Bubbling Up in Brunei

Bubbling Up, my second Tumblr theme, made it to the Theme Garden not more than a week after I blogged about my newfound love of Tumblr and its bevy of hipster puppies. What do you think? I personally prefer this theme over my first one.

Bubbling Up, a Tumblr theme

On a totally related note (you’ll see how at the end), I recently went on a business trip to Brunei, where my coworkers and I were lucky enough to stay at the swanky Empire Hotel under a sky this blue:

Uninterrupted blue

You know you’re staying in a five-star hotel room when the bathroom is as big as your bedroom at home, when you can walk barefoot on the carpet without fear of contracting a flesh-eating disease, and when the bed is so luxuriously comfortable that you want to marry it and have its babies.

Non-grimy carpet! Whoo!

The bed I fell in love with in Brunei

Although the bed turned down my marriage proposal, the three nights we spent together will forever be among my fondest memories.

Room with a view

Want to make furniture look tiny? Put them beside floor-to-ceiling glass windows rising five stories high. Want to see me eat the equivalent of my body weight in cheese and chocolate? Set me loose on a scrumptious hotel buffet.

Unfortunately I soon discovered that there’s only so much yummy a tummy can take. After one of the many unscheduled toilet breaks I ended up taking throughout the trip, I had the following conversation with two of my coworkers. While we were all in business suits. In a conference room. With some of our biggest clients just out of earshot.

Me: I just took a satisfying dump.
Coworker 1: Me, too!
Coworker 2: I love it when that happens. Doesn’t it give you an extra spring in your step?
Me: I should post this conversation on Tumblr later.
Coworker 2: Here, use my iPhone!

That ends the story of how the chat entitled “Bet your workplace isn’t as awesome as mine” ended up on my tumblelog — which, by the way, is currently decked out in my Bubbling Up theme. See, I told you it was all related!

    • Hiii, I absolutely love your Tumblr themes. Was just wondering if you would ever consider making a pink one? Not really requesting but I would undoubtedly be TOTALLY overjoyed if you did one.

    • I was going through my Tumblr when I noticed at the very of one of the sites I’m following these four words:

      “Theme by Nikki Brion”

      Astig, Nikki! Oh yeah and I’ve been totally addicted with my Tumblr lately ^_^

    • It’s nice, but I’m still favouring your doodles theme, mainly because the latter has the cool icons for distinguishing the different post categories. In fact, if you combined the features of this new theme (the static column for rss/archives/random/about; display of tags) with the older theme, it’d be just about perfect. Thanks for all your hard work!
