Remember how I told y'all about giving away Demonoid invitation codes in this post? I have a confession to make. *blush* I completely forgot about it until now, when I was looking for a PowerPoint to video converter software and I thought of looking it up on Demonoid. So I clicked on my control panel to see if I can already generate invitation codes for those of you who commented.

And waddaya know, I now have five Demonoid invitation codes which I can give away. As in right now. Hee hee. So I went to Random.org, ran the sequence generator, to come up with the THREE LUCKY ONES. Here's a screen cap, so I won't be accused of favoritism. Hehehe.





If you cross check on this post, you'll see that Nadine, Chrizx and Pehpot were picked. I will be sending you guys your codes through email or wherever you can be reached. Damn I have to find your contact info, then. Oh well, I guess I will be doing that a bit later. Hey, what happened to the other two codes? You have five, right?, you ask. I want to give new people the chance to grab their own Demonoid code invitation, so I left out the two codes so I can give them out to new people this time.

BUT. I won't be giving the two remaining free codes here. As mentioned in a previous post, I am whoring for WAHMaholic right now, so those of you who want the remaining invitation codes, hop to WAHMaholic and drop a line there or something. Just to let me know that you are interested in one of those Demonoid invitation codes. Okay? So go. Leave me alone now. I'm gonna eat lunch. :D

I'm in the mood for a little Q&A so here's a tag from the finest lady on Blogspot, Polly of Angels In My Garden. Being my source of daily (okay, semi-weekly or weekly, depending on how often she blogs) inspiration, I decided to be kind (this is a rare decision, mind you. LOL) and make her a button. And a header! Yay! Anyways, here's what they looked like after I massacred some lovely elements over at Shabby Princess and Gran Gran's Graphics :


Button

Header (resized)


Hee hee. Better or worse than the other buttons I made? I read somewhere that I should be learning Illustrator instead of Photoshop if I want to make gorgeous buttons/headers, so that's exactly what I'll do the next few days. Anyways, here's what I was tagged with (whichis the point of this entry, btw):

There. Spread the love. I hope you all had a great weekend. :)

Today I am whoring for WAHMaholic. If you want to exchange links or buttons (yes! I made a button last night! Yay!), just drop by at the site and I'll be more than happy to put you on my link/button list in one of my pages. Just a warning. The site might be too.. err.... colorful for your taste. If blinded by the colors, just hit the back button and you'll regain full use of your eyes.

Another thing, I decided to change my button for this blog, so for those of you who can be bothered to update to my new one, please do so. I think the new one's way better than the old button. But, of course, that's just me. I wanted to change the code myself so it will update automatically to the new one but I I hosted the image at Picasa (which is Blogspot's official web album) and the code just has this string of incomprehensible characters that when I uploaded the new image to it, I was not able to retain the old url even if I named the new image the same as the old one. I hope you get my drift.

Anyway, I thought you might like to see what I did for my buttons so here they are:

This one's for here:

And this one's for WAHMaholic

So there. If you want to exchange buttons with me here, just look at the sidebar and grab my button there. If you already have my old button, please do update to my new one if you have the time. And if you want to exchange links/buttons with WAHMaholic, just go there and leave a message. Bye for now. Have a good day everyone. The weekend's near!

Hubby's home already. It's like everything is gonna be alright when he knocked on our door. I'm just so glad now that he's here. Svet naturally did not approach him at first. He has been gone for three months, after all. But she let him rock her to sleep that very night, which means she must have felt like she knew him already. She must've thought "Hey, I know this guy. I just can't remember from where". Tee hee. But they're okay now. She likes to hug him tightly every time he picks her up. And loves to show off in front of him (dance, laugh out loud and stuff). Looks for him when he's not around. They bonded pretty fast.

I guess Svet knows deep in her heart that this man who suddenly showed up on our doorstep one day was someone who took good care of her when she was younger. So yeah. We're good right now. And I am just happy. I hope you are, too, whatever's happening in your life right now. :)

I grabbed this tag from pehpot. When I say grabbed, I do mean grabbed, as in she did not give it to me personally. She just said we can grab it, so I did, whether she likes it or not. Haha. This, by the way, is called the Captured Tag. Mommy Shelo over at Mi Mundo del Amor started this one, and I think it was a sweet tag to make, so I am posting it here.

Rules: Copy the quotes above from start copy to end Copy. Replace the Photograph with your own or your loved ones. Black and White captured moments that you want to cherish for the rest of your life.

This is one of her happiest faces ever captured, when she was seven months (she's eleven months now). I now tag...hmm.. let's see. Everyone on my blog list! Yay! Post your best black and white shot. Share it, and bare your soul :)
