Wow! It's been a while since I've last posted anything. Well, I'm back now, and I hope to post blogs more often from time to time. Anyhoo, while I was away, I've been absorbing a new and exciting hobby for me. Wanna guess what it is? Okay, okay, I'll just go ahead and tell: it's ORIGAMI.
It started, oh...I'd say...about 6 months ago. A friend I know kindly gave me two packages of origami papers that he bought from a hobby store as a gift. Now before I go on, I just want to mention a little known fact about me: I've always known how to make a crane, and I've been making cranes for years. It's one of those things I can memorize, and can do "on the spot". Anyhoo, after I received the origami papers, right away, I made something...and, yes.. it was a crane (Gee, how can you ever guess, eh?) The next day, I came to realize that the package of the papers actually came with an instruction of how to make a box. To my surprise, I tried to follow the instruction, and before I knew it -- I'd made a box! After making that box, I kept making more boxes - some with different colors, some with different sizes. And then, it hit me - I wanted to make more origami! So, yes, I went to Amazon.com, and ordered a couple of origami books. I also went to the bookstores, and bought origami books there. Oh, and I even checked out the local libraries, and what do I know, they got really cool origami books there, too! ( And, they're for free! Yippie~!)
So, yes, I've been folding like crazy since then. Here are pictures of some of my origami that I've made. And, to tell the truth, I just couldn't believe that it all started because of those two packages of papers I got that one day :o)
