Moving again (will see)

I got news from my sister that we might move again, and this time no rents anymore. This will be a big help for us since we badly need to pay debts and save a lot for the kiddo's school. What I'm thinking about is the pack, move and unpacking part. I can't imagine I'll pack all our stuff again, including bags, shoes, hubby's tools like spanner wrench etc. We might not bring our other appliances which is a good thing. Let's see what will happen.

Saving up

I remembered the kiddo's bear bank the other day. I was suppose to count the kiddo's money savings inside and put it in the bank. She's saving money to buy an ipad and a car. Yup! She has high hopes and I'm proud of her. This is also another way of teaching her the importance of saving money. And since we'll get the ipad this weekend, she knows she still needs to save up for the car instead. She mentioned, she wanted a fast car hahaha. Sometimes we borrow my dad's van if we need to go somewhere and the kiddo told me it's too slow. Well, we don't really need to go fast, do we? hahaha.

Speaking of my dad's van. Will be using it again this weekend because we plan to have a family day together since it's my rest day.

I know RVs are bigger and much slower. Or do they? I don't know. But if RVs are a hit here in the country, it'll be all hell for parking slots.

I wonder where does the rv owners go for rv repairs.

Fast Facts

The Star-Spangled Banner became the US national anthem in 1931. Prior to that, it was My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” which had the same melody as Britian’s national anthem God Save the Queen, which is based on music written by John Bull in 1619. Bull’s melody has been used more than any song in national anthems.

Birthday coming up...

My sister told me, it's her MIL's 60th birthday on the 6th of Feb and they're going to have a party at Polo Club. I asked my sister if I can go because I really want to go to Polo Club and see the venue. And all the plus plus comes with it hahaha.. like the food, the party and the souvenirs. And based from party experiences, they give out the best souvenirs. From birthdays, wedding, and Christmas season. I wonder what they'll give out this time. Maybe lapel pins, for the kitchen or a piece of appliance. But whatever it is, the party will surely be a blast!

Birthday gift

I finally got my copy of our family picture which was taken last week. And while in the local yesterday, I went ahead and bought pictures frames. I love the kiddo's solo picture and I plan to customized her picture frame just like what I saw on the Internet--birthday picture frame ideas. I still need some materials and when I'm finished, I'm sure the kiddo will be so thrilled! Can't wait.

Happy Birthday!

Happy 6th Birthday kiddo! Mom and Dad loves you very much.

What's your ultimate guitar?

What's your ultimate guitar?

Tricky question right? But if you ask me, I would still stick to the classics. Growing up from a family tree of musicians. I learned to appreciate the quality and sound of the oldies and classics. would really like a Fender Jass Bass, P. Bass series. Original, of course. And that doesn't end there. Since I'm a bassist, it doesn't mean I like bass guitars only. My ultimate guitar would be the Gibson traditional. I'm telling you, this baby really kicks butt. Two of friends invest money to get a Gibson series and now they have two and doesn't want to let it go because for them, it's all worth it.

.... so what's yours?

Shop!

We went to the local mall this afternoon to get our family picture taken when I was surprised to see one of the home depot stall is closed. I believe they move to another building and I'm not sure when are they gonna open. I still have home depot coupons and I need to check if it's still valid. Anyway, good news! Because Forever21 will there! Can't wait to shop!
