Tagged: Show My Workspace + Love and Peace Meme

I got tagged by my sweet friend Christine to show my workspace. At first I was like, "OH NO! My space is so messy... there is crap everywhere; should I clean it first?", then I thought I should just keep it as is to show the real thing. So here they are; click to see bigger images:

This is my home studio (the embarrassingly messy one). I don't work at that big table too much, only when I need to. (Especially it's always freezing cold in the winter since it's right next to the patio door... very drafty, I just doodle on my couch or in bed instead.) Behind that table is my computer desk; that's when I blog and do my digital works.


The second group of photos are my space at work, my full time job. I am here 80% of the time and I do lots of works (which I can't post on my blog). I really love my office; it's warm, it has great lighting, plus there are people around me all the time that I can chat and joke with while I work. I try really hard to keep this little space neat and clean.


Here are some stuff I display in my office...



Now I'm usually hesitant when it comes to tag other people since everybody's so busy, but it's so fun and inspiring to look at another artist's workspace, so I am gonna tag three people; hopefully they will want to play along. I tag: Bob, Maura and Kelly. Guys, it's up to you if you want to play along and if you want to tag other people! : )


I've also been tagged by Zari (who created this beautiful image and message) and Aspa on this Love and Peace meme. But instead of tagging other people, I would just ask all of you who's reading this to take some time to think about love and peace, pray for countries that are facing troubles and for those people you love and those you don’t. We are all in this world together, as one big family.

Tagged: My Top 25 Favorite Movies

I was tagged almost 2 weeks ago by sweet and very talented Kelly to post about my top 25 favorite movies. I told Kelly that I am not an avid movie goer at all, and I go to the theater about twice a year, so I might have a hard time to come up with 25 movies. But actually, it was easier than I thought (as a matter of fact, I even had to eliminate a couple of movies from my list). I don't necessarily remember the stories in all these movies, but they are definitely the ones that pop in my head right away. So here they are, in alphabetical order:

After Life
Akira Kurosawa's Dreams
Amelie
Castle In The Sky
Chocolat
Cinema Paradiso
Fireworks
Frida
Grave of the Fireflies
Hero
Il Postino
Kiki's Delivery Service
Kikujiro
Love Actually
My Neighbor Totoro
Nacho Libre
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Princess Mononoke
Shall We Dance (Japanese Version)
Spirited Away
That's the Way I Like It
The Road Home
Under The Tuscan Sun
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Woman On Top

I've been tagged...

...by sweet Christine to write 5 random/weird things about myself. Even though I have posted 7 random things about me before, I decide to do this one again with 5 more facts to entertain you. Here they are:


#1: I have taken flamenco dancing lessons for more than 2 years, and I have danced in front of people in a restaurant...
#2: I have a lot of grey hair (I started turning grey since high school) and I don't color my hair because I am too lazy to maintain it, plus it might takes me 5 bottles to color my giant head...
#3: When I use a straw to drink, I always bite the tip of the straw until it's totally flat.
#4: I love polka dots and scalloped edge, as you might be able to tell already.
#5: I love to know how things are made. I would learn it, and then I move on to the next thing.

Now, here are the rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well
as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

The following folks: Aspa, Maura, Kelly, Amy and Mush, get ready to be my next victims...heehee...

Tagged! 7 random things about me...

I got tagged while reading artist Anne-Julie Aubry's beautiful blog "Ma Petite Theiere". Obviously, this game has been going around in the blog world and I thought it would be fun to do cause this gives me a chance to really think about what a weirdo I am. So here they are... the seven little things about me:

The real rules of this game are (only if you want to follow):
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about YOU: some random, some weird… all devastatingly interesting.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

I am too lazy to tag 7 people plus it's too limiting, so I tag anyone who is reading this and want to play! Hee hee! And let me know if you are playing... I'd love to read about your 7 little quirks too!
