Catch Up Miscellaneous

OMG.  It's been more than half a year since I last posted. I meant to post earlier but I have been so lazy.  However, I haven't been that lazy with creating.  I always try to scrap something on long weekends.  Then when maternity leave started, I had some time to scrap since my little bun decided to bake a bit longer than anticipated.  All this time I want to post whatever pages I haven't posted, like I last mentioned last post.  Of course, I didn't.  And when I wanted to, the baby came out.  Life was over.  Kinda (elaborate later in future post... maybe). Anyways, here are some of the pages I created over the last while. Good thing I wrote down some of the things I used when making these pages.

Paradise Air
This was the most adventurous things I have ever done in my life.  What's best was it was also the first adventurous thing B and I did as a married couple.  On the second day of our marriage, we went to Paradise Air and flew over the southwestern part of Oahu island.  I loved it. I don't think I will ever get a pilot's license, this will do.  The best parts were to "feel" the clouds and hover over rainbows.  It was amazing.

Fishy Spa

In Santorini, B and I hiked from Fira to Oia.  We could have took a bus, but 1. people said this hike is amazing, and it was, and 2.  I didn't want to pay for two bus fares (we went back to Fira by bus).  It wasn't meant to be a hard hike, but we did take some detours, which took longer, and I hadn't exercised for ages!  However, it really made me continue to exercise after this trip.  Anyways, after this long hike, we were famished and our feet were overly exhausted.  After a delicious lunch, we dunked our feet into a fish tank and let the fishy eat away our dead skin. It was a pretty enjoyable experience.  B was surprised that he quite enjoyed it.

Camel Ride

In Wadi Rum, our private tour guide suggested a camel ride. Oh yeah!  How often do I get a chance to ride a camel in a desert. Perfect animal in a perfect setting.

Wow!

It's been almost than a year since I last posted.  Have I stopped creating?  Of course not, but I haven't been creating as much as I would like.  Work has been crazy since I returned after Xmas holidays.  My brain was exhausted with specifications, site work, drawings, engineering stuff.  Although scrapping helps escaping it all, but I was lacking the brain juice to create.  And when I finally created something, I got too lazy to post it here.  When work finally slowed down a bit, and creative brain juice replenished a bit, I found out I was pregnant!  My first trimester consisted me camping outside my bathroom and lethargic on the couch.  I could barely hold down water, forget about scrapping.  It was horrible.  I would not wish it on my worse enemy.  Now that's all over, the baby is cuddling warmly in my tummy, and my workload has lessened it's time to start again.  To start, here are some recent pages I made in the last few weeks.  I'll try to find post the other few pages I made this year... maybe.

Floating in the Dead Sea
Our last stop during our big vacation last year, the Dead Sea.  Since I was the camera person, I couldn't take shots of me floating in the water or covered in mud.  Therefore, this page only consisted of B.

Little Venice

This little strip of buildings on the island of Mykonos is built near the waters, just like Venice.  I was lucky to capture this shot when the sun was setting.  So pretty.

Delos

We took a daytrip to Delos, an island covered by ruins not too far from Mykonos.  If I was a history fanatic, yeah, I would like it but I'm not.  However, I am a scrapbooker - the more places = more photos = scrapbook potential!
