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!

Our 5th Year Wedding Anniversary!

 

 

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!

I’m Happy!

Click the photo to see the credits;-)

Oh..my poor blog! I have been slacking lately. I had never blogged for 13 days and I just have to update now!

Well, I have a lot of happy news, albeit there are not soo happy to you but I love what I accomplished and proud of it! hehe

Anyhoo, it’s my hubbys Birthday today!!! Happy Birthday,Daddy! I wish all the best for you. We had dinner last night (as a pre-celebration as today is working day) at Outback Shinagawa. Yap, I was sooo full and gosh what a dinner it was! We paid the bill for $120! Haha..yep, honest! Can you imagine how much food we ate? I’m sure you can! To start, Daddy ordered the Ribs On The Barbie. I got the Ribs & Chicken Platter something with a ribs on it as well. Baby Al got a Joey’s Spag(for kids) again! Side dish of Chicken Wings not too spicy, which is good. We also got the Queensland Salad that was too yummy! And finished it off with this Chocolate Thunder From Down Under Dessert! Oh my gosh, you got to try this one..its to die for! LOL We took pictures as well, I have posted it in here. I also let Daddy make a Wish. And I made my teary wish for him! It was a very lovely evening and I am soo happy! *wink*

~The Birthday Boy at 34;-)~

~Me and my Little one in Shinagawa Station on our way to Outback Resto~

~Ah…Mr. Kanga in the back..~

Umm,what else, ahh… We’ll be home in Philippines soon. Yes, we will but hubby will be left here as he need to work. I’m not all packed yet as we still have another celebration to celebrate. Next couple of weeks will be our 5th year Wedding Anniversary! And I am just soo excited! There’s no plan on where exactly we will spend the most special day of our married life but hopefully, we will cherish the day! We are tossing of going somewhere in the south. Either Osaka or Kyoto would be a fine places but then again. We are not sure yet. Though, its always nice to just have dinner with my 2 Alberts:) I wasn’t asking anything for Daddy. And to think that Mother’s Day is near also. But I don’t want to buy anything for myself this time. Because we really need extra more money for our another venture this coming Fall. I just hope and pray everything will be as planned. I can’t say anything yet about this thingy,heheh..But surely you will all know.., promise!

Oh gosh… I have to blog about my little one! He is getting very talkative now! Oh gawd! He talks a lot and comment on everything I do and to his Daddy. The other day, when he went to the toilet then he told me that I should clean it. lol And then, when he wants to go out with me or his Daddy, he always shouts this in english, “Daddy/Mommy wait for me, please!” He is soo talkative and I just want him to shut up for a sec:) He questions everything. And I also know that when he’s happy, he sings! Yes, he sings any word that he can come up. I am just soo proud of him. My little man is growing up soo fast. And when we went to this grocery near in our apartment last week. I remember that he told me, that those old homeless persons are soo pity. If he is allowed to take one in the house and I would approve he will take one! hahaha..My son is soo sweet:) And as always, he says, “I love you” everyday. This is really common in our house…I think, he got it from me:) I say” I love you” to him everyday or everytime I can think of that word! And he says, Thank You and You’re Welcome every small deeds you do to him:) A Proud momma, I am!

Lastly and surely not the least, my dear digital scrapbooking which I am totally hooked. I have a few accomplishments. Or whatever you call it. I made to the TheDigiShoppe Site CT and gosh! I am soo proud girly! I never expected that I will be one because its a growing site and its one of the beautiful site I have ever been to. You rock,Janel! Thanks for having me in TDS.. There were too many who applied and golly! You have to check those other Site CT Member who were chosen too, they all rock! And thinking that I am one of them is such an honor:) Second, I have another layout that will be published in May’s SBB Hot Bytes, its the “Friendship that will Last Forever” ! I’m soo excited as this will be my second time that one of my LO will be published in there! Isn’t it cool? And the third one, I just joined Betty Jo’s Design Team, who is also selling her FANTABULOUS designs in SBE. She emailed me and ask me if I want to be a prt of her team and seeing all those cool designs, who could resist that one,eh? LOL And also, please check AngeDawn Designs creative Team Page, I am in there now and its up and running! Check her cool designs too..And oh, My newest layout for Lynn Grieveson’s Backyard Explorer,titled “My Little One” was being the Spotlight in “R U SQUARE” Blog by Ginger Thibodeau.! Thanks girl, you made my day!

So, I guess, this will be all for now…Have a fabulous week! And enjoy…

Smoochies:)

This and that…

My new finished layout;-) Credits, everything are from Scrapartist. Happy go Luck Kit by Dianne Rigdon,Tutti Frutti Kit by Michelle Coleman and Brush Strokes by SMD.

Well, there’s nothing much going on in my part of the world. Except that its not that cold already;-) Its raining for 2 days now but the good thing is that its not cold anymore! I’m really not a good blogger this days..I’m just caught up with little things that I don’t have much time to blog. Its so easy not to post when you stop posting and then so easy to blog little stuff as well if you are in the mood to write things even if they’re not that worth mentioning…

Last weekend, we spent time in the house cleaning and all those same stuff that we do. We didn’t’ went to Church since I still had a very bad cough but hopefully this Sunday we can make it to go to Church..sigh..there’s no excuse of not going but I just don’t want to be the kind of person coughing all the 1 hr in the church. My weekend wasn’t that exciting though but you know..same old stuff here and there..

As for my digital srapbooking, I actually applied for 3 CTM’s. And guess what? All 3 are on the yes! Lynn accepted my application. Last weekend too, I am one of the Feebee girls! And last night, the last application I had was being answered! Its really a good thing that all of them turn out to be all yes! It means,that I’m doing good of all the things I’m doing which is a good thing for me…LOL I shop alot of kits so atleast theres a good thing in it. Though, I hope I can live up those expectations being a new creative member for those prestige Designer. Wish me luck though and I hope I will make a lot of fun out of it!

Another great news is that, I can’t still say anything. LOL Hopefully, everything will go wonderfully with this new venture of ours..Will surely let you guys know if anything comes up good! I really can’t wait to share it to you but until hubbys not willing to share it yet then my mouth is all zippered for this..hehe

I have been counting days…Yep. We will go home in Philippines soon..being that my lil one will be attending school in there but I’m not really excited since I will miss my hubby..But hopefully, this will only be temporary! God knows about what my hopes are..Anyway, it will be a fun summer in there! Guess, will be going to beaches again..Isn’t it cool? Yay!

Is there anyone here love 24? My gosh..its getting very hot now! I have been a 24 addict since I saw the season 2 and then can’t stop watching it! You should try to watch it if you havent..Its an action packed tv series!

Okey, I think I have been too boring since,right? I actually not feeling well..I guess, this will be all for now!

Have fun guys and Happy Easter!

Toot for myself and etc…

I saw this little siggy(below) from Lynns yesterday at 7 am in my time! And I’m so happy! This is my first CT and I love Lynn Grieveson works so, I’m sure it will really be fun! And other members are just awesome too. I can’t believe I am in a very wonderful team! Would love to know more about you guys!

I slept around 1am last night-its early for me since I’m an insomnia. I was so tired. My cough is getting worse and I think I will have fever soon..My back is hurting and my monthly visits is here..I am so tired. I wish I have someone to help me clean the house, do the cooking, do the laundry and take care of my Al while I’m not feeling well myself..

I did some new layouts and posted in my galleries, check them out if you have the chance…

I guess, this will be all for now..I’m very tired.*sigh*

Another week Pass By…

We went to watch Sakura(Cherry Blossom) Bliss last Saturday. But since Al is still having this bad cough, we decided to go home earlier. And spent our supper at the house. I was so happy to see those people having fun under the Cherry Trees, having dinner, laughing and enjoying the cold spring weather. I wish my 2 Alberts are not sick, we could have spend the weekends under those trees since it wont last that long…
Last night, I woke up around 3 am because Al was coughing so badly and non-stop. I was getting worried. I let him take medicines though but it seems its not improving. It breaks my heart to watch him like that. No Mom can never understand my feelings. I carried him in my arms the rest of the morning in the sofa and I turned on the TV hoping he can go back to sleep. I also don’t want hubby to wake up because he’s also not feeling well yet. So, Al slept at my arms and then when I open my eyes, hubby was there hugging the 2 of us. I was sooo darn proud of myself. Because, even the lowest days of my life. I have them in my side. What more could I ask for? Except good health for us….
We don’t get sick that instantly. As far as I can remember, I was only sick 1 time last year, 2005. But when I get sick, specially cough it would take weeks. So, I really don’t want to be sick too. Specially this time. Who would take care of them? So, this afternoon, I will bring Al to see the Doctor and I will ask for medicines for myself too just in case, things would not go as I hoped for.
My Dad buzz me up in YM last Saturday that our youngest(little sis) is First Honor in Class! Wow! I’m so proud of her. She’s really intelligent. I know that for sure and its not because she’s my sister. But imagine this, she already knows the Multiplication Table from 1 to 10 and for a first grader,Isn’t it cool? I’m soo proud-proud of her! LOL She can read with good diction. Wish I have that brain..sigh..hehe And really, she deserve it! Mom wasn’t expecting her to be the class first honor because she was absent last year for a week due to Chicken Pox. But then, she’s what she is. She’s got what it takes! So, as a gift to her, ok, this is the fun part because, well being the eldest of the family. Everybody looks up in me..Yeah..So, I will buy her new clothes and shoes for the commencement exercises. And of course a PARTY for her! Yehha..LOL
After all the sickness here in our house, I still manage to enjoy myself in Digiscrapping, or atleast, I have an outlet. I bought new kits again. Golly, my bill for only 3 days is $83. Haha..Yup, so, throw me in the river! LOL There are just cool and new stuffs by Gina Miller-the Boys kit and I can never let it pass without me buying it for my 2 boys so, I bought it. And Traci Sims have a 2 days sale in My Digital Dreams. New Kits from Dani Mogstad and Garden Party from Maya. See..I’m totally a hoarder but I love buying those kits…:) And will probably put them all in good use!
Here’s my new Layout I made about a few things, I Love.

Have a Wonderful week everyone!
