The Arts and Crafts Week

It’s been one hell of a week. First week without a nanny. This means having no time to rest, no time for watching tv, and no time for going out. Then here comes my sister, leaving her three precocious kids on our doorstep while she and her husband goes gallivanting the land of white-sand beaches, delicious gigantic home-made shakes, and idyllic Boracay. What the heck?!! I haven’t even had a proper summer vacation myself! And I had one weekend planned destroyed, shredded, and crushed to oblivion because of it. Grrr! I’d wring her neck if she wasn’t my sister and if Sophie-girl wasn’t such a cute and funny little kid who showed off her dancing prowess and pointed to her head whenever you ask, “Where’s your bukol?” Oh well, so much for ranting. They only stayed for four days. It was fun for me and Wacky got to spend time with his cousins.

On the work front, things haven’t been as busy the last few weeks. This means having a lot of idle time on our hands. So aside from the many mini-projects they’ve cooked up for us to do, some of the designers and writers decided to do some arts and crafts ranging from readymechs to origami. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out the different folding techniques and seeing how this piece of square paper can turn into a dog, a bird, a dinosaur, and even a pokemon. LOL.

On my way home I passed by Trinoma, at this everything 10 pesos store I bought 3 coloring books, colored pencils, and a box of crayons for Wacky and me. It’s cool. The coloring books look great. It doesn’t even look like it’s only 10 pesos! I think I might have to go back to buy some more.
