A Thought.
“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.”
~Margaret Young
Dr. Seuss.
That is DS’ flavor of the month. He frequently carries around his Dr. Seuss books. I got him two Dr. Seuss sticker books which was supposed to be for Christmas. However, he got sick last week and seemed very bored so I gave him the books. Now I am still in search of additional little gifts for him. I am thinking of getting him garage set and similar toys as he likes playing with little structures to create his own little village. He will most likely enjoy toy car accessories and toy traffic signs as well.
Just Because.
I haven’t posted any personal photos in a while as I haven’t had the time to update my Flickr. I hope this will do for now.

New Moon.
I missed the movie, the movie date with friends, that is. DH has been prodding me to go, but I couldn’t as DS is sick. He’s better now and may be able to go back to school next week.
We spent most of last week in the house as both DS and I were both under the weather. I got bored watching TV so I just checked for houses and even apartments for rent in the internet. I love browsing for beautiful homes.
Now I’m not as bored with TV. I am on 24/7. Heehee.

Random.
We attended Bela’s 4th birthday last Saturday and DH had a blast dancing and seeing Jollibee. Earlier that day, we dropped by Richwell Sale. We were among the early birds and I was a bit disappointed with the toys. They weren’t as nice as last year. Surprisingly though, we were able to buy several toys. It was mostly DS’ choices so the trip was still worth it.
I got hold of the brochure of organic products that I have lost a couple of weeks ago. Finally I can order the beauty oil I have been meaning to try. I hope it helps to get rid of lines and dark circles.
Excited to see New Moon. DS has a fever and colds though. I should bring him to the pedia the soonest.
And as always, I haven’t downloaded last Saturday’s party’s photos. Sigh. I have tons of photos to upload.

On Accounting.
My cousin who lives abroad is now on the process of expanding her business. His husband is an accountant, and a good one I might add. However, she still decided to get the services of Kondler, Chavez & Koch, a respected Las Vegas accounting firm. She thought that it will be better if such firm will handle her business’ accounting needs instead. Anyway, this firm has a group of highly competent CPA’s and has been serving various organizations and companies. Some of which are auto dealerships, petroleum distribution, developers, contractors, professionals and high net-worth individuals. Aside from that, the firm also offers various tax services, business consulting and financial services. Get to know more about them at www.kondlercpa.com.
Movie Date.
Going on a movie date with the girls. After much arte, I decide to join. I hope this pushes through. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been inside a movie theater.
Deck The Halls.
We haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet. DH has just finished painting the living room white, and I still need to do a major cleaning first. Aside from my son’s things all over the living room {which he happily refers to as his playroom}, he already has a few doodles on the wall and some doors. I have to get Flexo ink cleaner on my next trip to the mall to clean up the mess.
Then I am still contemplating if I should replace our curtains with wooden blinds. We have 3 windows in the living room so I am bit worried that it might look heavy if put wooden blinds on all of them. So how do I decide? I guess, I will just depend on the cost of the blinds. If I can afford it, then I will have my curtains changed. Otherwise, the curtains will stay.

Fun Fun Fun.
Fun day today. Attended little Dom’s first birthday party and went home happy with lots of loots. We didn’t go home after the party as DS requested to go to SM Megamall. We checked out the TK Warehouse sale but we didn’t buy anything. DH said that it’s not worth to wait at the long line at the cashier since we only have two toys. So we just went around the mall, looked at dining tables, sofa and even ping pong table. DS went home with a new book in tow.
New Moon Trailer.
This is what keeps me awake at night and gives me the darkest undereye circles ever. I am reading the book again. This time I try to take in the parts without Edward. The first time I read it, I read way too fast on parts without Edward as I can’t wait for him to appear again. A few more nights and I’ll be done and be back to my earlier bedtime.
Int’l. Scrapbooking Day.
There are tons of sale all around digiland. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing, but I just withdrew all my money so I don’t have anything left for shopping. It’s good I guess. First, I’m not scrapping so there’s really no need to buy. And Christmas is coming, so expenses are unavoidable. Add to that, there are new models of digital cameras coming out. Who knows, I might replace my current digicam soon.
New Moon.
I have been reading New Moon again, in preparation for the movie. I hope I can watch the movie though. The first one, I just saw it on DVD. Anyway, I am again reading from my cellphone and it’s making my head ache again. It’s ok though as I am halfway already.
