Mommy Moments: Shoes

These are my kids shoes, most of them are given to them by doting aunts, grandparents, and godparents. As far as I can remember, I've only bought house slippers for them, and one sandals for Maegan. I got lucky there. I kept all of the gifts we received throughout occasions and they get to use them now. Honestly, the top shoes are the favorites of Maegan, but in reality it is still too big for her feet. She just enjoys running in them now and then since they light up and she's addicted to shoes that light up.
Paul's shoes are mostly gifts as well. When we go out, he picks out this pair of green shoes always. I think he feels comfortable in them whether he's wearing socks or not.

Becoming a YA

I've turned into a young adult once more. Have you heard of this series?

YA stands for Young Adult. I think I've reversed the hands of time and turned into one again. There is this series, which was about to debut last weekend that kept showing itself each time I tuned into AXN. The anime is based on a Manga of almost the same title and while I was flipping channels on the remote, I accidentally landed on Animax and the show was just starting.
Suffice to say, that I was blown away and shocked that I really liked it. Well, when I become obsessed, I become obsessed. So I had to ask the expert on young adulthood, my niece and learned that indeed I just caught the premiere and she's addicted too.

 No idea what I'm talking about?
It's the newest series of Animax, shown on Sundays at 8:30. Manila,Philippines Time.(GMT+8)
It's MAIDSAMA!

Student council president, Misaki Ayuzawa, works part-time at a maid café which contradicts with her ‘no-nonsense, tough-talking’ reputation at her high school dominated by males. When her secret is discovered by Takumi Usui – the most popular guy in school – she is bewildered when he keeps it a secret but this is merely the start of his merciless teasing of her...

 There's about 40+chapters of the manga, and it's just a new anime. I'm curious to how it ends. I feel as if I'm enjoying Hana Yori Dango all over again. I wouldn't mind if they turned this into a 'teleserye' or a tv series with human actors.

What about you? Have you seen this? Have you read it?

LettersThat I'll Never Send: Happy Easter!

Dear Reader,


I loved how the parish priest explained our celebration of Easter. Easter Sunday isn't about the bunny. Easter is the cornerstone, or the foundation of my Catholic religion. I can't recite verbatim what the priest said, but for Catholics, Easter is very important because it is the fact that the Lord has risen which makes him God, not a mere mortal, and that makes all the difference. So, to everyone, I hope you had a very meaningful Holy Week and that you had a great celebration on Easter. Personally, I think we should celebrate Easter more joyously than Christmas, but that's just an opinion.

I made me some blinkies!

Yep! You read that grammatically wrong sentence correctly!

I was just so happy. I got obsessing over something again, and I did it!

Of course, they are nothing compared to the goddesses of the design world Kaye and others.
I am a mere mortal, playing with my pc and trying to relax.
I can already see the design flaws of most of the ones I've made, but I'm still happy.

 and last, but my favorite of them all...

Since I'm into blinkies and playing around with my photos, I also thought that I'd share some of these as well.

These are collages that are easily made, all you have to do is upload your photos, and background paper if you have them and voila! Instant desktop wallpaper, plus you can specify your size. The program also actually recognizes the current size of your screen so no worries about that. In case, you're interested in creating your own photo collages, go to Photovisi and have fun! In case you do, come back and tell me, I'd love to see your creations from the site.
