so so random as of 6.10.10!

hello thursday...

Inspired Blueprints sketch #49 is now out.  had fun with this today especially since it had to be about yourself.  i don't get to do too many pages of just about me....it's time i start doing more and this sketch has got me going.

i used the A Million Memories May kit for this one and here's my take:

and the so so random tidbits:

this kit had some of my favez:  Lily Bee chipboards, American Crafts and October Afternoon papers...love it!

my random list:

• my last day of work was 5.31.10
• i like to dunk my fries in ketchup mixed with lots and lots of ground pepper
• enjoying being a SAHM, at least temporarily
• i haven't had a cupcake for almost 4 weeks
• addicted to blog surfing
• one of my besties is Rachel Ray, she's been helping me with dinner every nite ever since i've been on 'vacation'
• love reality tv shows on bravo, tlc, & mtv
• love taking silly selfies, can't you tell?
• i live less than five minutes away from my sis
• hoping to get prego, need to expand the clan

checked off my list of my weekly grocery run at walmart.  the freezer is now full officially...

and these have already been properly placed in the cupboards...

can you believe walmart sells bunches of flowers for $5 each?  yes...they do!  and... i got me some...got myself a scrappy gift (on sale of course!) for myself as well since it was payday today...

i did a couple days worth of photos for my everyday album while "babysitting" my nephews after school.  yesterday i was able to fit in a couple of cards...will post those laterz..one of them will only be a sneak peek b/c it's for someone 'special.'

was organizing some older photos from last year and bumped into some when went to pacific beach last summer as a family.  we use to go camping here almost every year, but things changed over time and we could not get all our schedules in sync...but last year we were able to.  it was so beautiful that time too and definitely FUN!  here's a few of my favez...

the first and most beautiful sunset i've ever experienced in my life...i'm gonna miss this place and times like these with family.

good nite thursday.

it was a nice long weekend...fave photos & a layout

this past 4- day weekend was a nice long one... even though my daughter was gone all that time (she came home last night!  yey-yah!)...it was fun and relaxing.

friday night dinner was fun with my gf's, anh & leslie.  we hadn't seen each other the past 2 weeks!  it was like we have never been apart.  we talked and laughed so much.  we ate at pho saigon 8, the food was alright, i had the pork fresh salad bowl (chopsticks still has the best kind).

saturday...  i was able to do an LO.  i did a b&w collage thru snapfish for this one.  i plan on buying a shadow box for this one and displaying it in our new home in cali:

 
i had dinner with my sis and our gf, tiph at thai garden. i am so happy we had dinner and talked about stuff...hopefully things will come together smoothly.  walked around the mall and hit charlotte russe to shop (i didn't buy anything, but the girlies did). me and my sis were acting crazy with the sunglasses display, i think tiph was so embarassed to be around us.  heehee.  then we headed to get in line to get a good seat for sex & the city 2.  my sis and gf decided to be like robotic fanatics...can you say weir-dos!  lol!  anyway...i loved that movie!  it was so funny and had so many life lessons in it.  i just love samantha with her bold and blunt attitude!  she's a riot!  we watched a late one and it ended about 11:45ish and we didn't get home til almost 12:30 a.m., which wow so late for the three of us.  my bedtime is usually 9 p.m. and think tiph's is earlier????  needless to say.. i slept in a bit which is unusual for me even on weekends.

sunday... learned how to play racquetball for the first time.  my hubz said i actually did pretty good.  then we headed for lunch at red bike for a pulled pork bbq and club sandwiches...yumm-o!

we also had a family dinner too at my parents' place... so much food and oh so yumm-o!  i made some rum raisin rice pudding too.  here's the bbq man, josh "brooks."  had to take a pic of my niece, yanni, with her cool tee.

monday... we pretty much did house stuff...my hubz repainted a bathroom and i did loads of laundry....just homeboy and homegirl that day. it's nice to be home too.

today...did a jog around the neighborhood and abs and stretched.  nice workout.  then bought some more paint at the request of my dh and stopped by at one my fave places for one of my favez, decaf tall nonfat latte and a toasted chongo bagel with a thin spread of cream cheese...yumm-o...

then i started on my "everyday project album."  i'll try my best to post some of it laterz.  picked up my daughter, vacuumed, and painted a little bit.  whew...

well gotta cut this now...this was a long post huh?  gotta cook dinner now... white tilapia with a lemon vinaigerette with cannelini beans and chinese cabbage.  it's been awhile since i've made it.  we'll see how it goes.  sige na!

I WAS FEATURED...ON LILY BEE DESIGN BLOG!!!!

omgoodness!   i am freaking out...again...for the 3rd time!!!!!  i was just blog surfing a few of my fave scrapbook design folks and i came across Lily Bee Design on one of their Friday Faves features...and guess who was featured last friday, april 9??????    ME!!! MOI!!!  AKO!!!!!  (<---- that's filipino for 'me')....

my LO, "LIFE" was featured!!!!!!  3rd time.... is a charm!!!!!  i'm almost sh*tt*n' in my pants people!  check it out here by clicking this:  LILY BEE DESIGN FRIDAY FAVES APRIL 9, 2010.  you'll have to scroll down just a tad bit, one layout down after an LO done by Linda Auclair entitled 'wild winter weather' and there I AM!!!!  yey-yah!!!!  (can you tell that's my fave word to say???!???!???).

in case you're having trouble with the link...here is the LO i'm freakin' out about:

journaling:  It's the people that celebrate with you that make it worthwhile.

and here are the lively details, small but matter too:

i noticed that i've been doing quite a few LO's with collage photo flavor to them...i guess you could say it's one of my signature stylez.  you'll be seeing more of that....also i love doing multiples of the same photos, tone on tone, circles, butterflies, border punching!  and yes you'll be seeing more of that too.  yey-yah! 

i said this before...this is one of my favez this year... i had submitted this one as one of two LO's for their Design Team.  i didn't make it but....man...this makes up for it!
