Sweet dreams layout

I was really bored….plus, I wanted to go home for my grandfather’s wake but I just can’t because of some reasons. I’ve got so many tasks at hand but I am not in the mood to work so I find some outlet and thought of trying out digital scrapbooking that I’ve been envious with some online friends who does it so well. So I heed on Mommy Julie’s suggestion to watch a tutorial in youtube since I really can’t figure out how to do it. After watching the first video, I tried my luck in photoshop and I was so happy that I’ve successfully made my first layout here. Then I think I am hooked as I found myself starting another layout again….this time for my nephew, Eman. This was the very first photo I took when he was brought home. 

Isn’t he adorable? I am sure Ate Ella will be envious of this so I will make her one. Will find a baby girl’s layout first.

Move it backwards

I’m too sleepy! Should I put on toothpicks in my eyes to prevent the eyelids from closing like what Mr. Bean did?*lol*. Anyway, one last post before I’d take a power nap. Guess I need it because I am already feeling dizzy. Just a quick nap would do (I hope). I need to finish all tasks because I am saving for something. Nope, not a photography gear…but for personal “development”. I have talked to Penchie (my HS classmate who’s now a dentist) about having a braces (so my niece Ella won’t call me “Ariel” of little mermaid). I was actually adviced to have it years back but I don’t feel it as a necessity but a luxury instead so I don’t heed the dentist’s advice. Now that Penchie could do it, and have seen the results in our friends’ teeth, I decided to have it soon. Now I will be saving for the downpayment so we could start with that “project”. I was even more inspired to have the braces when I come across Plano Cosmetic Dentist’s site where even the worst teeth and gum problems were restored through cosmetic dentistry. I am just glad that mine only needs braces to move the teeth backwards and not any surgery to restore that beautiful “smile”.I’m excited! Oy!

Morning blues

Monday again! When I was still having my day job, I usually have Monday blues….and it’s really hard to get up in the morning and prepare for work. All I wanted is to spend another day lazing around. Now, as much as I want to spend much of the morning lazing around, I couldn’t because I am running out of time. I still have pending tasks at hand and today is cut-off so I need to finish everything within the day. At this hour, I am actually too sleepy and been fighting the urge to hit the bed. That’s usually my problem for staying up late and getting up early. So when I finish eating my breakfast, I wanted to hit the bed again. This, maybe the reason for my evident weight gain. Friends told me that I really GAINED weight…I couldn’t hide it with all the bulges around my waist.

However, Penchie told me I shouldn’t get bigger (yes, I know…or else I would look like a walking container drum) because it’s pretty hard to trim down. She’s been to that and is still trying hard to lose a few pounds which according to her is never easy. It is easier to gain than lose weight. She tried controlling her diet but foods are tempting so she then gave up dieting. Now she wanted to try diet pills and I told her she must read the reviews about the pills before taking one for she might encounter problems that goes with taking diet pills. However, going over the list of diet pills reviewed or rather diet pills being reviewed is taxing but I am pretty sure she could pick one from the list that will work for her. As for me, I am not considering that option yet. I just have to be serious in doing a daily exercise to burn fats. 

Mellow Yellow Monday : Jet Ski

Here’s a yellow Jet Ski at Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort.We didn’t try to rent it because it is too expensive and I am not brave enough to ride in it. Maybe next time, I’ll have the courage to try it. 

Happy Monday! Check here for more Mellow Yellow entries.

Escape

A couple friends flew to Manila yesterday because they’re going up to the summer capital of the Philippines - Baguio City! Then another friend talks about going for a vacation to Bohol in May. Last night, we met with some high school friends who were based here in Davao and talked about going somewhere because we’re ALL burned out. Who wouldn’t be burned out with all the stressors we’re facing each day? So one of our friends was offering their resort in Canibad beach somewhere in Samal Island. Yay! Beach again. Since the place is not yet developed, we’d go on camping there. Been there last year but haven’t spent much time in the place. The place is really nice…with white pebbled shoreline and beach. If the resort owners would develop it with facilities and amenities like that of the Outer Banks, I hope they would retain the natural beauty of the place. Anyway, I hope the corporate slaves could take a day off (all of them at the same time) from work so we could go to the beach the soonest.
