it's great to be back

Has it been almost two weeks? Wow. There were so many times in the past two weeks that I wanted to blog about something, but I just couldn't seem to find the time. I'm glad I finally found some tonight, but my thoughts escape me, and now I don't know what to write about. Blogger's block? Hmmm.
*****
Let me start off by saying that I've started digiscrapping our wedding photos. I placed a link to my digiscraps in my right nav bar, or you could click
here. I've always loved the drama of black & white photos, and so I decided to stick to this theme for our wedding photos. I also did mention previously that I've been studying up on Adobe Photoshop, and selective coloring is something that just fascinated me. If you would notice in my wedding digiscraps, I use this style over and over again. And each time I use it, I just love how it turns out! I've so far just done four, but I'm working on another one now. I'm hoping that I can make my own storybook as well, aside from what I'm getting from Jong.
Pia was the one who gave me this idea. Hahaha!
*****The past week, I was in Makati for training. We had a guest from our regional office in Singapore, and he was here to train us on a new system we would be using. It was our guest's first time in Manila, and so we showed him around and took him shopping. You know, I always thought guys had just one way of shopping, and that is to go to one store, buy what they need, and get out. I realized this week though that there are guys out there that may be an even fussier shopper than I am. It's an interesting realization, and it's funny that when we're walking in the mall and I stop for a moment to look at some shoes, he would say "Let's keep in mind that we're shopping for me!" Hahahahahaha!
I know he won't be able to read this, but to this Singapore hottie (as he claims he is!), I'm glad we met and became friends.
*****Let's move a bit closer to home. June has come and gone, and our 6-month hiatus from baby-making has finally ended. Huwahooooo! Schmuck and I are playing it cool though. Although the "production line" is open, we're just going on a steady pace. If it happens, it happens. No pressures. We're giving ourselves the rest of the year to go on this steady pace. If nothing happens by year end, then that's the time we go full steam ahead. Hee!
*****I remember that
Mai had a post before on her blog, asking whether our hubbies read our blog. I answered no, but it seems I was wrong. Just recently, schmuck said that he read my
after a month post, and found it really funny. I was so surprised! That he read it, I mean. I remember that I asked him to read my blog before, but he just scoffed at me. Now he's reading it?! Oh well. He knows how psycho I am, so I don't think it matters. Haha!
*****Last weekend, I realized that I lost one stone on my wedding ring. Is that one of the crappiest things that can happen or what?! So for the past week, I haven't been wearing my wedding ring, for fear of losing another one of the diamonds. Obviously, for this to happen, it means that the setting wasn't made very well. The good thing about it is that I found the stone in my bag. Thank God! It was like finding a needle in the haystack! When I found it, I was jumping and shrieking all over the place.
Anyhoo, I'm now thinking of bring it to Matus instead, for the repair. I think I'm assured of better quality there. In the meantime, I only wear my engagement ring. I can also pass myself off as a single woman. Ngyahaha! Schmuck asked me if he could also not wear his wedding ring. Fat chance of that happening!
*****Schmuck is going to Malaysia. His flight leaves on Wednesday, and he'll be gone for three weeks. Three whole fucking weeks!!! I'm not used to Schmuck being away, even for what I know is a short period of time. I remember before when Schmuck had a trip to the US, and he was there for just two weeks. I cried like hell. Yeah, yeah, I know. Pathetic, right? I'm really such a wuss. But that's how I am. I'm now dreading sleeping alone in our big bed. *sigh*
