Etchos

During our meeting with our adviser I saw some of my classmates making these really cool art work. They called it Etchos (I believe). Here is how you do it.

1. You choose your colors
2. On your paper, draw a box
3. Divide your box in sections (one for each color)
4. Color in each section with its designated color
5. Color it in thoroughly (you must hold your crayon straight not slanted)
6. When you color, it should be dark so it will work
7. When you finish coloring each section, use a black crayon to overlap the entire thing
8. Color over the entire box the same way you colored the others
9. When you're done coloring, draw your design
10. You're finished!!!!!!

Look below for some of the finished product. The name of each artist will be below their work. Mine will be at the very bottom.

Finished

Phew!!!! Finally, I am finished with my mini-thesis. Or rather we are finished. After all the trouble and obstacles we managed to survive. So to celebrate the achievement I went out for a drink! It was only for a short while, being tired and everything. After all, I hadn't gotten much sleep lately.

Well, here's to a good work well done!!!! Cheers!!!!

Tumblers

Good day to you all!!!!! I just got my self a new tumbler from Starbucks!!!!! Its for cold beverages. I was actually going to buy a coffee tumbler for hot beverages but I saw this one and fell in love with it.

It looks just like the cups that Starbucks use when serving cold beverages. Except this one is made of hard plastic with a lid that you can screw on. The straw itself comes with the tumbler. I still have my (old) coffee tumbler but I took the paper decor out. It kinda melted. Here's what it looks like now.

True Blood Plurk Theme

Here is the new look of my plurk!!!!! What do you think? I've just recently just gotten into the True Blood craze and all.

Starbuck Ice Cold Tumbler

I went to the gym at SM Southmall last night. I worked out for about an hour or two and then I went home. But as I was walking through the mall, I had a sudden craving for Starbucks coffee. I knew I was going to be in trouble for drinking coffee at night (I have insomnia and I was going to make it worst by getting a caffiene boost).

Anyway, I walked into Starbucks and saw their display of tumblers. My sister bought me one last Christmas -- it was blue and tall. For a long time I have wanted to buy a Starbucks tumbler. You know the small one that can fit a cup of coffee so that when I'm late and don't have time to sit down and drink coffee I can just use the tumbler and drink on the go.

When I had decided to buy a coffee tumbler I didn't have enough money so I ended up buying a coffee tumbler from SM. Its the same size as the Starbucks tumbler but a little bit bigger. I figured since I still had that tumbler I might as well keep using it until its no longer usable. So I went to get coffee instead. But somethng caught my eye.

On the shelf I saw a cup. Imagine the Starbucks cups they use for cold beverages except this one was hard.


I feel in love with it. Its durable, re-usable, and it comes with its very own straw. I must admit it was a bit costly (along with the coffee). But it was worth it. Now I can just fill this cup with coffee and pretend that I got it from Starbucks!!!! LOL!!!!!

Prayer for Corey Aquino

which Tita Cory has composed herself

Prayer For a Happy Death

By Maria Corazon "Cory" Aquino

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.

When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love,

Amen.

How To Stay Young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height.  Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."  And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.  And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!

 6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:  Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares?  But do share this with someone.

"Have a Patience and Positive approach towards your goal that will lead you in the way of success... "

REMEMBER ...
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution
is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one, who kneels to the Lord,
can stand up to anything.

Foot All Better

I just wanted to blog about this since I am soooooo happy about it. What is it you ask?

Well, for a while now I had some rashes on the sides of my feet. They were really itchy and they bleed. Sorry to gross you out and all, but that's how it was. Why did I have them? You see I have exzema. At first when I was little I had asthma, then it became asthma of the skin, now its exzema. It was really troublesome when I was little and it was when it was really bad. I had to avoid certain things like food -- our dog (it was the hair that made my skin irratated). I use to have allergy outbreaks all the time. I'd get rashes on my elbows, knees, on the back of my neck. There was even a time when I got them on my face!!!!

Hey now!!!! I wasn't hideous or anything. It was just three small rashes at certain areas of my face. My nose, lower lip (small portion) and left side of my chin. But they're all gone now.

Nowadays, I have to careful. I don't have anymore of 'those' rashes but I do get the occasional bleeder. What's that you ask? Well, its an area of my skin that got irritated and I (sigh) scratched it and it bled. Just a little bit though!

Anywhoooo, back to the topic on hand. Like I said, I had rashes on my feet for a while now. I tried various creams and ointments, but none of them really worked. At one time my dermatologist suggested injects for my foot. I went rigid at the thought. I'm not afraid of injections or anything like that but on my foot!?!?!?!?! Naturally I said no at first...but some time after Christmas I caved. So I went to the doctor and had my foot injections.

What happened? Low and behold......

My foot healed!!!!! As you can see the rashes are gone!!!!! The small spots you see are remnants of the rashes that I use to have. They're scars. But as the doctor said, they will fade in time.

Well, that's all!!!!!
