Sewn a little. Dyed a lot.

Did I say DYE? 

Yes, thank you very much! I just did! And now, I can't leave the house without my hat on. Pfffft! 

I asked for a purple/lavender hair dye but it wasn't that successful. Though I like the result of my current hair shade, I still feel alienated because of that. I wonder why do people give you such rude stares when you have a veeery different hair color? DUH-UH??? Some even tried to make fun of my hair. Awful feeling is awful. -_-* One acquaintance of mine asked what did I do to my hair, obviously insinuating something else. I answered, "I'm trying to ruin it." And she said, "Oh yeah? Give me scissor then. Haha.." 

WTF??? 

I reminded myself again that rebuttal or even a nice explanation would be useless and time consuming.  Especially with stupid/ignorant people. What? Should I explain to them how all these have started and fill them with information that might make their brains explode? No way! Anyhoo, I am half used to being laughed at. They don't like me. So why waste my time making them like me? Right? Yes, thank you very much! 

On another note, PGLC's 2nd Anniversary is on Saturday and I am cramming (seriously) to finish my dress. As of now, I am 75% done. Just a little more push and it's all good. 

My sister took these photos while I was all consumed on my sewing.

Pardon my covered face. Derpy-derp it is. xD and yeah. TEH HAIR! 

I was working on the collar at that time. Now, that part is also done. I just have to attach the zippers and some other details of my dress. That's what I'm going to wear on Saturday. It's going to be my first time to wear pinkXblack. I'm nervous. Haha. xD

And THIS. 

The bow that I made as part of the details of my dress.

 This bow took me almost an hour to make. I think you can see why. However, I enjoyed doing it!~ I really feel a bit sad because the lace that I used is of limited quantity. If I had a lot, I could use it on the hemline of my dress. Aaaaaw... :[ 

*sigh* I can't wait for Saturday! I wish everything will be in order on that day. Will flood you with photos right after the event. I'm sure it'll be fun! I'll see you soon... ♥

Coming back...

Before I started writing this entry, my heart was beating fast and there were like thousands of butterflies fluttering in my stomach. It was like writing my first post again. It has been a long time... I have been checking this blog from time to time but I just couldn't find the will to write something down. *sigh* So, I hope this time I could return to my usual blogging habits. 

What's keeping me busy lately?

A lot of things!~

> kids and their schooling

> a bunch of unfinished sewing projects

> rainy days

> Pet Society >.< (Yeah! I still play that thing!)

> trying to earn some money

> family matters

> depression

> coffee!

> my cat that have just given birth to 4 lovely, unusual kittens

> playing around with Roca, our cuuute shih tzu pup!

> some shopping ~lalala

> the dishes

> house cleaning

> and more other nonsense stuffs 

Four little kittens of my looovely cat Sakura!~

~♥~ The only white one. Her tail is really short. *mine!~  Odd but still lovely!~

~ My sister's playful pup, Roca! ~

Ohai, sewing machine!~ ♥

More stories about this on my next post!

Oh well... Most things mentioned aren't really something or might not mean anything to anyone. But, yeah.. I am trying to slow down a bit lately... One day, boredom will strike back at me and I am left alone again with blogging. I just feel so full of things to do and because I do, I don't really know what I should do first!!! My tasks are overwhelming! UGH!!! 

I'll try to come back again for updates. I still feel I owe you more stories and that I should make up for my looong absence. 

I'll see you around! MMMUAH! ♥

Changes in April

"Growth is a painful process."

It's the first day of April. While everyone is busy making plans for the whole month and some others are trying to fool around because it's April Fool's day, I on the other hand, contemplated. What changes do I want to take place this month? Our summer vacation officially starts today. And I'm supposed to run around and jump and scream "YAY!" But instead of doing so, I decided to think things over before I could run around and jump and scream "YAY!"... 

I really want to elaborate on that but if you know me, I'm not good with words. My mind is focused on something right now which makes it harder for me to figure out what I have been meaning to tell you. 

Change is all I want. Perhaps, the whole process could hurt but what more can I not endure? Growing, I'd say is what I am going through right now. And it's for the nth time, so it's not new. This could mean changes in habits, hobbies, plans for the future, career, personal, etc. I think it is quite normal... What I don't understand is why am I bothered as much as I am excited? Why is it painful? Why can't I let it out? 

Sorry. I sound like ranting over something again. But don't get me wrong, please. I'm just trying to vent. This blog is my breathing space. I keep telling myself, what's with the blues? It's going to be my birthday soon. And yeah! That reminds me of something. I promised myself that I will buy a new sewing machine for my birthday and I haven't saved a penny yet. >.< 

Anyway, I really hope that these changes would not affect my life negatively. I have to remind myself over again...


Happiness is a choice! And I'd stay happy whether I change or not. xD

Getting used to fun times

The past week had been all hectic and filled with worthwhile activities for me. I had to attend some important matters with my shop and other related stuffs. All of them were quite successful and I am really happy about it! ♥

during the Grad Mass

I have also attended my son's Graduation Mass last Friday and the fun part was I brought Jaja along! :) Yes, she spent two days here in our house, since we have a lot to furnish regarding EFL and some sewing plans. But we ended up chatting the night away as if we haven't been together for ages. LOL!
I guess taking her with me to my son's school is not quite a great idea for a recreation. But she happily accepted the offer and as a treat, I took her to my favorite tea house near my place. I am glad that she found the place awesome and she liked the bubble tea that we have ordered.

Notice the hair?

*u*

I wanted to grab that book of desserts but I'm afraid I might ruin the table setting. :)

some magazines*

the facade*

yummy fried rice*

Shoes of the day: Christian Siriano flats ♥

We stayed there for a while, ate heartily and chat endlessly. She was the one who took most of the photos using my cam. The service crew was generous enough and gave us sampler shots of their Iced Latte. (*Geez! I can't find the photos..) It is always fun to get freebies! :) 

She decided to go back to her house that day and promised to return next week. Then I am left with tons of clothes to press for the next day. It's my son's graduation day. 

I wonder what to wear? ^^

Loads ands loads ofs works!

Yes! I indeed have a lot of work to finish! But I am aching to blog!

I have been wanting to write but couldn't find the time. No! Not the time, really. The peace. The silence. The moment alone. Those were what I'm missing. With so many people around and so many things to accomplish, how could I ever find the peace to write? ugh! There were many a  time when I tried to start typing what's on my mind, an event I've recently attended or a new dress I was able to finish sewing or, or, a good thrift find... But I always find myself staring blankly on a blank space in my monitor. And right now, right at this very moment, I am stuck with tons of paper works that is due first working day next week. WTF?!

Even my shop has been in hiatus for I don't remember for how long. My knitting and crochet projects are still sitting on my working table, undone. Some of the beaded jewelry I have started making needs immediate attention. RANT! RANT! RANT!

Gaaaawd! Please?! I'm aching to blog! Just this once!

OK! 

I'm hoping that you'll bear with me in the coming days. I'll try to squeeze in blogging in my very tight schedule. I will share many stories, photos, crafts and whatever things. That's my New Year's Resolution, btw.. To become a better blogger. :)
(That part put a smile on my face! Tee-hee! ^_^)

All apologies?

uh, uhm... I am so sorry for the long wait. :( 

Due to so many "things-to-do" and obligations, I wasn't able to post anything for a couple of weeks or so. As you can see, me here is also a very busy mom, wife and entrepreneur. I've attended several conventions in the past weeks plus of course our community meet last Oct. 16. Aaaaw... All that really have drained my energy. But it was all worth it. 

My friend Jaja have posted her report about the event. You can visit her report here. I will be posting more photos in a few (yes! really!)

*geez!* Thank you for visiting and I hope you'd still read on despite my lack of posts... :))

*hugz*

updates

will update in a few ♥... 

Please stand by... ☺

SEW Hectic Hell week!

I apologize for not posting a lot lately... I only have a few days left to make enough things and finish my projects that is why I'm not blogging lately. The PGLC gathering is on Saturday and I have to prepare. *rush-panic-faints* 

I'll see you soon! And I promise to bring lots of stories and photoooos when I get back!
