Toy Crazy Zoe

The pictures above were taken two weeks ago when we watched Narnia. As usual, my husband went inside a toy store. While waiting, Zoe noticed the toys at the display window. Every time we go to this store, she’s always saying “Mommy, can you buy me those pink accessories for my Barbie dolls?” Then I will say, “May be next time, baby.”

Bon Voyage Lelyn!


Today is the day that our friend, Glen Lelyn Quan, is going to leave for Japan. She will work there and who knows when she’ll be going back to the Philippines?!

I will miss her, and I know that most of our friends will miss her, too. This girl is someone you can always count on. Behind her demure way of showing her feminism is a very strong personality that is influential to everybody she meets. I know that the Japanese people who’ll get to know her will notice that, too.

Go Lel! Make your mark in Japan, but do not forget to go back home every six months? or every year?

Just keep us posted:)

Astral Dreamy ZOE

I made this photo last month using the Astral Flora brushes from brusheezy.

I got so excited about this set of brushes that I did not think of a better way of using them.

I will practice on this one.

To achieve the coloration used in my photo, please follow these steps (made by luciferous-glow):

1: Make a layer with a black background.
2: Make a new layer that is blank.
3: On this blank layer use the brushes in white.
4: Make a new layer, set the blending mode to Overlay.
5: Using soft round brushes of different sizes and colors, paint into this layer and you will the color show up over the flora brushes on the layer beneath.

To make the colors brighter, duplicate or copy the layer with the bright colors, or set the blending mode to Hard Light.

My first certain decision for this year

I am scheduled for an interview at De La Salle Canlubang today. A girl from DLSC sent me a text message last Friday regarding my interview. I thought that I want to come, so I asked her to move it since I have an afternoon class today. But then, I decided not to go tomorrow (she moved it to Tuesday). I’ve sent her an email about my application withdrawal.

I am certain about this decision.

Spending our afternoon at NAIA

Kuya Eniel went back to Dubai today. Zoe and I went with my parents to bring him to the airport.

Due to delayed arrival of Ninong Darwin, I told them that we will not go with them anymore. But they want Zoe to be there, and when I asked her if she wanted to come, she said yes. So, do I have any choice? I said okay… and as a result, we spent the whole afternoon at the airport, but it’s okay. At least, my daughter had a chance to bond with my niece and cousins.

Bonding between Zoe and Mommy the whole day

JE went home late last night. Actually, he arrived at 2:oo this morning.

Natural scenario happened. Zoe and I spent the whole day together playing. My husband was sleepy for most part of the day, but it’s okay. I expect that. I guess that’s part of the package. When we agreed that Friday night is his beer night, I should expect this kind of result.

The disturbing part of the day is when we had an argument on working abroad. He mentioned something such as what will happen to his comics when he goes to other country. Honestly speaking, I don’t want that. I can not bear to live a day without seeing him and hugging him before I go to sleep. I just wish that we’ll always be together in raising our child and future children.

Just don’t tell it to her….

I didn’t go to DLSU today. I spent the whole day with Zoe. I was planning to leave her at Nanay’s place in the morning, but she won’t let me go, so I let her sleep first (afternoon nap). She’s knocked out by 2:00 PM.

I went to our house to surf the net.

I had a chat with the wife of my brother-in-law. She told me about how she’s hurting. How their situation is really causing her much pain. I wish I can tell her everything I know….. but I don’t want to be the one to break their marriage.
