NOW.

Now is the time to shop for Winter clothes, why? Because chances are those Alpinestars Jacket and nice leather boots are on huge sale. In fact, while at the mall this afternoon, I was so tempted to hoard winter outfits. I know some would not agree with this way of shopping when it is off-season but I tell you, you can save bigger bucks.

Pinteresting!

Aside from Instagram, I have been very addicted with Pinterest. Whoever invented Pinterest is a genius. It organizes all of my favorite internet articles as well as shopping finds. However, my favorite board would be about those stuff I find useful for our present home and of course, design ideas for our future home. But also, be wary on what to pin because you might ended up pinning a beautiful photo but when you click it, the link would end up to this pharmaceutical product called arginmax, seriously. C'mon join us and start pinning!

I have mentioned many times that I know nothing about cars. So when DH decided to buy our 2nd car, I have nothing to contribute at all. But of course, I was there during the test drive and since we needed a bigger car, we settled for the SUV. I also learned a thing or two on car parts such as PowerStop Cross Drilled and slotted rotor while DH was speaking with his agent but other than that, I still have no interest on cars.

New Neighbors

Last month, we had a new neighbor and they were a bunch of college students who love to party until wee hours of the morning, mondays-fridays. During the first week, I got really irritated that I was determined to make a formal complaint. However, dear hubby told me to give them time to adjust. True enough, they have been pretty considerate and would end up their parties at 8-9pm. On most days, they would practice their band and boy how I love to listen to their charvel electric guitars and piano playing both contemporary and rock music.

Gardening Tools

I think my mom would love to have this compost tumbler as her gardening tool.

You see, growing up, I have always seen my mom so joyous in her evolving garden. She would usually destress while gardening, drinks coffee in the morning in between gardening and ending her day just simply checking her orchids and what not. Though currently hires someone to do the gardening for her as she has grown a weaker back but then she would still devote the same amount of time gardening as she did in her younger years.

Almost Spring

While we were cleaning out our balcony yesterday, I have noticed that most of our neighbors took out their grills already. I bet they all cannot wait for Spring and do some outdoor grilling. As for me, I cannot wait for the warmer seasons because that only means more al fresco family reunions for us and my in-laws.

not a huge Watch collector.

I remember my very first decent watch was one of those automatic citizen watches. I am not the type who would really invest on a good watch until I met my dear husband who is a watch collector. Now, he is trying to persuade me to shift my shopping priorities to watches, instead of purses and make-up. Oh well, I'll just wait for him to buy me my dream watch hee hee.

No Labels!

Last Saturday, we visited hubby's cousin who recently gave birth to a very handsome boy. I was able to catch up with one of my favorite cousins-in-law and we talked about his recent relationship and how they are going stronger without any labels, yes, they are not boyfriends and girlfriends just a couple who dates and professed their love for each other. I was also surprised to find out that they have partnership rings! Oooh kids these days!

Musically-Inclined.

My little boy has been showing signs of music inclination. This started when he turned 2 and would stop his playtime whenever I played classical and rock music. Then as he was growing up, he would asks me and his dad what the different musical instruments are. Of course, we just had to explain the basic ones as we do not know those technical and specialized musical instruments such as epiphone sg guitar etc... I just wonder if 6 years old would be the right time to enroll him in a formal music class.

nuninuninoo...

I am itching to come home already because the weather is just so inviting. Maybe, I could do a few minutes of running in the park instead of my usual treadmill routine. But then again, I have to research about this paperless office software my boss asked me to check and of course some filing as soon as I get home. I need to archive our bills in 2011. Yes, I am OC, like that hee hee.

Productive Tuesday

Because I have been very productive today, I was able to finish most of my work tasks an hour after lunch. Now, I am just waiting for the time to hit 4:30 and I'm off to home sweet home. But in the meantime, let me catch up with my friends at Twitter, Instagram and of course, Facebook before I check on these diamond blades. How's your Tuesday?

Photobooks Project in 2012

I seriously need to focus on my goal list in 2012. I listed about 11 goals this year and only 5 were accomplished. While more than half were not met, I am still happy about the 5 achievements. One of the things I want to include in my 2012 goals is to be able to come up with photobooks for all of DS' 6 years of life. These keepsakes for babies reminded me so much how much years have passed already and I needed to catch up with my photobooks projects.

Catching up with much-needed Zzzz...

I thought I am done with my Christmas shopping list and would be able to catch up with much-needed sleep. Until, I realized, I forgot a male cousin who is so much into gadgets. Thank heavens for instant best buy coupons, I was able to shop for him online. Until then, I cannot wait to hit the sack. Hope the Holiday rush is not taking a toll on you. Goodnight!

gift ideas

I still need a lot of things to accomplish before Christmas day. I wish to be able to order this converter online as presents for my siblings. I do not know why I always ended up rushing during the Holiday season when I have written my Christmas list very early this year, read: September. Oh well, I just need to make do with the time and resources I have now.

maybe, next year

Last night, I had the chance to go over my 2011 goals and sadly, I have only accomplished 1/3 of my goals. I guess next year, I would have to slim down my goals list and also include only realistic goals. One of the goals that I missed out on doing is to finish all of my digiscrapping projects as well as edit DS' videos and eventually make cd duplication to be given to his grandparents. Well, there is always next year and I hope with my new Macbook, I will be able to work on my photobooks faster than I did this year.
