It’s been a while since I last scrap. Thanks God for QPs like this. It made more meaningful for a shot taken by Hubby for our 2 lovely girls.
Dining Table Ideas
We need an idea for a dining table for our home sweet home. We have a limited space though, so I browsed some ideas. I hope that hubby will approve any of this style. I’m looking for a 4 sitter set with 2 more extras just in case my family-in-laws comes for a visit. A visitor may come along as well, so we’ll never know.
So here are some ideas I chose. What do you think? For the 2 photos below, I want the 2nd option. I like the idea of having a small stool (this will serve as the extra – just in case).
The dining table for this one is cute. I like the combination of baby blue, mahogany and white. But ours is chocolate brown and off white, so we need to stick to that color.
And this one is very elegant. More on like a condominium style. But I like their dining area. So I have this as one of the options.
There you go. At least I blogged it already. So just in case we’re ready to have it made, I’ll just look over my archives for this designs.
Fast Way To Read Your Google Reader Feeds
Who among you loves to see updates from their friends? Blog hop? Thanks to Diane, who shared me this easy way to read my subscriptions easily. I created a bookmark specially for the “Bebots” category. It’s much easy reading their stories over their own site. Plus, I’m blog hopping randomly as well. Now, my reads is zeroed out. Hope this helps you as well.
Choose the best one for you. Mine is Trick #3.
Trick 1: Google Reader Play
Google Play is a new toy Google itself has created for Google Reader. It is an impressive way to view the more visual post items from your feeds.
Trick 2: Feedly
Feedly is an extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari (it’s also got an iPhone app). What Feedly does is re-design the layout of your unread Google Reader feed items to make it look better in a way designed to be browsed in a leisurely fashion. It compartmentalises each of your folders, showing thumbnails and short snippets of the post with each of the titles.
Plus, Feedly features a couple of items at the very top with large thumbnails in a semi-magazine style. It also links into your Twitter account, making it easy to share the things you find.
Trick 3: Make “Next Bookmark” Toolbar Buttons
These “Next Bookmark” buttons are easy to set up, but people seem to forget they exist. Head to Google Reader and click on “Manage Subscriptions” in the bottom-left corner. Click on the “Goodies” tab and scroll down. You have the option of making a simple “Next” button or to choose a specific folder and create a “Next” button for that folder only.
Thanks to this article too 
Now enjoy reading your reads dear friends.

“If You Could See Me Now”
I’m reading this right now. Thanks to dear friend Suzanne for the books to read over my iPhone. I can’t wait to finish it since I was able to read now the summary.
Plot summary
Trapped in a stifling, small town in Ireland, Elizabeth Egan had always been known as a serious woman, never laughing at jokes or taking joys from the simplest pleasure of life. This is due to the effect of being abandoned by her free-spirited mother when she was young and was forced to grow up to babysit her sister, Saoirse.
Taking advantage of the obliged responsibilities instilled in Elizabeth, Saoirse continued to lead life with abandonment leaving Elizabeth to be stuck with Luke, Saoirse’s son.
At the age of six, Luke claims to have a friend named Ivan who Elizabeth cannot see. Though at first she is exasperated with this imaginary friend, she starts playing along with Luke when she learns that imaginary friends will only last about 3 months.
Though invisible to most, Ivan is real. Only Luke and Saoirse can see him, though he comes to realize that Elizabeth can feel his presence. Knowing that only people who are in real need of a friend are able to see him, he follows Elizabeth around. When, suddenly, she is able to see him, Ivan is delighted, but disappointed just as quickly when she thinks him to be the father of one of Luke’s friends. A friendship which soon turns into romance blossoms between them.
Ivan’s boss, Opal, sees his love for Elizabeth and tells him her own sad tale. She tells him that however much he wishes to be with Elizabeth a time will come when she will no longer be able to see him and will eventually age while he would remain young. However, Ivan is too much in love with Elizabeth and refuses to listen.
One day, when Elizabeth is hosting a party, she is no longer able to see Ivan and he realizes it is time to move on to a new friend. Ivan visits Elizabeth in a dream telling her that he was glad he met her and etc. A few days later, Elizabeth realizes that he was Luke’s ‘imaginary’ friend.
They went their separate ways, both changed after the experience. Elizabeth is more relaxed and Ivan admits that Elizabeth is something that is better than anything else.
14th Day
It’s the 14th day of Ramadan. So far so good. Alhamdulillah. I’m really getting used to not eat until it’s Athan or call for the Magreb prayer. I guess it’s because the willingness to fast is there and you really feel how blessed you are for the food in the dining table once you’re all ready to eat. Alhamdulillah, thanks be to God.
