HELLO WORLD =)

Just dropping by to say “Hello world…”  J

It’s another week of work tomorrow and the countdown begins. I have been trying to figure out what I really want to do with my blogging this weekend. Trying to choose whether to stay a blogger or migrate to wordpress. Hmmm… Tough decision for me. Many of the bloggers I know have already switched to wordpress or they are wordpress from the start. But somethings holding me back to stay, I don’t know what. Anyways, I’m giving myself until the end of the year to finally decide, just before I become 3 as a designer. Yay!!! It has been 3 years??? And I’m still a slow designer. LOL. Well, a lot of life-changing decisions will be done next year and I (we) have to prepare ourselves for these changes.

Since yesterday, I have also been busy updating my blog here. Changing the theme, layout, settings, etc. (CSS still confuse me a lot). Hahaha… For now, I’m happy with the look of my blog. Thank you to August Empress for the free chevron patterns for my blog background and Elegant Themes for the social icons I used. As for the blog header, I’m just satisfied. J

Before I end this post, here’s a little freebie for scrappers out there. I have already post this for the newsletter mailing list. So, if you’re an iscrap subscriber, you must have this already (check your stack before you download).

Got to go, my stiff neck is hurting more now than this morning. Got to rest first. 

Thank you for dropping by with here.

KUNG HEI FAT CHOY...

kung hei fat choy!

it's our (k & i) year... year of the dragon.

hoping for the best but whatever happen to us this year, good or bad, trials or blessings, God's will be done. He knows our hearts desires and He is good... as He has promised "He will never leave us nor forsake us". 

and because it's chinese new year, i am craving for tikoy... the plain round tikoy. ahhhhh... i even asked a friend who is having his vacation now in cebu to buy me a box. hahaha... i specially like the plain tikoy and not those tikoy with filling or flavors. when we were young, my parents would buy a box of plain tikoy once in a while then we slice the sticky tikoy in wedges then dip in a beaten egg ans then fry on a little oil until golden. ahhhhh... yummy while still hot. 

while i was browsing the net to look for a good place to buy tikoy in cebu, i stumbled upon noynoy's blog, cebu and davao journey, and guess what i found out other than tikoy? batchang!!! ahhhh... the more i got hungry and i began to crave for batchang as well. i just miss these chinese foods. my father buys us batchang most of the time after his work. these foods simply reminded me of a beautiful childhood when we were still living in manila. 

tikoy. lots of tikoy. but i still prefer the plain round tikoy.

batchang... yum

 cebu la fortuna bakery... i will definitely visit you come august this year (puhon3x).

happy chinese new year!!!
