what made me SMILE today (3/23/10): BOOM DE YADA

I stop what I do each time this comes on.

Absolutely a COOL jingle by Discovery Channel that captures the awesome world we live in.  There's so much to love!

I speak for myself . . . "I love the mountains" . . . "I love the clear blue skies" . . . "and all its sights and sounds" . . . "I love the whole world (and all its craziness)" . . . ☻

How about you?  What do you love about our world?

Signs such as this make me SMILE . . .

what made me SMILE today? (3/20/10)

R-O-U-G-H morning. 

I almost poured this ice cold water on my head to make me smile. 

Of course, I didn't.

LOL!

March 20, 2010 WISH THESE WERE BEADS: CHEESE BALLS!

I am sooooooooooo hooked on this!!!

Cheese Balls make my day.  I haven't been beading lately because of my cheesy orange coated-fingers.  Lol!  

I think they are beginning to look like smileys! What do you think???  But wish these were beads.

In case you want to know, these cheese balls come in a can.  

Have a "cheesy" weekend!  CHEErS!

 These 2 photos of the Pharmacy staff made me smile today.  Taken before and after the Generic Medicine Awareness Talk at a nearby Health Center.

Remember the hat I wore on this blog http://bybeadedstory.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-7-2010-where-we-were.html?  Well, I bought 3 :)

Please feel free to check out the whole album by clicking on the Generika Molino Facebook badge found on the rightmost bottom of this page :)

March 17, 2010 why are you frowning? SMILE :)

I have been using these smileys for the Pharmacy lately because of our upcoming activity "LIBRENG BUNOT" (free tooth extraction).

Aren't they cute?!!! I love looking at these smileys because of their sunshine faces that  make my day bright. Even the missing tooth smiley makes me smile wide.

Because of these smileys, I came up with the idea of  jotting down a "What made me SMILE today" list.   I came up with 5 yesterday. . . 

Smile 1

I smile to the song "SMILE" . . . I often listen to Nat King Cole's version but I found out yesterday that the music was actually composed by funny man Charlie Chaplin.  "Smile" was originally used as an instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the 1936 movie of Charlie Chaplin entitled Modern Times. Amazing, right?!

Smile 2

Remember this blog about losing my 2006-2007 bead photos http://bybeadedstory.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-11-2010-lost-and-found.html?   In my search, I came across photos which I have put together because of the smiles :) 

Smile 3

Guess what?  I have been picking small white flowers from this plant every morning (reason why I have been buying bread from a nearby bakeshop instead of my favorite French Baker). This plant is found near the Village gate and I think I have been picking too much flowers.  The flowers you see  are the last two.  But I smiled yesterday morning because lots of buds are soon to bloom.  Will check it out again in a bit . . .

Smile 4

Slept late Monday night and woke up with huge eyebags . . . all because of a suspense - I say horror! - TV show my husband watched (my eyes were hidden behind my hands all throughout the show).  Husband slept well even with my intentional act of leaving the lights on (Lol!).  But I woke up to the aroma of my favorite Hazelnut brewed coffee served in my "Mother's Coffee" mug :)

Smile 5
And of course, I smiled to this  . . . . while . . . .

. . . I watched this yesterday afternoon! ☻

Now I wonder what will make me smile TODAY? . . . I'll let you know tomorrow . . .

January 30, 2010 THANKS DJ WATTS!!!

I met DJ Watts a year ago in a bazaar in Alabang.  I absolutely loved his selection and compilation of beats. Made me want to party all day and night!! 

Early this morning, I listened to one of his hed kandi compilations for the first time while waiting for my car's turn to be serviced.

I love the song Walking with a Smile! It absolutely brought By Beaded Story closer to its 2010 dream . . .  What it is?  Just wait and see =)  Let's DANCE for now!!!  Ciao!!!
