Ideal Car

How do you like this car? This is one of the car that I am eyeing for for myself, incase I know how to drive. It is small. The only thing that I don't like is because it is two door. But Mcj said, it is the right car for me. Feminine. Apt for my size.Well, buying a car for me isn't in the sooner list of priorities yet. But even then, my mind is already summing up the entire cost - the car itself, CTP, car insurance, rego, etc. Whew! I think, I might...

It Is Cold

It's freezing today. The mercury is not that low but the exposed parts of my body are tingling from cold. Brrrr.Though winter might be a welcome change from the humid summer or some hot days of autumn, I don't really embrace it. First, I am not used to cold. I don't like wearing layers of clothes. Just imagine the inconvenience of changing jackets and jumpers when you go out just to throw the rubbish or to pick up some mail. Plus, my skin gets really dry. I really like my lotion but I tried the new variety of the brand for this winter. I'm still...

Travel Plans

My sister has kept on asking me when are we going to the Philippines. You see, we informed them of our holiday plan which was supposedly this July but since, Mcj will have his teeth fixed on early August we postponed it. And we are not sure now when can we make the plan happen.But I think, it is really not meant to be for us to go as we haven't got luggages yet. We planned on buying them but well, it just remains a plan. Plus we haven't consider on taking travel health insurance yet. Though Jens is up to date with his vaccine, he might still be...

Boost Him Up

Just this evening, MIL was talking to me of her buying a booster seat for their car for the Little Boy's use. Well, though we have car seat for him in our car, there are times that Mcj could not take us to somewhere that we want or could not pick us up, so my FIL is always on the rescue. He doesn't really keen on using our car because it is big for him to control and the steps are higher.Anyway, I didn't give her any comment. As long as it doesn't...

Something I Still Enjoy

I rang a friend back in the Philippines one Sunday and she asked me if I was watching a boxing match. Oh, oh. Nope. We don't have cable connection. I am not complaining because we get good telly shows and movies even on free to air tv. Though some series might not be the latest, they still are new to me. :) If I'm after of watching shows from back home, I get to see it if I look up in the net.Anyway, movies and tv shoes here in down under are not really the latest. I realized that some movies were even shown ahead in the Philippines than here....

The Essentials and What Not

Beannies, berret, hoodies, hats, gloves, woolens, cardigans, track pants, thermal suits, what else? These are the winter essentials. Ah, don't forget the heater. :)I'm thankful today that it is a little warmer than yesterday. Then, it was 4 degrees in the morning. Brrrrr. Jens and I slept-in until almost 10AM. It was warm in bed.Winter is the time that people spend most of their time indoors, it is also a good time to stay outdoor and sunbake when the sun is up. It is warmer outside than inside, well that is in our place. It's just not the time...

Keeping Warm

The mercury is really getting low in our side of the world. Yesterday, it was 17 degrees. For some who's been living in places that snow, it's not that cold but it was for me. We were out yesterday and I wish I had gloves and bonnet or hat with me especially during the night. Mcj had his hat and the little boy was wearing a hoodie. Plus, I got no pockets to hide my hands so imagine how cold they were.Now, I'm in the look-out for hats like this with...

Retail Therapy

When we were at the shops the other day, Mcj showed me something that he thought I might like and I did - eventually bought it. It's a Playboy winter dressing gown. The price tag already showed that it was sort of cheap for the brand but we were more surprised when I checked the docket that it was way cheaper. Almost 50% discounted from the price tag. I loved it.Anyway, there wa really big sale there. It was the original direct factory outlet. Looked like there is a big sale everyday. Because of the massive options and big sale, I just managed...

Wimbledon

It's now down to final for Wimbledon. I wasn't really following the events and games since the start - just started from the 4th round. But, I wouldn't want to miss the finals for men and women singles. It's Roger against Rafa and Venus against Serena. It would be very interesting especially in the women's.I know for a fact that there's big money in tennis, that is if you won. But I was overwhelmed to learn the amount that the champion would bag last night.Anyway, I reckon tennis just like golf is a clear cut game. No nonsense. Unlike other events,...
