Let's Beat the Heat! # 1

Summer is here! We have to beat the heat with a cool drink.

My featured refreshment for this week is Buko juice.
All you need are the following:
* buko (young coconut meat), shredded
* buko juice
* evaporated milk
* sugar ( I prefer the light brown sugar a.k.a didi)
* water
* ice

Presto! something cool to drink. Best and very appealing to serve in coconut shell.

What is your favorite drink/s during summer?

Vote for Earth!

The article by tita Medz of BPCCI reminded me of the upcoming Earth hour on March 28, 2009 from 8:30-9:30 PM.

Earth hour is a campaign for the awareness on global climate change. For this year, an election between Earth and Global warming will take place on the date and time stated above. You may cast your vote using your light swith/es--- turning it off is a vote for Earth, while leaving it on is a vote for global warming. The result of Earth hour campaign will be presented to world leaders on the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009 which will determine the action to be taken against global warming.


Let your voice be heard. VOTE EARTH by TURNING OFF YOUR LIGHTS on MARCH 28 from 8:30-9:30PM.

My own contribution for this campaign include:
* I will encourage my family to swith off our lights
* I will not work overtime on the 28th (eventhough we have a dealine to beat) and will encourage my workmates to do the same
* Info dissemination re: Earth Hour 2009

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

Snail Mail from Ms. Firefly

I received the snailmail express I requested from Ms. Odette of Little Miss Firefly last thursday night, February 12.

It was an early valentine gift.

The frog card...
This inspired me to work on the past-due frog crochet pattern I got from Roman Sock.



Her notes... The scrawl I want to have...


Some of her works... Minus one card (used and sent before posting this blog)


Thank you Ms. Odette!

If information are given...

there will be more questions and clarifications to addressed.

After a meeting...

... expect to have an overwhelming list of "to do's".... *sigh*

Two Contrasting Sentences

I receive this message thru SMS from Mhaleen:


* World's most beautiful sentence: "But, I Love You..."

* World's most painful sentence: "I Love You, But.."


The message ended with the question: "Make sense?"

My answer is a BIG YES, the two contrasting sentences made sense(I kept my answer within me coz no one have asked me face to face, yet). However, I find it unfair that a feels-so-good four-words sentence can easily be jumbled into a heart-breaking statement. *sigh*

How about you?
