Hurray For New Toys!

It’s been a while since I last doodle, well except for a few weeks ago while we waited for our turn at the scanner.. which resulted to this:

its fun to discover that I can still doodle! after all these years, so when I had the time (and the funds needed), I went straight to National Bookstore to buy the much needed toys, er, supplies:

I am not planning a mural or a landscape or a self portrait or paint on scrubs… not sure if I can do those things again.. just a simple ABCDs and numbers for Sati and Chico, Holidays for the big boys and some other educational that we can place on their play area.

Cabinet For The Kids

Remember I was planning to give away my precious Mega Bloks collection? I am trying to clean the other room and make more space so we can use it as the boys’ bedroom. My sister object on the idea and said that the bloks got so much memories on it. I have to admit that she is right. It’s one of the first toy we got for our first born. From there our collection grew and the kids had so much fun building castles or robots or anything they fancy. Indeed those colorful bloks holds a lot of memories.

A great idea crossed my mind, why don’t I build a small cabinet using their mega bloks? I can use it to house their other Mega Bloks toys and some of their stuff too. Of course I will have to buy cabinet for their books and other personal belongings. As of now, they are sharing closets but that will have to change as soon as they have their own room. I will have to give them a cabinet of their own as well as a bed of their own too.

I realized that giving them their own cabinet (as well as their own bed) will teach them a lot about independence. It will also teach them how to respect the privacy of each other and respect our privacy too. It will also help them in being more responsible with their belongings.

The Promise of Youthful Skin On My 30th Birthday

written February 1, 10 PM

My day has been so good so far.. woke up at the right side of the bed. I actually only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Yes, I spent the first few hours of my birthday working. And I don’t complain, I always welcome opportunities that knock on my door, er, my email. I cooked spaghetti and chicken burger for lunch.

I just discovered that Timeline on FB is soon to be implemented, and knowing I have no choice but to change my profile, I just clicked publish and there. It was fun putting my chicken burger as my cover photo!

So aside from the changes in FB profile, my birthday today is a milestone.. oh gawd I just turned 30! I am sad and excited but I am not just over 20s! 29 is a howl lot different to saying, hey! I am 30! argh!

Setting aside my rants, I just realized this is the best time to invest on anti aging products or any products that will help me look I’m still on my twenties, even ten years from now. And then I remember this billboard I saw in C5:

I consider Gretchen Barreto as one of the most beautiful face in local showbiz and I admit that her billboards always get a second look from me.. but this one is different. I almost asked my husband to stopped when we pass by this billboard. Are those cleaners for real? then I realized it mus be part of the billboard and seeing it closely, yeah it is! (I have a zoom lens OK)

ERASE AGE MARKS..

just like how the cleaners do it on the billboard..

That’s a very interesting ad.. kudos to the brains behind it, now you got my attention.
