Excited

Monday, November 30, 2009

I’m excited! Who won’t be excited for a family vacation trip? And now hopefully if things will work out we might be able to bring my sis to assist us with the lil boy during our trip in less than two months time. We might need an additional and new luggage so I went looking for one online and browsed through various choices inclucing Samsonite and Eagle Creek luggage which has an offer of 35% off. I will also have to check on our old luggage if it would still be used for this coming trip.  The older and smaller luggage has a wheel that was damaged at the CEB cargo. If it was far too damaged then we might get a new one for the lil boy’s clothes which we usually pack separate from our stuff.

Last Day

Today is the last day of November and I know some if not a lot of you are excited for December. Tomorrow is the first day of December and we cannot deny that Christmas is so near. Some of you have already done their Christmas shopping while some still hasn’t. We did a little Christmas shopping yesterday at the 2009 Christmas Bazaar at the Davao Convention  and Trade Center. We were able to buy mostly food - pastries, a toy for the lil boy, three Christmas balls made of capiz shells for decors, two queen size Mickey Mouse flannel blankets for the little boy and our use as well.
 
Today also is a holiday here - Bonifacio Day and it is also the last day of the Christmas Bazaar. So if you wanna catch up you still have until 9PM to shop at Davcon. Enjoy the last day of November and the last day foa long weekend here.
 
Then tomorrow will be Hello December!!! Merry Christmas!!! :)

Sell Back Your Books

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

I suddenly rememberi still have a litle stuff left in my parents’ house. Myo ld school books and some other stuff. I remembered them when Ifound this site where you can sell back your books or sell textbooks online. if you have used books that you do not need anymore and are just kept somewhere in the house collecting dust. You might as well sell them back to get back at least a part of what you spent for them or for more charitable purposes give those books to charity. But if you need some charity yourself, then you have your old, used books sold online at www.sellbackyourbook.com.

Black Friday Shopping

Friends online are busy making their shopping list for Black Friday deals. I have opted to stay away from the shopping frenzy since I promised hubby we will be saving much of our blessings for our H#2 project. It’s really tempting to shop online with deals here and there.  And I have found some very tempting items as I did some online window shopping myself. But I guess I just have to stick to our plan. I already did shop for what I had been looking for earlier and a few days ago after we watched New Moon, I was able to do some impromptu shopping for a few new clothes which I am happy and content with. That’ll do for me now. More to save and save more.

Shopping List

I was browsing through some online stores and my friend chatted with me while she was waiting for her hubby to come home. Our chat went to a topic regarding her shopping list for the Black Friday deals after Thanksgiving and she said there is nothing fancy for her in the list all practical home stuff including spa filter which she said is long to must have been replaced. I helped her find where to shop for that item on her list and we found it at YourFilters which carries (more…)

Power Moms

I have slowly started reading my Twitter mommy santa’s Christmas gift which I have received recently. It’s a Chicken Soup for the Soul book for Power Moms wih 101 stories celebrating the power of choice for stay-at-home and work-at-home moms. So far it has been enlightening and uplifting to read a few of the stories yet of SAHMs and WAHMs like me. Yes I have been a SAHM and WAHM for almost two years now giving up work in the corporate world to take care and be with my son since we cannot find a suitable nanny. No more bosses and straight 5-day, 8-hour work in the office. I recommend this book to other SAHM and WAHM out there. It’s worth reading and it’s worth your time.

Middle School Graduation Party Invitation

My friend’s cousin will be graduating from 8th grade and she was asking me a week ago where I got those 8th Grade Graduation Invitations that I posted a few weeks ago. I told her about this GraduationCardsShop which she can check out at http://www.graduationcardsshop.com. I suddenly somehow wished I had something like this when I was graduating from grade school and high school as this is a wonderful souvenir to have. There are not only 8th grade graduation invitations or middle school graduation party invitations that you can have personalized but junior high school graduation announcements as well. You can view your grdaution invitation or announcement card before buying them using their instant preview features. Plus they offer free invittaion cards plus free shipping too! I think it’s still a few months away but you can do your shopping now for these graduation invites if you want too.

Sleep Longer

I had vowed starting last night to sleep at least six hours a day or longer but no less than that after I read my sister MG’s email. People who sleep less than 5-6 hours a day has twice as much risk of getting high blood pressure. I also told hubby about that last night and he said he slept more than six hours last night. He woke up earlier than me this morning. I made him promise and informed him about it. At least we can start preventing even with just a little adjustment in our sleeping time.

Health Watch

Monday, November 23, 2009

My older sister has been sending me emails regarding health watch and the recent one involves getting enough sleep each day in order to avoid heart disease. She knows I have concerns on having enough sleep. This is just a reminder from my concerned sis. Reading about this, I am reminded of checking on this Blue Cross North Carolina which was referred to me by one of my friends. I’ll check it out in awhile and see what they have to offer in terms of health plan and health insurance for me and my family.It’s great to have a comprehensive medical coverage at rates that will fit our budget.

Now showing here is Shrek 3! The lil boy at first didn’t like to watch this movie but after a few times of showing it, he was able to finish the whole movie. There are already part to it that he likes and enjoys.I have notseen the movie in its entirety sincei’m busy doing chores in between whilejust checking on the lil boy once in a while. This movie will run for a few more days I think before my son gets totally bored and wants to see another animated movie. We just have to recycle the other moviesin his collection.
