You Make Me Smile!

Diane tagged me! Well, it's my first time to be tagged and I don't know what to do! Sorry Diane I have to text you, but now I know what to do... and you made me smile and later laughed! Hahaha! Thanks for tagging me and making me smile. I feel we are so close not just because of the Idol but because we became friends in the web. You always have a helping hand which unselfishly gives.

Timi, my partner and seatmate at the LB Scrapaholics, thank you so much for all the lessons you taught me and in the end, for putting a smile on my face, alam mo na yon!

Ate Liezl, for being a big sister I never had. You made me smile in the panic world of kids!

Dra. Rita, for making me feel the real meaning of "friendship"... and the free consultation fees of my kid's check up! Hahaha, O hindi lang smile yan ha, laugh pa!

Helga, a super mommy to baby Ike. You make me smile because I remember the days when I had Chuy. The long time that we were trying to have another baby, makes me recall those moments when I see you with Ike.

Ella Go, for the cups of coffee and chat every morning, thanks for the smile!

Joanne, you make me smile! Thank you so much for your encouragement and constructive criticisms.

Busy Time!

It's Monday morning again and it's my Daddy's 70th birthday today... if he's still alive! You can see how busy I am lately, my scrap-table shows it all. I have a deadline to meet for the Scrappin' Moms Idol, we are on the last round before the finals on October 6. And still have to do the finishing touches of Joanne's client's scrapbook album. I'm a little paranoid too because Enzo had cat scratches on his right foot and he had his first anti-rabbies shot yesterday. Means there are still 4 shots lined up within a month time... kainis, gastos na naman! Unexpected expenses which can be avoid sana if his yaya was closely guarding him. Yes, I have a yaya finally... but i'm really thinking if she will stay after this incident. Grrr...

I don't want to spoil my week, I have lots of things to do and a lot of deadlines to meet. I have to put myself in a good mood, so I have to think of happy thoughts... scrapping! scrapping! and my kids!

Meet my Third Baby!


Luigi is my first, Lorenzo is my second and EOS is my third baby! I finally got my first digital slr just this morning. It's just a hand-me-down from my cousin Ronald, but I don't mind because I believe he also took care of this baby so much. Plus, I'm a little short of budget too, he offered me a pay-when-able deal, kaya who can still resist this baby!

I realized, I have to get a good camera. When you are into scrapbooking you have to have good quality pictures. It's not just focused on your style and stash. I have a lot of things to learn now... I have to read the book Ronald lend me... wish me luck on my new baby! I hope to make more good layouts from now on, with the help of my Canon EOS 350D.
