Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Heartsie Girls

Another week is here and October has arrived!

let's fight #breastcancer together!

Just when I thought the end of September will be nicer to me, I was completely wrong.
I was again swept out by some emergency issues at the office and there goes my weekend.
Puuuft.
Gone with the wind.

But as expected, the sessions for all the UN Main Committee (1 to 6) has kicked in.
My head is with the 4th Committee now, but tons of 3rd Committee works are waiting.
My apologies for all my UNGA talks :).

How's your week?

I managed to sneak out to Corona Park in Quees, waved goodbye to friends who are going back to Indonesia for good and celebrate National batik Day at the office. I was wearing the pink Batik from Papua, in honor of the October Breast Cancer month and Papua, my belovedland of peace.

 And as this is October, the month for Breast Cancer, I would definitely dedicate some posts for the fight against breast cancer! 
I have once again submitted my team to walk and raise donation for cancer.org by joining Making Strides against Breast Cancer at Central Park, October 15, 2017. 
Please join me and help support our fight against breast cancer.
Check out my page HERE and any support and donations are warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated :)

Kicking-off breakfast for Making Strides against Breast Cancer

I visited my oncologist last week for my monthly check ups and we are discussing a lot about some of the side effects of the cancer-suppressant pill that I took for the last couple of years. I do have some complaints with my bones and joints. Will share more about it! 

Now, let me invite you to join Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Heartsie Girls!

But Now......Lets Party......​

An InLinkz Link-up

WW: Unisphere at Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Queens, NYC

A quick gateway to our beloved Queens neighborhood, with a visit to one of its jewels, the Unisphere, or a giant steel globe built for 1964 New York World's Fair. 

Beautifully located at Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Queens, NYC, I got a chance to unwind a bit with my family. It was such a beautiful day, so I made sure I took some pictures there :)

We were lucky we still have some colorful flowers and shrubs near the area, adding some beautiful touch to this complex.

 

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the links

Homey Casa Battló, Barcelona, Spain

"What is that, maman?" asked Bo, pointing to the façade outside of the famous apartment redesigned by Gaudi.
Those windows are indeed extraordinary.
"It looks like bones! Like fish bones!" exclaimed Bo. 
"You're right! Those windows remind me of fish bones," my hubby said.
That morning, we were stepping into out-of-this-world architecture situated in one elegant corner of Barcelona, Spain.
And our trip to Gaudi's world has just started.

***
 
So, it's time for #throwbacktuesday.
I kind of miss a few posts for these series due to the crazy schedules of meetings at UNGA High Level Week.
Let me now, take you to Barcelona, Spain, then.
To be exact, another trip to Gaudí's out-of-this-world creation.
And what I have here is Casa Batlló.

inside the fish bone hall :)

We visited beautiful city of Barcelona back in 2009.
Flying from Geneva with Bo et Udi (Obi hasn't been born yet), we stayed for 10 days in Spain and our road trip started in Barcelona. It was our end-of-winter trip, escaping the cold weather Geneva and heading south to Spain.
We had planned 9-day road trip starting and ending in Barcelona, exploring Madrid, Toledo, Zaragoza, Sevilla, Granada, Valencia, and back to Barcelona.
Quite ambitious but my hubby and I were super excited!

The cute roof we have here..

So, any of you are familiar with Antoni Gaudí?
Or you have visited Casa Batlló yourself?
 Who's Gaudi?

To me, Gaudí's brilliant, one-of-a-kind technique is a vivid example of his incredible imagination. This architect was born in 1852 in Reus and has long been famous for his indigenous creations. Claimed to be 'prodigious' on his era, Gaudi had been presenting unique works of art which beautifully blend into functioning designs and details inspired by nature. His original works in creating those concepts and spaces have won the hearts of many important figures in Spain and his works can now be enjoyed in many forms.
 
 The first time I saw his work in many parts of  Barcelona, including the one-and-only Parc Güell, Casa Millà dan Sagrada Familia, I can't help but admire his works.

The windows! super cute right...and look at the 'bones' structure

Only a few blocks from La Pedrera, Casa Batlló ,- a lavish yet unique apartment, is another proof of Gaudi's amazing interpretation of Art Nouveau.
And this time, it's reflecting the 'underwater world' in a broader sense.
Underwater world.
My fave!
Underwater world duly applied to the apartment design.
Well, at least that's what I heard on the audio guide .

the lights...

The roof has a lot more interesting shapes, colors, and textures

So, I wouldn't mind at all to stay in this wonderful apartment.
And of course, the details are amazing.
Still with Gaudi's signature, no straight lines.
Can you imagine...one incredible building with no straight lines!

It took us around 1.5 hours to see many parts of this apartment.
From the main hall, the Noble Floor, bedrooms, kitchen, staircases and ceilings, to the laundry room and the roof!
I have to admit the great attraction was the roof, with  a lot more intereting shapes, colors, and textures.
Somehow the chimney and the top of the roof reminded me of garlic and the dragon!
Weird combination, I know, but it's strikingly reminding me of these 2 items as we spend some times and take tons of pictures on the roof of Casa Battló.

Let's take a look at it closer.

the lights on the ceiling.. you see the ceiling is nothing ordinary

Bo having fun at the roof..

The chimneys :)..with garlic-inspired cross.

Don't miss Casa Batlló if you get a chance to visit Barcelona
Its address is Passeig de Gràcia, 43, 08007 Barcelona, Spain.
You can get more information from the website as well and check www.casabattle.es 
The tickets are around 23 Euro per person. But better check the website again as they also have several options for the tickets.

Have you seen Gaudi's works before?

Do you like them? 

I hope you enjoy traveling and happy to share #myitchyfeet story.
Bon voyage!
