Could be my dream car?

My last driving lesson was two weeks ago and according to my instructor, I getting there and might be able to take the practical exams at the end of January next year. Doesn’t that sound good? I haven’t got any practice outside of the lessons with the instructor as mainly because; we don’t have an L sign to be posted to the car yet. How negligent is that? I might get them this weekend.The rule here said that I should hold my learners permit for a...

Heel Problem

Mcj’s heel structure is almost similar to the foot on the left of the photo below.I’ve read in the paper sometime ago that he might have some problems on his heel (a heel spur, I think). Nothing serious. If we are so concerned about it, we can just get a pair of corrective thongs or inserts.Have done a bit of research and some websites are confusing. Some says that heel spur and Plantar Fasciitis are one and the same. Some says that, they are not...

Big Move

I’ve promised myself that as much as possible I would minimise shopping next year and onwards. The impulse buying should be curbed if not stopped. Clothes, shoes, bag, etc. shopping should be scheduled and only then will I buy those items. Buying stuff that I don’t need should be contemplated and reflected thoroughly before spending.Promises are made to be broken; it’s a very old cliché. I should really be sane when I feel the urge of spending. I should think practically. Do I need it? Why do I want it? Do I already own almost the same stuff? Where...

My Fancy this Season

At the start of December I told Mcj that I would grow my finger nails and maybe have a manicure at the saloon just for the season. (I haven’t had one here yet.) And so I did. I found out that it will just cost me $25 for a manicure at the saloon in the shopping centre (saw some Filipinas working there). I just need time to schedule an appointment. I picked up a leaflet. Read that the saloon is not responsible for any infections that the customer may have after the fix. That fact hazed my mind on the manicure idea. The customer’s responsibility...

Sun Smart

I was reading the Totline - playgroup magazine this morning and found this great baby accessory. A sun smart sunglasses from babybanz.com.au.I thought of buying a pair for Jens - red matches his togs. Sad thing is, the shop only accept Visa and Mastercard. I don't use credit card when shopping online.We'll just pass on this for now. We might find something like these in the shops. The only unique on them is the strap that goes to the back of the...

Early Christmas Presents

Today, I am sporting my Christmas gifts from my parents-in-law and Mcj. The MP3 player from inlaws:And dresses from Mcj. Actually, I just made it up. It was my idea to buy the dresses. They're on sale - 50% off and not dear. And he loved them.No Slimquick Cleanse, though. :)I actually told him that I want pretty and dear bedsheets for Christmas but looks like it's not going to happen with the rate of shopping that I'm doing. I buy stuff implusively....

Presents

We just started our Christmas shopping last weekend and so far, we've covered most of what's needed to buy. It was just an instand decision to shop though we were actually at the shop. The shop closed late that day so we grabbed the chance. As Mcj's idea, we just bought generic gifts for the inlaws and kids - no best diet pills for those who wishes to kick some pounds. They're safe as we don't actually know what their tastes are. Here are some of...

Great Summer Reads

I just finished reading The Tinker's Girl. It's not my type of book but I got carried away that I can't put it down even if my eyes were saying no. I had to get a better lighting and splash my face with water inorder to stay awake.It transported me back to the days when my existence in this world is not known yet. 19th century traditions - slavery, mod cons were just a dream, women getting married at a way early age, etc.It's not a light read yet...

Summer Hairstyle

I have a very long hair and constantly looking for a fitting hair do. I'm not really stylish so I can't say that I follow them verbatim yet, if I have time, I do.I'm up for looking up summer hairstyles and thought of sharing here.From yahoo lifestyle:Get Sexy Waves The Easy Way"A fast, effective way to style your hair is to separate it into five large sections when dry - two on either side of your face and three at the back." He recommends running a comb through each section, then spritzing them with a setting lotion.Choose A Foolproof 'Dopopular...

Protecting My Eyes

I wanted to use contact lenses instead of eyeglasses. Not because I want to look vain but because I want to wear sun-glasses when I am out in a very glary sunny day. That was when transition lenses were not invented yet. Though there are glasses that you can top with sunnies, I don’t like the idea because of the weight that will burden the bridge of my nose. My nose is already flat as it is without anymore burden on it.Now, my glasses have the rolls...

To Kills Some Time

To kill some time, I hop on to youtube and search for kids videos or tagalog movies to amuse me. I haven’t tried to look up for Christian videos though. I might try sometime.Here’s a snippet of what I like:And more, of course.My officemate gave me DVD's of Gulong ng Palad soap. I watched the first three and found it very tragic and traumatic that I jumped onto the last one to finish it. I know that I saw it before but it must have been ages ago because I forgot the plot. Anyway, I had fun for a little whi...
