Sleep ZZzzzz

Image
    My daughter does not have precollege classes this Saturday due to holiday.  Yay!  I can have a break!  Since I am the one drives her to the city where her precollege program is every Saturday, I don't get to sleep in as much as I would like to.  Just to remind myself that I don't have to set my alarm clock the night before.  I did a little drawing in my planner as a reminder. "I love sleep.  My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" - Ernest Hemingway

A little girl

Image
When I walked down to the train station one morning, I saw this little girl waiting for the school bus with a bunch of kids.   She had a very cute outfit on.  She reminded me of my daughter when she was young.  I enjoyed buying her and dressing her up in cute outfits.  It brought back a lot of good memories.  Of course, I had to draw this cute little girl in my planner. "Pay attention! Don't just stagger through the day."  - Jim Rohn Inspiration is everywhere.  I don't have to wait for a great idea in order for me to draw.  You just have to pay attention! Don't forget to unplug from electronic devices and take in all the beauties around you!  Have a wonderful day!

Aha moment

Image
Whenever I have time, I often listens to speeches from different speakers.  When I had an aha moment, I would write it down.  In addition, I would reflect on what I need to improve or any of beliefs need to be changed. Feel free to share any of your aha moments with me! "Some people feel the rain, other just get wet." - Bob Marley

MSM Precollege Orientation

Image
  I took a day off from work to attend Manhattan School of Music's precollege orientation.    The faculty at MSM did a wonderful presentation.  I found it very informative and helpful.  One can feel the school really cares about the students and really want to help out.     I can definitely feel all the staffs at MSM, students and parents all have the love for music!  What a great way to meet great people! "Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love." - Mother Teresa    Be generous with your smile today.  Your smile can bright up someone's day!  Shine on, lovelies!

Border design for journal page - Sept'17

Image
Ever since I brought my fountain pens, I had been writing down quotes to practice my handwriting.  I would love to share some of the quotes I love. "To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven.  Don't wait until you die.  If you wait, you die now.  If you love, you live now." - Alan Cohen Having fun drawing border for my journal setup.  I opted for simple floral design with green color instead of blue.  Let me know what you think. Happy Friday, lovelies!

This is my September monthly layout work-in-progress. I love all the doodles I have drawn.  What a fun way for me to record what I have done!

Aug'17 journal page set up

For this journal page, I used Noodler's black swan in Australian roses! It has beautiful shading. The color is lovely. However, the ink does take a long time to dry. What is your favorite fountain pen ink?

Pet Rabbit, Nefertiti

Image
My pet rabbit, Nefertiti, turns 3 months old today. She's a lot of work but she gives me a lot of joy!  She is a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit.  She should only go up to three pounds once she becomes an adult.  Her favorite activity is eating and more eating!  She has her own play pen so that she can run, jump and hop as much as she wants. Okay.. I have to go because I have to attend to my 3 month old Nefertit, aka Niffy!
