My New Blog :]

Mk knows how addicted I am to photoshop now and how I'm loving the idea of designing layouts, that's why he told me to why not keep a record of all my designs like a portfolio. A light bulb moment! creating a new blog dedicated for my designs would be a good idea. And so, "The Artist In me" blog was created. This new blog of mine is not entirely and mainly for layout designs only, I will post my digi scrappings there too and others... So, if you have any questions, suggestions and comments regarding my designs? just check out my new blog.. hehehe.. please kindly add it in your blogroll. Thank you. mwahugs!

The Artist In Me
http://mydesigns.tchel.com


And since my lil Fabia won't let me go to the living room to connect online, I got to spend more time with my partner in designing, Mr. Photoshop. Her, playing with her toys and me, playing with Mr. Photoshop :] As a result, I was able to design a new layout for this blog of mine and other layouts that are for my friends. What do you guys think of my new layout? I 120% love it! The original design was far from this one, it was Fabia who gave me the idea for the new look and Mk approved it. To those who left me nice comments about my new layout, thank you. Its flattering :]

Please Pardon Me :[

To all, if not, to some, my apologies and sorry. Please pardon me for not being able to blog hop actively these past few days. Excuse me as well for being absent in your blogs lately. I've been busy with my offline life and seriously playing the role of a wife and a mother. The yayas are on a vacation - sort of - because my Fabia prefers to be with me all the time. I can only access the internet in our bedroom and in the living room, Mk didn't configure the wi-fi since the cables are long enough to reach our bedroom. Even if Mk did configure the wi-fi still I'm not allowed to go online all the time, my Fabia won't let me especially during the day. She lets Papa Mk of course because he's working, so Mk is in our bedroom whilst Fabia and I are in the other room playing and watching tele. Sometimes I would ask her if I can go online and be in the living room and she'll say, "okay mama but only for a few minutes ha?". However, most of the times she won't let me, instead she'll tell me to take my lappy in the other room and I'll play with it whilst she's playing with her toys. She said, "mama your computer is your toy and my baby doll is my toy, okay?" hehehehe....cute! So, who's the boss now?


When I'm not with Fabia, I'm busy attending to Mk's needs, preparing meals. I don't want to just rely on the maid, I want to do it personally and Mk is loving it so much, he said he's living like a king here because I do all the cooking. In Bahrain, I'm the queen and he's the cook! hahahaha....

Believe it or not I'm becoming a vampire hahahaha... When everybody is asleep that's the time that I go online until wee hours. Insomnia attack!

Thanks to all who never fail to visit my blogs. Much appreciate the gesture. mwahugs! I'll blog hop as soon as my baby boss lets me. hehehe

Mk Is Here :]

Mk's here! He arrived this afternoon from his meetings in Manila. Fabia was so excited since last night, she went to bed early and woke up early this morning and even rushed her yaya to bathe her. The plane just landed when we arrived at the airport to pick him up - talk about good timing eh? hehehe. Fabia shouted when she saw her Papa came out of the plane. The first thing I noticed was, Mk looked very tired, knackered is the right word actually. He told me that he didn't have enough sleep, the bloody meetings sucked all his energy - poor him. His meetings would start at 8am then would finish at 10pm - eating his meals at the same time working and talking. I know because he sent me messages and called me before and after his meetings.

He nearly missed his flight because he got stuck in the traffic and argued with the Cebu Pacific staff at the airport because they wanted him to check-in his hand carry luggage, he refused - the plane was boarding already. It was a good thing that he opted to get the Cebu Pacific flights, their 12noon flight schedule is more convenient to his part unlike in PAL, their flight Manila-Gensan is at 7am which is too early for him.


Mk is a bit disappointed that he didn't have the time to go shopping to buy something for us. He said it was a shame because he stayed in Crowne Plaza in Pasig City and Robinsons Galleria is just a glass door away. Its not very important anyway, what's important is he's back safely. Ohh! He bought us some Goldilocks' products at the Manila airport.. hehehe.. very thoughtful of him :] mwahugs!

Its still early for his bedtime, however, he is asleep already. He's so knackered that he fell asleep straight away. Sleeping like a baby. hehehe.. He told me that there's a lot of things that we need to talk about tomorrow, its regarding the meetings and how it will affect our future. hmmmm..... hope it will be for the best...whatever, whenever, as long as we are together, one family

I'm glad and happy that Mk is here. I missed him much but he missed me much to much.. more than me of course! hehehe..

A Day In The Mall

Merry-go-round ride

Free throws = 2 tokens :]

Chicken Lauriat for me and Mama :]

Hala cge picture!... lol

Mama, am tired already.... need to rest :]

NO! paparazzi pls! lol

WARNING! beware of those chubby cheeks...hihihi

We went to the malls today - girls havin' fun [me, fabia, my cousin, yaya, aunt, grandma and lil cousin] My mother couldn't go with us because she had some errands to do, too bad. First, we went to KCC mall, and of course we went straight to the kids' playground - it's a must! Fabia and baby shane tried the rides, fabia went riding on the carousel and then played the kiddie basketball. After they had enough of the rides, we then went to the second floor for some shopping. I bought a very nice pair of flat shoes - i love flat shoes! and I bought some flip-flops too for me, for my mother, for my cousin and for the yaya. For Fabia, I bought her a cute summer dress in green, a top in yellow colour, a pair of silver flat sandals and a hello kitty cap which she chose.


We had lunch at ChowKing located inside the mall - my aunt's choice. Chopsuey with rice for my aunt, Chicken Lauriats for grandma, my cousin and yaya, also Chicken Lauriat for me and fabia to share and of course Halo-halo was present. After eating, we decided to make the most of the afternoon, so we went to the other mall - Gaisano mall. Unplanned, I bought a new shirt for me. I asked fabia if she wants a new toy, she said no and not interested. We looked around in Gaisano for at least an hour then we finally decided to go home.

I was so surprised and so proud of my lil fabia today, she was so patient and so well-behaved in the mall. No tantrums. She didn't even point at any toys or any stuff for me to buy. She was already contented and happy that she spent time in the kids' playground. Albeit, she complained that she's tired of walking already when we were in Gaisano which was understandable, still she was very good. I told Papa MK about how behaved she was today and she'll get a very nice prize from him. hmmmm.... and for me? :] Love yah my baby! mwahugs!
