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.

almost miss Paris birthday

Upon waking up this morning, I instantly checked my facebook account to see what I missed for the last couple of days. I’m indeed surprised of what I see, my cousin’s daughter (Paris) is to be celebrated today and it really slipped my mind. Truth is, I received few birthday party invitations for this month, but I failed to drop by. How can someone like me missed important events such as this? Am I that busy or I am really forgetful these days?

Lucky I managed to open my FB account, it reminds me of it. Good thing I have no previous engagement tonight so I think I will still be able to attend. It would be scary not to be there especially that cousin prepared a lot for this celebration; even the invitations are carefully selected. Although I’m not that important person, she would feel bad if I won’t come because if I were in her shoes, I will surely feel that way.

been hunting for the best model

Brother (fourth child) keeps on asking when I will buy him a laptop. Actually, I have no plans on doing that for the moment because I’m also planning to buy one for me. My lappy is consuming a lot of electricity because of its dead battery. Plus, the surface is already chapped that shows it needs to retire in the nearest future even if its still functioning well.

I have been hunting for the best model that suits my need. Yesterday I ran across the New Asus Tablet Canada in the Source. The Eee Pad Transformer TF101-A1 is the perfect tablet PC for people who want to enjoy multimedia on the move, but still wish to have easy access to the Web, email, and other productivity applications. It features NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 1.0GHz dual-core processor, 10.1″ LED-backlit screen, 16GB hard drive to name the few. I already made it one of my options when the right time comes. For now, I will continue searching until I have the money to make the purchase.

risk of losing it

Sissy, brother and mom used to tease me for gaining a lot of weight last year. Well, it was indeed a bad time of my life where I almost lost my self-esteem. Lucky for me, I was able to find my way back in feeling great. It was a tough weigh loss challenge where I fail for a lot of times. I just keep hold of my determination to look great, which pays off after some time.

For now, I’m enjoying having slender body. But, I’m at the risk of losing it again while I’m vacationing with my parents. Of course, saying “no” to the prepared food will likely hurt my old folks. To avoid that I will have to dig in and eat as much, just like my younger days. Fortunately, I now have access to fat burners so getting rid of my gained pounds is a bit easier. I don’t have to worry now if I gain little for the next few days of staying here because I know exactly I will use when I get back home. I’ll just enjoy all the scrumptious food mom and dad prepare.
