That’s my goal. I want some changes not only to myself but to everything around me.
I enjoyed the long vacation last December by just being HOME with DH and kids. Since my ‘yayas’ were on vacation I was full time on household and mommy chores and literally off from office workloads.
For 1st half of January, here are some of my “achievements”:
1. dispose old stuff – clothes, bags, toys, household items (not through yet)
2. do several crunches before breakfast (temporarily stop from biking due to weather condition)
3. limit my intake of rice to 1 cup each meal and maintain a balance diet
4. make my “playroom” clutter free!!!!
5. Bedtime at 9pm
I also had my Routinary Check up and Complete Blood Test. My Internist said I’m perfectly healthy as far as PE and blood tests are concerned. My Orthopedic Surgeon said there’s nothing to worry about my foot (Achilles Tendonitis) and true to his word I’m fine in just a week time. Well, my ENT won’t definitely give me a passing grade – my allergic rhinitis is at its peak. I’m going to see my OB-Gyne this weekend for annual pap smear and would ask about mammogram, too.
My health (as well as my kids' and DH's) is on top of my List – I believe that if we are healthy we can do more things together each day of our lives.
Scrapbooking temporarily took a backseat and hopefully my mojo will be back before this month ends.
Happy New Year to all!
Angels
DH volunteered to take product shots of these “work of art” made by boys with Autism. The Autism Society of the Phils (Los Baños Chapter) is within the neighborhood and it’s a pleasant thing to learn about them being productive and creative as well.
They’re pretty excited about the Ad/poster/flyer which will be used in an international bazaar to be held at PICC. Yes, they’re participating and will showcase their products there. I’m really proud of them. I personally don’t know them, but upon seeing their finished projects I am deeply touched and I admire their parents who patiently guide them through life’s challenges.
Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Ola!!!
From my last post, I was “hibernating” for 40 days. This time I “progressed”(????) for additional hundred days making it to 140 days of hibernation, lurking, etc. One thing though, my heart never stops loving.
Anyway, as what I’ve read from Lee’s blog (a fellow scrapper, and a new found friend)
“if it happened yesterday, it's old news. If it happened, two months ago, it's history.”
I guess, this is enough excuse for me not to go over those months I’ve been missing in action. Just find some time to visit LB Scrapaholics’ blog and it will give you a glimpse of what life has been for me in the past several months.
At least for now I was able to post this message and got a new background for my blog courtesy of thecutestblogontheblock.com
Hey, I still exist!!!

Driving Force
Within the last 40 days, I was literally busy with my work and with my family. I seldom scrap, I don't even bother to organize my stuff from the scrapfest. But almost every single day my DD never failed to encourage me to scrap with her plus the "nagging" - "Hello! Were you able to make a layout?" or like this " Come on, let's join this contest!" from my co LB Scrapaholics. They are really my driving forces, they know when to push me! With all these things, I was able to make 7 LOs - 4 of which were entered into online challenges, 2 as output for our June mini EB, 1 made during scrapfest. I'll post the pics later. Not bad after all, isn't it!
Glad to be Back!
Hi Everyone! Its been almost 40 days since I last posted here. I almost forgot my username and my password as well. Same holds true with my webshot account that I needed to request for my new password. Good thing there's no cobwebs here, yet! hehehe
Anyway, to get started, here's my latest LO (I'll post backwards to make things easier for me). I made this a couple of days ago in memory of my late sister - Ate Karen who died of cancer (Lymphoma) at the age of 29 in June 1993. I also entered this to Buzy Bee's Fancy Pants Challenge wherein as a requirement we need to incorporate the word "First" in the title and use FP papers, etc. I'm hesitant at first since I'm remembering my Ate and ironically used the FP PP Celebrate and About a Boy! Kaloka ba? Here's my LO:
Journaling: FIRST and foremost...
She’s my sister …. (by chance!)….
partner –in-crime, loyal roommate, accomplice, best bud, sidekick;
Then she became my friend (by heart!)…
confidant, a shoulder to cry on, mentor, somebody to turn to;
And finally she’s my angel (by fate)… for 15 years now.
When she died of cancer in 1993, I realized…
that life is short, but sweet for certain,
that love leaves a memory no one can steal,
that faith can withstand all pains,
and grief knits hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can.
Until this day, I draw strength from her, ask for her guidance, and shares joy with her.
She will always be my precious Ate, my dearest Ayen.
I do thank God for she lived and had been a part of me.
