we shopped for formal wear

Hubby was able to buy a long-sleeved polo for his gray suit. It is in plum. It perfectly matches BG’s rose petal gown and plum shrug. I just don’t think it matches my truffle colored gown.

My gown was a bit higher than expected but still within my budget. Plus, the couturier said he’ll make me a little bag to match the gown. I’m not really a fan of fabric bags matching the gown but I really want to stay within my budget. I was contemplating if I need to avail of fast cash payday loans. But since I won’t be buying a new formal bag, it looks like our budget for December is still on track.

We will go to the (other) mall tomorrow to buy BG’s shoes. I didn’t like the styles that I saw this afternoon.

Btw, I purposely did not post pictures of BG’s gown yet. I don’t like to pre-empt. :P

note to self

I forgot to blog that the monthly abnormality set in when I was shopping last Tuesday. So there, I am NOT pregnant.

Just few notes to myself:

- Christmas shopping isn’t over yet
- Christmas partiessssssss….
- My sister’s wedding two weeks from now. Yet we haven’t bought what we would wear. We need stuff that would match BG’s flowergirl gown. I need to buy a gown, bag and shoes. Also, hubby needs a long-sleeved polo shirt and necktie for his suit. Plus, a pair of shoes for BG.
- Resort booking for summer vacation
- ON (’nuff said)

Yikes!

Well, at least we’re still on track with our budget and there’s no need for cash loans, or anything.

happy

Hey, something is missing. Go, scroll down a bit. Do you notice it too? It’s all words. Wouldn’t it be nice to see more pictures on this blog? :lol:

So does this mean I’d finally be joining wordless wednesday, weekend snapshots and litratong pinoy? Why not? Because I’m not ready. Let’s see…

Geez, it’s late at night yet I am daydreaming. And I am smiling! I’m grinning ear to ear.

my parents’ receiving area

Just the other day (or was it today?), the topic of the wives over twitter was about their ideal house. Most preferred a house with a garden. Like them, I want a garden too. I even want to try a hand at gardening someday. I’d want a house with white or pastel colored interior wall with mostly pastel or citrus decors.

Somebody said that she prefers Moroccan furniture. I then remember my mom to have had that phase. She purchased a couple of Moroccan furniture pieces, which mismatched her interiors. When we teased her about it, what she did was she revamped the whole receiving area with more Moroccan decors. But now, she has moved on to another phase: old-English-coffee-house-slash-Harry-Potter-train-station look. :lol:

multitasking today as usual

It is so late and yet, I’m still online working. I had just loaded some processing that will run in few minutes. I was busy the whole day. Good thing, I work from home today. Could you imagine if we don’t have that benefit? Geez, I wouldn’t want to stay late in the office, making several trips to and fro the espresso machines with a toddler at home waiting for mommy to come home.

Just tonight, I stayed in bed with BG pretending to sleep while waiting for one process to finish. I was lying beside her waiting till she goes into deep sleep before I faced the laptop again. ;)

my friend’s car

A friend, who is still single, has just bought a second hand car. She said it’s her gift to herself this Christmas. She showed me her new toy. It is a Honda Civic 2004 and still looks nice. It seems to me that the previous owner really took care of it. According to my friend, the previous owner is a woman too. She asked me if I know any cheap auto insurance. So I suggested we browse the net to find out.

It is always wise to compare online insurance quotes to be sure you get the best deal. We found a site that’s perfect, with comparison of insurance coverage from different companies. You can find the most affordable without consuming most of your time hopping from one site to another.

They even have a learning center to know more about the coverage that best suit your insurance needs. And do you know your rights as a policy holder? Visit 2insure4less.com to know more.

keen eye

Today, I realized BG can work as a CSI agent someday. :lol:

I have kept the toys I bought yesterday hidden under a pile of bags so that BG wouldn’t see. In fact, I placed the “safe” stuff out in the open so that when she decides to check, she’d see that the stuff aren’t toys.

But yes, she found one xylophone, and expectedly played with it. I’m telling you, she didn’t see me with the toys and I am 100% sure she had no idea I went shopping for toys. Geez, either she’s so good at finding things or I’m bad at hiding them. :P

what if your ex says…

If you notice, I’m not much into tags lately but this one from Kelly is simply tempting.

1) Why did you let me go?
Back then I thought I never want to get married (to anyone for that matter) anymore. Who would have guessed that I’d changed my mind after a year. :lol:

2) Can I win you back?
No. I have found my real soulmate.

3) But I am very much happy with you back then.
Really? Were you? Were we?

4) I still love you.
Thanks. :lol:

5) When did we last talk?
A month before I got married. Geez, can you believe you were able to track me even if I have changed my mobile number?

6) Can you go out with me?
No.

7) Hey,can i give you/ask for a ride?
No.

8 ) Were you able to move on?
Yes. You know that even before we parted our ways, I have long moved on. ;)

9) I regret losing you.
Oh, ok. Sorry, can’t say the same.

10) My parents do not like you.
You knew very well that I never cared.

12)You have changed.
Really? Cool!

Kelly, where’s Q#11?

Honestly, I don’t think the ex would say/ask those words. This was just for fun. ;)

shopping and digiscrapping this week

Ok, it’s Monday and I found out that I have few tasks to do till Thursday. Initially, I filed my leaves on Wednesday and Thursday. But I received an email telling me I need to be in the office on Thursday. So I (re)filed for Tuesday and Wednesday instead.

So why do I need to file leaves? One day for Christmas shopping and another day for digiscrapping gifts. :) I wanted to shop before the next payday to avoid the crowd. ;)

Dreaming of you

Saturday 9: Dreaming of You

1. What did you dream about last night? I don’t remember last night’s dream.

2. Do you often have nightmares? Rarely. The last that I can remember was when I was still a teenager. I was crying when I woke up.

3. Do you have any special talents? Hmm, none I can think of.

4. Who is the most talent person that you know? my brother. He is a member of the Robotics club in his college while being a band member (their band has released a single).

5. What did you watch on TV last? The ’23′ movie starring Jim Carrey over at cable.

6. Is there a new TV show that you would recommend? Geez, the newest show that I’ve checked was 90210, but I wouldn’t recommend it. The actors are too skinny, it was scary. If I have a teenaged daughter, I wouldn’t want her to watch it.

7. Who was the last person you phoned and why? My sister. I told her to cancel my appointment with her couturier.

8. Who was the last person who phoned you and why? My sister too. She was asking for directions going to my aunt’s house.

9. What was the last snail mail letter that you received? Aside from bills, I received a snail mail containing stickers from a child I sponsor (his education).
