The little girl is such a light sleeper. Ever since she was a small infant, she has always been like that. Now that she's bigger though, her sleeping patterns have improved which is why J and I are also getting more sleep. Just the same, we still need to watch what we are doing so that we don't wake her up. For example, when I really want to watch some telly while she's taking a nap, I just turn on closed captioning so I can follow the dialogue even when the volume is turned down low. Thank God for features like this. :D

Not So Cluttered After All
Your Mind is 47% Cluttered |
Your mind is starting to get cluttered, and as a result, it's a little harder for you to keep focused. Try to let go of your pettiest worries and concerns. The worrying is worse than the actual problems! |
And I thought I was such a worry wart. :P But still the clutter is there so need to de-clutter when the new year kicks in.

Auto Crazy
My brother R is such a car enthusiast, so much so that he has recently asked me to canvass the price of lowering springs here in Oz. He is crazy over auto parts that he is willing to buy them even if they can only be bought overseas, of course, if the price is good. Next time I hear from him, he might ask me to check out the prices of billet grilles for his precious car. Well, that's not impossible to happen. Trust me.

I am green!
You Are a Green Crayon |
Your world is colored in harmonious, peaceful, natural colors. While some may associate green with money, you are one of the least materialistic people around. Comfort is important to you. You like to feel as relaxed as possible - and you try to make others feel at ease. You're very happy with who you are, and it certainly shows! Your color wheel opposite is red. Every time you feel grounded, a red person does their best to shake you. |

Blogs in Plain English
Have you ever been asked what a blog is in simple terms and you just couldn’t answer them well enough? I stumbled upon this neat video on youtube which you can use to help explain to other people what a blog is all about. Thanks to Lee and Sachi LeFever for making this.

Still Sick
Yes, it's become full blown. I know I should be taking lots of rest to get rid of this bug, but that just seems to be an impossible task with all the work that needs to be done around. Just because it's the holidays, it does not mean the chores are on hold. Nope, unfortunately, life goes on and so must we. There's a party we must attend on the first so I am hoping this body of mine will cooperate. It's no fun socializing with friends when you can hardly speak up or are trying hard to hold back those sneezes. *fingers crossed*

Touring Oz
If you're looking for a place to go on vacation, the first thing that comes to mind that I would strongly suggest is of course the land down under, wonderful Australia. There are lots of hotels in Australia to stay at so you shouldn't be concerned much of that because it is a top tourist destination for most travellers.
And as you tour this beautiful country of ours, do make sure to drop by Queensland. You can book yourselves a room at one of the Gold Coast hotels, Noosa hotels, or Cairns hotels as these are the must-see places in the sunshine state. I haven't been to Queensland myself and when we do get the opportunity to visit it someday, we will make it a point to stay as long as we can so that we may see all the tourist spots there. That would be something really nice to look forward to.

Under the Weather
After weeks of rain and cold winds, it looks like summer has finally kicked in in our part of the world. Today alone has been terribly hot and the sudden change in temperatures has resulted in us ending up with a sore throat and the sniffles. Both J and I have not been feeling very well in the past few days. We just hope we don't pass the bug down to the little girl and that we will be feeling better as the year ends.

Back but with a Hangover
I am back. It's already three days past Christmas but I am still lazy to go back to working on the internet.
Christmas here was nothing remarkable. I maintain that nothing still beats being with your immediate family during this season. And inspite of that fact, I am as lazy as ever to get back into the daily grind. But the opportunities are beckoning me, so I do what I can. It would be a waste just to let them pass me by.
How did your holidays go?

Not An Excuse
In almost every corner of the globe, people must be attending parties nonstop, left and right. All the food and booze are overflowing that some ex-alcoholics may be having trouble declining those drinks, all in the spirit of the holidays. Well, they just might end up once again in alcohol rehabs if they are not careful. Just because it's Christmas does not mean it is a legal excuse for them to get back to their old drinking habit. They must have a strong resolve to be able to kick that bad habit of theirs once and for all.
