Signs and Switches

I can see signs of fall everywhere lately....

thru these clouds getting darker and darker since Thursday....

cravings for "hot and sour soup".....

The Saigon Garden, Vietnamese Restaurant in Parksville is one of our pride here in town. If you are grabbing a quick lunch, it's a go-to-place but you have to be there before noon to avoid the crowd. It fills up fast for office workers and families alike. Dinner is usually early since they close as early as 7pm. They have the best soup, "sweet and sour" with lemon grass which you can get in "combo" or "prawns" with vermicelli, my favorite.

back to school, back to Learning New Things, like this one....

with Shimelle, all is new. She's been teaching on-line classes for years but I joined this one just last year. I am aiming to finish this book and hope to do a daily post here this September. The transition from sunny days to this cloudy weather would do me good with an inspirational class like this. Come and join us, I promise you nothing but FUN and inspiration.

and I'm excited about this new class too....

with Cathy Zeilske, another one of my fave instructors and my first this year on this class, ME-The Abridged Version. And because September is a special month, it's my special gift to myself.....I can hear myself singing September morn, dadadadada.....is a brand new day....lalalalalalalala......and everytime, for the last three years, at least a week before it starts, I get into a panicky mode, filled with excitement, less sleep like right now, I've been up since 4 this morning. Can you tell?

....in romantic way, September morning makes me feel that way.....bec this one is our
THIRD YR. ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to scream at you but can you feel the energy? And his birthday too, my honey! hmm.....

good endings.... remember the Beach Fest? the summer heat?

It's officially over-

for the fest, and last night was the 2nd weekend that we had a display of fireworks to say farewell...

new beginnings.....

here's me, right now, looking like this, 5 days a week, 6 hours a day every single day: putting a smile in front of everybody else; sometimes you can call it just playing my role at work but I'd like to think it's genuine for the most part. Changes? not much. Ageing? it's getting there and another year is almost over again. All I want to start this new month? A really good stylish haircut, relaxing facial, pedicure and manicure. Dreamin...

Weekend Online Crop

Shimelle's doing it again!

I wish I can just stay home and stay in my craft room all day.

I wish I can crack open my boxes and make more mess in what is already a pile of mess on my desk.

I wish I can use up all my new pretty papers and glue all the photos I have on file.

I wish I can print all the photos we've taken during our fun, fun, summer fest on the weekend.

I wish I can post more scrappy works here to share with you although you are hardly paying attention.

I wish I can do all the challenges offered right now for free on line.

But for now, here's my post for this challenge and I'd say this would be one of the last flowers that will bloom this summer in our garden this year.....

and this one which used to be a small stem that my honey saved from a hanging basket.....

just placed it in front of me this morning while I'm typing this post. And last but not the least, our first beets and we ate the beettops we harvested last night from the green house. Yummy! with vinegar.....

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Guess who came to visit us????

Yup! Christie and Ryan made it to the Island this Sunday-- yoo hoo! Isn't she lovely? I just love how pretty she looks like with her pregnancy. They both look like they are so ready to be mommy and daddy for the first time. Congratulations guys and congrats to Al and Linda for their very first grandchild! Does that mean my honey is going to be a grandaddy too? Or should we call it great uncle Kevy and great auntie Nancy?

After spending some time with grandma Iris, we managed to take a walk to the beach and watch the car show but most interestingly, some dogs like these ones....

On the other note, since this weekend is our last weekend on Shimelle's Photoshop tutorial, thought I'd give the last Saturday's lesson a try on that photo. I will miss this class. I'd say this is my most favorite by far among all Shimelle's classes I've taken. For those who are interested, you can actually sign-up at anytime, do it at your own pace, and you can get access on the class site forever. Here's my vintage version of the class:

I made this today specially for my family back home. Roses from my garden: To Arnel and Jojo, to ma and tang, and to my little sister, Grace and to Dan, who have done so much over the challenging times, I can't tell you how much I am thinking about you and how much I miss you. I really wish I am there with you right now to celebrate your homecoming, to be there for you for support and if it's any consolation for you all, I really hope to be home as promised. So promise me too that you'll stay healthy and happy. Keep the faith and love to each other. Keep strong and everything will be alright.

.... TO SMILE!

Hello Friday!

Thank God it's Friday! One of those days that I'm getting excited to go to work is because today is the LAUNCH for TELUS in Canada of the New IPhone4. A lot of people have been waiting for this but because of some challenges that Apple has been having with the new phone, the wait seemed to be longer for Canadians to get their hands on this most controversial new release of Apple.

So here it is.... I was contemplating on getting myself one. One feature that's intriguing me most about it is the 5MP Camera. Since I have been using my BB Tour a lot on random shots, thought this would be a better camera for that. If the 3GS could load Hipstamatic, I bet there are more fab apps to do with this new network. Hmmm..... decisions, decisions.....

ON the other side of the world, I mean our corner of the world, long weekend is coming up! Yoo hoo! that means another 2 days off in a row. Well, that becasue I'm working Saturday too. No plans yet but I have this itching sensation of getting some house chores done since Johnson's Fest is coming up too. Oh No! Another exciting part of my scrap world is this new class I'm getting into next week.

So Kelly Purkey has done it again! It's nice to have one class after another and because I like taking Shimelle's, I know I'm going to miss her daily prompts so badly. Have a great weekend everyone.
