Still on proud-wifey mode: my Arn designed and illustrated these Harajuku-style cartoon characters for a McDonald's Singapore ad campaign promoting seaweed shaker fries and teppanyaki burgers* conceptualized by our good friends Mike and Sheila dela Cuesta of LB Sing late last year. Since it's been 5 months already, I guess ...

If you like wearing, using, or making (and yup, making money off) one-of-a-kind items, check out Etsy, the place to buy and sell all things handmade. I just came from a one-hour ogling spree and if I'm not $10-or-so shipping dollars away, I would've gotten my hands on the following ...

How swiftly time flies! It's once again that time of year when the lot of us are busy making "best of" or new year's resolution lists. As a matter of fact, my Arn and I have this ritual of enumerating highlights of each month by year's end. (It's fun, you ...

Arn and I chanced upon this poster on our way to Katz Deli (when we were in NYC last summer) and I remember us thinking "HOW???" Apparently, to see is to believe. Two nights ago Charles Ross (who happens to be the one man in One Man Star Wars Trilogy) guested ...

Lumiere is open Tuesdays to Sundays, 11am to 9pm. Take a peek when you can. *** If you've been checking the phlog, yes we're back ...

"Building Stories" (or what a building might think if it can). Chris Ware fans (me included, natch) will be happy to know that he has an ongoing downloadable strip at the NYtimes Funny Pages. *** I would love to own everything they sell at Pixel Girl Shop. Check out these goodies: Origami ...

So, like the new look? :D

My StarWars-uber-fan-boy-hubby and I saw the special advanced screening of Return of the Sith last night and *sigh* I couldn't help tearing when the credits started scrolling. Not only does the movie mark Anakin's coming-of-rage, it also put an end to the saga my generation grew up with. Our good ...

Last night -- we had a despedida dinner (*sob*) for one of my bestest friends, Sheila, who along with hubby Mike will be based in Singapore starting next week. (I'll miss you Shei. So I guess Tips and I will just have to use up some miles in order to ...
