...for a ME time that is! Since I was confused on what I should do yesterday during my ME time, I decided to do everything! LOL!
After work, I updated all my blogs of course and did a few bloghopping. After that I scrapped for two LO's that is part of Alex's mini photobook which I will be giving to my Mom for her birthday. After scrapping, I felt a bit sleepy, so I took a nap! And I slept for 2 hours! It was heaven for me. No distractions or whatsoever. Except for Hubby texting me every once in a while. :D
After taking a nap, I had some snacks and then tried to make a jello (with fruit cocktail) for Hubby and Alex. See, I can cook! LOL! So when Hubby and Alex arrived, I felt so refreshed and happy too. :)
I guess I did have a good day yesterday in spite of working on a holiday. Another working holiday (for me) is coming up next week. And I wonder (again) what I should do on that day after work? Hmmmm...
How did your holiday went? ;)
What to do!? What to do!?
This is what I've been thinking since this morning the moment Hubby and Alex left for the in-laws. You see, it's a holiday today but I have work. So I just let Hubby and Alex go out for today so they have fun at the same I get to have my "ME" time after work too!
But the funny thing is that I don't know what to do with my free time anymore. It seems like I have been spending time with Alex too much that when I get to have my own free time, I have a lot of things in mind that I want to do BUT, I couldn't choose which is which. I'm thinking of sleeping, scrapping, bloghopping, and a LOT more! (*sigh*) With this I would end up doing NOTHING! LOL!
Anyway, I had a fun Saturday with Hubby. We went to do our early Christmas shopping at 168 Mall and we went home with a lot of loots. It was our first time there so we were surprised how big the mall was. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping (yes, you read it right!). I'm doing it early because I want to focus on Baby #2 and Alex when I give birth which is the last week of November. By that time, I'm pretty sure that I won't have the strength to think about it and even buy those things.
Time is flying so fast! I noticed! I'm on my 26th week already and no time I will be giving birth already. So what I'm doing now is enjoying the time with Hubby and Alex and do whatever I can while I can still move around. I feel bigger already and I can just imagine what I will look like in 2 months!
And oh, I got Alex's first year photobook already and will post about it in my other blog soon! I got so excited because it looked pretty good. More than I have expected. So now, I will have to prepare myself to make another one for Baby #2. :)
I hope everyone is having a nice (long) weekend! (*wink*)
I can't think of a better title. I just feel happy today because it's FRIDAY! Last day of work for the week and I can't wait for the weekend. It has been a busy (or tiring) week and I can't wait to have another relaxing weekend. Although we have things to do over the weekend but hopefully it will relax us (especially me) since it entails shopping! LOL! I hope we can also drop by the mall to buy some stuff for the wirings in my workstation. The dust is already getting on my nerves! Anyway, will cut this short now since my mind is on the weekend-mode already.
Oh by the way, the photo of Alex above was taken a few weeks ago. Can she be a future rock star!? LOL! She is singing EEYAEEYAYOOO and looks like she is having a grand time!
Happy Friday and Happy weekend everyone! (*wink*)

Thanks to Kathy for this kikay tag!
I don't wear makeup all the time and I don't consider myself kikay at all! But the moment I saw my eye bags and my face getting pale, I started considering wearing makeup. But I only got these four items in my makeup kit. Theses include the following items from Body Shop...
1. All-in-one Foundation
2. Concealer for my eyebags
3. Retractable blusher brush
4. Shimmer Waves Bronze Blush-on
5. Lipstick/Lip gloss
That's it! Although I'm hoping to add a pimple cream in my list but for now, I will have to pass on that since I'm pregnant.
Care to share yours!? :)
Apart from the Nautica watches that I saw last night at the mall, I would also want one of these for my birthday or maybe Christmas...
First Row: Grapevine in Gray, Ithak Tote in Black, Mickey Trifold Wallet in Red
Second Row: Twirl Shoulder Satchel in Green, Twirl Shoulder Satchel in Pink Floral,
Third Row: Zouk Shoulder Bag in White and Black
These are all from the Kipling Collection. The zouk shoulder bag in white and black is the latest that they got and they also have it in different colors. This one is my first choice. :) I will probably ask my brother who is in Macau to buy one for me (if it is cheaper there). So now my problem is, which one to choose! LOL!
*Photos from Kipling website.
About commercial collection agencies that is. These agencies are lead by Pyramid Financial Solutions – The Industry Leader in Debt Collection and Receivables Management. It is the number one choice for all of your receivables management needs. As a full-service debt collection agency, they have the knowledge, experience, and equipment it takes to provide you with faster, better debt returns than the competition. It think this will be a good choice for companies who are into debt collection and receivables management. I suggest they look into this one.
I couldn't believe that Alex was having nightmares already. I know there are days that she would cry while sleeping but I didn't realize that she could also remember it! Here is what our conversation one morning.
Me: Alex, what happened, why did you cry earlier? what did you dream about?
Alex: (After a few minutes) Monster Inc.
Me: Why what happened to Monster Inc?
Alex: (After another few minutes) Wawa girl, no eyes, Wawa!
Whaaat!? Did I hear her right!? She dreamt about Monsters Inc!? But as far as I can remember, she watched this movie months ago so I couldn't believe it when she told me about it.
Anyway, maybe for now, I won't let her watch that movie so she won't have nightmares about it.
Now I'm off to discuss CAT5e with Hubby since he has been experiencing some difficulties with his internet at work.
On our way to my in-laws' house, Hubby and I discussed on what we are getting for car insurance next year. We ended up with nothing because we are trying to sell the car and deciding about it won't be a good idea. Anyway, we will just probably talk about it again if we will be able to sell the car hopefully within the year.
We got my in-laws' house at around 7:30PM last Friday because traffic was a bit bad at EDSA. We were just in time for dinner and some close friends of my in-laws were already there.
The food was great. They ordered for Chinese food like Cold cuts, Soup, Yangchow Fried Rice, Beef with Broccoli, Fried Chicken, and Pork Spareribs. Desserts were everywhere! We had Lansones, Mango, Sugarhouse Cake, Almond Jelly, and pastries from Conti's. It was heaven for me! LOL! But of course, I couldn't eat everything all at once because of my diet and blood sugar, so I had to eat it every hour. I had the time of my life! :D
Everyone was so full after dinner and at exactly 8PM everyone was glued to the TV watching the opening of Beijing Olympics which was so amazing! Too bad though I didn't watch the show from the start.
After a couple of minutes, the guests (who were the close friends of my in-laws) started calling it a night while we were left there waiting for the parade of athletes. After the parade of the Philippine athletes we then called it a night. Except for Hubby who watched again for the lighting of the torch which happened at around 12 Midnight. Since I couldn't sleep yet, I watched too, and was amazed by the fireworks. It was just great and overwhelming! They really did a great job on that one.
It was a long night indeed but we had so much fun and I'm sure MIL also had the time of her life. :)
I realized over the weekend that one thing to start the week right is having a relaxing weekend.
Last Friday, it was my MIL's birthday so we had dinner at their place with some close friends. Will post more on that later. We spent the night at their place so Alex, with her cousins were able to swim again Saturday morning. They had a blast as usual.
Yesterday, we planned to go to the mall to do some errands but we ended up sleeping the whole afternoon, which is a better choice. (*grin*) I had a terrible headache before lunch so that made me decide not go out anymore. Except for hearing mass at the Church near our place.
I was also able to do a little bit of budgeting and planning for the rest of the week. You see, it is really nice to do this every weekend. Just stay at home, bond with Hubby and Alex. With that, I got a lot of energy for the rest of the week and also for the upcoming weekend. (*wink*)
