Sponsor Flutter Happy in November

IMG_0329 Hello lovelies! ♥ I’m feeling kinda down right now. I’ll be going back to work tomorrow and I can’t help feeling that two months isn’t enough for my “vacation”. I quoted “vacation” because it’s never really intended to be that way at all. It was to be a 2-month recuperation period after surgery. It’s just like the feeling I got when I was a kid when summer has ended and every kid is going back to school. Have you ever felt that way, too?

Anyway, now will be the best time to call out for potential sponsors for November. I don’t charge for sponsorship. I only do ad swaps right now. So if you like what you see and your blog is somewhat like mine (family-friendly), and you’re up for ad-swapping, email me.

Also, don’t forget to join the ongoing giveaway for a chance to win a cute knitted headband by Whimsical Poppysmic! ♥♥♥ Have a great weekend! ;)

Where I’ve been – the New Israel

In two days, I’ll be going back to work. I’m so glad I was able to take a real vacation . At first I was worried about the internet – about whether I’m gonna still be able to check on my emails, and probably do some blogging. It turned out there was no blogging for me but I was able read everybody’s emails. Hmmm… I was thinking I would probably buy myself a netbook soon. It’s just now that I realize you can’t bring your desktop wherever you go! Then again, I really don’t go anywhere. The vacation was the first one I’ve taken for years! ;)

Okay, so where I’ve been? I’ve been to Mindanao – southern part of the Philippines! ♥ For a person who haven’t travelled much and has always been in the city, this was the perfect vacation ever! ;) We went to New Israel in Makilala, Kidapawan. And believe it or not, there are free running monkeys there!

This is their church. Looks colorful, isn’t it? When I asked the boy who showed us around what their religion is, he said something about the Alpha and Omega. I didn’t asked further. I googled about them when I got back home, apparently they’re part of a religious sect called Moncadista.

IMG_0895 We bought bananas at a cheap price. I know they’re from their backyard.

IMG_0895 That’s me. I had so much fun feeding the monkeys!!!

Parker Fitzgerald – Part 2

I can’t get enough of P.H. Fitgerald’s 365 polaroid quotes!

I’m still alive!

Hello again! ;) I just wanted to let you know that I’m still alive! It’s been three days but it seemed like forever! I’m still out of town. I can’t check my emails as much as I want to. Or read your blogs! So I will be suuupper behind on what’s going on in the blogosphere! ;( I would probably have a couple of thousands of unread articles in my reader by the time I will get back from my trip! Ugghh… Anyway, stay tuned for an upcoming giveaway! ♥ Don’t forget to follow my blog via GFC to stay updated! ;)

I got a new camera – Canon 550D

So yesterday, I got my camera!!! I’ve been waiting for this these past few weeks! Wooohhooo! ♥ Just in time for my trip tomorrow. What I’ve got is a Canon 550D from Ebay. Before deciding on what to buy, I researched more on the internet on what camera is perfect for me. I didn’t go to a store and hold the real thing before my final decision. I never held a 550D before in my life! And I think I’ve made a good decision. The 550D fits perfectly well in my small hands!

I took pictures, and had a bit of a problem with the blurry pictures at first. I was confused what I did wrong. I think I did all what the manual says! The instructions were so simple! It was only today that I found out that the lens that I attached wasn’t snugged (is that the right word for it?) enough, and had to remove it and attached it again. And voila! Here’s three pictures that I took of my dogs -Angel, Queenie, and Tootsie – at home. Yes, I’m a dog person. ♥


So, I’ve mentioned I’ll be going on a trip tomorrow and will be back on the 12th. So, probably I will not be blogging around much during those days. I’ll check emails probably when I have the time. I’m gonna miss blogging but I’m really hoping I’m going to enjoy the trip with my new camera more. Blogging will always be there when I get back. ♥♥♥
