Mike borrowed GH3 from his colleague, who is currently on vacation, to try it out since we can't seem to find it in the stores. We only got it yesterday. I played it since I woke up this morning and now I see things bending and moving upwards. Hahaha! I got to finish the medium level the whole afternoon and I don't think I will be playing hard level anytime soon. My left wrist and fingers are tired and I think I may be getting a headache but it's very addictive. I'm a fanatic - what can I say? It's hard to stop! It's really cool, though! But that Knights of Cydonia song annoyed me so much, I decided to ignore it. I couldn't even finish it. Sigh. I did get 4 stars in a couple of songs but I'm not stopping until I get 5 stars in most of the songs I like. Need to practice some more!

Then Mike showed me this video of a woman rockin' 'Through Fire and Flames' on hyperspeed with 5 stars. Madness!!!

I don't think I will ever get to that level because when I tried a song in hard level, I didn't even get passed the intro. lol

2. The swap is on a monthly basis. You will be assigned a swap partner on rotation. Consult the meme that your partner posted on his/her blog and send 4 items.

3. The three items are as follows (1-something you made, 2-a craft material you think he/she would enjoy and 3- a snack or something you like munching on before, during or after the creative rush---It'd be nice to send something interesting from where you are currently based, 4- a short note or card to say 'Hi!')

4. Items should be posted on the last day of each month.

5. Wait to receive your items and then post something about it on your blog.

Remember the love goblet entry when I said I was gonna do a birthday giveaway? Well, the time is NOW!

I needed the time to hunt for cute little things to give away. Things that associate to me. Things that I like and make me happy. Things that when you see them, you will think of me. I am done with the hunting and, to spice it up a bit, I'm adding a couple of my handmade goodies.



{This is just one of them. A recently made Gracelette earrings made of vintage lucite beads and sterling silver finds. Because I'm so into pink and blue right now.}

Now here's the catch. You have to answer a question. Don't worry, it's not difficult. Well, not so much. It just requires some thinking, a bit of luck and guesswork.

So here goes: What did I want to be when I was growing up?

The first one who answers it right, wins the goodie bag!

You only get to answer once so think real hard before you press that enter button. Will announce the winner in the weekend. If no one wins, there will be a second round.

Good luck!

SleepyJane tagged me a while ago and it's about time I play along.

The rules are - once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with ten weird random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end you choose ten people to be tagged. No tag backs!

Ten Weird Random things/facts/habits about me:

1. I don't like looking down at pavements with dried up gum. It makes my brain cringe. lol

2. The dirty dishes have to be arranged before I wash them, and I wash them in a certain order. I hate seeing utensils in between plates or glasses lying down.

3. I always make up expressions because I like to be original. When they get popular with friends and family, I forget that I made them up.

4. Sometimes I laugh without any sound.

5. Shortened text messages annoy me. I don't mind the occasional "ur" or "u" but if the whole text message is comprised of 90% consonants, I won't read it.

6. I buy journals but never write in them. Since I started blogging four years ago, I stopped writing in a real diary. I've accumulated quite a number of journals and notebooks that are just waiting to be used.

7. I love sad songs and sad singing voices. They make me feel calm and sad in a happy way.

8. Occasionally, I buy from the teen section in H&M because I love the fit, plus they're cheaper and girly!

9. I can smell a smelly foot from far away. My tiny nose is sensitive with this kind of smell.

10. I have been (still am) more statically charged the last couple of months. I haven't quite figured out why it happens exactly. But I have it a lot when I touch the sink, a shirt Mike is wearing, sometimes Mike himself, my mac and mouse, the light switches, the tv, car door handles, just about anything actually, even rubber which I find really weird. You can even hear a zap sound when it happens. Maybe I have a supernatural power I haven't yet discovered. Hmm.. who knows?

I'm tagging:

Odette
