Now that I’ve finally acquired my dream bag, a Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Ebene, I know I want to have one more. It’s Gucci this time. The LV was a “push” gift from the Husband so I don’t think I can use the same reason now. I’ll have to buy this one on my own.
Joy Boston (medium) – Love the silver touch on this one. I have too many browns already.

Our car had its first break down last week. I shouldn’t have signed up for the cheapest car insurance because the repair wasn’t included in the package. Luckily, I have allotted a special budget for cases such as this so we were able to have it fixed immediately. And we take such good care of our car that the damage wasn’t that big. Still, I think it’s time to think about upgrading to a bigger vehicle now that baby #2 is on her way.
Who wants to talk about funeral costs? Not me! But sadly at our age, topics like this appear when a parent dies. Face it, we are at a stage when people around us, our elders at least, are getting sick or dying. In fact, one of my friends lost her mom last year and all we can talk about when we see each other aside from her pain is the cost of the hospitalization and funeral. She mentioned you wouldn’t care about money once you’re in the situation. That you’ll do what you can to save the one you love. I really hate talking, even thinking about things such as death but I guess we really need to be ready for the future and beyond.
A friend of mine vacationing in myrtle beach got home with a very bad case of sunburn. She looks like an oompa-loompa except she’s tall and very slim. I guess she got used to the sun in the Philippines and thought her already tan-skinned body can stand the harsh rays. Good thing she’s still on vacation so she can recuperate at home. This friend of mine always ends up having a “situation” whenever she goes out of the country. No matter how many times I tell her to research about the country, she’d still rather rough it. At least, she’s having the time of her life by getting these little adventures.
and the gifts have been given away, shipped and delivered, it’s time for me to think about my New Year’s resolution. I promise to blog about it so I won’t forget. I need a constant reminder especially if it comes to spending. For now, I am enjoying the remains of the holidays and hope that I didn’t gain too much weight from all that eating. 
Hope you are all having a wonderful time wherever you are.
Received two communion invitations today, both from my second-degree nieces. Either I’m getting really old or my cousins got married very early. A son of a friend also had his first communion and just can’t help but gush how adorable all the kids are in their white, angelic outfits. It’s cute too, the invitations. I can’t remember having to send one when I had mine. It’s a great way to let people know about this important stage in their kids’ life as a Christian. I’ll make sure to do the same thing when it’s my daughter’s turn.
So many married women and mothers are struggling to lose weight that they’d resort to all kinds of diet plans, weight loss diet pill and even buy expensive exercise equipments which they’d never really use. The problem here is lack of time and motivation, really. I remember when I was single and have all the time in the world to run after work. I don’t need to hurry home to my kids or don’t have to eat in front of my computer just because I’m juggling too much work. We just don’t have that much time right now and as for motivation, I think we’d rather see fast results. Who wouldn’t want to fit into size 4 dress in a matter of weeks especially if you’re attending an important dinner party or need to be a bridesmaid at a wedding? And we all want to have our extra fats magically disappear and yet still eat what we want right? Well, we all need to change how we look at things. Taking care of our body is important, not just for our husbands but for our own sanity too.
I’m checking out auto insurance quotes for our renewal next year. It’s going to be our last year but I am looking for something a little cheaper.
Need to have another garage sale for my daughter’s old clothes and toys. We might throw in some old appliances as we need to make space for the new baby.
Start saving up for hospital bills and of course, shopping for the baby!
Figure out what we can do to our room to make it bigger. My husband wants to renovate and expand but I’m thinking we can utilize the other room, not as a nursery but a playroom for my daughter so we can move all her stuff there.
Finding long distance movers is so convenient, thanks to Internet. My auntie was able to narrow three movers in a span of one hour and now moving from her old home to her new mansion in Los Angeles as I write this. But that’s now what this post is about. One of my greatest wish is to be able to lead a life like hers. I don’t really need a big house, I just want the same financial security that she has at 60 years old. Imagine not having to worry about money, your kids’ future, your health. Everything is taken care of, thanks to years of hard work and perseverance. And although most of the time, I prefer to be lucky, my aunt never had luck on her side. She strived hard, never settling unless it’s the best option and dreamed big even when she was a teenager. Guess we can all borrow a page from her book right?
