Trying to Be Productive and Creative

Last Wednesday I read an entry from Free People Clothing Boutique Blog (courtesy of Honestly..WTF) about this cute fabric-embellished journals and so I decided to create my own.

Materials I used:

1. hair clip and yarn - I used it to sew the papers together

2. brown paper - I covered my notebook because it has prints on its cover that'll definitely ruin the look

3. old cloth

4. Scissors

5. Needle and thread - used to sew the cloth to the brown paper

How?
1. I cut the brown paper according to my notebook's size
2. (I forgot to measure the width of the cloth against the width of the notebook, such a dummy) I sew the cloth to the brown paper. I suggest you glue the cloth first before sewing to maintain its proper place.
3. Cover the notebook with the brown paper sewn with cloth.

Remember:
The margin should at least be symmetrical on the other side. The bigger the margin, the nicer it looks. (I failed on this one!) Look at my finished product.--->

I'm just a little sad that my work didn't turn out well :( Maybe because I didn't drink Minute Maid while doing the stuff. Oh well...

This is how it should look

Pulp That's No Mess

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe it's just the usual false advertisement. But I recalled how it taste then I'm convinced that it really got no preservatives! For living 20 years and eating almost everything with preservatives I sure know when I'm eating something fresh or just no added preservs.

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added. So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED! That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse carcinogens! Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I will definitely want this drink to be in market until eternity!

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means you won't feel like you're already dead and somebody's trying to preserve you just like those freaky house wall decors of preserved animals!

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna buy you a dozen! It's a treat! Come on! I'm famous for not being generous!

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

ID.EGO.SUPEREGO. - A Review

Since I was a child, I was exposed to some rock alternative bands thanks to my big sister. That's the genre I grew up with. So when I grow older and she's already living her life almost always away from me and I, trying to figure myself out I managed to remain her influences with me. It became my guide. However, in my opinion when you mature personally and intellectually you'll figure out by yourself that you need to be more open minded to enjoy life and taste its different flavors. That's when I expose myself to different genre and different clothing style and different way of thinking. My playlist grew bigger ranging from Beetles to Ramones to Bob Marley to Beyonce to Jason Mraz and it and it will goes on. And when I checked this album out, I was awed!

The Calcul8n's Id.Ego.Superego.

Cohen's evolving music has reached its most epic level, yet. Id.Ego.Superego. is something you want to listen to when you're stuck in a traffic jam especially here in Manila and the rain is pouring. The music is soothing, his voice is reverberating with its lyrics inside my head even when I already turned off my player. This album is always giving me something that I can't figure out. Something that even other famous bands, artists, musicians cannot give me. It tries to go with every fiber in your being dissecting your life especially with your love life. It will made you think about your past relationship and your present and your future and you'll just smile.

Five thumbs up The Calcul8n!

I'm looking forward to review PaulKristian's songs. *I hope he could give me a free copy too.* 

P.s
If you want to buy a copy of Id.Ego.Superego. just let me know by emailing me at letterdiary@aol.com or at greenteerecords@gmail.com. We'll send it, even you're a thousand miles away!

Have you heard about corrective rape?

Since I've been very busy these past few weeks (obviously) I never had the time to check my other online accounts such as Tumblr and Twitter. Though, I religiously update my Facebook account for no special reason. So back to the topic, I recently logged in my Tumblr and read about this shocking article.

It's about a woman who's a victim of the so-called corrective rape. Wherein, lesbians is the target victim. People who perform this malicious and stupid practice tries to straighten known lesbian by raping them and worst, some even mutilates the genitals. This senseless practice torture is widely known in South Africa and still goes on.  The only thing we can do now is to sign a petition to get the attention of their authorities.

SIGN THE PETITION HERE!

Let us pray for the victims and pray that this will come to an end sooner.
