Pete Solis Nery Book Launch

Yesterday, I was invited to attend a book launch. It was my first time to attend such event. Anyway, I was with my fellow bloggers, and here are some pics of me on the event.

I finally have my Knitting Needle

It was lunch time in the office when I decided to go to the Mall next to the office to buy some thread for my cross-stitch. On the store, I was in luck to have all the thread I needed, available. I asked the saleslady, do you have a knitting needle? It was like magic when she moved and got me a pair. I was really happy.

Now, I am knitting!

Knitting and Stitching

I like doing stuff using my hands. I used to cross-stitch, knit and crochet. I am good at it but since I was so busy I couldn’t find time to do it again. Until recently, I found a knit one save one program. So, it brought back my love to knit. Since the one who borrowed two pairs of my knitting needle did not return it, I tried going back to the store in where I got my two pairs before. Sadly, the saleslady doesn’t even know what Knitting needle is, she keeps on showing me the regular needle, and I keep on saying “No, it’s like a pencil but longer.” Still no luck. I guess they don’t sell it anymore. So, I asked for a crochet hook instead. To my shock, the saleslady asked me, “what is that?” Oh dear, was I in the right place or what? The other saleslady told her to look for it on a certain corner, and she found me the crochet hook. I bought one, just to buy something from that place.

Though I have the crochet, I don’t feel like doing crochet things. So, I look for my other love, cross-stitch. I went to stitches and things and got all the things that I wanted. I started cross-stitching awhile ago and I am happy to do t again. I think I could finish it before the year ends, or even have more than one creations, I know I could finish a pattern for 12 hours, as long as I have the complete material.

Getting a Dragonfly Tattoo

I talked to my Mom this morning about my new years resolution. I told her I want to be slimmer.  If by the end of the year I got the figure I wanted, I would be getting a dragonfly tattoo.

She said it’s nice and she knows where I wanted to put the tattoo. It would be on my c-section mark. She told me that her’s could not be seen, but mine have this black mark. So, it is indeed better to put a tattoo over it, to be pleasing to look at.

I hate tattoo and I think it would be a dirt on a skin, but this was before. I have come to appreciate its existence and put it to good use.

My Moms only worry is that she told me it would be a painful process. I answered her, I could bear all pain. She seems happy for me, though she said it could not be seen anyway, but she knows I am not comfortable of having this scar within me, so beautifying it would be much help.

My Mom is COOL, though I hate her most of the time and she does feel the same way about me, but as they say: “The more you hate, the more you love.” I know we love each other, its just part of a parent-child relationship to have those arguments, misunderstandings and all other bad things, but the important thing is, we have those good things as well.

Here’s the design I wanted, but it would be next year, so I still have plenty of time to search and decide what to get.
