Aaaah...there is nothing better than waking up late and knowing that I don't have to rush to the office. Bliss!!! Today is day 2 of a 4-day weekend here, and I don't plan on doing anything else but eat, scrap and sleep. Yes, I plan to live the life of a digiscrapping pig.
I attended the wedding of a dear friend, Alvin, yesterday. Drove myself miles and miles away for about an hour and a half, and take note that I did that ALONE. One one hand, I'm quite proud of myself. I've never driven myself that far before, so Alvin had better love me for coming to his wedding. LOL!!! One the other hand, I was (and still am!) peeved at Mr. S for not coming with me. I had told him about this wedding since last week, but he had to go plan this meeting schmeeting with his friends. Whatever. So really, it was part love for Alvin and part pride and pigheadedness that I did it.
But hey, don't get me wrong because I loved that I went. It was a beautiful wedding, and I also discovered that Alvin is such a sweet crybaby. LOL! He cried when they showed a video his bestfriend did, he cried when his baby sister gave a speech, he cried when his bestman gave a toast, he cried when his mom gave a speech. And those are the only ones I caught! LOL! But really, it was a sweet wedding and I wish Alvin and Michele the best. Here's a lovely photo I took of the couple.
Aren't they sweet? The wedding was held in Tagaytay, which is a such a picturesque venue. I had a great time taking photos too, and I realized I definitely must buy a Speedlite for my camera.
Here's a photo I took of the view from the reception venue. I didn't use my flash so I could capture its natural lighting.
And of course, I had someone take a photo of me. LOL! I couldn't always be behind the camera, ya know. If you look at the view behind me, you can see Taal Volcano (it's left of me). Cool!
Anyhoo, on to other things. I've been quite busy the past few nights making a mini kit for the RAKScraps members mega RAK. It started last month when Christine "hosted" a kit swap. Members created mini kits or alphas or stuff, then Christine pulled everything together to come up with a whole shebang of yummy digital goodies for all who participated! LOL!!! It must've been a nightmare to get everything organized, so a huge thanks to Christine for doing that. Since the first kit swap went so well, it seems that it's now going to be a monthly thing, but rather than collating everything, you just host your own downloadable goodies. I love the color swatch that Christine chose for this month, and I sooo love the kit I came up with. Wanna see?
Cute huh? Teehee! I uploaded the file already, so you can either head on over to RAKScraps or get it here. Wanna see the one that I made for the first swap?
Not bad eh? LOL!!! But it's so fun making kits, and for some reason, I particularly enjoy making alphas.
I was watching the telly the other night, and as I was surfing channels, I found myself watching this guy pin wooden clothespins on his face. Welcome to the Guinness Book of World Records! Do you guys watch this? It is so unbelievably...lame! Sorry if there are Guinness fans out there. Ok, so the guy gets the record for the most number of wooden clothespins on his face, but who is he up against? And WHY would you do this? And it gets even funnier...this guy is actually trying to beat a previous record. You know who held it previously? HIMSELF! Isn't the fact that he continues to hold the title a clear indication that no one in their right mind would do such a thing? Oh my lordy...
Dropped by Audra's blog yesterday and saw this. WOWZERS. Now that makes me think twice about giving birth. Holy shit, it's like giving birth to twins! AT THE SAME TIME! Amazing....
Ok, I think I'm rambling now. Hope you guys are doing good! Smoochies!!!
