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 
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…

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!

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.

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!

My cousin is now an overseas Filipino worker (OFW). He’s in the Middle East with one of our uncles. I feel for the families of OFWs, especially at a time like this. You cannot help but miss their presence. You cannot help but wish they are here with you, celebrating Christmas and having fun come New Year’s Eve. But just imagine how they feel with them being in a foreign land and missing their families at the same time. Doubly hard.
There are so many things to be lonely about. Weird weather condition. My cousin said that it’s freezing cold where he is right now. He might be in need of an electric blanket. If he’s here in the country, the weather is not a problem. The breeze is cooler now but not freezing cold. No Christmas where he is. That’s another thing. Not to mention not being with his family.
I can truly relate because my dad once worked abroad, too. We missed him for two Christmases so I know how it feels not to have a love on this season.

I asked my dad and his cousin to buy electrical supplies so we can replace the old wiring and what needs to be replaced at home. After watching news stories about faulty wiring causing fire, I told my dad that he better have ours checked. Better safe than sorry. I don’t mind spending on having our electric wires and receptacles checked from time to time if it means less to 0% chances of a fire. I encourage everyone to do this as well.
During Ondoy, a building two blocks away caught fire. Just imagine the dilemma of the firemen who came to rescue. The flood water was neck-deep and their trucks couldn’t cross the street, of course. They had to do some fast thinking to put the fire out but it still took them a couple of hours to figure out how to go about crossing the flood water. During that time, residents from the nearby blocks were panicking because the fire was crossing through electrical wires! We were one of the families who panicked. Fire is something you cannot take lightly. Especially if you live in a neighborhood like ours where houses stand side by side.

I’m in my in-between books mode once more. I was supposed to read Smash Cut by Sandra Brown right after Hush, Hush but I am not over Patch yet so I have to stop. I still have a lot of unread books waiting for me. I feel like there’s not enough time for reading. I also just bought Twisted Travels by Jessica Zafra.
Twisted Travels
My friends know that I am a big fan of hers. She’s witty and sharp and really good in what she does. Read one of her articles and you’ll want to read more of her work. I think I have all her Twisted books.
My first Twisted book.
Anyway, I hope to be able to read more books by next year. Obsessed talaga ako sa pagbabasa at pagkokolekta ng books. If I have my own house, sigurado I have a library instead of an entertainment room. Hehe! Buying lots of books lang naman ang indulgence ko aside from eating out

I am waiting for the life insurance rates from my friend. He now works for an international insurance company. I am getting several quotes to be sure that I am getting the best plan at the lowest possible price there is.
I have learned my lesson already. For the past three years, I’ve been spending more on so many unimportant things. This time around, I will be wiser. I will canvass, compare and contrast, research some more, before I actually shell out money. There are more important things to spend on and I want to be able to save enough for those.
