Little Updates…

Click on the Pic for full credits. This is moi,taken 3 yrs back when we visited Singapore..Love that Title! LOL
I sleep late again last night..Yikes! But anyway, hubby was so kind that he offered to rub on my back with some pain killer lotion before I went to bed..Sweet! And yeah,its for sitting too much while surfing the net..And not just that, he was baby sitting Al after dinner while I was busy sorting our things since we will be home in Phils next week! Yay! I’m sooooo excited.

Anyway, there’s not really much blah,blah..here:) Al was trying to memorize the letter “W” in the alphabet. He’s too funny since he says, “Why is it Mommy, that they made a letter that is so hard to memorize?”..lol He’s doing good with his numbers but as usual, he loves to play.Kids! I also got an answer from the Marco Polo Hotel that June 15 is available for the Pool Party. But I’m still hesitant because first, it will be rainy season in there and second, we have a very small relatives and I’m afraid no one will get together with us in the party…Picture this, hubby is an only son. He only has an only cousin who is also now in the States. Most of his cousins in his Dads side are in the States. As for me, I have 5 other siblings but I am the only married yet..Anyhoo,we’ll just wait and see what happens to this 4th Birthday of my lil man:) I still haven’t finished his birthday invitation though. Yep! I’m the one making. I haven’t done it before so, its really new to me. Any suggestions? He loves Spider Man and Pooh Bear again, he says.:)

We are planning of going to Disney this weekend. Hopefully, we can squeeze our time in doing so. We only have a week before going home so, I am busy juggling things to buy before our trip and things to bring along. Hubby will only stay there for a week and be back to work again. And I might be back here after a month or maybe 2. We’ll see about that later.

As for me, I have this goose bumps for a while now! LOL I really don’t know what it is for..Do you know? haha I hope I can figure it out what it is,soon..Good or Bad, its killing me! Hubby says, maybe because I’m excited in hitting the beach soon, family to see again and friends as well.. That could be..But Oh..well.. who knows…

As for my digital scrapping, same as usual. Busy completing my layouts for my CT. Kinda exciting always! I have posted here my official layout for Meredith Fenwick as one of her team:) I love the result(its for myself saying so)!

Okey sweets, I have to sleep soon. Time check is 11:30pm here, GMT +9 :) Wednesday.

Cherios!

What’s Up!

My New fave layout;-)Click the layout to see the credits.

So,I haven’t blurb for a week! I’m not really a good blogger..:) Guess, you know that already…
-Family-
Last weekend, we spent it bonding here in the house. My Alberts were playing with internet games again, with this so called “World of Warcraft”! God, they both are giggling and then in the couple of minutes they both will argue..They’re like kids..hehe..Hubby is very fond of our kiddo. He’s making the most of the time since we will be home soon. I think, I blurb about our going home. Little Albert will be going to attend his preschool in Phils. Its already been taken cared of by my MIL. Its suppose to be here but there are alot of things we considered and letting him go to school there is the best for all of us. Well, emotionally, hubby will be left here alone working. Of course, we will miss him. But I will just come and go. Ya know, travel back and forth and see to it both of them are doing fine. That’s what a Mommy does..
This week was wonderful. Although, I haven’t been outside that much since I have my monthly period that is killing me! LOL I hate periods and being that I don’t get that monthly. It’s weird to me when I have it. I usually got it only every other 6 months. Can you imagine that? :) I know, I’m not regular. And thats one factor that I can’t get pregnant right away. Okey, back to our week. Actually, its all the same- our regular things. Not much action…Same routine, eat, play, watch tv and then sleep. I am just waiting for the time to go home..I could use a great spa. A salon to have my hair done. Good food that won’t burn my wallet that much. Or go to a beach, drink my fave margarita..hehe I’m actually dreaming right now! Haha..Oh please, I could pamper myself to those being said.Or better yet, shop a little, watch a movie or anything thats not boring! :)
My Little Albert has been talking of his birthday gift this days..He knows its only 3 weeks from now. Yeah, he will be 4 yrs old this June 15 which is soon-time flies so fast,huh! He want’s a Tank-toy soldier car, New Car for me-yep, he want something for me for his birthday gift. Can you tell he’s sweet as a candy? :) some toys and a baby girl sister..LOL The last one is a tough one..We are planning a birthday party that isn’t that expensive. It won’t be indoor for sure. We are thinking of having a pool party. I already called Marco Polo Hotel and I hope they will confirm soon that we can use the pool that day. Rent is kind of expensive though. But hubby told me to weigh things properly since June is rainy season in Phils, so we might consider of doing it not in a pool. Not sure..Come what may..I still have a lot of options. I want it a kiddy party not a big girl party:) I want him to enjoy his birthday not me enjoying it..lol My kiddo is big now and he even said, he wants lots of ballons, many yummy candies and games with other kids!Just a fun little party for him will do…
Hubby is very busy with work. Same old stuff here and there. But there’s this thing that I blog about a while ago which will be sometime in Fall. Hopefully it will be realize…;-) Help us pray as well..As the saying goes, I will cross the bridge when I’m there.
-Me and my Digital Scrapbooking-
Oh well, same stuff again and again,scrapping it all! I actually am very happy I found this one. But sometimes, when I look back and think what I am supposed to be doing, I tend to loose the focus in it. I don’t know, its like finding what really I should be doing. Like last year, I was in this small work that took all my time. And focus on that one like I forgot how to take it easy..Yep, I did love what I did. I helped hubby in terms of our financial status. I had a little savings but it took all my time that I forgot how it would be nice to take it easy and enjoy little stuff..And just when I found this thingy. Well, its really helpful. If you know me, I am a SHOPAHOLIC, as in super! I buy expensive items. Designer shoes,bags and everything designer. I think I got it all covered..LOL And this one really helped me. I know, I still buy some because hubby spoiled me with those things. But this digiscrapping helped me tame..lol And I don’t want to go back buying stuffs that I will just look and won’t even wear and rather see the tags and put it back in the box. I am that stupid and crazy! You would asked me, why did I buy it? One answer! Because I am a SHOPAHOLIC and still I am now but having this digital scrapbooking helps me a lot! LOL Hope you got what I mean…If I won’t be digiscrapping this coming days..who knows, I can’t just do this forever like everyday making layouts,got me? and If I will be busy doing something, I don’t want to shop like crazy again;-) I hope.
Anyway, I got another 2 new Creative Teams, again! LOL Eve Recinella emailed me and asked me to be in her team. Of course, I said yes! She’s a talented gal and love her stuff. And tell ya, she’s one of the sweetest and most easy gal to talk to..Already posted my first layout..check it out here. And the other one which I am so thrilled is Meredith Fenwick Designs in SBB! Yap, I’m officially one of her Creative Team. Can’t believe it.Check her stuff,she got some drooling items in the industry! :) So, I actually am so loaded with a lot of things to do..Duh, I’ll wait and see about this things Im doing.Come what may..So tired of thinking so much..:)
Hmm..what else? Ah..UDS, I was out last week which is fine..LOL I’m happy I made it to the Top 100. So, good luck to those who made it and may the best scrapper win!
Okay now, don’t want to keep you too long with this posting.I have to sleep soon too, its already 2:30 am here…
Enjoy the weekend peps! If you come by, say hello as well. Would love to hear from you!
Ciao!

Changing…

Oh my…I wake up very late today. I slept around 11pm last night yet I got up very late. Little Al wake up late as well so we ended having a brunch. I made a Sinigang and Pinakbet( Filipino dish). Yum!

Weekend was wonderful. On Mothers Day, we had lunch to this fave restaurant in Olinas(New Mall near our apartment). Each 3 of us finished the lunch with 2 scoops of Baskin and Robins Ice cream. Yay! What a lunch…And the eating never ended in there! LOL By dinner, we went to this another fave resto in Ginza. They have the BEST grilled pork ever! Juicy and totally yummy! haha..Hubby gave me this little something. Guess what he gave me on Mothers’ Day? He gave me this gift cert. that is good for a bunch of shopping in Takashimaya. Hubby sure is a super DH! Have to keep that first since I don’t have anything in mind yet..Of course early that day, while I was busy making my Mothers Day cards, a messenger rang the bill in our front door and I got a fabulous flowers from hubby as well! Totally love that special day:) I hope you had a great day as well!

Yesterday, Monday in my time. I was soo hesitant to get over in Digiscrappin.biz for the result of the Ultimate Scrapper contest. But guess what! I made it for the 3rd round! Wohoo..Its really something for me. There are many veteran scrapper that were not able to go through to that round. There were 200 for the 2nd week and the cut off for the 3rd round is only 100! And I made it! Wow..I was soo happy..:) Anyway, the 3rd week is rather more tough but I will still make a layout for the contest and just have to make my best.Besides, I will not be the last person standing! We sure know that but I love challenges specially this one..So, lets see who will be the Ultimate Scrapper!

And also, I got an email from Sandra Boddington in Sweet Shoppe Designs that I got a spot in her Design Team! It’s another opportunity to spread my wings..LOL And I’m so grateful for that one. SweetShoppe, here I come!

Lastly, I made another banner for my blog,look up! I was inspired with the Mothers Day card I made last Sunday(inspired by Christine in TDC) so, I made a banner just like that and made the background all black as you noticed:) If you come by, let me know what you think. That if there’s anybody reading this! LOL And the title is not really a good one but I don’t have much in mind…:)

I guess, this pretty sums it up! Have to prepare something for dinner now instead some pizza leftovers….

Ciao Bellas!

TGIF

Wohoo..My favorite day of the week!
So, whats up with me? Nothing much ramble here..Yesterday, there were this people working at our water tank. I knew they will work on the floor we are at the past week but I didn’t mind. Until when I was about to go for a shower and realized that there was no water! Bummer! So, I showered at 6pm. Hehe And Little Al was bugging me that he will go for a shower the whole day but of course we both had a shower at the evening..Poor kid.
We already downloaded LOST and Gilmore Girls last night but havent watch it yet. So, please no spoilers first:) I slept at 11pm last night as I was soo tired running little errands in the house. Little Al was kinda chatty all the time and he has this attitude this days that if he wants it he will get it his way. And I finally scanned his face drawing. Will post it here later as I have to make a layout for that:)Oh, I almost forgot our Anniversary day on where we went! Hubby is the sweetest..We went to this Mall near at our place. Had lunch in there, eat an ice cream at baskin and robbins. Chat for awhile. It was a fancy day for us. He said, its good to just walk around the park. We did. Little Al was playing there. And the weather makes it more a beautiful day. Around 3pm, he said we will go to this Jewelry shop. Hmm..I smelled something right that time. I thought he would buy me this Louis Vuitton Bag I have been wanting too but of course I didn’t ask what I want so he figured he’s incharge:) Cool huh?! From the moment we step in the shop, the lady that I think she knew us already took a BVLGARI BOX and handed it directly to hubby! Oh my gosh! And there, the Bvlgari B Zero Banggle bracelet that I have been wanting for awhile is hubbys gift for me! What a keeper! LOL Totally love it. It brought tears in my eyes of course. Its kinda very expensive but he said, “I knew you will love it!” So, after that we sat again at the park and ate our food for dinner. Yes, in the park:) It was one of the most special day..5 years together and counting!
I don’t have anything planned today yet. Its only 9am here. But I took a shower already,in case those men at work will go back anytime soon as I saw that their things are still in the hallway. And the weather is not good so, we might just stay in the house and scrap a little and I still have to add my fave link of designers and fave scrapping blogs in here..I have been keeping it off for awhile now but I need to re-organize this blog a bit…Hopefully, I’ll be able to get it done.
I almost forget, I already posted my 2nd entry in Digiscrappin.biz for the Ultimate Scrapper Contest, here! I’m not much of a competition but I dont plan on winning..hehe And even if I plan to, I know what Im only capable of. There’s a lot of big names in there. Veteran scrappers that are more seasoned than me. I’m just glad that I made it to the next round. Plus the colab kit is Huge! Thanks to those wonderful designers..There were a lot of rumors after the 200 was being announced. Well, its a contest and we have to keep in mind that there’s only 1 winner. And the rest is not a losser. Everybody can’t be top 1. Besides, we scrap for our family. If not, for ourselves! OK? Be happy! Life is too short to be sad! LOL
Btw, there’s a 40% discount in TheDigishoppe in honor of Mothers Day this May 13 and 14. Don’t miss it!
Ciao, Bellas!

Oh..this is the day that I waited. Yep, I love everything about this Anniversary of ours:) And this is it! Happy 5th year Wedding Anniversary to us!Its only 9:00 am Tuesday here and my 2 Alberts are still asleep. I have been trying to make a layout for my DH as an Anniversary gift! But I can’t even make one. Actually,this past days I think I have lost my mojo..LOL Okay, back to the topic:) I don’t have a material thing to give to him but I do have my heart and soul to offer to him until the end of my days and the life after. 5 years being together through thick and thin is something to cherish and a lot to celebrate! I don’t know exactly what to expect for this special day of ours but I am excited! I still look at my DH as my boyfriend! LOL Honestly, I am in love of him every second of my life! He keeps getting handsome!LOL Of course, there are times that I’d hate him because he can’t keep the toilet clean(yanoo,men!). But that’s not a big time. My love grows everyday with him. Being that he is my BEST FRIEND, he is my partner in crime. I love to think that he is my everything and the other half is also our Little Albert. When he goes to work, I am secured because the part of him is with me. And besides, its still Albert:)

To my Man:)

I love you Da, everyday you hear this from me. And I will say it over and over again. Words cannot do justice..And this life is not enough..You are my everything and our little Albert is what we are..I love you and I’m sure you know that!

We are going somewhere today and I don’t know where yet as he planned the whole day already. How sweet is he? :) He was asking me a couple of week what I want for our special day but I didn’t answered him seriously,hehe..But he knows what I want in material things..He knows I keep my mind off with those things and concentrate on my scrapping..hehe

In the other side of note, I will proceed on the next round for the Ultimate Scrapper. I can’t believe I got 52 comments! LOL Thats must be the highest comment I will ever have in my scrapping life :) Thanks to those who commented, it is very much appreciated. Week 2 is a little tough one but I’m sure it’ll be fun! Congrats to those who made it as well:)Okay now, 2 Alberts are up and have to prepare a breakfast! Have a great week everyone!

Mwahhh:)

Bits and Pieces…

My new fave layout. Made this the other day. Click the pic to see the Credits!

Oh..I was caught with laziness in updating my blog again..Ugh..

Anyhoo,Golden Week in Japan starts the other day,Wednesday! So it means, we have 5 days holiday with hubby:) We are going to Disney Sea again probably tomorrow,Saturday! I’m sure the place is packed with people but its a good place to hang out. Baby Al sure would love to be there..

There’s a new HUGE Department Store near at our place. Wow! I love the place. Its totally full of everything. Cinemas are in there already and we have been eating at this Italian restaurant that is All You Can Eat for 1,600yen(around $20) for 3 dinner now. I really love it! If you know me, I am a person who loves to eat good food. I’m actually very picky and I don’t mind how much the bill it will be and if I want to eat out hubby makes sure I will like the place and the food specially:) And this Italian restaurant really makes me want to go back again! LOL

Little Al is doing very good. I have to post some new pictures of him later tonight of his new hair do. We have to go to a hair dresser for kids this afternoon since I was soo stupid that I decided to cut his hair myself last night! Yeah..and I was soo mad at myself afterwards..hehe Hubby tells me it looks okay but then I need him to have a professional hair cut..Poor little one…And also, I have wrote down his new words expressions this past days, so far, I got this one;

Oh gosh..
Oh my God!
gosh..
Oh dear..
yuck!
very good!

He’s doing good with his ABC’s..As usual, he loves watching Dora,Poh Bear and some other Japanese cartoons..His laptop was crashed down. Yep, not sure what happens..Hubby tells me the laptop is fine. He will just install it with another software. Good thing, there’s nothing important with that laptop. Now, he’s playing with mine;-) And I also have to scrap his first drawing of a “Face”. I was soo proud to see his drawing..It’s not that bad for a 3 and 10 months old:)

And I clean the whole house yesterday! Can you imagine that? Whew..I was soo tired after but its worth it;-)

As for me,well, I’m loving every minute of my scrapbooking thingy! I actually entered in this competition. The Ultimate Digi-Scrapper. You can see my layout here, My Dream Come True, for the first week entry. This is my first official contest that I attend to after 3 months of my digi-scrapping life!hehe..There are over 382 participants. Others are VERY BIG names. Designers and scrappers who are very seasoned already. After week 1, there will only be 200 who will qualify for the second round..So, not sure about it..But its fun, I’m lovin it and that’s the important thing..You have to check out the Digiscrappin site as there are alot of talent in there..Its a good place to have a scraplift ideas! I am blown away with soo much talent in there..And oh, notice the new blinkie in the side? I am one of the new Creative Team in Elemental Scraps and I’m very honored. I’m also excited as I am going to host a scraplifting challenge..I’m thrilled about this one since of course its all new to me. Kind of another work load to me but what the heck..I’m lovin’ this! LOL

Umm..I guess, I have to go now..Have to prepare lunch before we’ll be off for window shopping:)

Ciao,Bellas!
