Event ideas

I love it when someone asks me how's the little angel's birthday party and how I planned it. I like small talks on birthday planning or event organizing. It's the pressure of meeting deadlines and the thrill of seeing the fruits of your labor on the day of the event. Now I'm scouting for new ideas, especially give aways and I come up with mom agenda planner, monogrammed key fobs, monogrammed koozies. I hope my sister will approved on what I found online.

Summer is not over

Summer is almost over but not for us. Planning is now on-going for the next x-L2S MOC adventure and we plan to go to Caramoan Island, somewhere is Bicol (I think). We plan to go this coming July, because that's the club anniversary. I'm looking forward to this trip because every year, we gather, plan and go to a trip despite our busy schedules. And to think we are now employed to different companies, we still managed to meet every year. And speaking of going on a trip, I need to loose some weight so I'll look good in the photos. So I really need to get on the treadmills asap.

Busy me

I'm soo busy these past few weeks. One reason to be busy is that our house help took a two-week vacation. So we moved here at my SIL's house for the meantime until she comes back. Second is the up coming battle of the bands this early June. Third, practice time with MMA is still consistent every week. Fourth, I have to work double time because little angel's school time is fast approaching. It's her first time to go to school that's why I need to prepare financially -- tuition fee, baon, uniform and textbooks. And lastly, I make sure I find some quality time with the little kiddo.

thoughts in the wee hours

+ 12:50 AM +

I embraced the thought that the little kiddo is growing up -- fast. Despite my super busy schedule at work, personal life and music, I'm still trying very hard to keep up with her. I want to lead her to the right direction in life and provide as much as I can. I pray for guidance especially during down times. But I know I can do it.

Chicken a a carte

My friend emailed my this link and immediately watched it last night. I was moved by the story because this is true.

Figure conscious

I was browsing my external hard drive the other day and I found a couple of pictures from some years ago with my friends from the previous company. I had to admit that we really had blast during those times. From the gimick like our never ending drinking sessions, jamming and the battle of the bands events. It's really nice to have true friends like them. But one thing I noticed was my figure - I was so thin that time. That's makes me think again on getting the best diet pills out there to bring that figure back.

Meet up

One of these day, I'll be meeting up with my close friend and ex-officemate in a resto in a local mall. It's been awhile since we saw each other and we are both excited about the meet up. I'm so ready to spend some time with a friend, because I surely need the time off from all the pressure and work I've been going through for the past weeks. Well, the reason for our meet up is that she told me about this appetite suppressants that she's been taking and it really worked for her. She was having thoughts that it might work for me too. That's sweet of her. Now I'm really excited.

Supplements

We visited the grocery market yesterday with the little angel and the FIL. I really like this routine because we get to shop the things we need in the house, while having fun. I got the usually stuff like laundry soap, detergents, dish washing soap, couple of cans of corned beef, fresh milk, cereals, nuggets, juice and many more. FIL mentioned that he plans to get a couple of supplements including Colonix. I haven't heard of the brand, but I will surely check on it later on.

Bora anyone?

My sister just got back from Boracay and but the looks of the pictures and the color of her skin, I admit that they really enjoyed their stayed there. Which reminds me that we should be planning our beach getaway soon. I can't believe summer is almost over and we haven't hit the beach yet. My dad is already inviting us to Boracay as well. Good thing my sister knows a beach vacation rentals there that we could avail. But I still need to check my schedule and attend to few things first. By then, maybe we could go to Bora too.

On cats and dogs

My best friend just can't stop bragging about her newly acquired puppy. I appreciate animals including cats and dogs but never really liked to pet them and I don't know why. Good thing, my best friend's birthday is coming up and this gave me a birthday gift idea. I saw this pet store with animal supplies for cats, dogs and even horse supplies too. I would just buy a nice accessories for her puppy and I'm sure she's going to like it.

question of the week

Been grabbing tags all over my blogmate's site because I don't have lots of ideas now. My mind is pre-occupied with my visit to the salon after this. So here goes...

Question of the week:
1. What do you want to do with a little extra cash?
~ I still have so many to things to accomplish and the includes money. We are still saving for the little angel's school tuition fee this coming June. Then we have to renovate our bedroom floor too. So with little extra cash at hand? I'll probably save it.

2. What else do you want this week? Feel free to share it all.
~ It's going to be a hell of a week again for me this week. My FIL is asking me to look for headlights for car. But all I got was Jeep Headlights, Mazda Headlights, Toyota Headlights. So I still need to research more on that.
~ I'll be going to the salon today after this. So it will be a new look for me this week. I think I mentioned this already.
~ Need to bring the digicam to the service center. Yup! My cam's busted when my sister brought it to Bora last week. Thinking of getting another cam too.
~ MMA practice practice on Thursday. I still feel sad because our practice is only once a week for this month.
~ Still deciding on where we could go - swimming that is. But I don't it'll happen anytime soon.
~ Happy! Yes, I'm happy for our youngest sister. She just graduated and now leaving for Dubai tomorrow for a one month vacation with my two sisters there.
~ Manicure and pedicure alert!

I hope that covers all and hopefully I could accomplish most of them this week.

Catching up

There's a seven-day gap before the previous post and the one before this entry. Yes, I've been totally ignoring my sites last week. My ideas went away plus I've been busy with lots of things too. Then little angel's workshop and school familiarization school starts today (later). It's a one week activity and I hope she'll like it there because she's going to school there in June. Anyway, I have no problems with our house help (Thank God), except she's going back to the province on May 15, but that can be arranged. It least we know ahead of time. I'm just concern with my new schedule in May. I really hate the mid shift plus Thurs/Fri RDs. This means less time for band practice plus I'm not home during the weekends. So if there's a family activity during the weekends, I have to file a leave. I hope this will only be for the month of MAY.

Anyway, we have a visitor this coming weekend. My MIL's brother and his wife will be staying with us for four days. The FIL already bought an A/C for the guest room. Then I have to move some stuff out of there too tsk tsk. Barangay fiesta is also coming so that means more relatives and visitors this coming weekend. Oh no! It's going to be pretty crowded here in the house.

Feeling frustrated: Why? I need a beach vacation!

Treat for the lappy

April is almost over and in two months time, it's already June - time for school and season of weddings. But it reminded me of something else - my laptop. I purchased this gadget June of last year and who would think a year already passed. I don't want to replace this yet because it's still good so what I'm thinking is I could buy memory as upgrades. I know this laptop deserves the memory because it really help me a lot.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to my sister who graduated last Saturday. My mom and dad can surely enjoy their retirement because all of us now had finished college. I know it's every parents' dream to see their children finish their studies and it did came true for my parents last Saturday. We were teasing our dad to wear a tuxedo since it's the last graduation he'll attend. And the next one will be the graduation of his grandaughters.

Marry Me Amy - official site

We had band practice last Tuesday and we are so excited to record our demo. We have lots of options, but we are also checking our budget hahaha. But first we had to put up an official Marry Me Amy site and now it's up! I love the banner! Thanks Aimz! I love the photo! Thanks wabs for that!

We still need to work on our profile but videos and original versions of the songs are already on the site. So enjoy!

I can feel the heat

A month ago, I was enjoying the cold air in Hong Kong and now, summer is scorching hot and we can feel the heat even inside the house. I am still in the night shift, so that means I have to sleep during the day. And everybody knows how hot it is during the day and I had no choice but to endure it. For me, the hardest part is trying to sleep in this condition and another is the feeling waking up with all sweaty. The husband was thinking of getting outdoor furniture so I could sleep in the shaded part of the backyard. Yes, that's so sweet right.
