Gratitude Project 4

clockwise:Sweet Valentine gifts, childhood friends, simple and cheap snacks, art materials to decorate my photojournals and scrapbooks, the need to be unique and different from others, thus personalizing things, road trips and warm weather, available food when you forget to bring some on a road trip, good company.


Even if the Valentines has always been an issue with Erwin and I, he still made an effort to give me flowers, a teddy bear and some chocolate. I didn't like the idea of overpriced things just to celebrate this occasion, so i even actually chastised him for spending too much. After awhile, I did get to appreciate his gesture and now the bear lies by my side every night.  We also went to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte for Erwin's birthday celebration, we didn't do much but just being able to go that far in the company of good friends was enough.  We forgot to buy food for when we were there and was forced to buy overpriced snacks which weren't so enjoyable but still it was food for the tummy. The water was freezing cold when we got there so we weren't able to swim, only two of us swam and only for a while.  I'm also so grateful for trying to put art in my life. I'm not very good in it and not very creative in my opinion but I do like making things with my hands and playing with paper. Although most of them I just copy from others, I think there is always something that comes from within me that makes it mine. These are simple things but I thank God everyday for his blessings, for without His grace we would not be able to enjoy this things.

Summer DAys



Yesterday it rained here in Vigan. It seems the rainy season is here and yet I've only been to the beach twice and swam twice in swimming pools. The summer season seems to be passing by me fast and I haven't really enjoyed my favorite season.
The layout was my last beach trip with my friends. We had lots of fun swimming and teasing each other. How I wish to convey that energy in my layout. The pictures weren't that good too... but I wanted to scrap it nonetheless. So here's a tribute to my 2007 summer. Hope I could do more summery things before it ends and scrap it.

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
-- Eric Hoffer

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
