La Luna

How was your weekend?  We caught Brave on Saturday night and it was all things Pixar – googey, heartwarming fun that made the little kid in all of us shed a little tear. Compared to Pixar’s previous masterpieces, Brave tells a much lighter tale that leans heavily on being family-friendly. Before you dismiss the film entirely as a film too simple, we would recommend you to watch it for a totally irrelevant reason – La Luna - the feature short before the start of the actual film.

We’re not gonna spoil it for you, but we’ll give you a little hint of what it’s like. Imagine, the coalescence of a thousand honey stars into a single, glowing moon reflected in the curious eyes of a boy; simply put, La Luna combines the Little Prince, stars and moon rivers into five minutes of pure, breathtaking magic. 

We melted on the spot. 

A new week beckons and we hope you have a great one ahead!

Interesting Sites Starting with P?

Semester has started and I've been thrown a truck load of things to juggle all at once. Blogging has taken a backseat and I apologize.

Anyway, for today's entry, I'll be mentioning three great websites to browse for inspiration and basically and have fun with! Very coincidentally, these sites all begin with the letter, P.

First up, Printstagram.

This magical site prints your Instagram photos as films, prints, stickers, shirts or even in small books. It is an interesting add-on to your own collection of photos on your mobile phone. Printstagram offers products at a pretty affordable price and offer international shipping. Folks like us living in Singapore can get our hands on it as well!

Note that Printstagram only offers the printing of your own instagram photos for all the copyright issues. I wrote an email to printstagram the other day to ask if I could print from my friend's account as a birthday present. The answer was sadly, a no.

Next up, Pugly Pixel.

Oh how I love this site. Pugly Pixel is a place where the owner, Katrina, writes about design, photography, html and other related topics. She provides great tutorials on HTML and photoshop for us design and blogging amateurs. Our sites skeletal code belongs to Pugly Pixel. Thumbs up to Katrina :) Please visit her site! She does, however charge a small fee for her paid resources and classes. Nonetheless, the freebies are enough to fill your many afternoons with trail and error!

p.s. the skeletal layout of my blog is from PP (Strawberry Shortcake)

"Primp my Blog" by Hernewleaf.com

Hernewleaf's Primp my Blog is yet another inspirational source. Her style is much more illustrated and craft-oriented as, and imparts great tips when it comes to blogging. I especially love PMB because it covers issues that newer bloggers might face, right down to choosing between Blogger and Wordpress. It also has some good, reliable information on how to promote your blog via social media, and how to include social media buttons (and such). I also adore the 'primping' part where she helps dress up our blog through easy to follow steps!

I love finding new websites and inspirations. Have a look at them and tell me what you think!

Spotlight: SGcamerastyle

When it comes to documenting fashion and street styles, there's the all-embracing lookbook.nu. Locally, the cool cats gather at poshism.com. Change the fashionistas to cameras, and you get  Singapore Camera Style!

Inspired by Tokyo Camera Style , these local analog camera hunters goes around taking snapshots of  shutterbugs who whip their funky film cameras back and forth.  

(A little late, but look who's on Singapore Camera Style!)

We were pretty surprised when the guys behind the site approached us for a photo. (Maybe slightly embarrassed too, the styrofoam plane we tried to fly crash-landed into a puddle of water just moments before the guys came over at The U Cafe). 

I think it's great that we have an exclusive directory of cameras we see on the streets - from the usual suspects (the lomo gang) to the indie cats (the serious looking 35mm of yesteryesteryears). Wonderful effort there. 

Do check back for more cool clicks!

Breakfast of Champions: Oatmeal with Cold milk, Banana, Honey and Cinnamon

They say that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and I couldn't agree more. It really doesn't take much effort to have some breakfast but many (including me) tend to miss it in the rush of the morning.

So here's a pretty simple breakfast that I've made myself to keep my tummy full on the way to school.

Ingredients (strictly up to your preferences):
1 Banana chopped up
2 tablespoon of rolled instant oats 
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Chomp!
