Sitting in Front of a Vanity

girlie — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:20:11 +0000

I was spending way too much time browsing the internet when I chanced upon this website which made me realize what I lack in our home. In the early years of my marriage, I’ve been discussing with the husband and convincing him that we need some dressing tables at home. I grew up in a home where I was used to seeing these dressers as how my Mom would call it. Apparently in their household, they never owned one. So I understand if this is not his priority, and I too forgot about it until recently. I have an 18 year old and I see that part of her wish list is to own a vanity table. I think it’s about time that I tell the husband that it’s really needed.

A Happy Convert

girlie — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:08:11 +0000

It’s a whole new experience for me. I can say that it has an edge, well this is just my opinion. I’m enjoying the speed right now, and I have yet to learn the keyboard functions as well as the shortcuts. I know I sound so ignorant despite that fact 2 members of the family are Mac users. It’s just that I haven’t gotten myself to touch and learn. Anyway I am getting by and I now wouldn’t exchange it for anything else well except for another Mac.

Miss my Bike

girlie — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:23:33 +0000

I miss biking. I haven’t been riding for years now. I couldn’t believe that I stopped. At some point, biking was my life. I would wake up early and join the husband, there was even a time that I joined a bike run which is a very memorable experience for me. I was so into it that we even bought suv bike rack. I should think it’s a must if you are into this sport. There is no need to remove parts of the bike just to be able to get it inside the car. It’s also very convenient. Now if you ask me if I still want to go back to biking, my answer is NO. I am enjoying too much the sport I am into.

Nearing the Golden Year

girlie — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:14:32 +0000

In a few years I will be a golden girl. Am I looking forward to it? Of course I am and I promised myself that this time I will really celebrate. No, it wouldn’t be a grand celebration but instead I just want an intimate dinner with loved ones and friends. Normally when people ask me what I want, I don’t hesitate to tell them. I know it’s going to be a load off their back if I say so. So here are the 50th birthday gifts I want to receive. Anything will do as I love everything in there. So now you have an idea of what I want already, ok? So I expect you to come

A Work Opportunity

girlie — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:02:02 +0000

For people out there looking for jobs, you might want to consider these Valet Jobs I saw online. This is already a great opportunity especially to those ones who are having a hard time finding jobs. I’ve read a lot of stories, I’ve seen it on television that a lot of people are jobless due to the recession. This is then a great work opportunity, a decent one in fact. This could be the answer to your prayers too.

I Miss Baguio

girlie — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:41:18 +0000

We got back last night. We only spent 2 nights in Baguio and we all miss the place. Or is it probably more of the stress-free vacation that we had? We seldom do this as a family, like travel just the four of us. We always tag along a nanny on local trips and it’s such as welcome treat not having one this time. It’s teaching my kids not to get dependent on their nanny. I saw that they can actually do more without her. One more thing that I enjoyed is being alone with my family. We can discuss anything under the sun, we need privacy too you know.

Anyway, we all decided to have this after Christmas holiday yearly. It’s something to look forward to and it’s a wonderful way to bond with the family.

I Want to be Debt Free

girlie — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:50:59 +0000

Everyone of us wants to be debt free! That’s actually part of New Year’s resolution for many of us, me included. But do we really know how to go about it? Why do we still find ourselves drowning in debt even if we want to eliminate it? Do you think these debt free solutions will work? I wanna give it a try, seriously I wanna get rid of all my debts before 2012 ends. I know I don’t have the time to do it now, but hopefully I will be debt free in 2013. This is something to really look forward to.

Guide Me

girlie — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:57:39 +0000

The husband just recently bought a gps for her daughter to use. Yes, she knows how to drive but she doesn’t know how to go places. I admit, this gps thing is a big help especially for her. I guess it’s the same thing for truck owners to install gps for trucks. Those drivers don’t need to go in circles when new to the place. I think most vehicles nowadays have this gps thing and it proves only one thing, it’s really very useful.

The Conversion

girlie — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:35:17 +0000

Weeeeeee! I am pretty excited. I’ve converted finally! I don’t know what to expect although I already have an idea, both husband and daughter are mac users. Ish is going to give me a tutorial because I know it will kinda be hard for me especially the synching and all. My first ever Mac will arrive this January from the US coz I asked the husband’s friend to buy it for me there. I asked him to buy a keyboard too. How I wish I could let him buy the monitor for me, but as it is I no longer have a budget for than. I am getting a generic one. I am very thankful for the writing tasks that I regularly have because it lets me buy some stuff that I really like. See, I am not too dependent after all like what everyone thinks.

Unique As It Is

girlie — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 06:25:52 +0000

I am very fond of unique items. I really spend time looking for them since I want to be the only one who has it. Do you get that feeling sometimes? I have a lot of overwhelming experiences when it comes to unique items. I love the compliments that I get more than anything else. It’s hard to score one and it’s an effort on my part and that’s the reason why I feel so happy when it gets appreciated. When it comes to jewelry, I am the same too. I want my setting to be different from the rest. I want the color combination to be unique too. In other words I really think hard about the designs so that I will be the only one who has it. I also go for items that I think people do not know yet. I want to be the first one to discover it, well at least among friends and acquaintances. Take for example these Glass Pendants, I don’t see pretty much of these nowadays. I don’t see them hanging on people’s necks. Seeing the colors and shapes, it makes me want to own one and be the first among the rest. This is not widely used here in the country that I live in, so I want to be the first to introduce it to them.

Music is in the Family

girlie — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:44:52 +0000

Both my kids got into music, well at least they tried. My eldest chose the guitar, while my youngest picked the violin. Due to lack of time, they never really got into it. I am sure though that one of these days they will go back to it. I wonder if my boy would ask me to purchase an Ibanez Bass, since it’s really him who is so much interested for now. I wouldn’t question that, I’d rather have him go into music than anywhere else. This is the reason why I support my children when it comes to music. Well not only that, it’s probably because I was into music too in my younger days, and I got the support of my parents.

It Can Make a Wonderful Gift

girlie — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:11:06 +0000

Thinking of giving something cool for Christmas or any occasion for that matter? I would suggest burning a couple of your favorite songs. I’ve seen a lot of this being done in weddings. The couple would have CDs as their giveaways. It’s not hard doing this stuff nowadays and you can even do it at the last minute what with thefast cd duplication we have. Anything is possible now I should say. I’d love receiving this kind of presents as I am into music a lot. I guess everyone would be appreciative of this since music is universal. What do you say to this?

It’s December?

girlie — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:33:33 +0000

Wow! Time goes by pretty fast. I just remembered celebrating the yuletide season not too long ago. Is it because we’re too busy that we don’t notice how time flies? Sometimes I don’t really know if I like it or not. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I don’t because I hate the fact that my kids are growing up too fast and before I know it they will have a family of their own. Yikes, why am I even thinking about this, no not yet. Anyway, I am excited because this is my favorite part of the year. I get to see all my loved ones because of family gatherings here and there. Oh this reminds me of my sisters whom I have not seen in 3 years. I miss them terribly. Hopefully I get to see them soon.

The Cross that I Love!

girlie — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 10:40:32 +0000

I grew up appreciating jewelry be it the real ones or the fancy ones. It’s probably because I often see my Mom and my Aunts wear them. Now it can be told that my love from jewelry came from them. I started with earrings. I think it’s standard for a female child getting their ears pierced before they turn 7. I had mine before I turned 7, and I had my daughter’s ears pierced when she was a baby, a few days after she was born. Then comes other jewelry. I remember my Mom letting me wear a Cross Neckalce Pendant, and I was just so proud of it. I still have it with me until now. I think all four girls in our family wore one. I just don’t remember if others wore fancy. Well my other sister wore something like this Gold Cross Neckalce Pendant I found online. Funny that up until now I find myself still looking for a unique Silver Cross Neckalce Pendant which I can let my daughter use. I guess it’s the fascination for a cross pendant which I grew up with. Now I can see my daughter’s love for it as well. I bet this love for jewelry will carry on from generation to generation. I just can tell.

Solution to Identity Theft

girlie — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 01:37:24 +0000

Have you ever wondered how safe you can get nowadays? Have you heard about your identity being stolen? Scary isn’t it but it’s happening. I’d like to call these stuff electronic stealing. They can steal your identity even without touching your stuff. There’s no need for these thieves to slash your bag to be able to get something. Yes we are already in the 21st century and all these things are happening. But don’t fret, there are still people out there who are after our security and they have developed this so called rfid for our protection. The good thing about it is that it is readily available. You can even purchase it at select stores already. I think I am getting myself one and I am asking my sisters to get it for me because I don’t think we have it here as of yet. How about you, have you thought of getting one for yourself?

Love for the Sea

girlie — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 01:23:02 +0000

Florida is a really nice vacation spot. I have not been there personally but based on what I read, it’s a beautiful place and this is validated by people who has been there already. Florida is part of my bucketlist and the daughter’s too, but hers is another story. Visiting Florida is all the more exciting for me especially now that I have renewed my love affair with the sea. Definitely I will read about the florida fishing guide so that I will know how to go about it so as not to waste time. When on vacation I make it a point to maximize and to squeeze in all the activities that I have in mind. I just know that this will be an exciting trip and it’s not impossible to fulfill this dream, after all it’s not that hard to go to America.

My Bellarocca Experience

girlie — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:59:43 +0000

When SIL told me that we were going to Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa, I got really excited. Seeing the place in photos really impressed me. It reminds me of Santorini. I haven’t been there and I have really been vocal that it’s included in my bucketlist. Anyway, it was a very nice experience. I went snorkeling and kayaking for the first time. Good thing I regularly go to the gym so I didn’t find the activity strenuous. Why did I not go into this thing before? It’s like half my life will be missed if I hadn’t tried it at all. I love it that my companions were into this kind of stuff and they were able to persuade me to try it. I was a bit hesitant at first coz I was really scared. I dunno but once you get to be a Mom you are no longer as adventurous as you used to be. Yeah that’s it! Will share more about this trip.

Soap Made for Sensitive Skin

girlie — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:02:22 +0000

I’m a sucker for anything organic. It’s a bit pricey so for now I only choose the ones that I really need and the ones that I can afford. There was a time I was looking for an organic soap solely for sensitive skin (eczema) for my son. He’s got very sensitive skin. I read about this african soap and good enough it’s made with 100% pure shea butter. Shea butter really helped with my son’s skin condition. I let him use shea butter lotion and that alone helped, how much more if he uses the soap too. I hope I will be able to order the soap asap so it can help improve his skin.

Beautiful Eyes

girlie — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:04:39 +0000

What catches your attention when you see someone? It has always been the eyes for me. This is the reason why I always see to it that I have beautiful expressive eyes. I always make it a point to brighten it up. Let’s face it, the works can do it too. I’ve done different eyeshadow colors so I would know what compliments my eye. Lately I have thought of doing eyelash extension but then again I am not still solved with the idea. I better take a look at these eyelash growth products reviews, who knows I’d be able to find something that really works and I don’t need to go and have the extensions after all. I heard there are really good products that does it. Well, let’s see then I’ll let you know.

Shopping Time Again

girlie — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:53:19 +0000

It’s the time of the year again. I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping already and I need a few more to complete it. I hope to finish it before everyone else rushes to the malls. I can’t imagine falling in line for ages just to pay. It’s a good thing this barcode scanner was introduced. It can reduce your time at the cashier by half or even more. Whoever thought of this is a genius. I don’t think I can go to a mall with a cashier doing stuff manually, I just don’t have all the time to wait. We’re all busy, you know.

Tropics…but…WTH?

girlie — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:46:24 +0000

Went to different malls to look for some cardigans. Either then don’t have it or I can’t afford it. I want it in different colors so I’m looking for a price that would give in to that whim. Where do I go? 168 Mall came in mind first, so I went. I am glad I was able to find one that I liked and in 8 colors. I still want the yellow and the lemon green so I think I’m going back to buy it. Now what is this for? I need it for church, it’s too cold…nah I am telling a lie…but yeah I am not telling

Cigar Stuff

girlie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 01:11:04 +0000

It’s really nice to observe people who have the same interest. They don’t get tired talking about the things they love. They too have their own lingo and if you are not familiar with it, you get lost in the conversation. It’s like they are in their own little world when they gather. I’ve witnessed quite a few of those so called gatherings and I find it amusing. There’s this gathering that I’ve been to and all they talk about are different kinds of cigars. Not that the husband was into it, but it was partly work that brought us to that gathering. Based on my observation, they find joy in sharing everything they know about cigars, the brand, the different kinds of flavors, etc. They talk with animosity, and it gets intense sometimes. The bond they have formed is unbelievable because you see them gather at least once a week.

A Computer is Due

girlie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:41:29 +0000

I’m really thinking about getting my own computer. I’ve been without computer for more than 3 years now. Not that I am not able to use one, but I am talking about owning one. You see I just share with my family members, and you know how it is when you don’t own it. You get kicked out anytime, lol. Since my computer fund is almost ready let me take a look at these toshiba laptop computers so that I’ll have another option in case I can’t come up with the amount needed for my computer of choice. I heard this brand is nice and quite durable. I know someone who has this brand and still keeps it and it’s more than 5 years already. My old laptop gave up on me after only 1 1/2 years of use. It sucks but I can’t do anything. I need to be wiser this time in choosing the brand.

Help is Just a Click Away

girlie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:31:14 +0000

It’s semestral break for the daughter. Part of her activity during this break would be to polish her driving. She still hasn’t done it because our driver is kinda busy with stuff here at home (home repairs). I know she gets impatient because she only has a month to do that. I can understand her excitement, and that she wants to drive already. I was like her when I was her age. Anyway I plan to look for something like this roadside assistance plan. This will come in handy when none of us can help her. What’s nice about this plan is the mobile application which is available for you to download. With this help is just a click away.

New Couch

girlie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:20:28 +0000

Didn’t really intend to buy. We didn’t know that they had a 3-day sale. No wonder parking was full which wasn’t usual. Anyway, after church we headed to F21 to check what was going on. Ish got herself 2 dresses and a skirt. Got myself a dress too which was only P309, can’t believe it. Now what about the couch? It was the daughter who wanted to see home stuff particularly couches. Probably she had something cooking up, and true enough she wanted a couch for her room. I told her that I’m gonna buy it provided she gives up all her “friends”. She has loads from the time she was a little girl. I even gave away a lot already. Anyway, back to the couch. She decided on a 3 color combinanation, chocolate brown, matte apple green and orange. Hope it turns out nice. I’ll take a photo once it’s delivered in a week’s time.
