Sure its nice but its not my type 2008-12-08 23:37:00 The architect just sent me these architectural renderings of our office. This is his proposed design. After looking at it, sure it's nice but then it's not my type. Although he did well in making our office appear expensive, it's just way to cramped and stiff. I would like my team to be comfortable in while working and I like the office to be creatively stimulating both for our web developers and

It's a Dog's Day 2008-11-09 22:20:00 Dog Beds by zeniamai I have three dogs and Coffee, my rusty-red Doberman, loves lying down on a soft and warm surface. We usually give her towels to sleep on however she later on tears it apart. I want me to get these beds. After the house renovation, we are actually building a place where she can lie down comfortably and these beds inside a dog house for coffee would be great!

Weddings and Photography 2008-10-27 12:46:00 What I don't like in some wedding photographers is when they capture a synchronized and laid-out pseudo-moment instead of actually capturing the candid and real ones.

I'm such a Girl 2008-10-20 01:23:00 I was introduced to Polyvore by my sister only last weekend. Although I have seen this kind of layout in several girly blogs I regularly visit but then I was never really curious since I am swamped with work when I'm in the office.
