My Christmas Wreath Card

Last Thursday, i was able to make my own version of Christmas Card with Christmas Wreath as center of attraction, this is to address the requirement of our Filipino 2 project before vacation.

Here is the idea on how to make a CHRISTMAS WREATH CARD:

Materials:
Crepe Paper (any color will do, but i prefer green)
Used Card Board or Folder (any color, but i use white)
Used Ribbon (actually, i got my ribbon from our Christmas tree)
Felt Paper (any color but i use red)
Used neon color paper or art papers
gold dust
Scissor
White Glue
Glue gun with Glue Stick
Pencil

Steps:

For the Christmas Wreath
1. Trace a donut-like shape using pencil and clear out the inside circle
2. Cut the crepe paper to any small size

3. Paste the cut crepe paper in the way that it will looks like a small leaves that stick together.

4. Cut a used ribbon and twirl it around the donut-like structure which is full of crepe paper already
5. Sprinkle the ribbon with gold dust

6. Finish the Christmas Wreath with a two-layered ribbon attached to the top left of it.

For the Christmas Card
1. Trace a circle shape in the cover page of the card which is at the upper right of it. After which, take the circle out of the card creating a hole.
2. Cover the front page with felt paper. You may do it as a whole but in my case i only covered the center diagonal part of the page and i covered the rest with a printed Christmas style of felt paper.
3. Put a diagonal layered of used ribbon in the bottom right part and upper left of the card.

4. And now attach the Christmas wreath in the hole we made earlier.
5. And in the space found at the bottom left, you may style it with printed greetings or manually pen it.

Inside the Christmas Card.
1. Cut a candle like structures using the used card board with different heights and position them in the way that they can be seen when the Christmas card is close through the hole we made.
2. Twirl a used ribbon or art paper around the candles.
3. Use an art paper colored yellow and cut them into a fire-like shape and paste them under and at the top of the candles
3. finish the candle design with a half ribbon below it.

4. Put Christmas message or dedication beside the candle

There you go, here is what i call Christmas Wreath Card. My Teacher like it very much so with my friends and classmates and they did not believe that i made it with all by myself, but in reality, the ribbon i put in my Christmas wreath was made by my friend here in the company.

In addition to this Christmas season, i bought a Motorola w230 as a gift to my brother who is going to finish his high school year by March next year. This will serve as my Christmas and Graduation gift to him and he liked it very much. Actually, that is his first cellphone ever, because in the previous years, i am so strict when it comes to study and education that’s why i never bought him CP until yesterday.

My Gift to my Brother

Before i draft this post, i also done wrapping gifts for my inaanak, to my mother, lola and nanay. And for the rest, i will do it by tomorrow, since i need to rush again to SM or any mall because my little brother want a bicycle as his Christmas gift from me. Oh my! i will lost all my savings but i believe it worth it coz i love them very much.

Once again, to my readers, blogmates and friends, I love you and Happy holidays!

PS: I would like to thanks my Auntie for giving me a pair of flip-flop slippers from Penshoppe. She really did know what brand i like most. aheheh

July 13 2008: Simala Miracle

i got a video from my officemate last Monday, and because of a hectic schedule, i have not posted it. So, the story was, she said she received the original video from her relative who happen to be his company during the Simala visit last July 13, 2008, Sunday. Her relative reported that they saw a portrait of Senior Sto. Nino in the glass cover of the Holy Virigin of Simala.

these are some screenshots i made from the video…

See it?

And after i saw it, i was stopped and thought, there was really a Miracle. See the full video HERE

CIT..here i come!

WOW! Clarence asked me if i am anxious this coming Tuesday (First day of class of SY 2008-2009) and i answered, “i’m not”..what i really feel right now is that i am worried if i can make it with my very hectic schedule.. i ask myself if i can still manage to take a bath before going to school or to work…and i am worried because for sure, STRESS will come to my life again! but i feel challenged because THIS IS IT! this is my opportunity to finish school with bachelor degree! one day to go…help me GOD.

Well, earlier today i went and shopped at PENSHOPPE booth inside GAISANO, MACTAN located at Pusok, Lapu-lapu City, a 10-15 minutes drive away from the company i am working currently. At first, i planned to buy boxer briefs, handekerchiefs, bags (one for school and one for work) and a jeans. But when i checked my wallet, i only saw 1000.00 PHP…damm! how can i manage to buy those things..grrrrrrrr! so i decided to prioritize my priorities, i bought these things!

Penshoppe items which i bought with my 1000.00 pesos cash in wallet..lol
more SHOTS here ..

First, i bought a PENSHOPPE sling bag for MEN, and there is a story behind this..lol
It goes like this..I was shy when the salesMAN come to me and ask if i am part of a local band. My mind played around thinking if i will say yes and ask if what band they are describing to.. but i am just so honest and replied..”no i am not, im just an ordinary lad who loves music but music NEVER loves me”..with that answer, the salesMAN laughed and his co-worker a damn hot sales lady come to us closer and then said and asked..”what happen to you two..what the topic?” (she laughed) then asked again..”hello sir, are you part of a local band here?” …
Whhhhahaaaaatttt? what the hell are they saying.. i am just a TALL, DARK and UGLY individual..damn! are they joking or what? but mind you, the two are very serious for that question since they keep on asking such during my stay there looking for PENSHOPPE handkerchief and a HAND BAG.

PENSHOPPE sling bag for MEN..very cool in just PHP 679.00..

PENSHOPPE hand bag in just PHP 379.00

PENSHOPPE handkerchiefs, in just PHP 89.00 each..cool indeed!

so i hurriedly went to the counter present my SLING BAG(men) , 2 pieces of handkerchief and a HAND BAG.. even though there is a separate clerk or i may say a CASHIER, the salesMAN replaced her and did the typing/encoding of the items.. after such, he then said..”Thank you for shopping here at PENSHOPPE sir, please be back always..” then i replied “sure, if i need something…thanks anways!” and when i am about to go, the salesMAN asked in follow-up “sir, i really want to know if you are part of a local band..” and then a quick response came out in my mouth..”promise, i am not”.. i then went out!

huh! those experienced keep my mind thinking what band are they referring to..but anyways, i am so happy that i have bought those things and i do not know but i believe that i am ready for this School year… good luck to all schoolers out there!
