outdoor fun
January 27th, 2010
I guess everyone of us would want to travel the globe as much as we could and if money and time were not something to consider. I would, DH would, my family would and moreso my friends. So, I thought everyone can be really travel whores until I met a friend who is the exact opposite. She hated the plane rides, the long driving, sun and beach and sand!, bookings, luggages and packing! She said that the best place to travel is the mall and the best place to rest is her home and not a hotel. I was really laughing so hard and find her amusing because she was just simply honest with what she wants. True enough, whenever the barkada would plan a trip even for just a weekend getaway and have some random outdoor grills read: not so far destination), we would always get a NO from her. But each time we tell her that she could find the cheapest shopping stuff in the place we would be visiting, she would reconsider the offer but yes, she still would not come and instead asks us to buy he shopping loots for her hee hee. Ain’t she such a unique person

more decisions
January 26th, 2010
2010 has been so far a great year for us, although there are still uncertainties, I believe that we can surpass this year with flying colors. As to my end, I am still taking my life very easy and not/not doing anything with regards to job hunting, I know, it’s bad hee hee. Aside from that, I am also not moving and not doing anything with regards to my driving license, to the DH’s dismay. He wanted me to attend to it pronto as we need to renew our Auto Insurance.
Well, the best I could do is assist him with looking for the best Cost of Insurance and found a comparative results at American Car Quotes. It was simply an easy task, all I need to do was fill out their contact page and in less than 24 hours, they gave me the best list of Auto Insurance Quotes that would much our needs. That’s the best I could do, well-driving wise haha!

do re mi.
January 24th, 2010
We had a very quiet Sunday once again, Sundays are meant for family time but because of DH’s employment background, he needs to be out on errands during the weekend. His off days are usually on a Friday and goes home very early on Wednesdays and Saturdays. So today, instead of my usual workbook tasks to dear son, we indulge some canvas painting, yes the real thing, acrylic paint and all. I was talking to my boy and asked him if he wanted to take some piano lessons. I used to take those for more than 10 years and I started as early as 3 years old.
When I was younger, I wasn’t so keen at piano lessons and playing piano that I ended up skipping classes. I am so regretting those days. Thank heavens for these online piano lessons from this very reliable and piano expert teacher. One of these days, I am going to check the site again and will reconnect with my piano past. I hope I still remember my notes. Visit the site if you want to play some exquisite piano pieces.

extra bucks
January 22nd, 2010
I woke up today feeling very low, probably from exhaustion of too much blogging for the past days. It has been a while since I Blogged like this and I guess my body, mind and everything else is adjusting. I could not sleep well too. Instead of dwelling on this lowly feelings, I instead did some online shopping and get some cash back rebates.
For the past 2 years that I am here, I have mustered the art of online shopping. I used to be just checking online shopping sites, click whatever I want and immediately check out my cart as compared to what I do now. I critically make comparison shopping to get the best online shopping deals before I finally click out my carts. By doing so, you’d be able to save money online, check which stores online are real, earning money back with credit cards and getting money while shopping. Shopping can be fun if you check extrabux.com for more information.

The New Place to be and Dubai Hotel Special Deals.
January 17th, 2010
If ever we pursue with our plan to go home next year, I promise my mom to visit my cousin who works in Dubai and stay in one of the posh Bur Dubai hotels. Haven’t you noticed, Dubai and Abu Dhabi is the place to be. The place is just getting more and more popular these days. Also, it became a hub for youngsters who are looking for promising opportunities. My cousin who works there has a very lucrative job that she could afford to be the family’s bread winner.
And when in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you might want to grab these special deals on hotels near Jumeirah Beach at CheaperThanHotels. I love this site for offering such nice accommodation packages at such affordable prices. A cheapskate traveler like me will not think twice to visit Dubai because of the site’s special deals. When deciding to go there, fly via Etihad Airways. A family friend who works as a flight attendant in this airline raves about the features of their flights.

i turn to TV
January 15th, 2010
My homesickness levels are highly elevated, I thought I have adjusted well but nope, I still miss home and my family. Sucks to migrate in a foreign country, sometimes you have to think hard, think twice. But, we have to do what we gotta do, so I might just divert this homesickness level to other things and entertaining stuff such as gobbling and drowning myself in movies at Direct Satellite TV.
We can always turn to our Direct Satellite TV in times of sadness and whenever we just want pure entertainment. During my idle times in California, I always turn to my brother’s Direct TV in California. What I love about Direct TV is the many movie channels they have considering the affordable rate they ask for their services. So if you are a movie lover, save yourself from those DVD rental fees and just get Direct TV to get the best of the movie channels right infront of your TV 24/7.

Blogs VS Books
January 6th, 2010
DH and I have decided that it is about time we lose weight and what did we do this morning, jogging! Yes, when everyone else is gearing away from the chill factor that Autumn brings, here we are pushing our butt off every morning to jog around. I hope we can be consistent on this and that we begin to notice the fruits of our jogging hee hee. Anyways, how are you? I saw this image at imgfave.tumblr and yes while we all love blogging, it is still best to read books Have a good weekend everyone!

note to self.
January 6th, 2010
I am slowly withdrawing from spending too much time online. For several weeks now, I have been spending so much time away from my laptop and internet, per se. Everything seems beautiful . And yes, I don’t check Facebook as much as I did before. When I go online, it’s all about completing my blogging tasks.
However, I may have prayed too much that God must misinterpreted my goal to just spend at least 4 hours online per day that a very “SMART” neighbor accidentally pull out and cut all our cable connections (internet, phone and tv cable!) all because he planted a couple of trees on his backyard. Yes, I was out of the loop for almost 4 days and it was terrible. Terrible because I had to rush some expiring blogging tasks and because I am doing a research side job which 10 pages deadline needed to be finished on Sunday.
On a different note, I have been very distracted lately. I lack focus hence, the procrastination and lack of time management which boils down to lack of discipline. When oh when will I ever have a constant discipline, with my eating habits, with my time management, with prioritizing things?
Okay, let’s start that today. A 30-minute exercise a day would probably do the trick. Let’s see.
