			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised, here is the second model shots from the strobist class that hubby attended last December. I actually forgot to post these pictures already. Luckily, while I was searching for some files about <a href="http://www.2insure4less.com/">insurance quotes</a> I saw these pictures again and it came to mind that I haven&#8217;t posted about the second part yet. I think these shots were taken at the instructor&#8217;s place in Makati. While the first part was shot inside the studio, this part was taken at the rooftop (or so I think).</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I was wondering how tiring it is during a model shoot. With a lot of photographer students trying to take shots of a model, it may be kind of difficult to get all the shots you want. Aside from the fact that others have better equipments than the rest. Maybe it&#8217;s part of what he should learn too?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">He&#8217;s so looking forward to another strobist class. I don&#8217;t know why but he&#8217;s so fond at taking portrait shots. Unlike me who wants to simply just capture the moment, he wants everything directed, planned and perfectly captured. Oh well, he&#8217;s still on the learning process so I can&#8217;t just simply think he&#8217;ll be like that forever. Things can change and who knows, he&#8217;ll be better even before I knew it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proven-effective stress buster is to do things that you love to do. Even if it’s tiring, you will feel relaxed and free from all those worries.</p>
<p>Today, I was able to complete a couple of mini kits for the International Digital Scrapbooking Day. I’ve completed 3 collaboration kits for December, 3 blog train minis and a couple of quick pages. I’ve done absolutely everything that needs to be completed before November 21. Ahhh, relief!</p>
<p>Yeah, had a little backache but I ended up satisfied. I plan to take some time off from wedding coordination and I think this will be a better substitute. I love weddings but the time it needs conflict with my job and I can’t always get time off from the office to attend to it. My 2 remaining weddings will be my last.</p>
<p>Today is another day – in a very stressful environment called “office”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With everything I am doing!</p>
<p>As you can see, there are a few posts here. I must admit, I haven’t been updating this blog as frequently as before. I am still adjusting my time between work, home, blogging and digital scrapbooking. Not to mention, I also have weddings to take care of!</p>
<p>Sigh! It’s tiring but I am very very happy!</p>
<p><strong>At Work</strong></p>
<p>I have improved, compared to my first 2 years in the company. I seldom take leave now, even though I am so tired and restless. I go to the office everyday with hubby who just started to learn how to drive. I get my work done and I accomplish a lot of things. Very much happy that my boss is happy that I am there working for the project. I’ve been through a terrible situation way back June and I almost lost the battle. It isn’t over yet and I am still struggling, trying to prove to everyone that I will not be faltered by that incident and that I will redeem myself.</p>
<p><strong>At Home</strong></p>
<p>I’m still a mom. I still give time to my kids and sometime they demand that I take care of them. I don’t cook now (glad that my sis-in-law does it). The kids are growing and I don’t want to be missing their growing up years so despite of being busy, I have to be with them too! We seldom go out. Despite having a car now, I still have to manage the budget and be able to pay the bills on time. I assume you know what I am talking about <img src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p><strong>On Blogging</strong></p>
<p>This is were I slack off recently. And I think I have to improve. My page rank is still intact and I don’t want to ruin it. I’ve worked so hard for it and I am actually planning on running a contest for my birthday and oh I need sponsors! If you want to become one, let me know. I am looking for cash donations and ad spots!</p>
<p><strong>On Scrapbooking</strong></p>
<p>I took a little break from traditional scrapbooking. It’s too expensive for me and I don’t want to compete with the expenses my husband is spending for his hobby. I continued digital scrapbooking though and I became a creative team members for 3 designers and I have become a site CT for My Life and Scraps. I get kits for free in return so I spend less <img src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> There’s been a lot of improvements on my <a href="http://scraplikecrazy.com/">scrap blog</a> and I have very happy about it. Visit me there and you’ll find out why I am so busy <img src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p><strong>On Weddings</strong></p>
<p>I have 2 weddings on schedule – January and May 2010. I am so looking forward to it. The latter is a Full Coordination so I am still working every month on getting things done with her suppliers and vendors.</p>
<p>It’s an overall happy experience to be needed and be appreciated. I have never felt like this in my entire life and even though I wanted to take a break, I can’t do so because I know others are already depending on me and I must not disappoint them.</p>
<p>What about you? What’s keeping you busy? And how do you handle your responsibilities?</p>
