Loop pedals

Playing guitar is one of my frustration and sadly, I only play a little and I can’t seem to finish a whole song much to my dismay.   Unlike my other buddies who can play the guitar effortlessly.   I had a cousin who impressed me so much with his musical ingenuity to think he doesn’t have any formal musical training and yet he plays with different instruments very well.   On one of her jamming session with his band mates, I saw them using loop pedals during their guitar practice which they record to check on how their practice is progressing.

It really takes passion for music and the interest and dedication to experiment to improve one’s craft.

Log beds

When we went on a beach trip the other week, we took special consideration in choosing the best accommodation from among the line of resort inns offering their best services.  However, our grandmom particularly chose the cabin by the lake that was shown to us because she adored the log beds , rustic furniture and decors.  Apparently, it reminded her of the old farm house she used to lived in during her growing up years.

Memories flooded in….

comfortable and exquisite rustic log bed and lounge set

Restaurant furniture

We have a strong affinity to the new restaurant that opened somewhere in the city proper.  Although we have to travel more than 45 minutes to get there, but we really don’t mind going that  far just to meet up friends for dinner.  We found the place cozy and the ambiance is relaxing and inviting for a quiet and  intimate meal time with family and friends.  I will not be surprised at all  if numerous transactions and closed deals happened in the restaurant.  The mood will affect a serious buyer to ink his/her signature of approval.  I wondered who is the brain behind the restaurant’s total package?

We particularly liked the classy and modern restaurant furniture that really compliment the whole interior of the place aside from good food, fast and quality service offered.  The furniture are tastefully chosen and because you are relaxed, the coziness will make  you stay long enough to order second round of meals.

Is that we called marketing strategy?

Clawfoot tubs

Missy is a classy, elegant, gorgeous lady  in our neighborhood who is  living just across the street in a white house with beautiful garden and a sprawling swimming pool.   Neighbors can’t help but speculate that she might be the likes of the legendary Cleopatra who in history has always said that she did use milk baths during her time.  Thus, milk bath is associated with rich women.  And everytime our snooping neighbors see Missy, she intrigued them no end thus, make them conclude that her smooth, white and silky skin is the result of her soaking in elegant clawfoot tubs full of milk and honey just like what Cleopatra did in her olden times.  She was famous for her beautiful skin  allegedly because of her beauty rituals of bathing in fresh milk.  However, there is no ancient source to support that she ever did so but I remember mom told me that in one movie  (huh ! forgot the title), she was shown bathing in milk.

Nowadays, it is a common practice to have milk baths especially those who have money to buy gallons of fresh milk.   But one thing for sure, our neighbor Missy’s advantage to Cleopatra is that she has around 2 classy clawfoot tubs which is unheard of during her time.  How did we know about the tubs?   Her cleaning lady raved about it in one of her mindless conversation with our group.

so this is a clawfoot tub!

Hmmm.. Soaking in a classy tub with milk and honey.. how can one not feel and look beautiful!

Our neighbors should better order a dozen for themselves…. (peace!)
