He Loves Music.
Feb 21, 2012 Etc.
Sometimes I think he does. Instead of playing with his Ipod touch, I would catch DS just listening to the music from his games. There are times that the volume can be loud though that I had to make him lower the volume down, much to his dismay. This makes me think if I should get him his own koss headphones. I plan to put songs appropriate to his age on the itouch as well so I can encourage his love for music, if there’s any. I really hope he has, even the littlest interest, as I plan to introduce the piano to him this summer.

I have a huge collection of fonts. That’s why I got so excited when I came across these sets of free fonts over at Pinterest. You can grab the link to these free fonts here.

Odds and Ends.
Feb 3, 2012 Etc.
I think it will take a month or so to have my Flickr up to date. I have been uploading like crazy the past days, that I am not able to do anything, even to check on the POS system that has long been overdue! And even if I am uploading round the clock, it just doesn’t seem to end.
I better try out Project Life Digital the soonest. I have been shopping for materials the past weeks and I need to put them to good use.
Have our little gig’s Facebook and site (I’m still not sure what to do with it. Blog or site?) up to date.
Do some reading.
Be a little more active.
