My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

In Manhattan, 7th Avenue is also called the "Fashion District." For someone who loves fashion (ooppss... Sorry for the redundancy)-- fabrics, trimmings, buttons, etc., Fashion District is "heaven" (maybe you could even get your idea for your mantel designs). I love it for their trimmings that I could use for my cardmaking. My concern was, I had no idea where to get cheap materials. Of course, the obvious solution was to ask a local, which I did. I asked F one day and she gave me four (4) business cards to copy. Here's the list:

I went as soon as I was given the chance. I only bought materials enough for one card sample, which I hope I could do soon after my 3 pending projects.
