Because YOLO!

Ended a busy day with a lovely dinner with the best friend and, again, dreaming of Europe.

lunchtime wanderings

Went for a walk today with a friend during lunch time, came back puffing and sweating. The bridge over the water was up, so we had to wait, and that's when I took today's photo (the dark portion is what you walk on).

ho ho ho

A rough drawing I did this morning for work. This is going to be re-drawn on the computer. Santa wears a singlet, shorts and jandals as it's summer during Christmas here in New Zealand. :-)

Do you think Santa's ready for Baywatch? XD

werkkkk

Aaaand the holidays are over.

Lazy hangout

It was a lazy, summer, hang out with your best friend kind of a day. We went to an Italian place for brunch and then sipped cocktails (or mocktails, in my case) and dreamt of going to Europe.

This here photo is of the wall in one of the bathrooms - the whole thing was made up of cassette tapes!

blooms

A trip to the plant store always fills me up with joy :D

p.s.: Posting from the phone for the first time!

a summer's day

January 2nd was warm and gorgeous. Wildflowers were picked, ice-creams were had, and we even lost a member of our bush walk group for a bit.

Cheers to the new year!

Have a happy and safe 2015, dear readers. And here's to the New Year, with kiwifruit wine :-)

p.s.: This is actually yesterday's post, which I'd posted elsewhere... so shhh, I wasn't late!

What Am I?

If you guess it correctly, you get leprechaun gold ;)

pink lace

I'm obsessed with lace. All sorts of lace, in all sorts of pastel colours. And when I find ruffled lace in one of my favourite colours, pink (the other favourite colours are gold, white, and purple, but you didn't really need to know that now, did you?!), I am in lace heaven and can't resist buying it. 

So after I bought this particular ruffled pink lace, I decided that I couldn't just stare at it for eons, and that I needed to do something with it. So I took a vintage gold photo frame, and started layering the lace inside it. Then I stuck it on my wall, so everyone can have a nice gawk at it too. I think it's turned out fabulously. 

Yay for DIY projects, yay for lace and a special yay for Tupu Sawant, the winner of our April 2011 photography contest!

p.s.: This is the second-to-last post from all the girl-week posts. The last one will be a photo of a corner of my room.

exciting new feature!

Kunal and I are really impressed with our readers' initiative of taking photos and sending them to us. In fact, we enjoy it so much, that we're going full force with it. Here's the details:

We are starting a photography contest for our readers. All you have to do, is send us photos that you take. We will publish the best photo from all the entries received in a particular month. So, a best photo from all the ones submitted from the 1st of April till the 30th of April will be published before 7th of May. And so on, and so forth. The winning photo, as well as the runners up will be published on our facebook page, and will bear a watermark of your name.

Send us your photograph at a.photo.a.day.gk@gmail.com, with "contest submission" as the subject. Please be warned that spam mail will be automatically deleted.

So, what are you waiting for?! Start sending!

flowers for you :)

It's my turn to share some flowers with you, our lovely readers :) I am sorry I could not continue with girl week, I had to give priority to some other things first.

But no matter, I am here now, and I will post as much of those photos as I can, soon.

I wish I could grow a garden of peonies (the pink flower in the photo), but sadly, they only grow in areas with extreme cold/where it snows. :( So I have to make do with the fake version. 

But I think it is just as beautiful as the real thing.

girl week ;)

As Kunal is off attending to his studies, I will be posting throughout the week. You will see here a volley of photographs containing flowers, lace, glitter, and the sort. Rest assured, I will try to reduce the sugariness of it all and try to make them interesting.

This is me experimenting with Canon 5D. A stunning camera that I am still trying to figure out. These frilled marigolds are from my gran's garden. Aren't they lovely?!

new identity!

Hey guys, as you may have noticed on our facebook, we have a new logo (that we will incorporate on this blog, soon)!

Smile, you're on candid camera!

So, were any of you lot fooled on April 1st? This prank was all over facebook... and these were the top ten pranks of 2011.

I have to say, though, I sort of believed in Magic Dice even though I was a bit skeptical... :P I pranked two people successfully (one of them was our Kunal ha ha ha!!). If you want to whip up a quick prank, try this one that I did last year! Works like magic ;)

p.s.: Guys, if you're interested in artsy, craftsy inspiration, please check out my blog or my facebook!

wandering

wandering in the city sure can surprise you, just like kunal said. you might just come across a statue sneakily trying to move things around!

happy wanderings everybody!

summer fun

endless hours spent dawdling in your backyard, playing with your sibling, beneath the trampoline.

a day of mist

Ha! And I bet you thought I was gone! No, peoples, as I acquired a camera recently, I have indeed been taking photographs this week. Heck, I took about 400. (although it was for an assignment). So, yes, you will be hearing from me from time to time. 

Without further ado, my photo of the day:

Recently, I got to explore a wonderful beach. It was drizzling that day, and a beautiful mist had accumulated by the time we got there. The rain also meant that the beach was deserted, and it was just perfect, in a way. This type of weather reminds me of The Famous Five (have you read them? Are you a fan?). I was just waiting for smugglers to pop out of the mist. Haha.
