The Big Day

     Today's a big day for our family. One of our cousins is getting married. Everyone's excited. I dunno if I feel the same or if I feel nervous. Haha feeling bride :p Will be walking down the aisle too.. as a bridesmaid :p

     Listen to this new song from Taio Cruz. ♥♥♥ I want this song to be in my wedding playlist when the time comes :) Hope my husband-to-be would feel the same and tell the world that he found the girl... :p Haha

Ring, Ring, Ring, Hello, Hello, Hello

     D is practicing his photography (and artistic) skills and I'm always his last-resort-model for practice.

I have been meaning to plan a photoshoot session for him - with a real model, hair and make-up, stylist.. the works! But I can't seem to find time to organize it. If anyone here needs a photographer, let me know  :)

Oh yes! emote kung emote :p

How to Walk in High Heels

     I'm guilty of walking "gripping of the thighs" style. LOL. I should really learn how to walk properly when wearing heels. But some shoes are just too painful and uncomfortable, making you walk weird.  So why wear uncomfortable shoes? Fashion over comfort baby! :p

5,500 years ago

Oldest shoe was found in in the mountains of Armenia (somewhere in Southern Europe)

It is said to be a piece of leather with its front and back laced up

"found in a cave along with other evidence of human occupation. The shoe had been stuffed with grass, which dated to the same time as the leather of the shoe — between 5,637 and 5,387 years ago." - yahoo news (june10,2010)

I'm just glad I live in the 21st century, where shoes already evolved with designs and styles.
