Hubby's Work in BG Gallery

Finally, after 2 attempts, hubby's work of love got into the BG Gallery. He was so happy about it.

See below for the wento's of each page as described by hubby:

Mi Amore - Album Layout This is my very first scrapbook layout. I have taken a challenge to myself that I would like to see my layout in BG gallery and my anniversary gift to my loving wife. My wife has inspired me a lot for the BG challenge and as a matter of fact, I was in the picture in her BG layout posted last October. As anniversary gift, please grant me the chance for this layout to be posted... To be honest, I was also surprised in the outcome... Truly A Gift for the Heart, A Gift for the woman who has taken my Heart away! Each layout has a story to tell and a secrets to unveil. Beautiful flowers as border for the most beautiful woman - My Wife... Ella (the brads at the corner spells out her name) What to expect: - more than 7 BG papers were used - new layout - new dimensioning - embossing 3D and 4D - touch of Origami - and my favorite sites... picture of my wife

1. Open Album Favorite Things (Left wing) and Cutee! (right wing) and Love - It's all about LOVE and LOVElla my wife (center wing) overview

2. Favorite Things (Lower Left) This is my favorite picture of my wife that I have taken... Gorgeous isn't she! Her favorite things... scrapbook materials and Taz (hard to admit that he's not in love with her - but looking in the LOVE letters). The flower is 3D embossed and 4D.

Altered Piknik Can

Today, Hubby and I just stayed in the house. We cleaned and organized our cabinets in the kitchen and bedroom. Hubby also played with his new Dart pins that we bought last night. He attached his Dart Board in our backyard.

While I was cleaning our room, I was about to throw the piknik can that I was keeping for months now but I changed my mind and altered it to make it a medicine can. Able to finish it for less than 30mins thus it was so simple.

Materials:
Piknik Can, Scenic Route PPS, MME card, Prima Flower, Bling, Modge Podge.

Belated MERRY XMAS '07

I've been busy for the past few weeks and been MIA on my blogs. Anyway, I'll just do a recap within the week. However, just want to give an update about some things that happened today.

We took a leave yesterday and just got back to work today (hubby was working at home yesterday). Had lunch in KFC because I was craving for it since last week. The TV ad was successful with me. Hehe.

Recv the scrapbooking toys I bought from the US. My officemate brought it home for free. Thanks Rollie! Oh I love them. However, I may need to sell the MM Tool Kit II.



My scrapping hubby wants the old one and we don't need 2 tool kits. Anybody interested??? Just PM me.

Oh well, Christmas passed two days ago, but gifts are still coming in.



Got a Strawberry Candy from Baguio. thanks to Maybel & Allan.
Got a Halaya from Shey. Yummy. Her mom is so good on cooking this dessert. I really love it.
Got a Bowl from an ex-officemate - Ma'am Miriam, thanks for still remembering us.
And .... got a VS Love Spell cologne from Kuya Rowen & Tin c/o Rollie.

Thank You! Thank You!
Ang babait NINYO!!!
THANK YOU!!

Personal Bedding for Me

I love taking pictures and I love making use of pictures. I use them for my scrapbook pages and greeting cards. I love giving gifts which are mostly personalized. I also love receiving a personalized gift. This Christmas season, some gift ideas i have in my mind are birthstone inspired rosary, an 8x8 scrapbook page, personalized pen, personalized mugs and personalized bracelets. I also heard of personalized blankets, bedding, pillows and even dog beds. Any picture of animals can turn into a cute and lovely Animal Bedding. This would be a nice present for friends and family. But, I also love to have one of those. Santa, can you hear me? I'm watching out. I am not crying. I am not pouting. I've been naughty but I've also been nice because I know you're coming to town. Do you have my animal bedding now?

I hope Santa would hear me but if he doesn't, I know you can read this. Can you be my Santa?

Live Chat

If gives a smile on my face when I remember my teenage years. I'm not a troublesome kid but I also have some naughtiness. When I was in my early college years, I remember that I use to join the live chat lines. This is where we dialed a number then we will hear all the noise and conversation that is going on. We have our own code name like batibot, maldita, and others. Most of the people in the chat line are teenagers. It was fun because we get to use a free chat. Identify is also hidden although at times you can give your number to a member for a personal chat by leaving the chat line. I used to be a lurker in those times but whenever I hear somebody voicing out their numbers, I dialed them and don't answer. This is so naughty of me. But those were my teenage years. The funny thing is I was also able to influenced my cousins in joining the chat. By the way, I also gained friends in this teen chat. It was not that bad at all.

I got to see the latest version of this live chat. But this time, it's not for everybody. You must be over 18 years of age to join. The thing I like about this new teen chat is that they offer a lot of things like greeting creation, leaving of voice personal, dating tips, advise for singles and a lot more. Well, I think, if I am still a teenager and still single, I would definitely give this a try. I think this would really be fun and exciting because you can meet new friends and other people from different places

Still Here....

I'm getting depressed and disappointed. I'm still in the office... as usual... waiting for my dear hubby. He's asking me a while ago to car pool with our officemate. But too unfortunate that he'll not be passing by our area today. He just then told me to wait for him.

I thought... it would not take this long. I'm now too tired and hungry. Sometimes I wonder... what does he prioritize?!. Kainis.

Actually, a visitor from Bangladesh was talking to him awhile ago and telling him to go home. He told him had been working so hard and he need some time off and socialize. But... he didn't listen. He said that he doesn't have a choose coz his boss will kill him. I just wonder how? He's so far from here (INDIA).

Sorry for this ranting. I just wish that I'll not faint of hunger... sign...

Comparing Bad Credit Providers

Having a bad credit history is crucial in getting a loan that an individual needs. It is really hard to get back into good shape. However, BadCreditOffers.com is allowing those people to compare offers from major bad credit loans providers to find the best offer that will fit their requirements and needs. They would not need to grab the first opportunity that will knock their doors. If they will be a good payer by making their payments on-time, consumers will be able to rebuild their credit standing for future financial needs. They will not need to worry because a second chance is always possible. BadCreditOffers.com offers credit cards, home loans, auto loans, personal loans, credit reports and credit reports. And you can search immediately because their website is loaded with informations. Go and check them here.

Bago at Mainit-init Pa....

I just started a new Blog about personal finance because I think that my future entries on that blog will contradict most of the items in my main blog. Hmmmm....

To date, I have 3 blogs in blogger as follows:

1. Journey to this Thing called LIFE
- This will be my main blog about life and my scrapbooking journey.

2. My Random Thoughts
- This will be the storage of my random thoughts, poems, rants, rave , fears or in other words.. the hidden me.

3. Ang Piso Ko
- This blog will be all about the money and all about the dum dum because I don't think it's funny to see it fade away. Hehehe.

Yun lang.... feel free to visit all my blogs to see my multiple personality.

Credit Worries

There are times that we may need to make a loan to buy our dream home, dream car or even dream business. There would also be time that we will need a personal loan . The problem will arise if we have a poor credit. Many credit providers don't give loans to individuals with poor credit. Good credit standing is like a passport for us to get the loan we need.

However, there is a new website that provides loan opportunities for those with good and even bad credits. They offer instant processing on all loans.They also provide the chance to compare the best credit cards which meet our needs. We don't need to worry about this company because they were recognized as one of the leading online loan providers for those with bad credits. So what are you waiting for? If you need a loan now, go and check what they have to offer you.

Shopping Galore

After we attended Sophia's christening, hubby and I went to "Almost Christmas Bazaar" in St. James Ayala Alabang for another round of shopping. Hubby was able to buy 4 short sleeves polo from 2 different sellers. Total price was only 1000. I was also able to buy a nice blouse for only 400. See pix below.


We also got to buy some tapioca for gift and hubby's favorite "Taba ng Talangka" but was not able to take pix of these items.

Btw, the sellers in this bazaar are fewer compared to the "St. James Bazaar" but we're still able to see lots of good buys for gifts. Parang mas ok pa nga mamili in this bazaar coz it's not as crowded like the St. James'.

We're home at around 4pm... early... because hubby needs to work from home... hmmmp..


SUNDAY
We went to Pasig for Hubby's dental appointment with his sister. The rubber in his braces were changed. We also went to my parents house. I made lambing to my mom to cook some sopas. It was so good. Na-miss ko yata talaga ang sopas. I was able to finish a big bowl of it. Hehehe. We also went to a "manghihilot" because hubby's thumb was aching. But seems hubby was not satisfied with the "hilot". We left my parents house at 15minutes passed 2pm. Hinatid muna namin sister ko to her office in Libis before driving to SLEX.

Then... I met with Chona in St. James... to get my AMM Tote. It was nice for a 500 value. I love it. Hubby and I went to the bazaar again. We picked up the 1L of peppermint massage oil that we ordered. We will use some for gift and some for personal use. Naisipan namin ni hubby na mag-shop ulit. I was able to buy tshirts for gift and a sando for me. My sando is only 100pesos. Hehehe. Pix below - my sando, AMM tote and the 1L of massage oil.


From Alabang... we're home at almost 430pm. Hubby took a nap before we attended a mass at 5pm. After the mass, we also attended the Birthday/Thanksgiving party in our Church ( it was a fund raising party for the continuous construction of our parish church). We had fun watching the presentations done by different church groups.... Now... I'm already sleepy... will just finish this ...then I'll be sleeping. Night!

Online Backgammon

Online gaming is common nowadays. a lot of websites have been created for it. Hubby and I have been hearing of backgammon game and we were also advise that anyone can play backgammon online. We've seen the mister backgammon site and think that it is very user friendly and informative. The best thing is you can contact them for any query 24/7. As I was viewing their homepage, everything seems to be there - from getting started, affiliates, download, support, tournaments and details of online backgammon. It is indeed a complete site. You better check them.

A New LO for a Friend

We just got home. Hubby and I attended the Christening of Sophia - my officemates' daughter. She was so cute. I am not her Godmother but still I created this LO as a gift.

I was so happy that her parents appreciated this. She is such a cute little girl.

Btw, was not scrapping lately but i was happy how this LO turned out. However, I was not able to take good pix of the LO. hehehe.

Bonding Time & Online Gambling

Nowadays, there are lots of things that can be done online. We can now do research, shop, bank, play and even do online gambling. I've already done all the things above except gambling online. I was never lucky in gambling but I can try my luck online. I got to see a website with a complete betting facilities. They have casino, sportsbook, interactive games and a dedicated online poker.

My husband plays poker with her cousins during family gatherings.I just watch them because I don't know how to play. I think it would be a nice bonding time for us if we play together online. We will definitely try this. There are other benefits of playing online like saving on transportation time and gas. We can also play in whatever attire we would want because we can play in our own home. It would definitely be fun. You too can try it.

Importance of Insurance

Recently, I have been conscious about personal finance management. I learned about insurance and investment. Insurance is not an investment but a protection. Having an insurance is a wise move because we don't know what can happen to us in the future. This will also give us peace of mind.

We just purchased our home two years ago thru government financing. It is a good thing that they automatically charge the home insurance. We have a 12 year old car and it has a TPL type of insurance.

Once we have fully paid our home loan, we will get a home insurance from a private provider. We also plan to buy a brand new car and get a comprehensive car insurance for it. But we need first to compare car insurance from different agencies so that we can choose what fits our criteria.

Lots of Coffee and a Planner

Got to see this planner from dessertcomesfirst website. I fell in love with it but... the "kuripts" in me is saying... this is just a want and not a need. 12 Tall Cups of Caramel Macchiato is equal to 1.5K PHP plus 12 cups of their xmas drinks. Diko yata kaya isama sa xmas budget ko. Besides... hubby doesn't want me drinking coffee (minsan payag pero dapat di lagi).

Let's say.... isama ko na lang sya sa wish list ko... How I wish.... marinig ni Santa. I know I've been naughty at times but I've been nice din naman eh.

I LOVE TO TRAVEL

I love to travel. I have dreamt of traveling since I was a kid. My dream vacation is in Europe. I was lucky to be in the company where I am working right now because I was given travels to California USA and Taiwan. I was also able to travel with my husband. Our first trip was for our honeymoon in Bangkok. Just this year, we were able to visit Hongkong. We found traveling fun and exciting.We would like to travel again in the near future. It could be in Singapore or in Hongkong Again.

Our first travel together was arranged by my husband's relative who has a travel agency while our travel to Hongkong was arranged by a different travel agency.

I have heard from some friends that online travel and Hotel Reservations are cheaper. I would like to try it on our next travel. Since my husband and I are already planning for our next travel, I tried visiting this site.

I found this site complete. They have everything that a tourist would need for their trip. They have the complete list of hotels, flight details, car rentals and vacation packages. They also have a complete destination for easy planning of trip. Group bookings are also available and they also give special group rates. They accept Mastercard, Visa and American Express Payment. The best part of their site is they offer a very low travel prizes. I will surely book my flights with them for our next travel.

From THRILLianes to 1st Week of Xmas

Last Thursday was supposed to be fun because of the Friday Holiday. However, the attempted coup had brought some negative effect to the people. See my rantings in my previous blog entry.

But despite the chaos in Manila Pen, Ariel's group still went out for their planned outing (Pizzahut and Bowling). Their team was supposed to leave at exactly 6pm but as usual work gets in the way. I car pooled with one of his staffs to have the place reserved. However, we had some car problem. The windshield wiper broke many times. Allan needed to use a velcro as containment. Thanks to God that we're able to arrive in the venue safe and sound. On our way to the venue, we also received an SMS message from our friends/family of the curfew that was implemented and just announced that day. However, we really planned to go home @ 10:30am.

We had dinner in Pizzahut, Ariel have a vegetarian visitor so we have no choice again but to get a vege Pizza. Anyway... thanks to Palm Card. We were able to order 3 pizza's + 3 morefree. After dinner, we went to the bowling area. The staffs don't want to entertain us because of the curfew but we did a bargain that once the Ongoing Tournament finishes, we would also need to leave. The team had fun. However, the tournament finishes earlier so we were left with no choice but leave earlier. We only finished 1.6 game per player. Left the place @ 10:10pm. Hinatid pa namin ibang officemate sa Imus. Grabe, traffic sa Aguinaldo. Ngaps, more pictures here of the dinner and bowling.


Btw, before lunch I was so happy to learn that my orders from CX already arrived and hubby already arrived that we pick them up the next day.


FRIDAY - NOV 30'07
Woke up @ 8am. We left our home to Caloocan via Coastal road. Nawala kami nung nasa Caloocan na kami. But thanks to the people na napagtanungan namin. Yipee... I got my new Toys.

From Caloocan, hubby asked me where I want to have lunch.Then he saw Trinoma. Pero 'di us tumuloy kasi traffic. We just went to Megamall. Hubby bought me a simple earrings. Then, we had lunch in Yoshinoya. We also went to Craft world & SMILE. From SMile I was able to buy these items (2 rubber stamps for 50 each & a wood craft for 35 pesos).


Then we saw the GrassRoot Sale. I was able to buy 3 Small boxes for xmas gifts and a little box for organizing some of my scrap stuffs. Then, we went to SM Dept store to buy some more xmas gifts. Then, I saw a nice blouse in EDC and bought it on sale. Btw, Show below is the box I bought.
We also visited my parents house to bring some things for my siblings. From Pasig, we went home via SLEX. Buti na lang..di na masyado traffic. We ate dinner...then I started taking pix of my scrap stuffs for MARJ's RAK. Humabol pako pero di rin ako nanalo sa raffle. Better luck next time for me and Congrats to the winners. pix of my scrap stuffs here.


SATURDAY - DEC 01'07
We had breakfast in Mcdo Alabang because hubby was craving for it. Then we went to St. James Bazaar for another series of xmas shopping. We're there @ 9:30am. We shopped, had lunch and shopped again. Left the place @ 2pm. Dami ko na-shop na xmas gift hehehe. I also bought a new blouse (again).

From St. James...we went to ATC.... to shop again. Hubby was also looking for a cheaper Dart Pin 18gms but mahal lahat sila. I was able to buy more gifts then we had PM snaks in BK. After the snacks, binalikan namin yung mga items na di muna namin binili thinking na makakakita pa us ng iba.

We got home @ 5:30pm. I started wrapping gifts while hubby is scrapping... Yes. He is scrapping.. he was challenged with the album that we bought from rustans. He is trying to created his own version. Dinner lang ang pahinga namin. Sleep at past 12mn.


SUNDAY - DEC 01'07
woke up @ 8am becoz of hubby's alarm. He's wants to watch Dragon Ball Z. We had bfast. while watching TV. Then... I started wrapping gifts again. The only rest we had is lunch and the time to attend a mass. After the mass, we ate some kwek2 and kikiam outside the church.

Back at home, hubby scrapped again while I am still wrapping gifts. Grabe.. our house is a mess.

I just stopped when I ran out of gift wrappers. BTW, clearer pix of our messy and fixed area here. Went to bed passed 12mn again.


**** Grabe... xmas na xmas na! Advance Merry Xmas to ALL!!!

RANT

How I wish that I have scent immunity today.

Tagalugin ko na baka maintindihan ng iba at masabing racist ako. Hehehe.

Nahihilo nako ngayon dito sa office. Actually kanina pang umaga. Yung bisita kasi nila Ariel nangangamoy. Ang layo ng cube nya samin pero amoy na amoy sya dito. Di ata sya naligo. Kainis. Di kaya niya naamoy sarili nya. Hmmp.

Umagang-umaga kanina...amoy na amoy na sya. May weekend naman... sana man lang naligo sya. We know malamig...pero may heater naman yung hotel.

Or pwedeng...nalito sya pero di nagpalaba ng damit....minsan kasi inuulit nila damit nila. Ewan ko ba.... babayaran naman ng company yung laundry fee sa hotel pero di pa rin sila madalas magpalaba. Buti sana if di sila nakaka-perwesyo. Kayo foul talaga eh.....

Hay.... I hope maligo sya bukas!!!!!
