festivities

just a few memories from my fantastic birthday party last month.

thanks for the photos steven!

i got nothin' on her!

i get a lot of lovely comments on my chalkboard writing.

but next to this amazing woman my writing looks like pre-school scribbles.

dana tanamachi – you rock!

i'm in awe.

comparison

life is not always easy, or full of decisions that we are excited about.

but making the most out of every situation and new opportunity is the best and happiest way to live.

this is a special little post for a – guess i could say – "new" friend.

just something i thought you might like "L".

30 before 30 recap

seeing that i'm a month on from my 30th birthday i thought it was about time i gave a little recap on my 30 before 30 list.

this little project generated a LOT of interest and became a pretty common conversation piece with friends and strangers alike.

to start with i'm going to explain i never had any false expectations that i would get the entire list finished in one year.

the main idea behind it all was to write a list of things i personally wanted to do and try to get some of them accomplished.

without the list i wouldn't have tried to achieve half of them.

would i have made a big effort to run 10km if i didn't publicly note it?

most probably not.

i never intended to 'disrupt' my life for it either.

i wasn't going to miss other opportunities that came up or put aside important events for the sake of a list.

it was more about getting the most out of life, rather than putting life on hold.

so if i hadn't quit my job mid last year, i may have made pizza dough and bought a bike, but never gone to europe.

it was also a self motivation exercise, further spurred on by the fact that i made published it on my more-popular-than-i-thought blog.

i'm really touched by all the support and interest in it.

so thanks!

especially to my darling friends.

24 out of 30 ain't too bad!

the bowery suite

i am super inspired by the fresh white decor and splashes of colour.

from the amazing my suites.

noted for my new apartment!

I just rented my own place and moved in last weekend…

well a little bit moved in…
