He loves her ... !

On Jason and Kelly's first date, they came to Ocean Beach in San Francisco as Andres Amador happened to be creating a mural in the sand. 5 years later, Jason hired Andres to create a sand-written proposal for Kelly. He brought her to the beach for a casual stroll and she was shocked to discover a similar sand mural. He had her climb the neighboring rock so she could view the message in full. She said yes.

And it gets even better. All their friends were waiting for them below with champagne. Then a limo drove them to In and Out Burger and brought them back to the beach for a bonfire where fire dancers just happened to be performing. Kelly is one lucky lady!

Potted on a Budget

budget. i hate that word. my financial methodology is more along the lines of “try to be sensible and then hope for the best.” i’m not a planner by any means. i don’t, for instance, make lists when i go to the grocery store (that’s why all those tins of stuffed olives keep cropping up in the fridge.) but, i do keep the financial lessons learnt from my parents fresh in my mind –
i am a bit obsessed with the idea of indoor plants right now. But my mother hates a mess... if you step inside my house - its spacious, for 3/ 5 of us believe in minimalistic living. Ofcourse the other 2 would be my sister - a junk collector and my brother who just happens to find a place for everything outside rather than folding and neatly putting them away inside... anyone have tips for venturing into this territory? nice plants that won’t die too easily… succulents? i do love the look of them, but also don’t want our place to look like a desert garden conservatory. Also being Jain - my mother is strictly against bonsai - which stunts the growth of a normal plant -- also we do get an awful lot of sunlight in most of the flat but unfortunately there are always those crows and pigeons trying to eat their way in..., so i think our future plants would have to be okay with that.and the whole point of telling you about the budget was - she does not want me to buy those plastic pots - she thinks those are expensive - so... Im looking for other ways !!

Chateu de ma reve !!!

Built in a hill-top village, a refuge for lovers of ancient stones…In the early 17th century, the Château de Moissac-Bellevue was a residence dedicated to relaxation, owned by a noble family from Provence. Sober, patrimonial, remarkable, with its monumental entrance, vast drawing-rooms and dining-rooms opening out to the gardens, its imposing kitchen, its bedrooms and bathrooms extending upwards to the attics, the building was rewarded for its exemplary restoration in June 2008 by the “Prix des Vieilles Maisons Françaises” sponsored by Emile Garcin.

Summer Daze !!

All I see is a DAZE -- then will the monsoon comes to wash everything away ? When will it all be fresh and crisp and aromatic ??

Dads are the Original Hipsters !!!

Your dad was a rebel first. He wasn’t no soc, his shirts weren’t emblazoned with the marks of privilege.The other side of the tracks were his right side of them. And on that side of the tracks he built his first car.

It was fast, scary and lose (looking back, maybe he shouldn’t have crafted it after your mom.) He raced, smoked, crashed and re-build that car. The police knew him by name, make and model.

However you’re not a rebel. Your dad rebelled against the system, used the skills he learned building that car and made millions doing it. He gave you a trust fund, pays for your thrift store shopping sprees and puts the ramen in your cabinets. You’re faking a rebellion hipsters. If you think about it, you’re rebellion against a rebel, which makes you mainstream. Guess you just lost your hipster status, sorry.

Your Dad traveled the world with his mate and lived on less than a dollar backpacking equivalent before you did.

You dad played hard core video games before you did !


Your dad tried all the alcohol from all around the world before you did !


Your dad wore really short shorts and can be proven by the tan line really close to his hips before you did !

You dad owned a pair of big headphones before you did !


You dad danced at a weird all night part at a random persons house before you did !


Your dad read comics before you did !


Your dad smoked different things way before you did !


and lastly, your dad drove the mean machine before you did.. !!
