Mind Museum...to the Moon & Back

Mind Museum is a well-anticipated, world class Science museum in the Philippines. The below information is taken from their site that I am excited to bring Colin soon. :) For now, I can only read up on it and relate to what my nephew saw/went through during his recent class field trip. 


Mind Museum is the FIRST WORLD-CLASS SCIENCE MUSEUM in the Philippines. It will be our defining legacy that will give the next generation the wings to fly against the challenge of a future shaped largely by service and technology. With over 250 inter-active “minds-on” and hands-on exhibits, the museum will be a venue that will present science as entertaining, fun, and engaging. 


The Mind Museum’s state of the art design will feature FIVE GALLERIES within its two levels:

• The Story of the Universe: Its Beginning and Majesty 
• The Story of the Earth: Its Story Across the Breadth of Time 
• The Story of Life: The Exuberant Varieties of Life 
• The Story of the Atom: The Strange World of the Very Small 
• The Story of Technology: The Showcase of Human Ingenuity 

Perfect for some of the photos that my nephew recently shared with me fits Mari and Sugarplum Paperie's kit - To the Moon & Back.

This is my nephew, Jeremy, during one of his class field trips to the Mind Museum, Fort. It was a cool adventure for him and his whole class!

Cars & Boys

Summer in Manila is officially over with June entering in so things are getting pretty humid again. I'm happy with the change in weather and especially when one has an active little boy at home.

I was able to squeeze in some scrap time while I watch our little boy take his afternoon nap. When asked if I missed working, I would remember this moment and tell them "no". A priceless decision to see my son grow up because when he starts school, it will all be so different. :P Random outings will be a thing of the past and sleeping in our bed would be a thing of the past by then.

I've been meaning to find the right kit to scrap C's first swim experience with his Auntie/A-Ko. I'm glad that I found it today...a great year-round essentials kit called Today the collection by Mari Koegelenberg available at SSD, is the perfect kit to show the fun side of what happened just this month for C.

Also something to check out is alphas by Mari Koegelenberg that I was able to use for my layout below called Oh Woodsy No. 1.

Berry Sweet Summer!

It's summer and it's uber hot here...I'm always with a water bottle in my hand. Feeling under the weather so it's even harder to be in good spirits these days. So in order to make me feel better, I scrap to a happy kit! Check out Mari Koegelenberg's Berry Sweet kit newly release at SDD. The kit oozes with berry goodness that would make anyone feel better, even if it's just for a few minutes.

I hardly scrap photos of myself but it's to remember a dear photographer friend of mine who was able to capture my playful side back when I have just finish given birth...so even with sleepless nights, I still looked fresh and pretty. Hahahaha!

Freshly Picked ~ Citi family

It's been about 6 months since I stopped working. I thought I would be bored out of my mind with home life but I haven't felt that yet. I realized that my friend, Ginni, was right - once you take out the work...there is always something else to do that would take as much priority as the work.  I think Colin appreciates that I'm constantly at home and have the energy to play with him more during our evening games...I hope. :P

But on the side, I remember my old co-workers at Citi that has been part of my career development for close to a decade. It's amazing to be working at a company wherein a "team" is meant as something and we all function as a unit than just an individual. There's a lot of cooperation and teamwork that it oozes from all corners of our office. This is the Citi culture that may or may not work for everyone here in MNL but it has with me for all these years.

I can say that each of them are a "cut-above-the rest" and are definitely "Citi Picked".

I could see no better kit to scrap than Mari Koegelenberg's Freshly Picked kit available at SSD.

The papers and elements all exude specially picked/chosen quality...that's the people of Citi.

Horey for the CITI!!!!
