weekend bliss

last saturday was the first time that euan attended a kiddie party! and we were so excited about it... it was the 7th bday of mareena, richie's niece (and was one of the flower girls in our wedding) so we can't just miss her birthday.. and so we head off to panciteria de san jacinto along c5.. there were a couple of kids in the party, so we (the adults) enjoyed all the cotton candies and ice cream (yummy!). euan had his first taste of ice cream too, and the look on his face was soo funny, but he loved it sooo much that he would have eaten the entire serving! he had some cotton candies too but it was too sweet so we just gave him bite size pieces (yeah, im a bad mom hehehe, kunsintidor ika nga!)
anyway, euan also won a prize for a game! actually it was ate maxine (mareena's older sister) who answered a trivia question for him.. and when euan got his prize, he was grinning from ear to ear... i think he was excited about winning, he kept on clinging to his prize (it was a mickey mouse puzzle, about the size of play cards) that when he fell asleep, he was still holding the prize and we just can't take it off his hands! it was such a funny moment! thinking about that moment makes me smile...anyway, i have some photos and will upload it tomorrow.

think positive

yesterday at lunch break, i went to araneta center to pay some bills and to check on some scrapbook stuff at national bookstore. but i wasn't able to find the stuff that i need - acrylic paints and canson papers are out of stock...tough luck...so feeling a bit sad, i headed back to the office with nothing. while in the cab waiting for the green light, i saw a stall selling kamote-Qs -- sugar-coated in all its glory! it made me drool that when i was about to tell the cab driver to pull over so i can buy some, the light turned green! aarrgh!
so back at work, i was still thinking of the yummy kamote-Qs, while feasting my eyes on scrapbook goodies on the net... and guess what?! on our way home, my mother (yup, we work in the same institution) handed me a brown paper bag. and when i looked inside, the yummy kamote-Qs were staring back at me!!! how did my mother know? no idea, really. what i do know though is that i have a wonderful mother who knew exactly what i want and what makes me happy!
btw, i wanted to take a picture of the kamote-Q but the moment i unwrap it, it was gone in 60 seconds! yup, i ate all of it, inside a public bus for all i care hehehe... i munched it with much happiness...

what does it take to blow my blues away? i TRY as much as i can to think HAPPY THOUGHTS, to smile even if sometimes the tears are welling in my eyes, to laugh even if my heart is torned into pieces, to just let go even if my mind is seeking for answers.
today, im letting go and let my happy thoughts ward off the blues... with a cup of cofee and a bunch of chocolates, i'm drifting away...

my first digital LO

scrapbooking got into me!!! and since i wanted to document the phases of my domesticated life, i am beginning to be hooked at this craft! well, actually, i have made one album for richie, i think 3 years ago, when he was still my boyfriend...but that album was soooo simple (and so outdated!? hehehe)... i never thought that there's so much to scrapbooking and that makes me excited to do more (hopefully!)... anyway, while im brushing up on my PS skills (and while im building up my stash for traditional scrapbooking hehehe), i tried digital scrapbooking... here's my first LO when euan was still 4 months old... it was just a simple LO...i just can't resist euan's smile that's why i immediately made a LO as soon as the photo was taken!

here's my second digital LO, made last week... i soo love this photo of richie and euan..this was taken during our boracay trip last june (yeah i know, it took me 4 months to create another LO)... hopefully i will be able to improve my skills and scrap faster (wishful thinking, wink! wink!)
