1000 Awesome Things

Awesome!

100 Awesome things is a website with a countdown from 1000 to 1 and so far it has reached the 500+ mark and it is updated every two weeks. So far from what I have read, the person behind this idea is reading my mind!
Very fun read when you want to read something leisurely and definitely bring a smile to your face. I somehow connect with the way this person types out and I beleiev many people out there who stumbled upon that website feels the same way too.

I had just read #566 Unforgettable Friends and got teary eyed. It is true in life there will be someone who you find as a good friend because

• When you first meet and even after saying the craziest things like (a fear of jelly), they still LIKE you! LOL
• They support you and your crazy ideas MOST of the times. ^^
• You can tell them ANYTHING (problems, get honest feedback, no artificial stuff) knowing they will not reveal the things you told them to anyone else.
• You are not worried being yourself.
• They are not FAKE with you.
• If you hear any *crap* about them, you do not go round and round through random people, you go straight to them to get the truth.
• You do not have to see each other everday but meeting up once in a while - an email- a random text saying hello-
• 
  After reading that post, I feel so much grateful for the people that know who I am and they know who I am. The pressure to fit in has lessen and just be grateful with what I have.

I am in AWE

Like everybody else I am still in the process of finding my style in terms of clothing. I had some times when I look back on my choices of clothing and cringe. I remember a phase where I wore black only. It was not a flattering choice of color since it consisted mostly baggy size L T-shirts. I still wear black but in moderation. Hahaha anyways I am getting off topic.

I basically want to say
"Only through experience will one be able to get the combination of what "You" consist of right." Clearing out my closet of clothes that are just collecting dust and trying to recreate something and trying to be my own tailor. I am still quite far off. My current obsession is vintage clothing
from the 1960's to the 1980's. I have manage to purchase some of these clothes at a sweet deal and I simply love the style.

My friends call me old fashion even my own mother but hey if i remember right
Oscar Wilde said “Fashion is something so ugly it has to change every six months”

I was on MSN and I stumbled on to a picture of two men who look so awesome that it just looks effortless. I saw vintage clothing mixed in with the new.

I went off to search for their website which was called Street Etiquette. The two very creative minds who created the site are Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs (As shown in the picture above). They definitely know how to look good and still be classy at the same time. It was not a disappointing read and I am going to visit their website regularly. Impressive. I feel inspired when I read their blog.

Please Rob Me

In this age of technology, we have social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter to update where and what are we doing at this very moment with the help of the internet. It all seems so simple when we use them to keep in contact with people we know and in some instances become an easy way to stay in contact. I agree as I myself have a facebook account as well as twitter. They are awesome in a sense but there are some hidden dangers to it.

An example is when you tell people that you are NOT home.

I came across this site called Please Rob Me - A website that has creatively shown the pitfalls of updating your status of being away from you home and it will potentially be dangerous as some people might take advantage of this situation when using applications tellng people exactly where you are like Twitter and Foursquare(I do not think we use this application in Brunei though) .

These words that are shown below are directly from Please Rob Me and I am giving them the credit as they explain is so well (This is part of the why section which I have copy and pasted here )

"The danger is publicly telling people where you are. This is because it leaves one place you're definitely not... home. So here we are; on one end we're leaving lights on when we're going on a holiday, and on the other we're telling everybody on the internet we're not home. It gets even worse if you have "friends" who want to colonize your house. That means they have to enter your address, to tell everyone where they are. Your address.. on the internet.. Now you know what to do when people reach for their phone as soon as they enter your home. That's right, slap them across the face. "

Interesting stuff I might say. This is definitely one way to increase awareness about putting up too much information. It makes you stop and think.

When you break your arm

When I was younger, I was very prone to breaking my arm(I was pretty reckless as a kid). This would result in a trip to the hostpital and then I would get a sling on my arm.

People would ask how did I break my arm (Pretty fun to recap the story 2- 3 times but after that it gets too tiresome as I am not talkative all the timeT_T).

One of those times or let me say event as to how my arm was fractured is now a permanent story my family members remembers with amusement as it involved a freezer and superman. -_-
I came across this very cool sling that is so creavtive and basically you do not even have to say even one word to explain the "event". Very simple and I salute the person who did this - Brazilian designer Andre Montejorge. His site is pretty awesome as well and may be found by clicking on his name. I know that I will be checking out his blog and maybe get a sling from him the NEXT time I fracture my arm ^_^
