Paintball @ La Mesa Ecopark 02.21.09

Its Saturday- its paintball day!. We are invited by our fellow Unionbankers from the other area for this small get together. And its me and my officemate, Oliver, who came to join in our area. We are sort of late (especially me). It was my very first time to come at La Mesa Ecopark considering that I used to lived at Quezon City for the past 26 years of my life...how ironic! I commute all the way from San Mateo, Rizal to Ecopark. I arrived at around 11:30 A.M, actually we are supposed to be there by 9:30 A.M (buti na lang medyo na late pa sila). So as I arrived, the receptionist helped to gear me up.This is my very first paintball experience too. So I really had no idea. We are given some brief instructions before we start. How to use the guns, we should wear mask all the time...stuff like that. This is my first also to meet the other groups, so medyo shy pa ko. But I found them very nice and enjoying so I have no problems warming up..hehe!. So as we started, they let us first come in the war zone (whatever they call the place..basta yun ang tawag ko) and find our hiding place. I was so scared, coz I got the idea that the paintballs can cause bruises..kaya puro tago ako. And on the first game, I was caught by the opponent plus nagkabukol pako dahil sa paintball..haha! hilarious.. After the game, we have some pictorials with our gears. Medyo smelly lang ang gears dahil siguro sa pawis ng iba..hehe! Right after that, we get to stroll around the park. I was impressed with the place coz I felt like I'm in Baguio (not of the weather ha) because I thought I was in Botannical garden..then when I see the boats, I just thought I was in Burnham Park. So nice to meet new people and of course, in this place...I want to go back with Dennis, soon=)

My valentine's day story..

IN- LOVE

lOVE KO TO..

February 14, 2009. Valentine's Day!

I woke up with my valentino. Hehe! he woke me up at 6AM. And funny but we almost forgot that its V-day, until we're having breakfast with my in-laws..really now! when mama ask me where are we celebrating our valentine's day..I just realized it. We are actually going to Greenhills to meet my friend, Cel, its our shopping day at Lasting Impression. The traffic really sucks . And at around past 10 am, we found ourselves drooling around the store of Ms. Vivian. This is my first time to shop for my goodies (for this year) and now I just get things I'll be using for my new album. Then at around 12:30pm we left and headed back at Greenhills, where I'll meet Dennis. While Cel will be meeting Ivan @ Megamall. This is the first weekend that Dennis has no work schedule, so we are so excited to stroll around Greenhills. I just find it lucky, coz I'm not alone this day=) I also bought the dvd of Sex and the City (original ha!). So right after strolling @ Greenhills and Robinson's galleria..I just felt like having dinner @ home and we watched the movie I bought. Scrap & shop. Simple and happy..in-love and "Sex & the City"..that's what we have this V-day..

P.S : No picture with Cel...with our shopping experience...hehe! No picture din during our date ni Dennis.. How can I forget?...

Altered folder challenge entry {Artzdescrap}

back

here's what's inside..a pocket...

I've been scrapping again. After a long time! I just can't give up reading books..its fun pala. Something I look forward. But I realized to balance my time again to scrap. Sayang ang gamit=) and of course this hobby is always in my heart. I was one of the lucky person to win the RAK give away of Artzdescrap. I was so surprise. Then I just saw their new challenge, and I just find myself doing the altered folder..so now I'm joining...I just chose to keep it simple and with a vintage look. I found this simple brown folder at NBS (just what I have in mind). Then with the use of my mini & reliable scissors..buttons...rub-ons..tadan! here it is.

Just for Dennis...

I made this card a week before the V-day. Its easy for me to concentrate without hiding of what I'm doing during weekends since Dennis is at work all day. Its really a scrapping time...I've been into reading books in weeks, but I found time last week for this special card. Papers used is from Simple Joys..heart & arrow chipboards {american crafts}, foam letters {thickers}, red cardstock {bazzill}. Black cardboard is from NBS.

Happy valentine's day Dennis..this one's for you...

Walking galore...A picture taken near Binondo Church...Parang I know the 3 Gentlemen...
Chris Tiu...so nice and cutie...

Last January 26, 2009 is like another lazy monday for me. But as I reach Binondo area, where I go to work, I just find it busy. Yeah, early in the morning. Well, that was the start of my day. Many people (than any other day) in the streets and there were these different groups with what I believe will be performing for dragon dance that day. But I haven't mention from the start.. I was in my RED blouse..hehe! We have planned it the week before. But I just don't know that this is a really fun, I have no idea at all. It was my first Chinese New Year experience.

While at work, we get to glance at the windows. Hmm..yeah there was a little program in front of our building which is causing traffic. But as they all say , this happens yearly and lagi naman daw traffic dun..hehe! And fireworks is everywhere, most companies in the Binondo area has their own.. and as what they say again this happens yearly.Then we saw a celebrity. SO here was my job..to take the picture of Blue Eagle's Chris Tiu... The branch where I worked wore red blouses. This is a Chinese tradition, they wore red shirts on the new year. I find it cute actually. There was also the dragon dance..where dragons enters and looks for the "ang pao" anywhere ...they have to get it where it was hanged. We have a lunchout and as we stepped out of the office..people are just everywhere. vendors, Tikoy, fruits, people in red..basta jampak! We have lunch at President's at 2pm (really late!). The food is really good and delicious. After few chit chats, we all went back to the office and we arrived at around 4pm. We're in a relax mode actually, tiring from walk and the good food. All in all , this is such a good experience.

An Award from Yvette

Cheers to Artz de Scrap 1st Year!

Months ago, when I got a pretty idle time in the office (in my previous work) I get to view this blog everyday. I get to see different ideas and new faces. I was very interested with the tutorials that I even marked my calendar when they give some teaser (really)..so just I could view it when they unveil the new brilliant idea.

I get to join the challenges..I must admit I haven't won any of it, but for me its the idea that I was able to make something out of their idea..my very own. My favorite challenge is the HOUSE ALBUM. Actually I was one of the lucky persons who got the album. Unfortunately, the album has not arrived on time (it has arrived 2 months after the challenge) But since I'm eager to join, I got a last minute decision...to make my very own house album. here's the link: http://artzdescrap.blogspot.com/2008/04/challenge-5-submissions.html

Once again..cheers on your first year Artz de Scrap..hope I could really find time to join once again...

New Year...New beginnings!

The long holidays are very hectic one and for me its too "bitin"! But so many new memories has started during the New Year. I spend the New Year's Eve at our home. Well, I can now cook...Putanesca at least (Thanks to my mama, who gave me the instructions). It has been a simple eve with my family. Dennis is too amused with his niece, Caitlyn, who often cries everytime she's with him...ayaw kay Tito Den. On the day itself, I get to meet again my hubby's relatives who visited our house that day. We rarely see them, and I'm so glad to see them once again. But another reason why I was so!so!so!happy coz I was able to meet again my dear highschool friends. We rarely have a reunion thing like this since we got different schedules and some are out of the country. Rachelle and Flory were here so we have to meet (syempre). Rachelle will be back for another 2 years pa. We dine at Bubba Gump (of course treat ng dalawang balikbayan!) and super enjoy. Laugh, chat and eat are the things we did that day. So much stories...reminiscing! a day of nostalgia...After having coffee, we have a mini gimik at Giligans...happy new year!
