Since my boss went on indefinite leave last year, I have been working a 3 man job. It's no joke specially with all the office politics. Thank God I am still sane hahaha... Finally, a month ago they have hired 2 temps to help me with the admin stuffs. Sad to say...one of them is leaving already becasue she wanted to re take her A levels. Her last day is today. So again...Cram! I wanted to give her something memorable yet useful to say "Thank You". So I decided to alter a notebook :)

Materials Used:
PP: Echo Park
Embellishment: Birdcage & bird Chipboard (sissix), Prima Flowers, Crackle Paiint, Paint, Prima Crystals

Cramming again! As I pack my luggage for my trip back to Philippines, I'm thinking of what materials & tools I should bring. I do not want to bring too much because it's a short trip (4days) and I want to maximize my luggage allowance for the goodies I was planning to buy hehehe but...I am thorn not to bring my tools also. My goodies won...so I snatched my stash of unopened Echo Park kit and viola! This is what I mannaged to create.

I didn't bring other embellishments. I found some BBQ sticks and used it instead to add some texture in the LO. I am happy with how it turned out. The red cardstock really made a big difference.

Materials Used:
PP: Echo Park
Embellishments: BBQ Sticks, AC Thickers, Echo Park Stickers

I joined the Candy Shoppe Designs BLOG HOP MEME!

2011-02-02T13:21:00.003+08:00

I came from Cinnamon Swirls blog and read about Candy Shoppe Designs blog hop. All you have to do choose 3 questions to answer & post it in your blog to get a chance to win the fabulous Feb Prize!

Here's the 3 questions I picked.

FOUR random examples as to what makes me, me.

I am Blessed.

- with a loving family who is not perfect mind you but I can say the best there is.

- with good friends who accepts me as me…both the good side and the not so good *wink*

- with work wherever I am.

I am Shy – I am not… (and all those who “knows” me raises their eyebrows hahaha”)

- I am a quiet type of person who thinks too much sometimes. Most of the time when in a group, I prefer to listen unless no one is talking.

- I can initiate a conversation if I need to but I prefer to be look around and observe. (honest! hahaha)

I am Thankful

- I am a thankful person. I may forget to say the words but deep in my heart I never forget a good deed done to me, for me, my family & friends. I

I Pray

- All that I am and all that I will be is because of the Grace of our Lord Jesus. He is my everything. All my hope is in Him. He is my very best friend who is 100% with me through thick or thin, has never disappointed me and has always made me feel loved, especially in times that I need assurance.

Is there somebody out there in this world that you once knew or still know that you never got around to sharing your true feelings to? There may be more than just 1 person out there, maybe you're the silent and shy type, maybe you won't say it because you know that they already know what you feel. Who is this person and what would you say to them if they were standing in front of you at this very moment? (LOVING words ONLY!)

Thank you. I love you… I miss you.

What are your favorite WORDS or word that you find yourself using most frequently?

Amen – for claiming all the blessings

Aish… – when I forget something

What would you like to tell a teacher who has changed your life?

Thank you for teaching me to love, forgive and be a blessing to others. I am a work in progress and truly blessed to have you by my side all the time.

Korean Me

2010-06-30T10:26:00.000+08:00

Here's the "Korean Me". The second picture from Naughty by Nature. Using Scrapbook Challenges sketch 202 and the criteria (tearing, paper rolling, handcut) for Scrappersatag's challenge 34, I am also addicted to my Unity stamps and use it with Staz On and stamp it on an acetate.

Naughty by Nature

2010-06-29T19:06:00.002+08:00

Using Scrapbook Challenges sketch 204, here's another entry for Scrappersatsg's challenge 34.

This picture was taken 2 years ago. I was invited for a trial photo shoot from "Naughty by Nature". The concept was good, the package was enticing but I still had to say "no" though.

At first I was shy and couldn't really pose but after warming up told myself "oh what the heck" and started enjoying the shoot. From white shirt & jeans get up, I was asked to change to another costume. After looking at their selection of clothing, I decided to go with the "Hanbok"

Hanbok (South Korea) is the traditional Korean dress. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons

After the shoot they told me about the different packages and benefits of Naughty by Nature, though it's a good deal and was really tempted I still had to say no because it was out of my budget hehehe...

Fortunately, they asked me tochoose 2 of my favorite shots. They burned it in a CD and gave it to me as a souvenir.

Materials Used:
PP: Pebbles, Buttons, AC Thickers
Embellishments: Maya Road chipboards, Robins Nest, Unity stamps

So no complains here ;-)

I am also looking forward to a lot of changes in 2010 and I know everything will be for the best...Some I may not understand right a way but i just trust Jesus that it's for my own good. ( because he has promised only good things for me! Jeremiah 29:11)

Woohoo! last Sunday Ate Sookie and I went to Kuala Lumpur to meet her friend Sheila who's visiting from USA. Now I know how it feels to be in Amazing Race *LOL*. We were running all over the place, trying to meet the time of all the transit that we had to take. We took a 1 hour flight from SG to KL LCCT 7:45am (flight was slightly delayed), ---> 38 mins Shuttle bus to KLIA 9:15am, ---> KL Express (20mins Train) to the City ---> 10 mins LRT to the Hotel (too drop of the presents) ---> 15 mins Taxi ride to the Zoo (finally to meet Sheila & her Family). It was a fun experience and twas good to see Sheila and her family. Definitely no dull moments with them. Everybody was so funny, it was like being in a comedy sitcom hehehe... Ok ok..so which spot did I get??? The DT spot at Scrapbook Challenges! Woohoo! When we got back, checked my email (heart beating fast...nervous)and there it was! Pamela's reply! Woohoo! I quickly replied and announced to my housemates the goodnews hahaha Thanks so much Pamela! :)

Loving Lola

2009-08-29T14:48:00.000+08:00

Sketch 158 @ Scrapbook Challenges

This is my Lola (Grandma in English) Coring. I chose 1 Corinthians 13:3-5 because this best describe her. She is a very good example of what love is really is.

She has the patience of a saint and too kind for her own good. I know she enjoys many things but does not envy and definietly does not boast. She is humble and is not rude. She is always giving even when nothing is left for her. She does not easily angered. She always forgives.

She lives far from me now and I trully miss her. When I was still a kid, I remember that she makes sure that I have lunch/snacks for school. She will pack baked goodies she made. She will take time to chat with me about anything.

She is also the one who introduced me to Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. She made us attend bible school during school vacation. At that time, I went because it was so much fun. Back then, I didn't realize how significant knowing and accepting Jesus in my life would be. Now, I can't imagine not knowing Him and not having a personal relationship with Him.

Thank you Lola C! I love you and I miss you!

To all the Moms

2009-05-10T09:10:00.000+08:00

This is your day! Celebrate & pamper yourself for you deserve it. Happy Mother's Day! Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Special Moments

2009-04-30T10:35:00.001+08:00

Last January I attended the wedding of my college friends. {Ejet & Malou} I was a witness to their love story since the begining and it so touching to see them getting married that day. I was also privileged to be one of their secondary sponsors. I was tasked to put on the Veil on the Bride & Groom.

The Veil is pinned from the groom's shoulders, extending it to cover the bride's head and shoulders. This is symbolic of the groom pledging his strength and protection to his bride - the wife who he promises to take care of, from this day forward.

Here's another layout of Ean. This is my take for Andrea's challenge : 9 or more squares at Scrapbook Challenges .

I love the outcome ;-) I did a little bit of doodling and I'm starting to like this technique.

Christmas Gift

2008-12-23T00:56:00.000+08:00

Here's a sneak peak of one of the pages for my desk calendar (December '09)

Usually by the time we start what we call the "ber" months, we have already put up a Christmas tree at home, Christmas songs are being played on the radio, TV programs starts to have their Christmas countdown, people rushing to buy gifts. This year Christmas started very late for me. We put up our Christmas tree 2 weeks ago only & until now I haven't finished my list.

I've always wanted to give useful & unique gifts to people who are special to me. This year I'm doing desk calendars. So far...I'm way behind and most likely they will receive their calendars by January *LOL*

Embellishments: Making Memories Metal embellishment, Maya Road clear stamp, Revo Spicy Chicken Font
