Party.
I have been to quite a number of parties already. And among those, I am most pleased with the sound system of this party held at a bar. You would really notice the difference of those using bose l1 and the likes, with those using just the usual sound system. Even if the music is so loud, I could say that it was still pleasing to the ears, unlike the others where you could feel like your eardrums are ready to burst anytime. It made me realize that it is indeed so much better to invest in a high-quality system and you will truly get your money’s worth.
Work Area.
Thinking of doing some improvements in my little corner. And maybe some decluttering too. Making it look even just a little something like the photo below would be so great.
Home and Shopping.
I love staying at home. Of course once in a while I do enjoy going to new places, window shopping at the mall, but most of my time is spent indoors. I could only imagine if we already had our dream house built. I would surely spend the majority of my time in there. One of my favourite things to do while at home is tinkering with my laptop. I enjoy browsing the internet for home ideas and inspirations. My recent find is this furniture store here.
It has tons of furniture selection. And right now they are having a huge spring sale with discounts going up to 65% off, with free delivery as well. You surely can’t beat that. I am currently thinking of doing some upgrade/redecoration of my small office area so I frequent their home office section. I love going through their living room section, too. I can see so many selections that will fit our little home. Of course, the sale section is my most frequently checked section. There are so many tempting offers in there. You can likewise browse their store by manufacturer. They carry American Eagle Furniture, ATHome USA, Leather Italia, Parker Living and a lot more. Hurry check out their shop now and grab some real bargains!

Music Lessons.
We don’t have any planned summer activities for DS. While I am kinda regretting it, DS on the other hand, doesn’t mind at all. He actually prefers staying at home more than anything. Thanks to the iPad. And to Plants vs Zombies, which he only got to enjoy recently. I would love to have him try some music lessons, as I was really pleased with a friend’s son who is just so good with the drums. I asked DH to play his guitar once in a while just to encourage DS to try out some instruments (which reminds me to have a look at the xlr to 1/4 at guitar center). I would have love to tinker with the piano too, but that needs some fixing. Anyway, I guess we are gonna be home bound this summer.
Cool Yet Cheap Way To Display Instagram Photos.
Have them printed 5×5, cut a little on the edges then slide them into one of those slim CD cases. Hang them on the wall using some 3m strips.

Making Me Busy.
Learning Russian and reading about cigar ratings are what’s keeping me busy. Seriously, I came across this Russian site where I can download various cross stitch projects and I have been hooked to the site ever since. There are just too many nice projects in there and I can’t wait to start. That I will do when I get to download all the projects I am planning to do. I am keeping my fingers crossed though that I get to finish the project. It has been years since I completed a project. And most of them I gave away. It’s about time I do something that I can hang in the house.
Just A Thought.

makes the water undrinkable.
A spoon of salt in a lake
is almost unnoticed.”

Stackable Rings.
Aside from charms, I am likewise into stackable rings. I just love small pieces of jewelry, like thin rings, necklaces with really thin strands, etc. I rarely wear pieces of jewelry though. But just the same, I still want to collect such rings. Never mind if I need to look into men’s wedding rings at jewelryvortex.com. I will still set aside fund for my rings. Good thing I found a nice store selling those. Now I need to look for the budget to fund my current addiction. I love how you can change the look just by mixing and matching them. See, you can never have too much of those rings!

Lootbags.
Don’t have enough time to order giveaways. I would have wanted wooden cube boxes similar to the one we received from a party this weekend. But I guess something similar to this will do.

DIY.
Now more than I ever, I think I will need DH’s assortment of tools, adjustable levers or whatever. We are DIY-ing DS’ birthday celebration thus the need for such tools. It will just be a simple celebration like always. Unlike the previous years though, this time DS is serious about his theme and he is so eager to help me come up with his candy buffet and various designs for the party. I really do hope we can pull the theme off. It’s a hard one as the theme is not so popular here and I am not sure if the other kids will get it. It’s DS’ party anyway and pleasing his is more than enough for me.
Baked Fish.

Choices Choices.
We have been receiving several flyers from various summer schools nearby. It’s nearing summer vacation that’s why there have been people distributing such in my son’s school. I know DH will get excited choosing bass guitar strings and the likes, for DS, if he tries music lessons. I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one. However, I think DS is nowhere near that yet. As of now, listening to the music from his iPad is more than enough for him.
Minecraft Printables.
We are currently going crazy over these Minecraft printables. They are fun!

Counted Cross Stitch.
I am grabbing free cross stitch patterns online like crazy. I am thinking of going back to the hobby. So aside from looking for letterhead printing online, I am all over Pinterest and following links to collect various cross stitch patterns. It just makes me so happy whenever I come across a really nice pattern. Now selecting which one to do first is going to take me a while. And then stitching and finishing it, surely will take me so much longer. Here’s one of my favorite patterns.
