Back from my holiday!

I came back from my holiday last Wednesday, and it surely was a good holiday! Boracay island, which is about an hour's flight away from Manila, is considered one of the best tropical beaches around. Since I don't have too many stitching photos, let me entertain you by showing a couple of holiday photos instead!


This is the view from our hotel room. We had breakfast at the little huts every day, the view was spectacular!


And this is the beach near our hotel, which is somewhere up the cliff. That's me in the center. :D It was a very relaxing holiday, we did nothing much except laze around the beach and eat. I feel like I've gained tons of weight just from that holiday!

As for stitching updates, I had grand plans to do lots during the weekend. But there's some saying...about grand plans gone awry? On Friday night, I suddenly got a sore throat. It's strange how that happened, there was no hint of me falling sick, just BOOM, and I had a sore throat. The next morning, I had a fever as well. I probably SHOULD have stayed in bed and rested, but one of my friends was down from Singapore. I ended up going out for brunch with her and then we hung around my house, talking and watching TV. So, there went my stitching plans for the weekend.

Here's my tiny update since the last time, it looks almost the same! I've been working on the background on the left side, it's grown bigger by a bit.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
