A Place to Call My Own

Ms. Zahara and Lavinia took this test at Style Maker Visual Quiz from Stylish Home wherein you get to figure out what's the style that belongs to your dream home. I got all curious about it, so I decided to get my own details as well. The result says that I most resemble an "Old Money Extravagance" just like Winston Churchill, Anthony Hopkins and Greta Garbo. I don't have any idea about those last two people but basing on the sound of their name, I guess my style would probably be like that of those archaic era. The result is credible, actually. Here are the details on my fancied sanctuary:

"A classic home in an established neighborhood. A sleek tailored kitchen, but not too harsh. The subtle refinements of your sleeping nest reflect a desire for order. Tempo and technical accumen give a smooth flow to you. Thematic table accessories set the mood. A lithe and agreeable cab - no meal required. 1,000's of hours of handcrafted detail provide your decorative foundation. Stand tall in the saddle… it's a short ride home."

Just like Lav, I also desire to have my own huge library. I got the idea from the movie Beauty and the Beast. The Beast's library was so huge it dropped my jaw! As what Marcus Tullius Cicero said, "A home without books is a body without soul." Some other areas I want to build inside my future home are:

• A music room with various kinds of musical instruments.
• A walk-in closet for my future fashion collections.
• An entertainment room separate from the living room.
• An area for some chit chat moments with my family and friends.
• A photo shoot are for my shutterbug moments.
• A mini-coffee shop and WiFi area for my online activities.
• A "food trip" area for my gastronomic pleasure, aside from the kitchen.
• A prayer room for my solitary moments with God.

"Home is where you're surrounded by creatures that care about you." 

- Sandy of Spongebob

I must admit that I really have that vintage (I don't want to call it oldies) preference on things. I am more of the Neo-Gothic architecture. I've once taken a quiz like this on FB before which is also about my dream house, and the result was a Victorian House. See what I mean? I think I can bear living in the historical period. I just love everything with details, especially that of sophistication. That holds true even in my outfit. I remember my drawings of houses before, they were always highly-decorative. Those fairy tales I've been watching in my childhood years must've influenced me  big time.

Would you like to take the quiz to find out more about your dream home?

GT: Techie Talk

I’m finally part of the GT loop. Welcome me with open arms, folks. I know I’m already four topics late, but there’s no harm about that, right girlfriends? I’m still groping on how I can connect with other girls who are into GT, so that they would also know my ideas on a given topic. But, that’s not a big problem to fret about. I know my girls will help me out.

This week’s topic is technology, which is actually my blind spot. I don’t fancy any other thingamajigs aside from camera. I’ve mentioned in my wish list before that I badly want to a DSLR camera, but until now I still don’t have one. I’m a shutterbug, but I don’t own a camera. It’s like being a warrior without a sword – having the skill without the equipment.

Hopefully, I can get hold of the desire of my heart this year. I’ve been pestering my father to buy me one, and he said he will give me what I want before graduation. I still have to wait a little longer, but it’s just OK. I have to be patient, because my favor’s not very easy to get. Cross fingers for the arrival of the photography buff’s best friend! Promises are NOT made to be broken, right Papa?

Going back to techie talk, there’s this camera that has been making me drool to death for months already. I know we can’t afford to purchase those luxurious stuffs, so I always go for the more affordable ones. I don’t usually dwell too much on the things that are quite impossible for us to reach. In that case, I think it’ll just be fine if I dream on having this not-so-expensive entry-level DSLR cam – the Nikon D3000.

Here are the key features of my much-coveted Nikon D3000. I got these details from this site.

• 10.2megapixel CCD sensor. Even in low light the image resolution makes easy work of big prints and sharp enlargements.
• 11-point autofocus system. Keeps even the fastest moving subjects in focus, often the biggest challenge for compact cameras
• Fast response. The start up time and shutter lag means you can capture the shot almost instantly, without the delayed response time common of compact cameras
• Guide mode. Simply the easiest way to get great pictures, without having to read the manual
• 3-inch TFT. With pictures this good, you will need a great screen to share them with friends and family
• EXPEED image processing. Exclusive system to deliver rich, bright results close to what you saw with your own eyes
• Picture Controls. Lets you set the look and mood of your images before you shoot
• 3 fps continuous shooting allows you to capture fast-moving action at 3 frames per second
• Intuitive ergonomics. We challenge anyone to pick up a D3000 and it not to feel part of your hand
• Stylish discrete appearance. The D3000 does not become a barrier between you and your subject, resulting in natural looking expressions
• Compact, light and durable. It won’t fit in your pocket, but with pictures this good you will find a shoulder to hang it on

The downside of this camera is that it can only take pictures but not videos, but I don't mind. Photography is my thing, not video documentation.

It will be fine for me if I get deprived of those cool gadgets like laptop, iPOD, iPAD, or QWERTY phone, just as long as I can have this camera, at last! I even told my Mom, “It’s ok if you don’t give me new clothes, new shoes, or whatever. A camera is all I want for now.” I sound too desperate, right? I hope that desperation I got there will still pay off in the end. I’m just LOL-ing around, Mom!

TAG: 10 Things I Love

I have been tagged by my blogger friend to do this very interesting entry. Thank you Tessa! I was supposed to do this yesterday, but my thesis work got me busy. Enough of that! I actually remember writing a post like this before through A Few of My Favorite Things and The Mystic Collection. I yakked about all tangible materials in those posts. I don't wanna come off as a material girl so instead of talking about them again and again here in my niche, let me share you 10 intangible & valuable things I hold dear in my heart, mind and soul.

That sounded so dramatic. Right, folks? Here goes my list in no particular order:

University of the Philippines

In UP, I've learned how to work under pressure, not to mention poise under pressure. Teachers bombard us with a lot of paper works and stuff, and I thank God I was able to survive them somehow. In this institution, I've gained the confidence I never had before especially in dealing with difficult situations in academic and real life. I've gained strength because of the circumstances I've been through. Most of all, I gained new true friends here.

BA Communication ARTS (BACA)

That image above is our official logo. I love learning about communication -- from the theories to the practices. Communication really is my passion. My favorite communication subjects are Intercultural Communication, Public Relations & Advertising, Organizational Communication and Ethics in Communication. I would like to quote what our professor told our class before, "You might think communication arts is easy, but it's not." Very well-said, Sir!

Writing

Writing my thoughts out are one of those activities that ultimately makes me sane. I love to express myself through writing although I'm a Speech Comm major. That's how I spend most of my solitary moments alongside listening to my favorite music. I love doing it more than anything else. I write poems, journals, essays and even stories. But my stories are so weak. They're not like the good ones. You wouldn't want to read them.

Music

Music is my sanctuary. I consider it a safe place in this troubling world. Just like writing or blogging, it also makes me sane from all kinds of pressure that I experience every single day. Without it, I’d probably have an extensive degree of exhaustion every time I deal with some mind-boggling trials. It’s my preferred companion whenever I want to rest my mind, body and soul. I listen to 80% rock and 20% smooth music.

Simplicity

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful." That is a beautiful quote I found while searching for SIMPLICITY images. I was not born with a golden spoon. Now everything is handed to me on a silver platter. I am just a simple and average girl, but I feel happy just living my simple life. I love everything simple, from fashion to lifestyle. I don't know why, but I really feel intimidated with anything extravagant.

Art

With art, I can have great ideas when it comes to fashion, food, lifestyle and even in writing. Art is just everywhere, and I love it. I was really honored when I got the chance to enroll in one of the famous subjects we have at school -- Arts and Humanities. I talked about it in an entry just last year, December 2010. It gained 424 page views, so far. If you want to read it, here's the link -- Creative Juice: My Intense Devotion for Art.

Thoughts

I love to think. When in my deepest and wildest thoughts, I don't want anyone to disturb me. For me, thinking is a lot like dreaming. When someone or something interrupts, it's like going back to sleep to continue your dream. I admit that I get weird sometimes, but of course I don't show it to people. Thinking helps me come in contact with myself. With my thoughts, I can talk to myself. I'd rather do it than talk to senseless people.

Serenity

Because I mostly have troubled thoughts, I love to compose myself by going to places that invite calmness and peace of mind. Serenity for me is bliss. I don't like going to places that are too crowded and noisy. I actually think I'm a little enochlophobic (fear of being in crowds). That explains why I'd rather eat at restaurants than fastfood chains. I just get easily irritated with people moving back and forth when I'm concentrating on something (like eating).

Desires

I have a lot of desires from the materials I want to have, to the things I want to achieve and all that jazz. I want to graduate with flying colors soon. I want to have stable job when I graduate. I want to have a position in an advertising or marketing firm. You know, things like that. Those desires help me strive hard. They inspire me to do good in crafts that can help me get what I've always wanted to have and hold. I certainly hope I can get the desires of my heart someday!

Adventure

Adventure means fun. It is a kind that gives us natural high. It has that certain factor that yields excitement and amusement. When I say adventure, it doesn't only mean going on extreme activities like trekking, bungee jumping, wall-climbing or white water rafting. Adventure can also happen even in choosing what we wear, what we eat, and most especially, what we want to become. By taking risks, I also learn even if it means failing. That's how we grow, right?

How about you, what are those ten things that you love? I'm tagging Ate Gemma, Lavinia, Sergei, Jesse, Shimea and Maxine. Care to do this tag too?

Sunny Days & Starry Nights Giveaways

I rarely visit my Mystique Shutterbug blog, because Mystic Nymph got me busy with all those blog series I've introduced. I actually haven't been posting much there even though I said I'll update it with one picture a day. Too bad I wasn't true to my words. I'm very sorry about that. I just love writing more about different subjects rather than focusing on only one. Know what I'm saying?

To my surprise, Mystique Shutterbug still gets the attention of some bloggers. I'm very thankful to them for dropping by at my photo blog. From now on, I'll try to update it as often as I can. Just this morning I received a comment from Sunny Days & Starry Nights owned by two small town girls (got this info from their bio). They were inviting me to join the contest they are currently hosting in honor of their blog's recent birthday.

They are giving away a bunch of lovely items that will surely drop the jaw of the lucky winner. The chosen one will receive the following:

I was informed just last night, and I got to read the comment just this morning. Who knows right, I might still get the chance to win all these items I sure can't get enough of. I'd love to have the notepad, accessories pencil set, and the Michelle Obama First Lady of Fashion & Style Book. I'm still like a kid with my choices.

I REALLY HOPE I GET TO WIN THE CONTEST. OMG! My heart's pounding fast now. Chills! Wish me luck, folks!

Dorothy Perkins Fever

The dress is the most important item in a girl's wardrobe. I'm a girl, however I don't have a good number of skirts and dresses to support my kind of style. I guess that makes me Little-Miss-Fashion-Backward. I have to upgrade my closet with lots and lots of it. What triggered this desire was what I saw while I was browsing my Facebook's News Feed. My eyes widened with fascination when I noticed this post from Dorothy Perkins' Page. It's about their new collection called Little House. DP never fails to immensely catch my attention. I totally have my eyes for all these stuffs. I wish I get to have new DP items again. I'm oh-so-in-love with these cool things here. Check 'em out!

Navy Spot Crochet Trim Dress

Navy/Pink Floral Gypsy Dress

White Gypsy Print Dress

Bleach Frill Maxi Dress

Pink Floral Maxi Skirt

White Lace Trim Maxi Skirt

Black Floral Print Skirt

Black Tiered Skirt

Wicked, right? Drop by this link to know more about this new collection of fashion goodies only from Dorothy Perkins. Just so you know, I'm dying to have all these. If only wanting alone can make me have them. I think it's quite obvious how much I desire these girly finds. Well, I'm just making my thoughts known for someone to hear me out. Calling out Mom. Buy me some for my 21st birthday! It's alright if they're not DP, just as long as they're dresses to fill up my closet space. LOL! I'm just goofing off, dear Mom! But you can always grant my wish. :-D

Steve Madden Foot Fash

I've been seeing a lot of photos of shoes from Steve Madden, and I can't help but fall head over heels in love with it. If I have all the money in the world, I'd definitely buy all of those. Okay, stop dreaming Kat. Just wait Steve Madden, I will collect you soon. Here are some photos of brogues and booties I'm totally drooling over now!

“I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!”
- Marilyn Monroe

“Give a girl the correct footwear and she can conquer the world”
-Bette Midler

“I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.” – Oprah Winfrey

“I live by a simple philosophy: Wear fine shoes and enjoy the best luck.” — Qiana Markham

"Flat shoes are not sexy, but they’re cool, and it’s just as exciting to be cool as it is to be sexy."

-Stuart Weitzman

"You need a pair for every mood – and everyone knows that women have a lot of different moods.” – Anonymous

"The human foot is a work of art and a masterpiece of engineering." -Leonardo da Vinci

“If you haven’t got it, fake it! Too short? Wear big high heels, but do practice walking! – Victoria Beckham

“Mama always said you could tell an awful lot about a person by the kind of shoes they wear.” – Forrest Gump

Need I say more? These jaw-dropping foot wears are truly enticing. Having them on will truly make me feel like I'm a real fashion lover. I wouldn't mind binging on them just as long as I have enough bucks. I still can't afford them for now, but I believe in the power of positivity. God knows the desires of our hearts, right? So, what are your fashion eye candies, blogmates?

Desires of a Mystic Nymph: Food Edition

When I'm broke that's the time when my mind is flooded with so much thoughts of food. Like now, I don't have even a cent left in my wallet. I can't buy what I want to eat. All my extra money for this week all went to school projects and contributions. Fudge! Poor Mystic Nymph, only pictures of delicious meals make her full. And on that note, I wanna scream that I really want to eat something appetizing. I've been craving for food for the past two weeks. The last time I had such a heart-warming and mouth-watering meal was when my boyfriend and I had a Pre-Valentine date at La Toscana, and when we celebrated Maxine's birthday at Bigby's. That was more than two weeks ago. I miss pleasuring my palate with one hell of a.. I mean "heaven" of a gastronomic adventure!

"Without food everything is less than nothing."

- Bunyip Bluegum (The Magic Pudding)

"Amazed at how something could taste this good in the midst of life's being this bad."

- Dolores Price (She's Come Undone)

"It's important to begin a search with a full stomach."

- Henry Bromel (The Big Kiss)

"I am acutely aware of food, and its omnipresence is astounding."

- Adam Scott (The Monkey Chow Diaries)

"There is no love sincerer than the love of food."

- George Bernard Shaw (Man and Superman)

I wanna pig out! Just looking at the photo I first uploaded for this post makes my stomach grumble. It's a food (obviously) from Sofitel Hotel in Manila. That luxurious place is most famous for their international buffet. I've known some acquaintances who have already dined there, and I envy them a HUGE deal! I'd love to splurge on it. I would definitely want to try a smorgasboard of food from all the continents. It's good to try all sorts of cuisine even though they look and taste different. I bet that will absolutely be a distinct and extraordinary meal to remember. I do hope to partake of fine cuisine as many times as I can someday -- twice or thrice a week for an instance. I don't mind getting insane just as long as I get to gobble up all the goodies that have been striking my fancy (just kidding).

I've been yakking about food, and it's making me hungry. It seems like I can't contain my cravings any longer. Web-surfing has been my stress-reliever for the past days, and I happened to chance upon some food available in the Philippines that actually give me an eyetooth for. They're so yummy-looking that I end up thinking about them MORE than my thesis proposal defense on Monday. The photos of those gratifying foodstuffs never fail to jumpstart my mood although I've seen them a number of times already. They get me revved up and chillaxed at the same time. The bad thins is, I haven't tried those delightful things just yet. I know it's not the end of everything for me. I know I can devour them when the perfect time comes! Anyway. these are the food I'm talking about.

GOURMET PAO

This is a gourmet siopao. These are also available in different sizes and flavors. I'd love to try their Giant Seven Treasures Siopao! So enticing!

CELLO's DOUGHTNUTS

What do you think is better-tasting, Krispy Kremes or Cello's Doughtnuts? These are also available in Governer Sales Street, Davao City.

JOSE RAFAEL FINE COFFEE's JAFFLES

This is actually called Choco Chip Jaffles. This is available in the said coffee shop in Lanang, outside the entrance to Insular Village Phase 1.

BEEF TERIYAKI BENTO

Need I say more? This is available in Izakaya Nonki Japanese Restaurant located at F. Torres Street, beside Davao Trade Convention Center.

FILLET of MAHI-MAHI

Pandawan or Dolphin-fish. This is available in Swiss Deli-cious located in Lanang, Davao City, on J.P. Laurel Avenue across Damosa Building.

I love food! I'm having a relationship with them, as quoted from Liz Gilbert from the movie Eat Pray Love. I would like to share you this term I learned from my favorite Davaoeño food blog, Davao Deli. It's called FOODNOGRAPHY. They use it as a term for food photography. Good idea, isn't it? So, what food makes you crave these days? Let's talk about them! :-)

Desires of a Mystic Nymph (Wishlist)

How does it feel to have the time of your life by having everything your heart wants right before your very eyes? Let me guess. In my mind’s eye, the feeling would probably be that awesome that you won’t find the perfect words to define what you feel. Your emotions would possibly whirl like a hurricane. Nothing beats the sensation of turning your unrelenting yearnings into tangible sophistication. I can’t surely wait for the time when I can finally tell myself, “I got what I want, now I couldn’t ask for anything more!” But I know that it would be impossible. Humans have incorrigible longing for many things. I’ve already come to grips with that a long time ago. Of course we won’t delve on that matter. So before we go down deep, let me share you these things that are bugging me because I badly want them, and I still don’t have them.

First on the list is a Nikon or Canon DSLR Camera. I don’t mind which model as long as the quality is great especially for a beginner like me. I would raise my eyebrows if you say you don’t care about these thingamajigs. I mean, who wouldn’t want to have one? Yes, I know photography is getting really overrated with everyone wanting to document everything they do. People in this “state-of-the-art” generation venture into food photography (some call as foodnography), fashion photography and many other photography thingy that I don’t know how to label. This modern-day hobby is so classy that it pulls everyone who wants to revamp their civilized existence by learning it.

I want a Little Black Dress to hang in my closet. I think I have to erase the article “a” cause I honestly want an overwhelming number of elegant and chic LBDs. Just looking at them from afar seems as if I’m feasting my eyes on them. These are a girl must-have, and owning even one is enough. But of course, a fashion fiend like me doesn’t want to settle for just “enough” if not because of some monetary constraints. We’re not that wealthy and living high off the hog that’s why I still can’t afford to purchase many of those. If you want to perk yourself up with those stylish dresses, you have to invest a lot of money. We’re talking about fashionable dresses here, and they’re costly they can burn your wallet that instant. I actually don’t have an LBD. Criticisms are welcome. Kidding aside! Not having it makes me feel I’ve cramped my style. I just have a Little Pink Dress and Little Black-and-White Dress. What a bore!

For the year 2011 and beyond, I want my fancy for rubber shoes, doll shoes and sandals to tone down. I’d like to strut in modish comfort with loafers that have metallic particulars. I’m just so head-over-heels in love with detailed slip-ons. I crave for GEOX Breathes. According to its advertorial, it combines a micro perforated rubber sole and the breathable waterproof membrane. I know it is way too expensive, so I would be eager to buy any shoe that looks like it at a reasonable price. I also don’t mind wearing those trendy Oxford lace-up booties, platform heels and leather wedges only when I’m in the appropriate place or occasion.


Not intended for copyright infringement

I want some more additions to my casual wardrobe. I drool over Bow-neck tops, Chiffon tops and dresses, lace tops, Lumberjack flannel vests, zippered sweater dresses, Harem pants, black patent leather over-sized shoulder bags and classy scarves for layering. I want to look edgy with attires and accessories that are minimal but modern. I’d probably look prettier on those items. Don’t mind my over confidence (LOL)! Well, I hope Santa grants my wishes this season or maybe next year. I’ve listed a lot of things, but I’m pretty sure I still have all the time in the world to reward myself with all those delightful possessions. In God’s time!

A Delightful Cuisine

Dec 13, 2010 was one heck of an adventure for my tummy. Ate a lot at Cafe Mediterranean with some schoolmates. It's located at Chimes Complex, here in my favorite city and hometown, Davao. We ordered Lamb Kebab Pizza, Yummy Turkey & Cheese Melt, Gourmet Decker Sandwich, Grilled Burger with Mushroom Gravy and Baklava plus Bottomless Iced Tea. We had a blast enough to make our stomach full, but we still want more. We just couldn't get enough of their delish meals. Maybe next time, I'll drop by with my boyfriend to try their Large Plates, Pasta and other Pizzas. Here are some pictures we took. You might want to drool as much as we did.

Mystic Nymph at Cafe Med

Sumptuous, isn't it? The place is not even appalling. It's cozy and comfortable at the same time. You and your friends can be informal if you want. Just don't do it too much. Other customers might get irritated. Try it there, you will have fun! Total fun, I have to say. Investing in food is really one of the best treats for yourself.

Pleasuring the Palate

I have always wanted to have a taste of all kinds of cuisine ever since my demanding desire on food got the better of me. That was just a year ago, as far as I can remember. It was just the latter part of my college days when I began to crave for the world of different kinds of delicacies. I realized that it’s good to try out various sorts of cuisine, even though they may taste and look different. I consider it adventure for our palate. Before, I get contented with just eating at fast-food chains. But now, I want something more exciting for my gastronomic pleasures.
I love searching for restaurant menus on the web. They all the more pique my interest on what might be lovely to taste. Because I’m still a student, I plan of dropping by to food joints with good reviews one after the other. I’ve already been to Coco’s South Bistro-Torres Branch with my boyfriend for our third year anniversary celebration. We got intimidated with the cozy ambiance of the place because it was our first time there. But when we saw the menu, the items were not that expensive. They were relatively cheap. We had Healthy Combo Pizza which costs 225php. We’re planning to dine there again, and try their pasta and steaks.
Our next destination is on Café Mediterranean: Flavors of the Sun at Chimes Compound. I’m totally excited. I can’t wait to devour their Kofta Burger and Grilled Lamb with Pita. If I have enough money left in two days, I’ll order their Baklava ala mode as well. I suggested Margherita or Greca Pizza for my boyfriend. Because I don’t want to take too much time going over Café Med’s menu, I downloaded their menu in advance. I got this from http://food.clickthecity.com/b/Nh1daa9. Here it is:
