Washi Madness

I think I'm going crazy. Why? Because my recent posts have "craze" and "madness" on the titles. k! 

Now, I know you're convinced.

Forgive me, folks! 

Well here goes the the real story of this post.

As I have mentioned (did I?), I have been browsing to a lot of blogs as my way of destressing my brain. Unroutinary routine sucks, you know. So you see, I have been reading the candid blog of fleur, practical tips of michelle and informative ideas of manila mommy and ocmomimanila. They're all mom bloggers and I love how they share their life experiences in their blogs. 

They've introduced me to the tempting world of online shopping albeit my first step was just a mere php 395 purchase from hey kessy. The shipment took some time since i had it delivered to my place of work which is in Oriental Mindoro. But the washi tapes are worth the long wait because when i saw them, i fell in love!

my first bundle

I bought 3 rolls of random designs and these were how i initially used them.

Taped some on my ever reliable tosh

my bb's head band! i sliced a thin line so the sound will still be 100%

There you go, indeed, washi tapes are cute and irresistible! I do not have overflowing source of creative juices but for now, i just feel so happy seeing the tapes stacked in my table. 

I'm still thinking of ways how to make the most out of it. Will you help me?

Sketching

I am never into sketching but today just because the husband told me to do so.errrrr Surprisingly, I found doodling to be fun and relaxing!

Dear July

Dear July,

Im soo excited for you. The husband has laid out plans for you. He knows I want us to do fun things together and it's finally happening with you dear julie.:)

First off is the cousin's wedding somewhere somewhere. I love weddings! It gives me kilig moments as if the husband and I are remarrying for the nth time.haha The best part about it though is that it's another lame alibi to shop and spend:) baddmeee!

Next on the line is the fun run that we will both be joining. aha! I'm not a fan of running but definitely one of fun run. those two are waaaaaaayyyy different from each other. I hope you got my point.

Another one is a youthful date at star city. oh yeah, we'll work our cutie patooties coz it's gonna be our first time!

And of course, the last but not the least, these activities won't be fun if I were to experience it all by myself so again, as usual, vaultfiles, matic na, im soooo excited to spend time with the husband!:)

July, please hurry!

Love, 

tarrah

Follow Up on my Milk Tea Craze

I have mentioned earlier that i'll be switching from coffee-chocolate to a healthier milk tea morning drink. To jumstart, I went to Calapan City (the only city here in Oriental Mindoro) early this morning to buy a couple of boxes. But to my dismay....

good grief! Lipton milk tea hasn't reached Mindoro!huhuhuhuhuhuhu Poor me! I bought a big box of the classic lipton tea though but it's grassy taste is giving me the nerves, as expected. Darn.

I guess this is the perfect time to turn to the husband in my "buymeeeee" mode.:)

Joining the Milk Tea Craze

Milk tea craze has reached Philippines for so long yet I haven't caught the craze no matter how nice and creative it has been advertised by media. They say coffee is out and tea has replaced it since people have been conscious about health nowadays.

Just about yesterday, I talked to my mom about her current health condition and she said that she has to undergo a surgery. She could have gone through it right there and then but the doctor told her that she has to be cleared by her other doctors since she has history of having high blood sugar level.

At first, it didn't come to me that since she's my mom, i might have the same issues in the future until ze husband told me that i might be taking too much sugar (blame it to my turon cravings eeeeeerrrrrr). I love turon and maruja (banana fritters) and since they're so cheap for snacks, they have become my favorite afternoon delight. Aside from that, I have coffee-chocolate drink every morning so that would mean another source of tons and tons of sugar.nomnom

From there, I have decided that I have to got through another milestone (k?) in my life. I would replace my morning drink with tea. I am definitely not a fan of tea ever since but i'm thinking of living a healthier lifestyle so there goes me, ready to ride the tea bandwagon.

I have this impression that tea tastes bitter, grassy and anything weird so I'm thinking of taking milk tea first so the change wouldn't be too drastic.

The transition for sure wouldn't be that easy primarily because of the sudden change in taste but according to some articles I've read, my taste buds would eventually get used to the taste of tea and the bitterness would just turn into sweetness. Heaven!

I hope this would work out for me as it worked out for others.

P.S. im also thinking of mixing tea to my bathing water.:) 

Long Over Due Post

i miss uuuuuuuuu!

i just that it's been quite a while since my last post. i have been so busy writing. a have written a lot of articles. this and that but i didn't actually enjoyed it as much as i enjoy posting in this blog. what kept me busy is that im doing (oh yes, im doing it!)  a newsletter and i've been writing stuffs in tagalog. i died! errrrrr

the good thing about it is that i am also the one doing the layout thingy so i get to once again practice layouting and keep my creative juices flowing.:) it's just so good to redo things which i used to do back in high school when i was a member of the school organ.

that's it for now. i just came from a drinking sesh with fellow cavaliers and im darn tired from all day work+bubuweekend. wink wink

beeeeehapppeeeeeeeee!
