			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I didn’t know scrapbooking can be so addicting. I started creating scrapbooks using Gimp and Quick page, if you know how I work using my laptop I can only perform when there’s background music of different genres.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As much as I love to hear my daughter’s laughers and refer them as music to my ears, songs sung using some <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitar-strings/dean-markley">Dean Markley guitar strings</a> and organs are the most soothing music for me. I can find my artistic side functioning to no end when this music is being played.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/p480x480/432077_350053781695437_100000724540026_1130057_1261087007_n.jpg" alt="" width="393" height="288" /><br />
As a beginner in gimp and quick page, I love the results of my scrapbooking and it’s quite funny that I have a husband who makes me feel like I am the greatest artist already. My end products are like a combination of my music and artsy touch in one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I lost a very special part of my life when I lost you. I still can’t believe someone will steal a wedding ring up to now. But after praying the novena of St Anthony for lost things and there’s no sight of you anywhere, now I know I have to move on. I just wish that whoever stole it made the most of your value.</p>
<p>You will not be lost in my memory – you stick to me forever. Even if husband said we will just replace you with a new one, I am still uncertain. You are the apple of your eyes. Husband and I chose you from the rest and wanted you to be part of our forever. You aren’t only important because you are made of gold, I guess that is not the only reason why you are very special to me. You are the bond that reminds me everyday how much husband and I love each other every time I look at my finger. But now you aren’t there anymore. It is so sad, I miss you everyday but life has to go on. I know that there is reason for everything. I guess you are meant to be stolen for something I need to realize soon. I shall bid goodbye to you so I can somehow rest my mind from thinking. I didn’t know it’s this hard to lose a wedding ring. I am still hurting but I have to let you go. Good bye my wedding ring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very generous friend of mine gave me my first ever nine west bag on my birthday three years ago. That bag has been one of my favorite bags since then. And since it fits all my stuffs, I use it every day to work. The bag is a love. But it got a little stain in front and I blame it on the store I brought it for <a href="http://www.leatherworldtech.com/Departments/Restoration-and-Repair-Products.aspx">leather repair</a> when one of its straps had to be fixed.</p>
<p>Sad that the pretty brown bag has been tarnished in front and when I asked the repairman they denied that they did it, the strap has been fixed since then but the blot stayed as well. Sad coz even if I took care of it big time, some people didn’t gave the same value for its worth. More than the price of the bag, I love it because of its sentimental worth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wonder where <a href="http://www.flymode.com/">hip hop clothes</a> belong to which category of dress code? Here’s a short summary of the definition and difference of the three.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Formal wear</strong>, from the word formal is the clothing suitable for formal social events like wedding formal garden party, formal dinner, to a dance e.g. debutante cotillion etc. To the western style it is characterized by black and white garments. To others, formal wear are also the standard formal social dress.<br />
<strong><img class="aligncenter" src="http://nicefashion.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/formal-gowns.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="406" /><br />
Semi formal dresses</strong> are clothes worn during daytime weddings, in religious services, funerals, governments or schools. It goes in between the line where casual attire is not accepted and formal attire could be considered excessive.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://formal.dressesjuniors.net/files/2011/07/Semi-Formal-Dresses-For-Junoirs-1.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="444" /><br />
As others call it, <strong>smart casual</strong> is also business casual attire. It consists of slacks or skirts, a turtleneck blouse, fashionable belt, jacket or vest or sweater fashionably coordinated with the whole outfit.</p>

For one, the color should match your skin tone. If it doesn’t look right in the mirror, maybe there is really something wrong with it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On my daughter’s 4th birthday, her only wish was the Disney princess playhouse pop up tent we saw at the mall. So days before her birthday, we went back to the mall. I bought it secretly while she was busy looking around. She was clueless I already had her birthday gift wrapped while she was eating her snack.<br />
<a href="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/100_4914.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-693" title="100_4914" src="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/100_4914.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></a><br />
She was very surprised to see it and made it her companion the whole day of her birthday. In fact, she played with her cousins the whole day and they all enjoyed the play house! Since it’s pop up, it saves space when they are done playing. The downside, it doesn’t stand still the way you see it on display. Of course they don’t put that disadvantage on the product’s box or on their <a href="http://www.plasticprinters.com/businesscards/">business cards plastic</a>, but kids are kids and no matter how misaligned the tent looks, they still enjoy playing with it the whole time!<a href="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/100_4916.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-694" title="100_4916" src="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/100_4916.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I learned to do some collage through picture2life.com last night. Sometime ago I wish I can put one collage a picture of my two daughters and am thankful to my blogging friends for sharing the site.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My first try, a collage of my two daughters.<br />
<a href="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/picture2life_46566_original.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-686" title="picture2life_46566_original" src="http://artsyniko.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/picture2life_46566_original.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="266" /></a><br />
And a collage of my sister’s kids and mine.<br />

<p>I guess I am getting addicted to doing some collage as I have made one for husband’s family and mine. Let’s see if the addiction leads me on doing some collage on <a href="http://www.compacc.com/Zero-Gravity">zero gravity windscreens</a>. Will for sure upload the pictures here and on facebook.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My mother, who underwent two operations in November, is very extreme. She can be very outgoing and homebody at the same time. She’s busy helping our community and loves to watch teleseryes on her siesta time. After doing all her household chores and taking care of my father she would spend time with her cards. But I was worried when she was spending a lot of time playing solitaire months ago, that means she’s not feeling so well.</p>
<p>So she was hospitalized for almost two weeks in November that seems forever for her so she’s complaining she wanted to go home already. We needed to let her feel comfortable by some means. My brother who took care of her needs in the hospital brought my netbook so they can somehow play some games or black jack at <a href="http://www.planetblackjack.com/">Planetblackjack.com</a> that made their hospital stay memorable. I admit I don’t know how to play the game but since both of them are hooked, I think I need to learn the tricks too. It’s hard to be left behind. It’s good to see them bond after all the things we’re going through. It’s nice to know that my mother who loves to spend time with play cards learned to play games online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can’t recall when was the last time I created my New Year’s Resolution (NYR), I tend to ignore doing this list since I realize I only list down my NYR only to break them and it’s kinda shameful. But for a change, I will do my NYR for this year and am so hopeful to achieve them all.</p>
<p>1. Get fit and lose the excess fats by joining FUN RUN. Jog and do some exercise at least twice a week.<br />
2. Work Hard, BLOG HARDER.<br />
3. Say NO to impulsive shopping and buy first the NEEDS before the WANTS. (And the need for the moment is for a new <a href="http://www.foambymail.com/LTX6TLY-/talalay-latex-foam-mattress.html">latex mattress</a> for our pull out bed!)<br />
4. SAVE for the rainy days (or at least $50 a month!^_^).<br />
5. Laugh often, forgive easily and think positive thoughts all the time.</p>
<p>This NYR is in no particular order and i am hopeful I can make it happen this time. Happy 2012!</p>
