Some Things About Me



If I had to tell you, "Some things about me",What would they be?
Hmmm, let's see..There's so many things that I have done,
I was a dancer in my school before, then I learned to sing in a
choir,

I remember I was always late for school funny because I just live 5minutes away.
I think insects love to bite me and suck out of my precious blood.
I always prefer drinking hot hot coffee, and not wait til its warm,
I like early dinners and late night snacks,
I'd sleep better if the tv is on but
not because im afraid or something,
I get cold easily so I always wear an under shirt.
I'm not fond of bossy people, especially those so called “plastics”.
I love to cook and eat. I love to see my favorite things.
Watching movie and sing along is my favorite past time,
My husband dre he just like basketball, boxing, newspapers and news on tv,
My greatest fear nothing more, for myself, and me,is being stranded, treading water,
in the sea, What a NIGHTMARE, it would no doubt be, not being able to see,
the SHARKS that see me,
Although the place I'd be if I had these choices,Would still be on
the beach, finest beach of course,
I love spaghetti and cream cheese and frozen yogurts,
I've really got a thing for scrapbooking, I love it, its my daily dose of expressing myself,
Hospitals, by far, my least favorite places, I hate smokers breath,
sometimes I think I have a glimpse of what is to come hmmm..,
I often hum when I put Madi to sleep,I always say I love you everyday.
When sleeping, I sleep on my right side,
A mini bus is my choice of choices to ride if I go on land trip.
I know true friends are rare and few,
and I know I could go on and on, this you can see, If I had to tell you

"Some things about me".

Digital, digital.

A friend introduced to me the digital way of scrapbooking as it is efficient and practical. All I need is a pc or laptop and an Adobe Photoshop and that's it! For scrap needs, she also shared to me a few sites that can get loads of freebies to use, learned basic use of Photoshop as well from her. So, excited I tried it the next day. And the result, umph!

























































No scissors and adhesives haha! Not bad for my first digital scrapping eh?!

My first two layouts.

This was my first scrap layout of Dre and Madi. I love that I was able to capture that moment of them on the beach, just cuddling on a hammock, so sweet.


This was made out of an acid free sketch pad, I just painted it and look for a nice spot for the photo. No embellishments!



The Big Shot.

I love making crafts even before I was still single, and since when the time came I gave birth to my daughter Madi, I became a full time mom. I spent some of my time doing crafts, such as painting shirt for my little sweetheart, sew a costume for her on her first Halloween, sew a curtain and some other stuff I was not able to finish some of them. Used to buy Mom magazines also, it helped me in so many ways to cope with my post partum phase. And then, while reading one of the issues from the mag there's this one article that featured how can Mommies still make money even if they are just at home and there I learned that scrapbooking can be a little business.

When I came back to work, by the way I used to be a sales property specialist in one the biggest developers in the country. Lucky for me, I got a sale. And finally when I got my first commission, I thought I wanted to spend it in someting that I really want. With my husband's permission ofcourse, I went to a store in Glorietta where they have this booth and they are selling all scrapbook needs such as machines that can be used in scrapbooking, when I got there, I can't help it, I soo love all the stuffs, bought some for my first layouts and yes i bought my first uber cutie pink and black Sizzix machine (The Big Shot). It was one of the most exciting experience I had in my life, having to buy my own personal Craft machine, love it.
