Some of my threadless tees

I have quite a few threadless tees. I was looking through the pics in my phone and realized that I am forever taking pics of the tees I wear. So, here are some of the tees that I have. If photos are not in the best resolution, it’s only because it’s taken with a phone camera.

A Birth Day threadless tee

This one is called A Birth Day. It is just meant to be a funny cute tshirt about what could happen if a cow and a chicken having a baby. But come to think of it, I am that spotted egg.

Hello, mixed parentage? I swear it just crossed my mind as I was typing out this post. Maybe that’s what my new nick can be: A Spotted Egg.

Rock Out with your Cock Out threadless tee

I love this one. This one is called Rock Out with your Cock Out. See the rooster at the bottom left? What cock were you thinking of? Tsk, tsk. I bought this after we got the PS3 and played several rounds of rockband. Makes you feel like a rockstar, haha.

Oh wait, I just realised that the rooster isnt visible in this photo.

There you go :D

self portait threadless tee

Another one of my favourites. This one is called Self potrait. It shows a monster drawing a picture of himself. Well my photo doesnt show the full picture but this is how it looks like in full:

Cute isn’t it?

And the last tee that I have a photo of is Playin’ in the Sprinkles:

Playin' in the Sprinkler threadless tee

It’s not very clear but it simply shows an ice cream and a donut playing in rainbow sprinkles, probably explaining how ice creams and donuts get to have sprinkles on them.

Yes I make up cute stories all the time. And because it is unclear and not shown in full, this is how it actually looks like:

It’s been awhile since I shopped at threadless. Looking at these pics now, it’s making me want to.. shop.

Perhaps after my pay is in for the month.

Handwritten movie tickets

manual movie tickets

These are actually valid movie tickets.

Went to watch the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie yesterday (nice show by the way) and we bought our tickets online, because lazy people do not queue for their movie tickets. :P

So when I went to collect the tickets, the printer decided to stop working (it had been working until it was my turn to collect the tickets). So the guy at the counter made me these handwritten tickets! He smiled at me sheepishly while saying, “These are manual tickets, you can still use them to get in. I’m sorry but our printer broke down.”

Well don’t be sorry. It’s really fantastic and unique. How many people have had handwritten movie tickets? Or shall we say manual movie tickets? There is such a nice, retro feeling to this.

Old school, even.

And by mere coincidence (or perhaps the cinema gods wanted to help me prove my point), the printer got up and running again after it was my turn and the people behind me got their regular and boringly printed movie tickets.

That, my friends, is what I call fate.

Or maybe it’s my way of contributing to Earth Hour because I’d be in the movie theater during the dark hour anyway. So forgoing the use of electronics to get my movie ticket is my way of paying tribute to the hour.

Hur hur hur. I just made that up.

Perhaps we should forgo emails and blogs for the entire month and replacing it with handwritten letters and good old diaries. And we can call it Earth Month. What say you? But if we did that then trees will die and we will all be told to use paperless methods, so as to save the trees.

It’s another chicken and egg problem, and there is no pleasing everybody. And that’s how the cookie always crumbles.

WordPress for Blackberry Bugs

Imagine this.

I just got up from a nap (that was induced by drowsy medication) and after fiddling with my blackberry, I thought I’d try out blogging using WordPress for Blackberry. All from the convenience of the bed, while the TV was showing cartoons on Nickelodeon.

I’ve downloaded this app last week but upon seeing that I couldn’t properly preview photos that I wanted to insert in the post, I closed the app and forgot all about it. But today, because I was sick, I thought I’d just overcome that slight glitch and try this mobile blogging anyway.

So I happily typed and typed on my lovely phone, enjoying the process. I made sure I saved the draft as I went along (oh, this is a habit of mine, even when I blog normally) and even painstakingly opened photo by photo in my blackberry until I found the one i wanted to insert in the post.

And then I proceeded to publish my post, excitement building up.

Then I got this message:

Local Drafts Cannot be Sent

wordpress for blackberry error

Which was weird, because obviously it would still be a draft by default. But I let the issue go, and changed the status to “published” – which already pissed me off because these things are supposed to be automatic.

So I clicked “Submit” again.

wordpress for blackberry status

And the data got sent again, a process which took AGES.

And when it FINALLY stopped, it showed me this:

wordpress for blackberry prompt

*speechless*

And this made me get out of the comfy, warm bed. My initial intention was to blog about me being sick from the comfort of my bed. But it turned out, the exact same application that was supposed to provide that convenience made me get out of bed, turn on my laptop and blog about the bugs I’ve found in the application.

Ironic, isn’t it?

I hope the developers will look into this issue and fix the crap out of it. Because I easily blogged from my iTouch using the WordPress App and I didn’t even encounter a single problem. Shame on you.

p/s: And no, I am still not switching to iPhone, because I still have my itouch with all my apps.

the evolution of my strawBerry

Let me finally tell you about my blackberry bold 9000, which has been girly-fied beyond repair.

It has become a great conversation starter as well as gotten both dirty and envious looks. And tomorrow marks its 6th month of becoming my personal strawBerry.

I can’t believe I’ve had it for 6 months and only blogging about it now. Well better late than never.

So this was strawBerry, when I just bought it. Fresh out of the box and into my eager hands. Just that these eager hands had absolutely no idea how to work the phone! Smart phones seriously make you look stupid. But being a tech savvy girl (cough cough, i work for a website so that counts as tech savvy!), I quickly got the hang of it and have enjoyed every single moment of Blackberry-dom.

But of course, I couldn’t wait to turn my blackberry into a girl. On the same day itself, I bought a lovely pink housing (matches my laptop, external hard disc and Nintendo DS) off ebay. But of course that took AGES to arrive.

So in the meantime, I found a pink theme to appease myself.

And then one day.. jeng jeng jengggggg! Look who is peeking so shyly from inside the black leather casing?

Aww, hehehe. Full view below:

How pretty is my phone! But I eventually peeled off the sticker that is on the area where the camera is (I don’t know the proper name but it’s at the top of the phone – where the word Blackberry is) because it was slightly scratched off. Fine by me! It looks fine as a pink and black phone anyway.

blackberry bold cherry berry theme

This is strawBerry with a pink and green Cherry Berry theme (still it’s current theme).

And of course with time, the paint on the sides of the housing began to get scraped off. I haven’t had the time to shop for another set of blackberry housing so I made my blackberry put some clothes on.

It is now wearing a pink silicon cover. :P

See, this accentuates my point on Who says Techy Can’t be Girly?

I will save you the agony on the things I do on my blackberry in another post, hehe.

A simple moment in time

casual-read

I love this photo. It was taken during an impromptu photoshoot that was set up in the back seat of a car.

It was a long drive so while I found myself in a relaxed pose equipped with a book, FP decided to set up his equipment right at the backseat and he just kept snapping photos. I didn’t even pose for a single shot, I just minded my own business reading my book.

Perhaps that is precisely the reason why I love this photo. How natural and relaxing it looks. I was curled up in the corner of the backseat, reading trashy chick lit (seriously). I was at my natural relaxed state.

I was at my natural best :D

It is indeed a very serene photo, that speaks volume about personal time and space. And about just being relaxed and unguarded.

Or maybe, just like many other things, I’m just reading too much into the picture. But, a picture is worth a thousand words, no?
