My new wall!!!!!!

(exclamation marks cuz I'm super exited about having it already!)
Ok. I've been collecting pictures, postcards and cutouts from magazines for quite a long time now. And I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the perfect bulletin board (aka cork board).

This is JK Rowlings board, image from Harry Potter Lexicon

 Perfect means the exact size I want. Here's what I tell you. There are no bulletin boards perfect for me. *le sigh*

Then I decided to make one myself. I found out the prices for cork sheets (big boards) and I said to myself. No, thank you! Too expensive.

Then I found out about drywall! It seemed like the perfect thing! The only problem was - it doesn't look too good.

The best photo of drywall, believe me! (from treehugger.com)

I thought I'd just paint it some pretty pastel colour. Or I also had an idea of covering the whole sheet with pretty canvas. And then framing it.

But as everyone knows I don't like complicated stuff. I usually go the easiest way!
And this morning I just knew I had to do it.
I remembered I had double-sided tape somewhere. Couldn't find it. And then an idea popped up in my sleepy head! You can use regular tape in a special way so that it won't be seen AND it want ruin the picture once you decide to move it!
Ok, here's the secret)

Apply the tape to the back of your picture the glued side facing the front.

Fold the tape at the edge of the picture, and now the glued side is facing backwards.

Done! You can pin it anywhere you want. Well, my walls are painted. But I'm using special tape which is sticky enough to grab the wall and the picture, but not too sticky, so that I can easily remove it from both paper and painted wall.

Finally, here's the wall I decorated. It's not much. But I love love love it! Can't wait to wake up to this tomorrow morning =)

Colourful, right?

And here's what I did to it using Picasa editing stuff)

Pretty, huh?
Ok. see you. Bye!

Two sisters divided for the love for a king.

Just finished watching "The other Boleyn girl". What a sad story. I would hate to live in that era. Full of lies, intrigues and betrayal.
I didn't read the plot summary and any of the reviews, so I enjoyed the movie greatly! I haven't enjoyed any film other than comedy or romantic movie so much lately. I cried a lot, I almost wept at some moments.
I can not truly hate any of the characters, they all are the victims of their society.
And men are so easy to manipulate. Any girl (and I mean it), any girl can make a man do whatever she wants him to do.

Oh, and I love Natalie Portman now. Want to see the Black Swan.

ps. And yes, I don't care if the film is not true to historic events.

Burgers! Yay!

so recently i'vу become addicted to burgers. Not some fast food stuff but nice homemade ones.
I usually use a small mixed grain bun, then some sauce, meat component, vegetables (sometimes pickled) and cheese. You can't go without cheese!
I'll just post some pics of them (Yes, I take pictures of my food!)

1. These two were made with different sauces. Curry and Sweet&Sour. Both Heinz production. I am a Heinz addict! Since like 2007. Then there are in both of them pickled cucumber and pickled hot green pepper. Plus a meat patty steam cooked, which is much healthier than frying. Also note the pink cup from my collection. It's so cute, I use it for hot cocoa or hot chocolate. And the orange one with dots, also from my collection. I prefer having tea in it. The wine bottle is used as a candle holder.

2. These two have same Sweet&Sour sauce. Then this sausage, it is called boiled (cooked) and has these little pieces of fat. I had it lightly fried. Pickles, Cheese and a leaf of lettuce. And my rainbow cup. I had red hibiscus ginger tea in it.

3. This third picture features a not-so-good burger. I used fresh veggies, and I didn't like it. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow and will make the slices thinner. Sweet&Sour Sauce, 2 cheese slices, 2 tomato slices, 2 cucumber slices. And the good old steam cooked meat patty. And one of the latest additions to my collection. This teacup with tea cup pattern. Isn't it cute with the pink and white polka dots?

 And I have to add, these are very tasty and very nutritive. I had 2 in the morning (at about 9am) and wasn't hungry long after 6pm. And that's something)
Hope you liked this yummy post.
Come back for more.

And I would choose any 1 of these burgers over any 2 of Wendy's, McDonald's or Burger King ones any day.

Pink sunset

This pink sunset was actually taken by me a couple of years ago. It was after a heavy downpour rain. I had to climb up to a roof top of some shop near my university campus. And as the roof was flat and had high edges, it was FULL of water. And I took this picture literally standing in a big puddle of rain water, I was wet up to my ankles. But it was totally worth it. Btw, no editing in this photo.
