The Cat and Goat. Broken to Repaired!

Hello Everybody! I welcome you to this tiny blog of mine. It has not been so long ago since I have started this site and so far I am still having a uber (very) great time just making handmade jewelry.

Who am I you ask? If you already know, I say ^_^ Welcome Bacccccccccccccck!!! Hehehe

If you absolutely have no idea, I am not offended (I am just one of the billions of people on this earth. So the odds of you knowing me is like less than 1%?? : P ) Just read on!!

Hmmm... I thought about what I wanted to "blog about" and my topic of choice (at this very moment) is about .....The Cat and Goat!

I introduce to you Yellow the Cat (Yes, he replies and answers to the name "Yellow")

I find him uber cute for a cat that looks "young".

He is four years old and has 1/4 persian blood flowing in his veins as his Grandmother "Noni" was originally from the Tutong District and was 1/2 persian also.

(Note: If he looks his age to you in this picture...I say we should blame the person who took the picture in the first place for misleading us!!!)

Lol I reallllllllly like him as he is a very sweet and usually greets me whenever I come home. Yellow belongs to my younger brother.

hmmm.... I should say it now I guess...I like Cats a lot!! I could talk about them for hours!! ...But I won't do that here. (I will try not too...Maybe : D)

The other animal found in this picture is a goat who answers to the name "She-Mama".

She belongs to my father and is just two months plus old.

Her parents are within the house compound but they are not actually keen to be near humans unless its feeding time.

She-Mama is 100% goat but she acts and plays like a cat.

(She even chases after them, Most of the cats are on ok terms with her.)

She is the nearest animal to what my family can term as a dog.

My dad calls her by her name, she appears and follows him around the house like a very affectionate Puppy.

Lol she is definitely a pet goat who is here to stay as long as time permits.

I put this photo up as it was a rare moment for Yellow and She-Mama to be even this close. Yellow usually likes to keep his distance from her.

*Ahem* With that I end the short story about the cat and the goat.

So what have I been up too?I have been fixing bracelets that belong to my mom.

I happily agreed so that I can become better at fixing a many variety of bracelets.

I took a photo of what they look like before I fixed them.

The picture shows a mixture of beads, In total there are three bracelets.

In the end I managed to fix two and here they are!!

I am not showing the last one as it is a W-I-P(Work In Progress) and I wish to modify it again.

: P

Dw33b

One Dweeb's store of handmade dreams and unique stuff...

What is a Dw33b?

Hello everyone!! Finally i got this blog up and working. It has been sort of been at the back of my mind ever since i waited patiently to graduate from UBD. The results are out and the job search begins while i wait for convocation. (So close but far away...31 Oct 2009!! the day i officially say good bye to UBD life)

What can i tell you about me?
I like listening to a well-balanced variety of Music (At the moment listening to Khalil Fong, thank you to a very great friend of mine.)
I enjoy reading non-fiction, fiction, Manga (Japanese Comics) and Mahwa (Korean Comics!!)
Playing games using the many available platforms (PS2, PS 1, PC and hopefully in future PS3!!)

*Ahem* moving on from that short randomness let me continue with something random and end with something important (For dw33b)

After a looooooooooooong break from that first post,
I am back to get this blog/Online store active. One of the many online stores for Negara Brunei Darussalam!
My dream since i was a kid other than to become a Lawyer, Minister, Ninja..(The list goes on)
One of the many dreams i had growing up was to have my own store.
With the help of the internet this has become possible. ^_^
I am very excited to present to the people what i created with my very own two hands. I am VERY interested in making jewelery.

After watching "Confessions of A Shopaholic" the movie, and my many attempts which may be found in a Dw33b's FAQ. A part of my brain decided it was time I should try my hand at creating jewelry. So far I am having fun breaking down something "Normal" and turning it into a "Dw33b Creation".

My family helped in supporting this new found interest. My mother bought me my very first book on how to make jewelry.(Thank you mama! You are an inspiration). My dad has been giving me feedback as well as he is also a source of inspiration(Thank you Daddy for showing me "One is never to old to learn something new")

Now moving on, What is a dweeb?

A Nerd? Nope

A Geek? Getting closer
Is it a Combination of a Nerd and A geek???

uh... I don't think so ... a dweeb is different, this is my understanding of some traits to being a dweeb.

A Dw33b is

• Socially awkward
• Likes to give complex explanations to simple questions
• Has a real love for books
• Not an expert in computers

A brief explanation and randomness-ness, i end with something i consider important!

I FINALLY made my business cards
Here are some pictures of how it look likes







This was drawn by my very creative sister ,Dayana a few months ago. I lack the ability to draw so i am grateful that i have a sister who is a wonderful artist . I saw it and thought that it would look great as the back of my cards. It is very colorful and eye catching . I have included how it looks in the front also. My two younger sisters helped in picking the color of the words.





What am I planning to do next?
Well in the next few days i will be showing my jewelery and some T-shirts.
So basically i am a Bruneian dw33b making handmade jewelery and putting up some unique stuff.
Hopefully it does not rain and then i will be able to take photos of the things i have now.

See you soon ^_^

A Dw33b's Faq

An FAQ from a Dw33b who Dreams alot.

A big HELLO to everyone in the whole wide world!
I also like to specifically say Hello to my fellow Bruneians

Firstly before You and I go any further in this FAQ.

Click this link as it is meant for YOU. ^_^ (You will be redirected to my online store - Dw33b)

Ok Let us get this FAQ started!!

How do you pronounce Dw33b?

It is pronounced as dweeb. I have given a very brief explanation on what a Dweeb means to me over here.

Why the name Dw33b?
I wanted something short and complex at the same time. I was brainstorming with my two sisters on one lazy afternoon in the family living room. Many names were suggested like...In the Closet...Uh...I forgot the others but the name Dweeb came up. It was actually a joke but somehow I felt it was the right name to use. Now the parade of the Dw33b has begun...LoL

What is this Site?
This is an online store/blog where i sell handmade items and unique stuff. Some of the stuff over here are one of a kind or limited editions. I ENJOY creating these stuff. At the moment i make jewelry and I am in the middle of trying other things. I will continue to make these things because i feel a sense of accomplishment when i manage to create something. Now i understand how my sister feels when she does her baking/cooking. She by the way has a blog also, Kinda different but the same. Visit her here.

Why Handmade Jewelry?
I have tried my hand at a lot of things. Every attempt led me closer to this. Let me recap the things I have tried:

• Writing poems
• Writing Lyrics for songs
• I tried playing musical Instruments
• Growing a garden of flowers
• Decorating eggs
• Attempted to "modify" clothes
• Paint/Draw

Those were some of the things i tried and it did not work out. Still trying out other things but making jewelry is in my top 5 things I enjoy to do. Experiencing failure brings you closer to your dreams in a way.

How do you actually create your jewelry?

I see something and have this need to mix and match it. The creative process takes awhile as i "break" the item apart and then combine it, resulting in something that is simple but also different..in my eyes though. Lol I like to make it "look" Vintage.

Who is your target audience?

Honestly speaking, the things i have made so far are for Women and Girls. I do however have some things that are for Men and Boys which are considered limited editions. Overall my target audience is Anyone who is interested in the things i have to offer. Customers, Potential Customers and People who just came to look are welcome! I am definitely here for as long as people enjoy the items i have to offer. I am in this for the Long Run!! (For as long as I can Live, Breathe and function normally within the ever changing definition of "Normal" )
