It's a Slumdog year alright! Congratulations to the entire Slumdog team. My favorite movie of the year is bringing home a bunch of Oscars. Much deserved.
Saw this movie with my siblings last Christmas. And we all thought it was soooo good. Considering how diverse our movie preferences are, this is an amazing consensus!
Btw, the image above is from Vanity Fair.
Time for more inspirations! One can never get too much inspiration in a day. :)
Plus it's snowing today! That is another inspiration for me! ;)

Can't believe 2009 is here! Wasn't it just yesterday that I started going back to school at the beginning of 2008, all excited and happy to finally be on the path to do what I love? Well 2009 is here and the road to "happiness" continues. Just started my web design program at Sessions in October 2008 and things are going along fabulously so far! School means less travels, less free time, less sleep, and less play funds ... but in the same token, I'm having a ball!
Happy 2009! Hope you too are on the path to something or someone you love. Life's too short and money can't buy happiness. Never have I seen that as clearly as now. :)
Before we talk about winter, I'd like to share this one tip for all of us foodies out there. Never go to a Japanese restaurant without ordering tempura. That's my rule. Because the one dish that you can always count on to be conSIStently good, no matter where you're dining, is tempura. My favorites are zucchinis. They hit the spot every time!
It's been cloudy and cold all week and we (in the office) all wish it would just snow a good storm. That would make everyone so blissfully happy. We have this conversation about snow all the time in the elevator, and it always ends with ... "oh I wish it would snow a big one tonight!" Give us 2 feet of white fluffy flakes and a couple of days off to cocoon at home catching up on Netflix movies and magazines.
Last Sunday, I burned our last 3 logs of firewood trying to stay warm while working on the computer. I think winter is finally here ... time to take out the Christmas tree. I'm so late putting it up this year. December comes way too fast while I'm still in October mode.
Something so beautiful must be shared. Check out these gorgeous whimsical illustrations by eendar. :)
... to be a part of all this.

if you're ever in woodstock, vermont, pack a couple bottles of water, put on your best hiking shoes, and climb mt. tom. somewhere up there is the most beautiful view of the valley below, but of course it's all about the journey and not just the destination.
lucky me, i got to hike mt. tom with my friends one autumn afternoon last year. nothing like spending time in nature! it gives you a whole new perspective on things, and hands down the best way to destress. also, being in woodstock, "the prettiest small town in america" (according to ladies' home journal magazine) also helps!
happy hiking!
