The month of turquoise begins!

2009-12-01T13:54:00.002+05:30

According to Tiffany & Co.'s pamphlet:

If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise blue;
Success will bless whate'er you do.

Ever wondering what this turquoise is all about? Well... Turquoise is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue. In recent times turquoise, like most other opaque gems, has been devalued by the introduction of treatments, imitations, and synthetics onto the market.

Since today is the very first day of the month of turquoise, may the success with you!

Should 'thoughts' be 'just thoughts' anymore?

Really a colorful masterpiece... fifteenthone just wanted to share!

Take a look at the mobile web !

" Mobile devices are growing at an astronomical pace. Statistics today show that there are about 7 billion people in the world today. Roughly 1.6 billion people are connected to the Internet via a computer (World Internet Statistics, 2009). But about 4.3 billion people have mobile phones. More than two-times the population has a mobile phone over a computer connected to the Internet (Murph, 2009). "

Interesting...isn't it? Think it's the time to have a look at the mobile web... Came across some good stuff by Cameronmoll... This might be a good start!

Half a year has gone by !

Dark and gloomy evening here at Colombo…!

Alfredo: Living here day by day, you think it's the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything's changed. The thread's broken. What you came to find isn't there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time... many years... before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It's not possible. Right now you're blinder than I am.

Salvatore: Who said that? Gary Cooper? James Stewart? Henry Fonda? Eh?

Alfredo: No, Toto. Nobody said it. This time it's all me. Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.

365 days of hope, peace, joy and love !

Four years far from the tragedy.

2008-12-26T09:22:00.007+05:30

It was 26 December 2004. A devastating tidal wave from west coast of Sumatra hardly hit the coastal areas of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand . The incident was extremely a miracle for many those who were in their day to day activities. More than 40,000 lives were devastated and nearly half a million were displaced by the Tsunami regarding to Sri Lanka.

It has been four years far from the tragedy…many of our relations had left us…the southern coastal area has been totally changed.In this day of remembrance, we must admire the unbelievable strength we gained from all over the world to rehabilitate the nation ,in the name of the humanity. And also we shall respect to Mother Nature whose powers never perish.

..again… the people who departed...your smiley faces are always remembered...!

For all who waiting for Santa !

…not the fourteenthone…it’s Fifteenthone!

2008-12-23T11:46:00.000+05:30

Well ...Let’s start the very first blog post with bit on fifteenthone…I am an individual who loves to draw the ampersand with curly ending rather than anyone else! Yeah...Ampersand has a unique shape and has miraculous power to bind two things together with pleasant and favorable manner…I believe.

Besides the ampersand, the fifteenthone (me) is a 23 years old human being on the planet Earth, who speaks Sinhala as the mother tongue. Sure...That means …I’m a blissful Sri Lankan who loves to live this tropical island with nourishing smiles of the inhabitants forever!

Currently, Fifteenthone studies at University of Moratuwa while concentrating on Graphic Design and Legal studies during the spare time. Even I have a Facilities Management background in the University, I love Graphic design and it motivates me every time. It paves a path towards the “feel and heal”...Got it? …That’s it!

If the Master Asela Jayarathne didn’t use to ask that “hey buddy...don’t you interested in graphics…I mean …designing….?” I may not the fifteenthone... may be just any other one. Later, Mr.Joe Lenora assured that I could do something rather than nothing, with few designing tools. Rajitha Madubahsha , Buddhika Laknath and Anjana Fernando proved me that nothing can achieved without been killing yourself, especially when you want to be a someone. Lankitha Wimalarathne, an inspiring character teaches me how to work hard, how to work till you make yourself feel more happy and comfortable.

Thanks! Thank you all the Masters and Gurus out there!…you let me to be the fifteenthone…so um fifteenthone...not the fourteenthone..!
