2008-06-22T22:48:00.000-07:00

To make:

o Separate the babies breath and cut it up into 3 sections each. Leave the stems about 3" long.
o Insert the babies breath around the holder just above the lace.
o Insert the rosebuds evenly around the holder. Save 4 rosebuds for the center, in-between the flowers.
o Cut the stems to 3" long and add the flowers to the middle of the holder.
o Cut all stems to 3" long. Fill in the open places with babies breath and insert the remaining single roses.
o Tie the ribbon around the base of the holder and secure it in back with hot glue. Make a bow or just let it float.

You can hot glue more lace around the edge to really fluff it up.

How to make a hand-tied wedding boquet

1. Prepare your flowers. (See working with fresh flowers and wiring techniques) If using fresh roses be sure to strip off (1/2 of the stem )most of the leaves. Thorns will need to be removed carefully so as not to damage the rose stems. If using silk flowers remove the any lower leaves on the rose stems.

2. Prepare the baby's breath and the ivy. Cut the ivy into sections on 8-12" each.

3. Start by holding a stem of baby's breath, and 2 rose stems in your hand. Holding the stems upright in your hand, gradually add more stems to the bouquet at a 45 degree angle, turning the bouquet in your hand so that a spiral gradually Hold the stems firmly at the binding point while slowly adding more flowers.

4. Insert your greenery (ivy, leafed branches ) throughout the bouquet. It is the greenery that brings out the flowers so place it carefully and sparingly around each bloom.

5. Once you are happy with the overall size, shape and color of the bouquet tie the stems together at the top and bottom with string, floral wire or raffia. You can wrap it securely - this will be covered with the satin ribbon. Then with sharp scissors or pruners trim the stems (if using silk flowers use wire cutters) at the bottom so that they are all one size.

6. Use the satin white ribbon to tightly wrap the stems. Start at the base of the flowers, leave enough ribbon to tie a knot later (about 3 inches), overlapping each twist to conceal the raffia and the stems. You are winding from top to bottom. When you reach the bottom, tuck the ribbon over the base of the stems and then wind the ribbon back up the stems (use a corsage pin to ribbon on the bottom in place-remove later). When you reach the starting point tie the ribbon in a knot (with the beginning of the ribbon). Push the knot into the top of the ribbon to conceal it. Use 3 pearl topped corsage pins to fasten the ribbon securely to the stem. Be sure to push the pins at a slant downward into the stems. This will also give the bouquet a finished look.

6. Set bouquet in an empty vase that has a narrow opening, until ready to use.

Material needed:

2 dozen sprays babies breath, or gypsophila or lilies of the valley

24 small yellow roses
12 large yellow roses
12 mauve roses
3 yards white satin ribbon
ivy garland, vine, or branches
raffia
floral wire
pearl topped corsage pins

On October 2007, I've decided to apply for a internet broadband connection. Because for th past days, I was finding things that can enjoy myself and forget all the bad things happened in the past. I enjoyed myself surfing the internet and playing online games my brother thought me. It was RAN online and ROSE online, actually it was my brother's account that I'm playing that's why i don't know how to get start over it. I also enjoy searching recipe's that i can cook for myself. Of course, for my Mama and Papa also hehe. I play games when only I'm fr from my school studies and project.. Actually i didn't apply for an internet connection for games only, i use it for my school studies. Besides from these, I am having fun entering the world of friendster.com. I gain many friends in the internet that i can share my happy and sad moments of my life. Some of them really disgust me for the things that they are thinking about me and some of them makes me smile ^^. I especially have fun in editing my profile choosing the right background for my account.
November 2007, this guy invited me as his friend on friendster, I s his kinda cute ^^ and I like his small eyes just like Justin of Full House (Rain). From that day i had a crush on him and everytime I'm opening my friendster account , i always look for his account and see his eyes.. Yeah His small EYES only hehe ^^. One day he gave me a comment saying "Thanks for accepting my invitation for being your friend". And Of course I replied for his comment saying "Welcome... etc." Starting that day, we always give a comment to each other sometimes we chat in Yahoo messenger. We also exchange each other's type of music. Basically Love songs. Day by day we're getting to know each other until the day he proposed to me and, what can i say..? I accidentally fall in love with him. We fall in love with each other.
On December 25, 2007, Christmas. We go on a date and he planned to watch movie. This is the first time i will meet him in person. At first I'm really shy. I can't look straight to his eyes even if i like mostly is his eyes ^^. For the first time we met each other, I feel his sweetness and that was also the first time i go on a date and finish the movie until the end ^^. He always ask me if I'm tired or hungry or thirsty or something. He's very caring to me and his a very gentle person.. I like him because of that quality in him.. Oh no, sorry I LOVE him for that, i LOVE him for what he really are. I loved how he cares for me, and I'm happy annoying him all the time een most of all the time I'm making him angry because I'm Passing his Line of Temper a bit ^^ and saying sorry everytime I annoys him heh^^.
Up until now we're still happy with our relationship. Until now he's still what he is when I first met him and I'm Glad I FINALLY FOUND HIM, Hoping that our love for each other last forever.

My Fake Love

2008-06-20T22:11:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, i would like to share some of my love story to you..
When i was in High School I had a friend who invited me to become a muse in a basketball game tournament. Accidentally I was walking backward and suddenly hit him. I can't say sorry cause I'm shy. Since birth I'm almost shy at many things, i couldn't explain why but you can say that I'm a bit afraid at people that i don't know ^^. After the basketball program my friend introduced me a guy, he is a basketball player who is also in the program. Then suddenly the guy say sorry to me, for what happened earlier. I didn't notice that he is the one i hit earlier. He introduce himself to me and he ask if he could get my Cellphone number. Until we know each other well.

On July 25, 2005, I accepted his proposal to be his girlfriend and enter a relationship. In that day I was so happy from all the things that are happening to me. I feel blessed that God gave him to me. Starting from that day and to the following days my trust and love grows more than the first day we fall in love.

After almost 4 months and half November 22, 2005 we're been out of communication due to
some kind of reasons i didn't really know what kind of reason is that. I'm calling him day by day, Texting him night by night. So I didn't have a choice but to wait for his replies. I waited long because i loved him. On December my friend who introduced him to me tell me that he had a big secret that he's not telling me. My friend told me that he is going to be married to his ex girlfriend because he's ex girlfriend was pregnant. But i didn't believe my friend cause from the day we fall in love. my trust have grown a lot. Until December 31, 2005 (he's Birthday), i try to call him in his land line phone instead of his cellphone that is always out of coverage area. Then someone pick up the phone, I said Hello then a girls voice ask me who i am. In the first place I think she was my boyfriend's cousin or mother or a close friend. But I was wrong, she told me that she was the wife of my boyfriend. I was speechless and my tears suddenly came out of my eyes, I can't say any. But I strengthen myself and say "this is Rose can i speak to Ralph". Then the girl shouted Ralph to come down the stairs, actually i can hear also his voice. The girl ask who is Rose? My boyfriend said "I don't know who she is, maybe a wrong number" after i hear that, i can't stop holding the phone any longer. So I just tell the girl to say Happy Birthday to Ralph and drop the phone. Later on that evening is the celebration of New Year's Day. Instead of celebrating it, I lock myself up in my room and drunk myself and even try to smoke just to forget all of the FAKE things i could say, that happen to me.

On February 28, 2006, he called me, and i don't expected it. I open the topic about his wife, and tell me that it was just a damn FAKE lie. The girl who answered the phone was his sister, he told me that. Then of course my love is still in him, i can't stop believing in him. Then after a month we lose contact to each other again. He's not answering my calls and my text.

May 22, 2006, I tried to investigate what really is going on. I went to my close cousin and ask for his help. My cousin had a friend in that day who is exactly right in time had a car. We stroll until we reach my boyfriends house. In my Own BIG EYES i saw his @#$%&#*^ wife and i can say that she is 7-8month pregnant. On that day i realize believing on his FAKE Lies, that i was wrong. Actually suicide came up to my mind. But I'm not that Stupid to waste my Life for all this FAKE LOVE.

Until now i met a guy..........................................................................................................
