"Re-"

After 9 Yearbook publications, 10 years of teaching, 17 years of being a mom (and still counting), 2 weeks of helping my mom moved out of the house she lived for 30 years, I ended up with piles of scrap papers, pvc banners from the Yearbook photo session, left over prints, zillions drawings, old encyclopedias, out dated magazines, old blank cards, tons of buttons, cassette tapes, yards of ribbons, books in the "done-reading-but-have-to-keep-it-for-unknown-reason" category. 

I think I'm a hoarder *sigh*. But wait! A hoarder doesn't do anything to the piles he or she accumulates over the years. I can do "Re-" thing to my stuff: Re-cycle, Re-design, Re-do, Re-use, Re-purpose!

{I hereby solemnly declare to make more shelve space available by creating "Re-" projects from my piles}

Book of Rhyming Lines

Recycled cardboard, colorful ribbons, 156 poems

Child of Collaboration and Think Outside The Box

Lover of words, doodles & day dreaming

Who feels enchanted, cuddled and loved

Who needs a good shelve, illustrator, and a hug

Who fears shredded machine, termite & internet 

Who gives joy, love & laughter

Who would like to see dreams, imagination and nothing turns into words

Rhinolicious

Once upon a time there were 30 grade 3 students who were enchanted by Charllote's Web, a classic story beautifully written by EB White. They decided to take matter into their own hands and went to the King & Queen of Words and asked their guidance to make their own comic based on the story. The Queen dust them with grammar & spelling sprinkles, while the King guard them from the 3 legged word snatcher.
The Queen & The King had many helpers:The Knight of Hue dipped the students' hand drawings in rainbow.

The Knight of  WWF brought the students' attention to Rhinoceroses in Ujung Kulon National Park. They were all in tears when they learned that the rhinoceros are endangered.  "Let's...sell...comic to ...to....to....help the Rhino!" one boy said, barely able to speak while crying. 

The Knight of outOdbox helped them brainstormed different ways to raise more money to adopt a rhino and the Wizard of Sound help them created a rhino song.

People and creatures from far land came to Adopt-a-Rhino Fun Day. All the hard work paid off. The students raised enough money to adopt Lulu, a female rhinoceros. The Queen & The King were so proud of them; the students were awarded the highest title of all: The Duke & Duchess of Rhinolicious (When the land of the Printed Words learned about this they sent reporter IC to see it with her own dot).

Trash for Others, Treasure for Me

Trip#1
Book Flea Market
Location: Pasar Senen
Wether: Hot & humid

Books, books, books everywhere! Novels, dictionaries, art catalog, coffee table books, magazines, comics, children books, old encyclopedias, you name it, they most likely have it. I love going to through piles of books, I never knew what I'm going to discover.

To get the best value for the old books bargain hard, offer half the price of what the seller offer you. When you don't get the price you want, walk away like you don't need the books (use your best poker face). The seller will most likely to yell or chase you to give you the price. But if they didn't don't be in despair, move to the next stall, you will probably find similar books.

Trip#2
Art & Craft Store
Location: Pasar Mayestik
Wether: Cloudy & Drizzling

"Oooh...look at all those range of colors!" "Aaaw...what a cute little buttons!" Every time I visit this store in pasar Mayestik I found myself ogling over stuff. Rows after rows of buttons, ribbons, strings, zippers, lace, feathers, beads, glitters and craft tools. Even though I'm armed with shopping list I always ended up buying stuff that falls into "I don't know what I'm going to do with this but I must have it" category.

The strangest things about the store were all the salesperson are male with a certain ethnic background and there were no price tags! With more than 2000 items I think they just randomly put a price on my purchase. When I asked one of the guy how does he know the price of everything he just looked at me and simply said, "We have a system." and refused to explain further.
