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

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…

Cotton Life vol 2
07.22
The magazine was out for like 2 months and just have the time now to update! sorry~
Well, I’ll photo some part of the magazine where I was featured or assisted..I was asked by my teacher ( Dream Bunny) if I would assist her on this magazine.
She teach patchwork and answer most commonly ask questions students have about patchwork. I concentrate on the modern style such as bags or pouches instead of trying to sew all those tiny pieces of fabric together! Gosh, I don’t think I got that much patience hehee…
I’m so proud of my shoulder ballerina bag. It took me a long time to put it all together because we have to consider the image and where to cut or connect the other side of the fabric. But the outcome is great!
The bag which was featured on the magazine will be posted to etsy soon. You can email me at ming@ourblueiguana.com if interested to purchase.
Playlist on…

After trying so many background programs, I finally got one that works on my site and for me! It wasn’t that hard to because the programmer did write lots of information on his site… Thank you Charles~
However I have some insights and learning on this program:
- For every song, I need to input my blog URL…
- I need to go to a website and find the URL of the .mp3 file… I thought the links of embedded URL should work, but it didn’t
I just need to figure out how to let the song keep playing or activate once you go to my site. I don’t want you to have to click on “play” before it start…
Any idea Charles? hehee…
Here is his URL : Flash MP3 Player
Plum Blossom
05.03
Start of April and even until now, there are lots of places you can view the Plum blossom. Of course we don’t have Sakura’s here in Taiwan.. but instead we have Plum..
I was lucky to go a little rock climbing with my uncle and his family and took the opportunity to take some photos.. There is a saying “leave nothing but footsteps, take nothing but memories to cherish~”
Steps all filled with Plum blossom
Love is sure in the air~ how sweet! hehee 
What a refreshing sweet drink! 
It was raining abit, but didn’t stop us from walking.. 
poisonous mushroom? hmm… will this kill the bird?

see the white thing? Those are Plum blossoms..
This month is also a time for firefly… hope i’ll get to see it soon…
Our Blue Iguana feature in Magazine
05.02
I was so excited 2 weeks ago my teacher ( Patchwork) asked me if I would lend her my Ballerina bag which I made. She was asked to do a write up for a new magazine called ” Cotton Life” and would like to feature my bag as part of her article. Of course I would be honor!
In preparation for the magazine, I was able to assist her in making 3 sets of simple bags. It took us all afternoon because I have to sew it all up and since it’s for the magazine and all, it should be perfect. Aside from that, things that I give to people or sell, it should be perfect.. hmm… I’m such a perfectionist actually :p It should be all sewn properly. It’s a good thing I have alot of practice on my sewing machine and it look great! I can’t help but say so myself. Once the article is out, I will post it here again…I’m so excited!!!…
I will however share with you instead the photos during my making of the ballerina girl bag… photo’s coming soon~ sorry… camera in office so can’t upload
Enjoy~
