Reminder to self

Everyday is a new day

Don't dwell on yesterday's failures

Keep on moving forward!

...Even if you have to crawl...

Most of all,

Don't let anything anyone says get you down!
Even if it's your boss!!

A New Chapter

A new job, doing something totally different, in a new place. I'm both excited and scared at the same time! And a bit reluctant to leave home. I'm not talking about the 'place I grew up' kind of home but the 'home is where the heart lies' kind of home. And my heart lies with one absolutely amazing girl.

Restlessness

It's been too long. Can't stand all this staying at home and not accomplishing anything feeling. I need to get back on my feet and start doing something useful. God, please help me!

New Blogshop: i Heart Cotton.Candy

Hey guys! I've just launched a clothes blogshop HERE. Each design is handpicked to cater to the fashion savvy. Of course we'd want you to look good! ;) Do check it out and support us! ^^

iHeart Cotton.Candy

The theme of our first collection are floral printed dresses and blazers. I personally am a fan of those cotton blazers. Throw them over a tank top for that casual chic look, over a nice shirt for a smart butch look or even over a dress for a semi-formal look or just plain attitude!

Fun with the new Facebook profile layout

My first thought when I first saw the recent profile changes on Facebook was that there's less privacy as all details would be listed right on top of the page, just below the user's name. No way was anyone going to convince me to voluntarily switch to it!

But I've gotta eat my words now thanks to this article on Gizmodo.

Alexandre Oudin's

All I can say is brilliant. The artist, Alexandre Oudin, has deffo inspired me to attempt his ingenious idea :)

Excerpt from Gizmodo:

"For anyone who wants to copy his style, all you have to do is block the other photos you're tagged in and upload photos to your profile pictures album that are the exact size (yes, down to the pixel) of the display on Facebook and voilà!"

 Mine!

I had a bit of trouble understanding the tip at first and so decided to tinker around a bit. This was the final way I used:

First off is to block tagged photos and to make a screenshot of your Facebook profile. Adjust the screenshot opacity so that it's semi-transparent. Insert a photo, align it into the photo areas and crop the areas you'd like to use. It helps if you have a photo editing software such as Photoshop. Once you get this sorted out, upload them into your profile photo album and start tagging! Remember to tag the photo that is supposed to appear at the end of the photostream first.


Or if trying to align all the photos is too much of a pain, even this looks pretty cool :)

My first attempt
