Finally Spring... / やっと春ですね

今日は春のはじまりだ〜 

下記をGoogleのサイトで発見☆ 小さい頃から「はらぺこあおむし」の大ファンなんでちょっとハッピーな気分に。

Finally it's the first day of Spring. Yay! The image below is found on Google! I'm a big fan of "the Very Hungry Caterpillar". Love it.

けれど、春だと喜べるのもつかの間でそろそろ花粉症がピークに。毎年かなり症状がひどくってコンタクトつけられないし、外出を控えめにしなくちゃいけなくなる… 残念ながら日本と違って花粉症マスクはあたりまえじゃないんで、マスクをつけたまま外出はできない〜 (怪しい人と思われちゃうよ〜 笑)花粉症ピーク時の私はこんな感じ↓ 冗談抜きで!

Unfortunately, getting warmer means the beginning of hell for me. Yes... allergy hell that is. It's a matter of time when I cannot wear my contact lenses and won't be able to get out of the house often because it's usually that severe... At a peak of the allergies, I will be feeling like this... no joke!

If you see sale on tissues, let me know! I need to stock them up...

Daily Findings: Steve Mack's Spot Illustration


Absolutely love these illustrations by Steve Mack's!! It looks like he had worked for Target. I remember seeing his work on Target's gift cards...

Daily Findings: Lunch Time Yoga/ ヨガ


As much as I complain about having a cabin-fever from working at home, there are lots of advantages as well. As I have mentioned previously, I have started to do yoga at lunch time.

Thanks to Yoga Today, a web site Kimbra send to me... these videos are great and easy to follow. The best of all, they are free and updated everyday!!

寂しくなる在宅だけど、いい事もある。例えばランチタイム。最近はヨガにチャレンジ。友達が教えてくれたサイト,Yoga Today, でがんばってま〜す 毎日更新されるのと無料なのが嬉しい!

三日坊主にならない様、がんばるぞー!

Home. Sweet Home アパート


やっと人を呼んでも恥ずかしくないくらいになったよ〜。本棚一つでかなり奇麗に片付いたリビングルーム。押し入れ部屋に引越し以来置きっぱなしだったすべての本や雑誌の置き場所がやっとできた〜☆

Finally the living room looks much better, better enough to invite people to our apt. I thought I had tons of books and magazines but this bookshelf made me feel otherwise...




台所のキャビネットに足をつけたら、バッフェテーブルのできあがり。

Here is our buffet that is made out of three kitchen cabinets with legs attached, a cheaper DYI solution than buying a buffet.

How awesome is this!?

loosing my mind

an evidence of how busy I have been... look what sketching a storyboard done to this poor pencil! I had no weekend as I worked about 20 hours on this past Sat and Sun... arghhh!!

i might need to substitute food with yoga during the lunch time this week since I haven't worked out at all since last week.
