Bells will be ringing …

This is going to be the most interesting topic I’m going to write about. Finally, I was given a writing assignment which I really like. They usually ask me to write about swimming pools, carpets, radiators,  personal loans, gutters, or just about things I really don’t understand. My sister once asked me how I am able to write 300-word articles if I don’t know anything about them. Answer: Nothing. I just type whatever comes to my mind, try to make the paragraphs as long as possible, and make sure the articles will pass Copyscape.

But this time is going to be different. I’m not saying that I’m a know-all about weddings. In fact, I don’t know anything about them, too. Hehehe. I just think writing about church wedding music is so cool! If life were one big soap opera, that walk-down-the-aisle moment is a major highlight in the story. Imagine if there were no music playing in the background while the leading lady is marching towards the altar. Wouldn’t that be utterly boring? That is why I believe this topic is worth writing for. In the near future, brides-to-be will be reading my article and they’d find it useful and entertaining at the same time. Hopefully …

Anyway, I’m glad the turn-around time is not that fast. I was given a whole week to finish all the articles. So I have ample time to accomplish the task. So, literally speaking, bells will be ringing in my writing life. I’m still  more interested with writing fictional stories but I’m not yet confident. It would have to wait a bit longer but it’s on the cards.

Dreaming of traveling

We didn’t have electricity yesterday because of Basyang. It was annoying because yesterday was such an unproductive day. I wasn’t able to report for work because according to the news, it’s not safe to travel – as if Manila to Paranaque is that far LOL. Truth is, I had dysmenorrhea so whether there was a storm or not, I still wouldn’t go to work. I also wasn’t able to write a sponsored post because I couldn’t charge my laptop :( To cheer up myself, I decided to day dream about the places that I want to visit.

Paris, France – I’m dying to see the Eiffel Tower. In my dreams, I’ve written thousands of posts about me going to Paris, drinking coffee in their coffee shops, and shopping lots of sexy dresses. Whenever I see posters of Paris anywhere, I couldn’t help but to stare and imagine myself being there. Hihi.

New York, USA – just wanna know if I can survive in the big bad city. I have a cousin who works in NY as a bank teller. I’m very happy for her. At least there is someone in the family who is able to live and work there. Proud of her, she calls herself Miss Independent. I wonder if I could do the things she does, working while taking her Master’s degree. Wow!

Costume ideas for my little ones

Posted by sterndal in family matters, future plans, happy sterndal! on Jul 14th, 2010 | 0 comments

I know my nephew is only 11 months old and my niece just turned 4 months old, but I already have plans of bringing them to costume parties. I mean, not now, of course. It’s way too early. Maybe when Jazz and Eros turn 3 years old. But it won’t hurt to start thinking of creative costume ideas as early as now, after all, dressing up for Halloween parties require some advance planning, right?

I’m quite sure they are going to love it. Me and their parents have never attended such parties so we want them to experience the excitement of dressing up and mingling with friends. What about a superhero costume for Jazz and a ballerina dress for Eros? Makes me wonder what kind of costume my little ones would choose? Well, in case they are going to opt for violent costume characters, I’m not going to allow them. No bloody, no horrifying, no terrifying ideas, please. LOL. As if I were the parent.

Perhaps I should take them to a shop where every costume is lovely and adorable like Frannys Feet Costumes, what do you think? I think Little Mermaid would look great on Eros because it fits her character well. She’s very pretty and she’s going to be a singer. On the other hand, I would love to see Jazz in a Spongebob costume. He’s going to look cute for sure :)
