Scrap Updates!
Im going to be filling you up with a slew of layouts (I think 10) and a lot of good news so stay tuned!
In other completely unrelated news, I read in my daily fix of paparazzi Holywood gossip web sites that an actress did another job on her nose and availed of Northern Virginia plastic surgery. Seriously, I hope her nose doesnt fall off. I think this is her fourth already - if Hollywood gossip is right 
Layout Share: Best Friends for Life
I got to play with Songbird’s Avenues July Kit - Euphoria. As I’ve already mentioned, this month’s chosen charity - Fisher’s Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation - is very close to my heart. My maternal grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s for 10 years and it was very hard for us.
If you would like to consider donating, please visit their web site: www.songbirdavenue.com.
They are having a contest with the kit. We just scraplift any of Gina Miller’s layouts and we get a matching mini kit for free and stand a chance to win GCs! I hope I win something!
Pingo.
So I talked about our landline being busted for more than 3 weeks already and talking with my aunt who is coming home in a week internationally through our cellphones are not really saving us money. So I found this great deal - an international cell phone card! Pingo can let me get up to 4 hours of free International calls just by signing up. It is true, long distance calling just got cheaper! Just go to www.pingo.com/freeinternationalcallingcards.do and email them at link@freeautobot.com to receive a free phone card! They even have an affiliate program that pays $15 for each new customer they refer. It is interesting to note that people who use mobile phones with Pingo Calling Cards save 90% or more on their international calls - truly a great deal considering I make many of them! It is part of the service of iBasis, one of the largest carriers of international phone calls in the world - having International calling card service. It would really save us a lot of money primarily because my relatives are always calling us or needing to talk to us regarding family matters. They call every week, three times a week the most! There are so many invites to go to lunches and dinners and go sight seeing. Plus my aunt has a business here that she needs to follow up on daily. So communicating though mobile phones are the only way for us. Im just happy that I found this.
DDE: 50% off sale.
If you must know one thing about my scrapping, one is that I am a certified Gina Cabrera addict. I buy all her stuff the day it comes out. Now, Im just going to get the few I have not had the chance to get - like 2 of them :P. Im going to get the mono packs too.
You should see me!
Im so hyperventilating!

Another one from me, you will see a lot of layouts from me this week as I have been scrapping like a madwoman :).
Here is a layout based on the SSD Recipe Challenge. I have loved the pictures of us when we went swimming to Sariaya, Quezon last June. There were yellow flowers everywhere so it was pretty guilt-free to pluck so many Martha loved them - and the flowers seem to bloom when we wore them tucked behind our ears. Good memories

A Little Trivia about Aggietha :)
If you want to know a little trivia about me, I’d give you one - Im really scared of losing my teeth! I really take good care of it, and go to the dentist as soon as I feel something is wrong with my teeth. I even contemplated on having them whitened or bleached but my dentist advised me otherwise - my teeth are perfect as it is. A San Diego cosmetic dentist quality dental procedures and I would like to have Invisalign invisible braces when I have enough money.

Im hosting this week’s Scrap with the SugarBabes Challenge over at SSD. I hope you can join!
For this week, we would like you to scrap with us documenting your family’s special names - not the usual names you call them with, their nicknames, but the names that were brought about by special traits, special events, things they do or usually say .
So maybe the word “Fish” or “Bugs” mean ordinary for somebody else, but it is meaningful for you. My cousin called her daughter “Bugs” or “Buggaboo” lovingly, because she usually “bugs” her when she is in the middle of something else .

Little Birdie Told me..
..that a lot of collab kits and awesome mega super duper contest is in the works If you know the teams Im in you will have a firsthand guess as to which it is. Im personally so psyched to be part of it all and cant wait for the big reveal!
Laugh!
I just want to show you this funny video! If you know me, you should know that I can laugh easily and gregariously over the silliest and corniest things. But you will really like this movie! It is entitled ‘The Interrogation’, and it a comedy-action-horror video ad for the web site Money-Casino.com. The video is very clear, sounds are clear - over-all, the video is really in great quality. The video is all about a woman who is so cruel and sadistic that she tortures a young man to be able to get something she wants and that he is hiding. What is he hiding? You got to watch the video!
Losing Sight of Why I Scrap.
We will be just be staying in the house this weekend so I plan to scrap - hopefully! I have been busy with grouping my pictures with Nancy Comelab’s frames so I can just embellish it on canvas today and tomorrow.
I think I have somehow lost sight of why I scrap. These days, it is all about getting and buying and meeting CT requirements and scrapping with the trends. While of these are fine, sometimes I just need to scrap because I need to preserve a memory, you know.
And that is what Ill do this weekend.

Photography Class: First Assignment!
We just received our first assignment: White Custom Balance.
Abie is a real pro. She even has examples to show us.
I plan to get the Rebel working by tomorrow. To demonstrate white balance, I need something colorful, maybe Matthew’s colors or a scarf.
I really plan to get serious on this thing.
Wish me luck!
LifeSize Video Conferencing
At our day and age of the internet boom, there is also a shift to taking classes online and even doing conference with business partners or employees from different areas. It has proven to be cost effective and has improved communications. LifeSize Video Conferencing can really have an effect in these areas. It will improve communication as you can see the person you are talking to face to face as if you are talking, and can even have it on conference.

I have so many pictures of Martha having that same look, either she has that finger up her nose or in her mouth. Sometimes, her eyes has one of them closed (kirat), or she has her mouth open with drool coming out, LOL. But I still think she is so stinking cute! Dont you agree?
I used Natalie Braxton’s awesome Ribbon Fastened Frames on this one.
You can also get awesome cardboard stuff at the Pad. Check them out!
Ask Jud
I have found such a cool site to trick your friends! I have fooled my friends for hours using Ask Jud. Basically, it is an online virtual tarot - basically, when you ask the question, instead of typing it, you type the answer, and voila! When you ask the question, you are 100% sure you can get the right answer! It’s a little bit tricky, you need to make sure they arent reading what you type, but worth it. Their rival web site, ask peter, doesnt even come close!
My Cameras
Just a little trivia for you: Do you know that digital cameras are on top of every wishlist for special occassions - holidays, birthdays, special achievements (graduation, promotion at the office, etc.). As a digital scrapper, I have longed to have a digital SLR camera to be able to really capture moments with good lighting, no shutter lag, more flexibility. I have two cameras - a point and shot, Kodak EasyShare V530 and the Canon Digital Rebel xTi (Canon 400D). I absolutely love both. The Rebel I primarily use when going out with the kids, I cannot believe how clear and crisp and how much action shots it can take quite well. Im fairly satisfied with my digital cameras already - now, I only need to know how maximize its use by learning how to do manual shooting!
Learn German
Would you like to learn how to say a German word everyday? I recommend you go to German Word Daily. You get free automatic daily downloads and even subscribe using iTunes. You can also subscribe to their daily email. The German language is not the easiest language to learn but this site will really help you learn how to speak it in no time!
Photography Class.
Im so excited!
Starting tomorrow, Abie will be doing workshops on photography at the Bebots’ forum. I’m really looking forward to it since I have had my xTi since March and I really havent gotten the chance to maximize its potential (and the price Im paying it for!). Hopefully, with this workshop, I can go out of auto and do manual shots. I also have been playing with editing pictures (care of Itty Bitty Actions) and it is true. Photographs are the key to great layouts - not perfectly taken, edited, or what-not - but the memory it holds for you. So I try to salvage the best I can about blurry shots and let’s take it from there!
