will just make up to him this Christmas

Dad celebrates his 54th birthday yesterday. Of course, I did not forget about it no matter how far I maybe. But, I was not able to give him anything because I’m also in tight budget this time. There are so many expenses I need to attend to. In fact, I’m running short of money. All I can do is to call him first thing in the morning, which I do at 5:00AM in his time. I hope it’s enough to send my sincere greetings to my loving dad. I will just make up to him this Christmas.

If I’m not having financial difficulties, I planned on giving him men’s michael kors watch as his birthday gift. I’m sure he will love the knox watch. Well, whatever I give him he loves and treasure it. Father’s always appreciate whatever their child gives them. But, despite that I will make sure to give him the best possible gift I can afford. He will be very pleased if I give him something that matches his style and personality; not just anything. But, it will not happen for his birthday this year, which makes me feel really bad. That’s why I will make sure to make up to him in Christmas.

full of adventure and fun

Last Sunday was full of adventure and fun. I just had an interview with one of the telecom companies here in UAE. And, it was actually my first time to go to Dubai, so I really had no idea how to get there. Knowing that I’m bad at geographical location, hubby agreed to go with me, which makes me feel lucky and loved.

Anyway, it was almost a two hour drive to our destination. Well, I will definitely find myself lost if I go alone with all the buildings and the crisscrossing roads and the sand. Good thing, hubby did not leave me until we arrive in the office. Then, I’m alone until the end of the interview and have to go to the nearest mall to wait for hubby again.

At first, I find it fun roaming around the huge mall. After sometime I already feel bored, but I have little choice since I have to wait for hubby. If I only have a gps with me I will decide to go home alone. But, I can’t because I will certainly get lost. We even find ourselves going back and forth, which makes it a lot exciting.

When we get home, I immediately look for affordable gps where I find lots of it including Garmin chirp. I will certainly need to have one in the coming days. One way or the other I need to be independent and go to places by myself. I can’t continually rely on hubby every time I need to go somewhere.

great time for kids to have some fun

My parents aren’t really a fan of Halloween. That’s the reason me and my siblings haven’t experienced having indoor halloween decorations in our home. But, their mind set changed now that they are old. They wanted my younger siblings, especially the youngest who is in primary school, to have great memories of the Halloween. This, I want to throw my support because I feel it’s a great time for kids to have some fun.

Well, brother is pretty excited about it. He asked if he could start inviting his friends and classmates to come along. I told him to wait until I could finalize everything besides it also needs some preparations. Since this is the first time he will celebrate Halloween, I want to make sure it’s really scary and fun. That’s why I need to find some really creepy decorations to make it more interesting and exciting. Lucky for me I still have some ample time to do some scouting.

little way to avoid me nagging

No matter how often I tell my fourth sibling not to use the battery in our remote control for his gaming activity, he never listens. It’s just too irritating to watch television and being surprised that the remote isn’t working, which I change battery two days ago. I’m actually getting tired of it. If I continue to be bothered by it, I will just end up hurting myself.

Oh well, I guess I can do little about him. In order to avoid me nagging, which increases my blood pressure, I will just stock up on batteries. But, hubby said it’s better to buy rechargeable batteries for him. Doing so will eliminate huge number of used battery cell. While checking for great battery deal in the web, I came across a huge selection of everything from battery chargers to battery packs and testers. Plus, I also find rechargeable digital camera batteries, camcorder batteries, laptop batteries, netbook batteries, cell phone batteries, telephone batteries, PSP batteries, makita batteries, calculators, watches and more – all at great prices. I’m impressed with the number of batteries I’m seeing. I’d better call my second sibling to inform about the laptop battery because he’s in need of one too.

preparing myself

I’m actually excited and nervous at the same time over our trip this September. It’s going to be a new experience and challenge to us. But, I’m sure we will be able to adjust accordingly. It’s a new place and new culture, which makes it more exciting.

Hubby said that his brothers and their roomies love to go outdoors every other month. It’s their way to unwind after hard days of work. I love the outdoors, but I’ve never slept outside a structure before. Mom and dad used to be very protective towards their children; that’s why I never experience sleeping outdoors. Oh well, I guess I should prepare myself. Hubby shouldn’t know that I am already looking at the Sierra designs sleeping bags. He might think that I am indeed too excited. Well, it doesn’t show that much because I’m trying to keep it low.

thought of sending gift for no reason

According to mom, dad has been feeling lonely for two days already. She isn’t aware of the reason behind it because he’s not saying it. All we can do is to speculate and rationalize. But, it’s really sad to know one of your family member isn’t feeling well, right? I wanted to give him happiness, yet it’s too difficult because I’m miles away from him. And, it is impractical to flight back home because there’s only three weeks left before our flight abroad.

I thought why not just send a gift for no reason? Though it’s not his birthday or any special event, I guess giving him something will lift his mood. I’m sure it doesn’t need an occasion to make someone feel important and remembered. For sure, if it is dad he will love everything given by his kids; whatever it is it will be fine. But, I will make sure I will give him something special.

never thought it can do wonders

Oh my! This is the first time I felt so excited and scared at the same time. It’s so intense that I can’t do anything right and it takes away my energy. Thinking about it makes me want to sleep. I always tell hubby how I feel, but he said it’s natural because she also had this feeling before. The thing is, it’s already getting in my way because I can’t focus on the task at hand.

I’m not sure how to forget about it temporarily. But, hubby had good plan and that is by taking me to shopping. Yep, it’s really effective for me especially when the Epson TM-T88V is already printing the receipts. We roam the mall for at least two hours, of course buying only the things that I like. I never thought shopping can do wonders for me especially during this time.
