Photoshop in action

I tried some actions in photoshop which i saw in the internet. If you like actions just google "photoshop actions" and will give you lots of list to download. You can also make your own action in Photoshop and will save your time for editing and resizing your batch of photos. Try it and have some fun.

What i did last Christmas

It was not white Christmas as the people waited the snow to fall. But still how we spend our Christmas eve was simple and had little fun lalo na sa pagbibigayan ng regalo. Attended a Filipino mass and went to a friend's house at dun kami nagsalu-salo ng munting noche buena. And during exchanging gifts, the priest's topic in his sermon popped into my mind. As the priest said in his topic, Christmas is not only about Santa Claus and giving extravagant gifts. We should not forget the Christmas story that Jesus Christ was born in a barn and laid in a manger. We are in a modern technolgy wherein we experience all the comfort in life, kaya siguro nakakalimutan natin ito. And it is already an instict that during Christmas, it is the time to buy expensive gifts for our love ones just because Christmas is special. Simple lang ang gustong ipaabot ng sermon ng pari. Our dear Jesus loves us so much that He wants this love to spread to all of us. Love and forgiveness is the best gift to give and to receive.

On the 25th, just stayed at home. Called family in the Philippines and promised them that next year, will try to go home and spend Christmas with them. Iba talaga ang pasko sa atin. I miss spending Christmas holiday in my hometown.






PRAYING FOR A PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS 2009!

Days before Christmas

I've been busy these last few weeks, like anybody else. I'll just post a quick update:

* prepared and hanged Christmas decors.
* made a list, shopped for gifts, wrapped it (hindi lang yung basta shopping na pag may nakita, grab it na. Have to see if it's worth and if it fits the budget)
* worked, work and working (two weeks night shifts, and a week day shift. A week vacation after Christmas....at last!)
* partying (sunod-sunod namang talaga ang christmas parties, at ang hindi mawala-walang birthday parties, sumisingit pa din)
* doing house chores (di po uso ang maid dito kaya all around tayo)
* sending greeting cards (thanks to electronic mails)

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :)!!!

New Look

I got my hair cut. It was long time ago since i got my hair too short. I was used with long hair. Nakakasawa din pala. I tried this time to cut it short. Nag-iiba nga palang talaga ang aura mo kapag napapalitan ang style ng buhok. Honestly when i had still my long hair,i was afraid to cut it short. Afraid na baka hindi bumagay, mahirap magpahaba. Hair extension is so expensive, lalo na dito. Kaya lagi kong iniisip, magpagupit man ako yung hindi masyadong mahaba ang puputulin but this time it was bahala na. Iniisip ko madali namang humaba at sa panahon ngayon lagi naman akong may bonet kasi nga malamig. So it will not be a big deal kung masyadong maigsi. In a month or two hahaba din yun. Yun nga lang parang hindi appropriate sa weather ang buhok ko kasi kung kelan pa tag-lamig dun pa ako nag-paigsi ng buhok.

Emoticons

I like putting smilies on my emails, or while chatting or texting (through smiley codes). It expresses what i feel. It's quite dull when there are no emotions come through your words. Thanks for these emoticons that give expressions in what I type. And thanks that it is also enabled in blogging. Here are few standard smilies that are supported. I just hope it will also support more smilies in the future. Keep smiling!

:) :( :P :D :$ ;)

I went into shopping yesterday. I'm really not in moods to shop during winter but i have to because my winter wardrobe is in "crisis". Not that i am updating it because i want in-mode ones (mine is not out of mode naman :)) but because of its sizes. Yes, my dear i gained weight. And i love it. I gained more than 5 kilos and ask me not why i love it. I was hoping this for years and now it just happened. And again...LAVEEET :D. Back into shopping... for more than xxx of trying and long time of waiting to fitting rooms plus the clothes i wore (thick pully, thick jacket, boots) and heated stores (that's why i hate winter), i only ended up in a pair of jeans. Will find time next week to buy Christmas gifts.

A soulful relationship

If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married,
share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open,
and after you marry, close one eye."

Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.

Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws,
vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.

Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you
bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.

If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you
won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a relationship strong?

Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household
tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily
exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note).

Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email.

Sharing common goals and interests. Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless.

Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.

The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the i.
