Another Dress Refashion

No one is that busy. Its just a matter of prioritizing things. So I won't make excuses why its been a while since I've done a refashion. I guess I've been a little uninspired but I have been doing little repairs every now and then. Until I found this:

When I found it I knew I can make a better use of it. Like making it more wearable. :) So first stop, cutting the garter.

Second stop, cutting it into two pieces of rectangular fabrics like these:

Then, the V neckline.

Now time for some real sewing! First the shoulders, then the sides.

I'm not happy with the length so I make it a little shorter.

There you have it! A kimonoish kind of dress. Go try it! :)

On Being Angry

(Random Post muna...)

When I open my FB account today, the first thing I read was this word "T*ngna, blah blah blah." For me, it's just not right. Don't get me wrong. I respect that person's post. I'm pro expression of emotions. Why do you think I have two blogs? I write here everything I feel, my opinions, and once in a while my emotions. And I am not a hypocrite to say I don't get angry! In fact, I used to be very very very angry to the world. I used to blame everyone but myself in my failures. I used to question God's interference in my life. I USED to be that kind of person. Then I came across this quote:

"He who angers you, conquers you."

I don't want to be conquered by people, things, trials, problems that angered me. I am mightier than any of them. I learn to let go of petty angst that can overpower my whole being. And you know what? I've never been happier and contented with my life.

I am not saying don't get angry! But please choose your battle. Choose what anger would conquer you. Me? I am angry at those who take the lives of others because they think they are God! I am mad at corrupt officials! I am enraged to child molesters! I am furious with all the rapist and snatchers and holdapers and gangs and riding-in-tandems! And I hate ebola virus!

And yeah, just so you know, I don't like profanity too especially when we know FB is not for adult only these days. Not cool. So next time, you got angry, just CHILL!!!

And you're done!

My Christmas List

I'm the type of person who is very outspoken when it comes to gifts. For example, when Riley celebrated his first birthday, I gave our guests choices of what to give. It's more practical that way because first, it was what Riley needed most and second, it would sure be put to good use. Also, they won't have to think hard on what to give my son, right? Its a win-win situation! I'm not ashamed to tell people what present/s I want because I don't want to end up with stuff I don't need.

That being said, I won't play hard to get this Christmas! I'm writing this list so you can have ideas on what I want on this season of giving (and receiving!). I could buy all these myself but if you like to give me any of these, sino ba naman ako para tumanggi? :)
