Alex turned 3mths last week. Now he smiles more and has became more interactive. He's a sweet boy and we just love him more and more. :) I wish I can say that I have lost more weight but it has been stagnant since last month! :( With him getting bigger, it's time to work out something for my life... Life as a sahm is pretty boring!

After moving past illness, I am spreading my wings a little more this week. I've had lots and lots of ideas that sort of keep me awake at night. I remember when Gameboys first hit the scene and I was a teenager (you can guess my age now)... I played that darn Tetris game till I was seeing shapes in my sleep. Well, it is that way now, only it's splatters of paint, flecks of pastel and drops of ink that dance across my eyes. I'm not kidding. Maybe it is some sort of condition. Ha. After a hike a couple days ago, I am intrigued by some native colors/shapes I was privileged to observe. We'll see where they appear in sketch and paint.
Here's some fun news. I AM going ahead with a show next month, Friday, August 1st, 2008. The show runs 5 pm - 9ish during the downtown ArtWalk in Flagstaff, AZ. I'll tell more details as the date gets closer. If you're around then, well, just pop on by. You can see my stuff in real life and nibble on goodies. I might make some home-made cookies, and I promise good wine. ;-) I have had thoughts about whether to frame my work, but alas, my budget isn't made of gold, so, I am opting for a nifty bohemian show, very eclectic. I will be generous and show lots of paintings, a collection of sketches and am even considering doing a very large india ink illustration to cover one wall. I had initially planned on a two-man show with my darling and uber-talented friend and artist, but she has been beckoned by another local gallery on the same night. So it is up in the air whether we hoof it together or not. Either way, it will be an interesting evening. I'll link to her gallery at a later date as she is still getting that all together.
What I have here is a collection of lots of ideas, study paintings and sneak peeks of a largish project I am working on:

I realised today that situation has improved in my life, especially communication with my mother that I once thought it's impossible to get through to her. Then I was despondent about an argument with the hubb, and who would know that our CG leader and mate had an uninitiated, out of the blue man-to-man talk among the three of him. Immediately, hubb became more self aware and changed his ways which pleases me quite a fair bit. Somemore today's sermon topic on a man's role is so right for him. God moves in His mysterious ways. Whenever we have a need, He meets our needs swiftly. Praise God!
Ok, I am tired after the weekend's activities. Nevermind me if I don't make sense. :) Just counting my blessings... which of coz includes our little bundle of joy who has just turned 3mths old! :)
I was finally able to take semi-decent pics of him yesterday.
I totally loooove walking him around the neighborhood. When people look at him they get scared ('cos he's awfully big) and at the same time they talk about how pretty he is!

Oh Well
By: Boyz II Men
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lonely
Longing to be with you only
Maybe there still is a way
I could find you and say just how I feel
Ooh...ooh...
I can’t believe that it’s over
Wish somehow I could have showed her
All that was inside my heart
‘Stead of playin’ the games, you might have stayed
(Yeah, yeah)
Funny just the other night
I was thinkin’
And wondered if you ever think
About me
I call you on the phone
There’s no answer
Oh, well
There’s still tomorrow
Oh, well
I’ll try again
Oh, well
Maybe, just maybe
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lonely
Longing to be with you only
If there’s a way I could beg you to stay
Would you please stay with me
I was thinkin’ maybe I
Could come over
Hoping we could find a way
Work this out
Even if tonight we don’t
Don’t find an answer
Oh, well
There’s still tomorrow
Oh, well
I’ll try again
Oh, well
Maybe, just maybe
Woo...well
If I had another chance
We would stand hand in hand
You’d be my girl and I’d be your man
Oh, well
Maybe, just maybe we can
I still call you on the phone
Still no answer Baby, you don’t wanna try
One more time
Or am I just a fool
To keep tryin’
Oh, well
There’s still tomorrow
Oh, well
A fool’s what I am
Oh, well
Maybe, just maybe
Oh...well
There’s still tomorrow
Oh...oh...oh...oh....oh...
Oh, well
Maybe, just maybe
See, if I got down on my knees
And give you every little part of me
Oh, well (Oh, well)
There’s still tomorrow
Oh, well (Oh...well)
I’ll try again
Oh, well (I’ll take you and I’ll hold you)
Maybe, just maybe (Just maybe)
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lonely
So not good.

Have a great day!
Made of Honor last night with my sister.
We didn't go through with the plan that I posted about. Well first because her free passes couldn't be used for the new releases, and second because I got so exhausted with the panic-shopping I did for the shower. When we found out we couldn't watch Made of Honor, we got tickets to see Sex and the City. Now I'm feeling stupid for telling her that we should skip it because I was too tired (and I had to wake up really early the next day 'cos I had my time changed from 8-5 to 6-2---for the shower! so I could leave work early and prepare). Evecar said that SATC the movie was nice and that I should've watched it. Well, maybe I'll get a DVD or wait for it to get shown on Star Movies or Cinemax.
Anyway, back to Made of Honor. It's a typical romantic flick. No surprises, no anything out of the ordinary. Patrick Dempsey is HOT and so is Michelle Monaghan. I swear if I were a guy I would be totally crushing on her! I already am crushing on her! Patrick and Michelle were what I liked about the movie. They were the reasons I wanted to watch it. MIchelle mostly. I wish that there was more to the movie. I wish it could've made me cry or something. There were some funny scenes, but it barely got me laughing. Oh, well. After the movie my sister yapped about how we should've just watched Get Smart instead of Made of Honor. I told her we could if she paid for it. Hehehe. I'm not a Steve Carrell fan. I don't find him funny and I didn't want to get annoyed watching Get Smart, expecting it to be funny, but not getting any laughs or anything from it.
