Design Decor: Interesting Finds About San Francisco

Published by

My city has come a long way, evolving into a prestige metropolis, well planned out over the past twenty-plus years and still going strong, integrating many improvements and modern architecture, while preserving some of the city’s historical elements. I love it. Spending days walking downtown studying the progress, snapping too many photographs of the past and the future to chronicle bygones-I’ve seen done in so many photographer’s coffee-table books. My favorite one shelved at my dentist’s office 🙂 If you are anything like me, you might appreciate the following tidbits about San Francisco, and maybe plan your travels to witness some of the upcoming changes. {To read about the SF street improvements click here}

We Need A Festival of Lights Everywhere and mostly in San Francisco

Published by

Feeling the need for visual therapy this morning, after scrolling through article after article about the Paris attacks and what we should and shouldn’t do. The idea of it all mentally draining, when thinking about it in dept. I decided I needed some lights, or fireworks or anything to do with happy thoughts to ease some of the anxiety starting to build up about the word around us.  The Berlin Festival of Lights which happened in October came to mind, admiring many of the Instagram photos and not saved online for our viewing pleasure.

Around The World: Beautiful Metro Stations

Published by

It’s sad to admit, San Francisco does not have the best looking metro stations. They are simple, functional and in my opinion outdated. I guess that will change when the new T line is finished which will connect the AT&T Ball Bark, Union Square to Chinatown. Until then I am in awe over these beautiful Metro stations from around the world. See article here.  

Photography I Can Only Imagine Taking

Published by

I have taken thousands of photographs in my lifetime. Most of them, as expected, while travelling.  They are great photographs that I cherish, and often  thumb through  in albums, and on my computer to feel inspired or simply to reflect on events gone by. So you can imagine how much I appreciate travel photographs taken by others, especially those I was unable to snap with my camera, even though at the time I wondered how I can get up there and snap that photo. Here are  some photos  I can pretty much imagine the exact location where the photographer stood to snap these amazing pictures.

Parisian Colorful Mosaic Tiles

Published by

As I stated before I go to Paris at least once a year, and each time I take the same photographs. I suppose I want to see if there is any change to all that I am familiar with and appreciate about the city of lights. And believe me there are many changes, or as they call it, improvements. But the mosaic tiles no far are still intact, and best photographed here.

A Note From the Author of Rawsilkandsaffron

Published by

I started blogging in 2006. At the time it was a trendy online place of my own where I could jot down everything that was going through my mind about life, family, work, society, religion, politics and even films. I realized after a handful of posts  that talking about what was bothering me wasn’t how I wanted to spend my time writing. It was bringing me down, and even though there were many followers,  at the end of the day I simply didn’t feel good. So I turned to happy topics, ones  that make me feel amazing and positive even if there are days I just want to hide somewhere and cry my heart out.  Call it the best therapy-blogging. What I did was shift my blog on Blogspot to films, and the ones on Wordpress, well, to Rawsilkandsaffron,  and my author blog MLKilian.  All of them fun topics. I still have the blog where I write down what ails me,  but I keep that one private and  limit those entries to only once in a blue …

I do, I really do love burgers

Published by

With a strict diet, mostly eating healthy and simpler meals, my body has adjusted to a regimented eating, seldom craving fatty, and high-calorie foods. Although once in a blue moon (which by the way is in full gear tonight) I crave burgers. The kind I want to load up with mushrooms, jalapeno, grilled onions, avocado, cheese, and anything else I can manage to stack in a sandwich, with that in mind I share with you one of my favorite blogs-Porn Burger. Check out just SOME of my favorites and for recipes go here:  

How My Brain Works

Published by

I wear many hats past being a blogger: I am an author, an event planner, software dev quality expert,  avid traveller, photographer fashion consultant, and a supporter of healthy eating and healthy lifestyle.  Not to forget mentioning,  film buff. Oh, and I do love the San Francisco Giants. Because of all that, my brain goes something like this:   {source}
