A Homemaker’s Diary

I wonder how many brides-to-be out there who would be brave enough to choose shocking pink as their wedding theme. Well, I’ve seen how a party planner managed to pull a pink birthday party but yet to see a Malay wedding with such vibrant tones. Light pink, yes like this one.

But this one is more on combination of light pink and purple and on the reception day, the bride wore magenta like dress.

Hopefully I will get one client who would like to have shocking pink as her main color theme. I already have few items with that color combination ready as samples..hehe!

I know many people have personal page on Blogger and Myspace. And of course with limited technical knowledge to tweak and optimize your page (I for once still copy and paste html code to insert pictures into my blog), sometimes your page appearance can be so stale. Well, there is new thing in town for those climbing the social networking sites hierachy – the pagefetti

Now your problem can be solved if you download Webfetti Toolbar for free. It is a bundle of everything – layouts, generators, glitter graphic, new skins for your music players and you can even pimp out frames for your photos and videos.

Once downloaded and integrated into your browser, you can easily customize your profile and spice up your page. You can be a Denim girl or a very girly mushy girl with all the Cherries and Hearts. Those with a freak for smileys will have tonnes of fun time putting the icons on your new friends’ comments page.

If you are still blur on what I’m trying to tell you here, check out the preview page. You can change the layout, try the glitter effect, and in an instance your page will reflects who you really are. It is also compatible with Hi5 and Zwinky.

And if you have a lot of pictures to share among your network friends, use the slideshows generator and you will be the new, glamorous girl with fun, adventurous life. I bet there will be many requests of new friends later.

I really have to take more new pictures these days. Maybe I will snap a few pictures at Pasar Ramadhan today if there are not so many people around..hehe!

Anyway, still on songket decor stuffs, here is another one using goldish off white songket pieces. Since the box is like natural hay color, I go for gold and green theme.

Anyone interested to get this box, kindly leave a comment. Actually it also comes with plastic container to put chocolate. Good packaging for guest favor and limited edition favors to be given to your VIP guests during wedding reception. Can be used as hantaran box as well.

I was watching Desperate Housewives yesterday on my cable channel (yes, it’s the season which was over long time ago in the US) and last night was the episode where Andrew, Bree’s abandoned son came out on TV and told everyone about his alcoholic mom.

Well, in the previous season Bree has been into rehabilitation center for her drinking problem and I think early this season she was able to distance herself from the problem quite well (thanks to the new dentist husband and a bunch of flowering plants in the hot sun).

My point is if somehow you think and really feel that you need help for this kind of problem, drug addiction or alcoholism (or you know anyone who does need help), finding a good place that could provide a shelter and safe house for detoxification and drug rehabilitation is the first crucial step.

At Watershed, they have 12-Step involvement program, dependency education and family therapy which make it a point for everyone to realize that this kind of addiction and harmful dependency is actually a disease that wrecks the whole family, not you alone.

Check out the program and you can see how viable their plan is, plus it is affordable provided you want to change yourself for the better. Ask yourself what is more valuable than to have your life back on track. After all you wouldn’t want to abandon your son on the street, right?

Thanks to someone asking about my well-being, I think I am getting better in mental and emotional health. Sometimes it’s hard to explain the situation, but I think I am stronger than I think I can be.

So here it goes another creation of mine. This box is imported from Indonesia and I bought it in case I need something for VIP guest favor sample. So since my friend (the songket business owner) provided me with some remnants of songket cloth, I made bunga songket as decoration for the box. The songket flower can be changed into corsage to be worn by the VIP guest to your event later.

I hope this one can be included as part of her songket products in Ratu Sehari magazine next volume..hehe!
