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 appliance at the office. Took a whack at it and found the perfect measurements on my second try! I was giddily excited when I saw that it fit my hand that I actually screamed... and jumped up and down as best I could while still sitting on my bed, mind you. Haha. Right now, I have a couple or so of orders from former co-workers... so I'm working on those.

But will certainly try to post the pattern later. *crossing fingers* ^_^

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :( But the place was lovely. We arrived at the resort around noon. The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...

The Love Month

It's finally February! Wait. What am I saying!? I still have so many things to do and not enough time anymore to do them. Yikes! I'm so in trouble! Anyways, I have finally started to feel the need to move my butt from its state of flagellation and feel the urgency to start panicking... erm, packing, I mean. But first I have to finish organizing my things at home. (Wish me good luck on that one.) And I also have to ready some official papers and just stop sleeping late and waking up in the afternoon. *sigh* Moving on. Happy February, everyone! After the Chinese New Year, it will be "Chocolates and Roses" Day! So, Happy Valentines in advance, guys and gals! May you all have someone to hug (whether tangible or intangible :P) come the 14th.

Day 01 - The Wallflower

Unoriginal, I know. Anyhoo, I've been feeling sorta low and have been trying to find some purpose these days. Then I spied my trusty D40 and told myself, "What the heck! Move your behind and start exercising those forefingers!" And so here I am trying to accomplish just that. I hope I get to see this through. I rarely hang on to things now. I'm a veritable "rolling moss" the past year or so and I hope to really break that horrid habit. So I hope this will be the first of many. :D
