This birthday definitely was! For one thing, I turned 3-0! Gosh, even writing that down felt so...weird. When I was sixteen 30 was ancient. So here I am, all ancient, and STILL feeling as uncertain as a teenager when it comes to certain things!

Mark surprised me with dinner at Fish & Co (YUM!YUM!) in Trinoma--it's actually an entire belt of ( Read more... )

...Is one of those a-little-more-challenging-to-get-through days for me. Yesterday was particularly difficult as I had greeted all my friends and acquaintances who were mothers. I got quite a number saying, "Thanks! Happy mother's day to yours, too!"

And I never know what to do when that happens. So I end up not responding.

Before I get into detail about NSD, some CT stuff--am currently working on an LO for Dianne Rigdon's new collab kit with Doris:

That's National Scrapbooking Day to the uninitiated. My adventures in digiland last May 3 definitely merit a post, which I will do tomorrow as tonight I'll be compiling my gadzillion purchases (okay, a modest gadzillion) into my EHD and computer as well as do a full accounting for how much I spent exactly. In the meantime, Aggie has generously ( Read more... )

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. Been having too much work, too much stress (work- and family-wise) and not enough sleep. I need a vacation. I need a laptop. And unlimited WiFi.

Lately I've been so tired trying to keep up with things that need to be done (WORK, chores, volunteer stuff, WORK, etc). For the last few weekends if I wasn't working on something I'd be zombied-out in front of the TV. My biggest accomplishment for myself from two weekends ago is probably finishing the first season of How I Met Your Mother. (I ( Read more... )

Just a quick peep-this season (Jan-Mar 2008) is what I deem LoveIsLEAP 31's First Anniversary! Happy Anniv, kotches, students, facis! :D

Was hopping mad late last night and just totally frustrated with myself and...well, another person. Needed to cheer myself up.

So Friday night di ako mapakali (did i say that right?). I loved the photo I used for my previous LO (see previous entry). It's just that the whole effect was a mess. So I decided to challenge myself: could I try for a deliberately pared-down LO that simply highlighted the photo? Amazingly, once I limited myself to select elements, this came ( Read more... )
