Sunday Stealing: The Seven Deadly Sins

Today we ripped off a bloggernamed and blog named Mignight Murdina of the blog Not All That Wander Are Lost. It is stated that it was “ganked” from Karaokegal. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time.

Monday Mayhem #3 - Stupid Questions

Welcome again to Monday Mayhem.

Today we are asked stupid questions to the World Wide Buzz.

1. How and why does one become a modern day pirate?

A modern day pirate is a virtual pirate. That is when one loves torrent files and thinks of it as a normal thing to do.

2. What would happen if a government actually balanced its budget? Could it actually ever happen?

A government’s budget will never be balanced because there are certain agencies that are of very important priority.

3. What do you think of this "Royal Wedding" stuff?

It’s not called ROYAL if I am not there. Seriously, it’s grand and all but come to think of it, I used to have the hots for Will when I was in high school and I always thought of Harry as ugly. But now, woooo! The world is round! Harry’s the hotter prince and Will? Kate can have him all the time. I mean his hairline is receding and he looks very stressed lately. Prolly because of the wedding preps though.

4. Is Gaga really a Madonna-wanna-be? Or is she her own phenomena?

Gaga’s a toss between Bjork and Madonna. They’re all crazy people. But very talented too.

5. What do swimsuits actually have to do with a Sports Magazine?

Because swimsuits actually motivate men to work hard for that abs.

6. What is the stupidest thing you witnessed this past week?

Who’s that silly girl in American Idol who always cries whether a good thing or a bad thing happens to her? Well, she got through the eliminations and that made me zonked! I’m like, WHAAAAAAT!?!

7. What is an "Ugly American"? Are they really uglier than other people?

An Ugly American for me is the one who does not do what a noble and good American should do. Someone who’s rude and condescending.

8. If you could name your new virtual pet anything you wanted to, what would you name it?

I’ll name her Missaianaveyrambularifficatiousweetnesssgracious or Missy for short

9. Is winter (or whatever season you are in at the moment) really over? How would you even know?

I’m from the Philippines so it’s always sunny. Never over. Ever.

10. Make up a new word to replace any 'four letter word' and share it with us in a sentence so we can use it too. You don't have to tell us what the 'four letter word is'. We can guess it.

Fairypoo. I should have strangled that fairypooing guy!

Hitting 5 Birds in One Stone

Yes, you can make your own bundle! I was bored this morning so I went to DST and tried to read some threads there when I realized that I haven't used Mah's (Dream's Place Atelier) coupon from which I won as one of the posters in the 1000th page of this thread. So I checked on Mah's Store at Digiscrappers Brasil and I found a great loot to boot! I grabbed the bag and proceeded to the checkout counter and voila! I got 5 kits for the price of one but then I got it for free! I am so delighted with this deal and I am beginning to love DSB too. So what are you waiting for? Go there at DSB and grab this bag from Dream's Place Atelier. This promo is only up for a limited time so hurry!

Mouse-less No More!

My friend's dad arrived from UK a few days ago so I was able to get my purchases from Ebay(UK) last January. I bought myself a mouse among others and I got this TRUST Slimline Wireless Mouse 16339 for GBP 16.94. The mouse looks cute but for someone who got used at manipulating a bulky and comfortable mouse, I did not like it. But I am going to give it another try before I am going to resell this on Ebay(Philippines) and I will just get a new one that is more comfortable even though it will be bulky. The functions of the mouse is awesome though, and the packaging is great. But as I have said, using it is uncomfortable where I always feel I'll have a carpal tunnel syndrome.

Aside from the mouse, I also bought a Uniross Express Mini Charger.

I had to buy this one because the cable of our 6 year old Kodak charger is missing and I am very impatient with looking for lost stuffs. I think I had a good deal with this because it comes with 6 AA batteries aside from the 2 AAA batteries for FREE! Oh I know I am such a freeloader, haha! Anyway, what good does this event in my life? I can only think of one thing: scrap more pages. You have to admit, scrapping without a mouse is hellish.

Monday Mayhem #2 - The Valentine's Meme

Happy Valentine’s Day my dear friends! What are your plans for today? As for me, I will be with my kids, as usual, and if laziness will not creep in to me later this day, we will probably go out for a dinner.

In honor of Valentines Day, today's meme is all about the things that we love. For each prompt, name something you love.

1. Name a food that you love.

Anything pasta. May it be lasagna, fetuccine bolognese, carbonara, name it!

2. Name someone that you love.

If it has nothing to do with romantic love then I say that I love my kids and I don’t have to explain why. BUT, if this question is pertaining to a romantic involvement, my answer would be Chris Pine. He’s the apple of my eye.

3. What kinds of ice cream do you love?

I like pistachio, mint chocolate, or brownie nut fudge.

4. What would you love to receive for Valentine’s Day?

A massage gift certificate would be nice. J A romantic getaway for two with Chris Pine will really blow me away!

5. What meal would you just love to eat for dinner?

For appetizer, pigs in blanket or pesto bites would do fine. Glazed lamb is great as a main course! And for dessert, the very best chocolate lava in town. Served with wine of course.

6. What is something that you learned to love?

I kind of learned to love myself more now. It’s quite scary for a moment because when I embraced myself and my whole being I started to be skeptical of other people and romantic love.

7. Tell us something that we would love.

I have a confession to make. I am a princess. However, I am a tranny. You can call me a Princess Tranny.

8. What is your definition of love?

Love is not overrated; people just abuse its purpose. It is a mysterious thing that makes people do outrageous acts.

9. What is it that you love more than anything?

I love being a mom even though I am not a perfect one and I have my lapses. Seeing my twins giggle so hard because of their eldest brother is a 7th heaven for me. And receiving a hug and hearing compliments like, “Mom you are beautiful and sexy” even though I know they’re only half meant gives me a certain high that is capable of melting my heart.

10. Name a Monday Meme that you love.

This is the only Monday Meme that I have done so I will be biased.

11.Would you love to write a Monday Mayhem?

If the price is right, why not?! LOL. Kidding aside, I would love to write a Monday Mayhem.

See you next week! And I hope we will have more participants in the future.

When Winning Isn't Everything

For a couple of weeks now I have been participating in a game at DigiShopTalk wherein there is a random giveaway given when the contest host says STOP. Basically you have to post in the particular forum thread and cross your fingers or try your luck. It’s that easy, and so far contest winners have been given kits, coupons and the biggest prize of all – unlimited access to the host’s store.

I thought of it as a great opportunity at first, not being a part of any CT, joining the contest will help me hoard kits to scrap at my leisure time. And then I met the people I am in the competition with. I am not really a sociable type of person but if you embrace my craziness then I get to loosen up and be funny. Posting in the thread is not about the contest anymore, it was more like a seal of friendship that I had made in digiscrapping world.

Don’t get me wrong, I have had a few acquaintances when I was in a CT of several designers but the friendship somehow just ended when I left the team. But now I have met very nice people from different parts of the world! Our time zones are absurd but we get to cause clamor in the thread all at the same time. So I have had sleepless nights recently and I have been late for work too. However, getting to know the girls is a priceless thing and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I wonder what happens when the contest ends. Somehow, posting in the thread doesn’t seem like a competition. Getting to know the girls and being friends with them is a big prize enough for me.
