the famous French food poule-au-pôt, chicken and vegetable. Tradition has it that King Henry IV, concerned about the well-being of its smallest subjects, has repeatedly said, "If God still gives me life I will do there will be no peasant in my kingdom n 'is way to have a chicken in his pot. »
I bought my paprika to my recent trip to Ilocos, didn't have a chance to take much pics of her though >_<

A 1957 Leica M3. Still works perfectly and the images are pin sharp. I wonder if any of today's cameras will last that long!

More from our recent trip to Berlin and a real hidden gem. From the outside, a rather ugly concrete block of offices above a row of shops. However, once inside you are presented with this fabulous staircase. The marble tiles are really striking when viewed from above, each floor is slightly different in colour. It's buzzer entry only which I had not realised so was very fortunate that a worker had snuck out for a cigarette and very kindly let us in.
This is straight from camera with exception to a slight contrast adjustment (~10%) to bring out the shadows.
Have a great weekend folks! :-)
ps - A big thank you to Max Zimmermann!

# 51 in my 100 x challenge - using my 50mm
This reed diffuser smells lovely but is in a very plain bottle and since I like to make things look pretty I decided to put a bow around it. A bit of lace, a rose from the garden and a pair of scissors and I had my photo sorted...well, almost...I decided I liked it better with a faded antique look.

1. I was born in 1973, Showa Era, in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka. I was born at 3:31AM, my weight was 3150g, primiparity for my mom though she had an easy birth.
2. I remember I have played with 2nd and 3rd gen Licca when I was a child. But unfortunately, I don't have them. Maybe my mom did throw them away.
3. I loved Toshi-chan, Seiko-chan when I was an early elementary school child.
4. I met Western music when I was 10 or 11 years old. I loved G.I. Orange and Culture Club!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! G.I. Orange was a big hit ONLY in Japan, they were clutch player, British idol band though.
5. I met the Beatles when I was 13 years old. My friend Dan-chan was a big fan of them. She told me about everything of them. (She had a many rare records, also videos too)
6. The first concert was the Street Sliders for me. I was sooooo excited, I will never forget the moment when I got a firsthand look at them. They had acted in US bases named Fussa/Tokyo before they debuted.
7. I had an after-school job when I was a high school student. I did a lot of jobs, waitress of beer garden, staff of mover, cash register of pharmacy etc.... I wanted to get a money to go to concert, to buy dresses! Hahaha. I never studied anything(omg!), just go to concert, chat with friends. ;-P If I can return in those days, I want to study English!!!!!! LOL!
8. By way of the high school, I moved to Fukuoka City to go to the fashion school with my friend Masako, she's a childhood friend. We had wanted to break away from our parents. Our parents gave willing agree to it because our parents were friends, too. They were relieved I and Masako being together.
9. I met my hubby when I was 19 years old in 1993(it was before my birthday). I have a crush on him ever since the day we met. Hehehe. However, we're ALWAYS fighting! Our first fight was when we had not passed as much as one month. LOL.
10. By way of the fashion school, I got a job in the fashion company. I did a many things, salesgirl, planning to sales etc... in this company. I worked for 6 years half.
11. My dad killed himself by hanging when I was 25 years old. My families were really broken heart, especially my mom was filled with hurt feelings because she found him. Fortunately, I had my hubby and many many good friends. They picked up the pieces of my broken heart.
12. I moved to Tokyo in 2000 because my hubby had lived in there for work. It was painful choice to me. Because my hubby has already kept waiting for me for even 3 and a half years. But one thing I'm always worried about is my mom. However fortunately, I have sister and brother. So I moved to Tokyo, anyway.
Also my most favorite band named Blankey Jet City has dissolved in 2000. I've never loved any band like them before, and I guess I will never love any bands like them in the future. I still miss them so much.
13. As you can see, I've been crazy about music since I was a child. The music changed my life. The music of Japanese idol, Pops, Rock'n Roll, etc... And I met a lot of good friends, especially when I was in my late teens to my early twenties, and they still keep friends with me.
14. I got some jobs in Tokyo. The desk work in music office, waitress in cafe etc. Sometimes, I had tried to make both ends meet by working two jobs. Yes, Tokyo is too hard to live. And then, I got a desk work in software company. I worked for 6 years and half. Now, I'm looking for a job. Suitable job? Stimulating work? Job suitable to my ability? I still don't know what I can do though, what I want to do.....
15. I met with Blythe in 2006. I had known Blythe since before though it was the first time to know they were able to custom. I saw "Hedwig Blythe" on TIB, and then I thought "Ohhhh!!! We can custom them??? I want to try it!!!". My first Blythe were Samedi Marche Encore and Excellent Hollywood. Of course, my first custom was Hedwig.
16. I joined to MySpace in 2007. Because I wanted to find some doll friends in overseas, Japanese doll circles were looks oversaturated, segmentalized, too much mature. So I wanted to find some overseas friends. Unfortunately, I can't login to MySpace now because I forgot password and which email address I added it..... LOL.
Happily, I have flickr account, so my circle of doll friends are getting bigger and bigger! You're my treasures!!!
Thank you for reading til the end!
I tag anyone and everyone who wants to do this!
Last but not least(it's 17 things, lol), I got married after dating for 13 years in 2006!!
...And I’ll hold you tightly, I’ll tell you nothing but truth,
If you’re not inside me, I’ll put my future in you

so this is my very first attempt at a self portrait using film yay
it's generic and nothing special but I wanted to take a picture with my new camera so voila
it is an “ISING pucky I,” a 6x6 pseudo TLR made in germany in the 1950s. I found it in a vintage shop in new york city yesterday and used my ~bargaining skills~ to get the price down significantly. it looks like it is in working order so I will cross my fingers that it is!!
also, he/she needs a name. I’m thinking of leaving it at pucky/puck since that is the camera’s name and I do like it but let me know if you have any suggestions :)
**I shot an entire roll of film yesterday and I like so many of the pictures so I may or may not be spamming you today, if you don't mind :)
Estante organizada, faltou um espacinho ainda, algumas coisinhas ficaram de fora, rsrs. Mas ainda vou remanejar para caber tudo.
The idea for the title of the picture was delivered by Stefan (see his comment): Frankenstein's apple!
I like the title very much. By the way: Was very tricky to sew the apple ... ;-)
LARGE view and tags right enjoy!

In politics, we each believe who will best serve as TOP elected official. U.S. citizens even have the right to vote.
Whoever you personally think should be the next president of the USA, please read below. I am still LOL after reading tthis e-mail from a ten year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, including in Gulf War I (President dad Bush's War in Iraq)

The (Apolitical) Marine
One sunny day in 2008, an elderly man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here."
The elderly man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go
in and meet with President Hillary Clinton".
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here."
The man thanked him and again walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mrs.
Clinton. I've told you already several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here.
Don't you understand?"
The elderly man answered, "Oh, I understand you fine, I just love hearing your answer!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, sir!".
