What up?

Just a few. Like MJ and Farrah Fawcett passing away. Like taking out the Civic for a test drive. Like reviving my laptop. Of these, the last one I am most pleased with because it has saved us tons of cash. I would have thought that this not-so-old laptop could not be repaired as it just would not turn on for what must have been more than a week. I was close to resigning to thought of having to get a new one, which certainly was out of our budget. But last Sunday, it turned on and went back to its regular business of surfing, as if nothing happened. It does have its hiccups every now and then, turning off at random periods of time even if the battery is not low. But it has managed to redeem itself so far. I hope it does not become a regular habit and shut down permanently.

Alright enough blabber. Time to get back on track with online work and reading on this colon cleanse review. TTFN.

Fallen Again

I have fallen off the exercise wagon again. *sigh* Those fat burners sure look tempting. But I am still hoping to get back into my old regime. It's just that when it's terribly cold outside, walking does not seem so appealing anymore.

I know, excuses, excuses! I need more determination and inspiration to get back into exercising again. These days, when I'm flat out after a hard day's work at the office, all I want to do is just rest. Definitely not an easy thing to break. But I guess one thing I can manage is take note of my food intake and see how it goes from there.

Car Hunting

Well, I passed my driver's exam and now have a full licence. I know this deserves a bit of celebrating, but life has been hectic and things like these sometimes escape me.

So now that I have my licence, I can truly be more mobile without having to totally depend on hubby for transportation. It is a liberating experience! And the next step for us is to do some car hunting so we can go around without having to depend on our old car. So far, this one has appealed us the most.



I guess that HDTV will have to take a back seat for now.

Busy as always

I guess I can never say the word 'busy' enough these days. In fact, the word is an understatement. There's just so many things happening all at the same time.

I reckon a major contributor is work, with a colleague resigning a week ago, my workload has significantly increased, and I am still trying to get my head around the volume of things I need to know in order to perform well at work.

Apart from that, I am still of course a mom and wife who still has to tend to my family amidst all the craziness. Admittedly, there are days when I just want to escape and not do anything for just an hour. But even an hour is not enough. Yes I am whingeing, because there's really not much I can do about it, is there?

Alright time for me to check out some dog ramps. Hope you all have a good and stress-free week ahead.

Pressure Test

Now that I have been given additional responsibilities at work, the pressure to pass that driving exam is terribly high, and I am not liking it. You see, my work entails a lot of appoinments and meetings with clients that driving is an essential part of it. As I can go from within the city to the regional areas of the state, getting one of those gps systems would be really handy especially if you're all alone on a trip and have no one with you to show you the way -- which reminds me to suggest to the company to get one for our service vehicle as I am sure it is a wise investment.

I am Spring!

You Feel Like Spring



You have reached a point in your life where new opportunities are coming your way. The future is exciting and bright. You are excited to start making plans. It's likely that you have been stuck in bit of a rut, but that's all about to change. You're ready to explore, learn, challenge yourself, and grow. All of a sudden, the world is much more colorful.

What Season Do You Feel Like?

I love spring! And I can't wait for it to be here. This freaking cold weather is no fun at all! :(

In the dark

The year is nearing its halfway mark and we have yet to hear from my brother about more details of their wedding preparations (like if my brother will be wearing a tuxedo or not, etc). I suppose they must have had some things done already but they just are not so keen about discussing it with us. I suppose they feel more pressured if we ask them about it, so I reckon it's best if they just tell us if and when it's convenient for them. Oh well, to each his own.

Secret

Ooohhh, there is a secret project underway. I was recently contacted by a friend that we might be appearing in a coffeetable book sometime soon! I hope we do get included and we get to have a copy of the book as well. That's all I am saying for now. :)

Tightening the Belt

While I would love to shop (which female doesn't?) and upgrade my wardrobe a little bit more, I think I have to postpone that bit for a while. I posted earlier how much our bills have been growing, and hubby just confirmed that last night with me, giving me facts and figures that I was afraid to confront. I guess that additional car will also have to wait as I have other priorities in mind like getting term life quote now that theoretically I can afford it. Ah yes, back to budgeting!

Putting the breaks

I've been buying work clothes left and right ever since I accepted the job offer. And consequently yes, the CC bill is skyrocketing. Time to put the breaks now and see if I can get wholesale clothing instead. I reckon it's cheaper that way coz you buy in bulk.

Speaking of shopping, I am still eyeing those knee-high boots so I can wear skirts to the office as well. I just love the look on them, and the heels are just gorgeous. It's too expensive at this time but I am hoping that I get a good discount come end of financial year when all the awesome sales happen. Looking forward to that! :)
