the Blunt Umbrella

I think this is just what I need in this time of day.

You know that the Earth is getting hotter, and the nice and warm sunshine can be merciless to your skin by inflicting *God forbid* skin cancer. *shivers*

That's why I always carry my trusted umbrella in my bag, and use it EVERYWHERE. I may look uncool or oh-so-granny-like, but one thing I know, it will be even more un-cool if I have skin cancer! :P

So..

This is just what I need. :)
A Blunt Umbrella!





You know how the sides of your umbrella can actually "poke" someone in the face? :D
Ah, with this cool invention, worry not people, poke no more! And we can keep on using our umbrellas everywhere without worry of hurting other people. :D

Nice! :)

Video of the Day : The Third & The Seventh

I don't really understand the correlation between the title of this short movie with the movie itself, but what I do know that this is one MAD piece of art!

Every scene is so pretty, and carefully proportioned.
And I should also warn you, bear in mind that none of what you about see is real footage! This isn’t VFX, it’s fully created with a mix of 3dsmax, Vray, After Effects, and Premiere.

And all by one person, Alex Roman *hand clapping sound fx* :D

It's just amazing. How reality can now LITERALLY being manufactured.
So who actually knows what's wrong and what's right? Or what's true and what's lies in this world?? *sigh*

Anyway...



Enjoy!! :D

Sushi Etiquette

This is a true lifesaver! :D

Now you know what to do when you're invited to a hip sushi bar.
Turns out that I still did few of the things in the "DON'T" list, like mixing the wasabi with the soy sauce :D

unico.world : real women of the world by Eliana Lorena

I think this is the real Barbie dolls that should be on sale in the world market. To let little girls aware and embrace our cultural differences instead of dwelling in the superficial consumerism.. :)

Unfortunately these darling dolls only sold in an auction by Sotheby's at Palazzo Vecchio, Florence in November to support the 'Save the Children' organization.

Video of the Day : Eike König Interview

This video of the day is also inspiration of the day.
It's very healthy for a designer to talk about their design; and to talk with other designer, sharing thoughts and ideas.

And it's very inspiring to see this interview, and see this cool German graphic designer approach their design; and what kind of work ethics did they have.

It makes me realize the true joy and meaning in being a designer. :) And the way he describes a person getting caught up in their computer-work and chatted on internet messenger or Facebook, it's exactly like me! *LOL* :-S
