Personal Notes #1: Start of Something New

This would be my first post for the year 2012.

I came to a point where I want to stop updating this blog because of time constraint since I'm working more than 8 hours in a telecommunication company in the Philippines. In the office, I'm working with lots of numbers, statistics and graphs that at night, I only want to relax and stop thinking and analyzing of anything.

But you cannot stop liking and loving things you used to love and adore. I always admire seeing beautiful, heavenly smelled papers. I love the scent of a new book. I even love to write. Whenever I go to the mall alone, I never forget to visit a bookstore without noticing hours of just inspecting books and papers. I also dreamed of having my own bookstore and a Papelmeroti-like shop. Lots of reasons that keeps me believing that someday this blog will be known and will be appreciated by many for producing creative paper works.

And so I decided to have this blog for as long as I breathe life. ♥

And for this year 2012, I welcome you with new template! Have a fun reading. :)

Yours Truly,

Love Letter in Creative Ways #1

Let me share to you my boyfriend's anniversary gift to me as my first post on Love Letters. I consider this not a scrapbook but rather a very creative Love Letter. My purpose of posting this is to give you idea on how to be more creative in creating Love Letters to your special someone.

This is the overall view of his Love Letter. On the upper side is the word I Love You. At the bottom is the Happy Anniversary message while on the right side is my name. His letter begins on each letter of my name.

He put our mini pictures on three corners of the board.

See our mini pictures on the side.

I blurred my name's definition for privacy. Hehe. I'm shy to reveal some of my secrets. But as you can see the letter 'e' means 'end' with matching I love you. Hehe.

See our pictures for the whole year we've been together. The pictures have double sided tape on its back to make it look embossed.

Another view of our pictures. This was actually made from an illustration board. For the plastic cover, he bought a certificate frame or a frame where we put our diploma. He then inserted the illustration board inside.

And there you have it! A very creative, full of effort and touching Love Letter I'll always treasure for the rest of my life. ♥

The reason behind this blog

 The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. ~Helen Keller 

This year I've created personal blogs from which two blogs from blogspot, two blogs from tumblr and one blog from posterous but none of these blogs worked. They did not work because I failed to update them. I failed because its hard to maintain a personal blog wherein you have to broadcast things you do. Its as if you have a lot of things to say but you do not know how to express them. A friend of mine, Cryptic Kris, advised me to concentrate on one topic if I want to pursue my blogging career. And so, I've decided to make a blog of things I love doing the most.

 This is where I put my secret treasures ♥ Scroll down to see what's inside. :)

 

Yay. Letters. Yup, I have collected letters from friends through the years. I always consider these as treasures since these are the things that never fade and will always be kept in the heart.

Letters from friends and loved ones ♥
