I have taken on a new project that I fear I won't be able to finish in time. Scrapping just takes too much of your time. But it keeps me relaxed and happy too.

We originally didn't plan on showing an AVP of pictures past and present during the wedding. My photographer will be doing something like that too, but I think he will show pictures of the wedding preparations up to the church ceremony. But when I think about it, it would be a grave sin to not show a short AVP, considering that I love pictures - I think I have too much of them - plus I have a huge collection of scrapbooks and other thingies that I keep when I feel like walking down memory lane.

And so, combining both together, I have tasked myself to present the pictures in a more creative way. I can never call myself creative so all of my layouts are well, not too creative I guess. I try ;) Here's a preview....

This is little Peppermint....


My graduation picture...Look how thin I was! Aaaargggh.

Little Sweetcorn......

Sweetcorn with his niece....cute, huh?

So there.

Mich!, I need your help! And Tet , when I'm done, I'll think of the story board. Then, bahala ka na! ;)

Wish me luck. I have 1 and 1/2 months to finish this!

for the love of coffee

Coffeespark serves as a medium for people to air their problems, situations, or feelings. Either for sharing, advice, discussion or just to vent. It could be a family problem, a technical computer problem, a cheating boyfriend, work issues, girlfriend issues, or just maybe about life in general.

Here's a cool site that I encourage you to check out and join!

Coffeespark.

This is the work of my genius friend Jobert and Antonette, whom I am yet to meet.

I didn't use to like coffee. I'm a chocoholic and ice cream lover through and through. But when I read through some testimonials my friends wrote about me, they all mentioned that they can't wait to have coffee with me. Then I realized that many of my treasured moments and conversations with friends and family transpire over a cup of hot/cold coffee. Secrets are shared, problems discussed, and sparks of ideas come flying through. And so, I confess to being a coffee addict! I even dream of running my own coffee shop someday. =)

So take a look at the site and join our community. Share this cup of coffee with me!

rainy days and mondays

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now YOU'RE here
Brighten my northern sky...

Today is a happy day for me. Once again, the countdown begins! In two weeks' time, Sweetcorn will be here and it will be another Peppercorn week!

I met up with some friends last week and my good friend, Tet commented that almost all of my blog posts are "mushy". I didn't mind, really until Sweetcorn mentioned that his mom (my future mother-in-law) is reading my blog too! I went through all the pages and my goodness! I have to agree...I am mushy =) So this is love..... =P I feel a bit embarassed actually. If you talk to me in person though, you will discover that I'm serious and business-like and very proper.... ha! =P I just have so many things on my mind with the wedding 3 months away from happening. Plus, I am in a long distance relationship, so forgive my mushiness. I will start posting about movie and song reviews, politics, etc. Yeah, right. =P

But seriously, talking about politics, please try to visit Alex Jones's websites and try to read through all the issues presented there. Sweetcorn is passionately promoting his sites and I'm with him one hundred percent.

And since I am wearing my thinking cap now, I have been busy watching murder shows and news about crimes and deaths (Go Soco!). I would like to share with everyone how very much affected I am about the DinDin Palma case. I pray every night for all the murder victims and their families that they find peace and justice. I know DinDin's older brother and my friend Buns and I went to the wake service. She's a very pretty angel. I know that God's taking good care of her now.

So there... This post ended on quite a heavy note. =(

I think I prefer being mushy.... ;)

sores and some

For the first time in my life, I am speechless --- literally speaking. I have been nursing mouth sores since Saturday, at the same time, I'm feeling feverish all the time. Talk about stress! 112 days until the wedding and I still cannot picture how everything will go.

Aaaaargggh.

*Note: Having mouth sores makes it difficult to eat - instant diet! Hehe. =P
