If you want to chug along, you can catch up on these train stations: Tag Train #1, Tag Train #2, Tag Train #3, Tag Train #4, Tag Train #5 Tag Train #6, Tag Train #7

1. Complete this sentence: THE WORLD NEEDS…
..to know God and everything else will follow.

2. If you were a crayon, what color would you be and why?
I’d be royal blue because I’m deep, mysterious and a royal pain Kidding! I’d want to be yellow. I always try to be happy!

3. Favorite day/s of the week?
Thursday because it means I can do anything I want without thinking Matthew needs to go to school early in the morning because tomorrow is a Friday Simple things make me happy. Fridays because we usually go to the mall during that day (I go with my Mom who goes to the bank – nakikisabay) and Edil comes home. I can window shop and treat myself to eating out and look for Santa Fe dehumidifiers for Matthew’s rhinitis and sinusitis. It’s getting cold here.

4. How many spam mails do you get in a day?
Around 20. It usually was only 5 or 6.

OMG, ask me another question. I haven’t been in a theater in years. But I just watched Ella Enchanted on DVD – I love it!! I actually have watched it seven times since then

8. Where was the first time you ever saw the person you like at the moment?
If we are talking about Edil, BNP Nova Center. If we are talking about Gong Yoo, it would be on TV

• Went to Manila. Long drive. Late lunch at SM Dasmarinas. Stopped at SM San Lazaro to pay bills then went to Valenzuela to crash at Edil’s parents’ place.
• Had a great time chatting and catching up with my sister-in-laws. It has been a long time.
• Matthew and Martha also had a blast playing with their cousins.
• Come Sunday we went to my Lola to have a foodfest (there goes my weight loss goal!) because an aunt and my cousin (with her husband) came from the US.
• Ate kaldereta!! (This is a favorite of mine)
• Had a great time talking with aunts and cousins ~ I wish I can be a cool aunt when I get that old. We talked about Vicki (see story here)
• Went to Trinoma. Kids got some things at Toys R Us (Matthew got books – Tell Me Series and Martha got a toy car)
• Ate egg tart. FINALLY!
• Went home to Cavite at 6PM. Arrived at 8PM
• We were so tired.

There is really no place like home.

Remember it is all about positivity this week.

I’m doing a couple of projects this week, to prepare I’ve blogged across all blogs today. Let me take you a tour Manic Mondays are a thing of a past, I will list all things that are needed to be done this week (including window shopping for Manolo Blahnik shoes – in my dreams!) , break it up to be done from day to day.

I love that I feel so organized and stress-free (I have a very nice anecdote to share on this one) today.

It must be the nice weekend I had – where there was another foodfest, not to mention my taste of Lord Stows after months. And I owe it to an extremely NICE way to start the morning – Matthew wasnt a pain, didnt throw a tantrum, ate all his breakfast (noodles, hotdog and Milo) and was ready 10minutes BEFORE 6AM. Hallelujah! I wish all mornings were like this. We even got to say I love you when we said goodbye. It is usually “Bilisan mo na!! Sige, ingat!” Hehehe.

Life is good, but it can get extremely better.

I will take a blogging break from my job today (I have a lot of pending jobs to-do), to make sure I have enough energy to last throughout the week. I am joining a creative challenge all throughout the week too!

Attract the positive karma, as someone would say.

Have a great week!

Finally, after such a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG break, AWK is back. I had a loooooooooooooooong draft about this week’s (or month’s) tag. But the last minute, I decided to just scrap about it and share it with my kids in the future (nope – not sharing online even on Flickr. I honestly feel if it needs to be seen by the world, it needs to be in print! LOL). There are certain things Id like to keep for myself, and well, if you read my blog, you’d find bits and pieces already!

Anyway, for this week, I want to SEE you. Post your most recent pictures. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t look great. I want to see more than what is a normal avatar. Take note that it needs to be RECENT. Can you believe I can use an avatar dated 2 years ago? Time for things to change

Secondly, I want to KNOW you. Just YOU. Sans kids, the husband, just YOU. I have a lot of ME tags in my blog – you can use that. What do I want to read: You – Now. It can be as simple as “I love Coke.” or as complex as “I am the crossroads of my life.”

Here is mine:

This is me today. The picture was taken last September 15, after I got my hair dyed (I use the term dye because if I use the word colored you might think it’s a drastic change).

And here is what I want to share for now:

What I wrote: I was the smart kid who had a baby too soon and still refused to get married. I am blessed to still end up with the love of my life who waited. Waited until I was ready to marry him. 24 is my lucky number At age 24, I finished two degrees, had the wedding of my dreams and got pregnant with my mini-me. I feel I have been living my life in the fast lane and Im scared that if I don’t slow down life itself will be gone in a blink of an eye. So that is what Im doing. Slowing down. Walking through life. It is harder than I thought, being used to running all the time. But yes, Im stopping to smell the roses. at last. i managed to finally slow down and enjoy these things: scrapbooking, taking photos, sipping coffee, smelling coffee, collecting scrap kits, blogging, twittering and plurking, kaboodling – it is shopping without spending!, the colors green and aqua blue. pink and brown is still the best though. maintaining my own house. learning domesticity aka cooking. i realized i enjoy losing weight, but still love eating. what a dilemna. i enjoy my kids – eventhough they have made me cry countless of times because of anger and frustration. i enjoy talking, even if it is my fingers talking (aka chatting online). i enjoy family dinners now and talking to my parents. i never thought i would say that. i talk to them more than my husband. i guess that is a bad thing. i enjoy my husband’s company, i only realized that when he is not at home 5 days a week due to work. this is me talking, me who cant wait for him to get out of my sight for an hour back when we were together 24/7. now, i enjoy him more, quirks and all. i enjoy going to tagaytay, a place where you just see things and eat and smell clean fresh air. i enjoy being productive and realizing at the end of the day, i still get to do the things i love. i enjoy setting unreachable goals. i always make sure i work to make them reachable. i love praying, i really hear my god speaking to me. try it sometime. walk through life.

And since I’m especially generous these days – in the spirit of the upcoming holidays, ALL entries posted on or before October 10, 2008 (my Dad’s birthday), will be entered into a random drawing to receive $10! I will be drawing three entries on October 11, 2008, 12NN, Manila time.

Take a picture of yourself. I want to see you.

I’m off to look for potential Chicago jobs at a hospital! Join the fun!

Most of you know I am involved with scrapbooking – it is a hobby, a creative outlet and a passion I have.

I was talking to Glo weeks before planning to buy a Bamboo Fun Tablet because my right wrist has been killing me (the vein where I had my IV inserted is still sore ~ the doctor said since IVs are plastic nowadays it will take a long time to heal. I don’t know what is the connection.)

Anyhow, since I can use the $100 on better things (like getting a passport for Edil, I decided to submit a layout to the Wacom Pen Scrappers Contest. The 10 people who gets the most number of votes gets a Bamboo Fun so why not right? I have YOU guys to vote for me, hehehe.

You can see it in the sidebar of my blogs, and when you click on it you will see the layout Ive submitted, which is actually this one:

Thanks for the vote, and you can vote more than once!

Extra: Read his I Want to Be a Dictionary here.

Matthew has been playing with Paint for a few weeks now, a lesson learned from his Computer Class.

He is now tambay at my laptop, because he claims to like the screen of G and my mouse more (which is true – our LCD monitor blinks already).

Here are some of his “art” work:

So pretty isnt it?

Now, he makes up stories about the environment and saw me using Windows Live Writer and wanted to write. So here he is:

Hi! I am Mato. I’m happy.
