Hubby and His Annoying Practices

I had another sleepless night in Maine. Hubby wasn’t able to sleep last night because something was bugging him. We already slept late last night because we watched TV till midnight. I was already snoring the night away for a few minutes when he woke me up. Yes, he woke me up. And yes, it was not the first time he did that. He wakes me up every time he can’t sleep. He wakes me up when something is bothering him. He wakes me up when he can’t wait till morning to tell me things no matter how simple or unimportant they are.

Oh well, Hubby has his ways of doing certain things that really annoy me. And somehow, I am beginning to accept those annoying things as part of what he is. Do I have a choice? No! So why bother whining about it when I know that those annoying things are just the counterpart of some of the annoying things that I myself possess too. Oh yes, Hubby has his counter-attacks every time I would point those annoying things out to him. And he has a point too, that I had to admit.

So what’s the bottom line? Stop whining. Should it be my New Year’s Resolution? Maybe not. Should I get even with him tonight? Maybe yes!

Do Yourself a Favor: Make Yourself Amazing

Aside from chocolates… cosmetic surgery is also one of the best things that ever happened in this planet. Any woman even the most beautiful wishes that she is more beautiful that she already is. Any woman even the perfect one finds flaws in her perfect body. And any [average] woman like me would want to have a Fairy Godmother to make a wish for a “make-over” especially in this era where cosmetic surgery is just like getting a manicure.

It’s a girl thing. Men may not understand it. And some women may don’t either. But in the average… most women… if they have the chance… the resources… and the guts to change one or two imperfections in their body… they would do it. They would do it because they know it will give them not only satisfaction but self-confidence and happiness that no man could ever give them.

Good thing… with MYA these things are possible. Why MYA? Because MYA has 25 years of experience in cosmetic surgery. They have the best cosmetic surgeons who have done hundreds of procedures to satisfied clients. And with just one phone call, you can get a free consultation with their amazing coordinators who will guide you in your decision making process. And most importantly, they also provide a comprehensive aftercare package to help you get back on your feet after the surgery.

C’mon, we are all living in the “future” now. With a little tummy tuck here and a neck and face lift there… you give yourself the most amazing gift that will make you feel important. So do yourself a favor… make yourself amazing because you deserve it.

My Priceless Christmas Gifts

I just started work last December 22nd and obviously, I am not yet entitled to a Christmas bonus. I haven’t even received any salary just yet. The only earnings I got are from my header designing, business card making and a few freelance writings. And with my decent earnings from them, I was able to get my family cheap gifts for Christmas.

I am good at doing digital scrapbooking so I used my talent on making something for Christmas. I did some scrappy thingy for my family this Christmas as my present. They maybe cheap considering the money I spent on them but with the time and effort I put on each gift, they are certainly priceless.

I made some digital scrapbook photos for each one of them and ordered some mugs and have photos printed on them. Oh they so love their personalized mugs. At least I would know whose dirty cup is in the sink and they can wash their own cups this time. LOL.

I also made special DVD movies of all the photos I had on file for each one of them. I have wanted to save those photos on DVD a long time ago so that in case the computer crashes I have a back up file. But I came up with a better idea when I experimented on the DVD maker. I ended up with cool DVD movies with them as the stars. I only bought special software for making and printing the DVD case and labels.


My gifts may not be expensive but I know that my family would always understand if I will not be able to give them expensive gifts. They are indeed very thankful. But we have a saying… it’s the thought that counts. And with all the thoughts I put into making them that made the gifts… priceless.

Gourmet Chocolates… Anyone?

I have not found anybody on this planet who doesn’t like chocolates. Who wouldn’t want chocolate? Even those people who are body conscious admit that they have cravings for chocolates. People who are allergic to it are also tempted to get their hands on it and would happily endure pain just to have a taste of it. And there would be people who would certainly kill for it. I would!

Chocolate is the most amazing thing ever invented. LOL. I will be so happy to have my share anytime even the most simplest and ordinary of its kind. But if you are talking about gourmet chocolates I will certainly drool and go gaga over them. And if you are talking most specifically about Gertrude Hawk Chocolates, I will certainly worship you. Trust me. Chocolate from Gertrude Hawk is the most heavenly of all chocolates on this planet.

Gertrude Hawk offers the most amazing varieties of chocolates and candies for all occasions. They have lots of stocks of gourmet goodies that are ideal as gifts for people you love or for people you want to impress. They have unique chocolates and candies that you cannot find anywhere else to satisfy your sweet tooth. And what is more important is that you can also get them online on great deal of a price. So what are you waiting for? Christmas may be over now but I’m sure you will always come up with a special occasion just to get your gourmet chocolates.

Priceless Reaction

This is indeed a week late post. I’m so sorry about that but as you may all know by now I have a huge posts backlog all across my 9 blogs. No, I'm not in a blogging coma. It’s still about the car accident issue of course. It’s only now that I gather enough guts, time, effort and mood to write again. And since I have a new job, my blogging has to take the backseat for now too so that added to my valid reasons for not blogging. But I am not totally worried because as I have said before, writing is my passion and will always be.

This is a week late post about Christmas. I have not written anything about Christmas Day because the accident happened before Christmas. It was indeed a sad moment for us. But I am grateful that we were ok and were able to celebrate Christmas just the same.

And so last Christmas we opened our gifts just like anybody else in this planet. The kids were very happy to receive their wish lists though they were not as many as last year. Of course, Brandon was the most excited of all because of the toys he got. He has new video games and robots and movies and what not. And if Brandon was happy about his gift I bet for sure that Hubby was indeed very happy with what I got him for Christmas.

I got Hubby a whole case of San Miguel Beer! He so loved that beer the first time he tasted it in the Philippines. Too bad I have to go to Boston to get it for $8.65 for 6 packs. I got a good deal though when I bought one case because I only paid 32$ for 24 packs. Oh well, I may only had over 2$ less on the price of the beer but the glow in his eyes when he opened his gift is… priceless.

I so love Hue

One of the best things I love about winter season is the fashion. I love winter clothing because I love scarves, gloves, boots and leggings. I love dressing up in layers with nice coats and sweaters. And I love pairing them with matching scarf and hat.

I just so love winter fashion. Leggings in all styles and colors are a-must for me during this season. I cannot go out without wearing leggings. I wear leggings as undergarments for pants especially during those freezing cold days. I wear leggings with my favorite boots and my sexy mini skirt. I even wear just leggings or comfy socks and my hubby’s old, big and worn-out shirt as my lounge clothes during those lazy cold snowy days.

And since I love leggings, there is no other place I would get my special leggings but from Hue.com. Hue.com is the only place I could get the best deal… the best style… the best quality leggings that fit my budget… my taste… and my life-style. Good thing that Hue.com has an amazing stock of legwear, intimate apparels, casual wear and even bath and body products. Their products are unique and one of a kind. That is why, this Christmas, I got all my Christmas presents from Hue.com and I am happy that my step-daughters and girlfriends loved what they got from me.

The Day I Thought I will Miss Christmas

I am still not in the mood for blogging! My mind is still not functioning well the way it used to. And I am not so psyched up to do anything just yet.

A couple of week’s back I had so many ideas in mind to discuss on my posts across my 9 blogs. I know I have a lot of backlog on my posts due to a lot of things but I never worry about it because I know too that I can easily spring back up without a problem. But something came up that obstructed my mind frame and I am so bummed out. I am still in shocked due to the recent mishaps that happened to me and my hubby.

I know I owe everyone [at least you my loyal friends who kept coming here and checking on me and my blog] an explanation for my long absence from blogosphere. I'm really sorry for not delivering the goods well on time [whatever that means]. As a serious blogger I know I have an obligation to my passion and my audience.

Of course I have an alibi… a valid one. I had an almost fatal car accident! I almost missed Christmas this year! I almost totally and absolutely would have stopped blogging... for good!

The last photo of my baby before the accident.

My 8-month old baby is gone now. And this is how she looks after that accident. She was hauled away by the towing truck to her final resting place at Moody's and was pronounced "total lost" by the insurance company the following day... giving us enough notice to look for a replacement.

Christmas is the time for thanksgiving and it never really made that great of an impact on me than this year. This Christmas I am so grateful that I was able to celebrate it again with my loved ones.

Get Yourself a Good Night Sleep

I have been losing sleep lately. I wrote something about it too last week because it was indeed a big deal for me. Losing good night sleep is bad for the health. It makes one grumpy or irritable. It makes one weak. And it can make one unwell both physically and emotionally.

There are lots of factors that contribute to sleepless nights. It could be the weather. It could be emotional problems. It could almost be everything. And most importantly, it could also be the bed. You see if you are sleeping on a very uncomfortable bed, it surely makes a big difference.

That is why it is wise to invest on comfortable bed that can surely give that most sought-after good night sleep. So what are you waiting for?

Out-of-Stock Rice

It supposed to snow today. It is reported that we will have an ice storm tonight. And it is expected that we will have power outages all over the state by tomorrow. But I still have to do errand before it happens.

I went up to my friend’s house this morning and brought some Christmas gift wrappers and scotch tape. I had my special Christmas present for Hubby up there so I have to wrap it before he would find out about it. I also went up to my friend’s house today to have a little chit-chat. But unlike my previous visits, we didn’t feast on Pinoy food this time. For a change... we did not eat rice today. She ran out of jasmine rice so she didn’t cook any rice at all. Apparently, the Asian Stores in Portland are out-of-stock of jasmine rice so we need to deal with Chinese take-outs if we really need to have our rice diet.

I only stayed at my friend’s house till before noontime. The snow started to fall while I was wrapping the present. And I drove in the snow going back home. It was my first time to drive in a snow. I was really very very careful and a bit scared. But then everything turned out ok. I was able to reach home safe and unharmed.

For Man’s Best Friends Only

Dogs are no longer considered as man’s best friend. They are already considered as member of the family. They are treated like children by couples who are not ready to raise real kids. They are well taken care of and are provided with basic needs just like human beings.

Having dogs is a great responsibility. It’s like raising real kids too… literally. Have you heard about “dog-sitter”? Well, that is the thing of the present. And yes, there is such thing as… dog boarding… dog camp… and dog spa. Now you don’t have to worry if your neighbor or spouse feed your dog when you are away or where you will bring your dog when you have to travel half around the world on business trip because there is a place where your dog can have fun in a safe and dog-friendly upscale environment. A special place where they are pampered, groomed, trained or maybe having a slumber party while mommy is out of town.

But if you don’t own a dog and thinking of a good business… check out CampBowWowUSA.com and learn about Pet Sitting Business. This is indeed a booming business because there are a lot of dog owners who are looking for a special place or a "dog day care" for their best friend or “babies” to be pampered and taken care of when their “mommies or daddies” are not around.
