Today we will go to a new park nearby. I know Joshua would really love that. They have renovated the whole area last month and now it's ready for the kids to play.
I would also want the opportunity to take a picture of him getting dirty,so I can have an entry for tomorrow's photohunt.

On the other hand since it's Friday we will hit the grocery stores and probably asian market too later today.


Scrapbooking Talk:
A friend of mine wanted me to make an invitation card scrapbooking style since it's a girl I am looking for pink flowers for embellishments.
I was browsing the stores to see if I could find some and remembered Peppermint Creative has freebies every month. I haven't really downloaded anything from there since I started buying elements. So I went and checked and there it is the free kit is pink. I just really want the flowers,so just perfect for my project.

When we visited Myke's family in MN last month. His sister had prepared this delicious salsa,that I liked so much. Oh it was just so yummy!
You might want to try this it's easy,simple and quick to prepare.

2 cans of black beans (drained)
2-3 ripe tomatoes chopped up small
1 small onion or 1/2 big onion chopped up small.
2-4 cloves of garlic (depending on likes) chopped up
1/2 cup cilantro chopped up

optional: 2-3 avocado (this is my favorite part!)

Combine in a bowl and stir. Serve with chips or great on grilled salmon.

Here I am again buying more digi stuff. Christina Renee is my new found designer. Her style is very unique and grungy, so I did purchase her skinny minis (ribbons) to take a closer look. And another Beauty Marks Vol.3 from 2 sisters designs. Everything they have is just beautiful. I also got 2 items from Catscrap since they have a sale this week for their anniversary celebration. Birgit's Alpha is really rockin' and Catrine's Aged Frames as well.
This is just another fab week for me and hope more scrapping in the next few days.
Happy Weekend!

I am married to a foreigner,so my answers are based on what I saw and observed in my husband. (Not in general)
Are Filipino guys more traditional?If so,does that mean their values are more intact than foreigners?

Is the stereotype true that Westerners have less sense of spirituality?
I can't say in general that they have less sense of spiritually. It's really up to the person. Westerners or not!


What about a foreigner's view of commitment in a relationship?
Well he is 6 years married to me now and of course it's a commitment. Right how he does everything he can to build a more stronger relationship and is very committed.
Family is very important to him so he really has a positive view of this thing.

How are they as mates are they jealous and possessive?
None of these describes hubby and no way a relationship will ever survive if your partner is jealous and possessive. Trust is the key to a great companionship! Believe me.

Is it true that normally a stronger woman is better off with a foreigner?
Hmmm.... i'm purely sensitive and could be weak sometimes. But everything seem to work out well between me and hubby. There's really nothing to be scared of at all. He is my other half and he takes care of me no matter what.

So here's my menu for this week:

Monday: Baked Tilapia with caesar dressing,steamed white rice and strawberry crepes
Tuesday: Fried rice,grilled spicy chicken,sauteed squash,and sliced pineapples
Wednesday: Grilled Alaskan Coho Salmon, mashed potatoes,peas/carrots,and water melon
Thursday: Tuna with Mango Salsa,steamed rice,seasoned green beans and Cinnamon Apples
Friday: Grilled Beef Fajitas,tortillas,baked Beans, and vanilla ice cream with homemade brownie.

Have you seen Corina Neilsen's grab bag? Jam packed with goodies you gotta check it out. Love2x everything in the grab bag. Scrappers can never really have enough!
Other digi stuff I bought today!

Last night was the season finale of SYTYCD and Sabra was anointed to be America's Favorite Dancer.
It was also great seeing my favorite routines again especially from Sarah and Lacey. I think all top 10 dancers were just amazing and I know after the show they all have great careers to look forward to. Though they didn't make it to the final 2 Lacey and Sarah are still my favorites this season. How I wish to have an inch of their skills,but no I am too far from being gifted hehe. Wouldn't it be awesome to see the tour LIVE?

Gosh,I have neglected my blog again. Not that I want to,but I am pretty much loaded with my " To Do List" this month. Now that I am planning to go back to school in September and I haven't completed yet the requirements to register,so I'll work on it this week and hope I'll be done in no time. I really don't have much to say. Thanks for visiting me as always!

ETA:
My other blog has been deleted can't keep up both ,so add this one instead.
