Bye-bye 2009!

Goodbye 2009

2009 is a so-so year for me. Good but it could have been better. I didn’t work that hard unlike in the past two years. I didn’t take advantage of ALL the opportunities presented to me. I chose some and was content with that. This coming year, work harder is what I need to do. I will be more aggressive like what I did in 2007. Must step up for the new house…
;)

Pet shop and 2010

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

My cousin loves dogs. He has two at home now. It used to be four but two already died of old age. He cried over those two. He wants more dogs but with less attachment for now. He is thinking of taking advantage of the pet franchise opportunity that he learned from a friend. He is thinking of opening a pet shop that is mostly centered on dogs.

I was talking to him over the weekend. We are both of the same mind that 2010 should be a year for us to earn more and save up. No more unnecessary expenditures for the coming year. We have grand plans so we need funds to see it through.

Goof ball's off to Pangasinan

Monday, December 28th, 2009

We will be missing our goof ball for two days. Hazel is off to Pangasinan with her dad tonight. It’s very rare that I don’t see her falling asleep. I’m like the mother hen worrying if she’ll have a better place to sleep at. And what she’ll eat…

Here’s our goof ball playing with her skirt, pretending to be a nun hehehe

She’ll be back by the 30th, hopefully. Will miss her a lot!

Hot looking car

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Hans is looking for a dash kit and grills. He wants to make his old Hyundai car looking hot as a come on to the lady he likes. He wants his old car to look shiny and new so he is checking the hyundai accessories at CARiD.

He actually doesn’t have much time to check out accessories since he is busy with work. But the convenience of having an internet connection is that he can browse websites like CARiD.com and easily find the accessories he wants for his car. And then he can have the ones he chose and paid for delivered straight to his garage.

Looking for car accessories? Go to CARiD.com now!

Busy me =)

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

It’s been a hectic weekend for me. The past week as well. There were a lot of trips to the mall. Meeting with friends. Visiting our relatives. It was really busy, busy, busy!

Because of that, I was not able to update any of my blogs. In fact, I didn’t go online that much for the past three days. And I loved every minute I spent offline! I was able to see old friends and had one too many good conversations.

So how’s your holiday season so far?

Aches and pains

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I’ve been sick for a few days now. I have cough and colds and was running a fever until today. I thought I am okay already but when I woke up at midnight, I felt so dizzy once again. I took my time going through everything I need to do all the while thinking the dizziness would go away. But it didn’t. I ended up going offline just after a few hours.

It was tough working while sick. All I want to do is lie down on my bed and sleep. All food taste bland to me and swallowing is painful because of the sore throat. Too many aches and pains. Sigh.

I really wish this will go away tomorrow in time for Christmas eve.

Manage your home essentials

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Have you been in a situation where you can’t go out of the house because you are in the middle of something important but you need to because you run out of an essential item at home? I think most of us have already experienced this at least once in our adult lives. But now, there’s no need to worry about running out of an essential at home. All you need to do is go to Alice.com and you are as good as done with your shopping.

Set up your home at Alice.com and you can find a list of items you normally buy. Alice will keep track of everything for you and will even remind you if one of it is running low. Toilet papers, dishwashing items… you name it, Alice has it! What’s good about this site is that it is always free shipping. Plus, you get coupon savings because Alice automatically looks for and finds a coupon to be applied to your purchases. Thousands of products can be availed through this site.

I love the idea for this site because not all of us can always go and run an errand. Go to Alice.com now and start getting organized with your home essentials.

Random thoughts for today…

Friday, December 18th, 2009

When you have more than enough funds with you, you end up buying so many things for your favorite person in the world. In my case, I think I bought one too many gifts for Hazel already :D
Same time last year, I was in vacation mode and didn’t go online as much. 2009 is different with the recession and the $1-opp change from 3p. Income was not as good as 2008 this year so I can’t go on a vacation mode for now. Possibly on the 24th until January 1st.

When I am sick, I love to have someone serving me food and catering to my whims. That’s my sister, Meng! Hehehe. Hazel’s also massaging my temples to relieve the headaches. I hate being sick! I sleep all the time and even if I want to update my blogs, I don’t think I have enough energy to do so :(
Anyway, enjoy your weekend everyone! It’s just a few more days before Christmas…

For the past two days…

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I have been sick for the past two days now. In this current state of mine, an orlando vacations with the family sounds glorious! Theme parks, the beach, days of pure fun… Or a whole body massage after a few minutes of steam bath.

Or I can spend a whole day sleeping in. And waking up just to eat and use the bathroom and not think about emails that are piling up unread.

Now, that’s bliss!

Thank goodness for the med school graduation invitations

Trade School Graduation Party Invitation

Trade School Graduation Party Invitation

It’s a shame we are not in constant communication with some of our relatives who live outside the city. Thank goodness for the Med School Graduation Invitations that arrived the other day. If not for the invites, we wouldn’t even know two of our relatives are now doctors. The invites also came with medical school graduation announcements.

It reminded me of GraduationCardsShop that offers not only the aforementioned invites and announcements, they also offer law school graduation invitations as well as tech school graduation party invitations. If you want designs that are unique and exclusive, go to their web site and find the one you like. You can have any design or color adjusted as requested. They can print and ship on the same day if you need the cards rushed. Remember that http://www.graduationcardsshop.com is the web site to go to for your graduation invitations and announcements need.

Santino and Bro

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

If you are a Filipino, chances are you know Santino and Bro. And you may be a fan of the teleserye May Bukas Pa. Everywhere you look these days, you’d see evidences of how popular this child actor (Zaijian Jaranilla) is and the teleserye featuring him. When my sisters and I went to the mall the other day, we saw these gift items with Santino labels. Dolls, Bible stories, pens and papers, and even slippers!

Kids recognize Santino a mile away. Hazel is a big fan of the teleserye and we let her watch it because there is really a moral lesson to every episode shown. I was wondering why priests were promoting the teleserye before. Now I know why. We’ve been following the series for a couple of weeks now and I must say that it’s good for everyone.

There’s hope, inspiration… and a strong message to always trust in what the Lord plans for us. Keep the faith, in other words.

And guess what? People are now calling Jesus “Bro” and I like it! It has a more intimate-relationship-with-Jesus feel to it, don’t you think?

Happy Sunday to all!
;)
