Food and babies and pink cameras

I know the title sounds completely irrelevant to each other but trust me, this has been of great intrigue and amusement to me. I never knew that what you eat can affect whether your baby is a boy or a girl to some extent, amazing!

I was reading this a few days ago: : "Mom's diet may play role in whether baby is boy or girl"
Catch it at Yahoo News http://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/ap/20080425/twl-diet-baby-gender-1be00ca.html

Apparently, people who are trying for a baby can eat higher calorie food and a hearty breakfast including bananas, and not skip meals, will have a higher chance to get a baby boy. In a survey of 700 first-time pregnant mothers in the US, the group which ate higher calories (but still within healthy range) have a 56% chance of getting a boy compared to 45% for the group with mothers who ate less calories. So you want a baby boy, the best bet is to eat more, no dieting!

I've been telling my boyfriend and anyone who asks that i will want to have children in future. A boy and a girl :) It may sound scary to some boyfriends when their girlfriends ever broach this topic because most guys have commitment issues and are scared off easily when the topic of marriage or children ever pops up. But not my bf, and i'm really glad about it because that means he is serious about the relationship for the long run.

Pictures taken some time back in a photo sticker machine :)

I haven't taken any photo stickers since eons ago, so this was really nice but its even before my bf changed his specs, that was HOW LONG ago. Before Chinese New Year. Lol.

Oh yah, i like boys because it'll be so cool if they can become micro-copies of their dad, and a girl because i can doll her up AND teach her the right values (true beauty comes from the inside). In any case, i will also want them to be bilingual, well read, well spoken (as little singlish as possible) and pleasant kids who can hold a thoughtful conversation and make friends with others, rather than the characteristic trait of kids now who prefer to hiding in a corner by themselves to play their little handheld consoles than interact with others. And please, no tuition for every subject, i can't imagine how overworked children nowadays are!

ANYWAY, it's strange that i should write about these things but i'll very much like to be a super mum in future if i do have the chance. :)

And this has caught my eyes and i've been thinking maybe i shouldn't get an ipod nano and instead get my hands on a very very pink digital camera from Sony. It is so pretty it hurts!

I should get going to somehow force the e-commerce lecture notes into my head, it is so boring it HURTS to study it :( And i really should get packing soon, i've packed 70% of the stuff already but its the small things that takes more thought.

The worst is over

Two of my most intensive papers are over, thankfully! They have contributed to a lot of stress within me. Studying for exams is an almost 24hrs minus sleeping and eating 'duty' and i have been eating really unhealthy food such as MacDonalds so that i have a so called license to use their premise to study on an almost daily basis.

I love the Mac Cafe near my house, the music suits me so well it is a great relaxing place to hang out with a book or magazine, slurping a double chocolate frappe ($3.95 for medium) with crushed oreos and chocolate in all forms. The purest of indulgence to me, it is even thicker and more chocolately than Coffee bean's or Starbucks. Super lethal i feel heaty immediately after drinking it. I like their hot chocolate ($3.95 for small) too because they add frothy milk on top with chocolate sauce and powder, and with 2 marshmallows that i always put into the drink. But it is quite sweet and i always feel like i'm due for diabetes if i consume this regularly, it is so bad that i have to add ice water to dilute it. BUT chocolate drinks are food for the soul, it makes you truly happy for a moment :)

Alas, it makes people fat. I totally hate how i look and feel now because eating processed, oily foods always makes me feel disgusted and eeky inside. Even if i don't gain weight, it feels eeky to me so i always prefer healthier but still tasty food. Sigh, i really need to exercise, really really need to move. I will not tolerate fat-ness!

If only i can get myself to move, but there's always excuses. Swimming pool is far away, need to pay money, need to pay for lockers, need a bus/mrt... jogging can be done in the park but i don't like people to see me run and sweat and look terrible, so i always prefer gyms. But again, gyms are not cheap and it can be daunting to go alone. So well, i have a thousand and one excuses. :(

Lastly, should i buy the ipod nano? I'm still deciding. Tough decision!

Craving for an iPod nano

Maybe it is the studying at Mac cafe with nice songs, or my mum's knockoff nano, but i suddenly want one. Want want want one. Irrationally. Especially more when i saw the 3rd generation design, its so sleek, so chic and so pretty! How nice it will be to accompany me on a long plane ride, or exercising, reading and all that. I love music, and i love my classics. The old pops of the 90s, the sentimental songs of the 80s...

It is expensive at approx $270 (retail $318 but i may get special discount) for an 8gb one.. and i have already been thinking what colour to get. Pink or red?

I like this cranberry red color, if what is shown is the true color. But i have an inkling and love for the pretty pink one because it feels so girly. Red feels more sophisticated yet nice, very nice to me. Pleasant to the eyes.



Another plus is the size, its so light and small! Oh well, am i willing to part with $270 for the design? I am going to get it engraved too with "principessa" if i purchase it. But the drawbacks is that there is no FM radio, and no voice recorder. :( The knockoff version have all that, almost same looks but the battery is quite short, 8hrs audio time while the original ipod nano lasts for 24hr and have a fantastic interface.

And i don't want any batteries bursting or exploding in my face. But $64 (fake) vs $270 (original) ???

Maybe i will become terribly irrational, especially in these trying times of exams, and purchase the original... regretting it much later because $270 have become really, really precious to me.

PS: I can't believe i am leaving in 2 weeks and 1 day. I am missing everything, i feel so sad already! :(

No more assignments

After handing in my 14page single spaced Learning Portfolios, i heaved a huge sigh of relief because this marks the last paper i am handing in for this semester. Finally, i can relax for 1 day and start my exam preparation, and packing for my trip. Took back another personal essay on Deforestation and got an A too! :D Very happy.

So i did, and my family and I, along with my bf went to Steward's Riverboat at Marina South Pier for a cosy family dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday on Friday. We ate massively because the portions are humongous. 6 people but i ordered 7 dishes. In the end, we paid about $20 per person but came back super filled to the brim. I love the atmosphere with the calming breeze and breathtaking scenery of the sea, the only gripe is the moving of the boat (slightly rocking) when other boats speed pass. If you're not used to it, you may get motion sickness/sea sick at first, but i've been there like 3-4 times so i'm perfectly tuned to it. :D

We chose stuff from the Baking Bread. Food inspired by the bible. (My phone switched off -low batt- so no pics :( )
- King Solomon's Stew - very good stew naturally sweetened by fruits and really soft chicken thigh meat
- Lamb Kebabs with Pita bread - can't remember the name "Rack of lamb" maybe?
- Promised land - really gorgeous bread with money, milk and vanilla custard -> the land of milk and honey God promised the Israelites
- Giant Goliath Satay - These are super super huge i tell you. You will need 3-4 people to finish. Really Goliath portions, but really delicious!!
- Tex-Mexican Combo- chicken wings in this really special sauce, deep fried chicken w sweet mayo and sour cream, and this mexican taco looking thing that was really good
- Deep sleep ribs - pork ribs that's soft and flavourful

Every dish (almost) came with their special crusty soft bread, some fruits like strawberries or grapes, and salad at the side. Perfect for a one-person meal but sharing is really fun too cos you get to try everything. I always look forward to going there.

On an ending note, my exams have officially started and i have a paper this Saturday. I feel so dead, trying to get into the grilling mood where i study from 10am - 10pm everyday. :(

All my bags are packed except for some clothes, electronics, toiletries and misc stuff. They are super heavy though i have tried and tried to cut down on the amount of clothes and things to bring. I am bringing 8 days worth of casual tops that can be layered with sweaters and jackets for the 2 month cold, 2 dresses, 8 bottoms (2 are for work, 3 skirts, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 shorts) 2 sets of purely cold weather clothes, 2 sets of long johns, and 3 sets of relaxing/lazing/sleeping clothes, 2 sets of swimwear. But i have 6 cardi/jacket/coats in total so that's heavy - Wind breaker, Denim Jacket, Light wool cardigan, Light wool pullover, Thin Fleece jacket, Outer Trench coat with thin inner fleece and hood. Plus scarf, gloves, socks, hat, leggings ... and 3 pairs of shoes - Flip flops, Brown Ballet, Black ballet that is tearing apart soon so i can throw it away and buy new ones once its 'gone'.

And those are not inclusive of the toiletries i am bringing (i have a lot of skincare stuff) or the laptop, camera and hp accessories, batteries and medication and lots of misc stuff (e.g. masks) and 4 bags (i am bringing my Longchamp Le Pliage, CnK Miu Miu inspired bow brown leather bag, Naraya Bow Bag, Fila sports bag in case i want to use it as handcarry and check in my current handcarry...)

AM I OVERPACKING? :( Maybe i should cut down to 2 skirts and 1 dress and 1 swimwear and take away the denim jacket? I think i should since denim jacket won't match my jeans and denim skirt (that is 3 bottoms clash).

I saw these on F21 and will love to get them when i'm there! Especially the second one. I love dresses. ;D

Tea at Ya Kun and Fleas

I hate fleas (the insect) but love fleas (the second-hand treasure trove). Received this in my mailbox about an upcoming flea at House, Dempsey Road. I have personally been to House with my dearest girlfriends Jolly and Anna, and Anna's Baby (her bf Alvin). Haha ;) I love the greenery surrounding the place, and the lovely windows and seats overseeing all that.

Now, if only i can go for this but first, my exams start on the 26th, and i'm on money-hoarding mode to accommodate for my huge shopping and travel spending in the U.S. I am so excited!!! Talking to friends who have made their west coast trips makes me even more excited. I have been told repeatedly by everyone i have talked to about the beauty of San Francisco and this makes me really excited to see it. Currently, i will be staying 2 nights in Los Angeles, with a night at Barstow (factory outlets!) and one in Las Vegas but after my work, we will have 8 days to travel and i really hope to spend more time at San Francisco, maybe 4 nights?

Anyway, i got back my personal tourism paper yesterday and i aced it! I am really really happy, ecstatic about it because it is my first A grade for an individual term paper assignment because usually, my best grades are A- . Secondly, this is a level 4000 Honors Year module and it is my first time taking this, in a class full of the very brainy very intelligent very witty and intimidating (sometimes) Year 4s. :D

Praise be to God and i really thank Him because i have been considering dropping out of the honors year program because i think i am not good enough. Many times, i feel so stressed i rather choose the easy way out, but this is an encouragement to me to get me going. Though we may not know, He has already planned what is ahead of us. I don't know what i'm doing in the Honors program or what i will do next time, but He knows and we can safely believe He will lead us to the path He has set. Be faithful and just pray. :) Blessed Assurance indeed.

So, to celebrate, as well as to wait for the gloomy rainy skies to calm, i treated myself to a nice comforting Teh and Kaya toast in Ya Kun. I love their fragrant Teh, and i love crunchy kaya toast and biting into thin slabs of butter. I took some butter out to prevent from taking in too much fat (its pure gleeful fat) though.


I think it is really important for us to reward ourselves when we have done well, or got through some terribly hard work. I love to give myself little treats when i work, like reading one page of magazine after writing a section of paper, or like this, blogging as form of stress relief after completing one learning portfolio! I have three more to do and the dateline is due tomorrow. Maybe i should paint my nails after completing another portfolio..

xoxo, principessa

PS: I realize i blog more when i'm stressed. I hardly do any updates when i am swept away by happy times.

PPS: My friend Guojie thinks i'm strange to bring my bear to U.S but my bf says I should. As Sophie says: it is better to be comfortable than be afraid of people laughing at you. I'm following what they say, so Chocolate is officially going to the U.S to accompany me and reduce my misery of having to separate physically from my family, home and boyfriend for 2.5 months. We got him a really nice red hoodie trench coat so that he won't be cold in the North Rim. :D I wonder if he needs a passport since he's a bear?

How environmentally friendly is Fashion?

I came across this website when i was researching for my portfolio topic about Environmental Groups in Singapore, in this social group called "Green Drinks" http://www.greendrinks.sg that holds networking sessions over drinks and dinner for environmentalist to discuss about green issues. I dearly hope that one day, I'll be one of the guests dining with these passionate environmentalists and doing my small part to make a difference.

It may be an unrealistic dream, but i have a secret dream to be a fashion designer and a (clothing + beauty + art + food+ furniture and all the pretty things) boutique owner because it combines all my interests - traveling around the world to source for lovely pieces of garments or just anything that catches my eye, in this whimsical, vintage yet modern little shop house. Perhaps magazine shoots can take place, maybe i can even have runway shows and so on. I don't think i'll ever succeed into becoming a fashion designer because i can't design/can't sew but i know something nice when i see it. Of course, that is very subjective because what is beautiful to me may be too much for someone else.

Sigh ;) I love to dream, and seriously i can't exactly imagine myself to be in a boring *yawns* position in some office doing mundane things. Unless of course, it is a job in a magazine like Female! (read http://la-belle-deva.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-love-female.html for the entry on my latest love for Female Mag)

Or unless the job is especially important for a cause i am passionate about -> Environment Sustainability. Perhaps hospitality because i love to meet people, i love to know all about places and traveling. Or something creative like fashion and beauty. But nothing beats my secret dream really. Although the air miles clocked in is actually very very ironic to being environmentally friendly.

Here's something i've been reading. The A-Z of Eco Fashion by The Ecologist (http://www.theecologist.org/archive_detail.asp?content_id=1149 )
It is a good piece of article that educates you on the perils and impacts of fashion from the clothing that you're wearing and how to be eco-friendly.

Some good green fashion practices :)

• Buy Fair Trade Cotton - Topshop has a range, Marks and Spencer too. Triumph has a new eco line of lingerie
  
• Reuse your clothes by selling them at flea markets, auctions or give them away to friends or to the community, join the recycling bag program where they will collect your recyclables on certain dates
• Don't buy on a whim, buy clothes that you will see yourself wearing frequently and can match with other stuff
• Air dry instead of tumble dry your clothes
• Don't iron clothes that clearly don't need ironing
  
• DIY your old clothes to give them a new look!
  
• Support flea markets, thrift and vintage stores such as Salvation Army, Granny Day's Out (Peninsula Plaza) and online communities like Sgselltrade, Ebay for second hand clothes.
  

Finishing off with my favorite picture from Female. This sums up my favorite piece of eye candy for this week.


Whoever made this is brilliant :)

Blueberry Muffins

This is a short update because i'm so busy over writing my 11 pieces of Learning Portfolios. I am pacing myself to do two per day (each is 1 full page, single space) but so far it is failing badly. By the end of today, i should have done six but i've not written a single one except for 2 drafts. :I

Currently, my interest is in baking and making nice food and so far, I've made tiramisu 2 nights ago, and blueberry muffins yesterday. It tastes quite good because the mix is from Betty Cocker but i'm really happy because it's something i've made with Nopp. He was really against baking at first because he thinks its so troublesome and takes a long time but once we got started, he was quite excited and eager to do a lot of things. :)

From Box


To flour


To a fragrant batter


To flat, ugly muffin doughs in the oven (too poor to buy muffin trays)


To yummy blueberry muffins!
Made 14 of these small muffins with a box of mix

Verdict: I love them because they're not artificially sweetened but mildly sweetened by natural blueberries soaked in syrup. Everyone loves what they bake, but its truthfully yummy. ;)

PS: I think I've been eating too much pastry and desserts and fried food from KFC. Opps.

Dancing and tiramisu

After a stressful bout of writing my geopolitics class response paper, i finished it up and submitted it to my lecturer before heading for school for the lecture - its the first time i can enjoy the lecture properly without worrying about datelines. If i may say it, I will rate the geopolitics module as the hardest level 1000 i have taken.

What is geopolitics, you may ask? The way news and mass media (movies, books, songs etc) convey their ideas to us about events in places and spaces (e.g. Iraq war, Vietnam war, Gaza Strip in Palestine and Israel, Bosnia, Cyprus division) is geopolitical. The decision to go to war or not is geopolitical. Diplomacy is geopolitical and so on.Really complex but this module has certainly widened my thoughts about spaces, places, mass media, speeches of politicians and many more. And made me more politically aware and CRITICAL. Very helpful but what a headache to study for exams. :(

Anyway, i had a really good evening yesterday to relax a bit before starting on my Learning Portfolio assignments (i have 11 full pages of reflections to do because i've been procrastinating, which means i got to do 2-3 pieces of work a day. arrCks. I'm so dead because it will be mentally draining to squeeze some good reflections on Environmental Sustainability)

My bf Nopp came to my school yesterday and i got him to try my favourite food from the arts canteen - Japanese set meal and laksa yong tau foo. We ordered a set each, my favourite is my Unagi-Chicken Tamgo set and he tried the seafood tempura set. $4/ set with 3 jelly, a whole lot of meat, japanese rice, coleslaw and miso soup. I love school food, cheap and good and substantial! I kept harping on how nice laksa yong tau foo is so we went to buy a bowl to share... ;)

Then it was dancing at Leng Kee CC. Huge hall but it's a sports hall so the floor is not parquet but still, it's sufficient and smooth enough for dancing. Practiced Viennese Waltz and recalled the whole Waltz routine (havent danced waltz for 1-1.5 years already) amazingly, recalled a very little bit of Cha Cha and Rumba. I think dancing is the best exercise ever and i feel so alive whenever i can dance, its this really amazing feeling. :D

We bought some durains back to his place to share with his family, and i made a tiramisu! First time attempt and i followed this really simple recipe on Youtube from a chinese variety program!



It turns out really well though i substitutes fresh cream for whipping cream, and plain pudding for chocolate pudding, and chocolate sponge cake for coffee sponge cake from Sara Lee as chocolate is sold out!

I just tried it today and it tastes amazing!!!!!! :D But to make 8-9 cups like those shown, it had cost me $15 excluding sugar and chocolate powder. I should have taken a picture of it but i gobbled it up before i remembered, will take a picture next time. Love it, i can finally make something!

April 9 and dance

I'm going to leave in exactly a month's time and i'm already having mixed feelings because i know i'm really going to miss my boyfriend, home and family, familiarity and friends. But i'm very excited too, about the new things i'll see and go through.

I think i'm getting heavier because i haven't been exercising at all except a bit of dance, and that i actually eat more unhealthy food now. What did i eat today?

Brunch with Nopp (yummy):
- Deep fried potato wedges
- 3/4 of a hamburger patty
- 5 mini pancakes from Pitsbury(?) with butter, pork floss and strawberry jam
- 1/2 a cup of soya bean milk
- 1 banana

Tea:
- 1 chocolate waffle
- Ice lemon tea that's freshly made

Pre-dinner snack:
- 1 kiwi
- 1 mini bar of Twix

Dinner (home cooked!)
- Chicken rice type of fragrant rice - mum made this!
- Steamed chicken
- Stir fried Veggies
- 1 cup of Mixed Berry Yogurt


How about yesterday?
Breakfast:
- Cheese Bread
- 1/2 cup of Soya Bean Milk

Lunch:
- Strawberry Puree Juice
- Middle eastern Chicken rice from the hot oven :D superrrrr yummy

Tea:
- 3 pieces of homemade chocolate cookies with pumkin seeds (made by Nely - it tastes like Famous Amos!)

Dinner (At Nopp's place):
- Normal pearl rice half bowl
- 2 pieces of deep fried Ebi Prawns
- Char Siew
- Veggies
- A bit of fried fish
- Very good tonic sweet corn soup
- A bit mixed fruit salad of apple, pear and orange


Reflecting back, the stuff i ate is not too unhealthy but i should cut down on deep fried food and chocolate bars and cookies. And eat more fruits and veggies. :D AND WORK OUT. I bought this new Adidas running shoe since 3-4 days ago and haven't used it yet. I must i must...


Viennese Waltz

The last class was this Monday and its over so soon!! I've yet to perfect my freckle (the turning on the same spot), posture and even my movement was terribly ungraceful on the last class. :( It'll be some time before i can dance again with Nopp with all the exams coming and me having to leave just 1-2 days after exams...

I'll miss dancing so so much.

Here's a picture and video taken by Anna and Alvin for us. Our teacher asked us to record videos so we can recall the steps next time. But i was dancing so horribly but nvm about that, these are the only pictorial memories i have of the 8-week class so it's still precious!

The "check" move. I'm not going to mention the mistakes so nobody will know :D


Anna and Alvin

Showing Natural turn only.

I'll really miss dancing with Nopp :( :( :(

xoxo, principessa

Busy for so long!

So many things have passed and it's already April :O I thought i was still in March! I've been so busy..

The last Viennese Waltz lesson is this Monday, but i'm still having problems with dancing the freckle(??) whereby after dancing 2 rounds, we have to dance towards the centre of the hall and spin around. I heard that some couples take up to 2 years to perfect this! Well, i'm having problems with it because i'm can be a really slow learner when it comes to complicated steps. It's not just turning round and round, it's turning round and round with the right steps in perfect unison with your partner and music. AND not feeling dizzy and fainty at the end of turning so many rounds.

A video is the best way to illustrate this. :) Anyway, i love the Viennese waltz, and just any form of ballroom.



The interesting thing about the Viennese Waltz is that there's a total of 7 variations only, unlike other ballroom dances with hundreds of possible variations. There's just one way to dance the Viennese waltz whether you're a beginner or a professional. What differentiates is the quality of your dance :D

Some tips i have to write down before i forget.
- Hold lightly, as light as possible on your partner's hands so you won't weigh each other down
- Move your body together, not your legs.
- Don't look at the floor ceiling or partner, look around the room but don't dart your eyes around and move with your eyes moving along, or else you'll certainly feel dizzy. Look at fixed points.
- Always wind your body and you'll have a great turn

Anna's Birthday
Anna's birthday party was a success! A small group gathering with a mix of guests. =) Had lots of fun there with the games that we played.. Dog and Bone and Ice Man in the kids swimming pool. Even my boyfriend was really enthusiastic as he is normally shy with strangers, that's really his true self. He's shy with people initially but once he opens up, he's really really fun and goes all out to participate. Especially in games. He loves them.

Grace baked a yummy-O oreo cheesecake for Anna and we girls (Grace, Grace, Nopp, Grace's bf) crowded around to decorate it with whipcream to make it nice before Anna and others see it.

We're supposed to wear swimsuit or wet-worthy clothing there so i wore my new Juicy Couture inspired eyelet bikini, it's really beaachy when paired with a floral babydoll spaghetti strapped top and mini skirt. Anna and Grace both wore their bikinis in their tops. I think i won't wear my Juicy bikini anymore though cos the cut isn't very good, i tried on Miss Triumph's one at Tangs the other day (can i just gush about their lingerie/swimsuit fitting room??? TANGS HAVE IT ALL, the dream of all dreams fitting room that's fit for a princess! Smart them, makes me want to spend money because the lighting and decor just slowly seduce your money away.) and that was really really good. Well fitting, safe and you know it won't drop off cos Triumph is a major lingerie company, they have to make good supports and well structured stuff!

So i'm really dreaming of buying the nautical 2 piece white and navy bikini with 2 really nice tie-bows at the bottom... costs $99 though so i didn't, in the end. I probably won't dare to wear it out to swim like that but it's nice for beach BBQs or parties when paired with a nice top. The support is sooo good that it's fantastic as a travel bra cum swimsuit. When we travel, we just want things to dry fast..and swimsuit material stuff dries really fast!

Travel Plans so far
I am planning the itinerary for our 3 days 2 nights in LA so here are the places i'm going to visit before moving on to Barstow (in b/w LA and LV) and Las Vegas. It'll be quite rush as we only have 5 days to travel before starting work at Grand Canyon.. but there'll be another 8-9days of travel after work to San Francisco :)

Where I'm planning to visit in LA:
- Getty Museum (Free entrance, most fabulous museum in LA with great architecture, beautiful gardens, avant garde furniture and fantastic art pieces with some popular paintings)
- Melrose Avenue (Counter culture place in LA where all the freaks and interesting people are, eccentric quirky shops)
- Santa Monica Boulevard (Shopping and street sight seeing)
- Hollywood Boulevard and Farmers' Market
- Rodeo Drive (celebrities celebrities)
- Driving through Beverly Hills (who can miss this? Maybe i can spot some celebrity coming out of their homes)
- Not sure about the Avenue of the Stars, i find seeing stars' handprints boring
- Venice Beach Broadwalk (Great nightlife and interesting buskers)
- Universal Studios (Spending one full day there. Behind the scene movie sets, and all sorts of stuff)

We'll probably be staying in Banana Bungalow Hostel in Hollywood http://www.bananabungalow.com/ cos it's the cheapest, about 20USD/night and it's geared at backpackers and students. Free breakfast, BBQ, coffee and tea all day...and can you believe it? Free themed parties!!! Ahahahha. Amazing. It's so American to party anywhere, i'm not sure if the people are decent though. :S Better not go to late night parties or drink anything there, too dangerous!!

By the way, since my boyfriend can't go, i'll definitely miss him badly. So we've decided that i should bring Chocolate along.. I even bought him a new Hoodie sweater from the bear shop in Esplanade so he won't be cold in the North Rim.

Currently, he's wearing a Grey teeshirt i made out of my bf's old NS exercise shirt. :)

Okay, i got to do my masks and start my work. Sooo busy.
