off the rack at Landmark

I often pass by Landmark and I can't help but wish for some of the dresses hanging on the racks.

Well, I like shopping more so when things that I like to buy fits me!

I love bags! These bags are very affordable and I like the embroidered design. You can find these bags at Landmark.

edsa!

The photos I posted here happens everyday at EDSA. That "tunnel" with lights is actually the MRT -Ayala station where below it are the bus lanes.

Those people standing at the foreground are passengers waiting for their bus. yonder is the EDSA-Ayala overpass. Yup these people do wait for their bus rides where it is prohibited "bawal (nga e!)" zone! The MMDA can't do much about it 'coz these passengers are waiting for provincial buses that do not pass through the appointed bus lanes. I think those provincial buses don't want to stay longer than necessary at the long ques made by other buses. Most (city) buses at the Ayala-EDSA zone line up for passengers longer than the time allowed by the MMDA.

to Greenbelt

the sight of plants relaxes me

From work, Greenbelt is about 2 to 3 minutes walk lang. And along with some officemates we usually go to Greenbelt during lunch break. More so when work is neck deep, we just have to go down and try to absorb some oncogenic sunlight and inhale some of Makati's vehicular pollution.

Here's another shot of the same park (SyCip Park along Legazpi St.).

I was pleasantly surprised when I first passed by Greenbelt 5 (G5), and saw the 2 pools (low lying "fountains"). Those pools gives the shopper or passersby a refreshing view amidst concrete and glass structures. You can see beyond the pool the pocket garden in the middle of Greenbelt. The pocket garden is surrounded by G3, G4, G5, and the Greenbelt chapel.

Here's another shot where you can see G3 beyond the greens.

Next are some shots of the path to the Greenbelt chapel from G5.

The Greenbelt chapel. I sometimes spend some of my time here. The chapel's location is very convenient for Makati workers not to mention the serenity it imbues to whoever seeks solitude inside.

swarovski bracelets and pearl accessories

I am posting pics of some of the pearl earrings I recently sold. I ran out of time then, so i wasn't able to post the Swarovski bracelets pics ordered by some friends and officemates.
Well, here's some...

Yeah, the resolution is indeed poor. The light where I took the pictures is poor din. But, you know I like that feeling of knowing that what you have created/made is appreciated and was/were actually bought! Yup, my simple "creations" were bought and I also am receiving orders, that somehow gives me a nice feeling :).

I welcome suggestions... My creations are very affordable at very low low prices. And if you would like to order, you may contact me here just use the comment post or txt me at 0910-3492214.

I was able to sell the blue and white crystal bracelet (see pic below) sometime in January (2008) and since this is one of the few pics I took of my creations I think I'll just post this and also of some (again blurred) pics of a double rainbow Swarovski bracelet on 10K gold I made for an officemate (he gave it as a 2008 Valentine gift to his wife).

Below is the white Swarovski bracelet (double rainbow) in 10K gold that an officemate bought for his wife as Valentine gift.

Yup, the resolutions are really bad, not to mention that I did not present the pieces in better settings/background(well...) well I am trying to save up for a better camera (an SLR maybe?)

kakenkoyan sa work

Even if dreary ang weather ganundin ang work because of deadlines, good natured officemates make your day naman :)

there's Gil infront of his station, (super busy and dedma to the world as usual!), here kuya Benny and April posed for my cam (this was taken during the last Friday that April is employed by the company (she opted to work in Singapore)

hehehee, kiliti naman dyan!

busy! hehee, si Teri (back at the cam) at April nagko-conference

di talaga matipid ngumiti si Araj at Irvin!

minsan talaga di umiimik si Macoy, serious yan sa work parang tong si Harvs serious din at magaling na layout artist (nagbabasa kasi at dinidiskartehan ang pag-layout unlike other external and inhouse suppliers)

hmmmm...at ano naman ang pinagkakaabalahan nyo, hmmm? (super busy guys, from the left (seated) Martin, Macoy (cream jacket), and Irvin

buhos

There are days na I can hardly raise myself from the bed or rouse myself from deep slumber. Maybe, yan ay dahil sa distance ng work ko from our house. Imagine I have to travel from Monday to Saturday(half day lang naman) from Cavite to Makati. At first I can hardly raise my head from the pillow, ganun!

my cluttered desk at work

I have often contemplated leaving Makati and work in Cavite near our home(of which I did job hunt, unfortunately karamihan grads of IT courses ang preferred, heheheee).

And there’s the horrifying traffic scheme in Cavite – daily travelers refer to it as “buhos.” Buhos works like this – Cavite’s traffic enforcers stop the Cavite bound vehicles at Longos (bottleneck area at the flyover sa bungad ng Emilio Aguinaldo Highway) and they let the Manila bound vehicles occupy both sides of the road. The Manila bound vehicles roar onwards like scurrying wildebeests (ngek, exagz!). Bohus for Manila bound or Cavite bound vehiclesmay last up to 5 to 10(?) minutes then the ongoing vehicular flow is stopped then yong isa naman. Kaya kung ang sinasakyan mo (Manila bound) at di nakalampas sa SM Bacoor ng quarter to 7am at pa-Makati ka well bukas ka na lang pumasok. 'Coz the vehicle flow creates a bottleneck traffic at Niog on to Talaba and again by the tollgate or at the MIA road parallel to Uniwide Sales Coastal Mall. Whew!

Fortunately, it seems that Cavite's traffic management partnered with the MMDA in the current road widening project along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway. The last time I looked the spray painted structures and "USLI" posters has reached Dasmariñas, Cavite. Yeeey!

crazy dance

My daughter likes to dance! Hay naku! I am sometimes amazed with the way she dances to the latest TV soap craze (chan. 7’s Marimar) and (also of Chan. 7’s lunchtime TV show) EatBulaga’s “Kagat Labi.” More so when I found out that my husband taught her how to do the “Kagat Labi” dance.

Hay talaga! Here she is doing the “Kagat Labi.” J

My children's antics keeps me sane from life's daily concerns. My kids are my true joy...

park in the middle

The Washington SyCip Park is a refreshing green island in the middle of Legazpi and Gamboa Sts., near Greenbelt 1.

On this huge rock and on two other huge rocks at the other two park entrances, the park's name were hammerred.

The entrance to the park from Legazpi street.

One of two gazebos inside the park. Beside this gazebo is a pond populated with kois. Fountains and an artificial waterfall aerates the pond water.

I like walking through this park when I have the time, it somehow gives me the feeling of being transported somewhere far from the city.

Here are photos of other parts of the Sycip Park.

Here's an interesting structure, a mobile sculpture, it rises in the park's center



Here's another sculpture, well I'll take a better shot of this, so for now I think this will do.

And here's what welcomes you at the Gamboa street entrance of the park, a cute big stone tortoise(?)

my other joy - beading...

Here are some of the pearl, glass, and wire earrings I did. The designs are simple for I'm still a newbie.

Next is an enlarged photo of the dangling pearl earring, in the photo above.

Sorry for the resolution, the photos were taken with an N70, and the light was poor where I took it. Next is a colored glass bracelet. I do sell these bead jewelries at very low prices. The pearl earrings were sold at Ph35.00 each to my officemates, the cultured pearls and swarovzki crystal I used there are real.

And below are the Swarovzki crystals in 10K gold bracelet (price starts at Ph300 up, price depends on th amount of gold and Swarovzki crystals used) and the cultured pearl bracelet (Ph 60.00) that I also did. I usually wrap the jewelries, such as bracelets, I sell in string pouches such as the one in the photo below.

I will soon post my other creations. If you are interested you may contact me at lmerjb@yahoo.com or at 09103492214
