thing of displaying similar artists which was an advantage to me; if not for that, I wouldn't have known up to now about this exceptional musician. I was curious especially because of the headscarf she wore-- it kind of reminded me of Erykah Baduh but I was actually clueless as to what her music would sound like. I loaded the video and as soon as I heard her voice I knew I was gonna love the rest of her songs.

Yuna is a Malaysian singer and songwriter. At 14, she began writing her own songs. Myspace was a key element in the discovery of her potential as an international musician; she publicized her tracks on the site back in 2006. With three international releases (Decorate EP, Yuna, Sixth Street EP) up her sleeve it won't be long until her next step to success in the music industry. Her next album Nocturnal is on the works and will be ready for our appreciation on the 29th of October this year. I'm excited as to what beautiful melodies and rhythms she cooked up. 

Have a listen to this Malaysian sensation:

Wild Rice

I noticed this little stall at a new establishment in my city. From afar I can tell it's Asian food because of their logo's oriental font. I've been eyeing it for a couple of days and when I had the time to drop by, I thought of finally trying Wild Rice. The guy over the counter recommended Beef Teriyaki at Php 69.00. Their rate is affordable and the food itself is quite tasty too.

I'm loving the spice of this!

Who wants Chinese for dinner?

Tasty and affordable

Rice toppings on go, I'd put my money on Wild Rice. ;]
