i belong on the stage

here are some of the results of my fooling around with the new camera... expect more to come!

first of all: apologies for the long absence, i would give you an excuse, but really, there's nothing to excuse me apart from a few feeble attempts at becoming a better student and not having access to a computer.

the past few weeks have pretty much followed the same routine, with us heading to school and then to the shop after, except for thursday and friday: i was at auditions for the school's leo club event and my sister was at my grandma's house because she felt sick. (we've now discovered that she has acute tonsilitis. don't look in her throat: it ain't pretty.)

i'm not so sure how the leo auditions went but i have a feeling i won't get in. in the meantime, i have another audition lined up on wednesday, this time for the eco rangers event. rumour has it that bunkface is gonna be there but i'm not going to believe anything just yet.

anyway, i'm now in charge of the shop's official blog... check it out here!

incense like gingerbread

we've been at the shop the whole day today because it is now officially open! visit the facebook page here to check out the stuff and show your support by "liking" it! =)

people have been coming and going since a while after we opened, our first customers being my aunt, uncle and cousins. after that a number of friends and relatives came and went and many bought. even a couple of people we didn't know wandered in and got some things and many people stopped to look in the window.

spent the day in a rather dreamy way under the influence of cool air-conditioning, comfortable sofas, world music and incense that smells like gingerbread which always makes me feel settled in. i've ditched the lord of the rings for now to read the hobbit... i'll be picking up the former again soon though.

with a one week term holiday coming up next saturday i might have some time to put together a decent look to have photographed for the blog. expect to see the owl ring and maybe some items from the shop...!
