little beary li

I’m feeling pretty down today.

So someone isn’t as nice as I thought he was,
So someone thinks so highly of himself,
So someone isn’t that helpful,
So someone’s words actually hurts,
So someone has been complaining about me.

Although I am so disappointed with him, I still have to ask him for help. Isn’t this miserable??

今天的心情有點失落。

原來某某人真的不如自己想像中的好
原來某某人那麼看得起自己
原來某某人不是那麼熱心
原來某某人說的話其實挺傷人
原來某某人在背後投訴我

雖然我已經對某某人感到非常失望
但是卻必需拉下臉來請他幫忙
這種感覺叫。。。。無奈

Scraplifted these layouts from Simple Scrapbooks magazine (July/August 2008 issue) over the weekend as I was down with a flu and had to stay home.

工作太忙﹐終于病倒了。
這個週末因為感冒而不能出門﹐所以在家裡做了剪貼。
沒有多余的精力去想設計﹐只能照著剪貼雜誌(Simple Scrapbooks﹐七/八月份)裡的設計做。
大家將就點看看吧。

Hooray, I finally got hold of these cutie babies!!! All thanks to Valerie who bought them for me from Hong Kong.

我終于擁有【うなずきん˙寶寶系列】了!!!
多虧有好友Valerie幫我從香港買回來。
實在是太開心啦!!!

Another two great finds at Kinokuniya :
- Sunday Home Recipe was written by Yuki Watanabe. I saw the recommendation by Beatrice and was hoping to be able to find the book locally. And I was in luck! Love the simple pictures and wordings!
- Haru’s Stamp Carving Life (a loose translation) was a really good book!! Not only are there beautiful pictures, the detailed instructions are really great for beginners! What’s more, patterns/design are provided for some hands-on practice. This book is simply cool!! (Haru’s blog addy here.)

今天有兩本好書要介紹給大家:
- “星期天在家吃飯”是透過茱迪的部落格才知道有這本好書。簡單的介紹卻讓我有衝動到書店去尋找它﹐而且也找到了。簡單的文字加上的美麗的照片﹐就是我喜歡這本書的理由。:D
- 超愛“ㄎㄎㄎ．haru的橡皮章生活”﹗﹗照片﹐仔細的教學﹐等等都可以讓初學者和已經掌握刻章訣竅的人對手刻章有更深一層的了解。很贊的一本書喲﹗﹗(Haru的部落格)

Was on an unexpected medical leave today. So I spent my time carving and stamping away……
I’m pretty happy with all the results.

臨時休了一天病假﹐所以把時間都花在手刻章上。
成品讓我覺得挺滿意的。:D

Had a stamp carving morning and finally finished an Oneye stamp. And seeing this tag tutorial by Nana, I quickly whipped one up using the new stamp. Seems like the tag is a bit empty on the upper part, but I’ll improve on that the next round. Oh yes, do check out Nana’s blog too. She’s also a skillful artist in rubber stamp carving.

今天一早手刻了Oneye印章后,就依照Nana的吊牌卡製作方式作了個Oneye吊牌卡.
可是怎麼看都覺得卡的上半部有點空空的. 只能下回再改進咯.
對了,有時間請到Nana的部落格逛逛. 她也是位手刻章高手噢!

Recently I took part in Ivy’s blog activity and though I didn’t manage to win, she was very kind to send a super cute lion ATC to me. The lion stamp was handcarved by her niece. It was a real lovely ATC!! What’s more, Ivy also included one of her handmade postcard which was simply beautiful!! Thank you so much for all these goodies, Ivy! (^o^)

之前參加了Ivy家破三萬的小活動. 貼心的Ivy特地作了獅子ATC作為參加獎,所以我有幸得到獅子ATC和櫻花明信片.
櫻花明信片還是特別送我的唷!
兩樣手作禮都很棒,我好喜歡! 謝謝Ivy!! (^o^)

The above was a porcupine stamp on the envelope. Really love the details of her porcupine stamps! It’s going to take a very long time for me to be able to carve this well.

以上是出現在信封上的小刺蝟. 我超愛Ivy的刺蝟章,實在刻得太好了!! 如果要有她的功力,我大概還需要好長一段時間.

It’s straight to NATAS Fair @ Expo after work on friday. I was expecting a lot of people but surprisingly, the crowd wasn’t that big. It feels great to be able to walk around freely without getting bumped here and there.

星期五下班後就直奔到在博覽中心舉行的旅遊展. 原本以為人潮會很多,但出乎意料的還有很多活動的空間.

Hokkaido birdie mascots. 北海道的小鳥吉祥物.

Before leaving the fair, I finally booked my airtickets for a short vacation overseas. So where am I heading to?? Shall reveal the answer when it’s nearer to the date. But the most happy thing is – I’m finally able to travel with my buddy, Valerie. It’s something that I had been waiting for for a very long time!! ^o^

在離開前,我終於訂了機票,準備跟好朋友Valerie在稍後出國度個短假. 超期待這次的旅程!!
至於到底是去哪裡,遲些再公佈咯.
