1. Be able to open up another account for savings purposes.
2. Aiming to buy my very much wanted wish since three years, a laptop
3. Find a more stable job
4. Divide my precious w/ work, blog and time to spend it helping my kids with their studies.
5. Keep up my 3 blogs always updated. *crossing fingers. lol
6. look into my health condition. try to loose weight.
   

Will get back to keep this list full. ;) that's all for now.

Pardon for the lack of updates for the past weeks, I have been too busy with some activities both online and offline that I couldn't find time updating this one. Been beating up the holiday rush too. here are some of the highlighs of the activities the past days.



Last December 18 was my little daughter's Christmas party at school,




Received these Christmas goodies after the party @home:

1. Up :: Sky
   


2. Scram! ::Thief


3. Smell :: Sniff


4. Belong ::Mine


5. Doug ::Douglas?
   


6. Collar :: Deformed
   


7. Squirrel ::Stinky


8. Chinese :: Chinky eyes
   


9. Tracker ::Planner


10. Apartment ::Moved out
    

Two weeks to go and it will gonna be the most celebrated day of the year! I know that everyone is already busy preparing for the holidays. The party, food, reunions and gift givings. Speaking of gifts, I am not yet done with my lists for my family and friends as we haven't receive our 13th month pay yet so I am still short with my budget. haha! I am having a hard time thinking on what to give my mom since I really wanted it to be really special for her. The last time I gave her a blouse, she told me that I don't have to buy one for her. Oh you know moms! they aren't really interested with material gifts. DH suggested to give her roses instead, I think it's a nice idea! and knowing how she loves flower so much, she would definitely appreciate it and who wouldn't if you saw such beauty like this right?!

1. Gifts
2. Parties
3. 13th month pay and bonus. yey!
   
4. Reunions w/ family and friends
5. spending/ bonding time with family
   
6. Shop...shop..shop...
7. Great foods
8. Everybody's in a happy mood
9. Kids getting excited for their gifts from Santa
10. Less time for work, more time for the family!

I'm pretty sure everyone's busy today. As for me, we were just home and spent the whole day doing household chores and watching tv, got so scared with the halloween specials on tv programs. kids were busy playing and enjoying the day. Hope you had a wonderful Halloween.

This has been on my Christmas wish list every year. But am not loosing hope that one day it will be granted by Santa.. I've been always a good girl all year round! hehehe.

or if Santa is on a cost cutting budget because of many things that happened especially the last quarter of the year, I will find contentment for the meantime with this...

1. Coffee
   
2. Cakes and ice cream
3. Overspending at shopping
   
4. Excessive browsing over the internet. lol
5. Playing games in Facebook! I'm over with Farmtown and Farmvillle, addicted to Cafe World now. hee

Been very busy with offline activities lately and updating my 3 blogs requires a couple of hours of devotion. I've been meaning to update this yesterday but I was nursing a body ache. Last Friday we went to SM Megamall to do the grocery and shop some items for the kitchen, we got some nice items of water bottles and a refrigerator cover with some pockets for bills and other use. We also did repaint the bathroom and kitchen's wall with an old rose color as the old one was flaking off and had bubbled parts already from being submerged into the flood water. Next project will be putting up a new wall decor for our bedroom and had another customized cabinets for the kitchen. Been wishing to have sets of Teflon pans this Christmas, as if I know how to cook! lol. Had a 2 hour home service body massage last Saturday night and I really felt so relieve from stress and had a good night sleep but come Sunday morning, I am nursing a body and head ache! I thought it was due to the massage but I think it was because of my period that came on the said day. THe little girl's exam will be this week and it means I'll be having less time online to review her in preparation for the exams.

Been out of my online world for more than a week. I know that you all know the reason why! No thanks to Ondoy, our internet connection at home has not been restored yet as of this moment. It's been an exhausting experience and an eye opener to everyone. There are just things that we need to take care of. We need to prepare always for emergency situations. Most important of all is to never forget to pray to God! THIS has been what Ondoy did to us a week ago. We were not able to celebrate with my sister's birthday then. Pepeng came a couple of days after and did cause turmoil in provinces, particularly in Cagayan. There were 14 lives taken. An earthquake and Tsunami in some other parts of the world. We all need to keep abreast of the situation around us always.

These are my ten favorite athletes in no particular order:

1. Andre Agassi-Tennis
2. Tiger Woods-Golf
3. Serena Williams-Tennis
4. David Beckham-Football
5. Michael Jordan-Basketball
6. Kobe Bryant-Basketball
7. Maria Sharapova-Tennis
8. Paeng nepomuceno-Bowling
9. Manny Pacquiao-Boxing
10. Lydia De Vega-Track and Field
    

Future would definitely on the top list. But would like to share some of the short term goals/plans for us here:

1. I am planning to have a haircut or hair repair, got my hair rebonded last December and my hair's now dried up and growth curly hairs are now prominent. we'll see!
   
2. Gift to buy for my sister's birthday this weekend
   
3. DH's birthday coming up this October
   
4. Christmas Activity- this includes gifts to buy, parties to attend, Gabby's Christmas program.
5. Look for Gabby's school next year, she'll be in grade school.
6. Nicco entering pre-school next year, he'll be in nursery.
   
7. In lieu of #5 and #6, scheduling of study hours for both Gabby and Nicco.
8. Re-assess my work plans should I stay or should I quit? need a careful study
9. Set up another blog. hehehe
10. Setting up an online store.
    

And so the long weekend is about to end in just a few hours. If I could only freeze the time so I could squeeze in some things that I need to do and finish them all today, but I don't think I will be able to pull it off. Oh well, there's not much that I can share with our weekend happenings as we just stayed home last Saturday, did the same old boring routine, household chores, watch tv, laze around, did some senseless surfin' around the net. Half of Sunday was spent at our parents place and had a sumptuous lunch over there, went home by the afternoon nursing a terrible headache due to humid weather we had that day, seems like its gonna rain hard again today but despite Mr.Sun hiding from dark clouds, the temperature is still freakin' hot. I am now off to do some online activities, I need to upload photos, sort and clean up folders here at my PC.

Laughter is the best medicine

As the saying goes. When was the last time you did laugh? How do you feel after? Do you love it?

According to wikipedia :

Laughter is an audible expression or appearance of happiness, or an inward feeling of joy (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling, and other stimuli. Inhaling nitrous oxide can also induce laughter; other drugs, such as cannabis, can also induce episodes of strong laughter. Strong laughter can sometimes bring an onset of tears or even moderate muscular pain.
