The Royal Wedding

So we watched the Royal Wedding live on BBC n I was blown away... literally  *-*

From the start to the finish, the wedding ceremony was nothing but sheer pleasure to watch!

To start off, Kate Middleton's dress was GORGEOUS!!! It was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

The dress is made with ivory and white satin gazar.  The skirt echoes an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats.  The train measures two metres 70 centimetres.  The ivory satin bodice, which is narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry and is a hallmark of Alexander McQueen’s designs.  The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.  The underskirt is made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace.

The dress is very similar in design to Grace Kelly's wedding dress.

Almost every woman at the wedding had a hat or another form of a headpiece on! It really was quite a sight!

Just thought I'd post some pictures that I particularly liked from the net  :P

Pippa's dress was also made by Sarah Burton at Alexander Mcqueen!!  : D

Lady Catherine  :)

Prince William and Kate Middleton got their first royal wedding present from the Queen!!  The titles Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! 

The palace statement said William was also named the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. Middleton took those titles when she said "I will," becoming Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

Strathearn ties William and Middleton to Scotland, where the pair met and fell in love. Baron Carrickfergus is a little-used title which refers to one of the oldest towns in Northern Ireland.

Just Married

After the lunchtime reception, the couple were seen driving away in Prince Charles' 1969 Aston Martin convertible!!!!  : D

The car was given to Prince Charles as a 21st Birthday present, and he had it converted in 2008 so that it runs on biofuel made from English wine wastage.

Well, that just about sums it up!  :)  Hope you all enjoyed today as much as I did!

C ya!  :)

30-3-2011 Esther's ATM

1. Twitter has forced me into the habit of microblogging. I can never blog again, that is considering the fact that i used to blog. scratch that out. Im a microblogger. I was a notebook writer before. I sat and looked at my right hands index finger very carefully and realise that i have this HOLE in my skin. a DENT. Infact it almost looks like a crater. Thanks a lot education, because of u my perfect fingerprint will now be ruined forever.

2. My Nikon D80's current use is to click high resolution quality pictures of my forensic notes -.- I dont think im gonna talk further on the subject. Pray that nothing happens to my laptop until the exams are over.

3. My exams are starting in 11 days and i've just spent the last 1 hour painting my left hand nails with the tricolors and my toes with the color of the cricket team uniform - blue. I've also remembered that when im going to examine the patients they will see this. It could end up 2 ways. Either they become patriotic and think about the match and forget about their illness OR thinking about the match, they might wish they were at home watching it instead of being here. This could make them even more depressed leading to the worsening of their condition. Oh well :P GO INDIAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ermmm yeaa i have weird fingers

Until the next 3ATM, Bon nuit :D

Feathers

Bonjour Beautiful people :D

Its been almost a month since I actually wrote something sensible (*cough) here... So Im gonna spare you all the made up excuses about being too busy to even breathe (which is partially true btw)

Not that I forgot about the blog, infact everytime we did something cool and interesting, all I wanted to do was turn on my laptop and write down a retarded 3 page article (*thankfully I didn't :P)

Anyway, meet Tiki, Tiko, Peri and Peru!!!   :D

LUNCH TIME :D

Tiki and Tiko are 2 hillarious guinea fowl my grandmother bought from a research farm in Chandor.

About 2 years ago, there was a HUGE snake problem in the area we live- cobras, grass snakes and all sorts of weird village snakes started appearing out of nowhere ( or maybe they were always there but just never had the courage to get out in the open). It freaked out a lot of people- grandma being one of them.

Everyone suggested buying a mongoose (which would be a retarded option- I mean, who in the world has a mongoose as a pet?) or a guinea fowl. Thankfully she resorted to buying a cute pair of the most beautiful looking birds ever.

Tiki - the male guinea fowl

Milkybar and Bluebell

Milkybar was a pearly white and Bluebell was a lovely shade of royal blue. They were AWESOME! Infact, Bluebell was such a cartoon, he used to kill snakes and place them on our neighbors doorstep (which used to freak them out really badly :P)

Unfortunately wolves ate them  :(

Anyway, back to the point- Tiki and Toko are the Guinea fowl ( the ones which are smaller and more white) AND Peri and Peru are the Turkeys ( a little bigger and more brown)    :P

The turkeys :D :D my retarded babies :D

(NOTE - these pics are over 3 weeks old, thats when we first bought the little critters. They are 

much bigger now and even have a professional home :P)

Peri/ Peru (hard to tell when they were babies -.-)

The turkeys were better models I felt - Score 9/10 right? :P

I clicked a bunch of pics of them today (which I'll be posting maybe sometime this week)

and if you'll have any views on the photographs ( constructive criticism I may add), I'd LOVE to hear about it!   :D

Until next time,

:*

Silver for the Pig

It all started with a promise of a Piggie bank... and then disaster! Broken, shattered, it was now no more than tiny fragments of a friend's love...

I never really had a chance to see it...

Then, out of nowhere, a suggestion and an idea appeared out of nowhere!

A mud pot! That's what I started out with.

This is what I started out with!

A little love and care added, quick drying clay here and there, a little paint to touch up and there it stood!

My very own home made Piggie!  :)  :)

The end product  :)

Mr. Piggie became pretty popular and pretty soon, I was on my way to thanking the friend who inspired me by making him a Piggie bank! This one had its own little laptop ( Sadly, I don't have a picture of it  :(  )

I'm starting on another one! Esther said she'd like a 'Jailbird Piggie'  x D

It sounded like a pretty cute idea so I decided to do it!! I will post the result when its done  :)

Thought I'd post some pictures of Mr. Piggie  :)   Esther clicked them  : D 

Mr. Piggie often dreams of the great outdoors!

Ellen enjoys 'feeding' Mr. Piggie

After a hard day's work, Mr. Piggie loves to cuddle up and sleep  ^.^

Cos Laughter is a Good Thing!

A friend of mine had recently posted it on his Facebook wall, and today, I find myself eagerly waiting for a new one every week!

What am I talking about? COMICSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I have vivid and delicious memories of slipping Archie comics behind School text books and reading them when lectures got... well, a little boring  : P  So Im a bit of a comic addict  (Geeky? GUILTY!!!)

I soon outgrew them and moved on to actually living life but once in a while, I do come across comic strips and my childhood creeps right back  : D

So I decided to share these webcomics in particular! They're from this site www.pajamaforest.com and are ADORABLE!!!  :)  

They are created by Evan Diaz. He comes out with a new one twice a week so YAY!!!! I decided to post a few of my favorites on our blog as well  : )

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did  : D

P.S. I may have had to slice the comics into little bits cos they didn't really fit into the space on our blog  :(  Really sorry about that!  :(

I happen to be a HUGE WoW fan so I decided to post this one  : D

WoW WIFE 1

 And this one was just so DARN CUTE!!!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A GOOD TIME

I kinda wanted to put these up too but since I couldn't, I'm just gonna link them!

Catch of the week

Ok, we're starting this new thing where we're gonna tell you guys about some of the awesome stuff we come across  :P

I really don't wanna brag but I'm an extreme shopaholic and don't really leave a place empty handed  :D

Esther says its a disgusting habit cos I end up buying stupid things like paper clips and multi- colored pens just for the heck if it when she believes the money should be saved for something more worth it or useful  O_o

Anyway, I'm dedicating a post every week to some of my awesomely useless finds  :D

Hope u guys enjoy it  :)

This week, I'd like to put up something I didn't buy!  :P  

A dear friend got this for me and personally I found it adorable  ^.^

Its basically made of thread with two little glass fish!!  :D  Its from Fabindia and costs somewhere around Rs. 235.

Well, Esther and I took this opportunity to shoot some crazy photographs! Here are some of the 'sensible' one  :D  :P

Okkk... I cant really seem to get this picture right side up so WHATEVER!!!! Esther is gonna HATE me for this!!!  ^.^   She basically had to squeeze into that tiny little space to capture some of the pictures  ^.^  

 

And that's about it  :D 

See you next week for another amazing find!
Toodles!!!
