Faith.

Posted by: alpha on Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Faith is a way of saying, “Yes, I pre-accept the terms of the universe and I embrace in advance what I am presently incapable of understanding.” There’s a reason we refer to “leaps of faith”—because the decision to consent to any notion of divinity is a mighty jump from the rational over to the unknowable, and I don’t care how diligently scholars of every religion will try to sit you down with their stacks of books and prove to you through scripture that their faith is indeed rational; it isn’t. If faith were rational, it wouldn’t be—by definition—faith. Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be . . . a prudent insurance policy.

Sesame Street nail art. Too bad I don’t paint my nails. For some reason, I don’t feel comfortable wearing nail polish. It’s like my nails can’t breathe.

Fun way to organize and display your accessories. I don’t have this much to display though. In fact I don’t think I have such.

Vintage bookmarks. I love those vintage charms. I love using them in my scrapbook pages, digital though.

Crochet. Trying to learn more about this craft. I think I need a personal tutorial. I am just not so good on following written instructions. :D

I love this backseat entertainment car seat organizer. This is perfect for keeping your kids’ stuff organized in the car. I need this. My son keeps on losing his toys and things, I am thinking if we should put a vehicle tracking device or something on his things so we can track them down. :D But this one might work. Now where can I get this?

Angry Birds.

That’s the theme of DS’ 7th birthday celebration he had on his lola’s house. I have to say that this is the most fab birthday he had to date. Yeah, this is fab by our standards! :D We ordered themed balloons and themed wooden stools for his giveaways. I normally make the giveaways myself (usually packed goodies), but this time we especially ordered Angry Birds wooden stools for him. And he had Angry Birds cake and cupcakes, too. Good thing the visitors were just relatives and they weren’t so many, so it didn’t cost us that much. I would have wanted to order funny t shirts for everyone, but I think that will be too much. So we just had DS wear an Angry Birds shirt on that day.

So Organized.

Posted by: alpha on Monday, April 30th, 2012

I love looking at various photos and images about organization. Makes me all hyped up to do my own decluttering. I will surely be doing a little organization and filtering of my craft supplies one of these days. I am going back to crossstitching and so I am going through my supplies and patterns again. I realized that the patters I used to like no longer appeal to me anymore. And so I have to let them go. I maybe scanning the rest as well so I will have less paper clutter around. Add to that the large bundle of threads I have in storage that I need to organize.

I have been looking for nice planters for our front yard. I plan to do a little gardening this summer. Our home badly needs some greens, both indoors and outdoors.

IG for Android. Finally! I’m still deciding if I should maintain an account. I already have one but it’s empty. Just using it to apply filters on the photos (and to stalk showbiz personalities once in a while. I know!) The filters are limited though. I wish they add more filters.

My current favorites: bibimbap and pajeon. Kimchi of course. And the spinach.

Emails and More.

Posted by: alpha on Monday, April 2nd, 2012

I can’t believe what a few days of not checking my emails can do to my inbox. My inbox is now filled to the brim. It would have been nice if most were legit emails. Some were from the stores I am subscribed to. And then there are some from Facebook. And of course, it will never be complete without spam and the likes. No wonder I have various emails in there from cigar specials to spam comment on my blogs.

Yo-yo.

Posted by: alpha on Monday, April 2nd, 2012

I never thought DS will be interested in skipping ropes and yoyos and jacks. I only got to realize that when we were preparing the loots on his pabitin. He just wouldn’t let go of those toys. Of course, I didn’t allow him to play with those as we need the toys for his pabitin. But he wanted so much the toys that during his party he just had to join the pabitin game to grab them. And grab them he did. So yeah, here I am browsing a yo yo store looking for something for DS.

Craving.

I am craving for Korean food, bibimbap in particular. Good thing I have some kimchi in the fridge, my food will have some Korean flavor. I wonder if DH needs to look for schuberth c3 helmet in the mall, maybe we can grab some Korean food. I am having asthma though, so even if I want to, I try not to go out as much as I need to take it easy. I guess I just have to be contented with my kimchi instead.

I Love.

With extra red beans and coffee jelly please. I would then freeze the leftovers for an icy cold treat later.
