It turns out our plane tickets aren't exactly the best buy we thought it originally was. I told J that it was a too-good-to-be-true deal and we should've seen it coming. We ended up booking new tickets as late as this month and incurring double the cost. *sigh* Oh well, lesson learned! We really have to be extremely careful next time, and not succumb to those too-good-to-be-true offers.

Found It!
Well, I've finally decided on this gown design and submitted it to my soon-to-be sister in law for execution. I hope they are able to execute it as close as the one in the photo.
Now that's all in the works, I am actually quite excited in going home and attending the wedding. It's occasion like this that give you a reason to really dress and glam up! :)

More Shopping
With the new baby now (and I a referring to the car, and certainly not a person!), I have been assigned the role of caretaker as I am the main user. I am not complaining because I do love the new car. I've even gone to the point of buying auto accessories for it without hubby in tow, so it really does have my personal touch on it! I am thinking of even more ways of sprucing it, though not to such a feminine point. And it's got me pretty excited! :)

Intellectual
Your Gift is Intellect
You are a big thinker, and you're always playing with new ideas. You are curious about the world. You enjoy learning and developing new theories. You enjoy researching, analyzing, and solving problems. Thinking hard feels good! You're the type of person who finds most mental tasks to be easy. You love to stretch your brain.
Really now?! I doubt about that 'feel good' part. At times, I just stay away from thinking and want to go just blank. Thinking sometimes gives me a headache, to be honest!
Anyway, got to go and check out some pet supplies for some friends of mine. TTFN.

More Wedding Preps
Well, I have managed to iron out my holiday schedule now and have informed my boss about it. So that's all good to go.
My soon-to-be sister-in-law has sent me the sketch for Erin's gown so I can send her the little girl's measurements soon. Here's the design for the flower girls' gowns:
I actually quite like it because it is simple yet elegant. My SIL says Merlene Marcelo is doing their gowns. I've heard about Merlene before and had heard positive feedback as well so I think they will be in good hands.
Now all I have to worry about is how to lose fat especially in the tummy area so I look presentable during the wedding. Oh, I also have to pick out a gown too!

Parties Galore
It's going to be a full weekend for us! Can you imagine three separate parties to attend to in two days? Well, I can't! LOL! It was supposed to be four separate ones but we had to turn down one because it was in conflict with one we've already promised to go to.
It's great to get together with friends, but sometimes the weekend is your only downtime, and you really want to take advantage of that. On a more positive note though, I don't need to brainstorm for what dish I have to cook for lunch or dinner.
Anyway, I really should get going. I still need to get the Kettlebell whistling and make myself some breakfast, as well as prepare the little girl for these events. TTFN.

Change of mind
Bold beige was not as appealing as I thought I would. I insisted on Sparkle Grey instead. I am talking about the new addition that we are expecting to arrive in the coming weeks.
And just like a human being, our old one seemed to react to all our talks about the new one by exhibiting his old problems. It's almost as if saying, "hey, I am still here and you still need to take care of me!!!" It's funny how the universe works sometimes. :) I just hope that we won't need any roadside assistance in the near future!

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.
