A parcel from h.e.r

She went on a post-it rampage. Little notes on different pages in the POSTSECRET book. I fell in love with h.e.r all over again.

Package from "onbside" all the way from Chicago!
Look what I got in the mail last night! Yet another package :) Took a while. But I appreciate it. Look they had to re-write Hong Kong just in case, to be sure it didn’t arrive in Japan. Cuz we don’t speak Japanese in Hong Kong. Hahaha.
Yea baby yeah! This should be an interesting read. A nice big shout out goes to (onbside) a.k.a Nadia for sending this copy of Frank 151 all the...

Now meet Jonathan van Smit, a gweilo from New Zealand working in finance to fund his obsession with street photography. He loves Hong Kong and especially Kowloon, where he strolls around for hours taking shots. This actually makes...

Facebook Blocker
I am beyond excited to have found Facebook Blocker. As you might guess, I am not fond of all those like buttons popping up on every site in the internetz-universe. When I discovered the first Facebook Like Button over on Apple, I nearly fell off my chair. Here’s a brand, Apple, that I thought would *never* implement a Facebook button. I guess I was wrong.
Obviously I am not the only one...
loveinteriordeco asked: your letter tot he Iraqi girl was beautifully written.

Dear Iraqi Girl In My Seminar, I Like Your Hijab -...
To The Iraqi Girl In My Seminar,
I like your hijab. It’s such a simple phrase, only four words. I like your hijab because it—though I have not felt it—seems to be made of silk. It lays perfectly and frames your face; it brings out the dark eyes you try so desperately to hide from the class. I actually like all of your hijabs, though I don’t know how many you have, but you seem to have a...

Los Angeles
A MAN is measured by his automobile in this city. But Vincent Kartheiser, the actor who plays the slick ad salesman Pete Campbell on “Mad Men,” is among the 10 percent of Angelenos who rely on public transportation. So on a Thursday night he and a reporter got around using his preferred, and for now, only, method of transportation: mass transit.
“I guess I’ve been shopping for...
