A bizarre highly unusual phenomenon shocked the southern Philippine residents. There were confirmed reports that a 3 straight hours of heavy snowfall was reported to certain areas in the Southern region.
Wonder what caused this unnatural weather.

“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.â€
It’s good to strive for new things, but you have to be happy with what you currently have, otherwise you’ll never be satisfied. Pretty profound thought coming out of an email thread between one of my buddies, foolishly talking owning a third car.
On a side note, I created the illustration above based on Simon Oxley’s style. He’s followed me recently, and I figured I’d give him a shout out. He’s the designer of the original Twitter logo, Bitly logo, and GitHub logo. Pretty impressive resume, if you ask me. Everything he touches turns to gold.

Annie made another Sailor sandwich last week. I just wanted to express how awesome it was! I can’t eat it all the time, so when I do, it brings back tons of memories.
This is a luxury home in Cape Town, South Africa.
Antoni Associates was approached by a young family looking to relocate from the bustling city to a more relaxed life in the country. The family settled on this residence, called Pearl Valley 276, situated near Paarl, about 30 minutes away from Cape Town, South Africa. The owner’s were looking for what they described as “barefoot luxury†where the interior was modern, but full of natural materials.
The glass stair railing keeps the hallway open and light from the floor-to-ceiling windows fills the space.
Rich wood floors are used throughout the home, warming up the raw concrete ceilings.
The pool can be viewed from all areas of the home with the massive sliding glass doors that completely open the spaces up.
The open concept kitchen area opens right up to the informal living room with views to the outdoors. Bold colors are interspersed with the natural materials, creating a cozy balance.
Using natural organic materials, like timber and stone, they were able to create a sense of warmth in the otherwise contemporary structure of the home.
The materials create a tactile feel, contrasting with the sleek, modern furnishings.
Really impressive home. I’m digging how natural it feels. Probably a little too formal for my personal taste, but it’s well designed. Everything just has such a tactile feel.
I’ve finally started posting some stuff to Dribbble. I’ve had an account for a long time, but I guess it’s time to show off some stuff. Here’s a little something I whipped up last night. It’s based on most a ton of trends I’ve seen lately. It’s kind of nice to get recognized by other designers out there.
Okay, technically these are not “bonsai”, but it’s a fun play off the idea. Really liking how they look. The use of plant life in this space is very nice.
