Spotted

I had the craziest day yesterday, working on something from 3 p.m to 3 a.m...super super tired but happy! :)

N.y.L.a top, silk trousers from S's mom, Guess bag, Topshop bow brooch, Allura flower headpiece, Lilly's Closet shoes

Btw, this is just sad and pathetic. My illustration by Lala Bohang was used as a design for this shirt, spotted by Hyacintha in Bandung..:(

This is the 2nd time already someone used this particular illustration. How rude.

A true story by Vic Gundotra:

One Sunday morning, January 6th, 2008 I was attending religious services when my cell phone vibrated. As discreetly as possible, I checked the phone and noticed that my phone said "Caller ID unknown". I choose to ignore.

After services, as I was walking to my car with my family, I checked my cell phone messages. The message left was from Steve Jobs. "Vic, can you call me at home? I have something urgent to discuss" it said.

Before I even reached my car, I called Steve Jobs back. I was responsible for all mobile applications at Google, and in that role, had regular dealings with Steve. It was one of the perks of the job.

"Hey Steve - this is Vic", I said. "I'm sorry I didn't answer your call earlier. I was in religious services, and the caller ID said unknown, so I didn't pick up".

Steve laughed. He said, "Vic, unless the Caller ID said 'GOD', you should never pick up during services".

I laughed nervously. After all, while it was customary for Steve to call during the week upset about something, it was unusual for him to call me on Sunday and ask me to call his home. I wondered what was so important?

"So Vic, we have an urgent issue, one that I need addressed right away. I've already assigned someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow" said Steve.

"I've been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I'm not happy with the icon. The second O in Google doesn't have the right yellow gradient. It's just wrong and I'm going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Of course this was okay with me. A few minutes later on that Sunday I received an email from Steve with the subject "Icon Ambulance". The email directed me to work with Greg Christie to fix the icon.

Since I was 11 years old and fell in love with an Apple II, I have dozens of stories to tell about Apple products. They have been a part of my life for decades. Even when I worked for 15 years for Bill Gates at Microsoft, I had a huge admiration for Steve and what Apple had produced.

But in the end, when I think about leadership, passion and attention to detail, I think back to the call I received from Steve Jobs on a Sunday morning in January. It was a lesson I'll never forget. CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.

To one of the greatest leaders I've ever met, my prayers and hopes are with you Steve.

Him & Transformers 3

"I don't care. You have to write in your blog that Transformers is the best movie in the world. If not, I'll hack into your account and write it myself. I really think they actually exist, you know?"

No Wonder I Like Skies

Diana (pronounced with long 'ī' and 'ā') is an adjectival form developed from an ancient *divios, corresponding to later 'divus', 'dius', and in the neuter form dium meaning the sky. It is rooted in Indoeuropean *d(e)y(e)w, meaning bright sky or daylight.

Blueprint Emporium

Hi, all...I'm off to Singapore until Monday as Up will be joining Blueprint (Emporium) 2011, an Asian fashion event in Singapore which will be held in Marina Bay Sands, Expo & Convention Centre Hall B & C, 21-22 May 2011...:)

At Blueprint Emporium, you'll be able to shop till you drop hehehe..I myself have checked out the other brands that will be participating and I've been thinking hard on how to be present at my own booth while at the same time shop around hahah..and yes, this event is open for public..:)

Aannnd it's gonna be a very 'scary' experience for me since my brand is relatively new and I don't know how the people in Singapore will respond to it...but hopefully they'll love it! Nevertheless, I'm sure it's gonna be a great, insightful experience to meet other designers and brands from all over Asia, and to also chat with (hopefully) new customers from Singapore...:)

Thanks for all your support, guys...I love you! :)
