Ouch.

My back aches. Both real life and online life have been busy. But as I said, it’s all good. It is just so timely that our househelp left already. Oh well. I know that things are bound to get better.
Sharing something nice.

Designer Jewelry.

I was looking through my wish list cart and I realized that I put too much watch in there. I am not really a watch person but I guess I got trigger happy and clicked “add to wish list” a little too much. Anyway, I am more into charm bracelets. I am, in fact, asking […]

My Plans For Today.

My day will be filled with mommy-, wife- and maid-duties. However, I might be needing some sleeping time later so let’s see what I’ll be able to accomplish.
1. What are your plans for today? I won’t plan as much as I really hate it when things that I had planned do not push through. So […]

Workbooks.

I was able to buy a few workbooks from Booksale earlier. I also bought one for Sandy and Martha. These are new workbooks (of course, no one can re-sell a used workbook), and they are so cheap. I would have wanted to buy more books (for Olin especially) but I didn’t have enough cash with […]

Stock Options.

I know nothing about investing in stocks. My bosses from my first job were into stocks and I often hear them talk about it. I tried researching about it on the internet and it led me to PowerOptions. I have been learning a lot about stock options trading from the site, through their tips, publications, […]

The Color Purple.

I thought it would look nice with green so I chose purple. So we had the workers paint the bathroom wall purple. Lo and behold, what used to be an OK bathroom now looks bad, really bad. What irritated me the most was they only let me see it when they are almost done with […]

Pillow Talk.

I wonder where I can buy inexpensive cotton cloths with pretty and colorful prints. I want to make new covers for the pillows in the daybed. I also want to try the sewing machine Glo bought for me. Oh yes, it’s been weeks (or months?), and still I haven’t used it. I guess that’s the […]

About Weddings.

I enjoyed watching the Ryan-Judy Ann wedding special on TV. It is a simple wedding filled with so much love and good friends. But though it may look simple, I know that pulling off an out-of-town wedding such as theirs is indeed hard and expensive. But despite that, a lot of couples still prefer destination […]

Si Popoy.

I don’t think I have blogged about cute poster yet. This is me with Popoy. Joy made each of us a poster and I’m sure she had a blast doing it. She is one resourceful person, going through my wedding photos posted at webshots to find this angle. I really love how this turned out. […]

To Buy or Not.

I am thinking if I really need a mini laptop or not. My initial plan was to use the small laptop, to read, browse or whatever, while I wait for DS in school. But then I am planning not to join them in school anymore since DH will be with him anyway. So there’s really […]

Investing.

With the economic crisis going on, we need to know how to manage our money properly. You’ll never know what is going to happen next. Even saving your money in a bank isn’t the wisest option nowadays since there are banks closing here and there. I have been reading about gold bullion investment lately. They […]

Shopping For Books.

I am alone most of the time when I browse for discounted books. DS and DH are usually playing somewhere in the mall. Last week was different. I had DS with me when I went to the store. I tell you, DS had fun looking and picking out his favorite books. He was so excited […]

Crazy For Arthur.

DS just loves Arthur. Arthur is the main character of a book created by Marc Brown. So I make sure I buy every Arthur book I see. I do not buy from the bookstores though as it costs almost 5 times the price from discount bookstores. And I never realized how much he really likes […]

A Favor.

Our wedding give-aways were not as unique. They were nice but I think if I put more thought and time on it, we could do so much better. My in-laws will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in a few months and I’m searching the internet for unique wedding favors. If ever the plan of […]

Re-arranging.

I want to re-arrange the living room once again. After the long wait, the pin lights were finally installed. Now I think that I should change the arrangement of the living room, and maybe get rid of some stuff, to make the space more clean and maximize the effects of the small lights. Wish me […]
