Friends Forever~
08.20
Two great things happend on the days leading to my birthday, I found my best friend in Grade School, Angel.
We were best friends from the time we met in Grade 7 until all the way to High School graduation. I guess that time after graduation, I have not confirmed which college to choose and also I have an ice skating competition coming up in Cebu, my mind was pretty occupied and never thought of getting her contact. Email wasn’t that common that time and there was no cellphone yet! Wow..I can’t still believe the time we did not have cellphone, it sounds so ancient!
On 2002, I was working part time in Sykes and our group need to hire a new Mandarin-English agent and when my supervisor told me about our new agent.. I was just shock.. The way she describe it sounds like Angel but I could be wrong, yet all the details fit.. So I was having my fingers crossed that it was indeed her. It was and could you imagine us screeming our heads off and my supervisor was like “oh man!” hahhaa…
Destiny really is funny at times. We have to say good bye after working for almost a year together because our account was closing. She decided that time to move back to Taiwan but since I had Carl that time, I stayed. Absent minded, I did not get her email!
Now, 2010, we met again!!!! We are really destined to be together~ hahaa.. I try looking for her around early last year in facebook but couldn’t find her. This year, one of our old alumni added me and message me. I thought he was Robbie from my college, but later realized he was from my old alumni. During one of our conversations, I don’t know what made me ask,but I did. I mentioned to him that I was looking for Angel. He told me that Angel is in one of his contact… And the rest is history~
From Angel’s side, she told me that Don just added her lately and it’s one of the greatest gift I ever got. Thank you Don if your reading this!
Stay or Go
Last week was a pretty low time for me because of some concerns, my manager and I got to a pretty big argument and his comment really hurt me. But ironically, that was the day Angel contact me. It’s like God’s answer to my prayer? Is she there to guide me and remind me not to think too much.
But there were some other reasons why I wanted to leave which are more personal. I don’t know if at times I can anymore separate my mind and heart in dealing with it. I know what is right thing to do for the sake of work, but, at times it just hurt too much.. wish life comes with a book we can peek at times what we are suppose to do to have an happy ending =p hehe
Great Surprise
My order from States arrived… want to know what’s written at the back?
secret!
I got a great suprise on my birthday even if my friend did not realized it was my birthday! He sure got great timing~
I love Macross and as a kid,I have watch it and listened to Lyn Minmay from this series. Her voice sounds so sweet and really soothing for me maybe because of so many old fund memories.. When you have nothing to worry except making sure you pass school? No responsibilities..
I will surely treasure this an another suprise that was send with it. Simpson key chain hahah I love Bart Simpson because he is so naughty and daring. I can never be like that =p

Antique Bear – Liz
08.20
Lately I have seen some great artist and did antique style and I was fortunate to purchase great antique looking fabrics..
Here is my new bear who I name Liz but she just need some more polishing! Maybe few hairs gone here and there… but here is a little peek~
Photo with: Iphone – Lomo format
I use my iphone to photo this so that I can use a special program that allows me to edit my photo and give it a lomo finish… Unfortunately I wish settings or software I use! hahah…
This is abit closer to her actual color. Her color is like peachy and she is a shy girl. I finished her on August 15 in time for Chinese Valentine Day.
She would like to ask her special guy to a date and her hands are hidden behind her back because she is nervous. She have a white iris to give her more cutey look and a very small pink nose. ” Would you be my amour?”
I will be posting her soon on etsy so please stay tuned..
Another photo using iphone software.. just playing around with my phone after all, I did invest in this little luxury~

Marching Soldiers
08.12
I may be keeping quiet by not posting alot lately, but doesn’t mean I got alot of works not posted yet~ hehehe
Here is a marching soldier I design and I kind of like the combination I did. This version would not be limited edition but until my supplies last because I don’t see anymore this fabric…
- I use both Japanese fabric on the outside and the inside.. I know it might cost more but isn’t the final result worth it?
- I have lined the inner checkered fabric with this thick forming fabric (literal translation from Chinese material name) which allows my works to “stand” and when I photo this, I did not put any stuff inside to let it stand… I did however have a hard time turning it but the result is great~
- I even include a checkered wristlet style so that you can hang it anywhere you want or use the clip and attached to your bag…
Waist bag
This is a bag sample I made for my teacher last time.. I forgot what is that little girl’s name but she have a cute kitten with her~ The outline is hand sew and it have a small base. There two loops on both sides so that you can clip it to your jeans…
Postal Pouch
I purchase a wonderful Japanese fabric and just so crazy about postal stamps and postage.. Hope you enjoy this combination


Great to put your make-up and long enough to fit mascara and lipstick!!! I use mostly pink because I want it to be girly for a change~
My pretty Betta fish: Bleu~
It’s really hard to photo him so I was lucky to get some good shots of him.. Isn’t he pretty? His been sick for some time and I hope he will get better… Well, I didn’t change his water often enough because since I keep adding new water, I presume it was enough.. Guess not.. sorry Bleu
Get well please.. eat soon…
Beautiful Images
08.04
I just happened to see these articles and images on the internet and thought I will share it..
Enjoy~
I love the beach and growing up in Manila Philippines, we have alot. But what I never got to do was build sand castles.. I have always wish I can build some but the only thing I ever did with friends is buried some people on the sand! =D hahaha… Not bad for starter~
Here are more images of the sand castle: CLick here
Northern Lights
Another thing that always awe me is the northern lights. Not only we see it in “The Compass” but also in “Good luck Chuck!” movies. It says on the news that we just might catch a glimpse of it these days… I think I might go to my rooftop tonight and try my luck…

You belong to Me
07.30
I love this song by Taylor Swift called “you belong to me”… well, I don’t really think this person really belong to me, but just that maybe when your a down to earth type of person, at times your not getting the attention you need.
When we have a crush on someone, we wish they would notice us instead of the girl with the low blouse cleavage showing, or the one with those short sexy skirt? Yet when they need someone to make them smile or talk too, were always there…
I put some of the words use on the lyrics into these collection. Hope you enjoy it…
