Scrapbook Pages

In my first entry, I wrote about the new hobby I am very much into - scrapbooking. I already have 3 albums of finished pages. The first scrapbook album I made was of our little boy's pictures. The next was of my first travel outside of the country and the other one are random pictures I want to preserve.

I would like to share a couple of the random scrapbook pages I have made for the past couple of months. (1) Man of the House (2) Little Big Boy (3) Run with the Wave (4) Cobra Team (the team that I belong to at work)...

That Darn Dream!

Most of us must have heard of this from our not so young elders - having a dream that a tooth falls off is really bad, a sign (daw!) that someone you love - a relative or friend - will die... Well, this really is giving me the creeps and it didn't help that today is Friday the 13th! I'm not saying that I believe this.

You know, a few days before my grandfather died, I had a dream that two of my teeth broke. I believe that was just a coinsidence. So just to see if there are other meanings to this dream, I looked it up in the internet. Here is what it says in:

1. (http://petrix.com/dreams/body.html)
Teeth
Normally an unfavorable sign in a dream. It signifies displeasure and also shows that you are afraid of losing someone dear to you.

2. (http://www.anael.org/english/dreams/meaningofdream4.htm)
Teeth, falling out: Spiritual tragedy, diseases.

Teeth Dreams
Dreaming about teeth is very common in all cultures and age groups. Most dreams about teeth leave people feeling uneasy and anxious. Consider the overall content and context of the dream and note if you are having dental problems before making interpretation. Teeth usually symbolise power and/or control. Animals use their teeth for defence and nourishment and show their teeth when they are angry. Humans often display similar behaviours. Look and see if you are losing or abusing power and control in any area of your life (especially if you are losing teeth in your dream). Old dream interpretations say that dreaming about teeth is a bad omen that suggests financial difficulties.

The common meaning I found from my "research" is all about difficulties (financial and spiritual) and tragedy. That last thing makes me feel uncomfortable... I don't like that word - very negative!

Well guys, (and I am telling this to myself too...), the best thing to do is to pray to God that nothing bad will happen... and that this dream is just that - a dream.

Sexy Mama Dream

This is the scrapbook layout I submitted for the scrappin' moms May challenge. It was a hit (though I didn't win) I can say becuase most of the people I met during the scrapfest called me Chay - the sexy mama. hahaha

These are pictures Sabrina (my office friend) took of me posing at shop windows with sexy stuff... I would like to think she loved it so much she took so many pictures of me posing and making funny faces!

So much to do, so little time... but then...

There are a thousand things i'd love to do... cook, bake, learn to drive and swim, take singing and dancing lessons, work on my beading (accessories) and scrapbooking (until my eyes and hands hurt), go to the gym, play badminton regularly, try to home-school my little big boy... oh, that's just to name a few!

Reality? I have to spend my time on a day job, bond with Wax when I get home (till i tuck him to bed) and then catch up with the "other" man in my life (till I tuck him to bed too!). You see, I have my hands full already... but I am not going to complain.

...One time I passed by the old man digging the foul-smelling trash for food, little children begging for some spare change, and a lady sleeping on the pavement... I just couldn't stop thanking God that I have a day job that would keep me from digging in the trash for food and that I have a home where my hubby and son are waiting for me.
This IS the perferct life for me (not counting in the financial aspect of course). And if ever I get to do some of the things I wrote above, let's just say it's a big big bonus.
