You've probably had enough of all the motivational quotes on pretty backgrounds, and all those pictures of abs saying 'you are what you eat'. Or whatever they normally say...you know the ones I'm referring to. Well, I'm here to un-motivate you with the help of Starshaped Press, just in case the natural causes haven't got to you yet. I mean...it's the middle of February, that's almost two months . . .

Love Letters
Apparently I've become quite the design-nerd since starting work at my agency. Perhaps that is true, as I found this proposal kinda cute. San Francisco-based designer Will Geddess recently proposed to his girlfriend through the use of typographic posters. Titled 'love letters', 19 posters were created by Geddess and his fellow graphic designer, illustrator and tattoo artist friends. Together, . . .
Quarter of a Century
As I listen to 'Close to You' by The Carpenters on the way to work, it really hits me that I've reached a quarter of a century. The big day was last week, and despite the splattering of cosmopolitans on its eve...the birthday weekend was comprised of a quiet weekend away from the city. (Note: Shanghai is a city of 23 million, Suzhou's population of 10.5 million is quiet in perspective.) Gone are . . .
Just another Sunday…
I was going to have a little whinge about how my body clock has awoken me at 9am on a Sunday morning once again. About how I couldn't choose between Western or Asian food to order in for lunch. About how my Internet was insanely slow today. Then I read the news about Cory Monteith's death and suddenly things got thrown a little into perspective. Perhaps I'm not one of the teenage screaming fans . . .
Flying Woes
If you are to make a complaint, you might as well make it brilliant enough that Richard Branson would blog about it. Congratulations Arthur Hicks, and I'm sorry about your bag. . . .
Reasons My Son Is Crying
Greg Pembroke is a 32-year-old father of two boys under the age of 4. After observing his fair share of temper tantrums, he decided to share his fatherhood experiences in a blog called Reasons My Son Is Crying. The simple beginnings of posting photos on Facebook for friends and family soon turned into a Tumblr internet sensation. It's quite a laugh, you'll soon see why...Meet Charlie. "I . . .
Their Story
A little something closer to my heart, that I hope will add a pinch of cute to your Friday morning. Just the other night, a close friend of mine proposed. Plenty of thought, loads of love and months of preparation went into this one. The lucky girl was asked to watch a "private screening of the Great Gatsby" at a local cinema but little did she know, this was what she saw . . .
Glittering Eyes
It has been a hectic three weeks. Time, please slow down a little, please stroll along and smell the flowers before deciding to spin away at crazy speeds. "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl . . .
Happy Street Day
Everyone wants to make a difference, everyone wants to do good. I believe it is part of human nature, some may argue otherwise. They might point out those that do things just to to make themselves feel better, just to attempt to right some wrongs, just to show others that they have made a positive contribution. There are however, the ones that want to do good because they believe in making the . . .
