Every Friday morning (it’s my day off), I make sure that I cook some food for the family. Last Friday I cooked my mom’s signature dish bean sprout Ukoy, it’s a Filipino food wherein bean sprouts or togue is mixed with batter, shrimp, and spring onion, and then fried to look like a patty. It’s really yummy especially with vinegar.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to have a big house of my own with my family and parents with me. A house with a big living room where there’s a home theater seating with a large screen high definition TV, 4 high end computers on another room (1 for me, 1 for my hubby, 1 for baby Julie, and 1 for my little brother Joshua), then 3 big rooms (1 for my family, 1 for my parents and Joshua, and 1 for our maid), and I want to have a one-floor house to prevent accidents caused by stairs, and also becausemy parents are starting to have a hard time climbing up and down the stairs especially my mom. I also want to have a small swimming pool as well for exercise and family fun. =)

A lot of bloggers nowadays do a lot of digital scrapbooking or what is best known as “digiscap” in the blogosphere instead of the traditional scrapbooking. But why the sudden switch from the old “glue-ing the design on a big blank notebook” to “copy and pasting images to a new Photoshop file”? For one, traditional way of scrapbooking costs a lot of money and time. Ladies are now into the fast paced world where we all need to keep up and most of us don’t have the time to sit down and relax and enjoy a long day of cutting, trimming, glue-ing little pieces of paper, cartons, etc. So instead, most of us opt to go for the pre-made scrapbooking material, however you need to buy these on stores, which some of them costs a lot. But now, thanks to technology, we download these cute embellishments for free over the internet and create digital scrapbooks using softwares like Adobe Photoshop. It’s easier and doesn’t need to cost, although some site sells embellishments as well but those are the really good ones.
