Weekend Roundup.

Paul and I went to SM Megamall yesterday for this:



Though DD Copyworks' rental sales are doing good this month (perhaps due to the end-of-school-year-projects of the students), we still have to be updated of the latest releases of online games especially that summer is near. Luckily, we were able to get posters and CD installers of the latest online games from Mobius and E-games.

We also roamed around Cyberzone and canvassed for a laptop with nice specs and a good CC installment term. However, Paul didn't like the specs and noticed that they were pricey compared to the ones he saw at tipidpc. We also went to Canon and gazed & drooled over the DSLRs that were on display. :Sigh: i'll get hold and own one of those, in time. Hehe!

Then we ate baked mac and pepperoni pizza at Greenwich to satisfy our growling tummies. We were also tired of walking so we rested for a while. After some energy was restored, we bought some magazines: Game, Yummy and I-mag photography (where I learned some more cool photoshop tricks and tips)..then, guess where I dragged Paul to...hehe! where else..Timezone! wooohoo! I got to shoot some hoops again and played for about 4 straight games..losing 2 of 3 linked games to Paul. Ayun..my muscles sored again. Haha! With not much energy left, we went home but since we didn't bring the car thinking of the possible weekend traffic along EDSA, we faced and hurdled one more physical challenge...of how we'll squeeze in and "rub armpits" with other passengers inside a jampacked MRT coach.

Didn't accomplish any LO again this weekend. This time, the puter bogged down, probably, it was corrupted by a virus forcing Paul to reformat it. It's working fine now but most of the softwares aren't installed yet including Photoshop and Acdsee Photo Manager. Oh my..which reminds me, I have to reorganize again about 11GB of digiscrapping kits. I'll be needing another whole weekend to finish that. Wish me luck with this ordeal.

False Hopes.

I know I was advised right from the start naman, there was no assurance of anything. But along the way and as time went by, you guaranteed that I'd be here to stay. And now with the way things are going, I just can't understand...why did you have to give me false hopes? Sana you didn't lead me to any expectations na lang.

Now I'm totally confused and demotivated..should I start packing up my things already and start on to a new path somewhere else?

:sigh:

My First Ideabook.

Okay…there..i can’t help it. I know I just mentioned that I’m holding off my credit card for a while, but hey..there’s always an exception, right? Besides, I believe, purchasing it NOW will be more practical.

I got to chat with Rogeena last night. She’s an officemate of Paul who was sent by their company to US for an onshore duty last year. She’ll be coming home na on the 17th and knowing that, I hurriedly processed my order at Ideabooks4u.com so it will be delivered in time prior her departure. I will just have it delivered to her apartment in Chicago via the US Postal Service Priority Mail so I’ll just be charged with only $2+, unlike if I I’ll have it shipped internationally; fee will be freaking $9.50! So there, will just wait ‘til the 17th for my first ever Digiscrapping Idea Book.

To my fellow digiscrapaholic friends out there, be sure to hang around in the next few days. I’ve been RAKed by Caryl on her birthday so I will also do mine soon and my RAK has got to do with the magazine I ordered. Stay tuned.

Latest LOs.

I don’t know what’s up with my creative juices…they are definitely wandering somewhere else. Arggh! I’ve been fiddling around my kits using the Photo Manager since yesterday but I can’t seem to start on anything. My mojos might got exhausted last weekend..yes, I scrapped madly last time and since I wasn’t able to post them here, let me flood my space with my latest layouts.

My cute little niece lulled to sleep.

Some pictures my sister took during their Sagada Trip some time in 2004. One of the captivating spots they visited was the Banawe Rice Terraces, 2000-year old terraces that were carved into the mountains by ancestors of indigenous people in the northern part of our country.

My take on SSD's Recipe Challenge where one paper, one photo, one heart & the word "sweet" should be used somewhere in the LO.

Journalling: Ingredients for Polvoron4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup powdered milk, 1 1/2 cups sugar,1 cup butter Procedure: Toast flour in the broiler, or in a frying pan, until light brown. In a bowl, sift the toasted flour, powdered milk and sugar. Add the butter and mix thoroughly. Put mixture in standard polvoron mould and press out moulded. Wrap individual pieces in rectangles or circles of multi-colored thin papel de japon or plastic wrapper. May be stored in a dry container or served immediately. Candies or m&ms may also be sprinkled on top.

I Want This.

..so nice and worth drooling for, isn’t it? i love all the plain & patterned papers, butterflies doodles, wordarts, ribbons & all the cutie elements…waahh I’m going nuts.. I HAVE to have this.

But I need/MUST/have to hold off also my credit card for kits purchases at the moment. My shopping meter quite exceeded and went beyond my digiscrapping budget last month. Probably, I’ll resume once I’ve settled my dues on the 14th hehe! Hope I can still get this in time, though, as this is offered for a limited time only at the-lilypad store. *keeping my fingers crossed*.
