Fabulous, to say the least. My score, however, was a far cry of despair compared to what I used to score three years ago, my bad. I put pistol shooting on pause for the past 3 years, mainly because it had lost it's novelty, and lack of competition combined with an escalating ladder of responsibilities at work left me little room to practice and landed me a not-bad-but-not-satisfactory-either result of 89%. It was the biggest ego deflator, the worst part of it? my colleagues where there to witness it lol Whilst waiting in the gallery for my turn, a group of men who sat by one another having a conversation as they waited for their turns too, I couldn't help but notice how girl-conversations differ (I wasn't evesdropping, they were just plain loud). And omy? Men, are so much funnier than girls! Despite the fact that my colleagues and I were quite far away, I had to constantly bite my lower lip to inflict pain to restrain my laughter, they were just hilarious! I kept tik-tiking away on my blackberry, looking like my life depended on it (well.. it does, in a way) tweeting and msging loulou simultaneously. Anyways, I read an announcement that's keeping me on my toes till next September; Mansour bin Zayed brings the British Queen's Household Cavalry to Abu Dhabi at the hunting exhibition in September. Brilliant! One of the many reasons why we love Mansoor <3 -- Read full story. The Household Cavalry is a country’s most elite or historically senior military groupings or those military groupings that provide functions associated directly with the Head of state. (read more here) -- My trainer had been invited by the household cavalry a few years ago, and when I saw the photos, I remember thinking: those horses are fabulously beautified! Everything was paid attention to, ..to the smallest details. The bridles, the bits, the saddles, ..everything! Absolutely gorgeous <3 Cheering for more horsie events in Abu Dhabi and signed with love, lots of love x Labels: Birkin, Pony Tales $4 in my moola box | link | email this post Feliz Año Nuevo            Saturday: It took 10 hours of blissful sleep, and fresh cheese, egg white, & rucola sandwich to ignite the inspiration (& energy) to re-model the studio; and after a series furniture swapping and shuffling, I found the right setting. The new setting requires no orchid plants (but I still like the idea!); it uses the minimalist's approach to interior design: clean shapes, less accessories, & less clutter -- the only clutter I'd have to live with are the springs and straps of my reformer and cadillac. The day before that: My first session on a cadillac, and I can tell you this: it was FUN! -- ever since I was little I had a thing for 'hanging' from places. At the age of 5 through 10 it was the swing's horizontal pole that I enjoyed hanging from upside down, I never understood back then why when I was 5 I was farther away from the ground and my hair never caught the dirt from the floor; eventually, I grew beyond our swing's capacity. Later I ventured into the joy of jumping -kamikaze style, if I may add- from the closet on to a bed with ample spring potential. It was my very own primitive version of a trampoline, dangerous but fun. At one point, I decided to make the same jump, except this time the bed was not my landing spot (yes, exactly what you're thinking) I landed on the floor, broke a leg, and the rest was history. Since then, I haven't come near 'hanging' toys, even though deep inside I always found a joy in watching acrobatic movements & secretly wished I -too- could hop around like that, but no, with my bone-breaking track record (the same leg 3 times, & an arm once) I couldn't afford breaking anything but the temptation. At last, a safer substitute with added benefits.   Tuesday: I received these two pictures from my sister in law with the caption "Checking your website, ..every detail" -- I thought it was the cutest thing a niece could do lol, *muah to Alia <3 (who's probably reading this now too lol) One year ago I've established my philosophy of No-Resolutions, a mere mention of gaps that needed bridge without committing to a timeline, ..let's revisit, shall we?
3 out of 5, that's 60% in one year (I didn't commit to a time frame, remember?). For this coming year, I'm hoping to become better at professional pilates, school at the Le Cadre Noir Du Saumur, make the most out of outdoor activities in this time of the year, find this, and get this pair of louboutins, spend as MUCH time as possible with JeAnne for the next 6 months..get ideas for Sultan's birthday cake/gift, and more importantly: post those mornings thoughts I get and never get around expressing them on my blog because by the time my day ends, I'm too tired to visualize anything but the bed. Here's to Love, Here's to Fabulousity, Here's to you x Labels: Birkin, Deco, Pilates Heroine $7 in my moola box | link | email this post It's Own Label I realized after many Hermes induced posts, both the brand & the bag ought to have their own labels, & that's just what I did. Today, I came across this video & found so much pleasure watching it & secretly envying their blue-collar workers for spending so much time in the presence of all that Porosus Australian crocodile skin -- AED. 150,000? Totally justified lol For some reason I've been feeling that my croc birkin is getting closer to me by the day & this has nothing to do with the fact that Cute has deployed her army of sales reps to nit-pick the globe in search for an emerald green birkin) -- & it also has nothing to do with the fact that I've been playing nothing but The Secret on my DVD player every morning & visualizing myself swinging my Oh-So-Fab crocodile birkin on Rodeo Drive (yes! Seriously, lol!) but rather, it's that gut feeling.. alright, maybe I don't particularly have a stellar 'gut feeling' track record, but this time I know I'm right, I swear, I swear, I sweeeeeear I know I'm right, I can feel it. Please tell me you feel it too? ~_~ $13 in my moola box | link | email this post Bringing Home The Birkin  Not that I'm announcing the arrival of my crocodile birkin, far from that, but if you too have been craving a croc & haven't had the pleasure of owning one, this book would keep you company until then ;p "Billed as the true story of how one man managed to bust right through the mythological (and he proves that it is in fact a myth) Hermes waiting list for exotic hard to get Birkins but it is so much more than that."  I dreamt last night that I bought a crocodile birkin at the New York boutique, a black one -bleh! but it felt good nonetheless, & despite the fact that I'm a morning person & enjoy tossing & turning in bed at dusk, waking up this time turned out to be so much less fun than usual -- looking at the bright side? I have several kellies and birkins in gorgeous colors... (in Togo leather) <-- says it with a low, lowwww voice hoping no one hears the last part lol! $7 in my moola box | link | email this post From Londres to LA  Marilyn Monroe tea room            Tucked away somewhere on Portabello St. I found a vintage heaven, a favorite of the likes of kate moss & lndsey lohan.
