Mosaic of First Year Memories

Yay! It's 18th of April! Same day last year, someone became part of my life. Someone who is so insensitive, less sweet and less thoughtful; but here we are, we are on our "paper" year. At first, I find it hard thinking what should I give to him. I googled all possible gifts that will be memorable for him (yeah, call me hopeless romantic, while he's not... hihihi), until I decided to create a photo mosaic. I've searched for a photo mosaic generator. I chose AndreaMosaic but the portable one. I dowloaded it from here. Then I selected all of our photos from april 2010. It's not easy for me to gather photos since most of our photos are in group. But luckily I had collected enough number of pictures of the two of us only.

And hola! This is the output of the generated photo mosaic. To see it closer, please click THIS.

I had already adjusted the size of the photo. The original output is 40x60 with 40.5MB.

I want to surprise Mark, but I have no choice but to tell him about this because we are always together. We went to Megamall. At first I want it printed in canvass with boxed frame, but its so expensive. Then we went to Island Photo. I chose a 20x30 photo enlargement in linen paper. We had the printed picture after 3 days.

Then we tried to go to SM Megamall Homeworld to look for frame that will fit the 20x30 picture. But we failed. We went to Frame Plus at Bldg A Upper Ground of SM Megamall, and inquire for frames. The price is fair so I decided to order a 20x30 frame. After 3 days, we already received the frame, then they put the picture that we brought.

And here it is:

I already gave it to him 3 days before our anniversary, that's why I already have his photo with my gift. I hope he likes it.

To Mark, Happy 1st Anniversary! :)

HK! HK!

Last night, my Mareng Lani and I were talking about our escapades this year. I told her that our company outing might be my last out-of-town this year because Mark and I need to save for our future. She told me that she has only 3 remaining vacations because she also needs to save for their house and wedding. Then suddenly, Mark chatted me saying, "Punta daw tayo ng Hong Kong". And my eyes sparkled. Hahaha. His parents are planning to go to HK some time in August, and we will be with them... hopefully. :D

Sunday Pamper at Fix & Fashion

Every other week, I go to Fix and Fashion Salon, just in front of Shopwise here in Antipolo, for the my nail pampering. This place is very accessible because my Ate and I visit here after we had our grocery.


This is Ate Joy, she's the one who always do my manicure and pedicure. :)

Sunrise from my New Window

Ok, that's it. I already moved out last Feb 13. I told my Nanay and Ate that I will try a sideline job and I need a nearer place from my office to do it. But the real reason why I moved out is I want to experience a life independently. 

And now, here it is, a very different life. My Nanay is not there to wash my clothes, to wash my used plates, mugs, etc, to get my towel after I took a bath, to clean my used cotton buds, etc. But it is fulfilling. 

I survived my first week, and I will survive the coming weeks, months, and years. :) It's a good thing that I don't need to wake up at 4am everyday. And God has a bonus for me: I always see the sunrise from my window, reminding me how beautiful life is.

I prefer I'm alone to my room so that I could not disturb anyone and I can do what I want. I used to wake up early and turn the lights on whenever I'm awake; I might disturb her when that happen. However, my room is for 2 persons so there might be a time that another one will occupy it. Maybe I'll just go through with it, and find another one if it does not work. :)
