yellow orchids

My yellow orchids bloomed today and it has made me glad.

Cheers to friendship

Christmas Dinner

The grilled duck is too big, the grilled pork is fat, I forgot to buy brown sugar for the potatoes, and I am not so fond of red cabbage. I also cannot wait for today, that I'd eaten last night the dessert that we love to eat during Christmas which is called "Ris a la mande". Finally, I decided I'll just prepare beef strings with roasted vegetables plus potatoes cut in cubes. But before that, is the smoked salmon with thinly striped cucumber on top. And for dessert is vanilla ice cream with chocolate on top. Shall we say cheers? Ohh and can you see the 3 words on the left of my dessert? -that is meant for all of you!

I didn't had the time to greet everybody personally eventhough you are all in my thoughts and wishes.

To explain the image I made-I have been dreaming of a white christmas. I am thinking that in this cold winter weather-it should be snowing by now.......

Studio Friday: THE FESTIVE STUDIO!

The holiday season is upon us...what
is festive in your studio for the holiday season? What puts you in the holiday spirit?" -espialdesign

I cannot deny that Christmas time have always been the best holiday season I always look forward to since I was a little girl. The holiday spirit in the Philippines starts in the month of September and it has not failed the filipino people to look forward for another year of festive celebration. It doesn't matter if one is rich or poor, there was always faith and hope and those little things that makes one smile and happy in the heart.

Although, I had started late in making my christmas decor this year, I am glad that I did not lost the spirit after all. It is in my nature to stay happy and be brave despite of the weather and some problems. I am maybe missing that part of my childhood memories and the culture I was brought up to but, I am already here and I content myself with the kind of festive surrounding around me.

Studio Friday: Creating emotion

For the past three years, I had made some small gift boxes to hang on my christmas tree. But this year, I don't feel I have that christmas spirit which is very untypical of me. You see, I am going to celebrate the holidays alone, well........Anyway, I had removed a hanging carpet painting on the wall and what was left was the long thin wood where it was fastened. The other day, I thought I should taped the small gift boxes on it. And so I did, together with the small candle santa. Still, I don't feel anything-but when it started falling down in the sofa that I laughed a little. I said to myself, what's going on, could it mean I should have done better or make some more decorations? Actually, my cherry votive candles arrived today, maybe the fragrance can do something about that missing christmas creative emotion. What do you think?
