A Tag for my baby

I made a tag for my gift to my baby for this year's Kris Kringle. I didn't have a hard time looking for what she requested. It could easily be bought at supermarkets. If you're wondering what it is, It's EQ diaper for new born. She is expecting her first baby this January. I bought her two packs, one for new born and the other size small, as I know babies tend to grow a lot faster these days. Anyway, here is the tag made from kits from SBG's Christmas Blog Train.



BTW, our theme for this year is Disney characters. :)

Happy Holidays

This is the season to be jolly. Yes, I am really feeling the spirit of Christmas. And I am uber excited to make lots of LOs with all the free christmas digikits I've been hording. There is an SBG blog train where you can download free christmas digi kits from different designers! Just don't forget to thank them when you download. You can find the link here.

And here is my take using one of the free kits on the blog train made by Thatyana of Thaty Borges Designs.



Apologies for the not so sharp picture. I couldn't seem to find a way to resize it without getting pixelated. Will research more on this.

Clever Migs

My love for digital scrapbooking has been revived. Despite losing my previously downloaded free digikits, It didn't stop me from searching and downloading new ones. I was happy to discover a lot of digital scrapbooking blogs that give out so many free full size kits! Aside from Shabby Princess, Peppermint Creative and Rakscraps who are giving away wonderful kits, I found this one which is now one of my favorite blogs. You can download free kits but don't forget to say thank you. That's all these designers wanted to hear from us.

This is the Layout I made using 2 of my downloaded free kits (Hello Foxy and Happiest Season of All) from Everyday Mom Ideas.

Where have all my kits gone?!

I have a lot of free templates to use for digital scrapbooking and I was very excited to use them. I have stored most of my downloaded digital scrapbooking kits in my brother's HD. When I was about to scrap last night, I was surprised to find that all of my kits were gone! even the photos I saved that I'm planning to use for my scrap! I'm praying and hoping that these files were still in our old computer. I am about to find out later when I get home. Grrrrrr!!!!

Ryan Gosling and The Notebook

Over the long weekend I've watched What's your number? and Crazy Stupid Love which stars two of the most handsome and appealing actors today. Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling. But if I were to choose, I'd go with Ryan Gosling. He's not that handsome but his sex appeal is way too high.

I know he's the guy in "The Notebook" but I never noticed him then because I did not enjoy the movie the first time I watched it. I hate movies that make you cry. Anyway, of all the movies that he made, The Notebook was by far the most popular. And because he is now my ultimate crush, I wanted to see more of him. I searched through our DVDs and found a copy of the movie. I watched it twice this week and was surprised that the movie wasn't that sad at all, although it still made my eyes teary. I am planning to buy another DVD for keeps and look for a copy of his other films.

I feel like a teenager again, crushing on movie stars. This really made my week! :)



P.S.
As my sister said, Chris Evans is buddy material while Ryan Gosling is boyfriend material.

Flower Stories Cafe

I am always fond of checking good deals from Groupon, Ensogo and Metrodeal. And lately, I registered sa Cash Cash Pinoy. Last month I purchased an eat-all-you-can deal at Metrodeal. This is to treat my family on my birthday.

The restaurant who offered the deal was Flower Stories Cafe. I searched it on the internet but found no information about them. Apparently they are new to this kind of business. I just found this blog and was surprised with all the negative comments the restaurant had been receiving. I was worried that I might get disappointed too. Fortunately the restaurant acknowledged all the comments and made some changes to satisfy their customers. From then on, the comments were improving. Naging kampante na ko.

The day came when we used the coupons. I was actually amazed with the place (syempre nasa Intramuros kaya parang kakaiba). The street where the building was do not have squatters as opposed to the comment I read. There are squatters in that area but not on the street where the building was. The dining area is a veranda on the 6th floor of the JS contractor building.

We came early but they were already set up so we did not wait too long to eat. They had cream of mushroom soup (I think), plain rice, java rice, pasta bolognese, roast beef with gravy and mixed vegetables, pork teriyaki, breaded fish fillet and onion rings with separate sweet and sour sauce, vegetable sticks with thousand island dressing and chocolate fountain where you can dip the banana, marshmallows and champola sticks! The whole family enjoyed the lunch and I was very happy! Kahit ako super busog! My sister even asked magkano ang regular price nila. Ang cute kasi ng place e.

All in all it was worth the 200 pesos each I spent. I still have 2 remaining coupons and I can't wait to use them! :)

To All Store Owners

It is not the obligation of customers to provide exact change when purchasing. It is the obligation of the store owners and the sales person.

I was craving for a hotdog on stick yesterday. On my way home, I stopped by a store selling them. I was greatly disappointed and pissed when "Kuya" told me he couldn't sell me one because he doesn't have a change for 100 peso bill! What made it worst was that he wasn't even apologetic and was a bit rude. E paano kung lahat ng bibili e 100 pesos ang pera? Hindi na niya pagbibilhan? E di wala na siyang kinita?

If you are a seller and you know that you don't have change for bills anymore, do something about it. Don't tell the customer you don't have a change. It gives a bad impression and is very bad for business.

BF owns a restaurant and he makes sure that he has change for his customers. Everyday, he goes to the bank to have his money changed to smaller bills. Kung maubusan, humahanap siya ng paraan.

Sadly, I left the (hotdog) store with a heavy heart (because I did not get what I wanted) and an angry stomach. I vowed never to buy on that store ever! Yan ang mapapala ni Kuyang hindi marunong dumiskarte.

Triplets

My sisters and I were always mistaken as triplets or sometimes twins in pictures. Some couldn't even tell who is who. It's cute but annoying sometimes.

I made an LO using Rakscraps October Mega Kit and template from Peppermint Creative's Pimp my Page. I added photos from our outing last summer in celebration of my Aunt's birthday.

New look

I've been wanting to change the look on my blog with my own design using digital scrapbooking papers and elements. The problem is, I don't know how. Last night, I had the time to search for tutorials. There are different techniques to do it but I found this to be the easiest.

Next project would be a blogger banner or maybe I can make this background more beautiful? :)

Sisters FOREVER

Credits: You+Me by Kitty Designs and Rakscraps' September Mega Kit

True to note. My sisters and I have a very special bond. A bond that cannot be broken by anything or anyone. No matter how mad we get with each other, we manage to fix it. We rely on each other through good times and bad. We lend each others' ears when someone gets heartbroken or had a bad day at the office. I am very lucky to have them not just as sisters but as true friends....

I Love You Guys!!!
