Presents, presents, and even more presents...

I love buying or making trinkets for friends and loved ones because I love being hedonistic that way. And when friends and loved ones return the favor, I love the habit all the more.

Let's see, these are all the presents I got for Christmas last year... that I haven't posted about yet. :P

I got this cute pink bunny(and a pink pen, which I haven't had time to photograph :P) from pretty Miss Sachi,

a tome from the charmingly lovely Miss Rachelle,

another tome from my lovely manita Miss Maris,

some oh-so-yummy brownies from Judo master Jen (The box here is actually empty. Couldn't stop myself, and my family from attacking it the minute I arrived home. Hehe.)

a box of sinfully scrumptious pastries from pretty Joan,

a cutie pen holder from bonita Kate... and a teeny bunny incense holder from Ley.

And then the previous months, my mom's presents arrived...

with loads of chocolate, of course!

And the latest are these cute makeup thingies from my lovely godmother (who incidentally looks a lot like my mom).

I adore presents.
And I adore the people who give them even more! (>_<)

Molto grazie! Danke schoen! Arigatou gozaimasu! Muchas gracias! Thanks a million!

Funny Day

This surprised me when I pressed "home" on my net browser. Strange, but cute. ^_^ Grazie, Google! I guess? And no, I still don't celebrate it. Haha!

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least. Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app... If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...

Knitted Fingerless Gloves

Just created my first ever knitting design -- cable-stitched fingerless gloves! Yay! Here's the short of it... I just resigned from my latest regular office job and am currently catching up on all the hobbies I've sorely missed when I was still frantic with ridiculously impossible quotas and tear-inducing deadlines. So, here I am... going back to my knitting, crocheting, reading, and telly-watching -- not to mention my blogging. Finished 5 books, caught up on my TV shows, and found all my crafting tools from my poorly organized box... just last month. Have also been able to get my lappie fixed and got most of my personal errands done... except for a couple or so. Not bad eh? But the thing I'm most proud of accomplishing lately is that I finally got to create my own knitting pattern design... something that actually required more than plain straight lines. Hehe. Et voila! Got the idea from a friend who was suffering from an over-enthusiastic air conditioning applia...
