via fatmumslim.com.au  Since I missed my photo-a-day this February, I thought I should do one for October! There were so many challenges posted out there but i sorta like this list i found online. SOooo.... let's do this! 

Life List #14: Dance Dance Dance

Image
In my attempt to cross of items from my Bucket List , I've finally enrolled in a contemporary dance class! Yes before my bones get brittle and I can barely Plié, or touch (or see) my toes, I figured I might as well DO THIS NOW or forever live my life vicariously through So You Think You Can Dance. So my bestie and I looked for classes in our area and finally we found a place which was just starting their Intro to Contemporary class and we figured... PERFECT! I haven't had any professional lessons and although gymnastics and synchro has thought me a great deal about pointing my feet and locking those knees and engaging your core, I needed to get down to basics and learn some technique. Well it has been more than 10 years since then, so it would be scary if all I remembered from training was this: claw of fury Boy were we in for a treat! It's been ten weeks and i must say that I'M ENJOYING EVERY PAINFUL MOMENT OF IT! I think I might possibly be the oldest...

Music Monday: Sleeping at Last

Image
This is such a beautiful song and although it was labelled 'too emo' to add to my wedding playlist, it was still a song that accompanied me as I was preparing for The Day. Played by the band Sleeping at Last, which basically consists of ONE member - Ryan O'Neal, this song just moves me in soooo many ways. :) As we come into the fourth month of marriage, I'm truly thankful for good music that transcends spoken words. I'm glad the love of music is something we share.

This is one of the most funny yet freaky things I've seen in a long time. Thumbs up to the copywriter! The VO is hilarious! I keep watching this every time I take a breather from work. HAHA. LOVE IT!

change

Little rattle-me-silly reminders come in the most charming of ways. This one about change came from my dear friend Mel: Meredith Grey: " Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is … everything."  So yes I will heed the great advice of Meredith Grey cause it's time for letting go of some things to make way for new things. And I know we'll be okay, cause our God is still God of all circumstances.

Music Monday: Cat Power

Image
HellooooMonday! The melodic reigns of " Ruin " stirred my morning reverie and I just knew I had to do a Cat Power tribute for Music Monday. Charlyn Marie Marshall aka Chan Marshall or better known as Cat Power is an indie rock/folk rock/alternative rock singer songwriter who has been around for 20 odd years and I think she's pretty amazing! She's an actress too and if you've seen Wong Kar Wai 's 'My Blueberry Nights' , you would have spotted her! This song almost made it to my wedding playlist but my husband would have rolled his eyes and said "emoooooooo".... but anyway, here's Cat Power doing a beautiful cover of "Sea of Love" And here's one where she covers "Wonderwall"

Thankfully.... i have Photoshop and Image Ready which provides endless hours of geeky pleasure. :D Photo-booth's at weddings are the bomb! H ere's one of us going up, up and awayyy~!
