my $200 challenge / clothing purchase strike

so herez the deal...I'm trying to save $$$ for a wedding and I figured I need to cut expenses...most of my hard earned $$$ is spent on either food or clothes...I figured, I love food and need it, so clothes have to go....lol plus I look at my closet and drawers and it is full of clothes...some I haven't even worn yet...I tell my fiance Teej and he laughs when I tell him that I am not going to buy any clothing items till after we get married...he wants to bet $200 that I will buy something before our wedding, hence the name of the $200 challenge =]

I am determined!

Speaking of determination...Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo Habs gooooooooooooooooooooooo =]

so tired but not giving up!

Yes, that's right! I am so tired. Every day there is something I have to do and there isn't enough time in the day! I just want things to slow down and have a day to just relax and not worry about what I have to do next. I have endless to do list and it doesn't help that I am still a procrastinator! grrrrr! I am not giving up..I just need to buck up..on sunday, I ended up visiting my friend at the hospital...despite her diagnosis and prognosis, she looked amazing to me...it hurt inside to see such a wonderful person cry about how her life completely changed just like that...tears rolled down and many hugs were exchanged...I felt hopeful seeing how positive she was and how determined she is to fight..she starts radiation and chemo next week and I'm praying everyday for her recovery, if anyone is reading this please pray for her as well or send out as much positive vibes as you can.....

This weekend is going to be once again crazy busy! A wedding on Saturday and a baptism on Sunday...I'm looking forward to seeing a good friend marry the love of her life...speaking of marriage...Teej and I finally took some steps forward! lol...We went to see the Priest at our church and we booked for either September 16 or September 17, 2011....we have a little over a year but there is so much planning to do! I want Teej and I to do all the planning but I know it is going to be hard with family members and friends who want to be involved in the planning. We made it clear to each other that although we would definitely appreciate the support, we want to plan the wedding our way :) I wish I could stay and blog some more but I have to get my laundry done! toodles for now!!!

Live Laugh Play =]

re-inspired

It has been a while since I've posted on my blog! lol I don't think anyone reads this but I know I do =] I guess I haven't posted anything because I lost my inspiration, my drive to be creative...I was so excited to be making my cards...then I had a setback...someone said " I get cards and I just throw them away"..When I heard her say that, I thought, why put my heart and soul into a card if they're just going to throw it in the garbage? I like things to be functional and when I make my cards, I think that the actual words written in the card is the most important thing...second is the actual card...can it be framed or can it be put in a scrapbook? My next project is putting my photos on a card...
I had a setback and now I'm re-inspired....I realize once again the life is way too short...if I want to do something, I need to just do it, I need to just go for what my mind and heart wants to do...life is full of unexpectations....a few days ago, I found out that a colleague of mine was diagnosed with a type of stage 4 brain cancer....one day she is this active, healthy, and happy young woman and she went to the E.R for a massive headache, only to find that she has cancer....now she has left side paralysis and is getting ready for the battle for her life with a prognosis of 14% that she will live 5 years more...how does this happen to someone who is so positive and full of life...despite the poor prognosis, I am hopeful and sending out my prayers and positive vibes! It really hits home to me...that I know someone who is young and healthy and now has stage 4 brain cancer....I don't know what to say anymore...

Just got back from a crazy game of football!!! sooooo exhausted but happy because I got my first hat trick =] I honestly love this sport sooooo much...I wish that when I was a kid, I had a backbone and fought with my parents to play football... I did whatever my parents wanted me to do(piano, hawain dancing, jazz ballet, choir, bowling, and tennis = typical "pilipino acteebeeteeeezzz" ) although I did love doing these activitities, I really wanted to play football and hockey =p My mum use to say that those sports are for boys :( hahahah she still bugs me as to why I've been playing in a women's soccer league for 3 years when I'm "old"....whahahahahah.....I can't believe it's almost march!!!!!!! wth! where did the time go? I wish there was more time in a day=p

Happiness consists in activity: such is the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.
John M. Good


I'm happy when I do things I love =) Right now, I find happiness when I'm playing football, when I'm making cards, when I'm watching CM and when I'm with the peeps I love!

this what i do =]

sooooooooooo tired =[

I'm soooooooooooo tired today...I feel so drained :( I feel so unmotivated lately especially with work...I came home today and decided to make more cards...I don't seem to have any energy but when I start making cards, I feel relaxed =)
