Stackenblocken!

One of my 25 random facts I posted on FB:

I am a modern minimalist trapped in a sentimentalist body. In the words of others, I like to keep everything in an "organized clutter". I get my orderly, organizational skills from my mom. [I get my love for music + artistic abilities from my dad.] I have a lot of stuff so being organized + putting everything in its right place seems to come to me naturally.

If something in my room or on my desk was moved, then I would immediately notice. My workmates have dubbed my desk after the Conan O'brien German game show skit "Stackenblocken". They would joke + say everything on my desk was placed at 90° angles [not true], which would help me easily win at Stackenblocken.

They don't normally make videos so I appreciate the effort into this particular one. What a beautiful location they chose.

Back from India

Collecting my thoughts + experiences from my 2-week trip is not as easy as it sounds. I'm feeling I need a few extra days to process everything from my time in India—especially since tonight I will need meet with my team to be interviewed on video about my personal experiences from the trip, how it has reshaped my thinking, + what I was able to take away from it. Seems easy enough, right? Praying that the words will come to me...

Still at work while all this is going on in the background of my mind. Time to multi-task.


Nice Dream

Shy Child? Who? Cowbell? What? Keytar? Why??

The other night, I was up late [uh, like tonight] + couldn't sleep so I tried watching random things on the tele to tire my eyes out. While flipping channels, Samuel L. Jackson popped up on screen. Now, Mr. Jackson is just the kind of person that immediately commands anyone's attention, so I watch for a bit to see what the man was up to. He walks into this auditorium filled with a massive audience, which he is supposedly hosting along with Uma Thurman. It was for the UK's Swarovski Fashion Rocks for The Prince's Trust benefit where they integrate live musical acts with fashion models strutting their stuff down the stage-turned-catwalk. And by "stuff", I mean the stuff VersaceArmaniDolce+GabbanaCalvinKleinChanelBurberry are made of.

"Ooo..."

So, yeh. Next thing I know, I'm glued to my *coughIKEAcough* couch + end up watching the entire show front to back. I really thought it was interesting the way they mixed in both industries onto one stage. Made for a fun show, no doubt about that. Oh, something funny... While the video crew was panning the audience, they spotted Gwyneth Paltrow covering her ears in discomfort during Iggy Pop + the Stooge's brash performance. I guess she doesn't really like that type of rock even though she is wed to a "rockstar". Hehe, it was hilarious. All the while, folks like Kate Moss were busy rocking out + weren't afraid to show it. Yee-uh.

One band @ Fashion Rocks that caught my ear is called Shy Child, which is a 2-man band from NYC complete with vox + synth keytar + drumkit. Yuh. I said "keytar", as in keyboard + guitar. The song they performed, "Drop the Phone", started out a bit minimal + funky, but it peaked my attention to keep me watching--not to mention the fact that the "giraffe" models clad in Stella McCartney were playing musical chairs! Then, past the few first verses it really started to pick up; enough to get me moving.

"Oke, who are these guys?? Must find out more..."

Here, you can find out more, too.




Alright, I have to admit, the keytar just feels right with them...

loving the new M.I.A. album!

... of course, thanks to Mila. ^__^



I'd link to her official site, but the page might give you epilepsy. So, peep her myspace page instead.

"Woooow." This is great for my tiny apartment. Don't imagine sitting in it for a long movie, but it seems ideal for those few [haha, more like zero] times when I have more than 3 people at my place. ;) Now, where can I get one of those?
