When a Sleepy Head Doodles
Even if i have a laptop with me where i can keep soft copies of my thoughts, i still keep a number of notebooks with me. Ever since I was in elementary, I have this habit of reusing some of my school notebooks for doodling. If ever you saw a notebook with my name on it but there’s no doodle at the back, most probably that is not mine.
After the surprise kiddie party my friends prepared for me on my twenty third birthday, i managed to write a doodle on my ‘notebook of the month’. With my red ballpen that I use for proofreading, i wrote some of the things i want to do now that i am 23 years old. There’s something special about turning twenty three and i can’t really explain why. I remember a blogger friend from Livejournal telling me when I was 18 that my 23rd year in planet earth will be a very exciting one. I won’t tell on which specific part of my life that will be, but your guess is as good as mine.
Want to see the doodle? Ok here it is LOL:
(Forgive me with my poor penmanship. I iz sleepy LOL)
What I wrote there is not arranged in chronological order, but let me explain every point LOL.
Making History at the Cebu Blog Camp 2010
“Cebu Blog Camp Hangover” - That’s my status in Facebook, Plurk and Twitter yesterday. Just like the rest of the Cebu Campers who attended the first ever Cebu Blog Camp, I still can’t blog in a straight news way. I will try anyway. Or maybe not.
Nah, I'm not singing. I'm narrating my blog story here! 
For the sixth time in nine months, I found myself stepping at the Mactan International Airport last Friday. I am back in the Queen City of the South for the Cebu Blog Camp 2010. I was invited by Winston to speak about the Basics of Blogging and I immediately said yes when he mentioned about it months ago. I was sick and sleepless when I arrived, so I went straight to my hotel room to have a nap – which resulted to six hours of sleep 0_0. I missed the trip to Maribago Beach Resort because of that, so I went straight to Ayala Mall instead to finalize my presentation for the talk the next day.
So Saturday is the big day! I wasn’t able to sleep and I looked like a zombie when I ate my breakfast. I am thankful that Ate Ria was there and she did my make-up for that morning 
I am not really into make-ups and stuff, that’s why I am glad that Ate Ria was more than willing to help me look like a normal person for my talk teehee.

Woohoo! New Blog Theme Up!
I am excited to inform everyone that after two years (ermm… almost), I finally have a new personalized theme!
I would like to thank the Lajara sisters Ada and Sab for this wonderful birthday gift! To be honest, I am really in love with my old blog theme (the one with an emo girl at the header LOL). I love it due to its simplicity. I want my blog visitors to focus more on my content rather than the design or anything else.
Months ago, a close blogger friend of mine advised me to change my blog theme for a change. He had a constructive remark (i’d like to believe it is constructive hehe) that my old blog look doesn’t really look good in other browsers (which is true, btw). I tried to look for other free wordpress themes, but I failed to find the perfect theme for me. I am a fan of the traditional blog look and the themes wherein the categories are at the main page somewhat gives me too much pressure to blog.
CONTEST ALERT! Krispy Kreme Treats for Mommy
Last May 9, 2010, the whole world celebrated Mother’s Day. It is the time of the year wherein we give extra attention to our mom by treating them as a queen even just for a day. How I wish my mom is with me so I can pamper her with all my heart. I’d love to shop, dine and hangout with her!
Krispy Kreme Mango Kreme Cake
I went to my favorite doughnut place last Mother’s Day and tried the new Krispy Kreme Mango Kreme Cake and Chiller. It is a perfect treat for the mothers. I also consider this combo as my ‘sweet escape’ from work and the heat
