Awww, I'm Special! :)

Look at what Rina Kroes and the rest of the Reluctant Muses said about me in this article here:

Reluctant Muses Blog

This has got to be the SWEETEST thing ever! :) Thank you to the Muses, and especially to Rina for saying these wonderful things about me! This has truly validated my scrapping!!!

I'm in the LAX airport lounge, waiting for our flight home to Manila to be called. Good thing the lounge has free wi-fi, hehehehe! Plus, after so many months, PAL has a lounge again, FINALLY! It's taken them forever; the lounge is being shared by toher airlines, I'm pretty sure, but for now, it's almost empty and I'm munching on some sandwiches and chips and chugging down some water. Mom's talking to some General she knows from back home as I surf the net.

I'm signing off now, just so I can post this....just in case the flight is called :)

Inspiration

Inspiration comes in all forms and sizes. For those of you who have read The Secret, you're going to love this inspirational blog. Karl Moore is both an author and an entrepreneur. This guy really writes, having written for several national publications, including a nation-wide syndicated column.

No, I do not know this guy from Adam, but he reminds me of that singer, Lance Bass was it? But a much more serious, not to mention heaps more intelligent sounding than Lance. Hehehe. But really, go visit his blog and give it a chance.

I like the clean look, and more importantly, the words that are on there truly give you something to think about. And more often than not, it looks like, the words give you something to ACT on.

I've bookmarked Karl's blog and encourage you to do the same. Maybe this world would be a better place if we listen to reason....and words of optimism. Yes, it's like a thinking game. We have to THINK positive to BE more positive. Great sense in that, and, putting it the way Karl does, makes much more sense than thinking and talking in the general, all-encompassing way of lumping people in categories.

Maybe there is hope for me :)

A Random Blog

What's a random blog? Check out Random Encounters of We - a blog full of random stuff. :) Cute huh? Anything from money and financial issues, to blog contests, to digital reviews, and my favorite one so far, the latest entry, Photo Throws. As a scrapper, that most recent post was definitely up my alley!

And for bloggers who like making money, this website also gives tips on how to go about doing it. I've already bookmarked this blog for some er....RANDOM.... thoughts, stories, and inspiration. I always need something like that. Brain fodder, you know?

Oh, before I forget, there's also some none-brain fodder in there where you just let loose and not think of anything while going through Random Games. Great mix of issues and topics dealt with Random Encounters!

{Some "Vintage" Scraps}

Why vintage? Had to search for these really old pics to scrap! Hehehe.

DISNEYLAND WITH THE GRANDKIDS
My folks with the grandkids.

Journaling reads: 3.28.2001. Lolo Boy and Mamalyn brought all 5 grandkids to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Of course, no trip would be complete without the Yayas (Ruby, Mira, Haydee) and Mama, Daddy and Mommy! Yes, we were such a big group to go with Reese, Rielle, Raegan, Rogan and Raine. Everyone had such a blast, including both Mamalyn and Lolo Boy, who enjoyed riding all the kiddie rides with their grandkids. The kiddos had so much fun during the entire day, not a one took a nap. Train rides, Dumbo, Peter Pan, even Snow White’s ride were part of the day’s fun. Naturally, there were about a million photos taken of each child with each Disney character we could spy throughout the park!

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST

Journaling reads: Unearthing this photo brought me back to the past, when all of you were in preschool! This was taken during Linggo ng Wika and you had to wear a Filipino costume for class.
