A CRAFTY WEEK

Hankie (particularly the Armando Caruso brand) was part of my collection way  way back in 2009 and backward.  I only stopped collecting when I had already hundreds of them.  But I still have them until now and I only lost one from my collection!  Obviously, I am good in taking care of my belongings.  It's the good attitude I learned from my mother.  



Only last week I got the idea of making crafty hankie as stress-reliever everyday. I immediately searched on how to do with the hankie in a crafty way.  Thanks to the online tutorial!  So there they are!  Let the photos speak.






I wanna greet my two great buddies a happy birthday!  I love you both and I really appreciate your goodness.  







That's all for this time!

MY PERSONAL IDEAS AND LESSONS IN GIVING AND RECEVING GIFTS

I neglected this blog for several months until its domain name was expired last May 2014.  As you can see, my  last post was on March.  The month of April is the busiest month in my career.  I was struggling to continue the Project:Baby I had in the month of May.  Yet, I finally decided to end the said project before its anniversary in the month of June.  Like what I've posted on Facebook, "If you watered a plant for a year and it didn't grow, would you keep watering it? Or realize you have bad seeds. Wake up and move on. Find some new seeds and plant it. Let it grow. So this July, I continue finding a new subject for the said project.  Not the baby itself but to continue making people happy in my own little ways.  It all started when I read a book about Project Happiness.

My job is into paper works and I can say paper is my happiness at the same time especially when it's pay day, paper money! 

Paper is my art, it's my stress reliever.  And I love giving gifts, it's my way of showing my appreciation.  This gift wrapped in green motif because the fave color of the gift-receiver is obviously green.  And the color of the gift itself of course is green! 

Sometimes, I have no time to wrap gifts na pa-bonggahan.  I just bought ready to give gift box.  Usually kapag lalaki yung gift-receiver mas gusto nila simply lang.  Kaya idaan na lang sa personalized gift tag.  These gift tags were my personal choice since both of them are into basketball.

The receiver of this gift is not a pro Pnoy but yellow is her favorite color!  When I saw this pouch, siya talaga ang naisip ko.  Ako kasi, I don't wait any special occasions to give gifts.  
Mismo ako kasi ang excited na magbigay. 

This cracker lookalike gift wrapping is bagay sa mga cologne na pang regalo.


Sometimes I don't have any idea what to give as a gift especially when you don't have any idea pa about the person, kung ano ang mga hilig niya.  So, cash gift is the last choice.  A money shirt makes a unique way to give.  This money origami shirt and necktie is folded from a single bill.  Trousers is another bill and the dress is a single bill as well. The origami inventor of the design is Stefan Delecat.  I gave this cash gift for a certain lovers on their first year anniversary.


Lastly, the gift-receiver not only appreciate the gift but also the message on the gift tag. :-)

P.S.  Personal/verbal "Thank you" is much appreciated on the part of the giver. It will inspire him/her to give more.

THE PAPER BOXES- ADVANCE HAPPY EASTER


I woke up at around 3 am because of a bad dream.  I was about to cry in that dream scene with my family.  Ha-ha.  As I remember, it's more than 2 years already that I last cried.  Back then, I felt heart pain when I woke up.   Instead of going back to sleep, I decided to go online to comfort myself and in order to forget that nightmare.  I am listening to my latest favorite song "City of Dreams" now while typing this blog post.  

Don't let bad vibes enter your system.  Dapat good vibes palagi.  Kaya, despite of busy days at work insert tax season, I find time or shall I say "we" find time to relax and de-stress. So every time, I  feel  weak cause of stress, I excuse myself and go to the nearest grocery store and buy comfort foods or treat myself with sweets.  I love cakes and chocolates plus ice cream insert tulo-laway.  



Or we order to go at the nearest Jollibee branch and have a chit chat with my co-workers.  That pretty lady in violet loves and never tire of eating jolly spaghetti.  Sino pa naman ang di maganahan sa lagay mo Beckyjeans.  Ha-ha.


Or take a minute or two to pose (cam-whoring) just to de-stress ourselves from work.

Personally, I do crafts and arts everytime stress strikes me.  Kahit sa office dala ko pa rin ang hilig ko sa arts.  Yet, I am not the only one who is creative.  Almost of my officemates have their own creative side.  One of them is Miss Janine Cho, a Korean K-pop fanatic.  She even can speak Korean.  Ha-ha.  Saranghe!  We had an Origami session yesterday.  I was able to encourage her to teach me in making paper box, not related to Korean culture and arts  but she agreed. She said yes!  She hated me though of taking photos of her while making small paper boxes but I don't care Sandara!

The first step is to fold the corners of each square to the center, using a bone folder (Scissor can be use.  Paraan-paraan lang yan) to make precise creases.  The rest of the steps, you can do search online if you are interested to make paper boxes or maybe you already know how.  I am just here sharing the real origami session.  :-)


Origami was derived from the Japanes word Oro, meaning "to fold", and Kami, meaning "paper".  Kahit sinisipon, keri lang.  Hold on mo lang yan 'te.

It is debatable whether Origami originated in Japan, Korea, or China.  Actually, the craft originated in China in the first or second century and wasn't practiced in Japan until five or six years later.  

Paper-folding is strictly square paper, yet there are modern interpretations.  The newer forms demanded that all shapes be created from a single piece of paper using folds only.

And here the finished paper boxes of 8 in different colors.  
Advance happy Easter to Jerry and his company.  The paper boxes of mothballs are for them.  They attacked my office cabinet and left some shit.  

I hope my office cabinet will rat-free na!
