Random Homes: 16 rad homes
^I like the top one, though the red looks very sharp against the bright white surroundings. The bottom one makes my eye spin emoticon
^These two look so elegant and classy, I would stay here for holidays or just visiting, but I'd never live here, the tone is too somber for me. These are the ultimate pad for the men emoticon
Special bonus: The Bat Cave (I wish, the name popped in my mind the first time I saw this)

^Both of these look cozy, with a bare balcony on the side. The bottom one is also great, but I would change the sofa, I don't like leather seats!
^Green!The attic one looks very quirky. I like the interior of the bottom one but I wouldn't have floor to ceiling glass walls. I love natural sun light, but not that much!
^The chairs near the pool look out of place, maybe steel or rattan chair would fit better. The second picture...it just looks cold to me.
^This also looks cold because of the blue tones, but still inviting. Although the fact that I can't see any walls between the living room and the yard is frightening. Calming colors. I calm down more in soft blue, than in green.
^Yup, I like white, but not that much blinding white!
^I like the funky shapes, but not the colors. Actually I like sleeping on thick futons (I sleep on a mattress on the floor actually emoticon) more than sleeping on beds. The right one looks nice except for the colors and wtf is that on the background, a volcano? emoticon

I absolutely love minimalistic interiors with lots of sunshine and air. I like practicality as long as it doesn't look like I'm living in a spaceship. I also like shabby chic vintage, with less boxy furniture.

This video shows how the inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Philippines dance to the tunes of popular Korean ensembles, Big Bang and Wonder Girls. There are a lot of other dance videos too, there is this cute Suzumiya Haruhi dance, Canon D (rock version, it's funny the guys were holding brooms) and a weird MJ Thriller dance. There is also a tribute dance for a troupe of Korean dancers who performed for them. Check them all out. I wonder how many hours/days/weeks do they spend practising, but it is way better than just waste their leisure time sitting on their bunks or walking idly on the enclosed yard for outdoor activities.

I personally like this a lot. I find the transvestites creepy though emoticon The inmates gets enough exercise, and they get to socialize in a fun way. I wish all of the prison in the world would adopt this method. Though inmates who doesn't want to lose their tough guy image would give this a pass, and they would probably mock or raep those who're interested in this. I think most inmates would enjoy it anyway, dancing is fun, you can't be angry or sad or revengeful when you're dancing. Even if it doesn't make you happy, at least dancing will make the feeling go away emoticon

I woke up early as usual and made myself a big mug of coffee. Apparently that didn't jolt me awake because as I was reading an article, I came upon the word, 'paralegal' and what came up in my mind was paraplegic. I know that was wrong so I searched for the right meaning in the dictionary, of course it isn't paraplegic!
room
私は居間好きをします, especially the bright green carpet! If I lay on it while reading and drinking coffee and eating French toast, it would feel as if I was outdoors, having a picnic. Isn't it great? Unfortunately, the owner said that they don't like the rug anymore. I don't have a good eye for arts, but I like a few frames decorating my walls. Kana and Sam's tastefully had several eye catching pieces, instead of a dozen family pictures clumped together on the wall. I think family pictures are intimate and I would place them in the bedroom, office/reading area and the kitchen.

I hate cluttered spaces, I like arranging pots and pans inside a cabinet, leaving a few most used hanging on the wall. I wonder if this had anything to do with my mild OCD? My boyfriend told me he would buy me a Lego set when he saw me absentmindedly stacking up spoons in a buffet style restaurant. I just like things in their proper place, my mind can't work right if things are cluttered and all jumbled up together. I also dislike having too many knickknacks on display, it makes me feel as if I was living in a store. This house totally gave me a major headache. If an artist is truly talented, he must not have to live in a messy room or not taking a shower for weeks, just to get his creative juices flowing.

10 jobs cooler than yours by CNN: Link to article
1. Cruise Director (AAS:$21, 219)
This job sounds good since I love traveling and motion sickness isn't a problem for me. I also like planning, provided I'm given an iron fist over the whole thing. The whole idea is inviting, free travels! The downside is the customer service, there's bound to be some family from hell in the cruise.

2. Doll Doctor (AAS:$24, 413)
Doll eyes are creepy.

3. Foley Artist (AAS:$55, 959)
I'm not creative enough to think of various ways to create sound.

4. Food Critic (AAS:$58, 704)
Another cool job! It must be heaven to be a food critic. I don't get fat so free food is always welcomed. The salary is high, I get to eat for free. However, I'm picky in things I eat, and since everybody started from below, I don't want to eat chicken fried grease.

5. Pet Psychologist (AAS:$19, 220)
A waste of time.

6. Route Setter (AAS:$NA)
Reading this, I remembered one Dirty Jobs episode where Mike Rowe worked as a roadkill cleaner. I know this has nothing to do with being a route setter, but it just pops out of my mind. Hikers should like this job. Not for me. I found an adorable route setter on the web.

7. Shoe Designer (AAS:$67, 247)
Again, I don't have the necessary creative skills. I'm not interested either, I must be the only female who doesn't really give a fuck about shoes.

8. Storm Chaser (AAS:$60, 968)
Not interested in any scientific work.

9. Video Game Tester (AAS:$44, 600)
Aah, this one's promising. I like gaming, but yeah I'm also very picky in what I play. I like fps and rpg. I don't really like brain busting games.

10. Voice Actor(Average annual salary: $47, 000)
I don't have a nice voice. No go.

My dream job, well, not actually a job per se, but my dream state of being would be, reading or writing in a on a comfortable couch, with endless supply of strawberry tea and dark chocolates. Okay, endless supplies of hot beverages and all kinds of desserts, more like it.

二番, Frankly Scarlet bowl, I can't steal the images and I'm not in the mood to prrint screen so check out the website here: Whiteforestpottery.com There are a lot of nice pottery pieces for home, gift sets and sculpture too. I also like the hot cocoa mugs. The simplicity is very nice.

四番,Morphuk.com This is a site very worth noticing. I can't show the pictures because they are all in flash like in the whiteforest pottery site (T__T) I want everything they sell, the salad bowls, the famous measuring spoons, the bread bin, everything! The colors are breathtaking! William Sonoma has nothing on these guys!

On the other hand, a little joke.
"Let me tell you guys a joke. A bunny is running through the forest all happy, and he comes across a bear, who's about to smoke a joint!"
*laughter*
"So the bear is gonna light up a J, and the bunny says 'Don't do that Mr. Bear, come run through the forest with me.' So the bear does. Then they run across their friend the giraffe, who's about to do a line of cocaine. 'Don't do that Mr. Giraffe, come run through the forest with us.'
'Okay' the bear says, and they all take off running.
Then they run into their friend the lion, who's about to shoot up some heroin."
*class laughter turns to muffled chuckles*
"'Don't do that Mr. Lion! Come run through the forest with us!' and the lion comes up and starts beating on the bunny. The bunny asks 'why were you beating on me Mr. Lion?'
'Because every time you're on ecstasy you want me to run through the forest with you!'"

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Are they crazy? There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog continues to receive special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return.

I would love to stay in this hotel, 室もたくさんあります。It's hard to choose just one room to spend time in, I wish I had every day of the year to sleep in each and every one of these rooms.

This is one of the simplest room available out of the 29 unique rooms, 'Wake Up' designed by Supajira Boontanorm. The room looks homely, with not too much pink. I especially like the lamps, I'm so going to get it. The room decor however is nothing to shout about, it's just homely.

The room below is called Illusion, designed by (Man) Supakit Tungtatsawat & Reflections Create Group. It made my eyeballs spin involuntarily as I was staring at it @_@





room,quirky

color,roomroom
Now this one is by Kingkan Lerdvirotvut. I love it even if the bright red makes me feel hot. This room is for audiophiles, it has a piano keyboard couch (in red), a small nook for a table and very red chair for doing work, and another table at the veranda, perfect for Sundays in, playing games or simply reading and spending time with the family, fortunately it's not in shocking red. By far my most favorite room =3

architecture
Isn't it gorgeous? It is the Egeskov Castle, Fyn Island, Denmark. [It's my favorite because it's not too big]. This will be my dream house if I have the money. The others are pretty, no doubt about it, but they're not my taste. I also don't fancy the too imposing look they have. Though I love big sparse house, too large will overwhelm me.

Actually I'm more of a cottage or a manor person. I like the country, but not too rural, I'd like to have Starbucks and sushi or any restaurants within an hour driving range XD I like medium sized house, no grandiose for me, because I kept thinking about the cleaning, even if we get rich and can afford maids, I'd prefer to clean stuff myself, because I don't want too many people in the house, I want utmost privacy.
architecture
I love this one too but I can't figure out which castle it is. It would be nice to go visit and explore these castles. There's a lot more castle pictures at the site.

I love this, it's very practical and space saving!
It looks ugly when the doors are closed though, but still, I'd love to have this, compact kitchen!

This furniture also grabbed my attention. The cave looks like a cozy spot to read! I would want it in a darker color, a stained wood perhaps. It doesn't look like a great place for kids because it's small. I planned to back this up on the wall near a bay window.

This bed is perfect for my boyfriend and I, we love to watch movies before bed.
Watch this video, I didn't know the screen can swivel! I can imagine lovely movie nights now with our favorite spicy cornflakes snack and warm tea =3
