Photo reblogged from The Aestate with 823 notes


Taking inspiration from the surrounding mountain range in Nanshan, the newly designed Chongqing Mountain & City Sales Office has come to life. The interior architecture of the office, designed by One Plus Partnership, has its valleys and its peaks. The space is fitted with an abstract version of a mountain, by connecting triangular grey marble faces to one another. The “mountain range” is central in the office, and custom built angular bronze desks are randomly scattered around architectural element. A field of tube lighting drapes down from the ceilings creating an aesthetic of a rain shower pounding down on the rocks.(via KNSTRCT)

Fuck yea architecture.

Video

Now I love train as much as the next girl (ok fine I’m obsessed)… but this song has one significant problem.

It is magnificently catchy, but the chorus contains an unfortunate line (at 0:49).  The true lyrics read “fell in a cement mixture full of quicksand.”  Let me be the first to say, that is not what I heard.  You see, Pat Monahan seems to have an interesting accent on the first ‘e’ in cement… as if he were saying “seee-ment.”  The major problem here is that the ‘t’ is almost silent when he sings it.  You get what I’m saying.  Enjoy the song!

Although an interesting lyric that I will continue to misconstrue, I still love the shit out of this song!

Vacation

It’s something everyone yearns for.  We work and work and work just so we can take a few days off (or a few months, apparently, if you are a college student like myself).

But then, these vacations, we have to fill them with things; the exotic, the travel, the shopping and the parties.  It is a requirement; just so we can return to work with a mask of a smile and say “Yes, I had a wonderful time.”

Is that really true? Very few people say they had a dreadful vacation, even if it was, in fact, dreadful.  Vacation, instead of being a relaxing experience, we feel forced to cram as many “exciting” and expensive things as possible into each day.  Somehow, we still feel like we failed.

So how about myself?  I’ve been all over Europe, Canada, and the United States… even Alaska.  Funny enough, my favorite memories from all of these excursions was the travel itself.  It’s because I like doing.  And purpose.  Why do we need to participate in so many trivial things?  My ultimate goal in travel is to explore Southeast Asia.  Never staying in one place more than a day or buying useless souvenirs… just traveling and seeing, in other words, doing what I love.

I suppose that is why I and so many others feel such a sense of relief upon returning to school (or work).  Each day has a purpose and a new lesson to be learned.  Because that is what we really want from these vacations: Knowledge.

Basically one of the things I’d rather be doing right now… (instead of studying for physics… be sitting on a nice sexy man’s lap)  ;)
