Back in business!

I haven't logged on to this site for over a month! Terribly sorry for not keeping you updated.

The past few weeks have been crazy because...

1. I moved into a new apartment!

Yey! After over seven months of crashing into my cousin's room, I now have my own place in Greenhills. (Well okay, not my *own* place, I'm just renting, but you get the picture!) The best thing about moving out and getting my own space is finally being able to set up my bead corner! I've started setting up my table AND I've finally taken my beads and clay out of the pathetic bags they were stuck in for seven months. As soon as I've organized all my stuff, I'm going to post another "junk" folder. Watch out for another "Odds and Ends" sale soon! I'm also posting the pix of my crafting area tomorrow. I'm not yet done setting up though, so it all looks kinda messy right now. Settling into the new place has taken a toll on my bead biz - I've been spending all my money on household stuff!  AND I don't have internet access at the new place, hence the unupdated website.  SORRY SORRY SORRY for not being able to reply to your personal messages.

2. My family came home for Christmas!

I spent the holidays bonding with my mom, my dad, my brothers, and a bunch of cousins. It was one of the best Christmases ever! I got so hung up on the holiday spirit that I haven't beaded in weeks. That explains this empty website right now. hihi.

3. I started moonlighting for another magazine.

This month I did a DIY project for Seventeen. It's probably coming out this summer, either May or April, so don't forget to grab a copy. (Oh, and I'm coming out in the March issue too!)

4. I went to Cebu last weekend!

But I wasn't able to go bead shopping. Ugh. There was a press junket for the new Amuma Spa in Maribago and I was sent there to represent RL. It was the ultimate vacay! All expense paid, eat-all-you-can, live-like-a-queen weekend! The spa was heavenly! I tried three different massages, will post a review if I have time. The bathroom of my hotel room was maaahvelous! It was almost as huge as the room. But the room itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary, just a typical resort-hotel room. It was too big for me because I was all alone (everyone had a room to themselves). Sayang the other queen size bed (there were two in the room). The pool was really charming, especially at night. Will post pics soon.

Apart from the four things mentioned above, there was work, cooking (it's become my latest hobby), trying to go to the gym, and... work. Whew, just thinking about the stuff I've been doing the past weeks makes me want to go back to the spa... exhausting!

I'm working on my new 2007 collection now, so watch out for new stuff.ü
