In everything give thanks. Even when a good day with family ended with a huge cramp and a slightly sharp note. give thanks.

I started a Tumblr to share things that made me happy. positive things. thought provoking things. so much for positivism .at one point i got a telling off for "doing something just because the internet said so". yea,based on a quote about moving on and surround oneself with positive people and things. i doubted myself for a while, wondering if this all this being positive was wrong, that i should not allow myself to mend or to heal up with positive thinking. Also, if quotes like that encourage me, they could be encouraging many others who read it, so why not share it? everyone deserves a pick-me-up, and a gentle push to move on.

after much doubting, i chose to keep on reblogging what positive statements i feel would encourage others. and guess what? Someone followed me and when i thanked them for it, i got this response :

"No need to thank, i have found some very inspiring images in your blog...but I´m following you for the positive messages, that at this moment, I need so much, thanks for dropping this lines, and please keep the good work for all us fans of you!…"


so, i'm glad i didn't stop. to some, it may seem selfish and attention seeking and stupid to want to believe and do what "stuff on the internet" said, but, i don't regret sharing it,because it helped someone, even if it was only one person.

Some things pay off you when listen to His voice and persevere. you never know whats coming, or when it does...but when it finally happens, it'll will mean so much more.

what you do

Once upon a time, i considered myself an extrovert. That, to me meant being friendly with everyone and trying to make friends.being nice to everyone,simple as that. But, over the years, there's been too much accusations, finger pointing and double standards. Friendly translates into something else and that led to baseless judgment, due the fact that people rather speculate than give benefit of the doubt.(so "christian" ain't it?) So, thanks to the many out there who stood by and made false assumptions, i now choose not to get to know new people to avoid being labeled by your friendly, neighbourhood church goers.


Safe to say,i'm oddly an introvert now. it's not really who i am, but for now, till i get over the finger-pointing or the fear of it... what can i do? do what's right i suppose? see how la. what's the point of doing something good and "earn" more "labels"?

MOAR DIY!

So, Saturday rolled around. Popped up at 10 something in the morning. with only 4 hours of sleep and the inability to go back to sleep, so, went back to work on a few ideas i had for the shirts. i did google a little, for reference and ideas, but didn't actually follow everything to the T,so oh well, here goes.

T- Shirt #1

Cut off the neckline and sewed a little stitch into the back. can be worn either way.

WAI BODEH WAI

slpt around 6 something this morning (whatever the time stamped on the previous post is) and tadaaaa.i  was wide awake at 10.30 am. wai bodeh clock wai D: wai is i no can has sleeppz in?? D:

D.I.Y of the day #4911

So, just before i fell asleep the other day, i had the urge to cut up a tshirt, but i decided against acting out on my notions and slept instead. So today( more like yesterday) as i was waiting for yailee to get ready to go watch Real Steel, i decided to pull out a tshirt and commence the cutting, so i did...the lucky tshirt?

This one. My 'Love Me Butch' tshirt 

(Love Me Butch = Local band = google-able)

So step 1 :

I cut off the neck line. Then test- cut off one sleeve. So it looked like this :

Satisfied, moved on to step 2 :

Off with both sleeves. left over sleeves seen there

Step 3 :

I made a boo boo when i cut off the sleeves, so my step 3 consisted of sewing in the sides around the armholes to make it fit and not stick out and expose the insides (shyla!) and basically when not worn, looks as above.

Then with the leftover sleeve, Step 4 :

I cut one wide strip, enough to sew two short tubes. I forgot to take pictures, so it looks like this pic i took off the interwebs. Imagine them WAYYY shorter,messier, and black.

Step 5 was to sew each tube into a loop at the top of each strap, but not sewn down, so you can still move it along the strap itself.

Can't see it in the pic, but its function will be evident in the pictures to come. Anyway, somewhere along the way i decided to cut a small slit down the front to make a little ' v' if i wanted.  

With that, TADAAA! done! 

Doesn't look like much i know.oh, well.

Below are the modeled pics, more to show the variations of styles that can be done by moving the loops

This is just it....without messing with anything

Le DESIGNS

Design 1 : Loopies way up the top, flaps left as it is. 

I will call this the default design.

Design 2 : Loopies pulled down to create thinner straps and flaps tucked in for the sweetheart/sorta v-neck neckline

Design 3 : Loopies pulled down and flaps left as it is for a square neckline with a slight slit.

Design 4 : Loopies all the way up top and flaps tucked in = Regular V neck top

So.that's that.

As science would have it, having the loopies anywhere along the strap gives it a different look. I have no idea what stitches i used, just whatever i learnt back in high school, in KH ( or home econs?)

Not planning to win any awards with my stitches, no fear there.

i blame Old Town's teh tarik.the caffeine kicked in to my body a little too late.was so twitchy i couldn't sleep.
