It's Worth It!

This morning my good friends & i went to yard sale just around the town.We've been doing this since couple of weeks ago every Saturday early in the morning til' noon.My main reason why i go to yard sale because i've been collecting big denim blue pants so i can cut them into blocks coz i'm doing a project,a queen size quilt denim blanket.I got lucky this morning because hubby doesn't have overtime so i left our son while he was still asleep.Last time i have to drag along my son coz nobody can attend him and hubby had his overtime at work.What's funny about my son is we can't leave every house without taking any toys,& you know what?They find him cute so they just gave all the toys he took.Whatta silly boy i have!Eventhough his toys are laying around every corner of our house still he wants more!I guess that's all kids are.They get fascinated of new toys in their eyes but later on they'll get tired of it & neglect it after. So this morning was really pretty good.I got lots of fashion jewelries but guess what?I got a real 10k gold bracelet for only .50 Cents & a real pearl necklace for only 5 dollars,can you believe it? I was just guessing that they sell their things so cheap because they said they're moving out to another place.Oh well good for me!I got to buy those very precious things that i cannot buy in store for those kind of price,lucky me huh?I also bought some Mary Kay products for only .50 cents each.I saw some Loui vitton (correct me if my spelling is wrong) purses & it's new they're still sealed in a plastic bag & never been used.But i didn't bought it coz the price is too much for me although i know those branded kind of purse are really expensive when you buy it in store.I just said to myself i won't buy stuff that i will regret buying it later on.I will never get tired going to yard sale coz who knows what you gonna get in there?Like my bracelet,it cost me only 50 cents,it's really worth it huh?More than worth it!So to show you the stuffs that i'm talking about i took pictures of 'em so you can see 'em.

The White Pearl Necklace
Mary Kay Products



I realized that yard sale here are much cheaper than the Ukay-ukay in pinas & they are rest assured that it's been used.Unlike here,the yard sale sometimes you can get things that's never been used.I chatted with my sister early this morning before i went to yard sale she was kinda jealous she was wishing she's here so she can go with me lol!

Edited Photos

I am soooo bored!Today is a day before a big celebration in our place back home.On August 10th will be the Fiesta in our small island place in bohol called PANGANGAN ISLAND.On that day too will be the GREAT ALUMNI HOMECOMING,from the very first batch of that school until the recent graduates (2007).Too bad i can't attend that very special celebration.I just couldn't understand what i feel right now.I want to go home but how?No money si Honey kafaet!And besides,i just had my vacation recently this year last FEBRUARY 22 until MARCH 15.But you know what?I feel so regret that i went home that time,i just got so excited then that's why my very first vacation wasn't that well planned.But anyways at least i had my vacation,i'm still lucky coz some didn't able to go home for a long long time.So instead of keep thinking about the big coming celebration to be held in our precious small place,i decided to open my photoshop & edit some photos that i just googled tonight.Mostly my subjects are flowers & butterflies.I just want to share these photos that i edited that made me feel good after i did all these.Hope you'll enjoy viewing my edited photos.

They are just simple edited photos though.Mao nalang na akong gihimo kay aron medyo maulian ko sa akong kaminghoy diri tawn.Kay kaulion gyud akong dagway.And oh last one,this is a photo of my hubby's younger brother with his kids. Actually it is suppose to be a complete happy family but things had changed in their lives. Their Dad & Mom got divorced when they were young so their grandfather (thier dad's father) wants me to erase their mother on this photo,his youngest son(my hubby's youngest brother) tried to erase her but it came out so obvious that she's been erased in this photo.I tried & i think i certainly made it look nicer than the original photo.Take a look at this!

Before this is edited by my hubby's youngest brother

Can you imagine my get up going to just park?So what i did,i erased my make up & i took off my heels & walked in the park barefooted.Whatta party huh?So i told my hubby that next time he MUST emphasize what kind of party we are going to.Well i was kinda calmed down little bit later seeing my boy having fun in the park running around trying to join his big cousins playing the freesbie game.So i just took picture of my son instead.












Anyways,so much for my hysteria.
Irel & Lotis tagged me about things that people don't know about me.Here's my answer beautiful ladies.Guys,don't be scared!It was me before but not anymore lol!

I'm tagging JennyR,Shabem,ArleneC,KittyKat,Ivy,
Anne & Anna.


1.
I was in first grade it was raining then.I fell into a muddy poddle & i got wet & very awfully dirty.I went home my sister saw me & asked what happened to me.
Because i was scared to tell that i just fell by my own clumsiness,i lied i told her that i was being pushed by my boy classmate. Then she rushed into our classroom & scolded that poor innocent classmate of mine & he cried.Silly me i felt so guilty you know.I asked an apology from him though.

2.When i get furious at school,i do evil things that no one would ever think that it's me who did it.My teacher always wonder why my classmates (the classmates that i hate) gets hurt & they can't find any evidence who did it.

3.
I had a fight with our neighbor,poor girl got big scar in her face until now,coz i crushed her face with my fingernails.
The story was i had a nice "balay-balay" that was constructed by my big sister,i have a little store in it & of course there's play money (candy wrapper) i put it in LION-TIGER KATOL BOX & she stole it.I felt so guilty & embarrassed the last time i saw her.She's being friendly to me despite of what had happened to us during our childhood.

4.
Me & my older brother used to fight when we we're younger.He always pissed me off ,there was one time that he forcedly fed me a laundry powder soap.
So i rushed inside the house & running back outside towards him holding a big "SUNDANG" coz i was ready to chop him off.My mom fainted coz she was scared i might get evil (matod pa ni nanay maayo gani Ta wala ka nayawai)hahahaha.I asked sorry to my mom for what i did that made her feel bad & i caused her almost having heart attack.My older brother was running as fast as he could,he left his slippers because he was frightened hahaha tagam ang amaw lagi.

5.
When i was in first grade i could not still forget that my mother told me to get twenty five cents in the drawer as my BALON in school,but i took two peso coin instead because it looks bigger to me.
& i like the shape too coz it has corners in it. Then my mom checked me if i really did get the twenty five cents,but i didn't open my hands coz i was afraid she might replaced it with a small rounded coin,i don't want that! She did opened my hands & laughed her heads off coz she knows that i don't know yet the value of money that time.She did replaced my BALON still,i got so mad & upset hahaha silly me.

My Parent's Blog

I got tagged by Pretty Lotis my online friend.My parents doesn't have a blog like i do.Especially my Father who died before the Microsoft was born in the world.But i wonder what kind of topic would they have if they have their own blogs?
Hmmm,that would be fun if i try to figure it out here.


Father

My Father's blog would be about Politics,current affairs,weather reports,& etc.He is very good in different kind of language like Chinese,English,Malaysian,Indonesian, Japanese & i couldn't remember the others.Politicians are his good friends,He's very good in PR (Public Relation).He likes to watch news report and all shows that is talking about what's happening to other country & the weather forecast.He likes to read English magazines also so it would be one of his topic in his blog about what he read about & all that.So i think that would be my father's blog's topic.


Mother

My Mother's blog would be about business,cooking,household chores,& proper ways how to take care of children.My mother had couple of business before,selling export shells,convenient store with complete stuffs from needles to fishing supplies,live band bar,& financing fishermen with her own pump boats.My mother is very flexible of all things,she's pretty active.She's very busy woman but despite of all that she still have time to manage & to take care of her kids.So i would say these things would be her topic in her blog.

I am tagging Haze,Rissa,JennyR,Shabem,Juzahlyn,
Kittykat,Claire,BabyJet,& Julai.
