Buzz at the Bazaar

 

Barely can open my eyes, when I arrived home from the bazaar yesterday.  It was so tiring, not just from the selling day itself but more to the preparation that went into it.

Haven't fully recovered until now though. The Dutch Ambassador's wife opened the event. It was a fun experience albeit all the stress that goes into it. No pain, no gain :)

My first ever bazaar

I'm quite excited.

My first ever participation in a bazaar.

If you happen to be in Jakarta, don't miss the Tulip Bazaar at the Erasmus Huis (Dutch Embassy) in Kuningan this coming Saturday, December 11.

This is an annual bazaar visited by expats and Indonesians alike. 

Will post pics of my experience. Wish me luck.

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me...

The countdown begins... 

I know, it's not yet 12 days but for me, we're almost there.

Time to do the Christmas shopping at etsy! 

Check out my latest treasury...

Happy Times

University days...

Don't we all just love to reminisce?

I had a blast and it was such a fantastic experience. 

This  UPLB bracelet is a tribute to my alma mater.

"University life won't be so full of joy if not for this campus. The environment was so carefree, green and fresh. Youthful vibe can be felt all around." 

On a hindsight, I was actually in a boarding school during my secondary and tertiary education. That's why it was all the more memorable. 

How can I forget where I used to go for my physical education class? Nowadays, my exercise is going from one meeting to another! hahaha!

Walking around the halls while running to meet all my deadlines. Fave subject: broadcasting. I had my own radio show! Beat that! :P

I just love the carefree feeling of my campus. 

 Life was so much simple then. You don't even need a car to move around.

Towering Kuala Lumpur

In my life story,  I can definitely say that I did live with Petronas Tower!

Those who are not familiar with Asia might be wondering where is this tower located. Ladies and Gents, KLCC (name known to residents) can be found in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

I saw this building almost everyday coz my Client's head office is located there. I was first in awe at the structure but the more I see it, the less amazing it becomes. The familiarity finally sets in. 

My KL necklace was inspired by the towering iconic structure.

As described in my shop. "Black beads, freshwater pearls and oxidized metal featured prominently in this long necklace. Worn great as a standalone necklace and packs a meaner punch when worn as a layer. A lovely flower toggle clasp softens the look."

Just a few kilometers off the city center is the residential area. I lived before in this huge apartment overlooking the golf course. Now I miss this temporary home the more. I used to wake up to the sound of the birds chirping. Now in Jakarta, I hear honking cars! 

Not too far from my abode, was the administrative center of Putrajaya (Washington to you Americans).

Rain Rain Go Away!

It's not supposed to be rainy season in Indonesia. Then how come, it's raining everyday? 

I love rain when I'm at home reading a good book.

And I hate it, when I'm out driving!

Anyway, to release the stress I decided to make a treasury. Check it out!

Milan on Treasury!

It was as a good day yesterday.

 My Milan bracelet was included in two lovely treasuries.

Here's the description on my etsy shop.

"Imagine being invited to Milan's fashion week. Having that 'it' dress sewn by a famous Milanese designer. As you walk along Via Montenapoleone to check out one atelier after another, you bumped into the world's most fashionable people."

  

First as part of the collection for "A Birthday Hello to my sister".

Then, it was  featured at "Gems Around the Globe".

Thank you Greene Stitches!
