I'm Moving...
To a new home in cyberspace, which I still have to find.
Something big happened about a month ago, and it really created such a big dent in my life, and that's partly the reason why I'm moving on to a new site.
This isn't goodbye. It's more about moving on to start something new.
I'll see you soon.

Daria Does Time Style & Design
I have no idea how often, and when exactly Time's Style & Design comes out, so I just get all so excited every time I accidentally find one on magazine stands.
While looking for the LGBT titles at National Book Store this afternoon, I saw this girl standing in one of the aisles reading a magazine. I didn't get to clearly see the cover but I had a feeling it was what I thought it was.
I immediately went to the magazine section and there it was, the Spring 2006 issue of Time Style & Design. And one of my favorite models on the cover - Daria Werbowy. There were only three copies left and I carefully inspected each copy to see which issue is not so worn out yet. (Yeah, I can be that OC!)
Afterwards, I happily went to the cashier to pay for it.
The copy's beside me right now, and it's still in a plastic cover. I haven't opened it yet.
Freaky as it may sound, I have to be prepared before I open magazines that are this special. Hahaha! (For the September 2004 issue of US Vogue, I didn't open the magazine till several days after I bought it. I had to make sure I had nothing on schedule that would distract me from reading it. And before I opened it, I took a bath and got into my most comfy clothes so I could be totally fresh while I enjoy every page of the mag! For Suki's issues 1 and 2 of V Man, I waited till I got home and changed in some comfy clothes before I read the two issues.)
Anyway, I'm meeting my friend, Jon, tomorrow afternoon at Starbucks. I think that would be a nice and the right place where I can enjoy my new issue of Time Style & Design.
