Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally -- a cleaner, fresher, more "grown-up" look ((Well I am 36 y.o. after all)). And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout's narrow posting area that I can't get over how roomy this is. :) But what exactly happened, you ...

In this room, in this room of mine.

I've been wanting to do a home office makeover ((Whatever for did I watch all those episodes of Merge, Clean House, and Design Remix when we still had the Lifestyle channel?)) for the longest time, and it was last month's termite invasion that pushed me to finally do it. I'll ...

The clover under your feet is shooting stars in the night.

January has been quite busy work-AND-household-maintenance-wise for Arn and me. Since my last entry, we've somehow managed to accomplish the following: 1) Had the house treated for termites. If you haven't inspected your cupboards and storage areas in a while, do yourselves a favor and do so now, you'll never know ...

The years go on and we’re still fighting it

A pleasant and prosperous brand new 2008 to all! Here's to fresh beginnings, shiny new hopes, and clean slates aching to be filled with happy memories. - Can I also just share that this year, I will be "celebrating" my 11th year aboard the world wide web. Before I acquired the domain ...

Can you feel it? (Turn up your stereo!)

I have a confession to make: ever since Twitter invaded my life, I've been too lazy to update the normal way. But rather than let this webspace go to waste ((And yes, it's been paid for til the end of the year.)), here's one big fat update coming up. So ...

And so we’re told this is the golden age

Happy 2007 to all of you :D *** A few scenes from MY December: One of my bestest friends Sheila was in Manila last month so naturally Tips and I dropped everything to meet with her for good ol' lunch and coffee. And then of course there were the family reunions and get-togethers ...

In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife.

*** May all of you have the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of new years! *** And if you're still stumped about what to give your loved ones this season, why don't you check out Michael's list of Christmas Gift Ideas from Filipino Graphic Designers ((Thank you for the mention, Michael and ...

I need perfection, some twisted selection

One of the best things about having a blog is that you get to meet and interact with people who share your interests. A few posts ago, I talked about how much I liked Real Simple mag. And then a friend of mine -- working mom Candice -- posted a ...

More of my domestic adventures.

How very interesting - a knitted wedding! (I remember Nest telling me about this when we saw each other a few days ago.) Everything, from the bride's gown, wedding cake, flowers and confetti were knitted, and it all began with this invitation for contributions from knitters all over the UK. ...

Domesticity.

How I wish I had ideas as creative as these when we were tasked to recycle junk into something useful back in grade school*: A vinyl record fruit bowl, a motherboard cd case, a vinyl record cover bag, scrabble-block cufflinks, and a telephone cord bowl. Of course, back then the items ...

Hello again, it’s me.

Wow, in four days it will be a year since I last updated this blog! Where did the time go? I don't even know what to write about here anymore. *sheepish grin* There are actually TWO things that prompted me to post an update. 1) A conversation I had with my friend ...

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

Okay, that's not entirely true ((the subject heading, I mean. It's a song lyric like always)) -- a lot has happened since my last update. I've quite forgotten how to write blog posts so allow me to do it in bullets. * My husband Arnold Arre is Powerbooks' Author of ...

You made me like it more and more

My husband Arnold's latest graphic novel, Martial Law Babies will finally be out in stores next week. Hope you can check out the fully-packed site which features a synopsis, preview pages, online ordering info (coming soon), and notes by Arn on how he came up with the idea to write ...

Art girl… I-i love you
