First Layouts!!!

Finally, I already have the guts to share & post here my scrapbookings layouts!!!....From the start, its really my hobby to design my magnetic album, with cut outs gift wrap, letters...Until I found the site of Scrapbook-Exchange in the Goodhousekeeping magazine. I login & register right away...As what I read in the post...the group members are very warm...I learn so many things from them, mostly from Pia Lopez which is nearer to Silang, Cavite where I stayed before. She & Jeff was very nice to us (me &hubby)....She give me tips where & what scrapbooking stuffs to buy for a newbie. Because, I don't have any idea about acid-free...only when I become a member of SE... My first layouts (both 8x11 & 12x12) are scraplifted my from my first magazine, Scrapbooking & Beyond and Memories.... All my firt lo's are for my babies Jayvee & Arryanne...

Summer class at Playhouse & Bright Academy!!!

The school!!!

Jayvee & Arryanne!!!

Saturday, March 22, 2007...my babie sattend a 3 Saturday summer class for the first time...It was held at Playhouse & Bright Academy, Banilad Cebu. The class starts at 2:00 pm & ends at 4:00pm. We decided to enroll them for them to enjoy.

Jayvee's first choice was swimming, under coach Nina Dumasis. As expected, he didn't join the class...because he is shy, he wears his swimming attire already. So we transfered him to another class..Reading & Penmanship under Teacher Star since he's 2nd choice Arts & Crafts are already full. Still shy in his new class..to the extent that his dad stay in the room throughout the 2 hour session...

Arryanne was in a Playgroup class, under Teacher Elena...She enjoyed her class, participate the activity. Since it's their first time. Von & I were very excited, mostly to Arryanne.

I'm Happy!!!

Happy because von was back home from a 3 day trip to Manila for a meeting. He stayed in our house in Silang Cavite. He have a meeting at San Fernando, Pampanga..another company's plant. He bought toys for his children. He brought some things i needed most here. A stuff from his cousin, te itchie!!!

Happy beacuse i finally got my order glue (UHU twist & glue) from Liza Bermudez. He pick it up from Pia Lopez house since he stay in Silang quite near from Dasmarinas, Cavite. and most of all......

Happy because of the papers given by Pia Lopez!!!! Thank you, thank you & thank you Pia & Jeff. Your such a nice friend!!! From the start i found the group, your always their to support, advise me in this passion.

Jayvee's Recognition...

Pinning of the ribbon( Jayvee's academic award--Best in MAth)

Yesterday, March 22, 2007. Saint Monica School, Guizo Mandaue held its first recognition day. Jayvee transferred there only last December 2006. We dont expect any honors & awards because we are aware that he was only a transfer student. But during their final exam last March 12 & 13, he perfect the exam...So by the result the school give him an academic award...Best In Math!!! Since, Von give him a deal that once he got a good result from the exam, he will give him a Transformer toy.. He answered his Dad that he will!!! Without expecting anything..not just a high score he give but with a bonus of being a Best in Math. We're very happy & we give him his price. Von bought it from SM Dasmarinas coz, there's no available here.

Bumble Bee transformer--Jayvees price!!!

As expected of his being so shy....he didn't participate their presentation. He didn't march if I'm not joining. During the awarding, he went to the stage since the parents should accompany the child. On the stage, he almost cover his face. Von was not able to attend that day, he have to go to Manila to attend a meeting at San Fernando Pampanga. He miss the event so much. He did'nt witness how his son show his over shyness.

Flu Vaccine for Jayvee & Arryanne!!!

We all know that vaccine was very important to everybody mostly children...Last Saturday, Match 10, 2007, my babies Jayvee ( 5 yrs & 6mos) & Arryanne ( 3yrs & 10 mos) was scheduled for a Flu vaccine. We left at home by 9:00am & take a cab to Perpetual Succour Hosp. The clinic hours was 9-12am. As we arrived there, the doc was not in the clinic yet...we're the 2nd patient. As the doc arrived , we 're ( doc & I) laughing coz Jayvee will cry again...as in cry do the extend na nagwawala na.
Arryanne was the first given a shot...she's very brave you can only hear her says "aayyy" & a quick cry. Then its Jayvee's turn, as we expected...he cries so much...there were three of us ( daddy, me & secretary) who hold him...He's very angry after coz it hurts him so much daw...LOL...They was given their shot in their right arm...
They was scheduled again for another shot for Flu Vaccine on April 21, 2000. A month after the first dose was given.

Valentines 2006!!!

Febuary is always a special & memorable month for me. During this month way back year 2000, hubby and I met and it start for a wonderful relationship. This year, would be my unforgettable valentines since i got married. Maybe because, it's the first time we're not together in this day, Von have a plant audit at Rosario, Cavite.

Aside of being the month we first met....Febuary also was my hubby's birthday to be exact...Febuary 8. As a birthday present i made a layout for him....Photos are taken as we start our relationship..

Begin the Journey!!!

And most of all, because of my passion in scrapbooking which is he is very supportive. He just watching me carry my stuff everywhere in the house to scrap. Finally, before leaving to Manila he buy me a scrap table as a gift for valentines. It has a closed cabinet with layers and built in light, but still i have another light to be more brighter...Of course big smile syempre & very thankful at last naawa din... hehehe!!!!

Follows are photos of the scrap table:

Christmas 2006!!!

My family before going to cebu port for our trip to Ormoc, Leyte !!!

After 16 years since we move to Manila for our studies.My family are going to celebrate christmas in our province in Leyte. Since we're staying in Cebu now & a bit nearer to Ormoc, 3 to 4 hours by ship. December 23 my children are all excited our trip, they want to see thier papa & mama ( grandparents), & cousins.

With my family in Leyte, christmas 2006!!!

My parents opening their gifts!!!

My parents prepare a christmas party Dec 25 with our kababayans living in our lot. They decided to celebrate it with them bec my parents wants to share them blessings we have throughout the years. And its a thanksgiving & a reunion in our family because it's the first christmas after my father retired from being a mariner, a first christmas also in my parents renovated house after they decided to stay again in the province since we finished college already & three of us are married.
The party started a thanksgiving mass, I'm the one who reads the readings during the mass, and of course its cebuano....I read it difficulty & didn't understand what i read ( sobra kakahiya ang daming tao). During the mass we got the news about the Ormoc tragedy. My bestfriend since preschool was died in the Unitop fire...Then dinner follows, game, raffles, presentation by groups & dance party....All of us are all happy.

After celebrating chrismas & new year in Leyte...We go back home(in cebu), January 1,2007, 11:00 am via Roble Shipping...We arrived home around 5:00pm same day ( jan 1,2007). Both Von & I was very shocked coz the main door was blocked by galvanized steel roof. Since, he cant open the door, he talk to the caretaker what happened to our aparttment. Sad to hear the caretaker testimonial...our house was robbed around 3:00 am, after New Years Eve according to our neighbors coz they fell asleep around 1:00-2:00 am.

Photos follow when our house was robbed, January 1, 2007...
