Fur Carlo

My room mate and I have a fascination for women who wear fur. When I take the bus home
from work I see it least 3 to 5 women that wear it. And they all look amazing.
I think he finds women sexy in it and as he puts it "There is something primal about it, I want to
hit them with a stick and drag them to my cave".

1 year 7 days

It has been 1 year and 7 days that I have lived in London.
All good things must come to an end, as they say.

But I don't want it to end.

It has been a whirlwind experience. The first two months saw us in my second home, tropical
goodness, The Philippines. Then it was a 21 hour flight to grey and cold London.
I still remember the flight in and the first week. I remember looking outside the cabin window
and being amazed at the sheer size of London, seeing the city lights illuminating the ground at
5am in the morning, seeing my first double decker bus as we were about the hit the runway
tarmac. Trying to carry our heavy backpacks that contained 1 year of our life. Buying our first
Oyster card and catching the tube to Earls Court, our home for the first couple of weeks.
I remember being jet lagged, dazed, and feeling as though I was in a dream. I remember feeling
so scared and anxious knowing that London would be my new home, and wondering when I
would find work.

And then everything feel into place.

We found a permanent place to live in a great location and eventually found work.
I made great friends. Learned the hard way that a pint of beer is 500ml of alcohol.
Realised how small Sydney is and had crazy 6 degrees of separation from each Sydney sider I
met. Throwing crazy house parties. Hitting the pub almost everyday. Being in awe of street art
and the vast galleries. Learning London slang from work mates. Falling in love with every
vintage store I visit. Having our home as a half way house for various visitors from overseas and from London.
And most of all, having the opportunity to travel to different parts of Europe.

This London life will end soon :(
I feel as though there is more to explore and live.
My only hope is when I do go back to Sydney I experienced enough and regret nothing.

THE xx

As you guys may have noticed already, I change the music on this blog every so often.
I don't think I have ever written a post on the artists I play. But I decided to write a short post.


Ok. here I go..

THE xx

My flat mate played them one morning, a couple of months ago. The pit of my stomach started
to churn, my mind wandered off to wonderland and I started to create mini movies in my head.
THE xx being the soundtrack to my minds daydreams. My soul felt their sound, my body felt
them. They truly have the most beautiful music that I have heard in a while. Their melancholy
voices compliment each other, as does the sound of the base and guitar . Every time I listen
to them I am hypnotized.

Listen to them, they will send you on a beautiful trans.

La danse

So I have been thinking about ballet lately....
I know, random.

Let them eat cake.... or Cupcakes

My room mate came home with these gems last night. Courtesy of The Hummingbird Bakery
in South Kensington, but I believe there is one in Covent Garden too.

Don't you just love cupcakes? Their devil icing and coloured sprinkles lure you in.
Damn them for being so awesome. Damn them, because I wasn't able to taste their goodness.
Because I'm sick. Cue the violins, boohoo for me. Don't you hate it when you are sick, and your
taste buds decide to go bye bye. Well regardless, I ate those cupcakes anyway.
I must give it to the Hummingbird Bakery, their presentation skills and packaging are superb.
It's always the little details that add that oomph factor.

Oh, I'll upload pictures of the Courchevel trip soon.

It was beautiful to say the least.

Who remember's Billy Elliot the movie and the end scene?

Hedi Slimane, can't you tell ;)
Young love indeed.

I took this picture from Sweet Bird Youth's blog. Great blog by the way, I suggest you start
stalking it now. Plus she is also from Sydney which makes me love her even more. lol.

Meanwhile, tattoos seem to be a major theme of late. love em to death really. Yet to weary
to go under the needle soon. There is a rad tattoo parlor near my place... I might take pics of it
actually. Maybe tomorrow.... on my day off.... we'll see.
