Blast From the Past: June 25, 2011

Since I am definitely behind in updating this blog, I have decided on writing a few entries here and there titled: Blast From the Past.  And each entry will feature an event or occasion that happened (in my life) that I feel like blogging about.  This "event" could have happened months ago, years, ago... whatever! :)

Honestly, these entries will probably be more of a photo dump than an actual entry itself.  LOL.

Today's Blast From the Past will be about the night of  June 25, 2011.  I chose to blog about this night first because it was the first outing where I actually used my then-brand-new Panasonic Lumix GF2 camera.  :)

The husband and I had a double date with my best friend, Carla, and her boyfriend, Lowell.  First, we went bowling at 34th Lane, then we went to Fayrooz Cafe and Lounge to do some hookah!  (This was my second time going to that hookah bar... The first time was on another double date with another couple.)  Anyway, they actually had a belly dancer! I wish I took a picture of her but I wasn't sure if I was allowed... Plus, I was too busy watching her dance! LOL.

Well, on to the photo dump... These are just some of the pictures we took.

(Photos taken with my Panasonic Lumix GF2.)

Our colorful bowling balls... Mine was the pink one. Obviously. LOL.

I had a lot of fun that night... I can't wait to until we go to a hookah bar again. :)

Well, back to my knitting/crocheting.  I'm in the middle of developing an idea...

So... with my husband and family's insistence, I had relaunched my online store:

For the last couple of weeks, I've been busy filling orders, trying to get it to my customers in time for the holidays.  I would usually do this after I get home from my full time job, which means I am sleep deprived! I have averaged about 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night!  Thank God I have a very supportive husband. :)

Anyway, I should really get back to my orders... Maybe I'll take a break later and blog again. :)

I really need to start organizing my wedding pictures. I am such a slacker.

Recent Knitted/Crocheted Projects...

Some projects I've finished recently.  There are more but I have yet to take photos of them...

Beanie with ear flaps (Knitted)

Beanie with ear flaps (Knit & Crochet Combo - but mostly knitted)
This one was inspired by the flag of the Philippines. (Sorry for the quality of this picture...)

Donatello "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Convertible Beanie (Knit & Crochet Combo)
The eye mask is attached (sewn on) to the beanie. This can be worn as a TMNT Donatello beanie, or if you flip the eye mask down, as a Donatello mask!
(Available for sale at www.charmed.etsy.com)

So I went to see "The Three Musketeers" a couple of weekends ago with the husband, my siblings, and friends... Orlando Bloom is so effin' dreamy! A few years back in my old blog (Hello my fellow Xanga heads!), I used to talk about how in love (obsessed?) I was with Orlando Bloom.  It got so bad and I knew that I had to stop... So I quit cold turkey.  I made a conscious effort to stop watching his movies.  I would change the channel if one of his movies happen to be on.  And I was successful... or so I thought...

I love him... *Sigh*

What do I need to do to get over this crush?

Nail Polish Review (Shatter, Crackle, Graffiti) - Revisited.

Hello. Nice to see you all again... :)

Anyway, I just want to write a quick blog about my last post (click here).  I just want to take back what I said about the Sally Hansen Crackle.  I must have gotten a bad batch that time I went to Walgreens.  A few weeks ago, I was in CVS and I decided to once again try the Crackle nail polish... Guess what? It worked this time!  Yay!

So again, I take back what I said. If you want to get the Sally Hansen Crackle, go for it! But maybe you should try it first (right there in the store) before buying it? Just to make sure you don't get a bad batch like I did...  LOL.
