... from our vacation in Caramoan, Camarines Sur!
I am back last Saturday. I still need rest because our trip was really really tiring! Imagine traveling for 8 hours in 3 different transportation! My back hurts and I had headache after that. Going inside an airconditioned car and then out in a very hot weather is causing my headaches! Thank God I have medicines with me. Thanks to my husband who reminded me to buy some before leaving.
So I am still on vacation mode. I might not be here for a while. I have a lot of backlogs to do and I need to upload photos from our vacation on my flickr. I wish I have 10 hands to do those. LOL!
I will be just here. It's good to be back!
If you were to ask me what are my collections I will gladly answer that I love collecting art supplies. From pens to notebooks to different things that an artist use. I asked my friend what they collect and some answered me shoes, bags and clothes. I am not a collector of those. I am satisfied with what my mom gives to me as a gift or what I see at the mall that I really like. In terms of shoes I am not a shoe person. I am comfortable in wearing just slippers in all of my get ups. Well, not on any formal events. hihihi! I admire other women's shoes also but not to the point that I am eager to buy everything that she has. hihiihih!
I love my camera strap slip cover! Really nice design! Look!
A very beautiful damask slip cover from Shey. Bought this here. I bought the black and red damask slip cover. I super like it so much!
I noticed that my mother's bathroom faucets has a leak. Mom wasn't here so I told dad about it. And I hope he will have it fixed. It is annoying to wash your hand in a damaged faucet.
Ok What happened to me today? Hubby and I went to the 8th birthday party of our niece. It was a pool party and we had a blast. It was a happy celebration. Happy Birthday Zhamae!
I was talking with my husband last night about what happened to my day and I mentioned something that leads us to the talking of how was our income for a month. Hubby told me that we are doing fine but there are still debts to pay and told me that we can do this. We can surpass every endeavor that will come our way. It is not easy for me who doesn't have regular work. I guess we need to apply on debt consolidation next month so that at least we can breathe. Wish us luck!
I am so tired and sleepy these past few days. I've been working real hard because I need money. Hubby and I need money for the repair of our bus. It had an accident last last week and we need to save up for the payment of the repair. I hope that this phase shall pass. I can't bear to see my husband being problematic about this. It is so stressful to him. I know we can do this. God help us.
What did you wear today?
~ Shorts and Spaghetti Strap top. I am ready for bed.
Whats one thing you want to buy right now?
~ I want to buy the digi files grab bag but paypal is broke. Sigh!
Where do you want to travel to?
~ Hong Kong disneyland.
Who would you go with?
~ My family and husband.
What kind of food would you eat?
~ Pasta and chicken dish.
What are you listening to?
~ The sound of the TV.
Is there any song stuck in your head?
~ None.
What do you most feel like doing this week?
~ Paper Scrap.
Get up. Walk to your living room. What do you see?
~ My niece's stroller.
Get up. Walk to your kitchen. Whats the first thing you notice?

What are you thinking right now?

Thanks Alpha!
I am sad to know that a friend is in the hospital right now. Hospitals are my enemies. I hate going there. I remember Huey whenever I am at the hospital. Not that i don't want to remember my child but the pain comes back to me. Everything that happened during his passing away comes back to me when I am at the hospital. All those thing happen even if I only pay a visit to a family or friend there. So I can't say that I totally moved on already. I guess I haven't moved on.
Okay new topic... I noticed that hospitals here in our place doesn't have any handicapped toilet. I saw one patient during our visit at the hospital suffering from the toilet seat. It is so low. Raised toilet will be better for him.
And speaking of handicapped and raised toilet, I found this one site that have these and I can say that the store is a great place to buy medical supplies. They are priced on sale right now so hurry get them while you can!
You Sometimes Don't Get Enough Sleep |
 You're often more tired than you'd like, and you're probably not getting enough quality sleep. Sleeping a little more could make you a lot more energetic and happy. Try having a bedtime, keep your bedroom cool, and only eat fruit before bed. |
Got this from Chikai. Thanks!
1. WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST CLASSMATE IN COLLEGE? Nez and Lira.
I can see my only earring on my table right now. My sister borrowed it for her interview this afternoon. I hope my little earrings did wonder on her interview. I hope it has magic on it! Hahahahha! I wish i have some money to buy a new Designer Jewelry but nadah! Nothing in my paypal money right now. i am so broke. I need money right now. anyone can lend me? Sigh! I saw this great site that has tons of beautiful jewelries. I am drooling on that site. I will save up for those beautiful earrings. I need a gift for myself for working hard. I need to work harder to get money for my savings and get what I want in that site. They have a lot of good quality designs there. I like all of them!

It is my dream to attend a destination weddings. Although I already attended my brother's wedding in Davao. i still want to attend a different culture wedding. I want it to happen in some place where I haven't went to. Somewhere abroad and far from our place. i think it will be a fun one! It will be a great vacation also! doable purposed of the travel right? so if you are thinking of having a wedding outside the Philippines why not try in Mexico? It is a great place and it is perfect for beach weddings! If I will get married again i will chose a beach wedding this time. I want a great view of the ocean while the ceremony. It is really romantic right?

Ok I need to finish researching some 800 number for a friend. She needs to reserve one for their company.
I would like to share this photo of my niece to all of you.
She is really cute here.
I've been stuck on this Ephedrasil hardcore site. I think the site is perfect for a friend who badly needs dieting and losing weight. She didn't take good care of her body. I love her college days body and now she ruined it. She is asking me last time whats the best diet pill I tried. I cannot answer her because I haven't tried any so what I did was to research online and I am glad I found the Ephedrasil Hardcore. I will suggest this one to her.
I joined the bandwagon. I started last January 1 in taking photos everyday. It was something new to me since I am always lazy to take a photo. This is really fun and I got to practice my photography skills. I hope to finish it until I reach 365th photo.
Wish me Luck!

See you there!!!
One of my childhood friend is here in Bicol. She came back last week from the US. I heard she is having an issue about their immigration. They need to get an immigration attorney ASAP. She wants to live there for good and it is her dream to become a resident there with her family. I don't know what really happened about the issue but I am just here for her. She is one of the person who made my chilhood life memorable. I wish you good luck my friend!
We will go to Manila tomorrow. We need to accompany a friend who will be buying cloth and things for their wedding on February. I am sure I will be needing a Plantar Fasciitis after this. We will be walking a lot since we will be looking for a lot of stores. Wish me luck! And oh this travel only means a lot of shopping! My wallet has 500 pesos I will buy thing in that amount only. wahahahhaha!
I am thinking of making a big change on our life this 2009. We want to get pregnant in 2009 and I hope the baby plans will be successful. I hope to have a healthy baby this time. We are also allotting some of our savings to continue renovating our house. I wanna paint the external part of our house. And also get a new tv stand for our TV in our bedroom. I wanna get a water purifier and some furniture for our kitchen. I hope to get this done before 2009 ends. Wish me luck!
In February, 2009 my friend Melissa will get married to hubby's friend Jeff. They are a great couple and friends. I am happy that they are settling down already. Melissa told me that she still wants to have a simple kind of engagement rings before she gets married. Well it is up to Jeff if he will still give my friend a simple one right? What is important is the wedding and their love to each other. I love them both!
I always want to have a wood flooring but with the cement floor we have we need to use tiles on our floor. But my dream house has wood flooring. I remember when I play The sims2 I will always get the wood flooring for my house. I am happy when I use the wood flooring on my house in Sims2. The house is neat and in proper order. It is a great design to the house also. If I won the lottery I will surely buy my dream house first and of course with wood flooring in it!
I am watching the news right now and there are a lot of road accidents in Manila. I hate seeing a lot dies in car accidents. There are drivers who are so irresponsible and doesn't even care about the rules and watch traffic signs. And because of that I am thinking that term life insurance is really important to everyone. One should get one to be sure. You'll never know what will happen to you next. Knock on wood.
I can't sleep well yesterday and so is hubby. I don't know maybe our bed is the problem. You know we sleep on a single bed. Yes, in a single bed. We can sleep there. That is why maybe it is uncomfortable to sleep with. I need to get a larger bed with heated mattress pads. It will change our sleeping I guess. I saw this site that offers a great deal and I can't stop drooling about that mattress. I love the colors of the bed sheet and I want to have it. But it is so sad I still don't have the money for it. :(
This is so cute right?
I bought this at etsy.com for my little niece Nadine. It is so cute I bought it the day i saw it on etsy. My sister in law wanted to have a crochet shoes for her daughter while she was still pregnant. This is my Christmas gift for her. She loved it!
I have been searching for a nice lighting fixtures online. I want to put one on our living room. I am on a shopping mode but sadly no money yet. I am waiting for someone to pay on my paypal. I hope I can get before new year starts. I want a beautiful living room to start a year right. And I want a nice light for our house. Our light there right now is dim so I need to get a bright one. Ok browsing some site again. Later!
