Love Note

Found this love note sticking on the door of my closet. Its from my niece Hazel. Sweet! (wink, wink). She always writes me notes and letters. Though most of the time she gave me letters on special occasions, like on my birthdays and whenever she's done something bad or she's been disobedient (wink, wink).

Juicy Wallet

I got a new wallet! My Aunt gave me a Juicy Couture wallet for Christmas. I was actually asking my cousin to buy me a wallet, but when my Aunt learned about it, she said that she'll just give me one for Christmas.

It has a fifty peso bill inside and coins [I didn't count how much].

What I really like about it are the "compartments" [as if I got lots of bills to put on it (big grin)]. And also, its pink!

Thanks Tita for this nice, cutie wallet. Merry Christmas!

Holiday Get-Together Dinner

Last week I was able to see my my old colleagues again. Apparently it was a dinner treat from my colleagues who recently decided to leave and "look for greener pastures" (big grin). Thanks guys for the treat. I think the last time we spend time together was January 2011; we had lunch together. It was actually a despedida lunch treat for me (wink, wink). Anyway, it was nice seeing you guys again after almost a year. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Three days more and the new year is here. Happy New Year everyone! I know I was not able to make a post about Christmas. Not even a simple Christmas greeting for you guys. Sorry about that. I guess I was not "touched" by the occasion that much. Or I was not in the mood to write. It was just yesterday that I realized I was not able to share and post a lot of things that happened to me this last few weeks. Anyway, I am hoping that before the year ends I would be able to catch up with my blogging (wink, wink). And I want to start with an update about my fish (big grin). I named my flower horn fish - Chicken. To find out why, check out my previous post about it here. Now, here are some of Chicken's photo after two months with us.

Chicken has grown fast... and big!

And it is always hungry.. sometimes cranky too!

Happy New [35th] Year!

The year is almost over. And soon I will be celebrating my 35th birthday. Oh dear, I am really getting old (wink, wink). But I guess that's fine, age are just numbers (big grin). And besides, I can say that I am happy with my age and with what I have become and accomplished at this point of my life. If I'll be asked for my birthday wish, I'd say that I also would want to experience how it is to say "I have brought valentines day gifts for my husband" or "I won't be able to join you this evening, I have a date with my husband". I always dreamed of having my own family. Most of my friends are already married and already have kids. Sometimes I can't help but envy them. Though being single (and fabulous) also has its benefits; there are still moments when you wish you'll feel how it is to be part of something special; to be part of someone else's life other than your parents and family. Oh dear, I think the holiday season is getting on me now (sigh). Anyway, I am really looking forward to the new year. I feel that there's really something special in store for me (fingers crossed). Next year, 2012 is my year. And I am claiming it!

Reyapot

I don't know exactly how to start with this. All I know is I can't find the [right] words to say. I wanted to share it to the world. Something that I am happy about. Something that [would] definitely change[s] everything. I suddenly felt old upon saying that. Old - matured? (big grin) Or probably I never imagined myself actually dealing with life with all its possibilities and complications (wink, wink). And there are still times when I feel that I am still naive with a lot of things about life. I am very thankful with all the things that's been happening with my life. I am very grateful for all the blessings from our dear God, considering that I was never a good person.. but sometimes I have a good heart (big grin). I still feel scared and insecure. The uncertainties remain. But I just try to keep in mind (and focus on it) that I am loved and cared for; and that I am now a part of something really special. Keeping the faith and trust.

Gift Suggestion: Babies R Us Coupons

Here's another gift suggestion especially for my friends and followers in the US. Check out this website called Drop Down Deals to find out more about these babies r us coupons, which you may consider as Christmas presents for your family and friends. You may also avail of these coupons for free! There's just a few things that you need to do (click) before you would be able to get them free. Your free coupons is just a click away. I think coupons, gift checks and a like are one of the best gift options. It allows the receiver of your gift to choose whatever stuff they would like to buy with the coupons or with the gift checks. And that means they will surely enjoy your gift, because in a way they chose it (big grin).

Random Photos

Sharing here some random photos. Each photos has a story. I was supposed to share their stories in my blogs, but since I was too occupied with a lot of things for the last few months, I was not able to do so (sad). The first photo is my old slippers. Looks really old don't you think? (wink, wink)

This one here is a photo of the charm bracelet my dear friend gave last May 2011. Its a lucky charm bracelet. I am not sure if I was able to share this with you guys before. Anyway, now I am finally sharing it (big grin).

And this is my phone's photo. I got this for free from my celphone service provider. I availed of their new phone-retention plan promo. They offer free handsets if you subscribe to their post paid plans. The contract for the subscription is two years.

Christmas Photos

Sharing here some Christmas photos. These are from my Aunt's house. My nephew set up the altar in his room with an advent wreath and his baby Jesus figurine. He loves to collect statues of Saints.

I love the Baby Jesus statue. He is the reason why we celebrate Christmas. It's His birthday! Happy Birthday Baby Jesus! Merry Christmas everyone :)

Shopping for GPS

Lately I have been seeing a lot of GPS gadgets on the net. Mostly are on sale. Probably because it is the holiday season and a GPS gadget is something that may be considered as a Christmas gift. It might even come out of the Christmas Wish List of your Dad if he is into golf (I saw some Golf GPS on sale); or your Mom who needs a GPS Navigator so she won't get lost in the road (big grin); or your Siblings who are always travelling, a Tripmaker would be a nice-to-have this Christmas season. I saw several kids of gps online gadgets available that would suit the need and requirement of every member of the family. You may check out this site called The Source. You will surely find great deals and a wide-range of choices. It is like a one-stop online shopping experience, especially if you are planning to buy gps gadgets for the whole family this Christmas.
