Found this in Tumblr. From David Levithan’s Lover’s Dictionary. ♥
New layout
Flutter Happy has gone a bit minimal this April! I’ve been preparing this theme for months. Coding isn’t that hard but it took me some time making the decisions – mostly on the choices of fonts, the line-height, etc. I decided on making the post wider (that’s why two-column) so I can share bigger photos. I don’t really think the Flutter Happy logo will last that long though. Still looking for some ideas. ;)
Hope you had a great weekend!
Extra hot
This post is a must. It’s my birthday after all. ;) So sorry I don’t have pics to show you what had become of my day. It wasn’t that exciting. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my hands on a basin of ice cold water. ;( This was after I made the dynamite cheese sticks. Huhu…. I followed the recipe I got from Kitchen Cow.
I sort of… well, forgotten the part where you got to wear gloves. ;| I was almost through with twenty to thirty chilis when the burning pain became unbearable. Huhuhu. I did all things possible to take away the pain. I did the aloe vera thingie, the burn ointment, smearing my hands with toothpaste. Nothing worked except immersing my hands in a basin of super ice cold water which numbed the pain. I was like this for a couple of hours. This included dinner time. Haha… While I was typing this post, there’s still little pain which can be relieved with the cold blast from the aircon.
Wahaha… Happy 26th Birthday to me! ♥
Ideal Bookshelf
I found an interesting blog today. Do you love books? If yes, this might be for you. ;) Jane Mount of the Ideal Bookshelf paint people’s ideal bookshelves.
Jane Mount on the Ideal Bookshelf:
I paint people’s ideal bookshelves: your favorite books, books that changed your life, books that made you who you are.
I think of this project [The Ideal Bookshelf] as an intimate form of portraiture; a way to illustrate who the subject is on the inside instead of out.
I love that a book is something created very personally and then mass-produced in order to affect many other people very personally. I paint them to turn them back into something very personal and intimate. In the age of the Kindle (which I also love, btw), it’s very satisfying.
I would love to have my own custom print framed in my wall. ♥ You can request your own custom painting/prints from her shop.
Tootsie
I wanted you to meet a little friend of mine. Tootsie has been with us in the family for years since I was in second grade. We gave him that name after the candy Tootsie Roll. It was later that I watched Dustin Hoffman’s movie Tootsie that I found out it’s supposed to be a girl’s name. Haha. Anyway, Tootsie is considered to be my mom’s other child. I don’t have siblings so I really don’t mind. ;) This guy’s old right now, and have a teeny problem with arthritis. But doesn’t he have adorable eyes? ♥
An April revamp
Just a quick update. I’ve been too busy with revamping a new look for Flutter Happy in April. ♥ That’s why I haven’t blogged that much this month. It’s hard since I had to resize all the images to bigger ones and I have posts dating back 2010! *sigh* Good thing some posts don’t have photos. ;) This will going to be two long weeks till March is over. So, watch out for the new look in April! ;) Have a great Friday!
Keep on waiting
Last night, I’ve waited for almost three hours for him in a yogurt shop. He was late but it wasn’t really his fault. *sigh* I ate two cups of frozen yogurt despite my sore throat.
To keep myself preoccupied, I read The Hobbit on my phone. This was my second try in reading Tolkien’s series and so far I’m loving it! The first try, I got overwhelmed with the little details or I simply wasn’t paying attention. =) ♥ There was also this book of picture riddles that got me visually entertained, which I got tired of after 20 mins since I really couldn’t spot where the heck is the saucer in the picture.
Sweet March
I meant to post this earlier but I had fever since yesterday. It started out as a sore throat and then everything hurts. :( Anyway, I thought it would be nice to bring my camera to work on the first day of March since I only use it occasionally. We only had two patients for dialysis in the afternoon. I grabbed my camera and we had fun on what turned out to be our mini-photo shoot. ;)
I love the mahogany trees just outside our windows. They were cut some time ago, and leaves are just starting to grow again. ♥
I hope you all feel better than I do. ♥
Meet Melissa, Steven, and Courtney!
Hello everyone! ♥ I want you all to meet my sponsors for February. Take time to visit their blogs because they all have something interesting that might be what you’re looking for.
Hey, I’m Steven Andrew and I run www.stevenandrew.net. I’m a 21 year old college student from Upstate New York. I use my blog as a creative outlet, I post DIY projects, a lot of personal stories and thoughts and I have a series “Inspire Me” – a way to help those become inspired by even the simplest of things. I’ve been blogging for years, way back when Xanga was cool and loved connecting with all sorts of people from all around the world. I’d hope that anyone that comes to my blog leaves at least a little bit more inspired than before.

I see the skies
I’m getting addicted on using Flickr! I transferred some photos from my old account to the new one in preparation for a little something at the end of March. I even made a little watermark but decided not to use it anyway. ;) Why don’t you come and visit me on flickr. ♥
March is coming and so is my birthday. ♥ I’m currrently accepting sponsors for that month. So, for those interested, you can shoot me an email at arvee(at)flutterhappy(dot)com. ♥
