Wordless Wednesday #19

A photo of DS and DH busy repairing to what seems like a playtime (pretend play lol!) to me. This was taken at the back of our home. Where was I? I was busy conversing with a friend about this acne treatment she recently uses. We were also busy talking about another beauty product which seems to me like a miracle product. Will talk about that on my beauty blog.

DS loves to do whatever his dad does. I wonder if he'd be still willing to help around on his teens.
Happy Wednesday!

Daydreaming is G-O-O-D.

My friend and I were talking just a few minutes ago if it's worth it to sell my purse who happened to be in my hubby's nightmare! The nightmare was so bad, I had to sell the bag on Ebay. Then we went on with our dreams and its interpretation until we chance upon this.

Yes peeps, daydreaming is very very healthy :).

Just as your worrisome daydreams can unwittingly come true via repetition in your mind, you can use it as a tool to your advantage and make positive events happen. You can utilize daydreams as a technique to visualize what you want and hope to happen. It is said that many athletes, musicians and business leaders utilize daydreams to envision success. They anticipate or imagine landing the perfect jump, closing a deal, or making that hit single. Tiger Woods, for one, has said to use daydreams to improve his golf game... Dreammoods.net.

tomorrow.

I will on a one-on-one meeting with the dean tomorrow. To be honest, I am quite nervous about it. I know that we will just have to plan how to complete the rest of my Master's degree but the secretary said about five of us who are candidate for honors (*insert blush) were called for a one-on-one meeting. I hope it's nothing really to be worried about. Anyways, as I was telling a friend that I am to complete my master's degree by end of this year or early next year, she was inspired to further her education as well. Although I told her that I enjoyed both online and on-campus classes, she chose to get an online degree because of her hectic schedule. I am just so happy that she is pursuing this path.

purple illusion

Do you have the habit of saving or bookmarking as many sites and ideas as you can in your PC or laptop? I do that and I would usually show it to hubby when he gets home. He is the one who is into home decorating and his imaginations can go wild when he thinks about our future home.

Anyways, here's sharing some of the photos I saved. All of these photos were swiped from Decorology.blogspot.com and desiretoinspire.blogspot.com. I call them my purple illusion and inspiration :).

a tribute.

Before I get busy again and research on this rv finance site, let me devote this entry to a true legend and an icon who will forever leave a mark in our hearts and history. Thank you MJ for the wonderful music and for being an inspiration.

"Speechless"

Your love is magical, that's how I feel. But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion. But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feelBut I am speechless, speechless That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real.
When I'm with you I am lost for words, I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless, that's how I feel inside
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side
When I'm with you I am in the light where I cannot be found
It's as though I am standing in the place called Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real
I'll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I cannot climb
I'm humbled in your grace. Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am far away, and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real
SpeechlessYour love is magical, that's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words. Words like, "I love you."

White.

If I could maintain a house without having to be very cranky because of the cleanliness, I want a White-themed house. Truly I find anything white very elegant. But of course, it could get very difficult to maintain a house this white! I mean regular families make mess at home right. So I would just day dream of this house because I would choose a happy family over my dream white home :) Image from HERE.

boys will be boys.

Boys will be boys. Men will never get tired playing things they love playing as a kid. As a matter of fact, right now, hubby is busy building my son's lego and jovotoys. Whenever they shop for our son's toys, I think hubby is the one actually enjoying the shopping and playing hee hee. Other than our kids toys, he also wanted to get some airsoft gear from Zephyrairsoft.com. We used to play paintballs back in Manila but we have not gotten the chance to play it here. Hmmm, we'll see on my school vacation. I wonder if there are any paintball area here in our place.

Photography Quotes

Snagged this from Kathy who takes very good photos :). I think photography is just one of our hobbies and one of the reasons why we have hit it off. We would upload as many of our photos on our Flickr accounts and exchange comments. Anyways, check out these wonderful quotes.

Maybe because it's entirely an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools.
Ken Rockwell

By knowing a person, you know yourself. You become the person you photograph. You love that person as you love yourself. ~Anonymous

... a simple "love you."
-missy

“Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.”
-Sam Abell

You don't take a photograph, you make it.
-Ansel Adams

You don't take a photograph. You ask quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
Ernst Haas

"There are two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer." ~Ansel Adams

"A photograph taken today is a lifetime of yesterdays preserved for all the tomorrows." - author unknown

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams

"Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in Life." Vincent Van Gogh

creativity.

Hubby's cousin is about to get married in August. I am tasked to do the make up for the bride. While I am nervous about the idea since it has been awhile since my last bridal make-up, I am also excited about it. The couple originally wanted some destination weddings but since they are both young and the wedding will mostly be funded by their parents, they followed what their parents wanted. The traditional indoor wedding. However, ther were both very creative in coming up with a beach-themed wedding. So despite the fact that it would be held indoors, the guests would still feel that they are on a beach wedding.

organize 'em under the stairs.

As I have mentioned before, hubby and I are making some minor improvements and enhancements on our 2-storey town home. This is because my folks and siblings are coming to visit us in fall until around the New Year. Of course, we always visit DesiretoInspire.com for some inspirations and look what we've seen just a few minutes ago :). Love love this, it would be perfect for our stairs as well.

To read more on this nice organizers under the stairs, check the rest of the entry HERE.

on stocks option.

I was telling a friend awhile ago that when it comes to numbers and mathematics in general, I certainly have a hard time comprehending this subject matter. In fact, when we discussed stock options trading in my economics class, I had to stay and have a one on one session with some classmates and the professor so they could discuss it further. Anyways, hubby who has exposure on this matter because of his line of work and his bachelor's degree has been very patient discussing matters on stocks option and trading to me. He even referred me to a site called PowerOpt.com where I have been learning some basic knowledge on stocks trading. You might want to visit the site as well.
