My blogger profile picture

profile

I’ve been using this profile picture/sketch for a time now. I’m sure you’ve noticed it already. I like this piece of art because the woman in the sketch conveys a different persona or aura. She looks so simple (like me) and calm. There is certain uniqueness in her plus the fact that it was created by my daughter. Sketch doesn’t need to be updated unlike with the real picture. With my current profile photo, I don’t feel any pressure of using an anti aging face cream just to hide the inevitable fine lines in the forehead and around the mouth. Remember that drawings can last a lifetime, so even if I’m 50 and still running by blogger site, I might still use the same profile picture. She’s lovely, isn’t she?

Easy steps to french braid your hair

1 Reply

My daughter is missing our former nanny (Yaya Analyn) not because she loves her more than me, but because she remembers the way she   braids her hair before she goes to school. It’s been three years since Analyn left us, but Naomi still mentions about the specific hair style she wants. She used to compare me with Analyn (in terms of fixing her hair) and it annoys me. Ok, I don’t know how to do french braid and the only hairstyle that I know is the simplest one called ponytail. My daughter wants to try a different hairstyle other than ponytail. So even if I’m searching for some files on disability insurance, I was able to search for this instructional video on how to do french braid. I think I can start from here. The steps seem easy to follow. Now, the only thing that I need is a cooperative model. But my daughter couldn’t be separated from her pencil and sketch pad!

Young fashion designer

minidress

Guess who made this sexy dress for Barbie? The kid hand sewn this tiny getup yesterday and he even took pictures of the dress with Barbie in it. He is fond of cutting and sewing tiny dresses for our dolls at home. Too bad, I wasn’t able to gather his past “creations” as they got lost in the pile of toys at home. Anyway, I have nothing against his hobby, but I don’t tolerate it either. However, if the kid really wants to pursue a career in fashion designing in the future, I will not meddle. Is there something wrong if one of the kids choose to be a fashion designer especially if he is a boy? Hubby and I have talked about the possibility of “what-ifs”. But I can’t tell him to stop or he would learn to keep things to himself or become secretive. I let him enjoy his hobby for now because I don’t want him to give me reason to buy the best anti wrinkle cream. Luckily, he is not acting “pasaway” stubborn if he doesn’t get what he wants. So, what do you think of this little dress made of an old sando shirt?
