Zoe got to watch High School Musical 3!

Zoe watched the latest installment to High School Musical. We watched the first screening on its first day in cinemas! How excited is that?!

She might be sad and sleepy on this picture, but I can say that she enjoyed watching the movie. She got so "kilig" when it's a scene of Troy and Gabriella. I'm not so sure if I should be alarmed by this or not. She's 3 years old and she's aware about the boy-girl attraction. Well, I can not tell her that it is bad, because it isn't. Media really plays a powerful role in a child's development. I guess the best thing that I can do is to guide her and explain things to her as she sees them on TV or in the ads. Parental Guidance is indeed recommended.

Water Lilies....what about them?

I've been playing with photoshop the other day, and this is the result I got. I did not have available pictures to edit at that time, so I just chose one that's in my laptop... so lazy to turn on the router... :)

I really love these new brushes that I've got from Brusheezy. They're so nice! It brings out the girl in me...haha! I was planning to use the same color combination that I've seen in the website, but then Zoe got in the way. She wanted to use various colors which explains the resulting design. Anyway, it's not bad though, right?

Toy Crazy Zoe

The pictures above were taken two weeks ago when we watched Narnia. As usual, my husband went inside a toy store. While waiting, Zoe noticed the toys at the display window. Every time we go to this store, she's always saying "Mommy, can you buy me those pink accessories for my Barbie dolls?" Then I will say, "May be next time, baby."

Bon Voyage Lelyn!

Today is the day that our friend, Glen Lelyn Quan, is going to leave for Japan. She will work there and who knows when she'll be going back to the Philippines?!

I will miss her, and I know that most of our friends will miss her, too. This girl is someone you can always count on. Behind her demure way of showing her feminism is a very strong personality that is influential to everybody she meets. I know that the Japanese people who'll get to know her will notice that, too.

Go Lel! Make your mark in Japan, but do not forget to go back home every six months? or every year?

Just keep us posted:)

Astral Dreamy ZOE

I made this photo last month using the Astral Flora brushes from brusheezy.

I got so excited about this set of brushes that I did not think of a better way of using them.

I will practice on this one.

To achieve the coloration used in my photo, please follow these steps (made by luciferous-glow):

1: Make a layer with a black background.
2: Make a new layer that is blank.
3: On this blank layer use the brushes in white.
4: Make a new layer, set the blending mode to Overlay.
5: Using soft round brushes of different sizes and colors, paint into this layer and you will the color show up over the flora brushes on the layer beneath.

To make the colors brighter, duplicate or copy the layer with the bright colors, or set the blending mode to Hard Light.

Pretty in Yellow

Look at how big you've grown already. You're now posing for the camera and giving your most demure smile. You are so pretty in your yellow dress.

You mean everything to me

My husband gave me a set of brushes and patterns today. I tried it out and here's what I've done for tonight. This photo was one of the first shots I took using my new camera. I really love Photoshop and my new gadget!
