Don’t you just love getting packages from different parts of the world? I know I do!

I got home yesterday night with a package waiting for me by the bar table. I was confused though, I haven’t ordered anything that was scheduled to arrive that day. And I didn’t order anything from Singapore either. I figured out what it was the minute I carried the box though! (See lower-right photo) I LOVE IT.

The rest of the photos are from a package I was expecting to arrive tomorrow night. It’s basically just a couple of item samples from New Jersey. I am having fun touching the paper from all the books they sent me. I never thought I would find happiness in various paper swatches. Hahaha *weird* And of course, the folding guides! Who knew such a thing existed? I didn’t and I’m ecstatic now that I have one.

Speaking of folding guides, I should really start working on that brochure for the school elections. I’ll be back in my blogging mojo as soon as I get election stuff out of the way. :)

P.S. If you’re wondering how I get to have high-resolution images on my blog, I upload them via Flickr. Get the Share code for the size you wish and remove the width and height values :-)

If you’ve ever tried to take a peek at my hard drive, you would see that I have way too many folders of just about everything. That includes design resources, ebooks, fonts, etc. I have a whole folder dedicated to fashion-related items as well. Within that folder is a couple more folders sorted very weirdly. It has come to my senses that I’ve been saving way too many pictures and doing nothing with them, aside from browsing through them occasionally. 

What else should I do with them?

I know I did a bunch of Font Fridays last year, but it didn’t push through. It’s pretty hard looking for new fonts every week. What I’m doing this time is digging from my own font collection, and sharing with you guys the ones I really like.

I’m doing it alphabetically this time, and maybe not weekly. Maybe once in every two weeks. This week’s roster includes typefaces from the A and B family.

I can’t remember where I downloaded/bought these fonts though, so just feel free to do a quick Google search for their names. I know they’ll show up.

The above picture is a family tradition. Every time we have a reunion, we either leave footprints or handprints in cement and leave it as stone steps in the garden. The last time we got to do this was in 2005, and we weren’t even complete that time.

The primary reason we allwent back to Iloilo was to celebrate Lola’s 90th birthday. We did celebrate it here in Manila with just the family but she wanted to celebrate with her friends and family back home.

We flew back not knowing what was going to happen except for the few planned trips. My cousins and I have never really “bonded” before so I didn’t expect anything to happen. I was in for a surprise.
