Details, Stitches and Things
Minute details are very important and are often neglected. Crumpled sheer fabric used on a skirt, varying shadows emanating from a source of light, intricate carved wood patterns, children crossing the street, and so much more. During the year, there have been many times when I would take close up shots of objects and people around me, for the sole purpose of emphasizing the features that give life to usual elements. No, no I'm no photographer. Just your everyday "Detail's Enthusiast". :) haha

Christmas Do-It-Yourself

Fa-la-la-lalala-lah!

Being the late shoppers that we usually are, my family and I just recently started decorating our place. Been looking for a wreath to put up on the door of our unit for a few weeks now, but I can't seem to find one that satisfies our liking. I guess all the nice ones have already been purchased a long, long time ago!
During a trip earlier to S&R Alabang, we strolled around the aisles filled with Christmas decors and chanced upon a plain wreath sold to be decorated. Next to the plain wreaths were Christmas balls sold in huge boxes. With no ready-made wreaths in sight, I knew there was only one thing to do: Art Attack!!!!!!
The balls in black containers are the ones from S&R... |
..while the others are from a random trip to Ace Hardware in Makati last Friday. :) |
The curly details on the teardrop-shaped ones are extremely adorable. |
I love how rich and beautiful their colors are!
Got to do for now. It's time to put my wreath together :)
Toodles!

Spell: B-A-C-K-L-O-G-'-S (Part 1)
It has been awhile since I have blogged and often when I do, the posts are sparse and far apart from one another. A fact that even my father noted early this morning. Now how sad is thatttt??
So, before I get on about how and why I haven't been able to post much lately, I would like to show you guys a recap of the things that have been keeping me busy these past few weeks :)

The Giver
When I was in grade school, I got attached to one particular book that my English teacher made us read for our class. Lois Lowry's "The Giver" stuck out like a sore thumb against all the other novels that we were made (or forced) to read. Even after the lesson was over and the reports were made, I read the entire book several times after. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book, including a photo I took in Taguig, which seemed very fitting to the moral of the plot.
----
"But when he looked out across the crowd, the sea of faces, the thing happened again. The thing that had happened with the apple. They changed. He blinked, and it was gone. His shoulder straightened slightly. Briefly he felt a tiny sliver of sureness for the first time." Chapter 8, pg. 64
"He wondered what lay in the far distance where he had never gone. The land didn't end beyond those nearby community. Were there hills Elsewhere? Were there vast wind-torn areas like the place he had seen in memory, the place where the elephants died?" Chapter 13, pg. 106
"Things could change, Gabe. Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors. And grandparents. And everybody would have memories. You know about memories." Chapter 16, pg. 128
"Memories are forever." Chapter 18, pg. 144
If he had stayed in the community, he would not be. It was as simple as that. Once he had yearned for choice. Then, when he has had a choice, he had made the wrong one: the choice to leave. And now he was starving." Chapter 22, pg. 174

If these lines spiced your interest to read the book, do so! Though the book is considered a book for teenagers and children, the confusion that revolves around the characters' lives and the lessons one may learn, give the book justice enough to be read by adults. :)
