Last Minute Shopping

Mom will do last minute shoping- for herlself. LOL As I have mentioned in my other blog, she just had our 8-year old sofa set upholstered instead of buying a new one. She is saving her money to buy an HD LCD TV that is why. I am now sure though if the will buy the package that includes the home theater seating. It's just unfortunate though that television broadcasts here are not yet HD ready. Hmmm... I guess, I'll just have to ask hubby to buy some original DVD that are high-def in form.

I still have to blog the thing I bought for myself this Xmas. I am still waiting for it to come from the manufacturer's depot.

Know what Fruit This is?

I don't know it as well. This image was just a forwarded pic included in an email sent to me by an old friend. I wonder how does this tastes like. Apparently, it is a fruit from Pomegranate trees . Ahhhh! That's the reason why I am very unfamiliar with this one. Cause we don't have it here.. LOL But admit it. Its color, texture and over all appearance is just intriguing. From reaserching, I found out that this fruit from the Wonderful pomegranate is delicious to eat fresh and also to make into a juice that is called grenadine that is a popular health drink filled with antioxidants. Wow, how about that. I'll ask hubby if they have it there locally.

--------------------------------------- More on Renovation

I can say that the renovation in my in-laws house is 90%. In fact, they are now putting in the curtains that my in-laws bought yesterday. As much as I want to help, taking care of Terrence would not just permit me to do so. He tends to be soOoo needy of my attention. I was dead tired yesterday when I cam back from work that is why I didn't notice that they have also replaced the faucets in the washroom for guests' use. I am not sure though if it's Danze faucets.But one thing is for sure though, it looks really stylish. Not just your ordinary faucet.

--------------------------------------- Officially Moving Out

Tomorrow, baby and I will be officially moving from Cavite to an apartment in Pasig. Currently, I am fixing all the things we're gonna bring as we move out. Most of my clothes are already in Pasig as I have been renting the unit for almost a year now. The things I am fixing are mostly for the little one. He just have so many clothes, and the clothes that his Dad and his paternal grandma are uber dami. I only have 1 Samsonite bag luggage so I am thinking to fill in the Caha de Oro plastic cabintes with his clothes.

AS we move out, I am sure that Terrence will miss his lolo and lola, more especially his Tita to whom he would always make sumbong when ever I would bathe him. LOL

Tailor Fit?

I just got hubby's package thru LBC today. This is not the huge balikbayan box but the suit that he bought for our little one's baptism next month. As excited mommy that I am, sinukat ko na kagad sa bornakis kow. LOL I soOooO love his outfit especially his leather shoes. :)

Here he is.

Ayaw pasukat!

Pogi noh!

I have limited access to PC rightnow. And I have to prepare Terrence's formula milk, as in NOW na!

From Hubby's Blog

Hubby seldom updates his blog. But when he does, expect that it's gonna be all about Terrence, our little of bundle of joy.

So I am going to snatch this entry from his blog. :)

--------------------------------------- Lost Engagment Ring

Looking at our engagement pictures somehow makes me feel sad. Hubby just lost the engagement rings that he gave me, about 3 years ago. I suspect that he didn't really lose it. Rather, one of their maids misplaced the ring while cleaning our room. I am not really a jewwlry person so I take off all the jewelry I wear for a day before going to bed. Bummer. Had I known that it's just gonna be lost, I wouldn't have it take off for the rest of my life. Hmmfftt!

--------------------------------------- Busy Bee

Last week was a busy week for me. Aside from the fact that we were in QC so that my little one could spend sometime with his maternal folks, I was able to buy a new HP lap top. The notebook that hubby gave me when he left last March just gave up on me. The screen has so many dead pixels that it could no longer be fixed, unless I buy a replacement of the LCD top. Anyway, I went to cyberzone last Thursday and found a good deal of notebooks for sale. It came with a free 2GB memory stick. But something bad happened to the notebook and that deserves another entry.

Dead Pixels

This laptop that I am using has some dead pixels already. When I told hubby about, he told me that he wants to buy a new laptop that I can use conveniently. But I begged off. At this time, we just have so many expenses that I couldn't afford to buy for some new items when I could have something as a replacement. The LCD TV that hubby bought a couple of years ago from US can be use as a lcd monitor.I just have to sort the cables necessary for the connection.

Almost There

Baptismal is set on December 13. I just have to confirm the time yet. Invites are ready for printing. Ninongs and ninangs have already been informed. Caterer has been booked. I opted not to get an event stylist anymore since we're just going to have the reception at my in-laws' house in Cavite. Bawi na lang sa first birthday si TJ since his dad is going to be home by that time. Hubby just sent the outfit that baby is going to wear for the occasion through LBC. It is expected to arrive sometime next week.

We opted not to have the usual long gown.

I, on the other hand is busy looking for a cake/souvenir supplier. Yeah. We're gonna have a cake/souvenir just like what we had during our wedding. Nagtitipid eh. I was supposed to book a supplier who is cavite-based but since it's taking her a long-time before she replies to my emails, I decided not to book her anymore. Anyway, I was able to find another supplier through the recommendation of another n@wie. Her cupcakes really look appealing. I hope that it's delicious too.

More updates will be posted soon :)

They Just Had To Give It Up

After 4 years of petroleum dealership, my in-laws' just had to give up managing one of Caltex-Chevron's gasoline station (if you are from the Noveleta/Kawit/Cavite City are, my in-laws used to manage Chevron's gas station in Noveleta, in front of Jollibee/McDonalds). Hindi naman lugi. Actually sales is doing very good despite of the fact that price would go up and down erratically. In fact, mother-in-law has already won various awards for highest sales of diesel and premium gas all over Luzon for 2 consecutive years. The problem lies with Chevron management itself. Sayang. Having somebody to depend on anytime of the day will be missed. At times, I would call the station for some things in the middle of the night and one of their gas boy would just deliver it to the house.Just like now, I feel so patay gutom at 2am. I am craving for ice cream. But I have no choice but to deal with the go nuts donuts my sister in-law bought me yesterday. *sigh*

Bebe on his glorious Caltex Boy days.. hehehe

They say it's just not worth the time and effort, no matter how much income it generates. Besides, ang dami ng may utang sa Caltex. Unang-una na jan ang munisipyo ng Rosario, Cavite. Heck! kapal ng fez ng mayor. Halos milyon na ang utang sa gas eh hindi naman nagbabayad pero puro pa-pogi sa munisipyo. Dang!

Anyway, now that Caltex is already closed, I would just stock up snacks and breads so that I could munch something at night.

--------------------------------------- Is this a good one?

I just realized that the Graco stroller we bought for Terrence is too heavy for me to carry around. With that, I am thinking of buying a Mclaren stroller as suggested in the yahoo support group for mommies where I am a member of. I don't really need the latest design or the top of the line stroller. I just want a cheap stroller without compromising the quality. It has to be durable and comfortable for Terrence to ride to.

In search of the stroller, we found this style. This one costs P6,500 (I just converted it to peso from US dollar: P50=$1, plus taxes of P700 so it's really P7,200). The thing is, I don't know if this is a good stroller though I found some item description.

fabric & care

• 66% Polyester, 34% PVC.
• Wipe clean.
• Imported.

details

• Ergonomically optimized, sturdy, aeronautical-quality aluminum frame with foam insulated handles and a 5-point safety harness for maximum security, removable and washable mesh fixed-position seat.
• One-hand, compact umbrella fold, carry strap for easy portability, lockable front swivel wheels, foot-operated linked parking breaks, handy mesh shopping basket, water-resistant hood and rain cover.
• Recommended for ages six months and older and for a weight of up to fifty-five pounds.
• Lightweight at 9.5 pounds; 33" x 19" x 41.5".

In addition, I am still contemplating what color I should buy. Red? Blue? Pink? (LOL wag naman pink, baka maging 'badet' ang bornakis atashi...). Sayang. Hindi ko naihabol sa package ni hubby. My 2 jumbo balikbayan boxes are set to arrive next week (yeah, those bags, shirts, perfumes and flip flops orders for Christmas season). I am wondering though if there is anybody out there who is willing to share the shipping cost. Instead of P6,500, price for the stroller will be P7,000. I am intending to buy this end of December. Package is expected to arrive mid-Feb. Any takers?

EDITED at 3:40am: Thanks to Nikki (ni Dan) for this insight. This is a Maclaren™ Volo stroller. Buti at nasabi na meron sa SM Department Store. Tinatamad akong pumunta sa Rustan's. Besides, mahal ang mga gamit dun katulad ng Quinny Buzz ni Dwayne. Allergic ako sa mahal. Actually namamahalan na ko dito sa McLaren na 'to despite of the fact na ito na ang pinakamurang model. The kuripot in me strikes. Hahahahaha!

--------------------------------------- More On Sports

I used to be a part of my highs school volleyball team where we competed with other public school from the district of Caloocan City. I was the tosser. My parents have been very supportive of me in every school activities that I participated. They even bought me a pair of FILA shoes (FILA was the "in" brand during my high school days) and I should say that having a comfy shoes helped me before well during the competition. That is why answering this survey kind of makes me feel excited.

Looking for a Second Job

Hubby is working as a full time clerk in one of the Orange County Law Office that deals with foreclosure homes. But as the US economy is going down, hubby is now looking for a second job. And since holiday is just around the corner (with Black Friday and Thanksgiving coming), retail jobs are really in demand. I hope he can find one soon. Terrence is growing so fast and before we know, he's already in college!
