The Big One

One year ago, today, I started writing Under A Paper Moon, and, looking back, part of me can't believe it's already been a year, while another part feels as though it's been much longer. Life is the same and very different too.

Mark Burstyn

One year ago, E and I were in the midst of a major life transition (admittedly, a transition we are still making.) At the end of E's second deployment and as his mandated time of active duty service was drawing to a close, we made the difficult decision to trade our military life for a civilian one.

A lot of life, for me, was spent looking ahead during that time. "When, when, when" chorused through my head often. When E gets home. When we figure out what is next. When we get settled again.

Writing a blog, where I could share my love of all aspects of design, revolved around one of those whens; I imagined once we were finally settled into the next chapter of our lives, I would begin writing, as I'd imagined doing almost since the first day I discovered the world of blogs.

I started planning for the moment that "when" would arrive. I contemplated names. Content. Features. I felt I needed everything to be thoroughly mapped out, to know each step I'd take, and the direction where I'd steer my blog before I began writing.

E's job search took longer than we'd anticipated, and, as life seemed even less certain, suddenly, I found myself faced with the realization that I needed to do something for me in the present.

Not "when," but now.

Life wasn't settled as I'd imagined it would be, nor did I have a completely clear picture of the road map for my blog. But, with E's encouragement, I simply began.

Although, this summer, I've been looking forward to this anniversary at the "end of August," today arrived with less fanfare than I'd planned, mostly because as life continues to whiz by, this first anniversary arrived much sooner than I expected!

Now, here I am, one year to the day and 245 posts since my very first one, and I'm feeling rather unprepared.

There is so much I couldn't have anticipated on Day 1, not least of all, the people I would meet through blogging. Whether we've met in real life or only talked through emails and comments, I've encountered so many warm, kind, and talented people since starting my blog and that has surely been the biggest unexpected joy of this whole experience.

I've been lucky to have support and encouragement from my family, especially E who has listened to all the ups and downs I've encountered while navigating this path, and for them, I am truly grateful.

I am also extremely grateful to all of you who, in a very busy world, carve out time to read, comment and share bits of yourself with me here; thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope you'll join me as I venture into the second year of Under A Paper Moon.

How Much Hair Should I Lose Each Day?

How Much Hair Should I Lose Each Day?

Hair loss is a normal occurrence throughout our lives. In fact, you may not know that you are supposed to be losing an average amount of hair each day. If you are noticing a few extra hairs in your daily shower, you may want to take a look into this simple hair loss guide. It has been medically proven that you are meant to lose an average of 6 hairs each day. This of course, does not mean that you need to pull 6 hairs out of your head each day. You will start to notice a couple of hairs in your shower. Sometimes you may not even feel anything at all when you lose a hair. Now, there is nothing to be too concerned with, if you are losing a little bit more. But those who are losing a significant amount fast should seek some sort of treatment. There are plenty of hair loss treatments that you can take a look into using. Simply see your doctor and find out what they might recommend. Losing a few hairs here and there is nothing to be worried about. Make sure to keep an eye on your hair loss count. This will help you determine the rate that you are losing hair. If you would like to prevent hair loss, then seek out a professional or a product to help you out. Do not fret about 6 measly hairs falling out of your head each day!

Whale of a Tale

While their preppy brethren are often adorable (as evident here, here, here and here,) I've found myself rather smitten with more nautical and slightly serious portrayals of whales.

I've had a crush on this sweet guy for months now; I think what I adore most are his little teeth! With a $12,000 price tag, this antique weathervane won't be mine, but I do hope he finds a very happy home.



Also, for some whale artwork that would look perfectly at home in a little boy's bedroom, look here and here.

♥ ♫ ARCTIC MONKEYS new album, Humbug.



HELL YEAA!!
The King Band of Indie.. Arctic Monkeys new album is officially released TODAY. August 24th 2009.
EXCITEDD!!


me & my bf are their HUGE fans.
my bf ordered their original CD straight from their official website & will be imported from Europe!
i can't wait.. but the package have not come yet until now. huhuu :[


well the album is Co-Produced by Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) & said to be inspired by the albums of Black Sabbath.
so it should & suppose to be good.


as for my personal review as a BIG fan, i think this album is not as 'kicking' as their last 2 album.
maybe i'm just not used to the new songs yet or i'm not used to their new exploration either.
although, it's not a dissapointment at all.
AM is still AM with their genius thoughts of music.


for those of you that have not heard their music at all, i strongly recommend you to listen!
they are totally awesome!
:]


RECOMMENDATION TRACK : Crying Lightning, Secret Door.


Jadi, menurut kalian??

Weekend Escape

After discovering this morning that E's car was broken into and vandalized overnight, I can't say the day transpired the way I'd imagined it would. I can say with certainty, however, we are now ready for the weekend to begin!

Tim Marsella

We're heading out of town for a couple days with friends, where we will be soaking in the warmth of these late summer days while lazily floating down a river.

Chris Craymer

With the busyness of life as of late, a getaway, albeit a short one, where our main concerns are whether we've applied enough sunscreen and brought enough to drink sounds extremely refreshing. Barring any other small setbacks, I hope that is exactly what we find the weekend holds.

Kate Powers

We may be departing later than we intended, but I think I may be looking even more forward to our arrival now. With this group, I know lots of laughs will surely be awaiting us, and I'd say laughter and the company of friends is a fitting end to long day and a perfect way to officially kick off the weekend.

Sasha Eisenman

Whatever your plans are this weekend, I hope it is filled with merriment and laughter! See you next week.

the antibiotics that i had to took once a day it's torturing.
the injections.. the medicines.. the ultrasound tests.
they even put CUTTONBUD through my neck to checked whether i have the virus of H1N1 or not. not only once, but THREE TIMES!
Thank GOD, ALHAMDULILLAH i don't have any dangerous viruses.
just a normal fever.


unfortunately i also have Anemia & Lack of Liquid on my body.
so they gave me a bit treatment to cure those two.
Anemia has been going on on me since middle-school, i hate it.
i hope i will be totally heal someday, AMIN.

♥ Equator Prom Night 2009

Friday, 14th August 2009.
went to Equator Academy of Art Prom Night!!
since i am a guest or an outsider to the school, i have to buy a ticket for RM80 (Rp.240rb)
it was held at The G Hotel, which is a 5 star hotel in Penang. it was suppose to be held by the pool, it was all set & i even had a few sodas for starter until it rained that the party has to move to the ballroom.
the buffee was nice but i wasn't feeling well that night so i didn't take much food.


apparently, Hney hahaa (My Boyfriend) was chosen to be one of the candidate of the Prom King.
he was the candidate no.1
he had to perform some talent in order to compete.
he could have chosen football freestyle which i think is so cool but he chose to sing & play guitar instead.
he performed 'Last Request by Paulo Nutini'.
that night he was soo nervous that he was out of tunes for a little bit, but it's all good.. at least he had fun. :]
he didn't win though. :[


i'd post his video performing the songs later okkkk...............




now here's some pics from the night..
sorry because the pics are blurred & lack of quality.
i only took it with my E71 because we were so busy that we forgot to take a formal pictures.
hikss.


















(Floral Corset : TOPSHOP)
(Wavy Black Skirt : Thai University Uniform)
(Thong Heels : VnC)
(Red Classic Flap Bag : Chanel)
(Accessories : JJ Market, Bangkok)


as for what i wore, the theme was FLORAL & it was suppose to be the party by the pool that's why i didn't wear any long formal dress.
i decided to go casual because it was a casual prom night.

The seemingly mundane tasks of fastening a hook and buttoning a button are elevated to something much sweeter in these wonderfully delicate photos, and I love the tenderness that is captured in each one.

Emerald City

I am smitten with this necklace and ring; the combination of emerald green and gold in these pieces has me hooked! I think they would pair beautifully together and would love to see them as a set.

To the Birthday Boy

E isn't overly keen on birthday's, more specifically his own, but I, however, love a good birthday celebration-- especially those for my family and friends! Perhaps it is because I came into this world on a day people across the globe celebrate, but I think birthday's are certainly occasions for rejoicing.

Melissa Punch

Take today. This day is an important one to me because it is the day E was born, an occasion for which I am truly grateful. Cheesy? Perhaps. But very true. I hope you all will indulge me as a take today to wish E a very Happy Birthday!!

De-frizzing Your Hair

De-frizzing Your Hair - Fall Winter 2010 Long Hair Tips

When the monsoon season starts to come around, the last thing you want is to be outside. When it rains, that precipitation will then become humidity. When the humidity occurs, most women tend to experience frizzy or even flat hair. Luckily for you, there are ways to get rid of all of that frizz! If you have naturally curly hair, then you know all about frizz. In order to get rid of the frizz, you should look into de-frizzing products.
These products can come in the form of a spray. Once you do your hair you simply spray this product on much like hairspray. As the day wears on, try to notice if the frizz is still there. Chances are, if your hair is not driving you crazy, your de-frizzing investment has worked! You might also think about straightening your hair. Once you straighten your hair, you can then put it up into a ponytail. This will definitely maintain that frizz and keep it under control. Keep in mind, ponytails can be the cause of some damage to your hair. Make sure that you use the ponytail as less as possible. Frizz does not have to be something that you simply put up with. If your are tired of your frizz, get with your stylist! They should have a wide selection of products and treatments for frizz. You might even be able to find more products online. Take a look right now and see what you can do in order to de-frizz your hair!

{Early} Moments- Makeup

Before my first semi-formal dance in high school, my mom insisted on taking photos of me putting on my make-up. Although I went along with it, I didn't understand why she wanted to capture those images; once the film was developed, however, at the risk of sounding vain, I had to admit there was something intriguing about having documented those moments of preparation.

I love seeing photos capturing the early moments of a wedding day; the moments spent getting ready for the big event. Moments that are surely filled with anticipation, excitement, and nerves. Moments that are sometimes spent alone and often spent surrounded by friends and family.

To start the next installment in the Moments series, {Early} Moments, I'd like to share these beautiful images of brides in the midst of their big day beauty routines.
